is too small a salnry to secure Urn ser
vices of conmctont U .tellers : and I am
fully jiHtiail in urging tho necessity of
increased compensation, it is but just,
mill it will Juwo an olovatlng tendency
not only upon tho toaehors but tho
manner fit which their duties arc per
formed. our attention is called to tho fact
that, notwithstanding tho amplo pro
vision now mailo bv law for tho cdtica
tlou of all puraons between tho aces of
six ami twenty-ono years, largo nuiii
ber of children, principally in ourclt
ies. do no, attend nnv kind of school.
Over twenty thousand of this class aro
found In I'hiladolniiia. and tho number
lu the Btato is estimated nt not loss than
sovotity-llvo thousand. Theso children
Brow up in ignorance, frequently with
out uiiipioyuienr, anil many oi inein
contract habits of vice, which uventu
ally causo them to bo committed to
houses of refuge, county prisons or pen
Itentlarios. Humanity and sound pub
lic policy demand that something bo
dono to remedy this crowimr evil, and
also that of tho neglected condition of
cousiuerauio numbers or children in
the alms and poor houses of many of
mo counties.
Four Normal Schools aro now recog
nized as Stato institutions. Tho num
ber of 3tudculs attending thorn during
tho pvst year was 2,115, of whom eigh

A meeting of tho presidents and otli

to
bring about a closer union of all our ed

bond of sympathy, if not of organ!

schools, academies and colleges. The
establishment of such an educational
department seems to bo desirable.
Thoro is no subject inoro worthy tho

MILITARY.
From tho report oftho Adlutant-

tlio Military Department. The Inactiv
ity in military allairs alter tno cessa
tion of hostilities nnd upon tho return
of peace, has In a great measure been
uispcucd, and an aclivo martial spirit
now prevails throughout tlio Btato ;
moro particularly in Philadelphia,
whero, by a epocial legislative enact'
meat, the minimum number of men re
quired to form a company has been re
duced. and a brigade-fund is raised by
a tax upon tnoso who aro not memuers
of u'milltary organization, but liable to
tno pcriormancu oi mi itarv duty, l
recommend the passage of a similar
law for tho whole State. For tho sake
of preserving tho great interests In
volved, which inctudu the Jives, prop
erty and happiness of our people, this
is presented to you as an important iiiu-
Ject for your deliberation.
l-jvery possiuio encouragement ot vol
unteers has been afforded, nnd notwith
standing tho difficulties Indicated It has
resulted ns follows: In 1SC0 thero were
eight volunteer companies in tlio State
in itiuT.uurty-eignt : and in lsus.seveu
ty-soven, ana a uumuer oi others in
preparation for organization.
By a reduction of tho number for
company from that now required to an
aggregate of fifty oillcers and men,
companies would soon bo numbered by
the hundred, nnv or wh ch cou a easi v
bo recruited to tho maxitim number if
reuuired for active service Tho Stat
th.it always maintains tho highest de
gree of preparation, accomplishes most
and sutlers least in thoconlllct of arms
and by being iu readiness it often pre
vents improper enroaenmunts upon ner
rights.
The Ad utant-Ueneral presents n full
and detailed statement ot tlio disburse

an estimate for tho necessary amironrl

HTATE AGENCY.
Tlio existence of tlio Military Stato
Agency at Washington terminated on
tho 3lst day of July last, at which time
tho appropriation for tho payment of
its expenses was exhausted. Jiucn
benefit resulted to many oftho f-oldiors
oi our state, anu tneir representatives,
from this oillce.in which their Just dues
from tlio United States Government
wero collected and transmitted to them
freo of chargo. In August, after tho
agency ceased to exist, thero htill re
mained a considerable nuniberof unset
tled claims, a nil ns no ono knew moro
about their condition, or could possibly
obtain an earlier settlement of them
than tho lato Agent Col. Cook. I per

transact any other business lor tno sol
diers of Pennsylvniant one half the fees
mat nro en irgeu uy any ner private

and I am pleased to xuld, with vor

REGISTRY LAW.
At tho last session of tliu Legislature
an act was passed. known as tlio "Reels-
try Law," the intention of which was
to protect tho ballot-box ngalnst cor
ruption and fraudulent votiug.to which
it has, lor many years, been tnsgraeo
fully exposed. Tills law seems to hav
ueen so de ectlvo iu somo ol Its pro.
visions ns to havo received the condem
nation of a majority of the Supremo
Court, by which it was pronounced "In
congruous and unconstitutional." At
the election Immediately after this deci
sion, it is alleged that frauds wero pro
petratcd, surpassing in magnitude, per
haps, any that havo been consummated
heretofore in tho history of tlio Com
monwealth. These frauds havo de
monstrated tho necessity of tliu passago
ofsomolawor luws that will accom
plish tho desired object without being
subject to thu exceptlouablo features
pointed out by tho learned gentlemen
who pronounced thu opinion of tlio Su
premo liench.
Thero Is no subject of such vital im
portance lo tlio whole country ns tho
sanctity oftho ballot-box, .aid tho pro
tection of all citizens iu their right to
tlio elective franchise. This right is our
proudest boast. It endows the Ameri
can citizen with a freedom and a power
not possessed by the subject of any other
government. It makes him the peer
of Ids fellow man, whatever may buhls
rank, station, or position iu life. To
bo deprived of it by any means whatev
er, Ids boasted freedom becomo a sham
Ills especial nnd exalted prerogative a
mockery and a Airco. AVhat avulls it
to tho citizen that ho is entitled to a
voto, if that voto is to bo nullified by
fraud? Such guards then should thrown
around tho polls as will effectually, if
poisiuiu.'preservu inein irom the taint
of a slnglo Illegal voto. Not only should
false voting bo fcuverely punished, but
fulso swearing to obtain a vote, bo visit
ed with tho pains and penalties of per
jury, and with perpetual disfranchise,
meut. '
Tho people must bo perfectly freo to
regulate their ptibllv business iu their
own way, and when the volco of tho
majority is fairly nnd clearly expressed
all should bow to It as to tho voice of
God. They nro tho sovereign rulers,
and their will must bo tlio law of the
luud. Corruption ot sull'rngo in a re
publican government Is the deadliest
crimo that can bo perpetrated ; it Is as
sassination of tlio sovereignty of tho
peoplo, and will bo followed by a des
potism, tho motlvo power of which
will bo money nnd peijury. And If this
privilego bo tampered with, sooner or
later tho suro and Indignant popular
couuuiii'iuiioii win uo renuoreu una
coudgn punishment administered. All
good citizens, of whntovor political
opinion, should lend their aid for t-be
accumpiisiiiiiuiii oi any ami every mea
sure that may tend to secure to each vo
ter, not only his right to tlio elective
iranchiso, put inu ossuratico that Ms
voto will not bo rendered valujless by
Illegality, corruption or fraud,
livery proper facility for the natural.
Izatlon of citizens of foreign birth
should be nflbrded ; but I ho Legislature
in its combined wisdom, can surely en
uct toinu modu to prevent tlio possibill
ty of a slnglo voto being cast upon spu
rious nalurall.atlon papers, nnd thus
fully sccuro tlio purity or the electlvo
franchise.
UHV1SION OF THE CIVIL CODE,
The Commissioners npnoln ted to cod

It will bo fully completed within tho
time prescribed by tho legislative reso
lutions of April 8, 180S; and in further
coinptiuucu with them, thoy will cuuso
to bo laid before each branch of the
General Assembly, at Its present sess

INSUltANCE DEPARTMENT.
Among tho subjects of importance to
tlio citizens of Pennsylvania is tlio es
tablishment of an lusuranco Depart
ment. Such departments aro in success
ful operation iu several neighboring
States, by means of which tho interests
of .insurers aro guarded and promoted.
So careful ti supervision is had over the
transactions or lnsuraucocompaniesinat
frauds nro rendered almost imposs
ible nnd spurious companies can
have no oxlstenco. Tho result of the
rotection tints uftorded Is, that whilst
foreign companies thus protected, do

confidence is had in thoso of Pennsyl
vania that their business is inmost en
tirely confined within tho Stato limits :
and lately somo of them havo with
drawn their agencies irom otnor Diates,
bec:iuono risk will bo taken, lu conso-
qttonco of tho Inadequacy of tho laws
to nnord protection to insurers, xo tins
defect, moreover, may be attributed tho
operations of tlio number of worthless
companies which have suddenly sprung
P, without any solid oasis, anu as suu-
deuly expired, to tho injury of nil
wnoso conuuenco tney omameu, nnu to
tho dishonor of tho Commonwealth.
Whilst Pennsylvania Insurance com
panies transact llttlu business outside
of tlio Stato, it is alleged that foreign
life insurance companies nlono paid tax
es last year on threo million eight hun
dred thousand dollars ot premiums re
ceived in Pensylvnnla, a great propor
tion of which would be confined to this
Stato if the samo protection was given
by law to lis citizens ns is niiorueu by
other States. Tho report of tho lusur
anco Department of Now York, pub
lished in 1KU7, snows mat tno compan
ies which wero doing business in 1800,
in Pennsylvania, and also in New York
had risks in force for moro than flvo
thousand million of dollars ; and It is
believed that tho risks iu Pennsylvania
companies, which, for want of a proper
lusuranco uepanmeiu, cannot uu uu.
tallied, would swell thu amount to over
Ms thousand million.
lu view ot those lacts.nnu oi tno cost

been imposed upon and defrauded by
unstihstant ainnuepnemerm companies.
l repeat tno recommendation innue to
tho Legislature nt its last session, that
an Iiuuranco Department bo establish
ed, and a superintendent appointed uy
law, who shall have supervision and
control over all insuranco companies al
lowed to transact business within tno
State, and annually publish, under oath,
lull reports ot their transactions, xno
community Is deeply interested iu this
matter, and demands tno protection
which can thus only bo nlfbrded.

STATE COAT OF ARMS,
Diligent but unsuccessful search lias
been repeatedly mailo for the coat
of arms of tho Stato, and for the
authority under which tho present do
sign was established. It seems that for
years u:i-t no trace of either tho origl
nal authority or design could anywhere
bo found, and it is recommended that
tho Legislature take the necessary steps
to supply tho omission, by such means
as they in their wisdom snail determ

THE SUSQUEHANNA FISHER
IES. A preliminary report on tlio Susfiue-
liaiina fisheries has been submitted by
Col. James Worrul, Civil Engineer,
Commissioner under tho net of tlio
Legislature in rcferenco thereto. Thero
aro somo facts which should bo embodi

CATTLE DISEASE.
Tho prevalenco of contogious or epi
demic diseases among cattle and other
nnlmals has for' somo years past been a
proline source oi anxiety and alarm
among tho producers and consumers of
meats in many of tho States. It was
therefore deemed important to call a
convention of competent persons to
tako Into consideration tho means bast
calculated lo remedy tills great and
growing evil. This convention, com
posed of threo commissioners, appoint
ed in accordance with an agreement by
the several Governors, assembled nt
Springfield, Illinois, on the llrst of Do-
comber last, and an account of their
transactions Is herewith presented.
Without legislative authority, but be
lieving my action would be sanctioned
by tho people's representatives, I ap
pointed Dr. Hiram Corson nud Messrs,
.E. C. Humes nnd A. Royd Hamilton,
commissioners to represent Pennsylva
nia in that convention. Thcso geutlo
men freely gave tholr tlmo and experi
ence, ami also Incurred a pecuniary ox
perleuso of about threo hundred dollars,
to defray which I recommend that an
appropriation bo made,
STATISTICS.
In view of tho vast amount and great
variety of tho products of tlio State, n
desk for tlio collection of statistics, rel
ntlvo to exports and Imports, agricul
ture, manufactures, coal, Iron, oil, lum
ber, &c, might, witli propriety and
profit, be established. Tills could bo
accomplished by the employment of a
competent clerk, under tno supervision
of ono of tlio present heads of depart
ment, whoso duty should be to collect
and publish such facts ns might tend to
stlmulato and increase our productive
energies, Instill new life and vigor into
our manufacturing interests, nud lead
to moro accurate knowlodgo of all our
Internal resources and thu proper meth

uliuiiduut spttcuin tlio Capitol buildings

It is certain that tho lacts notoniyjustl

t.v responsibility oi tno pardoning pow
er,which ranks among tho most difficult
and embarrassing duties.of tho Execu
tive office. Daily beset with powerful
nnd pitiful importunities, as well as
coninciing representations, irom tnoso
in whom ho should be enabled to placo
the fullest confidence, in order to avoid
errors in tho decision of nny case, tlio
uovcruor is compelled to tauc into con
sideration tho anion of tho court before
which tho convict has been tried : tlio
ma esty ot tho law which may or may
not havo been violated ; tho condition
of tlio prisoner; his temptation to err;
tho injury twit may bo mulcted upon
his helpless nnd dependent relatives,
and tliourgumentsand appeals of citi
zens whoso opinions and wishes ho if
bound to respect. And however just
his decision, and humane and generous
hisnction,either Infavoroforagainst tho
petitioner for clemency, ho must expect
to iiavo his motives impugned, ids name
and character maligned, and to sutler
virulent attacks for tlio exerciso of this
most important and merciful prerog.v
tivo.
Tho pardon report will exhibit that
many instances in which Executivo
clemency lias been invoked, youthful
prisoners, charged with tneir nrst oi
tenses, and thoso of a trivial character
have been the recipients. Thoobjoctof
punishment, in an cases, suouid not bu
so much to inflict pain as to reform tho
offender and prevent tho repetition of
ovil deeds. This met is irequeutiy lost
sight oi tu imposing punishment upon
criminals, especially wneu inexperienc
ed youths aro shut up in closo cells wit!
men hardened in crimo, whero Its arts
aro daily (aught and a romanco tiirowr
around its commission. Instead of be
ing improved, they eotno forth at tho
oxpiration of their terms of scntenco
with the loss ot sen respect, tneir moral
sentiments blunted, and prepared to
practico upon society tno luminous les
sons thoy have learned. Such punish
mcnts tend to increase rather than lessen
tho quantity of crime. When bouses
of correction and reformatories aro con
structud, or a proper system of confine
ment ami prison discipline is adopted
tnero win uo a material increase
crime, and comparatively few cases
demand tlio exerciso of lho pardonin
power.
COMMUTATION OF SENTENCES
There are confined in tho Pliiiadel
phia county prison tho following name
convicts, under scntenco of death, for
whoso execution warrants havo not
been Issued : Edward Ford, sentenced
May 12, 1801 ; Jerry Dixon, May !)0,
lbuu; i'atrtcK I'innegnn, i'Cb. ii, ibu;i;
Newton Champion, Dec. 1, lBfiO, and
Alfred Aloxander and Hester Vaughn,
July II, ISO'S. Successive Governors,
for witlsfactory reasons, havo declined
to order tho execution of theso persons.
Tho law requires that they shall bu ex
ecuted in nccordanco with tlio sentence,
unconditionally pardoned, or held iu
close confinement in tho county jail du
ring life. The hitter punishment, witli
tho additional emblttcrmeiit constantly
preying on tho mind thatn death war
rant may nt any moment bo Issued, is,
perliaps, tho severest tliat could bo In
flicted. It would bo both Just and mer
ciful to give tlio Governor authority to
commute tho scntenco of dcatli iu the
nbovo named cases to imprisonment, at
labor, In tho penitentiary, for such a
term of years as tho ameliorating cir
cumstances may seem to justify and de
mand. Ono of tho convicts named lias
been Imprisoned about eighteen years,
and although it might nut bo advisable
to set him at liberty, huumnityyuul tho
ends of Justice require tho commutation
of ids bontonco in tho manner sugges
ted. CONCLUSION.
Tho foregoing subjects havo been
deemed of suillcfeilt Importance to sub
mit nt tho present timo for your infor
mation and consideration. Others may
occur before the closo of tho session
which may bo worthy of snecinl com-
municatlons. It will bo my constant
caro and determination to co-oper.ito
with ybu lu tho prosecution of any
measures that may tend to prcservo
nnd Increase tho prosperity of tho Stnto
and tho happiness of its pcopio, with
tho firm belief that your united wisdom
will aim constantly to promoto theso
desirable results.
Many of the events which havo tran
spired sinco my last annual comifluul
cation to tho Legislature havo been un
usually interesting nnd significant.
Theyitavfl been infinitely moro than
political, and bear directly upon tho
great interests nnd most sacred destinies
of tlio nation. Apart from the vindica
tion of tho principles of tlio party which
sustained tho Government and the ar
my during tlio contest for tho preserva
tion of tho Union, and tho election to
tho Presidency of tho llrst soldier of
inu age, is tno lact that the pcopio have
by triumphant majorities, lorover t-et-tied
our controversy upon curtain fun
danicntul principles. Parties may and
undoubtedly will nrlso upon oilier is
sues, but there can bo uo future strug
gle about slavery. Involuntary servi
tude ns a monopoly of labor, Is forovor
destroyed. Tho monster obstaclo to the
national progress has been removed.
and henceforward nil tho faculties of
our peoplo can bo doveloped "without
let or hindrance." Tlio fair nnd exuli
cruntly fertile States of tho South, here
tofore comparatively retrogressive and
unproductive, rollovod from this terri
ble cutso, with tho Influx of northern
Immigration nnd capital, will soon be
como the rivals of their northern sister
States In nil tho arts of pence; and ad
ditional inarKcis win uo developed in
which to oxchnngo tho varied products
of tho heretofore hostile sections.
Hardly less magical has been tho ef
fect upon other nations. General Grant's
election has continued tho holies of our
nation's menus, nnu tno lenrs or its iocs
In tho Old World. It supplements atid
soals tho verdict of arms nnd progress
f republican principles. Tim downfall
f tho rcbollion in tho United States
was quickly followed by tho great civil
revolution In England: tho peaceful
expulsion of tho last of tho llotirbons
from Spain ; lho unrest of Cuba ; tho
concession of moro liberal principles In
uermany; ami tno necessary acquies
cence of tho Emperor of tlio French in
the republican sentiments ho fears even
ns ho fins betrayed them. What nro
these but tho echoes of the dlro cuius
tropho that has overwhelmed aristocra
cy in tho United States'.'
iNuiwithstaiiding tno nnportanco of
tho issues Involved in tho Into ennvass.
and tho blttorness of feeling as well as
tno earnestness with winch it was con
ducted, lis termination was happily
mot with tho ncutilescenco of nearly tho
wliolo pcopio; nnd at no tlmo In tho
nisiory oi tno nauou has tnero been
opened boforo us a brighter nrnsnent of
continued peace and increasing pros
perity aim wo iiavo no greater causo
for Universal concraf illation thntt that
no differences of opinion now exist that
can materially mar our national happi
ness, retard our onward pi ogress, or
threat'in the pcaco and perpetuity of
our government.
In conclusion permit mo to remark
that tho voieo of Pennsylvania, as well
that of a majority of the Status, has at
tno uauui-uox proclaimed to tno world
that ail our national indebtedness, no
matter now heavy tno iniriien, will bo
paid according to "tho letter and splr-
t" oi inu agreements mailo and enter-
il in tu thu tlmo thodebt was contract
ed, and that in tills us in all other res
pects our individual and national hon
or "must nnd shall ho preserved;" that
wo aro determined by alt honorable
means in our power to secure ample
neouragement and protection to eacli
and every branch ot Homo Industry.
and every manly entefprlso thnt con
tributes capital, labor, skin and Indus
try to our material wealth, social ad
vauccment and political trunmiilitv
that for nil of our citizens tlio children
of tho Commonwealth being also citi
zens or the united States, wo demand
the fullest protection, in their persons,
their property, and in nil their rights
nnd privileges wherever they may go
within tho national Jurisdiction or in
foreign lands; and that whilst our fi
nancial policy shall bo such as to main
tain uutrnmmcicd our national crcuit.
it is to bo hoped that it may at tho
same time bs such ns will permit and
sanction tno construction ot tno great
railways now in progress and stretching
out their giant arms to grasp tho migh
ty commerce of tho Pacific, to develop
the untold resources of wealth in thu
intervening territories, nnd to connect
tno most distant portions 01 our coun
try in a common union, hot only with
iron bands, but by tlio still stronger
nnd more indiisoliiblo tlesof a common
interest and n common brotherhood.
To lessen tho burdens of tlio people
and to keep tlio expenses of tho Stato
ns nearly as possibio wltiiin tho limit;
of its absoluto necessities, will alwav;
bo among tho chief oblects of wisonnd
just legislation. Let us, then, with
uuo sciiso 01 our oougations anu nigi
responsibilities, endeavor to discharge
our duties as to secure tlio greatest good
ol tlio community and mcrlttheappro
bation of Him by whom our Common
wealth has been so abundantly blessed

We lay before our readers this wcel;
tho Governor's Message, to tliu exclu
s!on of much moro interesting matter
but wo hold it to bo our duty topublisl
all important documents from whatov
ersourco they may einanule.
Tho Mcssago contains no new points
and not ninny facts to which it is ne
essary to call attention. His exhibit of
the Treasury shows that millions of dol
l.trs aru.loft toniccuinulato in tho hand
of the Treasurer, who gives noadco.uuto
security for tlio same. These immeti
amounts instead of being used to pay
off our Stato debts, aro kept for specu
latlvo purposes, or for thu iiso iif corrupt
politicians.
Ily tho exhibit of tho Govornor, tli
public debt Is still over $03,000,000, and
though in tho past eight years (15,000.
OOOof roventto iiavo been paid into tho
Treasury, only $1,000,000 of tho debt
has been cancelled. Whero has the re
malutng $01,000,000 gone?
Tho (.'onstittition of our Stato ids
creates a Sinking Fund for tlioredcnip
tlon of tiio public debt, and by an act
of tlio Legislature certain specified
sources of revenue, aro to bo used for
that purpose, and nny misapplication
of tlio fund Is to bo visited witli a pen
ally of $1,000. Yet sine 1831 thero has
been paid into tho Sinking Fund oyer
$2.1,000,000, and nt least $21,000,000 of it
havo been applied to other purposes I
If this fund had been honestly used ou
Stato debt would not now oxcecd $15,
090,000, instead of $33,000,000. on which
wo pay $2,000,000 Interest annually.
The Messago also shows that about
$5,000,000 of Stato bonds were cancelled
bearing Interest at -1J nnd 5 per cont
Inasmuch n3 Pennsylvania has over
$25,000,000 af Ponds at six per cent, in
terest, why In tho namo of common
sense wcro thoy not redeemed y?,thus
saving tho Stato tho dtllercneo lu inter
est? It looks much llko tho Radical
financiering of two years ago, which
called lu Stato bonds not due bearing
flvo per cent. Interest, In order to issue
$25,000,000 of now bond? at slxjier cent.
and which aro exempted from taxation
whereby the Slato loses over $180,000
per annum.
Tho Governor speaks encouragingly
of our Military establishment, Consid
ering that thoro nro nut n dozen regi
ments organized, nnd that our military
expenses fur tliepnst year wero $100,000,
wo think tlio luxury of military parades
can lie dispensed with until our heavy
tax burdens nro somowhnt reduced,
Tho frequent censures oftho press for
tho abuse of tho pardoning power, lias
drawn a long dofouso from the Gover.
nor. Among tho cases appended Is
quo from our county, viz ;
.1. Parvln Eves nud Geo. W. M'Ewen.
Indicted iu Columbia county Dec. 2, '07
on tlio charge of "Rejecting tho Votoof
a Qualified Elector." Pardoned Jan.

who stato that tho defendants wero Jud
ges of election In Greenwood township,
mi nctcd in pursuance oi tno net ot mo
.legislature disfranchising deserters:
nnd thnt they deservo not only protec
tion but praisofor their patriotism and
fidelity in fulfllllne? their obligations as
good citizens.
Among tho persons recommending
thcso criminals for pardon wo observe
tho uames of a, couplo of our County
nttornles. How members of tlio legal
profession can conscientiously com mend
citizens for n wilful violation of tlio
iw, passes our comprehension.
Tlio Governor mentions tho death of
Tliaddctis Stovens nnd other prominent
clllitons, but studiously avoids mention
ing tho deceaso of Ex-President Uu-
chaiian, who mado Geary Governor of
Kansas. A studied insult llko this to
one of Pennsylvania's most Illustrious
sons shows tlio littleness of John Geary.
As lho most of our readers will read
tho Mes-agc for themselves, wo forbear
further comments on 11 for the present.
