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.

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 n law bo pasml making It tho duty of thu t.ommiHsiom rsoi tno Kimting j-umi in Invest all cumins funds as uinldlv ns they accrue In tho Treasury, lu thu pure-huso ot me bonus oi mo uommou wealth next falling due. 1 beg,oiico more,to lemlnd tho Legls lure that tlio salary of tlio Stato Treai urer should at least bo equal to that of thouovcrnor. ii isoniy seventeen Hun dred dollars, n sum entirely Insufficient to command tho servlcesof any respon sible man, who Is required to furnish a bond with goon unu approved securiti-?s, for clL'btv thousand dollars, and to run tint risk of luindlinu tit least lives or six million or dollars iter annum, without the unlawful usoor tho Stato hinds, and subsidies from suurees that daro not bo revealed to thu public, because tlioy are uoslllvelv prohibited by law.undcr nen- allies of no oidinary magnitude.

Then, In thu nuino of the good pcoplo of Pennsylvania, 1 call upon tho member. nf tho Legislature, without distinction of party, to rise abovo tho murkhicM of tho polluted atmosphere of thu past, to tho true dignity of man hood uuil exulted patriotism, and purify thuelectlou of Treasurer, ns well as Unit of every other officer within tuts com muuwealtli. und punish every ono who tampers with the purity of elections, whatover may bolifspoaltlonor preten 1870. sions. And then overy ono who shall havo performed his wholo duty to sus tain ino iruo interests oi me Htato nnd to maintain tho high dignity of her character, may return unpolluted and wiin a cicur conscience to ins consiliu ms, who will receive hi in with ooen arms, and with tho Joyful exclamation of "well done good und faithful ser vant." Liberal iiniiroiirlnliops nro made nn. iiually to our penitentiaries, lunatic asylums, nnd other charitable nnd bono- iitiai institutions, without requiring from thoso who receive nnd disburse tlio money nny satisfactory ovldcnco 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 ineir accouuis, on proper voucners, in llio Auditor General's office. This Is right; nud there is no good reason why the same accountability should not bo enforced against all thoso who rccelvo annually site.li largo sums of money irom tnu uotinty oi uiu uommonwcaiui. l. uiereiore. recommend mat a law ho passed requiring all persons who receive and disburso Ktatu appropriations, to tako proper vouchers lor nil moneys bo expended by them, nnd to make quar. tcriy sciucmcms oi too samo in tho Auditor General's office. Tins is 1m nortant. not only to protect tho Interests of thu State, but also the good naino of tiioso who receivo and disburso tho money, nnd of tlio members of the Leo Islaturu through whose inllucnco tho appropriations nro represented to bo procurcci. xur many years ino general appropriation bills have been signed on tho day ol tho adjournment of tho Leg islature, and I hero repeat iliy sugges tions of last year on this sublect. ''Tho Governor has been forced either to sign ino urns wiiiumi proper iiivesiigauon, notwithstanding any objections he may imve; suspend uiu means to ueiray llio operations of tho government for tho ensuing year; or call an extra session of the Legislature. It Is ihereioro earn estly desired that tho appropriation bill be taken up, dbcusi-ed und passed at n sufficiently early period during tlio ses sion lo etianio tno uovernor to give It that thorough examination Its lui ort anco demands." 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.

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 mission into tlieso schools, that some dciinito limit should be determined upon by law. It is thcroforo recom mended that tho indigent children of i-eunsyivaiiin soitners, wno served in Pennsylvania rctriments. and who died prior to January i, ikcb, rrom wounds received or dlsenso contracted in tho service of tho United Slntcs during tho into war, snan no iicreniier tuiminrxi. and none others.

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. Tho establishment of this coileoo was undoubtedly Intended ns a progressive movement, and under tho impression that it would contribute much to tho easy acquisition of a combined knowl edge ot agriculture, science and litera ture, and to promoto tho practical cdu. -anon oi ino industrial classes in llio everul nuisulls of life. It has been fostered by the most liberal lecislatlon nnd is enelowcel with the stun of $381, 500, Invested In United Slates and Penn sylvania bonds, yielding nn nggrcgnle interest this year of $25,051 90, which has been paid to tlio trustees of tho In stitution. Thus far tlio most satisfac tory results from tho worklnes of tho college havo not been realized. Rut it is now under the direction of n presi dent nnd six learned professors.

Three exnei inicnttd farms nro con ucctcd with tho college, purchased ut nn aggregate cost of $ 13,880 50. Ono is located at tho colli l'c. one In Indiana county nnd ono in Chester county.

The i emit of tho Stato Historian is deserving of your caieful attention. In it you will unu aucianiuaicuuiii,tii uiu operations oi ins uepartmi iii irom un commencement to thu picse-nt lime. The oik enttubtcd to hiseure is one or no culinary character und nsi onsibill ty, ltqulring tnltiils of n high older, path nt Indusliy, caieful reseaich, and unbiased Judgment. Tho labor to be performed is immense, nnd ran only bo pioperlv appreciated by those fully ac quainted with its magnitude. It em braces n faithful account of all tho or ganizations of Pennsylvania troopselur ing tho wnr of tho rebellion; the collec tion nnd ndiuslraent. In a comprehen sive form of cachmililary organization, nnd nn unprejudiced description of nil milltnry transactions oi importance, bu fur ns tho voluntcors of this Slnte nro concerned, in the camp nnd in the field, throughout the most terrific conflict of arms that has over occurred in tho his tory of tho world. Tho propriety or such n work must bo apparent to every intelligent citizen or meuommonwc-aiin Certainly it Is duo to tho citizen soldiers who offered their lives in defence) of their country, that their names should nt least, receive a place In tho nrehlve of the State, toward whoso honor und glory their gnllnntilceds have so lnrgely contributed. The work of tho historian, when com pleted, will embrnco four large octavo volumes, In which tho name of every Pennsylvania volunteer will havo its appropriate place. Two of these vol umes are already completed, In a man ner highly creditable to the Common wealth. The third is rapidly progress ing, nnd with a generous appropriation on (he part of your honorauto body the cntlro history will bo executed, if not before, soon after tlio close of (lie pres ent year. Most other Slates are pub lishing histories similar to this, and It is duo to tlieimpoitanco of (lie subject nnd to tho credit of tho Stale, that Pennsylvania should not be behind In this patriotic umlcrtr king. home rem dihahled hildierm. Tliero I, probably, no Slalo in llio American Union that hns contributed moro liberally toward the support of charitable and benevolent institutions than thai of Pennsylvania. The im propriations annually made fur (hu ben efit of llio soldiers' orphans' s-chools, asylums for the iliaf and dumb, blind and Insane, and many similar worthy establishments In which tho poor, help less, anil omerwise lrieniucss uro cureu and provided for reflect great credit upon tho Legislatures who havodonatcel the requisite menns for their support. Rut thcro Is one other Institution need ed, and tho claims for which aro moro strongly urged by overy principle of humanity nnd patriotism than any other now in existence, which has not yet received tlio attention its vast Im portance imperatively demands. This is a homo for tho soldiers who havo "boino tho battlo" lu defence of tho honor, integrity, and perpetuity of (ho American Union. No men living havo as powerful claims upon tho generosity and nurturing caro of thu Common wealth of Pennsylvania as those who, upon the baltlo-Ueld, fought to protect It against threatened devastation nnd destruction, nnd who, in tills patriotic servlco, endangered their lives, sacri ficed their health, lost their limbs, nnd became enfeebled and disabled for life. Aud yet, wo dally see theso men, (aud who does not blush to sco themVl to whom wo owo tho preservation of our Government, tho homes; wo enjoy, almost overy thing wo possess, hobbling about our ptroets upon crutches, with missing limbs, and otherwise so enfee bled ns to lio entirely untitled for nny remunerative employment, begging their bread from door to door, or sitting upon mo corners oi mo streets tinning an organ for tho few pennies tho char itable passers-by mny leei disposed to bestow. Every ono of thoso helpless men, whoso patriotic devotion to his country has brought him to tills denlor- nblo condition, Is a burning reproach to tno Htato ior wnoso weiiaro no lias met tho most serious and lamentable of nil misfortunes. All of tlicm appeal, by their wounds nud destitution, to tho people or tho commonwenitii ror mat euro which, In such contingencies, was promised mo soldier oi mo union, ma widow, nnd his orphans children, it Is tlmo that such promises should bo re deemed. Tho wounded nnd helpless soldiers hnvo a claim upon tho State w men snouni not nnu cannot ooignoreu. iVnd I do earnestly recommend in their name, and in their behalf, that mea sures bo taken by your honorable body to establish for them a homo where they shall bo amply provided with tho neccssnry comforts of life, and no longer l-o compelled to bo pensioners upon tho scanty chnrltlcs of tho world, This Isn debt tho Stato absolutely owes, nnu no tlmo should bo lost In Its honorable liquidation.
