Thb aunuai message o( Major-Meneral John W. eary to the Legislature of Pennsylvania was presented to-day, and will be found in fall elsewhere in oar paper. It is a clear and con owe document, in which verbiage ia carefully avoided, yet which toaohea on all the leadiog points of interest to the welfare of the Com monwealth. It ia written in that frauk, sol dierly style which we would ezpeot from the pen of the Governor, and will give general satkfaotion among the people. Let ua look at the principal subjects of which he treats. Probably the most interesting department of State administration ia that most iutinmttily oonneoted with the revenue. The condition of the finances of Pennsylvania is treated with perspicuity and fullness, and the pic ture which ia shown is the beat enco mium on the administration which has conducted them. There is a balance in the Treasury of l,0i:,-U5. The Sinking Fund Commiasion for the reduction of the funded debt of the Bute report, "for the year ending September 3, 1867, the loans redeemed amount to $l,794.GGi., and by their ' report from September 3, 18G7. to November 30, 18C8, the loans redeemed amounted to $2,414,816, making a total reduction of the State debt in two years and three months of $4,209,380-14." Thus modestly, without com ment, the Kxeoutive states a faot of which he has good reason to boast aa the pride of hia or of any administration. He makes a valuable suggestion in regard to the ten million dol lars' worth of bonds of the Pennsylvania Cen tral and Erie Railroad which are held by the State. They are non -interest bearing, and will not mature for many years. He suggests their sale to the highest bidder, and that the prooeeds be applied to the reduction of the d ibt. This would be at onoe changing dead oapital into live, and tend to eaae the burdens of the taxed. The tola! State debt ia :"i:,28l),91'. The Governor concludes that portion of the message which CU-S t0 the finanoes by 8trikirt.Jr note which will find an echo inrfrrpopular thought: Retrenchment is emphatically demanded by the people in legislative expendi tures, aa well as in every other branch of the Government." The order of the day ia "re trenchment and reform," and the voters will bold to strict accountability any and all those who waste the public funds. The Common School system of the State presents a most nourishing appearance. There are 800,515 pupils in the schools, and the average cost of eduoating eaoh pupil for the year ia seven dol lars seventy-four and a half cents. The average salary paid to teachers is but $1!)5'17, aud the Governor, with great Justin, saya that Uiii sum "is too small to secure the services of competent teachers," and that aa increase "IS but just, and it will have an elevating tendency not only upon the teachers but thy manner in which their duties are performed." The "Soldiers Orphans' Sohools" have ?A il children in them, and the average cost of board and tuition is $2 05 per week for each pupil. The whole system of educating and providing for the orphans of soldiers is com mended by the Governor as both proper and patriotic. The nourishing condition of the Agricultural College ia also favorably com mented upon. Next In importance to the points on which we have already spoken ia that of the Registry law. We must hesitate, on second thought, to make it second to any consideration. On it the Governor speaks with great frankness. He truly states that in the late elections "frauds were perpetrated surpassing in magni tude, perhaps, any that have been heretofore consummated in the history of this Common wealth," asd forcibly adds: '-These frauds have demonstrated the necessity of the paasage of some law or laws that will accomplish the desired effect without being subject to the ex ceptionable feator-s pointed out by the learned gentlemen who pronounced the opi oiou of the Supreme Bench." In this the people join, and demand of the Legislature the adoption of some law so stringent as to render such frauds impossible la the future. The Governor directs attention to the double crime, and sajs: 'Not only should false vbting be severely punished, but false swearing to obtain a vote be visited with the pains and penalties of perjury and with perpetual disfranchisement." The great and self-evident fraud perpetrated through the naturalisation of forelguers, aud which Tub Kvhnimo THLROCinr was the first to expose, also merit and receive notice at the hand of the Bxeoutive. "Kery proper facility," ays Governor Geary, "for the naturalization of oitisens of foreigu birth should be afforded; ut the Legislatuie, in its combined wisdom, -an surely enact some mode to prevent the poteibNity of a single vote being cast upon -spmlous naturalisation pipers, and thus fully secure the purity of the eleotive franchise." Suoh a law ia within th range of possibility, juid will, we feel sure, be passed. The establishment of an Insurance Bureau, fSmilarto that of New York, is alao recom mended for oft-repeated times. It should ba formed la order to save the companies of Penn sylvania from the overwhelming competition of foreign oorporatlona. The only remaining subject of whioh our spaoe will permit us to treat ia that of pardon). To Governor Geary belongs the oredit of being the first Governor " of Pennsylvania who was willing to open the books of pardons and pub lish to the people exaotly who hare been par doned, what for, and by whom they were re commended. Appended to the message is a full list of all the convicts pardoned, a history in brief of the case, and the names of the moat prominent gentlemen who signed their appli cations. This is aa it should be, as In the ex eroise of so high a prerogative whioh the people vest in hia hands, the Governor ought to give an account of its exeroise. 1C23 appli cation1) for pardons have been made during 186'8, of whioh 10G were granted about six and a half per oent. In using the power the Governor has been exceedingly oareful, and we think a great majority of tho3 pardoned merited clemency. The message concludes with an admirable summing-up of the condi tion of the nation and State, both political aud Eocial, and sees in the eleotion of General Grant the dawn of that day when all controversies "will be settled on fundamental principles." Taken as a whole, there haa rarely been a message that will give more general satisfac tion, both for its contents and the manuer in which they are expressed. An Opportunity lor r.oonnniy. By the annual report of the Government printer, it appears that the aggregate cost of the ptintingaud bindiDg done at the Govern ment office during the year ending September 30, 1808, was $1, 004, 5 13, whioh is $12G,071 less than the expense Incurred the previous year, and nearly a million dollars below that of the year 18U5. This is oertainly a very satisfactory exhibit, but we think the next report of the Government printer oould bs made still more palatable to taxpayers. Take the Patent Office report, for Instanoe. The report for 1867 is now being printed, but will not be ready for distribution until after the close of the present session of Congress. It has been compressed, as we are told, within the smallest possible limits, and yet is swelled out into three large octavo volumes of nine hundred pages each, one-half of the whole work consisting of "handsomely engraved illustrations of ma' chine ry, etc." The orders of Congress for this expensive document run up to 61,050 volumes, 50,000 of which, it is sata to say, will find their way into bake-shops and trunk manufactories in the cjurse of a year or two. The report for the year 18G8, the engravings for which are new being exeouted by the for tunate contractor, will bo even more forinida. ble than that for 18G7, aa it haa been found impossible to "compress" it into less than four enormous aud elegantly illustrated volums We think we but give expression to the general sentiment of taxpayers when we pro nounce this Patent Office business a swindle. The reports are certainly useful to a limited class, and this clasa should have the privilege of paying for them, on the same principle that other classes of people are obliged to pay for the books that they iind necessary in the conduct of their businesa or their literary pur suits. But it ia nothing short of au outrage to make the whole country foot the bill of this clasa of "pub. doo." readers, and more than an outrage to soatter tena of thousands of expensive volumes over the country, with the certainty that they will be put to ignoble nees, if to any use at all. The same principle will apply to all the other multitudinous publications of the Gov ernment. A million of dollars, at least, could be saved every year by adopting the English systtm, which is to print all Government documents at the smallest possible outlay and then sell them at the exact oost price to such persons aa have use for them and are willing to pay for them. Let Congress look into tbe subject, and provide the legislation which ia imperatively needed. FINANCE AND OOMMER O E. Ojtvicm or Tun Kvenins Tez.bskapk, Wednesday.
