COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 6.-The mes
sage Of Governor Cox was read to-
day. 1t relates mainly to local ques-
tiOns. The deduction of taxation
under the legislation of last winter,
amounted to s., ,000, 900, but this was
in consequence, chiefly, Of the cessa-
tlon of extraordinary expenditures
belonging to state OF war. After re-
eapitulating receipts and disburse-
ments 1t is estimated that the balance
at the end of the fiscal year of 1868,
will be 1876, ,4S6 SO. 1t is suggested
that the tax laws be revised and that
the inconsistencies and incongruities
In them be removed. Other colossal
topics are touched on, such as com
mon schools, benevolent institutions,
military claims, public works, &C.,
and the message concludes with the
following allusion to the Constitu-
tional Amendment: The amend
ment submitted at the October elec-

5O,629 votes. In accordance with the
provisions Of the statute | issued a
proclamation on the 30th of October,

Central Railroad.

to theg coinage of gold and silver,
which was eferred. @

amend the Judiciary Act of 1889.
The case of Thomas, Senator elect
from Maryland, was called up by Sen
ator johnson, who addressed the Sen
ate at length in exposition of the evil
dence adduced before the committee.
The charges against Thomas were dis
loyalty to the Government, evidenced
by his depicting the Treasury while
Secretary during Mr.. Buchanan's ad-
ministration, with a view to destroy
public credit, and by making dis
loyal speech on the occasion of his
election by the Maryland Legislature.
The com nittee reported that neither
charge was sustained It was further
alleged that he had given aid to the
enemy by supplying his son with
money to join the Confederacy.
johnson devoted himself to a de-
fense of his colleague against this
charge. The giving of the money
was admitted, but it was urged that
the father used earnest efforts to pre-
vent his son from going, but finding
all appeals useless, and that his son
would go, he gave the money to save
him from want In case of capture or
sickness.
Edmunds followed in opposition,
quoting testimony to support his
views and that of other members of
the judiciary Committee.
Howard referred them to Mr..
Thomas's letter of resignation, argu-
ing with Jacob TOmpson that the
Government had no right to coerce
the seeded States.

proof of disloyalty. and reason for
disqualifying. A Judge. convicted of
bribery, was disqualified from Office.
After further debate by Stewart,
Howe, and Trumbull, johnson with
drew his motion to postpone, and the
bill was laid aside.
Morton offered a joint resolution
prohibiting all Treasury Judicial off :
GERS from compromising any suit or
criminal proceedings brought against
the violators Of the Revenue Laws or
Treasury, which was tabled. 81 ~
Sumner called up the bill for the
