A backwoods Judge thus clearly defines the crime of murder: ' Murder, gentlemen, is where a man is murderously killed. The killer in such ease is a murderer. Murder by poison is as much murder as murder with a gun. It is the murdering which constitutes mur der in the eye of the law. You will bear in mind that murder is one thing and man slaughter another. Therefore, it is not manslaughter, it must lie murder. Self murder has nothing to do with this case. One man cannot commit Jtlo de se on an other—that is clearly my view. Gentle men, I think you can have no difficulty. Murder, 1 say, is murder. The murder of a father is fratricide ; but it is not fratri cide if a man murders his mother.

To the Senate and House of' Representatives oj the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania: GENTLEMEN — I had intended, immediately after my induction into office, to communi cate with you on the subject of the pnblic debt, and exhibit the actual financial con dition of the Commonwealth at that period. After the necessary examination, however, 1 discovered that J could not do so with the precise accuracy which should characterize the statements of an official communication. There are outstanding debts on the public works, unpaid claims, and balances of ap propriations for last year, the amount of which could not be ascertained in time for this purpose. 1 am, therefore, f regret to say, compelled to forego the performance of this duty until the meeting of the next Legis lature. 1 cannot, however, refrain from ex pressing the views I entertain, and the anxi ety 1 feel, on a few subjects connected with the financial and other affairs of the State. There is now due and unpaid two millions four hundred and ninety-one thousand two hundred and fifty-live dollars of the bonds of the Commonwealth, bearing an interest of six per cent., and a balance of nearly one hundred thousand dollars due to domestic creditors, bearing a like rate of interest be sides one million three hundred and ninety thousand dollars at live per cent.; over two millions will fall due in 1853, and about three millions in 1854. 1 respectfully suggest to the Legislature the propriety of making provision for the cancellation of the matured bonds, and such as may fall due during the Cuming year, by authorizing the State Treasurer to negotiate loans for that purpose, and issue the bonds of the Commonwealth, reimbursable at the expiration of ten or fifteen years, at a rate of interest not exceeding five per cent., with interest certificates attached, or in the usual form, as may he deemed proper. The pres ent reduced rates of interest in Europe, and the abundance of money in the principal cities of this country, afford ample assurance that such loans can be negotiated at a rate of interest much below that which the State is now bound to pay on these bonds. lam fully satisfied, by information which has reached me through private as well as public sources, that the bonus of the State, exempted from taxation, could be negotiated at such rat- of interest as to make a very desirable saving to the Treasury. It is not- so much the present rate of tux on the bonds, that would injure the value of new ones, as the sensitive apprehension, entertained by capi talists, that such rate of taxation might, at some future time, be increased. Besides these inducements to cancel the matured bonds, we should not forget, that it is not befitting a great and prosperous State like Pennsylvania to have a matured and unpaid debt resting upon her. Such a state of affairs is not consistent with her dignity and pride, and is well calculated to have an injurious effect upon her credit. Her ability to pay cannot be doubted, and the fidelity with which her people have ever responded to every reasonable demand to sustain her credit, has excited unlimited confidence in her integrity amongst the capitalists of this country and Europe. 1 therefore most re spectfully submit this subject to your con sideration. The receipts into the Treasury for the year 18-Tl, deducting the temporary loan of $98.- 200, amounted to $4,472,303, 03, and tlie expenditures for the same year, to $4,- 780,007, 53, or $308,364, 40 more than the whole receipts, in this expenditure is in cluded $185,138,91, which was paid to the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, and can not, therefore, be properly regarded as an ex penditure, as it was used to cancel a like amount of the funded debt—leaving an actu al balance against tiie Treasury of $123, 225 40. After full consultation with the financial officer of the State, and a careful examination of the data which he has kindly placed within my reach, 1 have arrived at the conclusion that the receipts and expenditures for the current year may be estimated as follows, to wit: Receipts,s4,32s,ooo, expenditures, $4,027,- 000, leaving a ballancc of receipts over ex penditures of $208,000 —including in this ex penditure, an estimated payment to the com missioners ut the sinking fund of $220,000. But it should be observed, that in the expen ditures for last year there is included the sum of $442,106, applied to the North Branch canal, and $30,000 for the inclined planes on the Portage road and the \\ estern reservoir; making in all, $472,106 expended on new work during the last season. It will be seen, however, by reference to the State Treasurer s report, that the balance in the Treasury on the Ist of December, 1850, was $754,252, 81, whilst at the sumo period of the year 1851, the balance was but $543,970 21, being a difference against the Treasury for this year of $210,252 60, which sum, together with the $300,000 of temporary loan, to be paid out of the receipts of the present year, amount to $510,253 6<, being $38,155 69 more than all the payments for new work, and on this data the balance in the Treasury at the end of this year is reduced to $250,841 10. I litis it will appear that, should no accident occur to the public works during the present sea son, we may reasonably anticipate a surplus revenue of between two and three hundred thousand dollars. Should the improvements, however, be visited by anything like the ex tent of damage which befell them during the last year, this balance would be reduced to a sum too meagre to deserve notice. It is, therefore, apparent that we cannot rely upon the surplus revenue of the Treasury, during the current year, for the means to prosecute the work on the North Branch and the Por tage railroad, with that vigor which the inte rest of the State seems to demand. r remarked, at the time of iny induction into office, that 1 regarded the speedy com pletion of the North Branch canal as consis tent with the truest principles of economy. The examination which I have given the subject since that time, has tended greatly to increase my confidence in the truthfulness oi that declaration. In this view, I seem to concur in opinion with my able and cxperi- eneed predecessor, who took occasion to re commend this subject to the favorable con sideration of the Legislature in his last annual message. The policy of resuming the prose cution of this work is r.o longer an open and need not now be discussed. This question was settled by tlie Legislature of 1849, since which time about $650,000 have been expended on the work ; all of which, together with two and a half millions origi nally expended, and the amount of retained per centage, and the usual damages to the contractors on the abandonment of the work, must be entirely lust, unless the canal be completed. The whole length of this im provement is ninety-four miles, fifty miles of which are lully completed, and the remain ing forty-four are under contract, or ready to be put under contract so soon as the Le gislature may make provision for the payment "f the same. According to the estimate of William ]. Foster, the experienced engineer on that line, $772,01)0 will be sufficient to complete it : and that, should the means be promptly furnished, the whole line may be brought into use in the early part of next season. Can it be doubted for a moment that the net annual receipts on this work will largely exceed the interest on this meagre sum? I am confident that those who have given the subject the least attention, will not hesitate on this point. 1 confidently believe that they will be-ufficicnt not only to do this, but a!o to pay the interest on the $650,000 expenaed sine 1849. and on the two and n halt millions expended prior to 1.141, and leave a balance to go into the Treasury be sides. I need not give you my reasons in detail for this opinion, 'i'he data on which it rests has been presented to you in more forcible terms than I could employ. It re quires but a glance at the operations on the completed part of that improvement—at the vast district ol country which would be sup plied with anthracite coal through the medi um of this canal—the vapidly increasing consumption of this article wherever it has been brought into use—to satisfy the most incredulous mind that the tonnage on this improvement must, in a few years, be almost equal to its capacity. Some twenty-five counties of the Btato of New York, rich, pop ulous and growing, embracing a number of incorporated cities, now paying high prices for fuel, would be supplied with this article for domestic, mechanical and manufacturing purposes; in return for which, the canal would, to some extent, be freighted with salt, plaster, Ac. The growth of the anthracite coal business in the State is almost incredi ble. If we may be allowed to take this in crease as a data on which to base an estimate of the future business ol this canal, it will more than equal the expectations of its most sanguine friends. We enn scarcely realize i the fact, that the operations in this article i have grown from 800,000 tons in 1840, to near 4,500,000 tons in 1851, and in all prob ability the amount will exceed five millions for the current year. If, then, it be so apparent that the income from this work will pay the interest on its i cost and leave a surplus for the use of the j Treasury besides ; wise policy would seem to dictate its speedy completion. 1 most re- , speetfully and earnestly urge upon you the ' favorable consideration of this subject at the earliest day possible. The time for doubt and delay, it seems to me, has gone by.— This work must either be finished, or over ) three millions of the people's money, already j expended on it, must be thrown away. To j depend upon the present means of the Trea sury would, I am confident, lead to vexatious and injurious delay. The sum necessary to I complete it should, and I am assured can he j obtained on a loan, at a rate of interest not ; exceeding five per cent, reimbursable at sueli period as the revenue, therefrom, shall have reached the amount of the interest and prin cipal. I am aware that there is a proper sensitiveness in the minds of the people, on the subject of borrowing money, and 1 am sure that I should not recommend a fly ineas- j ores that would have the effect of increasing : their burthens. But I sincerely believe that tiie tendency of this measure will be to les son. rather than increase them—that it is the best financial measure the Legislature can, i at present, adopt—that its ultimate tendency j will be t-> aid the Treasury in the liquidation ! of the present debt, certainly much more so, than the alternative of allowing the sum al- J ready expended to be lost. The completion of the work will also give an impetus to the , growth and prosperity of the northern por- > tion of the State—would invite men and mo ney into that rich section of the Common wealth, and would be an act of justice to the people of that region, who have ever, with a tru<- spirit of loyalty and generosity, contrib- I uted their proper share towards sustaining the honor and dignity of the State. The importance of prompt and efficient ac- j tion on this subject, cannot be over-rated.— The citizens of the State of New York, who j intend to construct the connecting link be tween our improvements arid the Chemung canal, in that State, should have early assu- j ranee that our improvement will be coniple- 1 ted. Business men who desire to operate on this line, will not make the proper arrange ments to do so until ample provision is made for its completion. Every consideration of interest and economy, it seems to mc, dictates , prompt and efficient action on this question. The avoidance of the inclined planes on ; the Allegheny Portage railroad was also j commenced under the late administration, and in mv opinion is a necessary work and should be prosecuted to completion as rapidly as the means of the Treasury will permit. It is an important link in our main line of improvements, and has ever bceu—and un less the planes are avoided—will continue to be, a source of heavy expenditure and great , delay and danger in the transportation of tonnage. The annual expenditures to keep these planes in order has been extremely heavy. It is estimated that near a hundred thousand dollars would be saved yearly, in the expenses of this railroad, were the use of the planes dispensed with. One hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars was im propriated for this purpose, by the la*t Le gislature. The old material on the road is counted at a value of $248,650 (Kb This with the additional sum of $501,350 00, it is esti mated by Mr. Paries, the engineer en that line, will accomplish this desirable end. I ant also assured by the same officer, that with the necessary appropriation, four of the ten planes, may be avoided during the coming season. In connection with this subject, 1 need scarcely remark, that our main liue of im provements is about to encounter a most pow erful rival for the tonnage of the West, in the Pennsylvania railroad, which work will probably be completed during the year 1853. l'he avoidance of the planes will do more, I am confident, to strengthen the main line against this competition, than any other im provement that can he made. 1 respectfully recommend this subject to your favorable consideration. '1 he absolute necessity for the expenditure of large sums of money to complete the im provements to which I have referred, will, 1 have no doubt, admonish you of the proprie ty of confining the appropriations to the low est possible point that the public service and the interest of the State u ill permit, inclu ding nothing for which it is not legally and morally bound to provide. Rigid cconomv iu the expenditures is indispensibly necessa ry to sustain the credit of the State—fulfil the engagements she has already made, and meet the reasonable expectations of the peo ple. The public improvements of the State are one <d our principal sources of revenue, and should at all times receive the special care of the Legislature. Every proper effort should he made to increase the receipts and lessen the expenditures on these works. 1 have not had the opportunity of giving the subject of their management that thorough examination which is indispeusibly necessary to the for mation of a correct opinion in reference to the details of their operation. But i have long entertained the opinion, that no action of the Legislature could have a more salutary •-fleet upon their management than the adop tion of the cash system in paying for the la bor and materials necessary to keep them in successful operation. It is, in iuy opinion, to the louse custom of contracting debts now in practice, as much, if not more than to any other defect in the present system, may be attributed their failure to meet the expecta tions of the people as a source of revenue. The most vigilant efforts of the officers could not prevent the payiueut of exorbitant prices for labor and materials, if obtained on credit. The State always pays dearly for such ac commodations. „ Besides, this custom affords the opportunity of most palpable imposition, ii not actual frauds upon the State. The vert" idea of a set of officers being allowed to throw the credit of the Commonwealth broadcast to be taken up at some future period, by some body else, is almost startling. 1 regard it as a most dangerous policy, calculated to beget a spirit of careless prodigality in the man agement of public affairs, and to invite impo sitions upon the Treasury. It should, in uiv opinion, be abandoned at the earliest day possible. I therefore, respectfully suggest the propriety of fixing a period bylaw, after which the officers on the public works shall not be allowed to contract debts for any pur pose whatever—directing the disbursing offi cers to make monthly statements of their ac counts to the Canal Commissioners, showing the amount of money disbursed and the ma terial purchased ; and requiring all outstand ing accounts to be presented to the Canal Commissioners or Auditor General for settle ment. I .aider a cash system the actual in debtedness of the State could, at all times, be readily ascertained, which would be a great convenience for the Legislature, as well as a satisfaction to the people. In the in troduction of a new system of this kind, care should be taken to place at the command of the proper officer the necessary means to carry it into operation. It might be well, also, to take some action on the subject of claims for damages incurred in the construction of our public improve ments. This subject should be finally dis posed of. Although many years have passed by since the construction of these works, every year brings out some new item of this kind. Much of the time of the Legislature and the Canal Commissioners, is occupied in the examination of these claims, and for the last ten or twelve years they have absorbed the means of the Treasury to the extent of from fifty to eighty thousand dollars annual ly. 1 am informed that claims are now be ing pressed for damages which it is alleged the Commonwealth incurred more than twen ty years sinee. It must be a most difficult task for the Canal Commissioners to ascer tain all the facts in eases so long deferred. 1 suggest the propriety of disposing of this subject by some summary mode of procced ing. In conclusion 1 beg to be indulged in a suggestion on the subject of special legisla tion. 1 am confident that the General As sembly will agree with me, that some reform on this subject is much needed. The vol umes of our laws for the sessions of 1850 and 51, compared with those of previous years, shows that our legislation is increasing to an alarming degree. By reference to those vol umes, for the years 1 have named, it will be seen that but a comparatively small portion of the laws they contain arc of a general character, being mainly for local or private purposes. These volumes when compared with the statutes enacted eight or ten years sinee, or with those annually enacted bv Con gress, or any of our sister States, swell into an astonishing magnitude. This evil is on the increase, and it seems to me that a rem edy is imperiously called for. Much may be doioe to arrest this evil by the adoption of a few well digested general laws. For the pur pose of attaining this desirable end, I respect ively suggest for your consideration, the pro priety ot constituting a commission of two or three experienced legal gentlemen, whose duty it shall be to prepare general iaws to meet this object, to bo submitted to the con sideration of the next Legislature. I know from experience how difficult it is for the rep resentatives of the people, after tlieir arrival at the seat of government, to find the neces sary leisure and privacy to enable them to prepare and digest intricate general laws. — Each day seems to bring its labors upon them, and the sessiou runs by before a sub ject of this kind can receive the necessary consideration. I\ew Series—Vol. C>—l\o. 23. The subject of regulating election districts, naming election houses, which annually oc cupies much of the time of the Legislature, and many pages of the Journal and statute books, might be safely confided to the com missioners of the respective counties. The •subject ot divorces should, it seems to me, be 1 left entirely with the courts, as well, also, as the whole subject of selling real estate by trustees, guardians and those acting in a rep resentati\e capacity. These measures, toge j ther with a few more general statutes on the subject of corporations, would, I think, have a most salutary effect o n legislation. As far as possible our laws should bo general, and j those that are so should be sternly maiutain i ed against special innovations. WM. BIGLER.
