CUM, DS' New Merchant Tailoring Establishment, Nozi itign si de.4 Tlltl..o, V. Editor Ohio State Journal: Who pnys tlio exporiBe of keeping tip the "saloons" nnd "hells" and "dead-falls?" If the landlords nnd proprietors of them pity it, then, in litis dollar view of the question, we lmve nothing to compluin of. If the keeper of the "saloon" or "Ucnd-iull" where poor Siebold got his liquor, will pay into the county treasury the sura of S300, which is less than the three or four drams which he sold has already cost the county; as 1 have said be fore, I will overlook the fact, that those drams sent Scibold to a premature graven havo made his wife a widow and his children orphans. The accounts, however, are not valued in that way Such a settlement would exhibit a degree of honesty and integrity, not dreamed of by these violators of law. Their palriolism and ideas of right run in another direction. They appropriate to themselves the income, and very modest ly require their neighbors to pay the out-go. These shops cost us So,000 a year. What pro portion is paid hy the landlords and proprietors Let. your mind run over Hie city and country, and ascertain how very small that interest is, in pioportion (0 the whole property of the county. It is not a hundredth part, but cull it a twentieth, nnd let us then see wlut the result is. Of 1 he $.-,000, these law-breakers pny hut S2o(), leaving S-ljOOO lo be paid each year by Ihoso who follow honest nnd legal callings, for the benefit of whisky-sellers. What an iucsliinahle privilege! The tax-payers of tho county ought to enjov it I But. these landlords and renters make a profit from Ihe business, and the tax is consequently no burden to tuem at all. It is income to them, and expense to us. Let us put it in another form, for nit hough it mny be repetition, the more points from which we view this subject, the better we shall under stand it. I see by one of our city papers, that three persons were arrested nnd sent lo jail for rioting ntiottt n public house in the city nt an unrensonnb'.c hour in the morning. The cost to the county will bent least b-Al. It is ovtdcnt they were drunk, but it does not nppear whether ihey procured their liquor in Ihe -'den" of that house or in some other, and it is not material The whole alTuir was occasioned by the saloon whero they drank. Now, suppose you call on the proprietor nnd piesent your bill. In tho blandest manner you can imagine, he would re ply that he sold the liquor nnd received hi profit, but if there are any expenses to be borne, you must call on the public treasury, where sue accounts arc settled. The naked, bald fact is, that the other citizens of this county pny $5000 nnnunlly, that tho landlords and tenants ot these "liells mny realize the profits of nn illegal and corrupt traffic. One class is compelled to pay the obliga tions of anoiher. This subject is far from being exhausted. There are oilier sores which might be probed, From what has been said, it appears that the good people of Franklin county arc over-taxed ench vein- in the sum ol at least fifteen thousan dollart. It is in their power to relieve thenv selves from nil or nearly nil of it. To remedy some of the evils will require time nnd legisla tion. A large portion, however, is dependent entirely upon the notion or the tax-payers them selves, immediate action will produce immcd ate results. It therefore becomes the tax-payers lo see to it, that every officer who shall bo hereafter elected, is capable nnd honest. To see to it that every future member of the Legislature does not 'IMIE FINEST FRENCH CASSIMERES FOR I are PANTS arekentat M.-tHILDS' New Merchant Tailoring Establishment, No. 21 High St. ilec4-:!m 1 1ST RECEIVED, II V EXPRESS, A FEW MORE tJ pieces ol Canadian Grey for suits, ut M.

They amount almost to a rent on farms nnd city lots. They hnve increased rapidly of late yenrs. If they are increased much more, they will become intolerable. It appears from what has been said. that it is in the power of the public to increase or diminish them. I have heard it said that the public likes to be defrauded. I do not believe it is true. But if it sits down quietly under such grossly unjust expenditure?, and such abuses, or if it permits the cry of "school tax" to withdraw Its attention from them, it will be strong evidence or the truth of the charge. ICTUS. Roman Catholic Semlnalrle for Negroe, At Nai les a now cencnniy for young negroes was esiablisl el about a year ngo by a zealous monk, Father Ludovico. All tho inmntcs had been bought by the founder in Africa twelve at the expense of the King of Naples, and a palace had been donated for an educational establishment by a Neapolitan priest. In October, after the completion of one year's studies, an exnm- inntmn wns held in the presence of Iho Cordmal Archbishop of Naples, the pr'mo minister, nnd several ortl er (list'nguished personages, who declared themselves fully latisliud with it. The course of studies embraced the Italian, Latin, French, and Arnbic langungcs, geogrnphy, arithmetic, the elements of geometry, physios, and chemistry, and the doctrines of the Cntholio Church. The climate of Naples agrees very well with the negroes, nnd it is thcrolore Intend cd to open also a seminnry for the numerous young Heiresses whom Abbe Olivier! has been redeeming from slavery. Heretofore they have Rerlalon of the Tariff. It appears, that after all the Democratic talk about a roj-ision of the Tariff during this session of Congress, the chances of a reform to much needed are daily growing less and less. The country demands relief; but the administration party in Congress is too busily engaged In filibustering and stenling foreign territory, to attend to the necessities of home manufacturers and labor. The Washing on correspondent of the Philadelphia North Amer ican writes: The only possible hope for a modification of the Tnriff this session is through the notion of a conference commitlco in its closing hourB. Thai. Inst chnnce is despernle, nnd depends cn- nelv on the rcftisnl of the Uottso to grant a loan, except upon this express condition. Eve 1 hen there is too much reason to fcur that lh-' Senate will not yield its repugnance to a change, so obstinate is the purpose of tho democratic majority to refuse any concession on this sub ject. As tins been beloro suggested in tins cor respondence, they nro more inclined lo nnznru an extra session than to conquer their prejudices. The House is likely to stand firm, and to Insist upon provision being made to extinguish any debt that may be created. Beechcr on Pew-Renting. The pcw-renl of Plymouth Church (Mr. Bccch- er's) amounts to S25,000. The recent pttblio rental of pews in that church, has been made the occasion of somo severe comments by various pnpers. Ono of them "ennnot believe that it is right or Christian for one congregation to expend S25.000 for themselves, while many fee ble churches nro struggling for existence, and many self-denying ministers must rely on faith for tho supply of their daily bread." Mr. Bcecher replies very fully to these stric tures in the Independent : Ho assumes that the secular affairs of a church have nothing to do wilh religion, and are as purely commercial, and ns subject to right commercial laws, as is the business of a college or bank. He says: Whenever a church comes to that part of its business which is secular and requires commer cial wisdom, then it must stand, just like any other honest concern, subject to all the equitable laws of matter and money. The pews must be sold and taxed, or rented every year; and this must be done publicly, that all may havo a chance. And if tho pews aro not much sought uftcr, there will bo but little trouble or com plaint. But if the pews aro fewer than the applicants; if ten men want seats when but one can be accommodated, how are we to select which shall have them? "Shall there be a perpetual scrnmble? Then the strongest will get them. Shall they be rent ed privately? Then tho alert and shrewd will get them. Shall they be rented openly and in fair competition? Then, inevitably, they must follow the commercial law, and the man who wants them most and has the means of paying the most, must have them. "Now, it is very easy to stand off and rail. Will any one sutticest a plan by which 5,000 men enn be put into a church that will hold but 3,000? If only a part are to be accommodated, will some one tell a better method than open compe tition upon fair commercial principles? tor the secular affairs of a church are just as commer cial, and nisi as subject to right commercial laws, as is the business of a bank, a manufac tory, an academy or ctllege. In alluding to the fact thnt it is the rich who thus obtained the highest gospel privileges, Mr. Bcecher, upon the principle that it is easier for a camel to go through Ihe eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven, savs that these men, became thru art rich, need preaching more than others that they are pe- culmrly liable to self-indulgence, pride nnd hard ness of heart, and require unusual efforts to keep them in the rtghl paih. Ho ndds : "It is very easy for men 'who do not live in large cities not to believe that it is right or Christian for one congregation to expend i?2.",0 M) for themselves,' &c. If men that have monov knew what to do wilh it half as well as those do who give them advice without knowing anything about their affairs, what a thrifty world this would be! What a church spends annually great or little, according to circutnslanes. There are many country churches where 2,500 a yearwou'd be more ex ravugantthan in 01 hers would be S2o,000. Bui in this particular ense the surplus funds are employed in paving off the debts nnd mortgage which lie upon the pro perty, and we hope thnt it is not unchristian for a church to pay its honest debts. Servlee of Plate to Hon. J. R. Glddlng The Republ'can Senatots and Repteicntativcs of this Congress have opened a subscription pa per, wnicli was speeauy mica up, lor the pur pose of raising botwecn five and six hundrei dollais to purchase a magnificent service of plate, to be prescnlcd to the venerable Joshua It. uitidings, ns a testimonial ot their apprecia tion ot his public labors in the councils of tli nation. These labors have extended' th-ougli twenty years. 1 ho gift is not one of a political nature. Several "democrats" are among the subscribers, nnd others from the same party desired to contribute, but. did not wish to have their names nppear. Sn-h subscriptions were declin d, ns the names of all donors nre to be inscribed upon the plate, with a suitablo incrip- kins.

Cleveland Review. Health and Growth of I'rbana. ' As an evidence of tho general health of our town, we may state a fact which is worthy of notice: In tho PrcHby tcrian Sabbath School, containing over ono hundred scholars, there has not been a death during the past year, either among tho pupils or teachers. In this connection we cannot resist (even at the risk of offending ihe lady) relating a circumstance which happened not long since, as illtiHtrativo of the growth of our town. A married lady, who has been, a resident of the town for nioro than thirty years, and proverbial for her domestic habits, recently visiled some friends in a neighboring county. Returning home, she was landed nt the depot. In making her way up town she became bewildered, and soott found herself in a remote part of the town from her home. Taking moorings from a certain corner, she again started in pursuit of her home, but again became bewildered, and after a two hour's airing through the streets, she gave up the chase, and wns compelled to inquire the way to her residence. We learn thai the lady now moves about more than she did previous to this occurrence Who, after this, will havo tho presumption to call Urbanaa "one horso town?" Citizen $ Gazette. Suicide In Champaign County. Wc learn that Mr. Mcrricn, a farmer living near Millerslown, in this county, committed sui cide on Wednesday morning of last week, by shooting himself with a riflo in his own house. The ball ontcrcd between the eyes, and produced instant death. Mr. M. was intemperato in his habits, and hud frequently threatened to tako his lifo while under the influence of liquor. When sober, our informant says he was a good neighbor, a kind friend, and in many ways a useful citizen ; but, like too many others, he was a slave to whisky, nnd under its maddening influence, committed the rash act. God speed tho day, when men shall touch not, taste not, han dle not the unclean thing. No man can indulge 11 its use wilh safety. The deceased leaves a ife and eleven children. i rbana Citizen. The Governorship. We see the name of the Hon. Columbus Dela no, of Mt. Vernon, announced ns a probable candidate for Governor, by the press in various sections of tlio State. Mr. Delano stands high in this section of tho slate, ns a gentleman and a Republicnn. Whilo he is not the particular choice of the people here, we know of no promi nent member ot the party who would receive a more united vole or hearty support in Eastern Ohio, than the Hon. Columbus Delano. Suuben-ville Herald. The Fromont Journal proposes the name of the Hon. R. P. Buckland. Says the Journal: Papers in all sections of the State have been proposing their candidates for Governor. Several good and worthy men have been named, but among them all, none better or more worthy, or that can poll a larger vote in Northern Ohio, than Ilon.KALPH P. BUCKLAND, of Fremont, now a member of the Ohio Senate. What say the press in Northern Ohio to our candidate? The Wousi-on (Fulton county,) Sentinel has changed hands and names. It is called the North Western Republican, and is published by Messrs. Fuller & Dcvor. It is a good paper, well edited, nnd soundly Republican. It ought to receive a liberal support from the gallant Republicans of the North West. The Springfield A'etet and Journal has of Into been greatly improved, by a change in the arrangement of its reading matterv and by evi dent additional labor upon its news department. The iVcu'i is one of our most spirited and wide awake exchanges, and we heartily hope its en terprise may meet with due reward. The Pork Trade in Fremont. The Fremont Journal gives some figures of the pork trado of that place: The pork trade of our town for Ihe past few weeks has been very brisk, exceeding that of any previous season. e have taken the pains to get the figures Irom theprinciplo buyers, aud they loot up to wit: A. Ousdorf, 1300; D. Garvin & Co., 1500; D. Metis & Co., 1800; A. Morehouse, packed 2000; other dealers and citizens, 1000; making a total of 7600 hogs. A larre portion of thu number packed by Mr. Morehouse, were bought by D. Garvin & Co., in addition to the number stated by them, iho liogs would average in price about $11 n head, which would make about $75- 000 paid out for pork in our town I Wo doubt whether (hero is a town in this section of the State that can show better figures. lion in addition. STATEJTEMS. Improvement at Newark. The American of this week, devotes an artlclo to a review of the improvements and business prospects of Newark. The lntter, it says, are very cheering. Tho manufacture of Coal Oil, already an important branch of business at Newark, is lo be still further extended. Says the Amrriian: Since our Inst, some very important steps have been taken in relation to the manufacture of coal oil. ne learn that the Buckeye Company. (Taylor and others) has, or is about to enlarge its capital, hy tho addition of new partners, nnd to add largely to its works. Another Company. to be known as the "Phoenix Oil Works," has also been organized, and consists of the following persons: I. C. Bell, Joseph Ball, J. H. Lamed, Lo Roy S. Bell, nnd Charles B. Giffin, Messrs. Bell and Giffin are to operate Ihe works. They hnvo nol yet fixed on a site for their build ings, but the retortB are ordered, and the works nre lo bo put inlo immediate operation. Mr. Lnndherg, lately associated wilh Mr. Holmes, has been in town several davs, looking at coal lands nnd making inquiries in regnrd to the manufacture. He is the agent of a large East ern oil house, and has concluded certain prelim innry contracts, which aro to result in a large mnntituctory or crudo oil. We do not under- stand that the project is yet fully matured. Mr. Bell, an enterprising and well-known citizen of Pittsburgh, has purchased a lot of ground south of the Great. Western Oil Works, and will . immed'a e'y establish a manufnotorv for distill ing and purifying coal oil. Mr. Bell will re move his family hither, and fully idontify him- seir witn our interests.

The Washington Union has published two let ters from Mr. Townsend Harris, our Consul General to Japan, which givos us a true insight into many of tho customs of that interesting country. These letters, "written wilh conver sational freedom, and not intended for the public eye," possess the stamp of truthfulness. They present us with a picture in miniature of Jnpnnese life, nnd aro calculated to convey fa vorable impressions of that isolated people. They have been condensed by the Philadelphia North American, as follows: Mr. Harris describes his presentation to the Emperor, nnd mentions tlio fact that he stood erect, and did not kneel, as is the prescribed ctiqnetto of that punctilious Court. A faint re-iiiifst. he savs, wns ninde lo him at Simodn, be fore he proceeded to ledo, that tic would kneel, "but I told them," he adds, fliat "Ihe request wns offensive, and must not be repented. That ended it." It. wns n mere ceremony, a ceremony observed by tho highest officers of tho empire, including the brothers ot the wnperor. Alexander, tlio itromcroi .Mcnoins, reprimnn-led his Ambassador to Chinn, because he, like Mr. Harris, refused to observo tho ceremonies of that, country, when admitted to nn audience with the Emperor. And Napoleon condemned laird Amherst, the English Ambassador, for a similar refusal. "Ho ought," he said, "to have complied wilh such ceremonies as were prac ticed by tho first mandarins ot tno empire toward tho Emperor. The Chinese did not ask the Engligh to send nmbnssndors tothem. Their having sent 0110 wns a proof that they had somo favor to ask, or somo object to gain; there lore they ought to havo complied with tlieir customs, or else not have sent an ambassador out. An ambassador is for the affair, and not for the ceremonift of tho country he belongs to. Hebe-comes tho same as ono of the first nobles of the country he is in, and should conform to tlio same ceiomonies. If anything more were required of him, then, Indeed, ho ought to refuse his consent."In adopting a different lino of condnot, how. ever, Mr. Harris, fortunntcly for tho success t f his mission, gavo no oncnio. lie made Ills a l-dress to Ihe Emperor, nnd the Emperor replied "In a clear and pleasant voice." Having presented the President's letter, "the Emperor bow ed to mo. smiling pleasantly at, the same time. This ended my nudience, nnd Ibactred out of tl e room making three bows ns I retired." Shortly after thlsnudience, Mr. Harris hnd an interview with the Mlnistor for foreign Affairs, and the members of the Great Counell of Suite. He explained to them, at this sod other Interviews, the polity and policy of tho western , world, ths advantages of commerce, ic. At last cemmls-loners wereappoiutcd to negotiate with him, nnd after great labor a treaty was at length Concluded. We have already had oconsion to say that we are not likely to derive any very Important commercial advantages from our Intercourse wilh Jnpan, In consequence of this treaty, until the resources of that empire are more full developed. Having concluded his treaty, Mr. JJarrit had au opportunity to visit the various objects of interest in and about Jeddo. The city itself, be tells us, covers more ground than London, and lis population is about two millions, "There is not," he saya, "a chimney nor a pane of window glass to be found in the whole empire. The gilded columns, supporting the fretted eeilings. and golden roofs of stately palaces, described by the old writers on Japan, are not lo be found, and I am informed by the Japanese that they never had any oxistence out of Ihe 'Traveler's Tales,' which relate such marvels abont Japan. His impressions of tho people are altogether favorable. He describes them as genial, cordial, refined in their politeness, but thoroughly utilitarian. "They are the best fed, clad and lodged, and the least overworked, of any people on earth. God grant that future generations may not have cause to regret the hour I arrived in Japan !" Mr. Harris appears, from these familiar letters, to be a man of sense, information, firmness and directness of purpose. His residence in Jnpan will be likely to create a favorable im prcssiou of our government and people; an impression which future intercourse, we trust, will not tend to dissipate, but strengthen and confirm. Danger and Abuae of the Poat Office Mo nopol)-. From Forney' Pre. Not having bad cither of tho two mysterious black cats of the Senate chamber in our service, we were unable to present 10 our readers an early account of tho lnte acrimonious debate in secret cxi-cutive session, nor to publish such a garbled statement of it as would elicit from the Senators a public denial of its accuracy. It Is reported, however, that a recent appointment in Ohio being under consideration, heontor Puor denounced the method in which the vacancy had been created, by removing one uf his friends. Ho was followed by Senator Dovolas, who commented, in lerms of deserved severity, upon the character, of the Administration appointees in Illinois, and stated, as a proof of thoir infamy, hat out of fifty thousand documents he bad tor-waidcd by mail to his constituents, during last year, not ono had been received by the person to whom it was addressed. He added that he would give a reward of ten dollars for every case in which Ihe reception of those documents was authenticated. The statement is one which should arrest the attention of the country, for it indicates the existence of an evil of frightful magnitude. The Post Office Department has become extremely expensive. Tho present Administration demands for its support, during the ensuing fiscal year, nearly S17,000,000, nnd proposes to charge five cents for the transmission of letters between post offices but live miles d'stnnt from each other. A system which imposes such heavy expenditures should furnish a corresponding degree of privacy, security, and advantage to the public. Men of all parties are taxed to support it, and men of all parties should enjoy an equal share of the benefits. We belive that postmasters are frequently wrongfully accused of delays in the transmission of mail matter, or losses of valuable letters. But our experience has taught us that there are men now acting in that capacity who display the "insolence of office" in its most aggravated and obnoxious formi. Through them, the strong arm of power has repeatedly been exerted to diminish the circulation of the I'reti, and to obstruct its dissemination among the people. There is serious ground for the fear thnt our present rulers are disposed, as far as possible, to prostitute a great public system in which the whole nation has a deep interest, into an instrument for the protection of partisan ends. In Illinois, men of in'egrity and ct p cty have in repcattd instances been removed because they would not soil their manhood by repudiating their honest principles, and their places have been .filled by abandoned, bnse and corrupt wretches, whose destitution of principle marked them as willing tools to violate the sanctity of the mails, to destroy or withhold matter intended for dittribution, to disregard thoir official oaths, nnd to make of the "powers that be" a God whose faithful worship atoned for the most infamous crimes. It is well known that one of tho last stages of tyiannical cor upiiomeached by absolutist power is that in which the secrets of the post office are placed at the mercy of prying officials, and a plan of espionage founded upon its operations, more penetrating, fearful, and revolting than the political spy system of France. Nothing is so well calculated to shake the confidence and arouse ihe indignation of a great nation, as the idea that its most secret thoughts and moet confidential revelations can be plaoed at the mercy of the del auched postmasters. In a country like this, the frequent and speedy transmissions of writ en intelligence is a necessity. The government, has monopolized the exclusive control of this great undertaking, and peremptorily forbids the inference of private individuals.But if the abuses of power by its agents are not speedily corrected, the proposition to abolish the Post Office Department and throw the business open to private competition, which was adversely reported upon in Congress on Tuesday, will grow in popularity, and eventually become a necessity. The Administration is throwing unprecedented odium upon existing institutions by its shameful prostitution of the powers they confer, and every day illustrates, by its conduct, how much evil can be perpetrated by bad men, even under tho best system of Government. ' Co.lly Chnrch-Edlfl.ee. A correspondent of The Protetlunt Churchman comments upon thcbiirning of a small but elegant house of worship which had just been completed by Mr. Burd of Hydo Park, Dutchess co. It was built on his own estate, and in a neighborhood where Episcopalians are very few in number " Why, then, expend 011 one building, in such a locality as Annnndnle, a sum sufficient for the erection of four or five rural churches ? It is apprehended, nnd it. is to be regretted, that the venerable Corporation of Old Trinity, in your city, has found so many imitators. The edifice at the head of Wall street is, as a secular print tells us, 'mnjeslic, wealthy, Gothic, sleepy, and hns chimes,' all of which cost over $350,000. Trinity Chnpcl, too, Gothic in the fullest, painted in defiance nf all taste, and so constricted as to mock the efforts of priests and people to be heard aud to hear, cost, it is said, $240,000. Ten churches in the cily, at fifty thousand dollars each, and ono hundred in the country, at five thousand dollars each, could have been built for the half million."
