Coruwnus, Jan, 2—The General Assembly met to-day, at 3 p. m. Governor Noyes trans- mitted his annual message_to the Assembly this evening. It shows the following facts, figures, and recommendations : ‘The outstanding public debt of Ohto on Nov. 15, 1872, was 86,583,000 The local indebtedness of'the Stato on the 1st day of Beptember, 1873; ‘was 28 follows : Net debt of countfes $ 5,756,430.00 Nt debt of townshi g debts crested by Boards of Education, otlier ... ihan for separato school disaricts...... 447,208.10 ‘Not debt of eities of the first snd socond et debi of in iod Vil Net debt of sch el sy - $17,690,547.97 unt of the ursable dobt, Btate and local, thorofore, is $26,174,094.84, to which add irreddcible_debt, 84,023,475.03, and wo have tho aggregate debts in the State, $80,197,569.97. In this statement stho Stato debt is reckoned to Nov. 15,1872, and to the local indebtedness nbove st forth is to bo added for debts created in aid of railroad enterpriscs under what is known as the Boasel law, up to Jan. 1, 1873, not less than 4,000,000 more.

Delinquencios and forfeitares. Total. £23,610,971.97 In rolation to local indobtodnoss, the Gover- 2oz 8s7s this evil continuos and grovs upon us, and is not likely to bo diminished until a remedy shall bo found in positive prohibitory legal onnatmonts, or in constitutional provisions abso- Iutely forbidding local publio debts. During_-the year, 275 miles of railroad have been ' cobstructed, and’ rails Juid oo 872 miles sdditional, snd charters have boon granied for constructing 4,000 miles more. The Governor eays railronds should be built when our advautages to bo de- rived therefrom overbalance tho costs, but cau- tion may be necessary lest Somo citics, towns, and villages may burdon themselves with debts for which thore will bo no_sdequate return. A recommondation is mado for an appropriation to allow o thorough examination of ll rail- zoad bridgas in tho State. The following is » gencral statement of Stato war sccount with tho United States Total presentod for paymeat. Totsl paid.... Tn discussing the question of common achools, tho Govemor #aya tho necessity for codifying and roriaing the school lams of tho Stato hus been long felt and is now a most urgent public neod. The sentimont of prominent toachers in Ohlo seems to have approved the bill reported by tho House Commiltes on Schools 8t tho se- sfop Iast wintor. Attontion is Bpocially invited to tho e ects of Rormal astmation, Gouaty perintenden ywnship organizations, o8 modification of the district apy!tem. Tho Gov- emmor suggssta tho consolidation of o funds of Ohio snd Mismi Universitics 5088 to support one, 80 that the othor could b made a State Normal School e eays, unless somothing ia speedily done, both Universities must dio. 1e also Tecommonds genosous sppropristions for tho Gtato Agtical- ural College, and all publio benevolent and cor- rectional institutions ; recommends the passing of 5 1w which shall compel contractors on pub- i works te live Tp {o their contracts, and that ‘when a contractor faila to use reasonable dili- ence, that the work shall bo done by the Trus- ecs of tho publio works, and any oxcess of cost over tho estimates shall be charged to_tho origi- nal contractor. Radical ehanges are als0 rocom- ‘mended in the constrction of the cells of tho Ohio Penitentiary, 0 a3 to give tho convicts ‘more room and better air. Relative to the criminal “Iaw, » suggestion is mado thst the Isw bo 0 chaogéd eo s to pro- vido thst jurics shall fix tho grade of cume, ‘making more grades than exist at present, and that fess or no discretion be left with the Courts as to sentonces. During the yesr but_twonty convicts wors pardonod from the Penitentiary by the Governor. “Recommendations are made that the time for completing the geological survoy of the Stato b extondod one yoar, and that an appropriation be made, and action faken, relative to the improvo- ‘ment of tho navigation'of_tho Okio River; also, to co-operato with Congress to make the Contonnial Celebration s success. Attontion is called to the propriety of 60 amend~ ing the laws relativo to_the listing of property for taxation as to provido that merchants and manufacturers be taxod on seles rather than upon the monthly sverage of all marchandizo owned and held by them. Under the present Isws, privato bankers can doa largo buainess, 2y by a litle managing ouly pay taxes on ofics tdmituro. Relative to Insurance companies, the Governor says complafat iy made that the law Row in force, passed March 12, 1872, creating and rogulating the Insuranco Dopsrtment is unnoces-- earily sovero in its oporation on_insurance com- panies of the State. Section 9 of the law makes |’ tho duty of the Superintendent in caso the net sagets of any company are reduced more than 20, per cont to roquire of tho officors that they di- Toct tho stockholders to pay in the amount of doficiency within such poriod 28 ho may desig- nate in his requisition. Section 11 makes it Iawful for such company toissuo anynew policies or transact any now _businoss _after tho Superintendont shall have issued his requisitiop. An amendment is euggested by tho Superintendont of Insurance taat it shall bo lawfal for a company to_continte busi- ness for » ressonsble time, say twonty days after_servica of the requisition, providing is impairmont shall mot sscoed fifty per cont o Commissioner very properly says this would firo euch company s chisnce to recover while it s gomo vitality, B its businoss during the timo’ indicated in the requisition dostzoys confidence, and readers it slmost i~ possiblo to resume again to any profit. Con- sidering tho unparalleled misforiunes which have oppreesd the insurance compsnies within the past year, tho suggestion of the Superinten- dent of Insurance would seem to have grost force. Attention is called to the imporianco of furthor laws for the protoction of the lives of conl miners ; slo for the modication of fhe Iawa regulating incorgorated companics. = e Governor further suggosts that upon all subjects which are likelyto come before tho Con- stitutional Committes, it would bo woll for the Ganeral Assombly to postpone legislation, as that body will undoubtedly make many changes in our fundamental lsws.

Severnl Thousand Dollars’ Worth of Property Consumed in the West Divislon. Between 12 and 1 o'clock, this morning, when the storm was almost at its hoight, fire broke out in the triangular-shsped four-story brick building at the corner of Milwaukes avonue and Desplaines streot. The Firs Departmant was promptly notified by an alamm from Box 267, and responded with commendable baste. Thoso flerce west winds, which occasionslly sweep over the city, make the “boya” jump around pretty lively. As soon as Aesistant Marshal Mershom observed the pro- portions of tho firo, ho wiscly docided to give a second slarm; the Right s too windy to de- poud upon a few engines. Before the flames Swere subdued, the first and second floors were alnost entirely destroyed, and the third floor wes considerably dsmoged. Fortuuately for those living in the vicinity, the burning building wes almost in the centrs of & brick Tow, and the fire did not bave a chance to spread. Otherwise, n_serious _confiagration would undoubtedly have resulted, ss the sur- roundiny blocks ate comstructed of wood. 'Tho fira originated in No. 5 Milwankes avenue, next door to the Hotel Danmark, which is crowded with boarders. The building is owned by Frank Kuhn, who occupies Nos. 1 and 8 2a a liquor store. His place of business was damagod probably 2200. ~ He estimates the dam- &i‘ to the building at $2,500; po insurance, e first floor was occupied a8 a clothing store by a German Jew named Lebracht. His stock was entiroly deatroyed. Its value comid not be ascertainod, but it is said that he had between £6,000 and 28,000 worth of goods on hand before New Year's. Ho is fully insured, Lut the amount and company is not known. The second flaor was occupied by M. Petorson, a merchant tailor. His loss was between $£3,000 abd 35,0005 insur- anco unknown. The third floor was used as a ball by the Nova Hocioty. Loss on furniture, &., probably §200; insurance unknown. The fourth floor was occupied by a tailor named Stevenson, who lost little or nothing. The cause of the fire was not discovered, but it is strongly suspected that it had its origin in in- cendiatism. AMUSEMENTS. ACTICKEL'S THEATRE. In tho faco of a drizzling rain and & most disa- greeablo condition of things under foot, a largo and fine looking audience found its way to Mc- Vicker's 1ast evening, to witness Charlotto Cush- ‘man's first appoarance in the memorablo charac- ter of Queen Katherine in Shakepearo's great play of “King Henry VIIL” The long line of carrisges which thronged the entrance to tho theatre amply attested tho quality of tho atten- dance, and proved how thoroughly have been awakencd tho more critical and discriminating among Chicago theatre-goers bytho engsgement of Miss Cushman. _Presentations of *Henry 'VIIL" have becn extremely few and far botween in Chicago, or in Americs or England for the ‘matter of thst, and for the reason, chiefly, it is ‘maintained, that it is not easy to find actresaes who can be induced to undertake the rols of Queen Kafherine, much less those who profoes to be able to do justice to it. It is conceived by many, both actors and critics, to ‘be the moat difficult and exacting of Shakspeare's female roles, even a8 it is regarded 53 one of the greatest, if not the greatest, of his creations. Doctor Johnson in his review of the play says that * the meek sorrows and virtuous distress of Katherine have furnished some scenes which may bo justly numbored among tho greatest efforts of tragedy." Ho saya of the second sceno of the fourth act—that in which the broken-hesrted Quecn takes leave of her wait- ing-women—that “it is sbove any other of Shakspeare's tragedics, and, perhaps, above any scone of any other poet; tender and pathetic, withont gods, or furies, or poisons, orprecipices; without the help of romantic circumstances, withont any improbable ellies of pootical lamentation, and without any throes ef tamuliuous misery.” In Miss Cushman’s hands this scene i tinged with a pathos and sadness almost - ppressive, 2nd the beholder experionces a feeling of relief when tho “moat unhappy lady” breathes her last. Next to this scene, in point of intensity, is Katherine's interview with the two Cardinals, in which Miss Cushman reaches s grand climax of dramatic effect by her matchless action and clocution. Tho trial ecene was given with great dignity and impressiveness, her exit from tho Chamber being 8 marvel in stage ‘‘business.” A striking pocnliarity of the impersonation was the impression which it gave of force repressed and power subdued. Though often urged to the extreme point of breaking forth into violent anger and denunciation, she always stops short of that—always a splendid example of patience. Tho rendition bas few or none of the atrong, pronounced elements which ususlly appertain to tragedy; it is eubdued, eorrowfal, sad throughont, tesching a most pathtic. lesson of womanly virtue and Christian resignation. It is no wonder that the role is 8o seldom essa) Lacking tho genius, almost inspiration, of Miss Cushman's conception of the character, it muat prove the merest failure, but under her touch it becemes a thingfof absorbing interest, a sub. ject for refisction, and one to which a hasty an- alysia fails to do justice. Hor Support was more than nnua.l]{ even and excellont. Mr. Leviek has ovidently made a close stady of Wolsey, and s well grasped the strong character points of the crafty Cardinal. Ho was evidently suffering from bosrsoness 1ast evening, and did mot exs hibit his customary, command of voice. Afr.
