State of the Commonwealth Message ot
the Hon. A. CJ. Cnrtln.
Thk health of bis Excellency Governor
Cobtin has hecn so tar benefited by his vWt
to Havana, as to fit him for the resumption ot
bis Duties as Executive of the Common
wealth. Ills message, wh'ch wo publish elso
where, and which was read to the two
branches of the Legislature to-day, is the first
evldmce of his recuperated strength. We
must congratulate the Governor, but more
especially the people of Pennsylvania, on the
recovery of the man who has held with a firm
and nerveless arm the helm of the Common
wealth while all the land was being Inundated
by the waves of civil war.
The need of such a sentinel to watch their
interests, such a guardian to protect them
from danger, and such a politician as to be
able to win by policy where justice could not
be secured, has been felt for four years by our
giator tates. Happy was the Koystone of the
Federal Arch In having such a citizen as her
Executive. The Governor's health is. we
understand, almost entirely restored by his
visit to a warmer climate, and having, by his
Message, offieially recommenced his guberna
torial life, he will perform the duties of the
position with that fidelity and ability which
have ever marked his record in the past.
The Message reveals a condition of affairs
In our State most satislactory. The finances,
notwithstanding the bitter philippics utteroJ
against us by the New York journals, aro not
in a condition to merit alarm. In tact, the
report developes a financial phenomenon. The
condition of the trcatury is improved since
1861,or, in other words, the war which has been
suppressed, which has desolated our land aad
also added millions to our indebtedness, has(
in reality, Lad no deleterious influence on the
State in a monetary point of view ; bat the
self-sustaining energy of our Commonwealth
haa actually increased, the amount of debt
ever the assets lu the treasury from $23,403,103
to $23,852,589, or an improvement of $2,535,573.
This is a pleasing phenomenon, which merits
the congratulation of our citizens, and afford?
the best argument in favor of the continued
confidence which the people have always re
posed In the Government.
The Governor reviews the course of the
State, and gives a 6bort history of her con
duct during the war. Tito sketch is of in
terest, and aflords a cause of jjst pride, that
the citizens of the Coinmoumcalth, through
all the n'gbt of Rebellion, never faltered in
the cause of our nationality. It is of import
ance for our readers to fully understand all
that Pennsylvania has done. The number of
troops furnished the service from Pennsylva
nia, during the Rebellion, may be staled as
follows, viz.:
During tlio yoar 1S01 135 594
Do do ltjo'i 71 10J
Do oo 1803 43 OttJ
Do do 1864 i,7i'4
Do do 18t 25,840
And yet this statement does not Include the
militia or navy enlistments. But we cannot
revie w In full , the admirable Message. Pre
pared with care, corrcc, and exact in figures,
and written in the btyle of a model official
document, we commend it to the careful
perusal of our readers.confldentthat they will
join with us in commending Its tone, con
gratulating even its figures, and awarding to
lis author the doublo praise due a statesman
and a brilliant writer.
Trade with the South.
Those of our" business men who have
recently been taking upon themselves the
task of raising the necessary capital to estab
lish steamship communication between tais
city and several Southern ports, and those,
also, who have liberally subscribed to the
required fund, certainly deserve the cordial
thanks of this community. It is by no means
an agreeable labor to collect subscriptions for
a private or public enterprise of any kind,
nor has it ever been here a light and easy
labor to discharge. Our peoplo are not as
wide awake to their industrial and commer
cial interests as are those of New York and
Bob ton, or, at this time, even Baltimore ; and
it needs a great deal of stirring up ot the
dry bones among us to push a steamship pro
ject, especially, to a successful result. But
there are, Just now, peculiarly powerful
motives and inducements to stimulate our
manufacturers and merchants to unprece
dented efforts to build up our maritime trade,
and particularly that with the cities on our
Southern seaboard.
The present value and prospective growth
of that trade cannot be overestimated. The
South has not only a great deal to buy from
the North, but a great deal to sell to the North
in return. And this section is likely to be
very largely profited In both ways. That ex
tensive district of country which was the seat
and theatre of the late Rebellion found itself, at
the close of the war,ln an exceedingly enfeebled
and exhausted condition. Its industry was sus
pended, its commerce Interrupted, its rail
ways and other internal Improvements seri
ously damaged and kept out of repair, while
its entire people were reduced to extreme
destitution of all the luxuries, and even very
many of the necessaries, of life. There is,
therefore, in that quarter of the Union a vast
field In which the hungry are fo bo' ted, the J Tiik PnKsstiT ' Strfkt Btudor. Soido
naked clothed, and the general workof Indue- enterprising Individuals, laborinir under a
trial and commercial restoration must be pro- desire merely to establisu a point of law rela

may require several years to brio the South to bring' beiore the Supreme Court of the
back to that measure of prosperity which It
enjoyed before the RabelUon; and Its people,
for a while, at It ast, w'.ll have to look abroad
lor very mueh of the labor, the cipita'. aui
the material that will ba wanted to start them
in the hard struggle to retrieve their rulied j
fortunes and set them snuarelv on their feet
again.
The clear policy of tne people of the North
Is to help the Southern people to rebuild and
equip their dilapidated roads, bring their
farms and plantations agalu under cultivation,
revive their productive energies In all the use
ful arts ot peace, and re etabl sh their trade.
True patriotism and sound national economy
urge this course upon us. Every part of a
country benefits In the prospanty of the
whole, and the aggregate result of the harmo
nious co operation of its people in producing
and consuming, buying aad sellinj, and re
ciprocally supplying each, other's wants by
the exchanges of commerce, is the largest
possible general wealth, prosperity, and hap
piness. Moreover, the Southern States are too
fruitful In various natural pro lucts, not ob
tainable in equal abundance and with equal
facility and cheapness lrotn any other scource,
to be suffered to lie idle and unimproved.
The North needs their cotton, sugar, nce
tobacco, tar, rosin, turpentine, lumber, and
numerous other like staples and commodi
ties, and it is deeply interested In the resur
rection of an industry and a trade wh'ch will
secure us those important articles in exchange
for our manufactures, and so forth.
It is undoubtedly true that a people, as a
general rule, will send their eoods where they
get the best price for them, aad purchase their
i supplies where they can get them cheapest.
But trade, nevertheless, must take tne chan
nels that are open tcx.it, and seek the markets
that arc, by suoh means, most accessible to it
Bence, those Northern cities which most
promptly and most liberally facilitate com
munication with the Southern country, espe
cially by sea, will reap, of necessity, the
largest share ot the Sou them trade. There
can be no question about that fact. The pro
position is self-evident, and It is already find
ing its veriCcation in the heavy busiuess
which New York and Baltimore are now car
rying on through their steamship connections
with Southern ports. There is, indeed, here
acd there, an individual so blind and stupid
as to contend that the facilities of
commerce should not b supplied
until they are needed, or, in other wcrds, that
a railway or a line ot steamers connecting one
place vt ith other places ought not to be pro
vided until there is trade enough waiting tor
tbem in advanco to demand their use and to
fully Bustain them at once. It would be just
as wiso for a farmer to say that the grouud
lor the growth of his next year's crop of grain
should not be prepared until the crop is ma
tured. Such folly as this is hardly worthy of
notice. Uie fact is, that the.e is now mach
more trade needing shipment than there is
Ameiican shipping to accommodate it ; and
those cities at this end ot the Union which
first and most freely meet this necessity of
the Southern people for petting the merchan
dise they want, and sending to a market the
products they have to export, will find their
reward in the result.
In connection with this subject it is said,
and with considerable truth, that those who
would cultivate commercial Intercourse with
their neighbors, should not unnecessarily
oflend their pride or provoke their enmity.
Whatever severity of censure the Southern
Rebels meriied during the war, and will
ajways deserve from their honest friends, its
expression, now that the Rebellion is con
quered, and the Government is trying to re
construct the Union, may properly be pre
termitted altogether, or at least relieved from
all that coarseness of language and acri
mony ot invective which can do no possible
good henceforth, and must certainly seriously
injure those who indulge in it. The Southern
people made a fearful mistake in their insur
rection. They are sensible of it now, and
have been and are yet being terribly pun
nished lor their folly. There is no true mag
nanimity in forever t wilting them with their
crime and Its consequences. It is far more
manly and politic to. help the fallen to rise by
every just and generous aid we can render
them ; while every good citizen must desire,
by kindness and conciliation towards the
Southern people, to speedily and entirely re
store the unity of the nation.
Tiik Return of Sechktary Seward.
The people will be glad to learn that our
Secretary of State has returned from his trip
to the tropics in search of reinvigoration and
health. The experience through which this
venerable statesman has passed during the
past twelve month was sufficient to break
down the most robust constitution. Ills
labors have been great, but badinage to the
horrors through which he has passed. We can
scarcely conceive of any lite that has been
more sorrowful than that of Secretary Sew
abd. Crowned with every honor that a
grateful people could confer upon him,
he was yet visited by the sharpest
afflictions of Providence. Broken health, loss
of dear ones and intimate friends narrowly
escaping from the effects of the assassin's
knife complicated in the grandest and
bloodiest tragedy of modern times, it is not
wonderful that ne needed rest and recreation
for a brief period. But instantly on his return
he has buckled on the harness, and Is now en
gaged in the great public duties which call
fnr his immediate attention. We slncerelv
hope that his valuable life will long be spared,
as we could uiy anora 10 lose mm ai mis
moment.
United States a suit against the erection of
the ChcRnut Street Bridge. The wish to
settle a legal technicality is a laudable one,
'nd the complainants deserve credit tor the
effort; for it is impossible for us to impute to
them any other motive than a professional
curkwitv. No one could be bo blind to the
eiges ot tho titnos, 'especially to the signs or
the Cl-.estiut Street Bridge, to anticipate that
It would be concluded in the lifetime of any
man now living. For all practical purposes
It is the same as it restrained by an Injunction ;
what is denied by law Is granted by the
energetic contractor, and he can therefore
view the suit and its decision as merely mat
teis of legal interest.
Yesterday the opinion of the Court was
read by Justice Wayne. It amounted to a
declaration tl.at the Supremo Court had no
jurisdiction in the premises, and that tho case
comes legitimately under the control of the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. The injunc
tion prayed for, therefore, was refused, and
the ense decided in favor of the continuance
of the bridge. It is probable that the reason
why the work has progressed so slowly was
for the tear that the whole proceeding would
be declared illegal. We are willing to take it
for granted that such Is tho excuse. There
is now, however, no impediment to prevent
its completion with the present century. We
would make a suggestion that the efforts of
the workmen be so stimulated, that should tho
progress of the construction not be unseom
ingly interrupted, that when we celebrate the
termination of the fourth centennial anniver
sary of the settlement of Pennsylvania, in
1887, the bridge could be christened at tho
same time. We would not hasten the work
so as to injure the construction, but if not
incompatible with durability, that tho termi
nation be secured by the date we suggest.
In Councils, last Thursday, a communi
cation was rcct ived from Henry Bickley,
offering to clean tho streets of Philadelphia,
remove the ashes and garbage, and to clean
the inlets, for tho sum of ninety-flve thousand
dollars per annum. A resolution to award
the contract to Mr. Bickley was referred to
the joint special committee on the subject
Should the offer be accepted, it would be a
saving to the city of nearly a hundred thou
sand dollars. Although we do not l.now that
the contract can be well executed under such
an appropiiation, we can say that the streets
cannot be in a worse condition than they are
under the present regime. Any change must
be for the better, and if a sum as large as that
saved by giving to Henry Bickley the con
tract can be acquired, then let it be- given
by all means. Where all is to be gained
and nothing lost,there need be no hesitation.
THE SUNDAY QUESTION.
The Day ot Sacred Rest -Its Moral Obliga
tions.
To lite Editor q the bv tiling telegraph:
Tbe Bible li our book of moral philosophy. Above
and beyond it there is no anthoritr. Whutto.cn
does it say as to th babbnth?
1. The first proof of its permanent moral obliga
tion is tho fact that it is the llr.t law God ever
enaoted "for man." "And God bless id the seventh
day and sanctified it; became that on it he had
rested from all Ids work which God eieated and
made." Genesis ii, 8. What can be muant by this
blessing the day t Can time be made happy? What,
by hallowing or making it holy? Can time be
clothed with moral purity! Clearly, both' the bless
ing and the sanctiiying have reference to man, for
whom our Saviour says the day was made. Till
appointment ot a day of rest for man, immediately
alter creation, proves that it was not an institution
peculiar to the Jewish nation, for Abraham, their
root-proeenitor. was not born until 2070 years after
wards; and because it is expressly said, elsuwhero,
"The Sabbath was made lor man" for mankind;
and because bore, the reason of its appointmont was
iiod's ct using fiom the work of creating, m which
the whole race are equally interested. It was esta
blished as a means of holiness and happiness to man.
kind. Ibis proves it to be a moral law binding and
blessing all the human race
2. The secoud proof wo find in the history in
Genesis iv. Here we have a brief account of publio
worship. "At the end of days" at the cutting ofl
of das. Here is reference to the division of davs
into sections. The number of days includod in these
sections is not bore tamed. But as afterwards we
know the sections were of seven da) s, as will be
proved shoitly, we have rhrhtto conclude it was so
hire. The history oi bis creation most assuredly
was made known to Adam. It I not conceivable
that God would give him no account of the creations
ot the six days and the ro.-ticg of the seventh. To
cllcce, because no written account was given to
Adam, thcrelore he was ignorant of alt this, is sim
ply childish; tor no man can prove that there was
any written 'alphabetic language prior to Moses.
And why should Moses be iniormed of the history
of creation and Adam himself lett Ignorant oi itf
Ko man ran boliove it. Besides, the brevity of the
history admits not of detail in this worship of
Adam's lamily the whole race Those first sevon
chapters cover the history of 1650 years. This publio
worship, in piocess of time at the end or days
imitating the Creator's example of six dayV labur
and one oi rest, is mentioned as a thing of course,
and proves the observance of a day of saored restlug
irom labor and of holy coueoralion.
8. The cutting off of days into, sections ot seven
days is twice mentiond In Genesis vlil, 10, 12. This
proves that Noah observed the division of time, the
same as we do now. The same can be interred from
the seven days noted in chapter vil, 4, 10, " Yet seven
days, and I will cause it to rain." "And alter seven
days the waters of the flood were upon the er.h.'
Undoubtedly the hebdomadal division of tine was
then currently in use.
The application of this number to the clean beasts,
2, also showsa mystical ue most easily explained
by its reference to the days of creation and of rest
as its origin. Seven is the number of perleotlon.
The seventh year was cousocrated, and "seven Sab
baths thall be comp'ete," and previously, the Kvyp
tian visions presented "seven welMnvored klne.'I
and ill-tavored the same in number; and so seven
good and seven bad ears on stock. Bo seven d?s
and seven priests, bearing seven trumpets, etc.,
plainly showing the nambsr seven to be peoulisily
distinguished in the Scriptures; and this baing first
presented in referenoe to the days of saored rent,
amounts to more than violent presumption it con
stitutes a proof of the seven' h day's consecration as
a Sabbath from the beginning.
Hero we nay as welt meet an objootioo. It may
be it baa been said, if the Sabbath was a binding
moral law from the beginning ot mankind, as
Lutber and Calvin toll -lis, it is strange that we find
scarcely any notioe of its obsorvanei for s many
hundred years. Surely, if It had beon a mora' law,
binding upon all mankind, more irequent noticos of
It must have occurred during the twenty-five con
varies from Adam to Moses. This is plausiblo, but
not solid. For, first, as just noted, the history is
very brief; and we have teen two notablo instanoes
oi Habbat.o observance. Secondly. The pairiarolis
Nosh, Abraham. Isaao, and Jacob wero in tho habit
oi ereotlng their altars and of caMng upon the name
of the Lord. see Genesis vill, 20, xii. 7, xxil, 0,
xxxv, 1-8. Now calling on the name of the Lard is
a description of publio worship; and par 10 worship
implies publication of the time and place it In
volves conventional argument; and ths presumption
Is strong that these davs oi ub 10 worship were the
same as observed from tho beginning tne hallowed
Sabbath day. Hot lay third and chief refutation ot
this objection he i in the fact that it is a nogation.
There is no record du y authoritative that Mosoj'
wife was a b ack woman; therolore she was not
black, she was only "an E hioplau womio." There
is no reoord that Abram torded the Euphrates;
therefore ho did not ford that river. There Is
no evidence that he ferried over It; therefore he did
not ctosa it at all. Let us apt ly this reasoning in
another case. From the days of Cain ((Jen. iv, 17)
to the flood, thore is hut oae mention made of wloos
(Gen.lv, 19); tbeiefore men had no wines for ix
teen centuries. From the saorifioes of Abel and
Cam to Noah, no saorifioes are mentioned in the re
cords, and so from Noah to Abraham; thrrolore the
divine lusti u i Ion of sacrifice was utterly nog;eoted
for sixteen ceutuilcs, and again for lour conturios.
Again, "No special instance of the pnetoe of oir
cumolslon is reoordod as having ooourred from the
settlement ot the Hebrews in Canaan to the time ot
Christ " (Princeton Itov., Ootober, 1359.) There
fore for nearly fifteen conturios the saored symbol
and seal of Abraham's covenant was lost and Ig
nored t On the contrary, the brief noticos above of
the law of saored ' rest are just such as the brlof his
tory would reasonably be expected to give.

Tho Wall Ptreet business men, who are rart-ly
at a lo3 lor a ReriHution, were again euppliud
with U'.xu lor conversation yesterday, by the
information that a lcr?ery hud been co'.ninitied
by which a firm of brokers lia'i btcn victitni.ed
to the extent ot fourteen thousand dollars.
As the pcrpeirator ol iho Iplouy in suppo?od to
have remained in the city, the names and details
oi tbe ci.Fe have been suppressed by those most
interested in the aitair, ibe hrm believing that a
complete expose oi the tacts would rather injure
their business reputution, and the hank oaicer
not desirinR to make public a statement that
njicht prevent tl.e capture of tbe foiger and the
recovery of nif booty.
At an early hour yesterday afternoon It was
rumored on tne street and on 'Change that a
lorpery bad been committed, bv which the
Chatham National bank, a financial institution
located at the corner ot John Etieet and Broad
wav, bad been tbe losers ot nearly one hundred
thousand dollars. Inquiries were at once made
at tbe bank, when the oilicers furnished tne re
poller with some of tbe following tacts:
It is charged tnat a tc months since an indi
vidual, whose reul name is unknown, established
an ofliee down town, issued cards that stated t:,e
owner to be in tho commission business, and
made daily etlorts to become acquainted with
the most prominent business men of the city.
Tbe til in of w hich he was supposed to be the
principal partner as styled Cooper & Co. on
the business cards and the check-books which
be caused to be spec'ully engraved lor'bls own
purposes.
A lew day9 ago the individual called upon
some brokers down town, showed them a reter-ence-sbeet
bearing the signatures of A. A. Xiow
& Co., and other parties of recognized response
btlity, and expressed a des:re to purchase ten
thousand dollars in gold. To bind the bargain,
he hanoed the brokers a fourteen t'louaand col
lar check ou the Chatham National Bank, siened
by bis own name, and in appearance duly certi
fied by tbe teller of the institution.
The check was accented and ten thousand dol
lars in gold paid to the man, who at once dis
appeared with the funds. On presentation of
tbe cheek to the bank, it was ascertained beyond
a doubt that the ingenious rogue had obtained
by some means or other an impression of the
teller's stamp of certification, wherewith be had
caused to be manufactured a duplicate stamp.
thus being enabled to counterfeit the teller's
certification signature on as many checks as bo
chose to issue.
The forger, it would appear, escaped at once
with his booty, and has been entirely lost sight
oi. it is presumed tnat tne "womng up" ot the
case has been entrusted to tne police, at least.
to private detectives, and all stfps will bo taken
to secure the an est of the guilty party and the
recovery of the money. Meantime, the namei
of the victims of the forgery have been withheld
irom the public, prudence demanding the adop
tion of 6uch a measure. Neu York Herald,
The War Department has been petitioned
to restore General Sweeney to his position in the
regular service.
