that ’ll
details. My vteWs are in accord with thfr
genera! policy 1 of the State administra
tion for the past few years, although I
believe some changes might be for the
public good, aod to these I shall briefly
allude. : ' u
STATE FINANCES —TAXATION.
Having been closely connected with
the finances of the State, since 1866, I
speak knowingly when I say the revenues
have been faithfully collected, taxation
jms been equalized by the of the
most burdensome taxes; and by strict,;
economy and good management the pub
lie debt has been largely reduced. The
policy of pay logoff the entire indebtedness
of the State is,lbeUeye. fully Indorsed
by the taxpayers, and It sbaU be my aim
to adhere go that policy. The,
debt, however, decreasing while the reve
nues are increasing, it occurs to me that a
farther reduction of the. latter should
made during the current session. , <fe
, The increase in the value of our real es»
tate andthe product of our maoufact
the steady development of our '
and thr
readily understand howa'llgl
posed upon the present taxed property
will meet all our necessities in the future*
provide an ample fund for the liquidation
of our debt, and give a decided impulse
to the useful enterprises thus relieved.
INDUSTBIAL INTEBESTS.
I sincerely trust, however, that in any
attempt to lessen the burdens, of taxation,
the Legislature will exercise a wise dis
cretion, and properly discriminate in fa
vor of our industrial interests. In every
part of this Commonwealth, are found
rich deposits of minerals. To make them
available and productive should be our
earnest aim, and shall receive a large
share of my attention. It can alone,be
done by the intelligent employment of
labor and capital. This is a subject of im
mense interest, and can best be served by
first providing the highest possible knowl
edge of the character and location of the
most valuable minerals. Labor cau be
made Inviting by making it remunera
tive. Its remuneration mustdepend large
ly upon the means of protection accorded
by Congress to bur home industries, a
question which may safely be committed
to our representatives in the National
Legislature. Capitails the water for the
wheel and should bq abundant, and the
rates of interest easy for active and whole
some enterprise, and whatever legislation
will best serve this end should receive
general support. Money will always seek
the highest rates, the security being the
same, and for that reason it now gravitates
to neighboring States where the. legal
rates are higher than our own.. If we can
not remove the restriction 1 and make
money as free as any other commodity, at
least, let ns permit the same rate as al
lowed by other States, and thereby retain
it within our borders.
THE COMMON SCHOOLS.
It will be my pleasure, as it is my duty,
to have a watchful care over the school
system of our State. No part of our
government policy should command the
employment of more wisdom than that
which 1 is to promote the instruction of
our youth. It is a source of pride and
satisfaction that our people contribute so
freely to an object so worthy as our
schools. And the report of the Superin
tendent of Common Schools must eon*
vince every reader of the happy result tc
cruing from the judicious management of
our educational system. But while the
doors of the public schools are open wide
to everyone, it is sad to think that there
are 75,000 children in the State who do
not, or are not permitted, by the necessi
ties of their parents or otherwise* to at
tend and receive the blessed privileges of
these schools. This is a matter of grave
import, and exact* for ut all, people and
Legislature,' alike ettnest and- thoughtful
consideration.

LIFBSAND FIRE INSURANCE*
The fire and life. insurance companies
are trying to secure uniform legislation in
all the States, and the States having a.
large home interest in insurance have
been the first to adopt that principle. To
impose heavy fees and taxes upon insur
ance. companies incorporated in other
States and .doing, business in this reacts
upon the home companies by, reason of
the reciprocal laws of those States. If it
is deemed desirable to protect and foster
the home insurance interest, already too
long neglected, let uniform laws be enact
ed. To me it seems this interest 's of
sufficient importance to warrant the tem
porary loss of a portion of the revenue
now received from the foreign companies.
The revenue from our own- companies
will increase by reason of their enlarged
business, and we will thus be compensat
ed for such, loss.
the centennial anniversary.
The necessity for immediate action on
of our people to insure the suc
cess of the Centennial Exhibition must be
realized by every thinking man: Its fail
ure will be our lasting shame, its success
must resound to the honor and perma
nent benefit of the Commonwealth. Lo
cated in our metropolis, which is fast
moying td the front of the manufacturing
Cities of the world, affording an opportu
nity to display the products and resources
6f our State, and opening to foreigners
hew channels of information as to pur
Character and enterprise, it- certainly is
the imperative duty of every citizen who
loves bis State to lend his countenance
and support to this great exhibition. The
dignity and good name of the Common -
{wealth-are at stake. Let us not forget
these by a lack of public spirit or by mis
taken economy. Any proper plan the
Legislature may see fit to adopt to aid
this national undertaking shall receive
the hearty concurrence of the Executive.
1 CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.
The subject of constitutional reform is
now occupying a large space of public at
tention ; opinions are various as to its
propriety or necessity, as the views of
men are conservative or' progressive l .
There is now* however, in session in Phil
adelphia a convention of respectable and
honorable gentlemen, authorized by the
people to revise the Constitution. To
these gentlemen we can confidently refer
I the question of constitutional reform, io
the belief that out of their combined in-
I tegrity and wisdom will spring such meas
ures as will best to the safety,
happiness and prosperity s>f the people.

bMajl *rlM>n we" consider
theimportanlties of the friends of a
condemned coin and their inclination to

moist be conceded that this power is a
trying and dangerous one with which to
invest any one min. Any provision that
would relieve thb cdhniflence and divide
the responsibility of the citercise of this
power must, surely itself to the
good' senseof
11l view of tlie prospect that the Leg is*
lature will after this session, be divested of
its power to legislate for special objects, a
popular apprehension is prevailing that
interested parties will push their schemes
at this juncture, and make extraordinary
efforts to control legislation. I &em it
my duty to impress upon the Legislature
the necessity of examining with more than
ordinary care every measure submitted
for their consideration.
THE board of public charities.
Too much credit cannot be awarded to
the honorable and humane gentlemen who
constitute the board of Public Charities
for their valuable services gratuitously
bestowed in supervising the manifold and
important public trusts the Slate has con
fided to their care. I take great pleasure
in inviting attention to the suggestions
and work of this excellent board, and
shall unite in any plan that will help
these gentlemen to accomplish their beni
ficient designs.
IN CONCLUSION.
We have great cause for thankfulness,
my fellow citizens, when We contemplate
the happy and prosperous condition of
our country. Recuperating rapidly from
the ravage and waste of' oiir great civil
war, she is ndw moving forward to a new
era of - progress and developments j and
in this march to a higher destiny, in
which all the States are united, Pennsyl
vania should have a place in the van—a
position to which she is entitled by the
intelligence and character of her citizens,
the magnitude of her resources, the extent
of her industrial interests and the grand
record of her patriotism, To maintain
this position for our proud old Common
wealth will be the constant endeavor of
your Executiver and to strengthen his
arm and enlarge hte understanding he asks
the support and counsel of all good citizens,
and humbly implores the aid and guidance
of Him who is the Supreme Ruler. .
BATTLE WITH THE INDIANS.
San Francisbo, Jan. 20.—A dispatch
from Yreka, dated to-day, elates that a
message had just arrived athat place
from the headqoatters of Gen. Wheaton;
commanding the troops in action against
the Modoc Indians, k severe battle was
fought last Friday. The troops uxider
the command of Gen. Wheaton, consisted
of 250 regulars, two companies of Oregon
volunteers, 25 riflemen of California,
under the command of Capt. Fairchild,
and a Few Klamath Indians, about 1 400
men in all.
The battle took place near the eastern*
shore of Title lake. Captain Bernard bn

the lake to the east side, and to the east

The troops fought and unseen, foe from
eight o’clock in the morning to dark,
under a terrific fire, during which scarcely
one Indian was seen. The lo& to the
troops was forty kilted and wounded.
The loss to the Modocs is unknown: The
troops were finally obliged to retreat, to
their camps. Capt: Bernard's force bore

terribly.

the regulars, was seriously, Lieutenant

is called a forced reconnoissance. Captain

The troops for the present will only try
to prevent the Modocs from raiding on
the settlements, and will watt for rein

THIERS AND ROCHEFORT.
Why Roebefort was Allowed to Visit
Paris Correspondent of Manchester Guardian.
I was this afterhoon present at a Radi
cal conventicle at which the merits, or
ifi^gove^^
They are of opinion that he should insist
on being sent to New Caledonia. With
out accusing him of being a mouchard,
they suspect him of receiving the presents
of Artaxerxes, as they term it—that is, of
being willing to receive a free pardon.
One citizen, a journalist, volunteered a
very carious piece or information. This
was that Rochefort’s mistress, whom he
lately married in extremis, as it was then
supposed, so far from being in danger of
death, was not even seriously ill. She
had been placed In the Convent of the
Augustine sisters at the suggestion of M.
Thiers himself, and the sending for Roche
fort to come to Versailles and marry her
was only a pretext, the real cause ol
Rochefort’s journey being that M. Thiers
might have, a conversation with him
This convention really took place and :
lasted nearly two hours, in private, added
the speaker. An inquisitive member of
the meeting, expressing the thought that'
was uppermost in all our minds, asked
what they talked about. “I don’t know,”
replied the otherwise welMnformed broth
er, ‘‘but I can give a very probable guess,
I have been talking with Madame Fon
taine this morning, the wife of Fontaine,
who has been transported for transferring
M. Thiers’ furniture, papers, etp., to a.
place of safety, and who kept order at the
demolition of fos house- Now Madame
Fontaine thinks her husband must have
given, or I should say lent, Rochefort a
correspondence which took place a long
time ago between M. Thiers and a lady
now living. My opinion, therefore, is
that M. Thiers wants to get those letters
from Rochefort, &nd that Rochefort either
has purchased or means to purchase his.
liberty with them.” Whether that is the
real- cause of the unaccountable favor
shown to Rochefort or not, I cannot say..
I tell the story ast heard it, and, by no
means indorse it. It appeased' to satisfy
the conventicle and the welf known "ifaaA
sommes Irakis n was very distinctly mur
mured. When Rochefort is-set at liberty,
he will be obliged to again become- con
servative in self-defence.
—The celebrated House contested elec
tion case of Bowen v& DeLarge baa ter
minated as far as the Committee- 00. E lec
tions is concerned. That Committee has
reported to the House that neither con
testant is entitled to the seat. Mr. De-
Large, because he did not receive a suffi
cient number of votes, and Mr. Bowen be
cause since he was elected has accepted
state and county offices in South Carolina,
thus forfeiting bis seat DeLarge has oc
cupied the seat for the whole term except
about six weeks, and, we suppose, will, i
continue to hold it until the House sets
npoa the report of the Committee, which ,
ma¬ he far same tithe.
