oHIo-GovERNoR's MESSAGE.

COLUMBUS, Jan. 3.-Gov. Hayes, in his mes
sage, submitted TO the legislature to-day, dis
cusses only local matters, and says the increase
of local taxation has been far greater than the
growth of the state in business, population or
wealth, and asks the legislature to do all in its
power to check the evil. He also thinks that the
power Of cities, counties and other local author
tiles TO create public debts opens the doors to
waStefulnesS, extravaganza and corruption. He
recommends that all state, county and munic-
lpal officers be paid fixed salaries, and not by
fees.
Classification of conyicts in the penitentiary
and other prison reforms were urged. He also
asked additional legislation to promote the in
terests of the soldiers orphans home at Xenia.

population of 0hio,-siXty-seven cities and viii
lagos having over 1900 inhabitants each,-at
697 900, an increase of 24S,096 in ten years, or
fifty-ive per cent. Ire increase in the popula-
ton of Ohio, outside of these cities and villages,
was only about 70 900 in the last decade.

mission Judge Orth will, it is said, be also APP
pointed. Secretary Creswell gave dinner this
evening to Mr.. Greeley. Senator Morton and
Others were present.
There is good deal of speculation here as to
what move will be made tomorrow in reference
to San Domingo, but it is more than probable
that nothing whatever will be attempted until
later in the week, Gen Butler is in New York
He will not return until tomorrow night, and it
is hardly probable that anything will be done in
his absence. SAM WELLER.

A WHITE Mas TURNING BLACK
The San Francisco Er0min,r says a
gentleman Of that city, about twenty
five years of age, ruddy complexion and
curly red hair, who had an intract-
able and painful ulcer on the left arm,
resisting all previous modes of treat
ment, yielded to the request OF trying
the effect Of transplanting piece Of
skin to the ulcer from another person
The ulcer was prepared in the usual
manner 10y his physician. and a bit OF
skin about an inch sIusre was taken
from the arm OF fine healthy negro
man ard Immediately spread over the
ugly ulcer, and then carefully dressed
and bandagcd. The skin trsnsplanta
ton had tie desired effect Healthy
granuIstion sprang up, and the insight
" ulcer soon healed y few months
afterwards he went 10 his physician and
told him that ever since the sore healed
the black skin commenced TO spread,
and it was increasing. About one-third
of his arm was completely Degroed.
The doctor himself IS alarmed. The
high probability is that the whole skin
of this white man will become black.
This is new thing under the sun. 1t
would be rather difficult to explain the
physiological process which takes place
to bring aboat such . skin change as
this The problem IS. how can the col
oring matter Of the skin be 80 radically
changedi And how IS this pigment
change propaga,ed 1t Is certain that
the law of capillary attraction plays no
insignifcan, part in the spreadingprocess.
