Constitutional Amendment-Election OF
Thurman as U, =. Senator. l't
CoLrMnIis. ID. Jnn. Il. 1s6s

COLUMBUS, o., Jau. Ia, 1906.
DEAR JOURNAL Yesterday afternoon,
Immediately after the Inauguration cere-
monies were concluded, the Democrats in
the Senate brought up the RECESSION of The
Constitutional Amendment known as article
ID, mentioned in my last. They acted in
great haste, fearing that Congress might put
the Withdrawal of Ohio's assent to it beyond
their power. .-.t...fq-
The Republican members We're fully pre-
pared and anxious to debate the measure
and throw their reasoning before the people ;
but ,thisy wass what The, cepperheads feared,
aud cut off, by springing the. previous ques-
ton almost instantly after the resolution
was brought up. The Republicans then
used all the means of delay and defeat of
the measure in tbe5r power, by motions, di-
vision of the question, and all other means
permitted by the rules, and by appealing 10
the courtesy. of the majority to olay it over
till next day at, 10 o'clock. But every elI
fort in this direction, was tested by tbe-syes
and noes, and voted down by a sttict party
vote, About P. M the main question
was reached, and carried by the opposition.
Mr.. Dangler, (Republicsn) Senator from
Cleveland, was absent during the whole
Struggle Itis said he was sick. ssrig "a
The same result was reached inthe Houte
at about 8 O'Clock PM, after a-strenuous
effort by the Republicans there to defeat the
measure. And SO the Democracy Of Ohio
have displayed anew their sympathy with
rebellion and. attachment 10 traitors. y II
should not be forgotten, but kept in blazing
light before the people of Ohio, that by this
act the Democratic party of Ohio declare
themselves Enthusiastically in favor of the
following principles aad measures s.,
.Ist, That the way shall be kept open for
the re-establishmeut of slavery. 4i- q g E.

Further, this action lends aid and comfort
to the late rebels, aud does all that Ohio
Democrats can do to preven. peaceful re-
construction of the Union.s' "d fa-

The Democratlc Platform.

Tie State Convention of the De-
mocracy which was held at Columbus
on the 9Th of January, nominated a
State ticket, (which will be found in
our Review of the Week, passed res
luton declaring George Ii. Pendleton
the unanimous choice of the Democra-
cy Of Ohio for President, and adopted
platform about as long as one of Andy
Johnson's messages. The platform
congratulates the country upon the sim
proved" aspect Of political affairs; de-
clares the party unalterably opposed to
increasing or consolidating the powers
of the General Government; condemns
what it calls the usurpations of Con
gress and terms the several recoustruc-
ton laws unconstitutional; opposes the
idea that the Union was ever broken, OF
that any of .he States we're ever out;
insists distinctly that the Southern
States are entitled to immediate and
unqualified representation in Congress
and the Electoral Colleges; opposes a;
strongly as it knows how the principle
of negro suffrage; is in favor of paying
the bonds in greenbacks; than ks the sol
diers; and winds up by stating that the
party do not desire the re-establishment
i of slavery, and have no idea that the
Government should assume the rebe
Idebt. The issues are elssr-cut palpa'

From Columbus,


A. private letter. from Hon. Homer
Everett, State Senator, informs us' thai
the subjects of finances, national debt,
taxation, etc, were pretty fully, discus
sed by the Republican members Of the
Legislature in caucus, and ajoint com
mittee was appointed to consider and
report at a future meeting the course q
the party on these and kindred quss-
tons. The great diversity of views
makes these subjects quite difficult to
barmonize upon, but it is believed that
entire unanimiity may and will be re-
allied in due time. .szra5 sl at

The taVes Manned above were actual
ly paid by as stockholders of the
National BaA& The amount due to
the county, $7,s7s 20, was psid into
the treasuny, as It's books show. 'a~ 9'
The fact that the local taxes W ere IL
legally assessed for the years 1864 $40,
and conseque oily viii have to. be re-
funded, is no fault Of the National Bank
system or. OF the stoekboIderssa In
other States, the shares have not been
free from local taxation. The act auth
orizing National Banks provided that
the stock should be taxed in the States
like other banb stock, which was GER
taiuly just provision. Under the
laws of Ohio, bank ttock was not, at
that time. listed and taxed ike other
personal property but, by the instruc-
tons of the Auditor, National Bank
stool, was assessed as personal property
Il
and taxed as such. Some Of the banks,
believing the assessment illegal, re-
fused to pay, the case went al last to
Che Supreme Court, and the tax was
decided unlawful. 1t was not in the
least a party matter but mere ques-
tien of law. As soon as this decision
was given the Republican Legislature
proceeded to set the matter right by
passing law, providing that bank
shares should be listed and taxed with
other personal property, and now the
stockholder pays his percentage on the
full valuation Of his shares, willis the
real estate owner lists in his property
at one-half or one-third its real value
and pays tax accordingly. Now as
the local taxes Oh these shares had been
illegally collected the amount could be
recovered in law. The State therefore
adopted this simple plan. The tax pay
Ter, from whom these illegal taxes have
been collected, is furnished with orders
which pay taxes until the amount due
him has been cancelled.
The privileges enjoyed by National
Banks are not SO valuable as is general
ly supposed. Their bonds on deposit
pay no better than the bonds held by
other men. The government tax on
the business and circulation, which is
always ten per cent less than the CAPT
tai stock, was equal in 1857 to two and
a half per cent. of the whole capital.
In this city the local tax is nearly
three pei, cent, making total of five
IaDd a half per cent. for yearly taxes, to
ioffset the six per cent interest the bank
is allowed to, charge, for loans A

proprietor of the Messenger values his
Office at half the lmoney drawn yeally
from the County for official advertising
and job work, and pays really a tax Of
one per cent. or less on the cash value
o.. his property. sqr sr aglsa
We are not convinced that the Ma
tional Bank system is perfect but We
know that it is by far the best we have
t ever had, and that the hue and cry
abount "no taxation" is simply Demo
f; cratic twsddle.
