FIFrnENTH AMENDMnNT.

The most important measure which
it Will be your duty to consider at your
present session, is the proposed
amendment to the Constitution Of the
United States. I do not feel called
upon to discuss its merits. The great
body of that part of the people of Ohio
who sustain the laws for the recon-
strqction Of the States lately in rebel
lion believe that the Fifteenth Amend
ment is Just and wise. Many other
citizens, who would not support the
amendment If it. was presen ed as the
Inauguration of a new policy, in view
of the fact thai impartial suffrage is al +
ready established in the States most
largely interes ed in The question, now
regard he amendmen' as he bes mode
of getting rid of "a controversy which
ought no longer to remain unsettled.
Believing thHt The measure is right,
and that the people of Ohio approve it,

The Agricultural and Mechanical
College Fund, created by the sale of
land scrip, issued to Ohio by the Ma
tionaI Government, amounted, on the
Ist instant. to S4O4, ,91E 37I<. The State
accepted the grant, out OF which this
fund has been created, February TO,
1864, and is bound, bv the terms of ac-
ceptance as modified by Congress, to
provide mot less than one college on
or before J July 2, 1872, where the lead
ing object shall be, without excluding
other scientific and classical studies.
and including military tactics, to teach
such branch es- of learning as are re-
lated to agriculture and the mechanical
arts y The manner in which this fund
shall be disposed of has been amply
considered by preceding General As
sem blies, and In the messages of my
predecessors in the Executive Office. I
respectfully urge that such astiOn be
had as will render this fund available
for the important purposes for which
it was granted.
1t is not probable that further delay
viii furnish additional information on
any of the important questions in
voIved in its disposition. Much time
and attention has been given to the
subject of the location Of the college.
No doubt it viii be of great benefit to
the county in which it shall be estab-
Iished, but the main object of desire
with the people of the State can be sub
stantially accom- plished at any one of
the places which have been prominent
ly named as the site Of the College. l
therefore trust that the friends of edu-
cation viii not allow differences upon
question of comparatively small i'm

institution in compliance with the OBJ

Of. t1e Les slature 70 restrict the pow
ers q taAatlon, bofHeWing uaoney, and
the like, so as to prevent their abuse.
I espeotflily suggest-t tl8at- the present
laws coIlferring these powers on local
authorities require extensive mOdifica-
ton, in order to comply with this con-
stltutlonal provision. Two modes of
limiting these powers have the sane
ton Of Zperienee. An large ezpendi-
lures should meet the approval OF those
F1o are 70 bear their burden. Let all
eXtraordlnary expenditures, therefore,
be submitted to vote of the people,
and no tax be levied unless approved
by a ma5oritysof all the voters of the
locality to be affected by. the tax, at a
special eleetiOn-the mum Der. of voters
20 be ascertained- by reference to. the
votes cast at the States election next
preceding such special election. An
other modesIs to limit the rate of taxa
amount Of debt (which may be fn-
curreds &c has been said that with
such restrictions upon the powers of
| local authorities the legislature viii
be importuned, and IFS time wasted in
hearing applications for special legfs-
latiOn. The ready answer to all such
applications by local aathorities viii
be to refer them to their own citizens
for a-deeisiOn of the question. The fa-
eility with which affiFn1ative votes can
be obtained under the pressure often-
porary excitement, upon propositions
authorizing indebtedness, may require
further restrictions upon the power to
borrow money! 1t is, therefore, sug-
gested; for your consideration, tOhmit
the amount Of debt for a single pur-
pose, and the tOtal-amOunt for all pur-
poses, which any local authority may
contract, to q certain percentage OF the
taxapl property Of such locality.
The evils here considered are not
new. Fourteen years ago, Governor
Medill, in his animal message, used
the following language, which is as ap-
p11cabIe to county and municipal af-
fairs now as IL was when it was writ
ten: 1.-THE irrespOns1bl and extrava-
prevails in some of our counties and
cities furnishes the principal cause for
the exact1ons which are so generally
complained of. There, public contracts
are given to faYoritesl which occasion
the most lavish expenditures. There.
also, we find officers with incomes
which shock all correct ideas of 9pu bIicl
compensation These things have their
effect upon the general tone of public
morals. County reform is a duty en-
Joined by every consideration of pub
lie virtue"
The whole of this important subject
is commended to your candid eonsid-

The President Of the United States
has received a memorial from prom
inent citizens of Viotoria, in British
Columbia, asking eur government to
make endeayors for securing the anex-
alton ofthat province. The memori-
alists are said TO represent almost the
unanimous sentiment of the inhabi-
tants, to whose change Of allegiance
the British Government is said to be
favorably disposed. II is not unlikely
that the entire territory of British
Columbia will soon be annexed to the
Union.
