Gentlemen qf the Renee awd antes qf sentatices and Fetiouseittzelut Permit me, through you, to tender my heartfelt thanks to the peolile of this Commonweillth for their partial ity in selecting me as their Chief Magistrate. In obedience to law I have appeared before you to pledge my fidelity to the _constitution. Its obligations and the responsibilities it imposes are, I hope, fully realized. In the administration of public af fairs it is. my earnest prayer that I may be guided - by divine wisdom, and that all my actions may reflect the people's Mypredecessor presented, in his annual message; his recommenda tions and much valuable information so fully and so well that it appears unnecessary to enter into details. My views are - in accord with the gen eral policy of the State administra tion for the past few years, although I believe, some changes might be fur the public good, and to these I shall briefly allude. Having been closely connected with . the fiLIIIICeS of .the State since 1866, I spe . aii knowingly when I bay that the revenues hey° been faithfully collected ; extrava gant appropriations have been avoid ed ; taxation has been equalized by the repeal of the most burdensome taxes ; and by strict economy and good management the public debt has been largely reduced. The poli cy of paying off the entire indebted ness of the State is, I believe, fully endorsed by the taxpayers, and it shall be my aim to adhere to that policy. The public debt, however, decreasing while the revenues are-in creasing, it occurs to me that a further reduction of the latter should be made during the current session of the Legislature. The increase in the value of our real estate, and the pro ducts of our mannfactories, the steady development of , our resources and the expansion of our railway system, are rapidly enriching our people. If we measure the aggre gate of our wealth and its`, growth upon the basis of the late census, we can readily understand how's light er tax imposed upon the present taxed property will meet all oar ne cessities an the future, provide an ample fund for the liquidation of our debt, and give a decided impulse to the useful enterpriies thus relieved. I sincerely trust; however, that in any attempt to lessen the burdens of taxation the Legislature will exer cise a wise discretion andl properly discriminate in favor of our indus trial interests. In every part of this Cothmon wealth are found rich deposits Of minerals. To make them available and productive shenld be our earnest aim, and, shall , receive a large - share of my attention. It can alone be done by the intelligent employment of labor and This is an ob ject of Immense, interest,,, and can best be subserved by first providing the hthest possible knowledge of the es-erecter and location of the most valuable minerals.. tabor can be made inviting, by making it re munerative.. Its profits - must- de pend largely upon - the measure of protection accorded .by Congress to our honie industries, a question which may safely be committed to our Representatives in the National .Legislature. Capital is the water for the wheel and should be abundant, and the rates of interest should be easy for active and , wholesome enterprise,and whatever legislation will best serve this end should receive general sup port. Money will always seek the highest rates, the security being the same, and for that reason it now gravitates to neighboring States, where the legal rates are higher than our own. If we cannot remove our restrictions and make money as free as any other community, at least, let UR permit the same rate as allowed by other States and thereby retain it within oar borders. It. will be my pleasure, as it is my duty, to have a watchinl care over the school system of our State. No part of our governmental policy should command 'the' employment of more wisdom than that which is to promote the instruction of our youth. It is a source of pride and satisfac tion that our people contribute so freely Co an objf-ct so worthy as our schoola, and the report of the Super intendent of Common Schools must convince every reader of the happy results accruing from the judicious. management of our educational sys tern. But while the doors of our schools are opened wide to every one, it is sad - to think that there are 75,000 children in the State, who do not, whether prevented by the ne cessities_of their parents, or other wise, attend and receive tho blessed privileges of-these schools. This is a matter of grave import, and exacts of us all, people and Legislature alike,- earnest and thoughtful consid eration. - In this connection, let me say a word in regard to a subject that has often engaged my ;thoughts, and to which r invoke the attention of our law makers. No part of our system of education has secured so universal commendation as that which is em braced in the circle, of instruction of those who were made orphans by the casnalities of war. The helpless con dition of these little ones touchingly appealed to the hearts of our people,' and the response was the establish ment of the orphans' schools that are now the pride of our State. But in rescuing these children from destitu tion, and providing for their educa tion until they have attained the age of sixteen years, have we filled the measure of our duty to them? Thrown out into the world to do battle with life's trials at an age pe culiarly dangerous to youth, does not common humanity require that the State should maintain its guardian ship of these children until their habits are somewhat- settled, and they have acquired the ability to earn the own livelihood ? The es-_ tab ishthent of industrial schbols, *fflbenia useful trade, may be MO* utwoLid ar ramouncti mai LIT QUAMITIOL TOWANDA, BRADFORD _COUNTY - . PA., JANUARY 30,1873. seems to promise the easiest and best solution of this problem. tMiNtlll It is highly importlint that in times of insurrection and riot there should be at command a good arid efficient force of militia to - assisithe civil power, to protect property and maintain its authority. To create such til,force it seems absolutely nec essary that the State must estentits aid in 1 more substantial Way to those who enlist in her service. The fires kir the tOn performance of mi litia dritv are obnoxious to many. of our best citizens, and yield at best but a slender revenue, and thii.t, tee, on a wrong basis, for property and not the individual should be •' taxed. The military should be well distrib uted throughout the State, and ,the number of companies limited, aid within the limit, to make them of 'dent, every company accepted, when found to be up to the proper stand and of number, drill and discipline , should receive,directly from the pub lic treasury, at least $5OO per en ema. tcstritoca. The lice and life insuranCts compa nies-are making an effort to 4ecarel uniform legislation in all the States, and the States having a large home interest in insurance, hays been the first to adept that printiple. To ire pose heavy fees and taxes upon in-• suranie, companies incorporated in other States. and doing business in this, reacts upon the home 'compa nies, by reason of the reciprocal laws of those States. If it is deemed de sirable_ to loiter' and• protect the homy insurance interest, already too loiig neglected; let uniform laws be. enacted. To me, it seems this inter est is of sufficient importance to warrant the temporary loss of a por tioq of the revenue now received from the ibreign companies. The revenues from our awn companies will increase by reason of their , en larged business, and we will thus be compensated for such temporary. • The necessity for immediate action on the.part of our people to inifire the success of the Centennial exhibi tion must be realized by every think ing man. Its ,failure will be to our lasting shame—its success must re dound to the honor and permanent benefit of the Commonwealth. Lo cated in our metropolis, which is fast moving to the front of the manufac turing cities of the world, affording an opportunity to display the pro ducts and resources of our State, and opening to foreigners, new channels of information as to 'our character and enterprises, it certainly is the imperative duty of every citizen who loves his State to lend Lis counte nance-and support to this great exhi bition. The dignity and good name of the Commonwealth are at stake. Let us not forfeit these by a lack of public spirit, or by mistaken econo my. Any proper plan' the Legisla ture may see fit to adopt to aid this National undertaking shall receive the hearty concurrence of the execu tive. The subject of constitutional °re form is now occupying a large share of public attention. Opinions are various as to its propriety or necessi ty as the views of men are conserva tive or progressive. There is now, however, in session in Philadalphia a convention of respectable and hou orable gentlemen, fresh from the people and authorized by thim to revise' the constitution. To • these gentlemeir we confidently refer these questions of constitutional reform in the belief that out of their combined integrity -and wisdom will spring such measures as will best conduce to our saiety, happiness and prosperi ty There fin one paramount and grow ing evil, to which, by my oath as your Executive, and my sense of duty as a citizen, I arnuonstrained to ask sour serious attention. I allude to special legislation or the abuse of legislative po Aer, to further particu lar local and private ends to the ex clusion ofpublic business. I cannot condemn this evil in language too strong, and it seems but the part of common sense that some positife re striction be put upon legislation that will confine it to public objects and make its enactments uniform ftnd general. There is another subject to which I may be'. pqrraitte& td advert, be cause it concerns one ot my most iii. portant functions. I refer to the pardoning power.i, The exercise of this power rests exclusively, within the discretion and conscience of the Exscative; and when we consider the importunities of the friends of a con demned man, and their natural -in clination to .use every influence, to obtain a paidon, it must be conceded that this power is a trying and dan gerous one with which to invest -any individnaL Any provision that would relieve the conscience and divide the responsibility of the, exercise of this power, must surely commend ; itself to the good sense of our people. There is a • popular demand, too,. that, the Sinking Fund, contaioing bond; that represent - the proceeds of ihe'sale of the public works, and which are applicatle alone to the payment of the public debt, shall be kept sacred to the purpose to which it was dedicated, and that the safe guards of this fund shall be made so strong as to protect it from every en croachment, however ingeniously planned or powerfully suppurtecl. To this demand the Constitutional convention will doubtless respond. and for myself, I may be permitted to say, that no legislation impairing the security of this fund, or changing its character; can. ever receive my sanction. In view of the prospect that the Legislature will, after this session, be divested of its power to legislate for special objects, a popular appre hension is prevailing that interested parties will push their schemes' at this juncture and make extraordina •ry efforts to control legislation, ' I deem it my duty to impress upon the Legislature the necessity of oiatnin in, with Erari than op** ours cTrlTEinan..

"THE BREVITY 01 LIFE.' To the ioting it- does not seem short; it seems very long. To the boy of fourteen the man of forty seems a long way off; and he of sixty removed by an age almost illimitable. But as time passes on, the aspect of life changes. The man of forty thinks forty not nearly as old as he thought it when he was fourteen ; fifty years appears to him but the prime of life; sixty, far from aged.' When at length, increasing years adnionisli him that his life-work is ended, and that he can enter no new undertakings, and when he looks back to reflect upon what he has accomplished, he won ders to see it No little,, and is amazed to find the road se short in traveling which appeared so long in prospect. He then understands, as be never did before; the meaning of the Scrip ture simile. "Yes," he says to him self, "it is indeed true, Life is as a tale that is told, and as a dream when one awaketh." 'A moment's careful reflection will suffice hoWever, to convince tLe thoughtful that the old man's estimate is right, and the young man's wrong. The time is short, very short, 'in which to achieve anything for God,, for humanity, or for ourselves. The average length of human life is stated' to be thirty three years. This average, however, includes an estimate of alt those who die in infancy. The statement of the average life pf a healthy man may be - enlarged somewhat. But it is per lectly safe to say that it is not over fifty;years. Some' live on to three- Score yeari or : even to ' three-score - and ten, but more never reach the half century. Of this fifty years, the first twenty are taken in learning how"to live. Something the young can -accomplish ; ,but youth' is the time for receiving, not imparting— for preparing to achieve, not for achievement. Thirty years may be fairly accepted as the average limit of the working life. But no man works the full twenty-four hours. Rest, recreation, food, sleep, Sabbath and the enforced idlenesit which oc casional illness compels, 'reduce the period two-thirds. Eight hours a day are as many as the brainor mus cle can ordinarily Stand. Some work more, but few to the best advantage. Year in and year out, eight hours may be taken to represent i the work ing dap The working life,__then, is not thirty years, it is but ten. And of these ten years, bow muela is neces sarily absorbed by the drudgery - of toil, by the gathering of grain that _dies in the harvesting; and, is never *entered into store honses? Hovi mush in getting clothing to be put on and worn out, in getting food to be consumed in use, in building houseslo crumble-and fall into decay almost as soon as their:. owners ? How much too, of this time is lost in plans that come to naughtlii sowing that never ripens, in fighting battles that are defeats ? When we have ta ken from our life What timis neces sary for preparation, what s requir / ed for rest and recreation, ,and what is absorbed in failure and in transient success, the fragment that is left is very small—, , two; three or, five years at the most. • AGRICVLTITRAL BERWL—The report of the Agriculthral &rear', just pub lished shows that the corn crop of this year is an unusual large one.

The Image represents: a Bengal tiger of full natural size, seiz ing with claws and teeth upon the prostrate body of a mail beneath: By the turning of a crank at the ani mal's side, operating by means . 'of wires upon ingeniously arranged bel lows and tubes witbin, sounds as of human distress are emitted from the month of the prostrate victim ; his hand rising at times ea if in defense or supplication; while now and then a fierce, harsh growl is heard from Ms destroyer. Whether or not the supposition be correct that this con trivance was calculated for •• the amusement a - the chieftain's leisure 1 moments, in the imaginary sufferings I of an English foe, it certainly could have afforded delight onlyio a mind whose chief attribute was ferocity. The extensive collection of images, of various size and form, in bronze, brass and marble, representing the deities of Hindu() idolatry, afford an interesting study to one with a taste for mythological research: Brahma, Vishnu and Siva, representing each the creative, the preserving and the destroying principle, seemfor th the basis of the Hindoo p :- ntheon i 3,13 Under other names and - in l various other forms, grotesque but emblem atic, which are :here 'presented to view, these deities are worshipped; according to their repeated manifes tations or incarnations, (called A tti taras); especially.in this way , to the two latter deities are a great number . of Hindoo gods reducible as their offspring or personification.
