In the month of July the troops were trans- 

 ferred to the United States, and the State thus 

 relieved from their payment. 



The Ohio Democratic State Convention met 

 at Columbus, August 10, and nominated H. J. 

 Jewett for Governor, and John Scott Harrison 

 for Lieutenant-Governor. A series of resolu- 

 tions were adopted. The third recommended 

 the legislatures of the States to call a Xational 

 Convention for settling the present difficulties 

 and restoring and preserving the Union. The 

 sixth resolution condemned the President's at- 

 tempt to suspend the writ of habeas corpua. 



The public debt of the State of Ohio is $13,- 

 85.233; add for war purposes $1,212,037; 

 total, $14,897,273. This is an increase on the 

 year of $647,039 some old debts having been 

 paid off. 



The valuation of State property for 1861 

 number of acres 25,871,275 is, real estate in 

 the country, $494,064,639 ; in towns and cities, 

 $149.818,913 ; personal property, $248,966,532. 

 Total, $892,850,084. 



Taxes for State purposes, 4.55 mills, $4,056,- 

 379 ; for local purposes, $7,014,748. Total 

 taxes, $11,071,127. 



The payments in counties, in 1861, on ac- 

 count of the Common School Fund, were $1,- 

 205,107. 



The number of horses in the State is 730,- 

 427; value, $36.211,355. Cattle, 1,837,938; 

 value, $19,734.330. Mules, 11,155; value,

During 1861, there were 22,251 marriages in 

 Ohio, which is 1 in each 105 of population, the- 

 highest ratio among civilized nations. The num- 

 ber in 1859 was 420 greater. "When Ohio sent 

 100,000 males, or 20 per cent, of the active male 

 population, into the army, it affected the result. 



During 1861, there were 11,233 naturaliza- 

 tions, of whom 5,349 were Germans ; 2,108 

 Irish ; the residue English, "Welsh, Scotch, 

 French, &c. Of the whole number, 8.970 were 

 naturalized in the Probate Courts, and 2,263 in 

 the Courts of Common Pleas. The number 

 naturalized in 1860 was 10,479. In the last 



three years, 30,705, or 10,000 a year indicat- 

 ing a total increase for 1859-60-61, of 30,000 

 persons. Of the whole number of naturalized 

 persons, 19,159 were Germans. 



In times of peace, the commission of crimes 

 is remarkably uniform from year to year. The 

 number of indictments for 1861 was 2,827 ; 

 convictions, 1,374; of which 724 were crimes 

 against persons, 597 against property. Crimes 

 against society, 1,422. 



The number of violent deaths returned for 66 

 counties in 1861, were 621, 100 more than were 

 returned for 62 counties in 1860 up to July 1st 

 each year. The number of homicides in 1861 

 was 12 less than in 1860 ; of suicides 16 more ; 

 and of casualties 94 more. It is remarked that 

 suicide has been increasing of late years, owing 

 to disturbing causes in the commercial world, 

 and the war. Casualties particularly serious 

 railroad accidents increased. Homicides have 

 been caused chiefly by intemperance. 



The new structures which have been built 

 in Ohio during the last four years, are as fol- 

 lows :

Rather more than two-thirds are dwelling- 

 houses and stores. Of the foregoing, 25,000 

 were of these classes. This would indicate an 

 increase of population of 372,000 in ten years. 

 The increase shown by the census was 360,000. 



The total number of paupers of all classes, 

 lunatics, &c., is 35.900 ; or 1 in 70 in the whole 

 population who belong to the dependent class. 

 A large number in fact, but small relatively 

 compared with other nations. 



On the subject of debt, the Commissioner 

 of Statistics assumes that three-fourths of the 

 debts due in this State from any source are 

 known, without doubt including the State, 

 municipal, bank, record, and judgment debts. 

 The commercial and private unrecorded debts 

 then remain to be ascertained. The latter 

 must be small, because only small sums are 

 loaned without security. All other debts by 

 loan are either in the form of mortgage, judg- 

 ment liens, or endorsed notes discounted in 

 banks. The commercial debt, however, is 

 large. The debt of importers cannot exceed 

 more than half the imports, and the imports 

 cannot materially exceed the exports. The ex- 

 port value of domestic produce and of manufac- 

 tures of domestic materials and labor does not 

 vary materially from $60,000,000 per annum. 

 Many sales are made for cash, and credit rarely 

 exceeds six months, and therefore half the value 

 of exports is sufficient to allow for the debts of 

 wholesale merchants. The same amount is 

 sufficient allowance for consumers and retail- 

 ers. The commercial debt of the State in ordi- 

 nary times is not over $60,000,000. But in 

 these extraordinary times it will be safe to say
