VALUATION OF PROPERTY.

The valuation of the property of
the people of the State upon the
grand duplicate is 81, 1873, ,754,879 90
being an increase of $32, ,545,85S 90
upon the valuation Of last year
This increase is, in a very great
measure, owing to the increased ac-
curacy and care in the administra-
ton of the laws, and the growing
familiarity Of local boards Of equal
ization with their duties under the
statutes.

PUBLIC DEBT.

The Commissioners of the sink
ing Fund have, during the year,
paid 1882, ,S26 So Of the funded debt
of the State, leaving out standing
$I1 ,O31,941 55, The question Of
providing for the instalments to be
paid during the next three years,
will be before you, The present
rate of levy will not be quite sufii-
cient for the purpose, about $780,
900 being required in addition to
what will be raised thereby, The
recommendation of the Auditor OF
State, that a brief loan be made for
the purpose, is supported by the
fact that it is very probable that the
present rate of taxation, without
increase, would, in a very short pc
riod, pay both the succeeding in
stalments of the debt and the loan
thus raised the expenditures of the
Treasury being exceptionally large
at this time, by reason of the erec-
ton and enlargement ofBenevolent
Institutions, and the necessity of
refunding to the National Banks
taxes which have been adiudged by
the courts to have been unlawfully
collected. | therefore concur in
the Auditors recommendation.
TRANSFER OF BALANCES IN THE TREAS
URY.
BY a provision of the annual ap-
bill of last year the Au-
ditor was authorized to transfer,
temporarily, balances of various
funds to the Sinking Fund, and to
pay Herewith portions of the debt
of the State, thereby stopping inter
est thereon. The expectations of
from this statute have
been realized without any practical
detriment to the business of the
and by this means saw

ANNUAL MESSAGE
--OF-
The Governor of Ohio,
TO THE
Fifty Eighth General Assembly,
At the Session Commencing
January 9th, 1868.
uAL MESSAGE

Fellow Citizens Of the General As
Sembly:
1t is made my duty by the Con
stitution to lay before you the Cen
eral condition of the affairs of the
State in the several departments Of
the government, and to suggest
such legislation as may seem expe-
dent in view Of such condition. l
shall endeavor to perform this duty
as briefly as clear statement of our
affairs will permit, and shall avoid
the discussion Of all questions not
directly growing out of the admin
istration of the State Government.
FINANCES.
The reduction in the burdens of
taxation, of which the estimate was
presented in my last message, was
carried into effect under the legisla-
ton Of last winter, making a saving
of three millions of dollars to the
people, This was mainly in con
sequence of the cessation of the eX-
traordinary expenditures belong
ing to state of war, and the re-
sumption of the ordinary routine of
peaceful life,
RECEIPTS.
The balance in the Treasury on
the 18th of November, 1866, was
81, ,021, ,251 68; the receipts during
the last fiscal year were $5,l55, ,7O5
As; making the total amount of
funds in the Treasury during the
year, $6,176,955 Is.
DISBURSEMENTS.
The disbursements during the
year have been $5, ,498, ,964 81, which
amount has been paid out from the

New YORK Items.

The excitement among Democrats has
partially subsidized, but there is still much
talk around the hotels and club rooms, as
we'll as among denizens of Bowery and
Water streets. Several of Seymonr's friends
in the Fourth Ward discussed politics last
night SO effectually as to break the heads
of two, and cash the cheek Of another
The Sunday MeTehTy, says the World,
has always been hindrance to the party
on account of its attacks on Grant, and saws
Ohio has done worse than any other State.
II thinks Pendleton is shelved forever, and
that his inordinate ambition prevented
Chase's nomination, which the Mercury ad-
yocated originally. 1t recommends Sey-
mour and Blair to resign, and that the
National Committee be assembled to nomi-
nate Chase and Hancock, who might stand
chance Of election. ti4
Wall street men discussed the political
situation yeste- Jay in the Intervals OF bust
ness. The Democratic portion consider
the case hopeless and say they had better
turn their attention to something else than
to changing candidates aud raising a row
generally. $40 bonds have advanced
nearly three per cent since Wednesday and
the demand has not been equaled since last
June. Very large orders were received
from Europe, and good many Democratic
capitalists have been purchasing on private
account All Government bonds shared
this feeling of buoyancy and confidence
aud the eject was extended to railway and
other popular stocks. Central and Union
Pacthca were IN special demand.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-10-24

Examination of the returns from Indiana
make it perfectly evident that the Demo.
cratic plan of colonizing voters IRON Ken
lucky has been carried out with considera-
BILE success, and that the State, with an
honest Republican majority of several
thousand, narrowly escaped capture by
these imitators Of John Morgan's raid
Take Fulton county for example; the vote
in 1866 was 1870 Republican and 1886
Democratic, majority Sc. Now it re-
ports 1000 Democratic majority. a
gain larger than the whole vote of either
party. Floyd county, in 1866, polled 1865
Republican and 1886 Democratic votes. Il
now reports 1246 Democratic maJority-a
gain Of seven hundred. Dearborn gives
one thousand majority, and two years ago
it gave six hundred; Clark reports 1880,
and in 1865 it had only six or seven hun
dred; Owen reports $40, and two years ago
the vote stood 144l to 1929; and there are
many Others which show gains
equally impossible. For, with the
Republican vote in these counties
actually increased, and with the fact that
no considerable immigration has existed to
affect the vote, such gains as these are
simply impossible-n0 sane man can be-
lieve that they are actual and honest gains.
The evident truth is that hundreds of Ken
tuckians voted in each of these Democratic
counties, and the only wonder is that the
thousands Of illegal votes thus polled were
not enough to overcome the majority In
State usually Closes. Louis Democrat.
