THE Cincinnati Gazette is credibly
informed that every Democratic men,
Der of the Supreme Court of Indiana is
a candidate for the United States Sena-
torship, and that the late decision
denying to colored children the
privileges of free schools, and setting
up the Constitution Of Indiana above
that of the United States, was direct
bid for the Office. The statement is
presumably correct. The party still
derives its inspiration from the Dred
Scott ruling. But if such things are
possible only month after the defeat
of the Republican party at the polls,
and before the Democracy have assu-
med their seats OF power, what may
We expect when they have had prac;i
cal control of the Government for a
year or two?-Pitts. Com.

Meeting of the Virginia Legisla-
fure-GOv. Kemper's Message.

RICHMOND, Dec. 2-The General AS
sembly..me to-day, and Gov. Kemper
submitted his annual message. He ia
vors recspitulation of the State debt in
the form of obligations payable in thir-
ty years, bearing annual interest OF
per cent sterling. A plan for providing
State currency is proposed, which
the Governor believes, would relieve
one Of the most grievOus wants of the
people He favors the completion of
the central water line by the common
government, and urges the withhold
ing of no possible aid which might con-
tribute to the consummation of that
great work. The Governor makes nu-
merouS other recommendations look
ing to economy and improvement in
the State government.
The following extracts give an idea
of the Governors views in regard to
the political situation:
Recent events create the hope that
the government of the Union is to be
brought back to the constitution, its
ancient landmarks and traditions re-
covered and respected, and fraternal
relations revived throughout the coun--
try. They cheer the oppressed and de-
pendent Southern people with the
promise that the burdens which have
so long borne them down are tob be lift
ed. The most suspicious day for the
honor and well-being of the whole
country will be that in which the great
export producing energy, by being re-
stored to their constitutional rights
and relations. We may rest assured of
success as soon as the repeal or Judicial
of all Enforcement laws
shall relieve US from harrassment and
of military and other CO.
ercion from without, and from the in
termeddling of mere political adven-
turers within. Heneeforth let it be
understood by all that the political
equality of races is settled ,aDd that the |
social equality of races is settled inn
possibility.

Cincinnati consumes about 5000, 600

of intelligence and education was ap-
pointed, who has displayed great en-
ergy in the enforcement of the act. He
has personally visited and inspected
twO-thirds OF the mines in the State;
and the good effects of the law are re-
cognized already, in improved ventila-
ton and other changes which have
conduced greatly to the comfort of the
miners. The General Assembly should
follow up its recent action by such
further legislation as may be found
necessary to the accomplishment of the
beneficial objects sought to be attained.
In the inaugural address which had
the honor to deliver before the General
Assembly, / strongly urged reduction
of the expenditures of the State Gov
errnment down to the very last dollar
compatible with the maintenance of
the public credit and the efficient work
ing of the several departments of the
Government; and L insisted that it
should not be that vague and mere
verbal economy which public men are
so ready to profess with regard to pub
lie expenditures, but that earnest and
inexOrable economy which prOclaims
its Existence by accomplished facts. In
the midst of the existing financial dis
tress, with so many of our fellow ciu-
zens out of employment, and wages
reduced, / most earnestly
renew the recommendation / then
made. The State should not embark
in new building enterprises until the
public buildings now in process of con-
struction shall have been completed;
new offices should not be created; and
your present session should be brought
to close at the earliest moment when,
in your Judgment, the public business
will allow. The evidence you gave at
your last session of a determination to
to retrench, by reducing the tax levy
e474, 600, and by other acts of legisla-
ton, has encouraged the people of the
State to believe that economy and pru-
deuce. will govern all your actions in
the matter of public expenditures.
1t is question for your serious con-
whether the compensation
)f our county officers is not dispropor-
.ionate to the salaries of other public
officers, and of persons in private life.
Public servants should be reasonably
but salaries and fees
should not be so high as to make the
getting of Office profession, and to en-
lble candidates and applicants to buy
heir way to public places.
conclude by expressing the hope
hat your session may be pleasant and
and that it may be pro-
luctive of great good to the State.

GOVERNORS MESSAGE,
To the General assembly:

Tothe General Assembly: y-- -i
Since your adjournment, the late Con-
stitutional Convention, then in session,
brought its labors to a conclusion, and
submitted the result for the ratifica-
tion of the people. Such ratificati on
was not obtained. You are assembled,
therefore, under the pre-existing Con-
stitution.
provisions in this Constitution, there is
one which deem of very special i'm
portance at the present time. 1t is the
provision that makes it not discretion
airy but imperative upon the General
Assembly 10 establish Sinking Fund
for the gradual but certain ultimate
payment of the State debt. The Con-
vention which adopted the Constitu-
ton fully realized the necessity of pro-
viding forever against the creation of
public debt of indefinite duration, SO
far as the payment of the principal of
such debt is concerned. 1t is for this
reason that ! desire to call your atten-
ton to the condition of the Sinking
Fund. t. .t
Section 5 of Article XII of the Con-
stitution provides, that "No tax shall
be levied, except in pursuance of law ;
and every law imposing tax shall
state distinctly the ct of the same,
to which only it shall be applied" In
contravention of this provision of the
Constitution, the General Assembly, at
the sessions Of 1872 and 1873, passed
acts authorizing the temporary transfer
of money from one fund to another;
and, in pursuance of these laws, large
sums were transferred from the
Sinking and Common School Funds to
the Revenue and Asylum Funds. There
still remain of these transferred funds
which have not been returned the sum
the sum of $2l, 900 due the Common
School Fund. Last winter, the Attor
ney- General, in response 10 a resolution
of the House OF Representatives, gave
an elaborate opinion respecting the
matter OF these transfers, aud declared
the laws authorizing them to be un-
constitutional. Since then the public
funds have been held sacred for the
purposes for which they were collected.
These unconstitutional acts are still
upon the statute book. and should be
Immediately repealed.
1t will be necessary for the General
Assembly. at the present session, to
make provision for the return of the
transferred funds to the Sinking Fund 4;
and to make further provision for the
payment of The interest on, and the
principal of our State debt, which fall
due in January and July, 1879, aud in
January, 1876. On the lst of January,
1876, there will be due on the princi-
pal of our debt, payable at the pleasure
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1874-12-10

of the State, the sum of 81, 494, ,S65
There will be due interest upon the
debt, including interest on the irredu-
chile debt, in January and July, 1875,
and in January, 1876, the sum of about
| 81 ,200, 900 making a total of S2,694, ,S65,
of principal and interest. To meet this,
there is present surplus in the Treas
ury OF $3.50, $50 50. The collections for
1875, which will be applied to the
Sinking Fund, as estimated, on the
making total of S1,7l2,569 81, which
will leave a deficiency to be provided
for of S9S2,296.
The principal falling due is payable
at the pleasure of the State, and it is
for you to determine whether it shall
be met when due, or paid as the sccu-
mutations in the Sinking Fund shall
warrant. But 1 would suggest that the
credit of great State, like that of an
individual, is better preserved by being
ready to pay its debts promptly at ma
turity.
The following is a brief summary of the
present financial condition of the State:
On the 10th day of November, 1873,

State was. .SS,21l, ,O62 10
