WHAT 1T COSTS TO RUN OHIO
COUNTY.

The Finance Committee of the Board
Of Commissioners of Ohio county have
prepared their statement for the last fs-
cal year, ending the first day OF June
last, of the money received and paid out
by their order during that time. The
The amount received ioots up over one
hundred thousand dollars (SlOO,l95.l0,
and was received from tax levies OF va
rious forms. Among the items is one OF
$8,l37.37 of back taxes Of Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, but the balance of the
hundred thousand dollars is mainly from
regular tax levies for 1876.
The disbursements foot up one hundred
and SIX thousand three hundred and
eighty-seven (slO6,as7, dollsrs-be-
ing $6,l9l.ss in excess of the receipts.
Of this sum, SIC, 0,924.94 was expended for
the care of the poor; sl,sl9 90 for as.
sessing the property; sS,2O8!s5 for col.
lecting tho taxes. 1t cost s4,0l5,75 to
run the court house and Jail. The ex-
penses Of elections in that year were
$964.5O; and 81 1,965.s4 were paid as in
terest on money borrowed and dishonored
orders. Under the head Of per diem
allowance is an item OF s5l4.0O, which
we suppose is to cover the amount
which the commissioners put In
their own pockets, but they were
too modest to say so. The Pitts
burgh, Wheeling and Kentucky
railroad comes in for $22, ,S45. Is, and
the county roads and bridges for S2a'-
s7l.O5 mors-both pretty stiff items.
Salaries" foot up $Sl70.63, but "salaries"
of whom or what, the Finance Commit
tee don't deem it worth the while to say.
The county paid the city for water the
comfortable sum Of 5000. which ought to
be sufficient to establish its reputation IS
9 "cold water" county. Ohio county has
still outstanding OF its original subacrip-
tloa of $4,000 to the Pittsburgh,
Wheeling and Kentucky railroad, bonds
amounting to $lS3,0OO-there having
been paid $4,000.
In our complex system Of government
IL costs q GOOD deal to be governed, We |
have the city government, with its mani
fold expenses; then county government,
the cost of which is figured above; next
State, and then United States govern
ment. Aside from these we have local
and general school taxes, which, when
added to the other taxes, foot up quite
an aggregate.

Messrs. Butler, Whyte and Hoar, who
would have voted yes, were paired with
Patterson, Cockrell and Harris, who
would have voted in the negative.
The question then recurred on the
amendment OF Mr.. Morrill, submitted on
the 10th inst, TO the effect that it would
be detrimental to the economical inte-
rests OF the government and people to
pay the bonds in silver, and Mr.. Morrill,
spoke in support thereof.
The amendment OF Mr.. Morrill, was
rejected. Yeas, IA; nays, Al.
The question then required on the
amendment of Mr.. Chsfiee submitted on
the 18th of December, which, after ex-
planstlon by Mr.. ChstiCe, was with
drawn.
Mr.. Window said he voted for the
amendment of the Senstor from New
York [Conklingl to make this q joint res
olution, and he voted against all other
amendments. lie now intended 10 vote
against the original resolution, and IN
doing so, did not propose TO indicate
what would be his vote on the silver bill
when it should come before the Senate.
He was opposed to this fruitless express
sion of opinion. II Congress had con-
fined itself to practical legislation instead
OF discussing finance, the business Of the
country would have been more prosper
Gus.
Mr.. Edmunds moved to indefinitely
postpone further consideration of the req
olution.
Mr.. Gordon said he would vote for the
preamble and resolutions o! the Senator
from Ohio, because he believed the re-
citsl of the facts contained therein was
true, and the resolutions suggested
policy which ho believed TO be honest,
wise and just.
Mr.. Paddock said he would vote for
the full remonetlZation OF silver, but
would not vote for this resolution now
before the silver bill became a law.

LUTON.
The Vote 43 TO ao-The silver Bill
Next I'm Order.
WASHINGTON, January 25.


The bill to remit taxes on insolvent
savings banks was discussed briefly and
postponed until tomorrow.
After the postponement of the bill TO
remit the taxes Oh insolvent savings
banks, Mr.. Rollins submitted the follow
ing as an additional section: That in
making further collections OF internal
revenue taxes on bank deposits, no saw
ings bank recognized by the laws Of its
State, and having no capital stock, shall,
on account of its mercantile or business
deposits, heretofore received, and upon
which no interest has been allowed, be
denied the exemption allowing to savings
banks having no capital stock and doing
no other business than receiving depos-
its to be loaned for the benefit OF the
parties making the deposits, without
profit or compensation 10 the banks, if
such taxes paid be the lawful tax on the
entire average amount of such business
or mercantile deposits. Nothing in this
section shall be construed as extending
to deposits hereafter to be made, or in
any wsy to effect the liability of such
deposits to Taxation.
Mr.. Rollins, in explanation of this
amendment, said that the government
would suffer no loss Whatever should the
amendment be agreed to. 1t had been
prepared at the internal revenue office
and sent TO him.
Mr.. Harris presented petition OF the
distlllers of Tennessee in favor of re-.
duction of tax on whisky to fifty cents
per gallon. Referred,
Mr.. Blaine said that few days since he
introduced bill for the reconciliation
of silver. He had purposely left out the
number of grains IN the dollar blank, as
he had not felt willing to vote
for 4l21 grains. He would move
to fill the blank at some future day.
Meanwhile by some blunder he had been
credited with the brilliant conception of
leaving the number OF grains to be de-
termined by the Director Of the Mint
and the Secretary OF the Treasury. What
he had left 10 those officers was the right
to fix the price of silver bullion per
standard ounce as nearly as possible at
the market rate, and this he conceived
to be the best regulation on the subject.
He moved that the bill be reprinted, so
that its provisions in this respect might
be correctly stated. SO ordered.
A bill directing the Secretary ofth
Treasury to cause the Custom House at
Memphis TO be CONSTRUCTED of Tennessee
marble, was passed.
At the expiration OF the morning
hour, consideration was resumed of
the resolution OF Mr.. Matthews, declsr-
ing the right of the Government to pay
the bonds in silver. The amendment of
Mr.. Conkling making the resolution
jointinstead of concurrent one, was re.
jected. Yeas. %; nays, 38.

Mr. Thurman hoped that his colleague

Correspondence OF the Register.
MARIETTA, January %, 1878.
Some of US, who have seen your paper,
have been much interested IN the letters
of your Parkersburg correspondent. His
report of the revival there, graphic as
it is, is less so than are the accounts
which we receive here, only twelve miles
away. 1t is thought the number of them
who have, il Is hoped, found Christ will
reach 1000. And now, can you give q
little space that your readers may know,
that God has blessed US here through Mr..
Hammond's lsbors? Our city hall for
nearly two weeks has been crowded every
night with an audience Of fifteen
hundred, or over. Last evening
from four to five hundred rose, either for
the prayers of Gods people, or to ex-
press their new found hopes. Hundreds
who seldom or never entered church
have heard the Gospel faithfully
preached. The work has reached our
College also. The Faculty and Chris
tian students are deeply interested, and
hlTcduy SOou uuuuoi hafo Sfon
themselves TO Jesus, thoug n with them
the work has just commenced. This af-
ternoon, in the College chapel, a meeting
Of great interest was held, and hearts
were made glad, and tears were shed,
when many young men blessed God for
their salvation, or confessed q faulty
Christian life in the past, and promised
better things for the future. Only recent
ly the students have returned from their
vacation, and we rejoice that they can
find many believers in our churches
ready 10 receive them
All the pastors of the Evangelical
churches are thoroughly united in this
work. There is little excitement, as that
word is usually understood in connec.
ton with continued meetings. Christ
seems to be accepted in a deliberate e1-
ercise of the will. And not only is our
city interested, but as well the surround
ing country.
Pleasant experience could be reported,
but this letter is now too long, and SIM
liar experiences have been given by your
corr espondent at Parkersburg.

It looks as if immediate peace In
