The Governor's Message.
Governor Ilartianft's fourth armnnl mes
snge was submitted to both houses jester
d;iy doming. Tlie message is a docu
ment of considerable length, and in mere
point of literary merit it excels any of tlio
former ones that have emanated from the
panic source. But what t lie message gains
in smoothness and grace of style it loses
in force, precision and official sincerity.
While tiie governor balances his nicely
rounded sentences the representatives of
the people vi!l sometimes be at a loss con
cerning bis teal purpose. lie seems to be
J'ius IX. and the Centennial.
Tbe following letters have been received
from ilis Eminence Cardinal Antouelli in
response to a request of tbe Centennial
Commission that His Holiness, Pius IX.,
would give bis recognition to tbe L.xpo.si-

I give a new proof of his special regard for a
J government and people that have won the

i n Hue season
The rumored stepping down nnd
out of Hon. M. C. Kerr from the
ing sources of taxation during the vear
there is reason to believe that there will be
. no diminution in tlio funds unless it bo
made by removing a portion of I he taxes.
Since theappropi iations cannot be reduced
to any considerable extent, and since new
taxes are out of the question in this period
of business deprcs-ion, the governor
iccornmcnds that a portion of the money
in the sinking fund be diverted to the or-
diiay needs of the state government. He '
"NKgesis mat one-iinro ot; the revenue
from tlio tax on corpor.it ion stocks be as
signed to the general fund. The revenue
from the corporation tax in 1373 amounted
to $ l;i"i,57, which would give neatly
Ihiee-quaifeis of a million to the general
fund, and this revenue is more likely to
increase than diminish. According to the
estimate of Oiiv. Hartranft the withdrawal
of this amount from the sinking fund
would relieve the embarrassed condition of
the treasury and at the same time leave
enough money to liquidate the whole
state debt in iiftecn years. Another im
portant recommendation of the governor
in connection with this subject 7s that a
law be enacted authorizing the sinking
fund commissioners to invest the unex
pended balance in the treasury in the
bonds of the state or of the United States.
In his recommendation concerning the
public schools of the state the governor
reiterates the opinions of bis former mes
sages. Thcro is in all that ho says on this
suojecr not one wont of tbe vicious and

from devoting himself likewise with constant
energy to the encouragement of t he fine arts,
and to the development of those intrinsic
resources that constitute the glorv and the
material prosperity of a nation. This is at
tested by the monuments erected during his
glorious reign, in this city ,.f Koine ad M1
other cities subject to Ids paternal govern
ment, and by th many industrial institutions
hat he has called in'o existence or greaily
improved during that. time. Nor is this de

It was hours before the two courageous

is a
learned and elaborate dissertation on the
subject of municipal government. Though
excellent in its way it seems some what out
of placo in an executive message, unless
tho governor was especially desirom .if im
pressing on tho legislature the fact that
"rings" have existed in municipal govern
ment since the first public c rporation jobs
were started in the ancient cities of Tyre
and Sidon. IJeginuing with the cities of
rineincia tho governor traces the history
of municipal corruption down through the
commercial towns of the middle ages until
tbe defeat of Ilenszey in Philadelphia
seems to have afforded the material for the
last touches of the executive pen. This
historical resume is merely preliminary to
the recommendation that ti e legislature
authorize the appointment of a commission
of experienced pe: sons to examine into the
condition of our cities and towns and pre
pare such legislation as will meet the
abuses in the municipal government. Such
an investigation into the management of
the municipal affairs .if the cities of the
state would nnd inbtedly rip up a fearful
amount of official depravity. Unless the
legislature bo utteily insensible to the elo
quence
munici
tbe commission will be authorized without.
delay. As an additional inducement for
raising this commission the governor gives
it as bis candid opinion that all the legis
lation upon the statute book referring to
municipalities should bo repealed.

of space prevents a further review of the
topics considered in the message. The
treatment of tbe insane of the state and
the necessity for more hospitals are hu
manely discussed. In regard to tho Cen
tennial the governor recommends that fi

is to be a grand military display, he urg
es that provision b.5 made for the trans

oars, by their aid he was successful. Tn
the meantime young Trnmloy had thrown
himself, chilled and exhausted, on the
bottom of the loat, and the rest were near
ly senseless with cold. Helpless, they
drifted with the wind and current. Gross
soon summoned assistance, and they were
found two miles In-low. The next thing
was to reach them. Gross, with bis as

sufferers tied to themselves, and were

Hev. Henry Boehm, supposed to bo tho
oldest clergyman in the world, died on
Tuesday, Dec. 28th, near Staten Island.
He was born in Conestoga (now Peqnea)
township, Lancasterconnty, Pennsylvania,
June 8, 1771. Ilis grandfather and father
wero both clergymen, tho latter a Men-
have been received. A wealthy Persian
owed a large sum of money to the Ititbbi
Chajun, who asked the Persian to repay
him one nay when they chanced to meet iu
a bazaar. A quarrel ensued, and the
crowd which had collected asked the Per
sian what the cause of tho trouble was.
He determined to get rid of his creditor,
and, turning to tho crowd, said, "If this
man had merely insulted me I should haTe
kept silent, but be has abused our religion
and blasphemed the prophets. I cannot,
therefore, be silent." The crowd fell upon
the Habbi and threatened to kill him. He
took re f uce in the neighboring bouse of a
rich Persian, to whom he appealed for pro
tection. The latter concealed the Jew in
an inner room and barred the doors of the
house. The ciowd demanded a surrender.
Tbe noble Persian refused, and the doors
were broken down. Tbe lawless rabble
poured in, found tho fugitive, dragged him
into tho street and stoned him to death.
The dead body was dragged about tho
town with jeers and finally brought into
tbe maikct place, where tbe mouth was
filled with powdei and the head was blown
to pieces. A fire was then kindled and
the corpse was burned up. Four Jews,
who had fallen into the mob, were ill
treated and severely wounded. Tho dwell
ings of tne Israelites were plundered, and
rested and sent to prison to serve out the
term of bis sentence.
