This table shows that the aggregate
value Of 1872is ninety-four cents below
that of 1871. These facts will, we Judge,
convince the members of the Legislature
that a very radical change is needed in
the manner Of ascertaining the amount
of property subject to taxation, and as
sessing its taxable value. The revenue
laws should be so framed as to secure a
fair valuation of all the lands in the
State, which would largely increase the
revenue. The evils we have pointed out
should remedied, and it lies with the
Legislature to apply the remedy.

A VENERABLE gentleman who attain

to the circumstance that his constitution
was naturally so delicate that he was
unable to violate any law of health with
out feeling the effect at once. He was
obliged to pay the penalty Immediately.
This made him very careful. In youth
he was so feeble that be would gladly

Although the principal speakers, writers, politicians and thinkers of the country, are now employed in discussing the confound-d Indian question, which discussion is fast leading the country to a correct understand ing of said question and to dislike of the Quaker policy, that has brought so much trouble, loss of life, property and self-respect to the Republic, worthless oily gammons like Gen. 0. o. Howard have the audacity to press their destructive policy upon the Gov ernment, upon the score of economy and justice" to savsges who know as little about justice as do Howard X Co. about the monstrous savages who-through love of gain they are championing.

 We have before us the report of last meet ing of the so-called Peace Commissioners, and were it not that we know those who there spoke their pieces, to be money grab bers and plunderers of Government, people and Indians, we should look upon them as crazy fanatics. The report is quite lengthy, and cannot be handled in this issue of the MINER. All that we can now say of it is that 1t IS insulting to the people of the West and entirely devoid of truth.

 They talk, glibly, of having averted war in Arizona and elsewhere, yet their agents are everywhere robbing the Indian and, by so doing, gradually driving them into war.

 The more we ponder on the Indian situa. tion, the more impressed arc we with the be- lief that the Army is the proper power to deal with reGellious savages, on and of res eryations.

In view Of the fearful evils Of In.
temperance, the most fruitful source
Of domestic wretehedness, pauperism
and crime in our county, this meeting
has believed it to be our incumbent
duty to memorialize your Convention
on this important subject; on behalf
of suffering humanity, and the moral,
religious and financial interests oi
the State.


Itcannot be denied that dram shops
are the nurseries Of dissipation and
vice. and the use Of strong drink gives
to communities social disorder and
moral degradation, and is destructive
to the bodies and souls Of men.


Therefore, we cannot conceive OF
any form of ncese or regulation that
legalizes or permits the liquor traffic,
that will relieve our. ur.community of in
temperance and its domoralizing in
huence-or that is in harmony with
the Divine law, which is the basis Of
civil government; the object Of which
according to the preamble Of the ma
tional Constitution Is to establish
justice, insure domestic tranquility,
provide for the common defence, and
promote the general welfare Of the
people.


Now, 1t must be apparent to all that it
cannot infringe upon the rights Of our
citizens to suppress the manufacture
and sale of any article, the use Of
which is productive of evil, and that
burdens the community with suffer-
ing and taxation. and destroys human
life; as it is q universal acknowledge
ed maxim of the law, that no man
has a right to use his own to the iDju-
~ of others.


And if the States have the right to
regulate or restrain the sale, on GER
tain days and occasions, which they
now exercise, they have the same
right and power to prohibit entirely.


In consideration Of which, this
would respectfully ask your
Convention, to so consult the best
interests Of the people, as to incOrpor-
ate in the amended Constitution,
clause that will prohibit, as crime, the
importation and sale of
all intoxicating beverages, including
malt and fermented liquors, within
the State of Ohio.


Signed on behalf Of said Represen.
