To-morrow a new year begins, and tbe old one will have passed away. It ta usual tor editor! to indulge tn mora) reflections 01 such oc casion. Wo have permitted ft poetloal friend to speak for ni; hit veraea will be lonnd to an- other column. Wo can only "ay that the past year baa been one of bard labor to as, but we have the pleasure ol knowing that our labors bave not bean altogether unavailing, or unap predated. The condition of the Journal Is good; our subscription has handsomely Increased, and uur advertising baa been equal to our ex-pee tat Ions. We should he glad to bave both increased ; we havo made our paper as good as our means would permit. Tbe Republicans of Obto ought to give abetter support to their central paper. Tbe daily papers in large cities are well supported, and they can afford to employ a corps of Editors and Boportera. Tuore ftro upwards ot forty persons employed dally Id editing the New York Tribune, and we presume the same Is true of the 1'tmei and Htrald. The Uiuelnoall papers bave each department orgsulzad, and men employed to take charge of them. We could not afford such an expenae. We have to be our own Editor, News Collector and Local, and write our own leader and paragraphs, fight the Slmtmnan, defend the Republicans and expose tbe deceits and rascalities of Locorocolsm. Thin Is done day alter day, six timet a week, and it is bard work. We do not mention It to complain, nor to claim for ourselves merit. Wo state tbe fact. We tblok It ft Tact, however, not creditable to the Hi-publicans of Obio. If an effort were made in lbe several counties to Increase our business, by tbe friends or tbe causa, the Incoming year would show such an Increase of ''material aid," as would justify the employment of an assistant tor the Local Department of the paper. We are determined to keep out of debt, and to incur no risks whicu a prudent foresight would not justify. When we began this, we did not Intend to say one word In regard lo ourselves, but merely to announco that to morrow will be ft holiday at at our offloe, and no paper will be issued there from, and furthermore to wlsb all of our readers aud patrons "A Uapkt Nkw Ymih." The Cincinnati Koeairer, Cheap 8ufar and anne&auon The Jim Crow propensities of the Cincinnati Enquirer, are becoming dally more and more amusing. If that paper could be personified by any material substance, it would be by a burly negro dressed In the garb ul uld Dan Rice, and transfixed on a pivot, on which it could whirl about, nnd jump Jim Crow.- Its face anil fea tures would not havo to nndcrgo a radical change to produce the illusion, nor would its shin hones require much planing down. For mouths past It has been boring Its read ers with articles sustaining the even-handed lattice of keeping on tbe present high sugar duties, lor the benefit of a few slaveholders in Louisiana and Texas, anil the disadvantage It would be to the consumers, who comprise nearly the whole of tho nation, to linve them re pealed. It may be that the person who wrote the articles, understood them as ar gumentative homilies in favor ol cutting tbe duties down which would be hut another evidence of thn whlrlalout nature of the writer but every man of sane Intellect, understood him to mean keeping tbein up, and we are deposed to believe that tho writer so loteuded them, notwithstanding bis denial in J the fCnynurr of vowU-rdBj. W a nppreheud thu truib U be this: Uu found that his Domocrat.c brethren In Ohio, were nut impressed with bis logic; they could not understand tho Democ racy ol paying a tax ot two ceiite on each pound of sugar Ibey consumed, for the benefit ol tbe Southern sugar growers, while the Western farmer received no protection whatever from the (lovcrnment, tu guard him against the competition ol the grain aud cattle growers ol Canada. This lact waa probably snWced into bis bead by frequent repetition, and so he makes a sort of elephantine back-down, and a -sndous his position, lo the same manner, shortly alter tho election, be made a fall grown Usbluet fur Uuchauan, which was of the moat scarlet hue, III I-I busier Ub aud mi gar coated. Ut gave offense by Ibis to bis parly in tho Stale, and iu a lew days the fact penetrated bis wool, and bo crawLWbcd. Since then be has beau at tea, driltlug like a Now Foundland ttnhurman, beyond reach of soundings and In a fug. In tint predicament bo hat amused himself In keeping dead reckoning and running for luck. Ho It great in eulogy, lie te at full of puffery at a pastry cook, and as rhetorical as oue of Day Jr Martin t poets on the polishing qualities of lbe renowned liquid paste blacking. He never sklnia a subject with a light hair brush, his pulling ta always thick and alab, and bo lays it on with a trowel. In this way ho has stuccoed every promioenl Iluoh anler in the land, who hat a ghost ol a chance (or a ev'-t in the new Cabinet, or tha dispensation ol patronage, and they are ranged along in bin sepulcbural column t, like mummies In a catacomb, or bricks in a dead wall, to be unrolled ur taken out whenever Buchanan makes his aelecllon or Indicates bit oboioe. We now proceed with his new sugar argument. The argument begins with a puff as follows : Our Irlend ol the Ohio Stntetmtn poesotwea an admirable skill In hitting the bull s-eye ol a controversy, which, with others ol los tant and experience, would be of endless and ana-vailing duration. We are Impressed with the truth or ttiis observation by reading a short article in tbe last number ol the .SfurrsMiin on the insar diitiea, which sums up the whole ar gument tn tbe single observation: "Let all who want to have sugars cheap go for the acquisition of the island or Cuba." That Is coming to the point at once. No doubt our neiglilior of tbe Shle$man deserves the tricndly noiioe uf lu Cincinnati co- temporary, thuugb readers of taste will regard it dye stuffs, yun must annex South America. Il yog would have cheap toys and trnmnery, you must annex Holland and a part of Uermany. If yon would bave cheap cordage, hemp and tall cloth, yoa must annex Russia. If oheap wines and brandies, France; cheap transit over the Isthmus, Central America; cheap oall-coet, Manchester and Glasgow. If yon will have cheap coffee, annex Java, and If yon will have cheap silks and souchong, why, go the whole figure, and annex China and the wholo Celestial Flowery Kingdom, When you bave got through your work of annexation, perhaps you may And that the system Is not so ben eflcial as you wero led lo think It would be. Carrying out this sublime Idea of cbeup sugar and Cuan annexation, we might logical ly add, that if you would have cheap "niggers," annex Africa. This idea strikes us as a good one. It gets rid of the piracy statute now upon uur books. With Africa annexed , we could iring negroes from Africa as legally as we ounld from Virginia to tbe Red Hirer. The African trade would then be a part ol the inter-State Slave trade. Annex Africa, and the horrors of the traffic cease at once. It become! a constitutional right, and an element of civilization to save the Union. We do nut wish to bo understood as'aciiuusly advocating the annexation of Africa, that tbe Congo slave trade may be made lugal, constitutional end Christian, or that "niggers"- mav become cheaper thereby. We have only attempted In answer the argument ol the Statt iimn and the ilnquirer that tn order to have oheap sugar we must annex Cuba, with their own logic ; and if we bave succeeded In showing the absurdity and wickedness ot their premises, aud the shallowness ot their argument, we Miall not contend tor thu validity or strength ot our own. We only claim that the rule ol action which they would apply to sugar mid Culm, is one subvert ve of all known laws of political economy, and ll made general, would destroy our government, and deluge thn civilized world with Iraternal blood. It Education a Bnv III ? Tbe Richmond Enquirer baa a theory that education is an injury rather than a bone lit. It says that "reading and writing are the worst means of acquiring knowlcdgu," and that "lime employed iu tbw acquisition, is time lost." It may suit lbe latitude nl Virginia to urge thla view, as It la made a crime lo that State to teach a certain class of obildrea to read. Dr. Freeman Hunt, In a late numlierot the Merchants .Wagnitiu, adduces an argumenl in favor of educating the youth of our land. It Is to be regretted that thero should be any necessity for using sacb kind of argument, but as there are in the world a great many men who measure all things even their professed religion by the "Almighty Dollar," thr article will result in good. Aside from that, tt Is one of interest, from lis calculation, and will bo read with much pleasure. We have only room for a brief tract, which goes to show how much a man costs what be Is wortb what Is his real money or commercial value, and what peroeotage an education, If given him, payn on the original Investment. Mr. Hunt says The avoraire cost, wllb Interest, of ralnini any person to the age of twenty-one, will equal ll.unti this is inveBiea wiini is inn invest. ment worth It will cost $100 a year to support him. To this body add a mind, and In what an extraordinary ratio has the person 'n value been raised. He can now earn, suppose f :ii)0 a yearthat equals f itm above the value ol the idiot, which is to be set duwn In the credit of mind. fioiv mm ednoBtfoa, ptrrfecrrtig mm irom birth to maturity, and what can he earn T It itm per yenr too mncn 10 nuow r tubi is 17(H) more than the uneducated man Is allowed, nnd how bigbly must wo rale tbe expense ol education? It could not average $7i, which thereloro fields 100 per cent. I'eonle usually count the cot ol growth and sustenance ot the body as part at tliu expenses oi education ; out Huh should never bn done ; a clear distinction should always be made between the expenses to he cnar'iit to Lite unuy, ami tnos 10 ue charged to tho mind ; and as clear a distinction sluuld lie made in caw of the credits, lor at 1 unco some very practical truths would k thus exhibited.

It would, however, be necessary in that cane for thu Htate Superintendent to negotiate for his books through one bouse, to as to obtain them all the same rate of discount.

The President inquired whullior, In the pun-Hcation ot such a uaUiiotiu as tho one just referred to, publishers would allow alow price to bo hawked through thu otate, wheu the tnaU;r rested on so muck uncertainty. Mr. Rickoif tbouglit tliat by all means a tie-Unite price should bo fixed to every book on Uu-catalogue, so that thu people iu each township and district, knowing precisely what thny Imvo to expend, can best apply their means to their own satisfaction. Ho doubled very much in bin own mind whether any very great reduction would be made on Die prices ol Nioks. Mr. I lonely thought that this question of pru" would be quite apt lo mislead thn people.

If wo bad been out ol debt in other rurpeoia, thu Jnimiul would have paid for itself, lu view of this statu of affairs, the committee submit two propositions for your consideration. just us Limy are submitted to us : 1st. Tho lenders ol Uiuuinuati propose to take the Journal and edit lor a sum not exceeding $500. 2d. It has been proposed to oontluue the paper at Columbus, and employ a competent, man lo su- periuieuu iia euiitng ana publication. Among thu considerations urged In tavor of tbe Cincinnati proposition Is, that being ibe irreat eotn 'ruial -autiterr.'iot oulv ol Ohio, bill ot Hie Great West, the center ol arte and learning, there ia fitness in removing the Journal there. On tbo otber hand, it it argued in favor of the 2d proposition, that in order to Hive our Journal vitality aud Interest, like the great papers ami magazines ot our own and ol foreign countries, we must employ a man thoroughly acquainted with tbe business of editing aud publishing. Our Association Is in debt $IA0O. Our expenses should be curtailed us much a posHitue. tt was with this view tbat the teachers ol' Cincinnati made tbeir proposition. We will not, however, press our claims if It would have a tendency to interrupt the friendly feeling which have hitherto existed between tench ers in d liferent portions of thn Stale.

Incendiary hatrauguM when Ibay found that tbe I Tbe time having arrived lor tbu afternoon, thai a Library provision of their School Law, somewhat similar to the one proposed iu the re port, was exceedingly popular there. There the books were selected by the Stale Superintendent, subject to tbe decision ol the Statu Board, which consisted of tbe Governor, Attorney General, Auditor and Treasurer ol Slate, men oapable ol passing judgment upon the merits ol bonks, aud he was haunv Lo add that, this judgment bad beeu entirely approved ol by the ueuptH. i rois. Liarairae and Milts made ine selection. Last year he made thn selection with them In common, as greater the number ordered Irom one house the srealer would be the dis count. He bad issued a circular a year and a hair ago to County Auditors, specifying their duties in respect to School Libraries, to which nicy nati paid no attention no meu prepared, ttu Wished, and sent them a catalogue of the books selected, Informing them tbat tbu people ot each township and district had the privilege uf choosing from this list up lo me ursi oi jauuaiy or thai year waited yet another month, and then proceeded tu negotiate a contract with the publishers, with the proviso thai he slill miirbt have the urivlleiie ul substi tulltig other Iwoks for thuse chosen down tu the very latest date. Tbe Indiana Library Provision wan a wise one according lo that, the very moment i in- ursi installment nl books arrives, the Siitttt Busrd gt in and select and apportion m ine several school board1 Hi Ihe fctaie their respective iiuutas, the Auditor nt each county indicating tu lbe schedule lo what Hoards they shall be sent. Formerly their library lav hm one-ieninoi a mm on encn dollar valuation latterly il hml Iw-rn raised tn one fourth id mill, with au additional poll tax uf UA cents per rtiHtti, lu fact. Ihe .Slate ot Indiana, with only uni'-hall lhu amount ol taxable properly of Ohio, in three yenn time have distributed more book than ahe has during tbat iktiihI. too conclusion must tie tn every sensible mind, that tbeir iaw ii better than ours. Since April last he had visited 44 counties ol this Stale, uud attended 70 Teachers' Institutes, and had conversed wilh nO County Auditors, and he had found tt universally true, that where any kind ol attention had been paid lo this subject, thai this was decidedly ihe mo.t INipular clause of lbe whole School law, (. e. the Library elauae ) Even in the Western and most sparsely settled counties in Ibis Stule, when 1 visited the Library rooms, were literally ihruugHil, and every book bad been drawn from twelve to twenty limes, and in many Instances were mm wuru out by cuustaut use. I nere nru townsinps uow w tbiu r lie-snot ot tins nan, that don't knuw that they are entitled lo books, wiine iney are iviuir useless in irarrets, lumber- rooms and county olllces. Where these I acts are kuown and tbe books have been reoeived and appreciated, nothing can describe the eager uesa and exiwctaliun wilh which lbe people are hulking (or tbe second Installment uf books. It u the moat precious boon that tbe btale can give, ?hu Hoards ol Ediieatlou in every town ship and district, should io all cases see to It unit library oases aro provided tur tbe reception ol these books, and that responsible libia- nans be appointed under lbe regulation uf um r-cuooi uaw. missioner was the proper p-tson to make the selecliun. On the contrary, ho believed that the people, like spoiled children, after having had tbeir own way, failing, would go right back lu the Htate Commissioner tor advice. Mr. Haddock waa still for reieirlug this report to the committee on Revision and i Amendments. The proposition Itself ever' uuu uiusi approve ui, mum a inaucr oi such special legislation we ought to bave all our plans ma tured uoiore we recommend them to Iho General Assembly for adoption. This Is yet in a crude state. We have not thought upon It sufficiently. ror myself I am not particular whether this f.i relerred back or not. I adhere to my motion to refer however because, in my opinion, the School Law ought to preserve- an unity, and noue are so competeut to pass finally upon this matter us the committee on the Revision and Amendment ot ihe School Law, What If we can't accomplish what we wish to now. Butter wait a year tlniu make a mis-step, Mr. Barnoy remarked that the act ut' Dm Lcj-islaluro last winter suspending the operation ol thu Library clause of tliu School Law for one year, has not ym, taken eil'.-ct,. . i comes Into operation on tliu lt of January, 1KA7.

Wo have permitted ft poetloal friend to speak for ni; hit veraea will be lonnd to an- other column. Wo can only "ay that the past year baa been one of bard labor to as, but we have the pleasure ol knowing that our labors bave not bean altogether unavailing, or unap predated. The condition of the Journal Is good; our subscription has handsomely Increased, and uur advertising baa been equal to our ex-pee tat Ions. We should he glad to bave both increased ; we havo made our paper as good as our means would permit. Tbe Republicans of Obto ought to give abetter support to their central paper. Tbe daily papers in large cities are well supported, and they can afford to employ a corps of Editors and Boportera. Tuore ftro upwards ot forty persons employed dally Id editing the New York Tribune, and we presume the same Is true of the 1'tmei and Htrald. The Uiuelnoall papers bave each department orgsulzad, and men employed to take charge of them. We could not afford such an expenae. We have to be our own Editor, News Collector and Local, and write our own leader and paragraphs, fight the Slmtmnan, defend the Republicans and expose tbe deceits and rascalities of Locorocolsm. Thin Is done day alter day, six timet a week, and it is bard work. We do not mention It to complain, nor to claim for ourselves merit. Wo state tbe fact. We tblok It ft Tact, however, not creditable to the Hi-publicans of Obio. If an effort were made in lbe several counties to Increase our business, by tbe friends or tbe causa, the Incoming year would show such an Increase of ''material aid," as would justify the employment of an assistant tor the Local Department of the paper. We are determined to keep out of debt, and to incur no risks whicu a prudent foresight would not justify. When we began this, we did not Intend to say one word In regard lo ourselves, but merely to announco that to morrow will be ft holiday at at our offloe, and no paper will be issued there from, and furthermore to wlsb all of our readers aud patrons "A Uapkt Nkw Ymih." The Cincinnati Koeairer, Cheap 8ufar and anne&auon The Jim Crow propensities of the Cincinnati Enquirer, are becoming dally more and more amusing. If that paper could be personified by any material substance, it would be by a burly negro dressed In the garb ul uld Dan Rice, and transfixed on a pivot, on which it could whirl about, nnd jump Jim Crow.- Its face anil fea tures would not havo to nndcrgo a radical change to produce the illusion, nor would its shin hones require much planing down. For mouths past It has been boring Its read ers with articles sustaining the even-handed lattice of keeping on tbe present high sugar duties, lor the benefit of a few slaveholders in Louisiana and Texas, anil the disadvantage It would be to the consumers, who comprise nearly the whole of tho nation, to linve them re pealed. It may be that the person who wrote the articles, understood them as ar gumentative homilies in favor ol cutting tbe duties down which would be hut another evidence of thn whlrlalout nature of the writer but every man of sane Intellect, understood him to mean keeping tbein up, and we are deposed to believe that tho writer so loteuded them, notwithstanding bis denial in J the fCnynurr of vowU-rdBj. W a nppreheud thu truib U be this: Uu found that his Domocrat.c brethren In Ohio, were nut impressed with bis logic; they could not understand tho Democ racy ol paying a tax ot two ceiite on each pound of sugar Ibey consumed, for the benefit ol tbe Southern sugar growers, while the Western farmer received no protection whatever from the (lovcrnment, tu guard him against the competition ol the grain aud cattle growers ol Canada. This lact waa probably snWced into bis bead by frequent repetition, and so he makes a sort of elephantine back-down, and a -sndous his position, lo the same manner, shortly alter tho election, be made a fall grown Usbluet fur Uuchauan, which was of the moat scarlet hue, III I-I busier Ub aud mi gar coated.

Since then be has beau at tea, driltlug like a Now Foundland ttnhurman, beyond reach of soundings and In a fug. In tint predicament bo hat amused himself In keeping dead reckoning and running for luck. Ho It great in eulogy, lie te at full of puffery at a pastry cook, and as rhetorical as oue of Day Jr Martin t poets on the polishing qualities of lbe renowned liquid paste blacking. He never sklnia a subject with a light hair brush, his pulling ta always thick and alab, and bo lays it on with a trowel. In this way ho has stuccoed every promioenl Iluoh anler in the land, who hat a ghost ol a chance (or a ev'-t in the new Cabinet, or tha dispensation ol patronage, and they are ranged along in bin sepulcbural column t, like mummies In a catacomb, or bricks in a dead wall, to be unrolled ur taken out whenever Buchanan makes his aelecllon or Indicates bit oboioe. We now proceed with his new sugar argument. The argument begins with a puff as follows : Our Irlend ol the Ohio Stntetmtn poesotwea an admirable skill In hitting the bull s-eye ol a controversy, which, with others ol los tant and experience, would be of endless and ana-vailing duration. We are Impressed with the truth or ttiis observation by reading a short article in tbe last number ol the .SfurrsMiin on the insar diitiea, which sums up the whole ar gument tn tbe single observation: "Let all who want to have sugars cheap go for the acquisition of the island or Cuba." That Is coming to the point at once. No doubt our neiglilior of tbe Shle$man deserves the tricndly noiioe uf lu Cincinnati co- temporary, thuugb readers of taste will regard it dye stuffs, yun must annex South America. Il yog would have cheap toys and trnmnery, you must annex Holland and a part of Uermany. If yon would bave cheap cordage, hemp and tall cloth, yoa must annex Russia. If oheap wines and brandies, France; cheap transit over the Isthmus, Central America; cheap oall-coet, Manchester and Glasgow. If yon will have cheap coffee, annex Java, and If yon will have cheap silks and souchong, why, go the whole figure, and annex China and the wholo Celestial Flowery Kingdom, When you bave got through your work of annexation, perhaps you may And that the system Is not so ben eflcial as you wero led lo think It would be. Carrying out this sublime Idea of cbeup sugar and Cuan annexation, we might logical ly add, that if you would have cheap "niggers," annex Africa. This idea strikes us as a good one. It gets rid of the piracy statute now upon uur books. With Africa annexed , we could iring negroes from Africa as legally as we ounld from Virginia to tbe Red Hirer. The African trade would then be a part ol the inter-State Slave trade. Annex Africa, and the horrors of the traffic cease at once. It become! a constitutional right, and an element of civilization to save the Union. We do nut wish to bo understood as'aciiuusly advocating the annexation of Africa, that tbe Congo slave trade may be made lugal, constitutional end Christian, or that "niggers"- mav become cheaper thereby. We have only attempted In answer the argument ol the Statt iimn and the ilnquirer that tn order to have oheap sugar we must annex Cuba, with their own logic ; and if we bave succeeded In showing the absurdity and wickedness ot their premises, aud the shallowness ot their argument, we Miall not contend tor thu validity or strength ot our own. We only claim that the rule ol action which they would apply to sugar mid Culm, is one subvert ve of all known laws of political economy, and ll made general, would destroy our government, and deluge thn civilized world with Iraternal blood. It Education a Bnv III ? Tbe Richmond Enquirer baa a theory that education is an injury rather than a bone lit. It says that "reading and writing are the worst means of acquiring knowlcdgu," and that "lime employed iu tbw acquisition, is time lost." It may suit lbe latitude nl Virginia to urge thla view, as It la made a crime lo that State to teach a certain class of obildrea to read. Dr. Freeman Hunt, In a late numlierot the Merchants .Wagnitiu, adduces an argumenl in favor of educating the youth of our land. It Is to be regretted that thero should be any necessity for using sacb kind of argument, but as there are in the world a great many men who measure all things even their professed religion by the "Almighty Dollar," thr article will result in good. Aside from that, tt Is one of interest, from lis calculation, and will bo read with much pleasure. We have only room for a brief tract, which goes to show how much a man costs what be Is wortb what Is his real money or commercial value, and what peroeotage an education, If given him, payn on the original Investment. Mr. Hunt says The avoraire cost, wllb Interest, of ralnini any person to the age of twenty-one, will equal ll.unti this is inveBiea wiini is inn invest. ment worth It will cost $100 a year to support him. To this body add a mind, and In what an extraordinary ratio has the person 'n value been raised. He can now earn, suppose f :ii)0 a yearthat equals f itm above the value ol the idiot, which is to be set duwn In the credit of mind. fioiv mm ednoBtfoa, ptrrfecrrtig mm irom birth to maturity, and what can he earn T It itm per yenr too mncn 10 nuow r tubi is 17(H) more than the uneducated man Is allowed, nnd how bigbly must wo rale tbe expense ol education? It could not average $7i, which thereloro fields 100 per cent. I'eonle usually count the cot ol growth and sustenance ot the body as part at tliu expenses oi education ; out Huh should never bn done ; a clear distinction should always be made between the expenses to he cnar'iit to Lite unuy, ami tnos 10 ue charged to tho mind ; and as clear a distinction sluuld lie made in caw of the credits, lor at 1 unco some very practical truths would k thus exhibited.

He bad issued a circular a year and a hair ago to County Auditors, specifying their duties in respect to School Libraries, to which nicy nati paid no attention no meu prepared, ttu Wished, and sent them a catalogue of the books selected, Informing them tbat tbu people ot each township and district had the privilege uf choosing from this list up lo me ursi oi jauuaiy or thai year waited yet another month, and then proceeded tu negotiate a contract with the publishers, with the proviso thai he slill miirbt have the urivlleiie ul substi tulltig other Iwoks for thuse chosen down tu the very latest date.
