The tvrly passage of such a resithiti•in is
necessary, because the institution 10 Whi••11

for it without serious inconvenience. ('r,.-

appropriated for the advances thus made.
The Superintendent estimates the ex
penditures for edueit ion, maintenance,
clothing, ftvt., of 3,ltee children, during the
year tertninatihg May 31, 151'2., at ;3500,0u0.
After a careful examination, I find it eor
reet, and respectfully request an appropri
ation I . or that amount. This estimate will,
it is believed, enable the Superintendent to
admit all proper applicants. It is $20,00e
too than the appropriation for the current
year, and it is confidently anticipated that
hereafter each succeeding estimate for an
nual expenses will lie much more largely
decreased.
I have personally visited, inspected and
examined guile a number of these schools
since the adjournment of the late Legisla
ture; and 1 do not hesitate to pronounce
most of them superior, in all respects, to
any other institutions of a similar character
in the country. The supervision of the
Superintendent and the male and female
inspectors has been exceedingly faithful
and effective; and those having the schools
in charge, with but, few exceptions, have
displayed a devotion to th e ir duties, and to
the interests of the children, as unexcep
tionable as if dictated by the purest paren
tal affection.
The sanitary condition of these children
is ono of the most remarkable features of
the schools. During the five years they
have been in operation, out of 5,053 chil
dren only seventy-one have died, which
, ire but a little over one and four-tenths per
cent. of the oNire number for the whole
time, or less than three-tenths of one per
cent per annum. These facts are incontes
tible evidenves of the care and attention
that have been bestowed upon theme insti
tutions.
The establishment of these schools, and
the liberal encouragement and support
they have received, have met the approval
and admiration not only of other States of
the Union, but of the entire civilized world.
Philanthropists an 1 statesmen from forel gn
n ttions are constantly making inquiries
eoncerning the laws governing and direct
ing the operations of our soldiers' orphans'
schools, their management and the results,
and give frequent assurances of unqualified
commendation.
The foregoing exhibit is, I trust, [suffi
ciently satisfactory to prompt a continu
ance of the generous patronage already ex
tended to an institution unsurpassed by
any other of the kind in usefulness. Its
benefits extend beyond the mere shelter,
clothing, feeding and education of the sons
and daughters of our heroic dead. In gen
erations far remote its influences will stim
ulate to deeds of patriotic ardor and hero
ism. Hereafter the defenders of our coun
try will not falter when they reflect that
should they fall, they have in the Com
monwealth a parental protector of their
beloved ones; who otherwise would be left
desolate and neglected. The State has
abundant cause to rejoice in what it has
done for its soldiers' orphans, and to be
proud of these schools, which now consti
tute the brightest jewels that adorn its
crown of glory.

This institution appears to be gradually
accomplishing the objects for which it has
been liberally endowed by the State. It

not only in the ordinary branches of liter
ature and science, but in all the field ope
rations necessary fur a thorough agrieul•
total education.
The Experimental Farms, established
under the supervision of the offwers, have
thus far answered their expectations. 'rhe
experiments therein arecarefully reeorded;
every incident of cultivation, the 'nature of
the seed committed to the soil, its niece-
tion, growth, progress and results, together
with the conducing causes, being accurate- ,
ly noted. The publication of these obser-
vat ions, made indifferent parts of the State,
with various climates and soil, under the
guidance of skilled agriculturists, will im
part valuable lessons for the benefit of the
practical farmer, and, doubtless, be the
means of establishing a "Science of Agri
eulture," having its foundation in the wis
dom of experience. The report of the trim
tees furnishes a full description of the edu
cational and financial condition of the col- I
lege, together with the progress and re-
suits of the Experimental Farms during
the year just ended.

Yeu attention is invited to the aecoin

the details of the transactions of his depart
ment during the past year. The necessity
of a military power in the State, stihordi

has been so fully discussed, and so gener

on the subject entirely supertluous. It is I

About the close of the last session of the
Legislature mu act was passed and appro
ved, entitled "A supplement In the Mil
ford and Mammoths Railroad Company."
The fourth section of this enactment seems
to have been intended to take from the
State, and give to the company, the ten
thousand dollars bonus, paid into the State
Treasury annually by the New York and
Erie Railroad Company, under the fifth
section of the act of ;16th March, 18-16. Soon
after the adjournment, my attention was
directed to the subject, and to guard against
loss I caused the Attorney General to give
notice to the New York and Erie Railroad
Company that the State would look to that
corporation for the payment of the annual
bonus, as heretofore, notwithstanding the
passage of the supplement re fe rred to. I
regard the latter as having been enacted
and approved, through inadvertence, in the
hurry of a closing session, and as hasty
and inconsiderate ;legislation, at variance
with the settled policy of the State, and
highly prejudicial to the public interests ;
anti I therefore earnestly recommend its
immediate repeal, or at feast so much of it
as relates to the bonus.
TELEGRAPH LINES AND RAILROADS.
The question of the assumption of the
control of the telegraph lines and the char
tering of railroad companies within the
State by the General Government, was par
tially considered by the Legislature at its
last session, and is now receiving consider
able attention. Regarding the subject as
one of vast importance, involving the sov
ereign power of the State, the interests of
corporation that are enfranchised by it, and
of our citizens who have investments in
stocks and bonds amounting to many mil
lions of dollars, I most earnestly Invite
your serious examination of it, and your
early action thereon.
