In traiisuiiiting to you tlio seventy

It allordi mu the highest gratllleatlon to
congratulate you, and our fellow citi
zens generally, on their enjoying, to nn
iitiusual decree, tlio blessings of health
nnd unstinted pro.-pcrlty; and that our
principles and institutions tlio prldo
and boast of every truo-liearted patriot
although tried again In tlio eruclblo
of a heated political contest, tlio hcav
ings of pof ular passion, and tho collis
ion of parties, from which wo havojust
emerged, remain unimpaired and vital
In every part.
Under such ausniclous circumstances
youiavo assembled for tho purpose of
discharging mo important amies, ami
assuming tlio .special responsibilities
which devolve upon you. It is ex
tremely difficult, even with tho greatest
caution lu your deliberations, to enact
laws that will fully meet tho expecta
tions and approbation of all tho people;
but much of this difficulty may bo over
come by avoiding legislation for per
sonal and special interests, and not be
ing unmindful of the magnitude of tho
Interests of the State, and of Its rapidly
advancing population, wealth, nnd in
lliienco to destinies beyond tho reach
of human vision. A nobler heritage
was never given to man than that
which wo possess; geographically and
politically of tho greatest Importance;
an nrca of moro than forty-four thous
and fquaro miles; diversified with
mountains, vnllevs. ulalns. rivers :
mountains covered with majestic forests
of valuable timber of almost every va
riety ; plains dotted witli comfortable
Homesteads, nnd presenting wcii-cuiti-vated
farms and luxuriant fields mark
ed by the advancement of agriculture
tho parent, supporter, nnd stimulator
of every species of Industry, exchange,
and commerce hills and valleys with
teeming mines of all tho varieties of
coal, Iron, oil, salt, and other minerals ;
with farmers, manufacturers, mechan
ics, wool-growers, coal and Iron miners,
oil producers and merchants full of ac
tivity and eoufidenc; with thousands
of miles of railroads nnd canals to turns
fer the vast products to market, and
ni 'commodate tho I ravel of fou r ml 1 1 ions
of happy and prosperous people. Nor
should wo bo forgetful of education In
all Us branches, of tho nubile charities,
prisons, reformatories, the collection of
properly iniposeu taxes, tne Fpeeuy re
duction of the Stato debt, the prcherviv
tlou of older, nnd thu moro certain nro
lection of life, business and property.
All these interests and perhaps others
or equal importance, demand legisla
tion of the mrst enlightened, liberal,
and comiirehenslve character.

Agreeably to un act dated March 110,

Tho principal of one of said bonds
($100,000) shall be payablo each and
every year, beginning Jan. 1, 1875, and
so continuing annually increaiier until
thu said bum of $3,500,000 shall bo paid,
with Interest thereon from Jan. 1. 1872.
Thu citizens of Pennsylvnnia havo
nlwnys homo taxation not only patient
ly but cheerfully, nnd they nro btill us
willing ns ever to contribute to tho pay
ment of all tho obligations resting upon
tho Stato; but they expect their public
servants who nro entrusted with tho
management of their affairs to act upon
llii! most nrudent and economical basis.
In a word, they demand reform in tho
management oftho llyanelal affairs of
mo otitic, unei, us lar ns possible, Hie
reirencnment. oi on unnecessary expen
ditures.
On the COth of January last, replying
to a resolution of tho Senate. I said!
"I havo tho honor to acknowledge
tho receipt, through tho clerk of vour
honorable body, a copy of tho following
resolution, passeti on mo ltn Hist., to
wn:
"Jiesalvcd, That tho Governor be re
(itiestcd to Mibmllsomo ulau to the Sou
ate to secure tho Stnto from loss by tho
nccumuiniiou oi largo amounts oi Mir
plus funds in tho treasury.
in repiy, i ueg icavo to direct your
attention to my messago of January 8,
ibus, in which l say, 'llio naianco now
in tne treasury mi-rnt no rendered nro
ductivu by belnn invested In tho bomb
ol tno Mlate, bearing six per cent inter
est ;' nnd to the mcsstigo of Jan 0, 18G9,
where I remark, 'whenever there may
bo surplus funds In the treasury they
enn with snfety nnd Leneflt to the Stnte
bo employed lu tho purchase of its out
standing bunds, and In saving tho inter
est on tlu-m which would accumulate
prior lo their maturity.' "
Since making these suggestions, and
maturely deliberating upon tho subject,
I have teen no reason lo chnnco my
mind lu relation thereto: nnd now tub-
mlt thu same plan, more especially set
lortu, based upon tlio luilowing state
ment of tho loans of tho Common
wealth, viz:
Amount of over duo loans,
Including bank charter
loans and relief notes un
redeemed S.lfiO, 182 25
Amount payable In
1S70, Interest 5 per cent. 1,183,815 05
1871, Interest 0 per cent. 2,820,750 00
1872, intere'st 0 per cent. 4,907,750 00
1872, interest 5 ner cent. 92.150 00
1877, Interest C per cent. 7,909,000 00
1877, interest 5 per cent. 3,931,100 00
1878, interest 5 per cent. 321,000 00
1879, interest G per cent. -100,000 00
18S2, interest (i per cent. 9,273,050 00
1SS2, interest 5 per cent. 1,185,950 00
18S2, Inteiest 4J per cent. 112,000 00
Amount of loans 32,810,017 90
To tho liquidation of these loans tho
surplus funds in thu Treasury could.
with great propriety be applied. This
indebtedness is held In bonds bcarlntr
interest; and It will readily bo perceiv
ed that this Interest will bo saved to
tho Stato upon whatever amount of
these bonds may bo redeemed, and tho
Stato bo saved from all risks of loss by
tho accumulation of largo nmounts of
surplus funds In tho Treasury.
A few illustrations will show tho ben
eficial workings of this plan. At tho
termination of tho fiscal year ending
November 80, 18G8, thcro was an unex
pended balance in tho Treasury of $1,
102,915.37. If tho suggestions hereto
fore matlo bail been carried out by tho
Investment of ono million of dollars,
at that time, In tho flvo per cent, bonds
that will fall due July 1, 180, and
which, 1 tun credibly informed, could
then have been purchased at something
less than their par value, tho interest
on tho same, from Novembor 80, 1SGS,
to July 1, 1809, would bo (79,107.03,
which has been lost to the State. Again
on I lie 30th of November, 1809, there
was In tho Ticasury an unexpended bal
anco ol $1,100,802 49. If ono million,
four bundled thousand dollars of this
bum had been invested In tho samo
kind of bonds, nt par, on tho 1st day ol
December, 1809, tho interest for the
seven remaining months, ending July
1, 1670, would bo f 10,833 31, but which
in eonsequeneo of non-conformity to
this plan, win uu iosi to tne common
wealth. I cannot reiterate too strongly
my recommendations on this subject,
nnd would, therefore, recommend tliat

iitiai institutions, without requiring
from thoso who receive nnd disburse

that It has been faithfully nmillcd to tho
objects Intended. This is wrong, and
should bo corrected without delny. All
ouicers oi mo ntnto who receive) public
moneys, not excepting tho Governor,
tiro required by law and usage to bottle

COMMON SCHOOLS.
Tho peculiar Interest which is always
manifested by tho people in tho subject
of education, Is an inducement to lay
before you, moro at length than would
otherwise bo done, tho principal statis
tics of tho system drawn from tlio re
port of tho Superintendent of Common
Schools.
There nro within thoStale l,971school
districts; 13,980 schools ; 2,415 graded
schools; 12,900 school directors, 70 su
perintendents; 17,142 teachers, nnd 815,
753 nunils. Tho average cost of tuition
lor eacit pupit is ninety-seven cents per
month. Tho wholo cost of tuition for
tlio year is $3,500,701 20. Total cost In
eluding expenditures of ull kinds dur
ing the year, 40,980,118 92. Estimated
vultiu of school property si 1,045,032,
Notwithstanding the fact that our
rchool law was made general in tho
yenr lS18.lt lsremarkablo that there
still remain five districts within tho
Stato which havo not yet conformed
thereto. Hopes aro entertained that
four of these will soon accept the con
ditions of tho law, aud tho remaining
one, known as tho Harmony District,
under tho control of tho "JCconomltes,"
having a good school of its own, will
probably not adopt tho public bchool
system so long us tho present organiza
tion of that society exists. It is there
fore, a subject worthy of hearty con
gratulation Hint our school system has
been so universally adopted by the vol
untary consent and general acquiescence
of the people.
As important auxiliaries to our com
mon schools, Ihe Normal schools are
en titled to assume the front rank. Their
nourishing condition may be understood
from tlielollowlugslatistlcs: Thu whole
number of students that havo attended
tho lour Normal ichools is 10,237, of
whom 821 have graduated. Duiing tlio
past year there wero lu these institu
tions 70 teachers and 4,178 students.
Since my Inst annual communication, n
Statu Normal school has been fully es
tablished und recognized at Dloomsburg
Columbia county. Its buildings uro of
tho most finished and substantial char
acter, and it commences its career under
tlio most auspicious circumstances.
Another Is now in n slate of prepara
tion nt uaniorma, w usningion county,
and will probably be completed during
the current yeur.
Your attention is again invited to tlio
fact that" there aro about seventy.flvo
thousand children In the Stale that do
not attend schools of any description,'
nnd who arc permitted to grow up in
iiruoruuc-o ami without employment.
and, lu many instances, from lack of In
dustrial nnd educational training be
come not only mo votaries or vice, but
n prolific source from which the inmates
of our prisons nnd penitentiaries aro
supplied.
Tlio number oi ciunircn tiirougiioui

estimated at elghly-llvo thousand.

in his last annual report tho Superin
tendent estimated the expenses for tho
current yenr terminating Mny 31, 1870,
at $101,700. Tho sum nppropriated for
that yenr, by net of April 10, 18G9, was
$150,000. As tho Superintendent re
ports tho expenses will not mnlerhilly
vnry from his estimate, thcro will there
fore bo n deficit of $11,700 for tho cur
rent year, to bo provided for during tho
present session.
For tho maintenance of these schools
during the year ending May 31, 1871, It
is estimated Hint I53I.C00 will bo re
quired, which sum I recommend to
bo appropriated, with tho positlvo un
derstanding that the expenditures shall
not exceed that amount.
Wo nro admonished by the rapid ex
pansion of the system, and by tho con
stantly Increasing desire to obtain ad

upon by law. It is thcroforo recom

The work of tho historian, when com

Tliero I, probably, no Slalo in llio

is a homo for tho soldiers who havo

It against threatened devastation nnd

tlmo that such promises should bo re

to establish for them a homo where they
