, own seeking, when you re
turned to Mr.. Ambrose's
shop, where the roll was kept,
and without the knowledge oil
Mr.. A., who had charge of the
roll, erased your name. Mr.
Ambrose soon discovered it,
and when We called in, Mr.. A.
and James w. Yeeley were dis
cussing your action and declar-
ing they would not vote for
you. You were passing at that
moment and we called you in.
You then stated that you erased
your name because it was un-
derstood that you were to take
no part in National politics,
but attend to your own elec-
tion; that you were as much in
favor of Grants re election as
was any mar In the house; that
you expected to get some
Democratic votes in jackson
and Richland, and that you
pretended to them you were
for Greeley, and that if they
found you were for Grant you
wouldn't get them. Mr.. Yeeley
replied that your action didn't
suit him; and that under the
circumstances he would not
only vote against you, but
would work against you; that
If he had voted for you at
all in the frat place it would
have been because you were a
Republican, and he preferred a
straight Democrat any time to
a man who had no political
principles or was too cowardly
or deceltful to own them. You
repeated what you had first
stated. Mr.. Yeeley replied
that your position might be
satisfactory to you, but he
wanted you to understand that
he, for one, would support no
man who tried to secure his
election by deceit. He didn't |
say that because he wished to |
coerce you, but because he
wanted you to know just why |
he worked against you.
Thereupon you again placed
your name on the roll of |
the Grant Club, without
further words, and Mr.. Y. said
that if you had there expressed
your sentiments he was pre-
pared to vote for you. That
was the end of your "protest,"
but you came up to the Record
office and repeated in sub
stance what you had said in
Mr.. Ambrose's shop-that you
we're a Grant man, expected
Democratic votes, must keep
luiet, etc.

accomplishes the object desired. A
thorough investigation of official cor
ruptiOn and crimi9ality leads with
great certainty to the needed reform.
Publicity is a great eorrectOr Of Ofi-
cial abuses. Let it, therefore, be
made'the duty Of the Governor, on
satisfactory information that the
public good requires an investigs-
tion Of the affairs of any public Of
fee or the conduct of any public Of
ficer, whether State or local, to ap-
point one or more citizens who shall
have ample powers to make such in
vestigatiOn. If, by the investiga-
tiOn, violations Of law are discover
ed, the Governor should be author
lied, in his discretion, to notify the
Atiorney-General, whose duty il
should be, on such notice, to prose
] cute the offenders. The Constitution
makes it the duty of the Governor
to "see that the laws are faithfully
executed" Some such measure as
the one here recommended is neces-
sary to give force and effect to this
constitutional provision.
CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
In compliance with the Coustitu-
ton, the last General Assembly sub
mitted to the people the question OF
holding convention 'tO revise, al
ter or amend" the Constitution /; and
at the October election a large ma.
jority of the voters of the State de-
cided in favor of a convention. II
is the duty of the General Assembly
at its present session to provide, by
law, for the election of delegates and
the assembling of the convention.
The vote on the question Of call.
ing the Convention which formed
the present Constitution was taken
at the October election, 1849. Al
the next session of the General As
sembly an act was passed which pro,
vided for the election of delegates tC
the Convention, the first Monday OI
April, 1850, and the COnvention'wai
convened on the first Monday o
May following.
In conclusion, I wish to make my
grateful Acknowledgements to the peo
pie of Ohio for the honorable trusti
they have confided in me, and to ex
press the hope that the harmony
prosperity, and happiness which they
now enjoy to such full measure may
under Providence be perpetual.

COMMON SCHOOLS.
The Report of the Commissioner
of Common Schools shows that,
upon the whole, the educational
interests of the State continue to be
very prosperous. He presents, how
ever, for your consideration, num-
Der of changes in the school laws,
which he deems essential to further
progress. The proposed reforms
are treated of in his report under
the following heads: Normal In.
struction, Supervision, A Codiica-
tion of the Laws, aud the Township
System.
The commanding position which
Ohio has held in the great trans
actions of our recent civil and mill
tary history, is largely due to the
educational advantages enjoyed by
her people. Every measure which
tends to continue and increase those
advantages, merits your earnest and
favorable consideration.
For many years the most eminent
teachers and friends of education
have urged the necessity of establish
ing institutions for the instruction
of teachers in the principles and
duties of their high and honorable
calling. A few thousand dollars Of
the school fund applied every year
to this purpose will, it is believed,
make the expenditures for school
purposes vastly more beneficial to
the State.
There are serious objections to
the present mixed system of school
management, by means of township
boards and sub-district directors
It is believed that this system ought
to give place to the purely town
ship system, in which all of the
schools of the township are under
the exclusive control of a Board Of
Education, chosen by the electors
of the township. This plan is in
conformity with that which has
been adopted with satisfactory
results in most of our towns, and is
sustained by the experience of other
States in which tho purely township
system has been tried.
In several counties of the State
colored children are practically
deprived Of the privilege of attend
ing public schools. The denial Ol
education to any citizen of Ohio is
so manifestly unjust that it is conf
IDENTIFY believed that the Legislature
needs only to be informed that such
a wrong exists to promptly provide
a remedy.

to the Auditor of Stateare imperfect,
but enough is shown to warrant the
opinion that during the past year
the indebtedness of the towns and

less than one million of dollars, and
that their aggregate indebtedness
now equals the Indebtedness of the
State. I respectfully repeat, as the
remedy for this evil, the recommend
alton heretofore made, that all pub

cases of emergency, analogous to
those specified in Sections l aud 2,

STATE WAR CLAIMS.

The report of the Adjutant-G General
shows that there has been collected
by him from the United States
during the year, on account of the
State war claim, the sum of $I45,-
3O4 60, making the total amount of
war claims collected S2,826, PAT 81.
1t is probable that about 100000
more can be collected on these claims
without additional legislation by
Congress. This will leave about
S4OO, 900 of claims unpaid, which, it
Is believed, when presented to Con-
gress, with proper vouchers and
explanations, will be provided for
by special act. AS long, however,
az the Board of Military Claims
exists, these claims will continue to
increase, and it would not be advis.
able to seek Congressional action
until hesitate, by closing its accounts
with individuals, shall be able to
ask for a final settlement.
