Ar the organization of the House,
on Monday, the Hamilton Delega-
ton demonstrated the amount OF
reliance that might be placed upon
them by choosing one of their mum
Der speaker, one Cunningham. They
demanded of Mr.. Dennis of Cuyho-
"a, as their price Of supporting him,
that he should give the Democracy
half the Committees, and the Com
lnittees on fees, salaries and corpo-
rations to Hamilton County. To the
honor ofAIr. Dennis, be it said, he
refused such bargain and sale, and
the '.reformers" Of Cincinnati, went
for one of their own number. The
Republicans Of Hamilton county.
who gave their votes to these men,
under the expectation that they were
reliable, can now see how much they
gained by defeating the regular can
didates.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

Our Governor is a treasure. He is
in the habit of saying what he means
directly, and without circumlocution.
Hence his messages are short, bust
ness like documents, easily under
stood. His suggestions are practical
and pointed, and especially so when
discussing our State finances, in
which are embraced debt and taxa
tion. State taxes are not heavy, but
local taxation has become IN enor-
nous burden under which the people
groan. The Governor suggests a
remedy and the Legislature would do
well to act upon his suggestions
His suggestions as to State Charities
will commend themselves to the
people, and in fact his entire message
will be read with interest and prove
acceptable.

FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT.
The most important measure which
iit will be your duty to consider at
your present session, is the proposed
amendement to the constitution of
the United States. l do not feel
called upon to discuss its merits.
The great body of that part of the
people of Ohio who sustained the
laws for the reconstruction of the
states lately in rebellion believe that
the fifteenth amendment is Just and
wise. Many other citizens who
would not support the amendment if
it was presented as the inauguration
of new policy, in view of the fact
that impartial suffrage is already es-
tablished in the states most largely
interested in the question, now re-
gard the amendment as the best
mode Of getting rid of a controversy
which ought no longer to remain un.
settled. Believing that the measure
is right, and that the people of Ohio
approve it, l earnestly recommend
the ratification of the fifteenth
amendment to the constitution of
the United States. R. B. HAYES.

Grx. Garfield has been building
himself a house in Washington City
This fact was seized upon by Demo
cratic scribblers, ana made the sub
iect for malicious SANDERS against
the General. The E1,Qlarer and
PlaindeoJer joined in the slang, and
heaped vituperation upon his head.
But it turns out that instead of the
house costing $4,000 (the result Of
corruption as his maligDers assert
ed, J it costs but $lI,S50, Of which
amount he still owes $4,000, and
that is the whole story, and don't in
dicatc that his hands have touched
a bribe. How naturally those fell

THE CHRONIC INSANE.
-. Il - 49,,

During the last year more than
nine hundred persons, classed as in
curably insane, have been confined
in the county infrmaries and almost
one hundred have been confined in
rhe county jails. Besides these, a
large number Of she same class OF
nniortunates have been taken care
Of by relatives or friends. The state
should no longer postpone making
suitable provision for these unfortu-
nate people. The treatment they re-
ceiye in the infirmaries and iails is
always, of necessity. unsuited to
their condition, and is often stroci
ous. TO provide for them, l would
not recommend an increase of the
number of asylums for the insane.
It is believed by those best acquaint-
ed with the subject, that both econo-
my and the welfare Of the patients
require that the chronic insane
should be provided for by additions
