REDETTION OF THE PUBLIC DEBT
On the fifteenth day of January,
11W7, the total indebtedneis of the
State was thirty/-seven million seven
lap:tired and four thousand four hun
dred and nine) dollars and seventy
seven cents. Since then, and up to
November 30, 1870. the sum of six
million fire hundred and ninety-two
thousand seren. lhandred and forlg
seven dollars and eighty-seven cents
has been paid. The reduction dur
ing the year ending November 30,
1870, is one million serial hundredand
two thousand eight hundred and ser
enfli-nine dollars and fire rents.
•
The average reduction per annum,
fur the last four, years, is one million
air hundred and,fortkeighl thousand
eight hundredand eighty-serendottars.
in view attic fact that 'prior to
the first of July, 1872, nearly eight
million dulhtrs Of the public debt will
be due, and lu Order that the Com
monwealth may continue to meet all
its obligations promptly at Maturity,
I reccommend that such provisiong
be made by the Legislature, as will
authorize the Commisiloners of the
Sinking Fund to sell all the assets
that may be in their possession, and
apply the proceeds to theextinguish
ment of the debt; or, at the option
of the !udders to exchange them for
the outstanding bonds of the COM•
nelweallth. , .
The indebtedness of the State
might to iviid in the following UMW.
ner : As already shown Welts on
November :io,' 1870,.. about thirty
one million dollars, front which
amount, if the said assets, $9,f40,000;
be deducted, there would remain un
paid $21,500,000: After, whirl:, esti
mating the revenues and expendi
tures to continue us at present. the
entire liabilities of the Stater:mid be
liquidated in about eight years.
If this :male of paying the State
debt should be regarded as unneces
sarily rapid and • oppressive, then
'a movement to revise and. modify
taxation may meet with moregener-
al favor. Our debt is now held firm
ly by those to whom it is a great ben-
Wit to have so aemire an investment.
A certain reduction of one' million
dollars per annum on it would, - -per
haps, be more satisfactory 'to them
and to the people, than to strive• to
pay it off so hastily. In atv'endenv
; or to force things under the present
~ mode of taxation,. there is great den
! ger'of driving ¶npital away from our
imanufacturing centres The land
, holder has been exempted from taxes
on histands for State purposes,:and
1 the burden shifted 'upon the active,
energetic and enterprising portions
1 of the community, who have alway s
I had their tail sham to bear. The
i farmer It at else, - and runs no risk 1
;whilst the business , man, merthant

lhe.last convention for this pur

elapsed, sundry amendments have
been made by joint:resolutions of the
General Assembly and in compli
ance with the tenth article :of the
Constitution, wereapprovedand ret
itled by a majority of the qualified
voters of the State. The must impor
tant were those of 1810. making the

amendments, though important- and

the local and special legislation for

The resulting evils are manifold ana
aggravated; and prominent among
the reasons and suggestiong why a
remedy should be applied, I submit
the following':
1
°[ ""'S ii.!
First—Different systems of laws
for roads, bridges, schools, elections,
poor-houses and many other things,
are enacted for the several counties,
townships and boroughs, on subjects
which ought to be regulated by gen
eral laws, operating uniformly on all.
&eorid—ft is impassible for the
citizens, judges of the muds, or mem
bers of the legal profession, toacnuire
or retain an accuntte knowledge of
the varying systems of law in their
respective districts; and frequently,
on removal from one county to an
other, our people find themselves
under ahnost entirely different aides.
EZEMB

ED=

Third—Pm:llea the whole the
ory of our ll.lonsLituttn and Govern
'flout Is subverted and tlitroyed by
the present system of local enact
ments. Representative government
is based on the idea ' that the laws
shall be framed by, and be the result
of, the collective wisdom of the peo
ple's representatives. Out' what are
the actual facts? 'The minds and ef-
:sets of the members are so wholly
absorbed by private and locals bills,
that it is almost impossible to get a
general or public act considered or
passed. The special and local bills,
are usually drawn by the member
representing the locality, or by some
one from the district interested in
the proposed law. IJy what is term
ed is considered a breach
of etiquette for any member of , the
Senate or. House to interfere with or
oppose a merely private or local bill
of any other member. The result is,
the bills are passed as originally pre
pored, without examination or com
;arisen of views,--uften-crudo or in
digested, and without regard to ccm
stitutional requirements or sound
policy. Some of the worst of these
hasty . and badly maidens.' enact
ments are arrested every year by ex
ecutive luterposition ;and in the pa
tare of the case, the veto at best am
only be made a partial restraint upon
the evil ; and nothing eau eradicate
it short of constitutional prohibition.
Tharfh—Special Legislation is the
great and impure formation of cor
ruption, private speculations and
Public wrongs. It has. become a es
proach to Republican government,
and is one of the most alarming evils
of the dunes. Judicious amendments
to the Constitution would arrest and
destroy the growing evil; and it Ls
the duty of every patriotic citizen to
co-opemtein all lawful measures to
effect so desirable a consummation.
In the enactment of laws a rallied
change is !demanded. , Every bill
presented for adoptioirshouki. be re.
emled on its final passage.
Fifth—lt is important that the
State Constitution should be made to
conform fo the Constitution of the
United States, as recently amended:
AU:us—The subject of. minority
-representation is,now much agitated,
and is receiving a large share of con
sideration among thoughtful and
considerate men. It embraces prob
lems of great political importance,
•and its manifest Justice commends It
topublic favor. Whilst some of the
objects It proposes might be obtained
by legislative enactments, .the gener
al principles* involved are so elemen
tary and radia4 , they should, , .lf
adopted, be- incorporated into the
Ibndamental law. '
Serenth.—The members of the Gen
eral Assembly should be Increased in
number. .
Wit—There shoukl be , a funda
mental limitation to the powers of
corporations. .
Ninth. —There is alto nectmity
for. greater security f the public
funds and for their p r destribu
lion.

WEITet Or ERROR ilir CUIYUCAL CA.
113
At the bistanisloteetttierbeiintens
an act was pawed, entitled "An Act
to allow writs of error in awes of
murder and voluntury tuanslaugh
ter." The•tt+t section provkles that
a writ of error "nulll be of right, and
may be sued out upon theosith of the
defendant or defendants, as in ciril
cases."
The second section makes It the du
ty of the judges ofthe Supreme Court,
In all teases to review both the law
and the evidence.
Before this enactment' the law re
quired the defendant to allege that
some error had been committed by
the court on the trial, and to show
reuse, within thirty days why:the
writ of error should be granted : but
this law gives a writ, whether any
error be alleged or not, and allowe
the defendant seven years in which
to issue it, accordion to the practice
in dell eases. Heretofore the Exec
utive did not ordinarily Woe the
warrant for execution (gamy crimi
nal until the expiration of the thirty
days within which .he was permitted
to apply for , his writ of error. That
limitation Of tiairty days being now
virtually repealed, and seven years
subistitutcd therefor, is It expected
that ;a warrant shal l withheld for
the seven years? If not, when may
it properly issue? And if issued at
any time within the seven years,
may not the criminal supersede It at
any time he pleassa by his writ of er
ter? And may it not be 'reasonably
expected that this will be the practic
al result every such case? This would
seem like trifling with very serious ,
matters;
and I respectfully submit
whether the action of the last session
should not be repealed, or very , ma
terially moulded, without delay. In
my melange of lUth February. IMO,
returning the bill with nay object
ions, I gave sundry reasons why it
should not be approved, and the
views therein expressed remain un
changed ; and the Supreme Court In

Your attention Is respectfully in
vited to the report of the Superinten
dentof the Soldiers' Orphism' School,
for the year terminating May 81st,
1870. • Since the first organisation of
these schools the whole number
of children admitted is b,O And
dudes the same period, the dis
charges, including deaths, amount to
1,524, leaving 3,5 M In the schools at
the close of the year, of whom 2,157
are In 'guided,' and 793 In 'primary
echoer* , and 599 in 'Homes:
During the year terminating May
31, 1871, 493 of these will bedischarg
ed on age; In 1872, 477, in '73, WO.
in '74, &a, in '75,616, in '74 602 1 In
77, 584, in''7B, 410, In '79, MI, and In
'BO the remainder, 171. From this
statement it will be seen that all the
children now la the schools, on
reaching the age of 16, will be dis
charged In ten years on age alone.
The reinfonsments to the schools will
hereafter consist only of children
born prior to January 1,1966, conse
quently all who may hereafter be ad
mitted must come in during the nett
ten years, and they will be more
than absorbed by the discharges on
order. The number disclarged this
year on age Is 400, and on order MO,
and 15 have died; making In all A 45..
Should the rapidity of the discharges
ou order Continue in anything like
the ratio of the present year it will
not require more than five years to
exhaust the greater portion of these
schools, and the children remaining
In them will from time to time have
to be concentrated in - a few of the
schools which shall be deemed the
best to ckee up the concern.
