Of His Message to the Ohio Leglsla.
turs-EysrThinu Reported TO be
10 Apple.ple Order.

COLUMBUS, January J.-Gov. Bishops
annual message was submitted to the
General Assembly to-day. From it the
following facts and figures are obtained:
The public debts OF Ohio aggregate S59,.
257, 900 Of which amount $4l, ,40O,572 are
local debts contracted by counties, town
ships and villages. The taxes collected
during past year aggregate $2S,550.IG5 Of
which S2l ,S2S.000 were for county and
local taxes. The public works are re-
ported in excellent condition and asonrce
Of revenue to the State. The gross earn
ings for tolls, fines and water rents for the
past year amounted to S2l9, l40, and the
expenses were $751;
The Governor declares that 1t is no
longer question that these works under
State management are self.sustaining and
worthy OF the fostering care OF the AS.
sembly. Attention is called to the great
Improvement in the State National Guard,
and Recommendation is made that the
present plan OF consolidation should be
continued. The benevolent institutions
are reported in excellent condition, and
recommendation is made that u retorlna.
tory prison be erected; that district
workhouses should be provided, and that
in case children's homes are not provided
in all the counties. by given time,
that each county thus derelect III
this shall be required to send all
children remaining in county inlirmaries
to the nearest childrens' home; also that
an additional asylum be built for the care
OF insane criminals and epiliptic insane.
Special attention is called TO the excellent
condition OF the pcnitentiary, and the ab.
clifton OF extreme punishments, inclu-
ding the "ducking tub, Dungeon" aud
"Thumbscrew." The Governor insists
that with decrease of punishment, good
order, discipline and health has increased
among the conyicts. The State Universi.
ty now has pupils from 90 counties, and
is commended as worthy Of further care.
The message urges the importance Of
granting additional powers to the State
Insurance Commissioner, so as to allow
him to decide as 10 the soundness OF fire
insurance companies, doing business in
Ohio.
The Legislature is called upon to pass
law providing for boards OF arbitration as
The best method TO prevent strikes among
Iaboring men, and also laws to prevent in
persons from running station
ary engines. Attention is called to the
decrease Of railroad debts during the past
year, owing to increased traffic. The sug-
gestion is made that, in view Of the recent
revision OF tho statutes, that but few laws
should be pasted this winter, and none to
lake effect at bnce. Tho message closes
BY recommending the bringing Of all pos.
sible influence to bear upon Congress to
secure the improvement Of the Ohio
River; the desirabilty that the Legislature
should provide for further geographical
survey OF the Ohio mineral fields; that
renewed liberality should bcshown to the
public schools and appropriation made for
the erection OF an executive mansion.

EGYPT.

CAlRo, December 5.-At an interview
with the Khedive Of Egypt, mentioned on
the 3rd inst, Gordon Pasha said, the King
Of Abyssinia hated and was hated by all
who came In contact with him. Abyssinia,
he said, was surrounded on oil sides by
discontented tribes, and rulers to the east
ward. King Mcneleck, Of Shoa, was Sc.
cretly opposing King John, but was
afraid to show open hostility; and in other
quarters six or more chiefs were in actual
revolt. Placed in this position, Abyssinia
could not attack Egypt, il the Khedive
would supply the malcontent tribes with
arms, the second son OF late King Theo-
dore would soon be placed on his fathers
throne. King John now regretted his ex.
orbitant demand. The report that Mail
Ayoub Pasha has been appointed Cover
nor. General OF Soudon, is untrue.

FOREIGN NEWS.
FAILURE OF ENGLIsm CRors.

LONDON, January 5.-The Mark Lane
Express says: The annual crop returns
from 44O correspondents, representing
every county in England, fully confirm
the worst accounts regarding the serious
failure OF the crops. The Express says the
returns are the most discouraging ever
published. OF four hundred and twenty
nine districts from which returns were
collected, not one has produced wheat
or pea crop OF over the average. Only
two represent barley crop and only six
a bean crop as over the average. Oats
is the only crop that is not thoroughly
bad. An examination ot ten years tables
will show that we have had worse
oat crops and as bad bean crop; but for
wheat, barley and peas there has been no
year OF the ten, and We might go further
back, nearly so uniruitful. Even with re-
spect to oats and beans, II weight and quail
ity be taken into account, no year OF the
ten has given such bad results. AS to
wheat, the disastrous failure OF the crop is
most strikingly shown by the fact that
only fourout OF the 420 returns represent
it as up to the average. The remarks OF our
correspondents as to the condition OF
grain and pulse are as disheartening as
the accounts OF the yield.

MoUNDsviLLE, January 8.

MoUNDsvfLLE, January b.
Editors Inteliigeneer.
The observance OF the week OF prayer
will be general in the different churches
in our place.
At the NJ. E. Church, Rev. Fullerton
preached both morning and evening from
the words, "There is therefore no condem'
nation to them which are in Christ Jesus,
who walk not after the flesh, but after the
spirit" Communion services were held
in the morning aud in the evening, there
were three accessions to the Church.
The public school opened again to-day,
after enjoying a good long vacation, with
something OF an increase in the attend
ance.' The colored school began operations
to-day also.
To-day has been very dark and gloomy.
The rain fall has been continuous, and We
are expecting greater rise in the river
than we have yet had. This becomes just
now matter OF deep interest to those OF
our inhabitants who five below high water
mark, and this includes quite number in
the Lower Ward. The only satisfaction
they have in the matter is, that the news
from above generally gives them time to
prepare for the worst.
The wet weather renders some OF our
streets almost impossible, and some need
the attention OF the proper authorities on
account OF the wash, while in others the
mud is so deep that travel will have to be
suspended soon unless the weather
changes. While our streets are in this
condition we hear much talk about Nc.
Adamizing, laying oepavement, &c., but
when the dry weather comes, or ratherthe
wet weather ceases, our streets dry so
quickly that we soon forget all about the
much needed improvement
At the last meeting OF the Moundsville
Lodge X. OF H., the following officers
were installed, viz: L. d. Purdy, p. D. (;
w. W. Evans, D.; Oscar Wright, Y. D.; ].
w. Lowe, A. D.; J. L. Hooton, I. R.; A.
o. Baker, R.; A. ]. Martin. T.; Bruce
Wade, Guide, James Laing, Guardian,
and Thos. Lowe, Sentinel.
A grand supper is to be given by this
lodge on the evening OF the third auniyer-
sary OF its organization Tuesday evening
oil next week. An enjoyable time will no
doubt be experienced.

The next lecture in the Presbyterian
course will be delivered in that church to.
morrow evening by Rev. Mr.. Dundas, oil
Ohio. The subject Is "Defects in Our
Modern system Of Education" This at
least contains the substance OF the lecture.
1t will no doubt be replete with good

Court could make an order that would
bind It's successors in office from disposiug
otthc property as they saw ct. Such a
provision, to be binding, would have to be
part Of the original contract under
which the county acquired the grounds. in
order to be perpetual.
There Is only one method, so far as We
are informed, by which the action OF the
Board Of Commissioners can be restrained,
and that is by ali injunction, sued out by
one or more citizens and tax payers, on
the ground that the value and and safety
Of the property is being injured by the
action OF the Board. We presume that at
least a temporary injunction restrainingthe
Board until the matter could be properly
Investigated, could be obtained by a petit
ton to Judge Melvin.
