COLUMBUS, January 6, 1868.
Editors Ohio Statesman Some very kind
hearted friends have suggested that my
name be Presented to the Convention to
assemble here on the eth, as q candidate
for the Office Of Judge of the Supreme Court
of the State. A nomination to that 6listin-
guished position. By. the representatives of
the great Democratic party of Ohio, as it
would confer the highest honor, may well
be the aim of thu highest ambition. But
feel that have no right to expect it, and q
just appreciation ofsmy own merit may be
a sufficient reason why I should not seem
to seek it. Whilst, therefore, duly sensible
of the partiality that has prompted the
suggestion, desire to say through your
paper that will not be a candidate, and
desire that my name shall not be used.
Very respectfully, ff.ik'i.ss =

<. ANNUAL MESS<AGE
OF THE
GOVERNOR OF OHIO,
Fifty.Efghah General Assembly.
mt the Session Commencing
January 6, 1865.
TO rHE

Fellotc Citizens of the General Assembly:
1t is made my duty by the Constitution
to lay before you the general condition of
the affairs of the State, in the several
departments of the government, and to
suggest such Legislation as may seem
expedieEt in view of such condition.
sna s4 Clear 70 OF s6s
fairs will permit, and shall avoid the dis
cussion of all questions not directly grow
ing ont of the administration of the State
Government. ts
~ = - FINANCES.
The reduction in the burdens of taxa
tion, of which the estimate was presented
in my last message, was carried into effect
under the legislation of last winter, maxi
ing a saving OF. three millions of dollars to
the people. This was mainly in conse-
quence of the cessation OF the extraordina-
ry expenditures belonging to state of
war, and the resumption of the ordinary
routine of peaceful lite.
RECEIPTS.
The balance in the Treasury on the 18th
November, 1866, was S l,02l. .251 6S; the re-
ceipts during the last fiscal year were $5,-
155,703 10; making the total amount of
funds in the Treasury during the year,

The increased number of prisoners in the
Penitentiary has made the duty of investi-
eating applications for pardon more bur-
densome during the past year than is COM
mon. In large class of cases occurring
Immediately after the close of the war, the
sentences were more severe than had been
usual before, owing to the necessity felt by
the judiciary to check the apparent ten
dency to crimes of violence. In a consid-
erable number of these cases the judges
have regarded it proper to recommend the
remission of a part of the sentence, espe-
cially when the community seemed to have
regained its ordinary quiet and law-abi-
ding character. 1 have endeavored to use
the right to exercise clemency in strict CO.
operation and good understanding with
the judiciary, and the detailed report of
pardons issued will show very few cases
in which the judge who tried the cause has
not urged the pardon. -7
SECRETARY OF STATES REPORT.
The Secretary of State, besides presenting
the usual reports from his office, has, in
obedience to the requirement of the last
General Assembly, collected with great in
dustry such information as could be OBJ
tanned in regard to authentic portraits of
| the earlier Governors of the State, which
in the Capitol. Whatever information on
the subject can now be made available is
thus laid before you in authentic form for
such action as may seem appropriate.
PRINTING AND BINDING.
The Supervisor of Printing reports that
the cost of printing public documents and
binding the same, for the year past, has
been but little over one-third the amount
expended in the preceding year; and that
this change is mainly owning to the differ
ence in contract price for the unit of meas
urement, the quantity of work being about
the same. He also reports himself ready
to assume entire charge of the binding for
the State under the statute for Introducing
printing and binding into the mechanical
instruction of pupils in the Deaf and Dumb
Asylum, if small additional appropriation
is made for that purpose. rr.gs szEh as'

tage on the contracts will c over all mar
gins necessary for the security Of the
State.
The change of the plan of the engine
house, authorized by the last Legislature,
by which it was separated from the main
building and placed on the north side OF
the alley in rear of the Institution, was
the cause of a considerable addition to the
estimated expense of the structure, but the
great advantages of room, of light and
air in the school building, and OF the
health of the whole establishment. made
that change a real economy. In digging
for the Foundation of this part of the
building, a quicksand and springs greatly
impeded the work and increased its cost,
but two strong flowing wells were secured
which promise to be permanent and which
supply a superabundance of good water
tor the use of the whole Institution. These
will be invaluable, and much moro than
repay the extra cost they have occa-
stoned.
REFORM school,
The Reform School continues its valu-
able work, and is every year more clearly
seen to be working upon the only true
principle in the treatment of juvenile Of
tenders. Appended to the report of the
Commissioners will be found the report of
a committee, appointed under authority of
the Assembly, to select piece of corn land
to add to the Farm. The committee have
selected farm in the Hooking river bot
toms, which, in their judgment, meets the
wants of the School, and, when added to
the high, hilly and thin-soiled tract now
occupied by the Institution, will give the
variety of employment and of produce
which is greatly needed. The fruit culture
OF the hills has been profitable during the
past year, as the report shows; and the ad-
dition of some corn and hay land will tend
still further to reduce the expense OF the
School When it is remembered that the
whole investment in this Institution for
land and buildings is not over one-eighth
the cost of some of the asylums having no
larger number of inmates, there will be
little hesitation in appropriating the mod
crate sum now needed. ria = Ell-l f.1=--s

not do otherwise than insist on the applica-
ton of the test oath in organizing for bust
ness. Any other course would have been
a palpable violation Of law and disregard
Of the expressed solemn will of the Amer
lean people. When the constitutional
amendment has been ratified and our State
is again fairly in the Union every part of
our State constitution will be duly en-
forced; and from that date the oath
of office prescribed by the State constitu-
ton, and not the test oath prescribed for
Federal officers, will be sufficient for all
officers under our State government. In
wishing to do away with the test oath before
our regular readmission to The Union our
Democratic citizens now evince a sudden
and a too hasty desire for reconstruction.
Let the law be enforced as it stands or the
statute book; let our acts leading to re-
construction be regular and legal, so that
there may be no room for unjust complaint.
At the proper time, and in the event set
forth in the law. the oath found in the con-
stitution Of Louisiana will be the only one
required from officers of this State; but I'M
til that time does arrive, and that event
does happen, let our Democratic politicians
be patient.

BON VOYAGE,


There is an old Latin maxim that "the
apothecary's shop contains no remedy
against DEATH, So it is with that extreme
ly delicate patient dubbed by Democratic
quaeks and medicines "army and navy
conservativism.' A fatal disease afflicted
it from birth, and despite the skiRend ex-
perience of those who undertook to nourish
it and develop its strength, this sickly off
spring of reckless ambition and defeated
treason has come, in Louisiana at least, to
an early, but we can not say, untimely end.
He has gone In all the pride and dis
tinction of his elevated station, he, the
only and sole delegate to the New York

lowed to the depot by not numerous but
very select cortege Of admiring friends,
whose saddened ceuntenances seemed to
indicate that, like old Grimes, they "ne'er

have already narrated how, by taking
liberties with the names Of several

from Louisiana to the convention above

TO THE PUBLIC,

NEW ORLEANS, La, June 20, 1868.
/ have sold to General A. L. Lee all of my
rights and interest in the New Orleans RE-
PUBLICAN, and to-day my connection with
the paper ceases. While under my control
it has passed from the verge of bankruptcy
to prosperity. 1t has become not only the
official organ of the Republican party of
Louisiana but also one of the leading Re
publican Journals of the South. 1t affords
me great pleasure to believe that In the
contests for equal rights and equal
laws, for Christianity and for civilization,
the REPUBLICAN has bone no insignificant
part, and that its services are fully appre-
ciated by the Republican party. Because
believe in the principles 1t has sdvo-
Gated, and have received the sympathy and
assistance of many warm personal friends,
aud of the whole Republican party, my
labor upon the paper has become labor of
love; and it is with feeling of regret that
/ transfer to another the offspring l have
nurtured to a healthy and vigorous man
hood. But the plain truth is Providence
never intended "usn for an editor. "We'
are united for the duties of the position,
aud therefore transfer them to ADLER and
more experienced hands. General A. L.
Lee is so well known to our citizens that he
scarcely needs an Introduction. He was a
gallant Union soldier during the war; he is
stanch and true Radical Republican; and
he has great ability and editorial experience
Under his management the REPUBLICAN
will be much superior to what it has been
under mine, and earnestly ask that it con
tinue to receive the hearty support of my
personal friends, and oftheRepublicanp party.
And lastly, bat not less important, Igive
my heartfelt thanks to the tried friends who
have stood by me, to the assistants who
have so faithfully helped me, and to all
the patrons of the REPUBLICAN,.

A portion of the press of this city is
blatant with complaint regarding the "arst
official act performed by our new carpet
bag Governor in converting on brief
notice the General Assembly. 1t is alleged
that Republicans, favored by private mont
ton, can be present. while Democrats are
practically debarred from attendance. Let
us state fact On the twentieth instant
some twenty five Democratic members of
the Legislature called on tile Governor
elect and requested information as to his
probable course in reference to. converting
the Legislature should the bill known as
the "0mnibls bill" become a law. Gov
ernor Warneth informed this delegation
that should the bill become law during
the week just past he should issue his proc
lamation colveniDg the Legislature on the
following Monday. The bill became law,
and as the democracy had been advertised
so was the Legislature convened. The
loyal and earnest portion of this com
munity, whose representative Governor
Warmoth is, are anxious to achieve State
identity at gn early day, and we presume
the Governors proclamation was to
them an interesting and timely event.

in perfected reconstruction only a final

unpleasant frame of mind regarding his
action, they can only store away this sor-
row with thehundred others which the last

To the PnbIIe.

I have purchased and this day assume
control of the New Orleans REPUBLICAN.
1t is proposed, with due modesty but much
resolution, to make of the paper under its
new management an able, entertaining, and
desirable journal. Its political creed will
continue to be radically Republican, and
while holding itself superior to party ser
Witty and subserviency, it will use its best
efforts to prove a faithful exponent and
representative OF party views and aims. 1t
will assuredly not be run in the interests Of
any individuals or cliques. The sheet will
soon be enlarged, and all its departments
increased in volume and improved in
quality. A kind and courteous welcome is
bespoken from the press fraternity, and from
the public an encouraging and stimulating
patronage. A. L. LEE.
