We Iny tho unnunt mcsstijjo of Gov. i Goarjr Moro our readers, in tlic ulinpo of mi extra, not Hint wo ujiprovo all lio buyu, but nil n business trnnoitclion. The Governor rccoinmoixJa some good tiling n mi dof'tiuls somo bad ones. Among tlio former!! his udliereneo to big former mown go relating to "na tional iifltiirs," nlicroin bo so justly and ably denounced Grunt's method of carrying elections by tlio use of tlio army and tlio t'ccommcnilation of soma uniform election proclama tion throughout tho Statu. As the pructico now in, each ilivrifT gets up a proclamation of liia own, and the re milt is that no two are nlilfo. Somo cover a whole page of a nowpnpor, wliilo ollicrs only mako a column. This is lejrul humbug. Among tho latter is his defence of tho Kvans robbery, and a host of other unneces sary things too numerous to mention. The independent prccs and business men of tho Stuto oondcinn the docu ment pretty generally. Tho Philadelphia Ledger and Age allude to it in the lolloping manner : From the Philadelphia leJ.jtr Ai to th. attempted explanation of tho "l-'vani defalcation" In the mosaic, it ii juil no explana tion at all. Tlicru is a ponderous parade or fig ures, aiiil au iteration anil reiteration of wtnit Kriuis cluiins to have "collected and paid, which aro only a rcli:ujh uf the furuior giving. out from JIarrisburg on thii subject, and wtiioh were al most unanimously reject d by the public monthi etru as insufficient and unsatisfactory. "ot one uf the damaging and exoeedin)rly oeusureble circumstances connected with thi. affair are cleared op. There if no shadow of justification for the allowance to Evam of ten per erut. on $l,VI0,0UU, which ho pretends to have "collcoled," in oonnoction with the payment of Pennsylvania's share of the United Hute, direct tax. All tho tact, all the figure!, all the circumstance., hacked l'.T the unquestionable understanding of Uovcrnor I'artin, and the Hn. Henry 1). Moore, then State treasurer, witjt iMo treusury at Hushingtoo, show that sure x save been conceded to Pennsyl vania, in I 0 2, fire years before the Hyena opera tions began. If ai.yllung wai lacking, it wan nothing more thai! mere formal entrici on the book at Washingiou. And it i tho making of these formal onirics and counter entrioa of oreditl already conceded and virtually paid, as Governor t'artin announced in January, IHli.'t, that Kvant claim, aa "collections" by hitn, and un thii pre text withholds Irutn the Htate treasury giJI.tluO, for hi arduous struggles during a few week, in l lint novel sty leol"collcctine;." The whole thins; is a sheer auhterlujre. it is not only a .object for re Kret, but for deep humiliation, that the tlovernur lievotel no single word of ci-n-itrc to th:s scanda lone wrong iimu the St:ite, nor of Kvnns' course id withholding tho ISlnte moneys paid over to him before there was even this shallow pretext of earned cotmui'slons, nor of explnn-ition of the su-picious nnd unlawful suppression of inforum lion ns to his proceedings for several yrars, and, in fact, nutil expressions of public indignation compelled executive notice. The treatment of the subject in the message leaves it in a more shame ful condition than ever. There onjtht to be inde mndence and integrity enough in the Legislature to mark thia bal business with tho braut it do le: JFrora the Ay. The Governor rchea.'ses the sorvleet of .Mr. Kvans, the htate agent, and we are left to wonder why so meritorious an oflicer found it rxpnlient to (!) from publie justice, and remain hid till after the lnte election. It is not now mentioned who shared his spoils Tho pardons for the last ye.ir were sixty in num!.cr. 'the most objectionable were granted on tho solicitation of the "King" of this city, llrill ha t a string of signers for him, who no doubt thought that his "tu:iking fraudu lent returns as an election oflicer'' h I no guilt ia it, since ho cheated for their side. They also ob tained the pardons of several "receivers of stolen good ;" they give no credit to the common ruaxnn lliat the '-receiver is worse thin the thief;" butb are alike amiable, in their eyes. Klucntion, con stitutional reform and Ike tariff are mentioned bricfiy, and in general terms, and the lst Hunual Mts.a;-e is referred to aa containing the unch ingcil views of tho tiovernor upon "national nfloirs." This, therefore, may be considered as a reiteration of his manly denunciation of the interference of federal troops in election", which was tho best feature of his former message. Tho tone of these two leading jour oals is an index of all those who value their country above their party. Hut ns our readers hnvo tho document bo fore tho wA advise them to givo it a perusal, especially so far ns it relates ti tho fitioncos of tho Commonwealth. i o may, when the Auditor's settle ment and Court is over, refer to it moro at length.

Geary, and many other prominent men, havo tailed n national convention to as semble at Cincinnati on lho Slat of January, to take steps to obtain nn amendment to tlio Federal Constitu tion, rocogniitlng Johovah as tho God of the nation, Jesus Christ ns the ap pointed Head or Kuler, nnd tho Holy IJiblo ns the truo revelation of His will. Those, constitutional reformers aro tho most dnngorous lunatics outside, of an asylum, and rood watching. , They are simply agitators tho tares In the wheat and aro ns dangerous to the peace and happiness of our country ns their pestiferous progenitors, tho Abo lit ion lunatic, who drenchod our land with blood for nn idea. They at tempted to cirenmvont nnd undo tho work of tho Almighty, and torture n negro into a wliilo man through war and constitutional amendments. And to day thirty-live millions of while people, nml these, same negroes, have their unborn offspring mortgaged to the "greenback god" forcvor, wliilo the negro is a negro still, nnd his hist condition n thousand fold worso than before his hnppincss was pawned by political heretics. Tho job lho consti tutional tinkers' havo undertaken would bo completed with similar ro suits. Concede thorn tho right to amend it to suit their Ideas, it would look moro liko a document concocted in the infernal regions for tho govern nient of devils than for lho govern ment of men. Ideal reformers aro universally knaves or fools, yet not very dangerous to the Stato while their numbers aro few. But, liko children, they must bo constantly watched by thoso who prefer happi ness and plenty to war and poverty. I'rmlon SlalinUcg. The report of Commissioner of Pen sions shows tho following carefully compiled cstimato ol the number of sol diers whoscrvod by enlistment, re-en- listmcnt,aiid in the militia, during the various wars in which tho United Slates hnvo been engaged : In Kevolutionnry war 275,000 Second war with Great Britain 627, SI I Hcminole war 6,nl,1 lllack Hawk war to, 031 Florida war S'l.Hoa C'rtck disturltances I7,4.is Cherokee disturbances .Kl,llild Frontier w:ir in lb38 Caoadian rebellion 1 1,0'.!

A committee of grave Senators bavo been sitting in lho Now York Custom House tho past woclc with closed doors, but enough has leaked out to satisfy merchants and business men that tboy- have been robbed of mil lions of dollar tho past few years by Grant and his prosont-olTering frater nity. The thieves wcro not satisfied with robbing business men only, but they have fleccod the government even worso. No wonder Grant and his re lations havo all been raised from pov erty to wealthy aristocrats in a fow year. Uoucst business men and the United Slates Treasury havo paid for "tho whistle," in tbo shape of houses, lands and other valuable presents. Somebody said, many years ngo, " hon tho wicked rulo tbo land mourneth."

Assassination. Now YorV city was thrown into preat excitement, on I-r i day last, at tho assassination of Col. James Fifk, by a cowardly sneak .named Stokes, who approacbod the Colonel on the portico of tho Grand Central Hotel and fired three shots nt him, ono taking effect in lho shoulder, another in the head and tho third in tho abdomen, from which ho expired in a few hours. Col. Fisk was Vico President of tho New York and Krio Kailroatl, and the owner of Fisk's opora houso. He was one of the greatest financiers of the nge. The death of Col. Fisk will cause but little short of a panic on Wall street, i( indeed a disastrous panlo docs not follow. Some of the grcatoRl railroad interests in tho country will bo wholly convulsed, nnd tho great Krio cases .will uasttmo an entirely different front. With all of his faults, Col. Fisk had many gene, rous traits of character, nnd the an nomicemcnt of bis death will star- lie mo wnoio country, j itcro nro many thousands of prominent men whose death would havo caused far less foreboding in financial circles, bolh at homo and abroad.

That contest is one of vital moment, for tho elections of a Governor of tho State, of a Legislature that shall choose an United States Senator, of Con gressmen nnd of Vico President nnd President of tho United Stntcs all oc cur within this year, and nil of these will turn upon the graver Issues ol national politics. ' Tbo administration of General Grant has been marked by repeated viola lions ol tho cardinal principles of frco Institutions, by the uso of federal pat ronago for tho control of tho succes sion, by tho adoption of all arrow und bigoted, in tho room of nn cnliirhtoncd nnd progressive policy, by reckless disregard of tho interests of the people when they conflicted with bis own or thoso of his relatives or favorites, by peculations, defalcations nnd corrupt use of place nnd power, and hy nets evincing a determination to substitute lho rulo ol the swoM tor a coveriiment of law. The unscrupulous uso of the power und patronago of his high place onublcs him to ilictulu his own rononnnalion. and tho acts of thoso who servo him and control the policy of lho Kepuhli can organization plainly foreshadow its accomplishment. A largo majority of the pcoplo of tho United States aro opposed to tlio re-election of General Grant to tho Presidency and desire to soo a chnngo in tho policy of tho government at vt aaiungton. 'lho evidences of this fact nro found in events of recent oo- currenco nnd in tho tono of that nor- r l- iit - - . . . . iiuii hi tiio miipiiu press not controlled by federal pat ronago. The sclf respout of mony puro men in tho He pubiican organization is wounded by lho debas ing mnuenees ana lax ly ol moral sen timent that surround tho adminis tration, and many of its lending states men prefer lho teachings of tho Con stitution to tho dogmas of their party.

"Why, General Grant, of courso," wns tho reply. "He's lho deadest duck in the ring." "I'd liko to know how you muke that out V continued the Senator. "Well, then, in all your reckoning, you leave out three very important elements. In tho first place, not withstanding the reverses they have met with, tho Democrats aro still a power in tho country, and it is tho grcutost folly to look upon thorn wilh contempt, as many Republicans aro now doing. 1 hoy II be hard lo beat in more than one Stato. Again, Gcno ral Grant must not expect lo carry a singlo Southern State. Ho will bo beaten in the iNoj-lh, too, lor 1 think it is tho easiest thing in the world to show that ho cannot command the voto of Now York, Pennsylvania, Ohio or Indiana. Now, leaving out of tho account tho fact that thore are now in tho Republican party a great ninny who aro bitterly opposed lo General Grant, nnd, if ho is nomi nated, will givo him at best but a luke warm support, it cannot afford logo into lho canvass wilh any doubt in regard to tbo four great States named." Tho Prussians do not seem to havo much rospect for woman's rights ad vocates. An cnthusiustio lady who made a speech on tho subject in H-illo, was sentenced on the following morn ing, by a police judge, to two days' imprisonment on bread and water, for advocating frco lovo doctrines They should have Tilton, Woodhull & Co., to reconstruct society there.
