By report of the Commisaioners of

and by their report from . September
8, 1867, to November 80, the
"loans redeemed" amounted to 52,-
414,816 64, making a total ; duction
of the State debt, in two years and

EDUCATION
(bniniOn hActols—The annual re
port of the Superintendent of Com
mon Schools exhibits the condition
of that department In it highly :4sitls
factory manner. Within the State
there'are I,9lBsehool districts; 13,766
schools; 2,382 graded schools; 11,0.18
school directors • 73 county, city and
borough superintendents ; 16,771
teachers; and 8(5 1, 515 pupils. The
(sled of tuition for the you. was
273,269 43; of !alibiing-, purcluising
tmd rentingschooi h0u5e4,351,991,15,,,0
55; of contingencies, $845,243 21.
These three items, with expendi
tures for all other purposes connect
ed therewith, amount the aggregate
sum of $6,19,537 96.
, These facts are exhibited with
great satisfaction, a•+ theyshow the
average annual cost for the tuition of
each pupil to be about seven dollars
and seventy4our anti a half cents.
The average amount paid to each
teacher is about $195 17/ per annum.
This, in my opinion, Ls too small a
salary to secure the services of com
petent teachers; and I am fully jus
titled in urging the necessity of in
creased compensation. It isbutjust,
and it will have an elevating ten
dency not only upon the teachers but
the manner in which their duties are
performed.
Tour attention is celled to the fact
that, notwithstanding the ample pro
vision now made by law for the ed.
umtlon of all persons between the
ape of six and twenty-one - years,
large number of children, principal ' .
ly iu our cities, do not attend any
kind of school. Over twenty thou
sand of this class are found in Phila
delphia, and.the number in the State
Is estimated to be not less than sev
enty-five thousand. These children
grow up in ignorance, freeently
without employment, and many of
them contract habits of vice, which
i be
'eventually cause them t o . com

and sound public policy demand
something be done hi , remedy
this • growing evil, and also : that of
the negiected.condition of considera
ble numbers of children in the alms
and poor houses In many of the Moun
ties.
Four Normal Schools are now or
ganized has State thdittitione. The
number of students *tending them
during the past was 2,115, of
whom eighty anted. Two addi
tional No Schools.wlll probably
go Into operation during this year,
one located at
rior Bloomsburg, C,olurn
boa cmu and, the other at Califor
nia, ington county, The value
of them institutions to the common
school system (=not be estimated.
Our schools are comparatively wort h
witheut qualified teachers, and
such teachers can most easily be ob
tained, from the Normal institutes,
,where the art of teething is made a
specialty.
A, meeting of the presidents and
other authorities of a number of our
PzineiPo colleges was held. *in Bar.

which was to bring about a closer

seminaries of Miming cannot ate effi

youth in the -higher branches of
knowledge seems •to require the aid
ofphilanthropit. contributions. This
institution had not these benefits to
any adequate extent, and though
the board of ;trustees bestowed upon
it the most. anxious care, their zeal
and labor, combined. with those of
its friends, were.not equal to n cur
test with the want of mans. Hence
the school did not command the con
fidence of farmers who are Wile to
educate their sons, and whit could
not 'forget that the character Of the
college attached to the character sit
its graduates; and that its failure
would-, enter into the estimate
which the - world would place upon
the education it bestowed. The peo
ple, through their legislature,' have
endowed this institution with the
interest upon a fund of tC118,500 00,
(invested in United Statesand Penn
sylvania State six per cent. bondk,)
payable to it semfannually. Last
yeat,this interest'amounted to
042 78. The residue of sthe hind,
$41,886 51), has been appropriated,
under the law; by.the board of trus
tees, to the purchase or three model
and experimental farms; one at the
college; in Centre county, for $BOOO
- one in Chester county for $17,-
750 00, and one in Indiana county
for $111,136 50. The board hits also
recently re-organized the faculty and

agricultural community. This new

MILITARY.
From the report of the Adjutant
General you willlearn the condition
Of the Military Department. The
Inactivity in military affairs after
the cefeation .of hostilities and upon
the return of peace, has in a great
measure been dispelled; and an ac
tive martial spirit now prevails
throughout the State; more partic
ularly in Philadelphia, where, 'by a
%obi l i btllP enactment, the
minimum number of. men required
to form a conusiny has been reduced
and a brigade fund Is raised by a tax
upon those whq are not members of
a mllliary organisation, but liable to
the performance of military duty.
I recommend the passage of a simi
lar hiw for the whole State. For the
sake of preserving the great interests
involved, : which include the lives,
Property and linPPllleos of our peo
ple, this is pnveated to you as an

have diligently prosecuted the work

within the time prescribel by the
legiShitive resolutions of AprilB, NM;
and in further compliance with them
they will cause to be laid before each

INSURANCE DEPARTMENT.
Among the subjects of iniportance
to the citizens of Pennsylvania is the
establishment of nu In.suntnee De.
partment. Such departments are in
successful operation In several neigh
boring States, by meant of which the
interests of Insurers are guarded and
promoted. So careful a Aupervislon
is had over the transaction of Insur
ance companies that frauds -are ren
dered almost itrpowdble, and spurious
companies, can have no existence,—
The result of the protection thus, of..
forded, is,. that wttilrlt foreign COP'
panics, thus protected; do ithinense
bUslness In this State, so ;little confi
dence is bad in those of Pennsylva
nia that their business is almost en
tlrely confined within the Statell m its;
and lately some of them have With-,
drawn their •agencies from •other
Statc3, becalm no risks will he pahen
In consequence pf the Inadequacy of
.the laws to afford protection to insur
ers. 'To this defect, moreover, may
be attributed the operations of the
number of Worthless companieS that
have suddenly sprung up; without
any solid basis, and as suddenly ex
pired, to the injury of all whose con
fidence they obtained, and to the dim=
honor oftheCoinlponwealth. Whilst
Pennsylvania insurance companies
transact little business outside of the
State, it.ie alleged that fbreign life in

afforded by etherStatea. . The report
of the Insurance Department or New
York, published in 1867; shows, that

The preyalence of contagious or

!XVII a prolific source of anxiety and
alarm among the producers aua con
sumers of meats in many .f the
States, It was therefore deemed Im

petcat per Sons to take into consider
ation the means best calculated to
remedy this great and growing evil.
The convention, composed of three
commissioners each from the fourteen
States represented, appointed in SC ,
conlanm with an amement by the
several Governors assembled, at
Springfield, Illinois, on the first of
Decor tier I ast, and an at:mint of their

The law require:4 that they shall be

the mind that maltuth warrant may
at any moment be bested, is, perhaps,
the severe:o that could be afilletW.—

The foregoing subjects have been
deemed of sufficient Importance to
submit at the present' time for your
information andeonslderation. : Oth
ers may occur before the else of the

special communications. It will be
my constant care and determination
tutu-operate with you In the prose

belief that your united wisdom will
aim constantly to promote these de
sirable results.
' Many of tre events that have
transpired sincesny last annual eom
munication to the Legislature have
(seen unusually interesting and sig-'

more than pollthal, and bear direct

sacred destinies of the nation. Apart
from the vindication of the princi
ples of the party which sustained the
Government and the army during the
contest for the preservation of the
Union, and the election to the Pres

is the Uct that the people have by
triumphant maiorities forever settled
our controversy upon certain funda

undoubtedly will arise upon other
issues, but there can be no !Mute

servitude, as a monopoly el labor. is
