ADEHESS OP GOVESNOIi GEAUT,
To th.9 Praoman of Pennsylvania.
Fellow Citizens : In receiving tbo
various testimonies of confidence which
have been conferred upon mo by the people
of my native State, I am deeply sensible of
the circumstances under which they have
benn bestowed, and of tho corresponding
duties and responsibilities imposed upon
nio durini; tho fulfilment of my term of tho
Chief Executive office in your State Gov
ernment. ?."otvithstandinr a heart anima
ted with pure and upright, intensions to
wards the welfare of tho Cotnmonwealth.nnd
with all the faculties allotted to me unceas
ingly devoted to its service, J feel deeply
conciou.i that I stand in nsed of yours in
dulgence, whil.i I thus exercise one of the
prerogatives ot the position of Governor
to address the people when in bis opinion
he is justified by circumstances oficctinir
their wi-lfarc and interests , and to expect
from them an honest, caudod and liberal
support in return.
With such circumstances now before the
people of Pennsylvania, I feel that I would
berecteant to my duty, ungrcatful to a
generous people, and untrue to myself, if
I should fail to express to you my opin
ions upon a subject of public concern,
which demaads from you immediate atten
tion, and prompt, intelligent und indpend-
cut action.
The inviolabillity of the Sinking Fund,
by which your public debt is to be reduced
and fiually cxiinguii-hcd, must be main
tained against all attacks upon it, whether
open or secret ! public debt is not a
blessing but an evil ! an evil not to be
measured by tho amount of tho direct pe
cuniary burden it imposes upou the people,
but by its whole effect, the entire amount
ufuilits consequences. Tlic'o consequen
ces have been pointed out so fully by the
fathers of the ri.pv.Mic, and by the most
rc'iable wi iters upon political economy ; and
1 conviction of them, is so deeply impressed
ou the minds ot all n flecling men, that I
need not recaiiitulate them, nor insist even
upon their existence.
Thf state debt must bo paid ; paid
honestly aud to tho utmost iartliiug, and as
soon as it can reasonably be done to this
ductritva I am irrevocably pledged in every
possible manner and the credit of the
State must be kept up to its highest point,
iu order that this important object may be
most readily accomplished. No belief or
suspicion of bad faith or profligacy, on our
part, should be ptrmittcd to get abroad ot
to divide the slightest support or counte
nance lrom tho conduct of our government
in any of its branches. It should bo un
derstood everywhere that wo have an in
corrttptablo and faithful judiciary ; a Leg
islature and an Executive disposed to work
together, and to co-opcratc heartily in
maintaining the honor of the Common
wealth. The operation of the Sinking Fund was
temporarily interrupted, or rather weak
ened, by the recent war, but by tho bles
sing of Heaven upon the patriotic efiorts
of the uation, tho days of peaco have re
turned. There can non bo no excuse for
diverting from that fund any of the uiouies
pledged to it by tho Constitution and the
laws, nor for tampeting in any manner
with its regular administration.
But it is known to you that a bold and
daring attempt was made in the Legisla
ture duriug its last session, to invade the
Treasury and seize the proceeds of tho sale
of tho public works of the State, deposited
there, in the Sinking Fund, for the use of
certain affiliated corprations of this common
wealth, and that that attempt wa3 defeated
only by the interposition of tho executive
veto. This was to me an ungracious and
uupleasant task.to resist the majority in the
Lcgilatuie composed of Senators aud Bep
escntatives chosen by you, utder the reg
ular forms of tho constitution, presumably
for their intelligence and iutegrity j and it
was inexpedient, perhaps, as a question of
persoual interest and case, that I should in
cur thb hostility of powerful enemies by the
eourso adopted. But I Baw before me the
open path of duty, pointed out by the clear
words of the Constitution and by my oath
of office; and I did not hesitate to tieat the
subject with firmness and action which the
urgency of the case required.
The bill to distribute the securities in
the Sinking Fund among several newly in
corporated railroad companies, and to sub
stitute for them very inferior, if not utterly
worthless obligations, was sent to me only
on the day next preceeding the final ad
journment of the Legislature, although it
had passed both Houses about two weeks
before. Borrowing time from tho usual
hours of rest, I was enabled, the next mtr-
ning to reutrn the bill with my objections
to the House in which it had originated.
There its ftirrlicr consideration was post
poned, aDd no .final judgment upon it was
pronounced.
It stands now among the open questions
which may be re vived at a future session.
It may again bo introduced and passed next
winter or at any subsequent time, without
cuibarrasmont from any prior decision of
either House, against it. And if the mem
bership of both Houses shall be so mado up
at any time that a two-third voto for the
measuro can bo obtained in each, its en
actment into a law ill become certain,
aud the burden of your taxes will be inev
itably increased and prolongd.
An Executive veto is ia the nature of an
appeal to the people, to ctiable them to pass
upon controverted questions involving grave
cousiderations nf public or safety. Upon
a question of this kind, in which every man
woman and child in the Commonwealth is
interested, this great prerogative of the Ex
ecutive, conferred by tho Constitution,
should be fearlessly exercised. Is not this
such an ocasion ? Is not tho subject to be
considered vitally important ? Is it not ur
gent that you should determine it for your
selves, in the selection of men to represent
you in tho Legislature of 1871 ?
Be this as it may, this qticr.tion is in fact
submitted for your judgment. The issue
upon it was distinctly and openly made at
tho last session between tho Legislature
nnd tho Executive, and that issue is now
before you for your arbitrament, and you
should instruct your Representatives in each
and every county, in accordance with your
wishes and determination upon this import
ant subject.
. Should you, by jour indiiTercr.ee to the
juestion, or by a carelefs and uncalcula-
ting choice of the persons to represent ycu
in tho Leilaturo, encourage and strength
en the combination of men who desire and
threaten to invade your treasury, rest -assured
that the vast fund now sacredly de
voted to the payment of the public debt
wi'l be seized nnd carried off.
The utne aim a nan unmmi ,. jn-.-i
securities in that fund, with all tho interest
to accrue thereon, will bo voted away from
tho people's treasury ; the Ptatc credit will
be prostrated ; yoir taxes will be increased.
and your Executive will bo impotent to
help you. If, ou tho contrary, alive to
your interests and honor, you sustain the
appeal sent to you from the Executive
Chamber, and you are now about to select
your candidates for Representatives, you
should determine to re-nfflrm, with empha
sis, the command of tho Constitution ; that
"no part of the said Sinking Fund shall be
used or applied otherwise than in the ex
tinguishment of tho public debt," you will
strike a just, pevcre and timely blow at cor
rupt legislation and protect yourselves
agaiust grievous pecuniary losi.
The lesson will not bo lost. It3 salutary
effect will be preat and lasting. Both for
the present and the future it will improve
the tone of public morals; repress the un
blushing effrontery and corruption of tho
lobby 5 curtail tbo infiuenco of arrogant
corporations ; and secure the siuccro com
mendation of all good and patriotic men.
The assault upon tho treasury, in the
passage of tho uiuo and a half million bill.
though the most conspicuous example of
the evil influences of corporations upon the
Legislature, is not the only one. It possesses
pre-emiuent importance, but it does not
stand alone. Then, fellow-citizens, has not
the time come for determining the ques
tion of title to soverign power in this Com
monwealth ? Is that power a rightful and
inuefeasable estate of the people, or does
it reside in inoorported companies created
by our laws ? Will you, with your eyes
pen, consciously surrender the centrol over
your own representatives, and give your
consnt that oir porations shall desido your
laws? Shall your Government be pure, pa
triotic and just, truo to yourselves and true
to souud principles of administration ; or
shall it be the instrument of corporato am
bition and avurice, and an object of public
jet, ridicule and reproach ? Or, in other
words shall corporations supercede the (jov
ernmcntand become the masters of the peo
ple? And now, my fellow citizens, with this
warning, I leave this important subject in
your hands; trusting that you will be in
spired with the will and the resolution to
defend the integrity of your government
and to preserve unsullied the credit aod
the honor ot the Commonwealth.

Singular Case of Insanity.
The Detroit Free I'reai gives a most re
markable case of insanity. It seems that
Lawrence Rapps, living near Monroe, be
cime deranged, being subject to fits of
melancholy and weeping. He continued
to grow worse until it became necessary to
send him to the asylum at Kalamazoo. On
u edncBdny morning George G. Streeter
was to start with the unfortunate man for
the asylum, but felt that ho should need
assistance, and Christopher Rapps, brother
of the crazy man, volunteered to accom
pany Streeter. Tho Free Press says :
Un tlio train the two brothers had a seat
together directly in front of the officer, and
it was noticed that tho insane man grew
constantly calmer, while Christopher grew
moro and more excited. He continned to
groan and weep, deploring tho calamity
that was so soon to sepcrato the two per
haps, forever, and refused to be comforted
by the sympathetic and cheering words of
the officer. Lawrence had now and then
a glimpse of reason, and, when the trio got
off for dinner at the junction, was
the coolest of the two. They all sat down
to tho hotel dinning table,' the officer be
tween the brothers. The table was filled
with men women and children, pas
sengers on the train which stood opposite
the door. The meal had only commenced,
when Christopher, tho sane brother, sud
denly uttered a loud scream of sorrow and
dispair which startled every one, causing
.... ...
every cnees to turn pale As he arose
from tho table dashed tho officer aside as
ono might a child, and then tho two insane
brothers locked together in a mad struggle.
Up and down they whirled, shrieking.kick-
ing, striking, pulling, each one a giant in
strength, each oue a demon in his hate.
Tho strongest men trembled aud pushed
away from the strange scene, the women
screamed and fled, and for a moment or
two there was such a spcctable there as
one never witnessed in his lifetime. The
mad brothers struggled and writhed, now
ono down then the other, until some ot the
passeugers cried "shoot them 1" The offi
cer, coolest of all, because ho saw that all
fWended nn him. mado several efforts to
seperato the combatcnts, which was accom
plished by Lawrence seiziug his brother's
hat and springing though tho crowd to the
door. He went straight aboard the train,
clambering on top ot the cars. Christo
pher was thrown down aud bound, aud
then came a struggle to secure the other
brother and take him from the car. The
feat was at length accomplished, and then
ho was tied hand and toot and left at the
hotel while Streeter came on to this city
with Christopher. Tho victim was locked up
at the Central Station while the officer re
turned to go forward with the other, and
will return to day and take this one to Jlon
roc. The yells and shrieks of the poor fel
low confiecd at the station were enough to
make one tremble, and he jumped and
bounded against the door of his cell in a
way that shook the building. The whole
incident is ot the straugest that has occur
red for a long time, and but for the torn
clothes and scratches exhibited by the of
ficer,' and the shrieks aud yells of tho last
victim of the fearful disease, might seem
ike a romance.

Buying it Horse and Buggy.
The following originally appeared in tho
Buffalo Express. It is very good and will
bear many repetitious;
C Tj an attache of one of the Penn
sylvania railroads, but well known in Buf
falo as an inveferr.tc praatical joker, hap.
pened in Cleveland the other day, and tho
weather being mild and warm, he conceived
the happy idea of taking the fair object of
his adoration out ridinjt, Denning his best
suit, he started post hasfe for the nearest
livery stable. Me was a partial stranger in
the vicinity, and tho livery stable keeper,
not knowing him, and imagining possibly,
from tho stato of nervous excitement in
which he prerentcd himself, that 'some
thing was up,' refused to let him take a
horso aud buggy.
'But,' remonstrated C P, 'I am
good for a dozen horses and buggies.'
'Very well, then, leave me security,' de
manded the suspicious livery man.
'How much do you consider your darn'd
rig worth ? angrily asked our iriend.
'About 350.'
'If I buy it now and pay you $350 ia
cash, will von agree to buy it back for tho
same sum when I get through With it V
asked C p.
Centainly, sir,' politely responded the
owner, who' thought he saw a chance for a
ood bargain.
'All right. Hero's your money;' and
jumping into the vehicle, C p drove
off to the residenco of his expectant An
gelina.
Of course she was ready, and of course
a pleasant drive was enjoyed. Up one and
down another of those beautifully laid-out
avenues ot Cleveland they rodej breathing
the fresh and balmy atmosphere of a glo
rious spring day, admiring the hondsome
residences which lino the streets, C P
talking sweet nonsense all the while, and
Angelina looking as if she felt transported
to tho seventh heaven of delight.
For two hours did the happy couple ride
and admire tho newly developed beauties
of nature, when the sinking sun reminded
our hero that oficial duties awaited his at
tention ; and leaving his fair companion at
ujo u , , .;ona U drove back to
tho livery stable.
Well,' said ho to the proprietor, 'you
sco I am here again, and presume you are
ready to huy this rig hack.,
'Yes, sir, I trust I am a man of my word,'
cooly responded that individual, at the
same time handing 0 p $350 in
greenbacks, which our friend quietly stowed
away in his pocket, and was moving off,
when
'Hold 00 here,' cried the livery man,
'you haven't paid for your two hours' uso
of this 'ere horse and buggy 1'
'What do you mean V in turn responded
C p. 'Didn't I buy that Lorse and
buggy of you two hours ago ?'
'Yes.'
'Well, then what in creation do you mean
by asking me to pay for the use of my owfl
rig V retorted C p, as he moved off
with well-assumed indignation, while the
stable hands and bystauders smiled audibly.
A late judge was a noted wag. A young
lawyer was once making his first effort be
fore him, and had thrown himself on the
wings of his imagination far into the upper

'Hold on, bold on, my dear sir 1 Don't go
any higher, for you are already out of the
jurisdiction of the court."
Why should we celebrate Washington's

A joung lady who was rebuked by ber

the act by quoting the passage :
