E1feSsTS. Editors: I noticed in your
Gazette three weeks ago an article in
the local column, with . down below
1t, which I suppose means, you didn't
write it. I'm glad you didn't, for 3 : =
oug ht to shine, and they only do that
when they throw out light and not dark
ness over the world. Having some
property to insure, of course I want to
get nv policies where / can do so as
cheapIy as possible and have good Sc
curity. Several times lately, two or
three parties, nearly strangers to me,
have urged me to give them a promise
to help start a Mutual Note Ius. Co. in
our town, and felt strongly inclined
to go in, on their earnest promises of
my being able to save money. But be
fore did so, [ concluded that as did
mt know much about insurance, /
would examine into the facts a IiItle.-
The statements which made in his ar
tiele astOniShed me- Can it be true I
Quaried, that we of the west are really
paying out so much every wear, and
getting SO httle? So + asked a neigh
Dor about iit-and he Winked and said
HDon't be caught now vii b 3chRf," and
then he told me that could find out at
the Auditors officeal about it, for In
surance agents had to swear every year
to how much they received for premi-
ums. So went there, and found that
the whole amount that all the Agents
year, inst cad of over $50, 100000! And
/ found that these Eastern Insurance
Companies had paid into cur County
Treasury So, 2,322.37 for taxes, of which
amount the Etna of Hartford has paid
SIG. .S6 as her share. 5
By the way, I found too, the AGtua
received for lastyear a little over 900 |
from our property owners, and paid |
back to unfortunate parties whose prop |
erty was burned up during the same |
year-Ioss on fifteen Policies amounting |
To about SI1 GOO.OO. One Agent |
in Delaware has paid hack to his Policy /
holders for losses in lS68-for fire losses |
S12,621. 50 and on Life Policies over
IS, 10000 making a total of over $50, ,72I. 81 I
paid back to Delaware people from one /
Agency office alone, by these Eastern 1
Insurance Companies. Another Agent !
l find has paid over S., 900 for losses, an
other one 81 800 and other Agents diff
ierent sums. l don't suppose 1 have got (
near all the losses paid in 1868 yet, but.
| made enquiries enough to get the
Items for cash paid for losses in 1865 to
our citizens, by these same grinding
high rates Eastern Companies to the
amount of $31 ,540.14l Does THAT look
like $4,000 per year for losses? Who be-
ieves that all the entire County aid
half as much for insurance last wear, as

The Republican state Central Com
nlittee had a meeting at the capital on
Wednesday, of last week, at which it
was resolved to, hold the next State
Convention at Columbus on Wednes-
day, June 23d. The committee. was
handsomely complimented for their
energy and labOrs during the State and
Presidential campaigns Of 1858. a re-
port on the financial condition of the
committee showed that the expenses
of the campaign had all been paid, and
that there is now handsome sum in
the treasury The following resolution
was unanimously adopted -
tWHEREAs, The political campaigns
of 1868 resulted so gloriouslyz in the
vindication triumph of Republican
principles in Ohio, therefore,
"Re8oLUed, That much credit belongs
to the officers and members of the
State Executive Committee for their
able, skillful and judicious manage
ment of the same, and for the energy
and faithfulness manifested through
out in their discharge OF the arduOus
responsibilities intFusted tOthem, they
are entitled to the generous aeknowl-
edgments of the Republican party of
the State, and especially to the thanks
of the State Central Committee, under
whose appointment they acted"

ces which Mr.. McCulloch declared

Boutwell, shows a talent for accom-
plishing practical and beneficial results
in disregard of trouble and confusion,
which stands in striking contrast with
that of his predecessor His statement
shows a decrease Of $500, 600 in the
principal Of the debt during the month
of March.

WHY MOTT


The New York Times thinks that
clause Of the bill for sweeping re-
moval of political disabilities from the
late rebels which requires them to adj
NIT the Confederate government to
have been rebe11ioJis and treasOnable
and that they repent of all acts done to
maintain said government, cruel and
tyfahnlcal. Why cruel? Is it cruel to
request a child, as condition of for
giVeness ndconsequent restoration to
favor, tQ-adn1it its wrong doing, andr re-
pent therefor. Ifno wrong has been
done what need of forgiveness If re-
bellion is right. what necessity for a
removal of disabilities, or how can
Disabilities exist ? Is the Times will
inc fs-eicinait that the rebels have moth
ing tes9Si5ent of and that the acts of the
t'onfedaEate general and State COVER
ments were Unsuitable viii it an
sWer our question. Is there any dis
grace in admitting a wrong and con-
Tossing a sin? If the ex-rebels really
deserve restoration to their forfeited
rights under the government, viii they
not freely and willingly pass through
the door opened to them by such bill
as that proposed by the reconstruction
committee. The fact is the Times is
slightly afflicted with a species of sen
timentalism somewhat prevalent in
the Republican party, which says we
must forgive and forget, before we are
asked to.-SGndusky Register.

MR. RUKENBRoD,s REsoLUrIoN


The resolution introduced into House
yesterday by Mr.. Runkenbord of Col
umbiana, which will be found in our
Legislative proceedings, is the most
sensible resolution concerning the new
Prison and the Benevolent Institutions
which has vet seen the light in that
honorable body. The mover of this
resolution seems to have had no diff
Guilty in arriving at the sensible con-
elusion that until some provision is
made for rebuilding the Central Luna
tic Asylum, and for erecting a suitable
Institution for the blind, it is prema-
ture to proceed with the erection of a
new Penitentiary, which may not be
needed forten years to come. 1t would
be just as well perhaps to relieve the
wants of the Insane and the necessities
of the Blind, before expending a quar-
ter of a million dollars on a new Peni-
Tertiary which is about as much need
ed as new State House, or a new Can't
tOl at Westinghouse Columbus. JouT5lCtL

DISTRIBUTION OF NATIONAL
CURRENCY.


The bill for redistributing among the
/ States the privilege of issuing curren-
ey, passed by the House of Represent
atives, and now before the Senate, pro-
poses to take away 30,000,000 from GER
I tain eastern States, such as DIassachu-
setts and New York, in order to give
| it to certain western and southern
States, such as iowa and Alabama. The
| inequalities in the present distribution
are so great that the demand for
change can scarcely be resisted by
those who approve the general prinei-
pies of the National Banking law. The
only substitute seriously proposed for
the plan suggested in this bill is that
urged by some of the Boston banks,
and by many members of Congress, to
do away with the arbitrary limits of
$500, ,000, 900, within which the aggFe-
gate national currency is now restrict
ed; or at least to grant to those States
and districts which are now INSULT
GENTLY supplied, all they need, without
reducing the privileges of any others.
In readiustfng the National Banking
law, let Justice to the people, as well as
equality among the banks, be kept in
view. Every citizen ought to have an
equal right, before the law, to invest
his capital in banking, and to enjoy
any privileges attached to the business.
Congress has no right to build up a
monopoly, and grant to it valuable
powers, at the expense of the people.
If the privilege of circulating notes as
money is so precious that men viii
contend for it everywhere as a pol1ti-.
cal prize, the way to prevent an excess
of currency is not to fix an arbitrary
limit by law, but to make it pay
tribute to the, treasury, so that its
profits will not exceed fair business
average, and then the laws of trade
VIII themselves restrict its issues with
in reasonable limits.
For example, let four per cent,
bond, redeemable after forty years, be
made the only security the government
will accept for the national currency
and let the banks be required to retain
the gold paid to them as interest upon
it. until they as well as the Treasury,
shall have resumed specie payments.
Let it also be provided that the aggre-
gate interest paid by the United States
upon the bonds which secure the cur
rency shall not exceed S12,O0O,OO0, or
perhaps $4,000, 600; and that if the
bonds on deposit shall exceed the
amount which, at four per cent, will
draw this sum, the interest on the
whole shall be reduced in proportion.
Then let all restrictions upon the
amount of capital or of circulation be
removed except that the notes issued
by any bank shall never exceed the
cash value, in gold, of the bonds it has
on deposit in the Treasury.
On this plan, banking would be as
free as any other business and while /
some new capital would embark in it, |
especially in districts in which the de-
mand for currency is great, and the /
rate of interest high, yet other capital
would go out of it, finding other em- |
ployment more profitable especiallY{ {
in districts in which more currency is /
issued than can be there employed,

The Ohio Senate has adopted a resolu.
tion to submit to the people an
amendment to the constitution of the
State which proposes to abolish the
Probate Courts, and transfer their
iurisdictionto Courts of Common Pleas
to be established in each county. with
one or more judges resident therein
The amendment relieves the Su-
preme Judges from holding District
Courts and relegates them entirely to
that of holding a Supreme Court at the
capital of the State. 1t proposes to
provide a District Court by dividing
the State into fifteen Judicial districts
in each of which Judge of the Dis
trict Court shall be elected, such a
court to be held in each county, three
District Judges presiding, at least
twice in each year. The District
Judges are to be independent
of the Supreme and Common Pleas
Judges and the District Court to have
appellate jurisdiction in civil causes
originating in the Common Pleas, to-
gether with such jurisdiction as is now
vested in such court, and like. original
JURISDICTION with the Supreme Court.
Terms of the Common Pleas are to be
held at least four times,a year and these
Courts are to be open at all times for
probate business. Counties HAVING
more than 1900 inhabitants may have
more than one Common Pleas Judge,
Judges now in Office, excepting Probate
Judges, are to continue in Office, until
the expiration of their terms, Common
Pleas Judges to become Judges Of the
Common Pleas Courts for the counties
in which they resided at the time of
their election. The districts are to be
of compact territory, bounded by coun-
ty lines, and judges are to be elected
for terms of five years, the first election
of Common Pleas and District Judges
to be held on the first Monday in April,
1870. The salaries Of Judges are to be
paid Hom the treasury of the State.
