ton which resulted in the death of ten per- j
sons. Heocc it is absolutely necessary, aim |
should be imperatively demanded, that ;
every mine should have more than a single
avenue of ingress and egress. Whether as
regards fire, or any other source of danger ,
to which the miner is exposed, th:s is his
surest promise of safety. Whatever sys
tem of ventilation may be approved, or
safety lamp adopted, the means of escape
from the mines, whon danger occurs, will
depend very materially upon the provision
made for the exit of the miner.
The best method of constructing, ventila
tion and working the mines, should be un
hesitatingly adopted; and the system adopt
el rigidly enforced. The inquiry, therefore,
into the causes which produced this shock
ing catastrophe—the various theories that
hive been promulgated toncerning it, the
remedies to** the prevention of similar oc
enrrence hereafter, the construction and
ventilation of collieries, and the modes ot ,
conducting *lieir operations so tuat the op- |
C rati VPS roav prosecute their labor without
imperilling their Jives, are proper subjects i
for legislative consideration.
Such laws a- you may enact can most cer- 1
tainly be enforced by competent inspectors i
in the mining districts, who should be cho ■
sen with strict regard to character, integri :
ty, capability and scientific knowledge : and ;
who-e duties should be so specifically de- j
fined that they cannot be mi-understood.
I. therefore, most respectl'ul'y and earn
estly recommend that this whole subject re- j
ceive the attention its importance demand-, j
and that a law be passed, so general in its j
character ant} so stringent in its provisions j
that the people of this Commonwealth will :
never again be appalled by a calamity with-i
in her limits, so sad as that of Avondale.
Board of Public Charities.
In accordance with an act of the last Leg- I
islature, a Board of Public Charities has j
been appointed, consisting of the following t
gi-nilemen, viz : Gen. Thomas L. Kane, for j
five years; F B. Penniman, Esq., four
years; lion. G. Dawson Coleman three
years; George L. Harrison, Esn., two years:
and-*— , one year. The board or
ganized by electing Gen. Kane, President,
and Hon. Wihner Worthington, Secretary
and General Agent. From the establish
ment of this board, and especially from the
high character and qualifications of the
gentlemen who have consented to assume
its important trusts and responsibilities, we
have reason to hope for the most beneficial
results. This change in the management
of our charitable affairs is deemed of the
highest importance by many persons inti
mately conversant with the workings and
management of these institutions.
A thorough review of all the establish
ments receiving appropriations from the
State by this board, will give an assurance
to the Legislature and the people, which
they have never heretofore possessed, that
their benefactions will be worthily be-towed
and properly employed.
Some time during the present session, the
board wiil present to the Legislature, a re
port of the condition and requirements of ]
the various institutions that Lave been re
cipients of appropriations from the State,
wit h such recommendations as may be deem
ed necessary; and, therefore, no inform a- :
tion concerning them, except the annual re- j
ports of the superintendents, will at present
be laid before you.
Geological Survey.
Many prominent citizens have represent
ed that there exists great necessity for a
more complete geological and mineralogical
survey of the State than at present exists.
There is no doubt but the developments
of mineral wealth that would result from
such a survey would be immense, and the
beneficial returns to the State would many
times more than reimburse theTrea*ury for
the expenses attending it, including the
printing report*, maps, &c., sufficient for
the information of the people.
Should the Legislature concur in these
views, and pass a law authorizing such a
survey, it wiil meet with Executive approv
al.
Lisped ion of Gas.
At the last session a law was passed crea
ting the office of inspector ot gas and gas
metres for the county of Allegheny ; and in
accordance therewith, 1 have appointed an
inspector possessing the necessary scientific
qualifications.
The necessity for such a law has been
long aud extensively felt, and it has been
earnestly demanded by a large number of
highly respectable citizens, who.-e o; .nions
are eminently worthy o( consideration. I
therefore respectfully recommend that the
just and equitable provisions of the Alle
gheny county law be extended toothercoun
ties in which ens i> largely consumed.
Revision of lite Civil Code.
The law on this subject -1 res not contem
plate a full report from tlie Commissioners
to revise the general statutes of the State,
before the session of 1871. It may, how
ever, be important to state that this work
has so far progressed as to make it almost
eerta n that it will be completed and ready
for the press so soon after the close of the
present session as will ellow time :o bring
within the code such of your enactments as
may with propriety be incorporated.
The Comnii ,ers wi 1 report for your
consideration, hie revised school laws, as
the present edition is exhausted, and it
would be inexpedient to re-print them,
when they might be superseded,by others
in the course of the current year.
A general road law, and one fur the sup
port and maintenance of the poor, have
heretolore bet n reported but not definitely
acted upon, and the frequent demtuds made
for such enactments to correct many exist
ing abuses, and supply a common public
want, render it desirable that these enact
ment should receive your early attention.
The State census will be taken during the
year, and the law for its regulation having
in it some provisions not now required, a
revised bill will be presented by the Com
missioners for legislative action.
In view of the changes which the revised
code is expected to produce, it is desirable
that no more laws of a general character be
enacted than is indispensably necessary, as
they might occasion a necessity for a revi
sion of what has already received appropri
ate attention, aud cause uelav in the com
pletion of the work.
Statistics.
A great convenience has long been felt in
every department of the executive and leg
islative branches of the government, for the
want of properly recorded statistical infor
mation, relating to the development and !
growth of the resources of the Common- I
wealth. It is impossible for any State offi
cer to report the actnal or even the approx !
imate amount of any of our great natural i
resources, and it cannot be ascertained from
year to year the amount of coal mined, pe- I
troleum produced, lumber cat or iron man :
ulactured, without special reference to those I
who have charge of the industries growing
out of these products. At very little cost!
and ,abor, statistics relating to all tfese ob
jects could be gathered and annually em
braced in a report to be made to, and pub
lished by the Legislature. The value of
such information would be of incalculable
importance in an official way, as well as in
the general business of the country. It
would stimulate competition, exhibit the in
exhaustible materials within our borders
and give our peopie and others, a more per- !
led idea of our wealth and resources. The
rt.-ouiruendatiou made ia-t year fur the es !
tablishment of a desk for the collection and
preservation of statistics relative to crports 1
and imports, agriculture, manufactures,
coal, iron, oil. lumber, &c., and for toe col
lection of minoralogical and geological spec
imens. and other things that may be deem
ed appropriate to such a department, is res
pectfully renewed, with the suggestion that
the duties be attached to the office of the
Librarian and his Assistant, with a reason
aloe increase of compensation, and an an
propriation fur the same.
Prison Discipline.
In atwrdanee witha law approved April
ph i ij''i .Mahlon H. Dickinson, Esq.. of
ltaifctklphia was appointed "to visit, for
philanthropic purposes, the prisons and
almshouses in the various counties of the
ummonwealth. His second report which
herewith presented, embraces a vast
amount of useful information, and will be
found highly interesting and worthy of ma
ture consideration. It will be seen that
whiie some of our county prisons have been
constructed and are being conducted with
strict regard to the proper objects of pun
ishment, others are utterly unfit for any
such purposes, and are a disgrace and re
proach to a civilized age and a Christian
people. The Commissioner, in regard toi
some of these, describes them "as being un
safe, where prisoners could not be held un
less loaded with chains, whore the sexes
were not separated, where there was no dis
cipline, or any effort made towards the tnor
al or religions improvement of the inmat-s.
the buildings totally unfit for the purposes
of a prison; and where the prisoners become
schooled iu vice, and even ually graduated
prepared for %,jife of lawlessness. In
some of the prisons the cells are represented
as contracted dungeons, into which not a
ray of sunshine or a draft of pure air can
enter, and in which a human being could
not possibly live through a lengthy term of
sentence. And in still others, in conse
quence of the want of proper accommoda
tions, all classes of criminals, from the most
hardened and aged to the youth of tender
years, are permitted to congregate, and in
dulge in card playing, profanity, and almost
every species ot immorality and crime. I n
der such circumstances, reformation, which
is the grand object of divine, and should be
of all human laws and punishments, is ren
dered impossible; whilst hideous lesson* of
vice arc taught and learned, to be piacticed
when future opportunity occurs. This is
all wrong, and a remedy for the evil should
by all means be applied. No community
has a moral or legal right to inflict punish
ment as a mere retaliatory measure, or in
such a manner as to endanger the health
and life ot the criminal, to deaden him to
j all the better sensibilities of bis nature, and
: to absolutely harden him to the commission
1 of crime.
The commissioners appointed "to inquire
\ into the various systems of prison discipline,
as practiced in other Stales and countries,
as compared with what is known as the
j Pennsylvania system, will submit you
I their report at an early day, from which
| you will learn that the capacity of our
; penitentiaries is at present competent for
I the safe keeping and proper punishment of
1 all offenders of the higher grades, and that
! work houses and houses of correction are
needed for those whose crimes are ofa mare
i trivial character, and whose reformation
! and future usefulness may be accomplished
; by u humane system of discipline, such as
1 will be recommended.
The Judiciary.
Communications have been received from
various parts of the .State, representing that
the present judicial force is inadequate lor
the purposes designed. Since the number
of judges was fixed, the business ol the
courts has greatly increased, with our rap
idly expanding population, and the mul
tiplication of commercial and business op
erations of our growing Commonwealth.
How far relief should be afforded is well
worthy of careful consideration.
In oue district of the Supreme Court,
over seven hundred new ca.-es have been
docketed within one year. .Many of these
involve very large amounts, and important
legal principles; and their proper considera
tion imposes upon the judges great labor
and responsibility. In the other districts
of this court the argument lists are also be
coming so crowded that it is impossible to
dispose of the business with that prompt
ness and intelligence demanded by the pub
lic interests; and especially, with one of the
judges, as now required by law, assigned to
duty in the court of nisi prim at Ptialadel
phi i. 1 therefore earnestly recommend an
additional judge for this court, believing it
a public necessity, in justice to the many
suitors, and to the judges who have more
work than should be required of the pres
ent number ot men, let them be ever so
laborious and efficient.
Boundary Line.
Ia obed-ence to "an act to settle, deter
mine and locate the southern boundary line
of the Commonwealth," approved March
30, 1860, I appointed .Jatnes Worrall. E-q.,
of Ilarrisbure, and Strickland Eneas-,
Esq.. of Philadelphia, both civil engineers,
Commissioners on the part of Pennsylvania,
to act "in conjunction with like Commis
sioners on the part of the State of De!a
ware."
The Governor of that State was prompt
ly furnished with a copy of the act. and in
formed of the appointment of Cutnmis
sinners under it, and his co-operation in
vited. But, so far as lam advised, no ac
tion of any kind has been taken by Dela
ware on the subject; and consequently the
work contemplated by the act above re
ferred to has not been performed.
l'our special attention is invited to the
report of our Commissioners, which is here
with communicated.
In Mtmoriam.
ft is eminently proper that special notice
should be taken of the decease of such per
! sons is have occupied prominent positions
| in, and rendered distinguished services to
the State. Conspicuous among the-e wore
Hon. Joseph Kitner and Hon. David R.
Porter, both of whom died during the pre
prcscnt administration. During their event
Jul lives they shared largely in the public
confidence and regard, aud filled many
posts of honor, trust and responsibility, in
cluding that of Governor, with distinguish
ed fidelity and patriotism. They were con
spicuously identified with all the grave and
important questions of State policy and ad
ministration, through the eventful period
in which they lived, and contributed largely
to shape and strengthen the firm foundations
of our Commonwealth, upon which others
have been enabled to build securely. They
have passed away, ripe in years and full of
honors; and it is respectfully submitted
whether it be not proper for the Legislature
to take some appropriate notice of the la
mented death of theso two distinguished
public servants.
Pardons.
It has grown into a custom to regard an
application for Executive clemency as an in
dispensable part of the machinery of crimi
nal jvi..tico. Itacauso tho lOvocutivc 1 1 in
vested with the power to pardon, it is hy
many supposed that he has not only the
right, but that it is his du*y to examine into
| every allegation of error, and give a favora
} ble response to every application: and hence,
| petitions for pardon are bceoui'ng so Dumer
-1 mis that the mere examination of them is
exhaustive of a large amount of valuable
time ; at least ar, hour in each case, exclu
sive of the time occupied in correspon fence
with tlio judges, district attorneys and other
parties. _ Criminals are no sooner convicted,
than their friends, and other interested par !
ties, who seem to think that it is the Gov
Conor's constitutional duty to nullify the I
laws instead of seeing that they are faithful
ly executed, prepare a raid upon him, and
employ in their importunities for pardon
every device that human ingenuity can sug
jrest; and if but a tithe of the represent*
tions set forth were believed, one would bo .
led to suppose that our courts are daily ,
guilty of the grossest blunders, and tha't
justice is far more blind than she has ever
been painted by the most skillful artist.
During the year ending December 31,
1809, there have been fifteen hundred aud
fifty applications for pardon, of which sixty
two. orTour per cent., were granted, eleven
hundred and eight rejected, and three hund
red and eighty are sttU under advisement.
For some reason, not easily understood,
it seems that public sentiment has become
perverted on this important subject of par
don*. The framors of our government, as I
understand it, never contemplated or in
tended an indiscriminate use of the pardon
ing power. It was only designed fur the
correction of manifest errors or oppression*,
palpable mistakes, cases of after discovered
evidence, and others of exceptional charac
i ter. Both the theory of our government
| and public policy require that the pardon
i ing power should be kept, within these rea
sonable limits; and not be made an instru
ment to defeat the execution of the law*
and the administration of public justice.
All ordinary cases, therefore, ore wholly
outside of, and in conflict with, the princi
ple on which Executive clemency should be
based ; and none such should be presented
for consideration. It is earnestly hoped the
publie will understand and act in accordance
wi'h this view of the subject, as due alike
of Executive aud a proper regard for the ex
ecution of the lews.
National Affairs.
Having laid before you a general survey
of the affairs and condition of the Statm
which relate ttf the common welfa.-e.it af
fords uie also the highest gratification to
add that the amicable intercourse and pleas
ant relations which have an long existed be
tween the government of Pennsylvania aod
the government of all the other States of
the Laioc, "to preserve, protect and de
fend ' these fundamental principles of hu
inanity, equal rights aod equal justice to all.
universal freedom and a united country, is
greatly strengthened.
The general relations of the National Gov
ernment, as set forth in the recent annual
message ot toe PrebiJeoC, continue to be
B."peace at home aud without entangling alli
ances abroad;" the reconstruction of the
States jately in rebellion is beiog rapidly
accomplished—the revenues . are faithfully
collected—the National debt is beiog liqui
dated, at, the rate of about one hundred
million dollars per annum, and repudiation
has been emphatically repudiated. A strict
and uncompromising adherence to this poli
cy by a prudent and economical administra
tion has already restored the National char
acter to the fullest confidence in the minds,
not only of our countrymen but of foreign
ers, and has allayed all spirit of discontent
that might have been dangerous to the sta
bility of our institutions.
There is another subject also of National
importance claiming our attention, because
it directly affects the industrial ojicrarion*
in which Pennsylvania is so largely interest
ed. .Movements, characterized with the
greatest energy, are now being made by
those interested in free trade, to induce
; Congress to take such action as will permit
the free introduction of steel, iron and iron
materials for ship buildings, and main oth
er modifications of the tariff laws. Should
such efforts be successful, the result must
prove disastrous to the great coal, iron and
other interests of our State, diminishing the
production of iron and other manufactured
articles, and consequently tbo consumption
of coal, and be destructive to our valuable
home markets. It would also prove disas
trous to many of our capitalists and working
people—depriving them of all reasonable
prospects of future activity and remuncra
ting wages—and bring our producers into a
ruinous competition with pauper labor from
abroad. So far as the present System af
fords protection to the manufactures, labor
and products of Pennsylvania, it is obliga
tory uoon us to use all honorable means to
prevent any reduction of existing duties.
Our miners, laborers and manufacturers
should not be thrown out of employment by
the proposed change of duties on foreign im
• ports, which has always heretofore resulted
in the prostration of evtry department of
trade, labor and bu-iness. and entailed upon
: us ih - manifold evils of National, State and
individual bankruptcy. We owe it as ade
ty to our constituents to instruct our Sena
tors and request our Representatives in tVui
_rre>s to oppose all such attempts. For the
-ame rea ons we should oppose any rc-ciproe
ity treaties by which the people of Canada
can gain advantages over our own lumber-
I men. farmers and other producers, within
! our limits.
While acknowledging the rightful consti
tutional authority of the General Govern
ment to dispose of all questions relative to
national affairs, and while in no manner
seeking to interfere with fhe exercise of that
authority, I cannot refrain from alluding tS
the fact, that for more than a year, a brave
people in Cuba have been struggling for
their independ nee against great odds, in the
face of barbarities and atrocities which will
forever bo a foul biot upon the history ot
Spain. We should indeed t>e unmindful of
humanity and of the greatness of our na
tionality, if we omitted to notice this patri
otic effort by the Cubans to throw off the
Spanish yoke, and like our own ancestors,
"to assume among the powers of the earth
the separate and equal station to which na
ture and nature's God entitle them." The
now organization has abolished slavery, and
attested its right not only to our sympathy,
but to recognition, by the vigor and de termi
nation of its resistance to the oppressions of
the mother country. Almost from the be
ginning of our National Government, Con
gre-s has furnished numerous precedents
for the action here indicated, even when the
people struggling for liberty were not upon
the American continent. They recognized
Greece in her efforts to establish her nation
ality against Turkish oppression. The same
-pirit prevailed not only towards Poland,
Italy and Hungary, hut to Ireland in all her
movements to regain her long lost national
ity. These countries had the unmistakable
sympathy of the people of the United
States, and our public men, in every branch
of the government, never hesitated to speak
in their defence. In the case; of the French
revolution, the statesman of America gave
every encouragement to the people of that
country to establish a Republican form of
Government. Upon this continent there
a e numerous instances of active sympathies
with the struggles of the people for liberty
in various nations. Tn the case of Texas,
during her conflict with Mexico, she not on
!y had our undisguised friendship, but
obtained our recognition of her independent
nationality, and soon after wards she was
annexed to our great sisterhood of States.
It is in singular contrast with these his
toric precedents, that the people of Cuba
have as yet received no national encourage
tnent or recognition, while they are imita
ting the example of our fathers, who, as
colonists, struck down the hand which op
pressed them, and established for them
selves a free and independent government.
There is no question but that the patriots of
Cuba have the warm and emphatic sym
pathy of a great majority of the people of
this and other States, and I bat give ut
terance to what is an abiding sentiment
among the masses, when I declare a hearty
sympathy with the people of that Island
now endeavoring to east off the yoke of op
pression fastened so long upon them by an
intolerant government. The gem of the
Amides of right, belongs to republican rule,
and is, to all intents and purposes, covered
by the Monroe doctrine, so that whatever
recognition the government might extend
to republicans of Cuba, it would only
amount to the practical enforcement of what
our nation has so long advanced in theory.
Cuba is an American island. Geographi
cally it belongs to tbc United States. Its
icquisition has been a leading principle with
many of our ablest statesman from n early
period in our history. Jefferson, Madison,
Adams. Clay, \ an Iluren, Bueha ian and
many oilier.-? advocated ilic incorporation of
Cuba into the Union. It is hoped the time
will soon eomc, if it has not already arrived,
when by the enunciation of a prompt and
decided policy a brave people may be recog
nized as independent, and the cause of re
publican principles receive new encourage
ment.
The management of our national finances
i is one of the most delicate and important
questions now under consideration by the
American people, and while it is not tny in
: reotion to offer anv plan to settle a matter
which seems to give so rwieh tronble to
many of our most experienced financiers, a
! few suggestions uray not ha out of place.
It will be remembered that by the estab
lishment of our National banks, the best
and safest paper currency that ever existed
;ia this nation has been afforded. (Jreat
1 caution shou d therefore be taken not to
I mar a system that has been so generally
•beneficial, \Vhcn the government estab
fished the National banks, our State banks
were tased out of existence and destroyed
as such, but in many instances they were
renewed by the solemn enactment of Con
gress. under whoso supervision they weie
promi-ed a just, kind and fostering care. It
seems unjust, therefore, that the govern
ment should propose towithdiawa part of
their circulation from them and give it to
ne w on'-s to bo organized where none now
exist. If new banks should be created
wherever they may be required, they should
receive their circulation from an increase of
the amount now authorized by law. The
circulation to bo the same as (he banks now
have, and on the same kind of securities.
1 n my opinion, a policy of expansion of the
currency should be adopted that will give
ea-c and comfort to the people, and that
will cheer up and re as-ure our business men
and put the wheels of commerce, maculae
factures and labor in full operation. It wid
prevent a decline in the revenues derived
from the tariff and internal taxation, and
will save thousands of citizens from the !
crushing effects of contraction. As a part
of the same policy, there should be no he-i :
tation about the abandonment of the idea
of reducing the currency by the adoption ofj
any plan to curtail the amount ol legal ten- ,
ders now in circulation.
The constant and natural approach to
specie payments is the only safe mode, in
my opinion, to accomplish that desirable
end. Any compulsory law that may be
enacted in ail probability he a failure.
1 do not hesitate to say that the contraction
of the currency at this time would be pro
ductive of gicat injury both to individuals
and to the general interest of the Nation.
Let there be a liberal encouragement of rail
roads, manufactures and every project that,
will afford employment and compensation to
®®t toiling millions. Encourage a vigorous
collection of the revenues on luxuries. .Main
tain a strong treasury, with gold sufficient
to keep a check upon those who might be
disposed to disturb the natural tendvuey to
wards specie payments, or for the purposes
of speculation. There should be a steady
but moderate reduction of the National debt,
a funding of the preseut six per cent, five
twenty bonds iu others, at a lower rate of
interest, not by compulsion but by fair deal
ing. and the establishing of a sinking fund
at such a rate as wiil pay off the debt in !
about thirty ypars. We shall then not only
find the business of the country
but our business nen ready to expand their
operation* with the greatest encouragement.
The foregoing arc the only subjects con
nected with State ami National affairs that I
have deemed of sufficient importance to
offer for your consideration at the present
time; and 1 conclude by expressing the
hope that jour session will be marked
by harmony among yourselves and the
members of the several State Departments,
and your deliberations re-ult in lasting
benefit to the Commonwealth.

gTANDARD PERIODICALS FOR 1870.
; Republish d by the lnnnatd Scott Pub
lishing Co., Nnc York.
Indispensable to all desirous of being well inform
ed on tbe great subjects of tbe day.
1. THE EDINBURGH REVIEW.
This is the oldest of the series. In its main
i features it still follows in tbe path marked out by
Brougham, Jeffrey, Sydney Smith, aud Lord Hol
: land, its original founders and first contributors.
2. THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
{ which commences its 128lh volume with the Jan
uary number, was set on foot as a rival to the
J EDI.NBUKCH. It resolutely maintains its opposi
tion in politics, and shows equal vigor in its liter
ary depsitment.
3. THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW
has just closed its 92d volume. In point of liter
ary ability this Review is fast r.sing to a level
j with its competitors. It is the advocate of polit
j icai aud religious liberalism.
4. THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
now in its 51st volume, occupies a very high po
, sitian in periodical literature. Passing beyond
I the narrow formalism of schools and parties, it
appea's to a wider rango of sympathies and a
higher integrity of conviction.
5. BLACKWOOD'S KDINBURG MAGAZINE
was commenced 52 years ago. Equalling the
Quarterlies in its literary and scientific depart
ments, it has won a wide reputation for the nar
ratives and sketches which enliven its pages.
