The foregoing statement of the finances is set forth with pieasure,in consequence of their flourishing condition. In addition thereto, the balance in favor of the General Government Pennsylvania's quota of the direct tax levied in the several States for war purposes and for cash from the United States, amounting, in all, to nearly two miffionsof dol. tars,-has been settled in full by the allowance of claims for_ extraordinary expenses incurred by the State during the war. In consequence of the lapse of time since the. remaining claims were contracted, the melt of sufficient vouch' rs and explanations, and the difficulty of finding the parties, some of them being dead, by whom they should be made, ren der their settlement difficult, and in many in stances doubtful, the accomplishment of which will, however, bo vigorously pursued and the re sults laid before the Ltgislature. Passing from thiti general review of the finances of the State, I cannot permit some of the most prominent ideas connected with them to pass un noticed, because they clearly indicate the path of duty in the orschurge of the Executive trust. ' It is deemed prop(r to call your attention to the fact that during the entire year a very large sum of money is in the bet ping of the State Treasurer. This sum has not at any time for years been less thin a million of dollars, and at preSent amounts to considerably over four millions of dollars. That it is unnecessary that the greater portion of tidy money should be kept in the Treasury to meet the ordinary demands upon it is obvious; and that it should be withdrawn from circula tion is certainly a detriment to the business of the community'. A contraction to the amount of several Millions, as at present, cannot fail to make its impreseem upon those engaged in mer cantile, manufacturing, agricultural, mining and all other kinds of employments. This money, I am Wormed .upon good authority,can be loaned, with ample at eerily for its re-payment when needed, for certain specified periods. at a rea sonable rate of interest, and the proceeds placed in the Tr( usury for the benefit of the State, which would not only be beneficial to the tax payers, by increasing the public revenue, but also enlarge the accommodations tor business pur poses. If this elan were adopted, the with drawal of the circulating medium, by the pay int-ni of taxes, wow(' be so brief that it would not Materially affect the public welfare. The fund thus acquired could be added to the sinking fund, and would materially aid in the reduction of the State dt.bt, A glance at the condition of thir Treasay will show that at least four millions of dollars might now he loaned, and at four per cent. would' realize the handsome sum of $160,000 per an num. Or nearly the whole amount of the bal ance now in the Treasury might he rendered Soductiv e by being invested hi the bonds of the tate, bearing six per cent. interest. even though purchased at a premium. Or, it might be in vested in United. States interest bonds, which would be available at any moment a necessity might arise for the use of the funds. If that amount Were exchanged at par for United States ten-forty bonds, bearing five per cent. interest in told, the product would be at the rate of t 200,000 per annum, in gold, or, at the present value of gold, '206,000 in currency. Besides, the finds would tot become "depreciated and unavailable" by lorg continuance in the Trea sury. A law for this purpose could be passed, apt cifying the method by which the unneeded money of the Treasnry may be loaned, anthos; rizing and empowering the State Treasurer, and each others as you may designate, to execute, or curry out, its provisions. Your attention is also invited to the fact that the salary of the State Treasurer, now only seven teen hundred dollars, is entirely disproporfioncd to the duties and responsibilities of that officer; and that the amount Of the bond, eighty thousand dollars, given by him to the State, is ,equivalent to no security at all, under the present system of placing, unconditionally, the entire nimbi of the State In his hands. - The only security,is the incorruptible honesty and integrity of the Trea surer. Suppose that when there is in his keep ing millions of dollars the incumbent of that {ace shOuld be tempted to become a defaulter! Bow tasily could he st cure to his bondsmen the amount for which they would legally be liable to the Slate and appropriate the balance to him ir! For years, it seems to me, the Treasury of the. State has stood, as it were, upon a volcano. Examples all around iterintqw the fallibility of man. arra how frequently and easily he is swerved trent the path of rectitude and honor. Even many sol its it to the most elevated positions and en joying the highs-t. confidence of the public, arc ottt a found to yield to the temptations that sur round the na 'rho desire for the rapid :iceman lc non of wealth; the thousanes of schemes pre sented to excite the enpiehy of human nature, aid the bens t-S of public murals, engendered by !he escape of Um guilty from punishment, have so demoralized ptiblic sentiment that It way be considered a wonder—almost a miracle— that P. ems) ivania hits so long escaped from the calamity that might at any time have happened, or that may hereafter happen, by the roWiery of her Treasury, anti render the suspension of the peynd lit of the interest upon the state debt, for u tinge, inevitable. holm performance of my duty, I have fore warned the Legislature of a danger as respects her Minuets, rut no common magnitude. It re mains for it to determine whether this danger shall be averted by prompt and efficient legisla tion and the Treasury guarded against the occur rence of so great a calamity. 23,000,000 00 41,012 00 30,205;395 3.1 25,543,558 88 4,661,836 46 2,937,978 55 1,723,857 91 34,766.431 22 855,6 A) 91 'ATION. The report of the Stiperintendent of the Com mon Schools exhibits a full view of our excel lenhs:t sum or public instruction, which is widely diffusing its blessings by securing a sound and substantial education to all the children of the State. A brief summary will give an idea of the immense proportions it had attained and the vast amount of of which it is capable, At the close of the year the number of school, districts in ihe state was 1.889; the number of schools, 13,4h5; graded schools, 2,117; school di rectors, 11,b34; county, city and borough super hitt iidents, 68; teachers, 16.523; pupils, 789,889; the cost ot tuition; *3,028,066 70; building,sl ,262,- 7:18 68; contingencies / $7011.675 33; tuition, build ing and contingencies, $5,081.539 71; and the ana , tnit expended for all purposes relating to bact)ifi, $5,1611,750 17. - .

The last annual report of the Superintendent of the Soldiers' Orphans' Schools was made up to include the 60th of November, 1866. The appro priation for that year, extending from January Ist, 1866, to January Ist, 1867, • was insufficient to cover the expenses of the whole year, and consequently those of De cember, 1866, wct e unpaid. The next ap prop da tion, under the present law, extends from Janu ary 1, 1867, to June 1, 1868. It was, therefore,determined that, there was no legal authority to apply any part of it to the paymen tof expenses prior to January, 186;; hence those incurred In December, 1866, ante tinting to $31,019 77, remain unpaid. Hon. Thomas H. Burrowes, who was appointed Superintendent by my predecessor, continued in (Abbe until May 1, 1867. when, under the act of April 9, 1867, I appointed Colonel George F. INlTarland, Superintendent; Rev. C. Cornforth, Inspector and Examiner, and Mrs. E. W. nutter, Assistant, who at once entered upon the discharge of their duties by visiting and reorganizing the schools, correcting abuses which had crept into the local management of some of them, and in settling arrearagesy which was done with zeal. fidelity and commendable promptitude. The present Superintendent reports the ex penditures for the eleven months ending Novem ber 60, 1867, as follows: Education and maintenance r;, , ;;11,889 85 Partial relief 210 00 Clothing furnished 1,9 8 children, in ndvanced schools :Making and repairing clothing, frieght, &e N,350 1 General expenses 6,751 tie Total amount, from January 1, to The expenses for the six months, from Decem ber 1, 1867, to Juno 1, 1868, are estimated by the Superintendent, as follows: Education and maintenance of 1,850 children, in adVaneed schools, at $1•i0 per annum Educe bun and maintenance for 500 children in primary Schools, at $125 per annum Education and maintenance of 1,050 children in "Homes," at $,105 per canon, Clothing 1,850 children, at $25 per aunt; 11l navkletrin g pupils, salaries, Estimnte for six months, ending Total actual and estimated expenses for A:vet:teen months, from Jauu- \ : my 1, 1867, to inue 1, lm(N ..$1;37,:19;) 1)2 Or, at the rate of C 410,02.7) 80 per au mau.

Add the amount •due for December 186 f; And it exhibits the total deficit from Debember 1. 1866, to June 1, 186 e, to be provided for by tipecial appropriation 172.(111 .16 I do not deem it inappropriate here to state that if the bill which passed the House at the session had become a law, making an appro priation of $450,000 per annum for-the orphans' schools, it would have been sufficient to have paid the total expenses. . The estimates for the year ending June Ist. 186:). will be found fully set forth In the report of the Superintendent. From that report it will also 1 e Seen that there are in operation thirty ine orphan schools and homes,having in charge n nv' rage of two thousand nine hundred and thirty-one pupils, for the year ending November 30, 1867, at an average cost of one hundred and fort}-eight dollars and forty-three cents per annum. These schools have doubtless reached their maximum numbers. Sixteen years being the age at winch the orphans cease to be, chargeable to the State, and they will henceforward decrease in the lolloi%ing ratio, NiZ.: 374 will reach that age lo 1866, 329 in 1869, 348 hi 1870, 103 in 1871, 479 in 1872, 460 in 1873, 413 in 1871, and 314 in 1875, there probably will not be more than 360 remaining in the schools. Should the term b.. 1 educed , to.lllteen years, as has been proposed by some, fully one-fifth of the munber now in the schools ea Quid cuter upon trades or business wifhin the past year. ..No calculation can furnish an estimate of the benefits and blessings that are constantly flowing from these institutions. Thousands of orphan Children are enjoying their parental care, moral culture and cducution4l training, who otherwise wf,uld have Buffet ed'poverty and want, and been left to grow up in idleness and neglect. Many a widow's heart has been gladdened by the protection, comfort and religious solicitude ex tided to her fatherless offspring, and thou sands are the prayers devoutly uttered for those who have not been unmindful of them ht the time of their affliction. In makityr n the gene rous disposition it has done for these destitute and helpless orpbans,the Legislature deserves and re ceives the heartiest thanks of every good citizen, all of whom will cordially approve a continuance of that beneficence. In shielding, protecting and educating the children of our dead soldiers the Legislature is nobly performing its duty. Those children era not the mere objects of our charity, or pensioners upon our bounty, but the wards of the Commonwealth, and have just claims, earned by the blood of their fathers,upon its support and guardianship, which can only be withheld at the sacrifice of philanthropy, honor, patriotism, State pride, and every principle of humanity. .IGRICUI.I UItAL cOLLI;GE. The act of Congress of July 2, 1862, gr4rted land scrip to the several States, to be apprepri :tied to the maintenance of colleges, whose leading object it shall be to give instruc tion in the sciences which minister tol ag riculttire and the mechanic arts. By the re oof apportionment, adopted by Congress, 70 ,000 acres fell to the share of this Comnaonwe lib: The act of Assembly el February 19, 1867, ap peomiated the benefit of the whole of that g an t to the Agricultural College of Peunsylv Wm w bleb has thereby become subject to the Si per vision and guardianship of the S tate. I then 'ore invite your attention to the organization and condition of that institution, as exhibited by the president of the board of trusttA in his report for the year 1867, which will be Uid be fore you. The 'commissioners appointed\tu the Legislature to sell the laud scrip 4avo completed the sales, which muount to $.1;;;,,18 t ; so.

It hasU . :deed many thousands of our young men in the seicuce of arms and infttsedamongAlrem a spirit of arlil tary ardor which may safely be. 'relied on la COY future emergency; anti paved the way for the establishment .of military organizations that will prove a safeguard and honor to the State. The Legislature. availing itself of these Leis, should adopt a liberal and effective system for increasing and, regulating the volunteer militia. The law of 1861, though excellent in many re spects,does not meet the requirements of the times, and alterations and amendments are needed be fore it can accomplish all the, contemplated and desired objects. The minimum of men necessary to form a company is entirely too high, and in many places where smaller. companies would be formed, it is impossible to raise them lb accord ance with the ratio established by the act. From the report of the Adjutant-General, it will be seen that there are now but thirty-eight uni formed companies in the State, comprising only about three thousand men, whilst the suggested amendments, which should be made as early as possible, would increase these organizations. to any desirable extent, and had to renew and keep alive in our soldiers the proud memories of the service and to preserve the military ardor born of our recent struggles for national existence. The necessity for a new arsenal, allording place of sate deposit for ordnance, ordnance stores and a magazine, is so obvious as to require nothing more on my part than to call your atten tion to the subject, and to ask that authority be given and an appropriation made for the purchase of a site, and for the erection of suitable buildings for the purpose indicated. Agreeably to the requirements of the act of Assembly, entitled "An Act to authorize the (lovernor to transfer to the Reynolds Monument Committee unserviceable and condemned ord ham e," approved March 7, 1807, I caused the (min:lnce in the arsenal to be inspected : and turned over to the Committee for the purpose in dicated five condethned six-pounder brasseatmon, weighing in the aggregate three thousand set en hundred and forty-eight pounds. ' , 7,1157 ',., In Thd•t the Legislature made an appropriation for the purpose of having prepared and published a complete history of the military operations of the State in reference to the late war. My pre decessor appointed Samuel P. Bates Esq., for the purpose of consummating the provisions of that act, who proceeded to collect the ,necessary materials and to prosecute the work. Although the country has again been restored to peace, the people continue to feel a deep in terest In all that relates to the struggle which so recently convulsed the nation. In the prosecu tion of the war Pennsylvania, always among the first to answer the country's call, gave additional evidences of her devotion to liberty and to the natidn's glory. Over three hundred and sixty thouiand of her sons stood in the ranks of the Union array. Many hare fallen, and nearly thirty thousand, by wounds and dis ease received in the Held, repose in death. To commemorate their heroism, and preserve their names and perpetuate the record of their deeds are among the objects of the work in progress. In its pages will be found an account of each and every military organization of the State: the officers and men of whom they were composed. the name of every individual, with his place of residence, time of muster, date of discharge, and the special acts by which be was distinguished, as well as of the dead as those whO have survived. TRANSPI MTATION DEPA RTMENT. MEM $1211,500 10 ...1, - .CM 00 ol 12.100 00 ' , ,97.5 00 21'2,075 00 The Department of Transportation, created during the war, has accomplished its purpose. and ceased to exist by the determination of the Legislature, expressed in the 'appropria tion bill, approved April 11th, 1867. The report 01 the Superintendent shows that for the year ending November a), 1867, the whole num ber of claims settled and paid was eight hundred and eighty-two: These were for the disinter ment of the bodies 01' deceased Pennsylvania sol diers on distant battle-fields and transportation to the homes of their relatives, and the total ex penditures were thirty-two thousand five hun dred atd thirty-nine dollars and forty cents. There remain unsettled one hundred and twenty three claims, amounting tecabout four thousand dollars, for the payment of which and some un settled transportation, an appropriation of four thousand five hundred dollars will be required. All the papers and business of the Department have been transferred to the office of the Adjutant General. 31,019 77 During the war a State Agency, for the ex amination, adjustment and collection. free of ex pense, of Military claims, was established' at Washington, for the maintenance of which the Legislative, with commendable liberality, has annually made the necessary appropriations. In January last, Col. John H. Stewart. of Al legheny county, was appointed Agent, std Lieu tenant-Colonel Wm. A. Cook, Assistant. After a faithful and efficient performance of its duties until 31st of October, Col. Stewart resigned in consequtnce of domestic afflictions, when Col. Cook was promoted to tiff the position, and Lieu tenant-Col. J. Copelan appointed Assistant. During the year enuing Dec& nffler.") 1807, one thousand seven hundred and eighteen claims have been settled, and three 'hundred and twenty-one Treasury certificates collected, amounting to e'2 1 13,669 43. Two thousand one hundred and twenty-nine new cases remain unsettled, the most of which will probably be settled by the 30th of June next, at which period the appropriation terminates. When this is exhausted, the liepartment will have doubtless fulfilled its mission, and tin doc uments and papers can be transferred to the Adjutant General's office. The reports of the commissioners appointed under the act of March 12, Istf7, to investigate, the transactions relating to certain cemeteries are herewith presented. The work at the Gettysburg cemetery is pro gressing, but with less expedition than was eon templatej, in consequence of the difficulty Of procuring such blocks of marble as were re quired for statuary. • The appropriation of three thousand dollars to the cemetery at Antietam has been withheld, as It appears from the act of incorporation by the Legislature of Maryland and the resolutions of the hoard of trustees, that the rebel dead are to he Interred within the enclosure and to be hon ored with the same memorial's as the Union sol diers who are there buried. The custom has ever prevailed to specially honor those in death who won special honor by meritorious lives. The monuments reared to the memory of departed worth bear ample testi mony that our people have not been unmindful of this custom. But where were such memorials ever erected for men whose actions were infa- Mous, and who perished . In an ignoble cause: Who would glorify the treason of Benedict Ar nold with suck monuments as have arisen to the memory of Washington? Who would dare to Insult the loyal heart of this nation by proposing to lay, side by side, in the same sepulchre, the body of the assassin Booth and that of Abraham Lincoln ? No loyal man would take the heart less Wirx and the other demons that presided over the prison dens of cruelty, starvation and death, and the executed conspirators against the nation's illustrious chief, and deposit them in the same tomb with the patriotic men who sacri ficed their lives in' battling for "the right against the wrong." Yet it LS proposed that the loyal States construct cemeteries for• their heroic dead, and then_ desecrate th em by the burial therein of those who prosecuted against the country a warfare which for its dia bolical ferocity is without a parallel in the his tory of eivilization,and even to erect monuments to their memory! Carry out this purpose, and what inducement can be hereafter ()tiered to the lify al citizen to fight against treason, when he feels assured that should he fall in battle the traitor's grave will, be honored equally with his own ? • The (4111E0 of the Union was a holy one, whit oppus it must have been its eon verse. To one side alone the glory belongs. This was not a war of nations but of treaima againSt loyalty. It was a etinttst of rebels who would have drained the lire's blood of the gov ernment which bad nurtured and protected them, against its patriotic sons who fought to save 11 . from destraction'. It was a war carried on by the defenders and promoters of oppression against the friends and loVers of liberty and their country's integrity. While there Is. no reasonable objection to giving decent sepulture even to the rebel dead, those who consider them deserving of honorable testimonials may bestow them. Itis our duty to render honor only to whoni we 'believe honor is due. AION umnyr oremisHo SOLDIERS Or Tin; ILEX ICAN WAR.

Your patriotism will dottlitles give a favora ble response to this request. and the enlightened people of the Commonwealth. rising above Bel fish and partisan feelings, will sanction such ex penditure for the erection of this honorable memo Tito, A State that has been prodig - d of her millions in the employment of her physical re sources and in the performance of every .noble and disinterested set which philanthropy could suguest, cannot forget her gallant sons whose suflmings and sacrifices for their country have never been fully appreciated, and whose remains repose among strangers, in a foreign land, with out a stone, however rude, to indicate their last resting places, or distinguish their graves from those of their fallen enemies. 111'11IAT, 01 , DECEASED 501,1)1E11s THE HARRIS- BURG CIOIEIEItI A communication from the board of managers of the Harrisburg cemetery is herewith trans mitted, to which your attention is invited. The subject of which It treats, relative to the burial of deceased soldiers during the late war, is worthy of legislative consideration. CHARITAI:LE INtiTITUTIONS. The Pennsylvania Institute for the Deaf and Dumb, the Institution for the Instruction of the Blind, the Training School for. Feeble-Minded Children, the Northern Home for Friendless Children, the Houses of Refuge, several Salk rs' Homes, . and other similar charities which have received aid from the State, are, according to the reports of the principals and superintendents, all, in their different spheres, aceomplishingl7lllAl good for the unfortunate classes for whose benefit they were established. fit:tailed accounts of the affair:3 of the Penn sylvania State Lunatic Hospital, at Harrisburg:, and of the Western Pennsylvania Hospital, it Pittsburgh, will he found in the reports of the trustees and superintendents. Both these insti tutions, as well as others In the State for the care of the insane, are crowded. The infirmaries for the hospital at Harrisburg, for which appropri ntion was made last year, with a large number of additional wards. have tea erected, and will be ready for occupation during the whiter. • A liberal appropriation fbr the Western Hospital was devoted to the erection of buildings, on the Ohio river, seven miles below Pittsburgh, known as the Dixmont Hospital for the Insane. The ,great increase of population renders neces sary the establiShmenti , of other institutions of this kind. It is estimated that the ratio of the insane, is one to every thousand per:fiats, and on assuming the population of the State to be about three millions five hundred thousand, we have about three thousand five hundred insane. The hospitals in the Slate afford accommodation for only two thousand. Hence there arc fifteen hun dred for whom no provision is made, and many of them are languishing in the county prisons and almshouses. Ill" i] tE. CIVIL CODE Pursuatt to the first kection of a joint re , mlu- Don of the Legislature, approved on the loth of April hist, lion. David Derickson, W. Niachy Hall, Esq., and Wayne M'Veigh, Esq.. were appointed to "revise, collate and digest such public acts and statutes of the , civil code of this State, as are general and permanent in their nature." These gentlemen have commenced the work assigned them, and from which the follow ing benefits arc hoped to be derived: First—The correction of the redundancies, omissions, repetitions and inconsistencies of the existing statutes. • R.epad—The framing of general laWs as sub stitutes for the innumerable local statutes ' which for many years have comprised the bulk of the acts of Assembly and occupied the attention of the Legislature to the detriment of general legis lation. Thicd—The conferring upon the courts many powers now exercised by the Legislature, and which, it is beliesed,will greatly relieve that body by decreasing the demand for special legislation and allowing ampler opportunity for the consi deration of the public interests. The gentlemen comprising the commission have prepared • a large number of bills, most of which will be laid hos fore you at an early day. The most important of these, which the commission ers in harmonywith my own views, are of the opi nion should receiveearly and favorable action of the Legislature. are those relating to corpora tions, the poor, public highways, railroads, est i deuce and interest. The others, with, perhaps, a lew exceptions, might be left untmted upon until the entire work of revision is completed. The enactment of the bill on corporations into a law, at :in early period of the session, would; doubtless, servc to prevent much legislation that might be called for on subjects which the bill it self contemplates and for which it makes ample taco islet). The It Ile relating to the poor and to public bighways demand early attention, as the laws now in force on these subjects are so numerous and diversified tha t scarcely any two counties in the State are controlled be the same law. and it i- earnestly t woe desired that they re- CViVI• the cattiest practicable -auction of the Le ftist:l:roe. The conneiss:oners desire to be allowed, so far as possible, to complete the work and present it as a symmetrical whole: rather than iu (14 t 4c'eal tepts, and : express their opinion rel .tips to the time requisite for Its sill factory compl 4tion, They ask a repeal of so mach of the, first section of the joint resolution as excepts from their labors -those statutes rev'sed, codified and enacted tic (lt r the resolution approved March a:;, lsan," and an antendmi lit of the fourth section, so as to ex hid from "two" to dir, e years the time allowed for the completion of the work. The proposed amendments will give them control of tue whole body of the statute law, and such allowance of time as they deem necessary for its satisfactory revision. The accumulation of our public statutes, during a period of nearly two centuries, can hardly fail to present a confusion which it is eminently desirable should be corrected; and the only practicable mode of accomplishing this is the one indicated by the resolution of• the list Legislature. and having confidence in the gentle lileD selected for this work; It is due to them, as well as to the public, that they should not be re stricted, either as to time or by exceptions, which would prevent a perfect and desirable embodi ment of public statutes. The task Is one of more than ordinary magni tude, x:tquirj c lg deliberate consideration, critical acumen, an carafull comparison and arrange ment, together wlfit high order Of talent, literary attainments, legal research and energetic indus try, to bring it to that perfection which its im portance demands and the Legislature intended and will doubtless expect. MEE The Auditor General, Seeretary,of the Com! inonviealiit and State Treasurer, appotukd by the htture at its last , sestiou to revise and digest the tut laws or the State, have discharged that duty. Their report will be submitted at an early day, and I bespeak for it that careful ex amination which the importance of the subject tit serves. PC111.14! N1a141; TO RE GIVEN OF cEnTAIN raLLs Your attention is also invited to the acts of 3lay 13, 1857 and April 2, 1860, (Digest, p 13.) ta 'lulling public notice to be given of the appli cation for all private acts relating to real estate and for outs of incorporation. The wi-dom and justice of these are manifest, and their enforce ment cannot be otherwise than beneficial. At the last sePSIOII certain bills were passed in "C bid] large numbers of eitizemi were deeply inte rested, the responsibility for which, alter the*Ad journment, but few members could be hind willing to assume, or even to admit any know ledge of their passage.

All such hasty and careless legislation shonld be avoided, and the members td the saession now about to commence be enabled itt its Ouse to give 'an account of their participation in every act, however unimportant.

The Senate joint-resolution for the appointment of Its for the Smithsonian Institute, Messrs. Theo dore D. lo olscy of Cincinnati, Wm. B. Astor of New York, M. McLean of New Jersey, and Peter Parker of Washington, was taken from the Speaker's table and Fused Mr. SCHENCK, from the Committee of Ways and Meant., reported a bill to prevent frauds in the collec tion of taxes on distilled spirits. He said that it was in advance of the general action of the committee on the eubject of the revenue lawn, and was reported now out of the conviction that this was a point upon which immediate action was required for the best in terests of the country. The bill provides that from and after its passage no , distilled ephits in bonds shall be withdrawn or re moved from any warehouse for the purpose, of trans portation, redistillation. rectiticatiou, change of package, exportation, or for any other purpose what ever, until the full tax on such spirits shall be duly paid to the collector of the proper district; and it re peals all acts and parte of acts inconsistent with it. Mr. beiteack addressed the House in explanation mid advocacy of the bill, and said it virtually does away with the bonded warehouse system; the effect of it will be. in the first place. to release legitimately. if ever at all, the distilled narks now in the bonded warehouses of the United States. We have ascer tained that there are about 400,000 barrels, amounting to twenty mililori gallons, thus locked up. On these twenty million =Was the legitimate tax would be 10.000,040. Tneretre, therefore, $40.600,000 in taxes vatting to be paid, which may or may not ever be paid, depending on the removal of this whisky from these hooded warehouses. The effect of the bill will be, that the bonded ware house system will run Reed oat; or, to use a familiar " odra" on the remrival of these eaters sin• lots of whisky and the payment of the taxes on them. There is another dash of warehouses--ware house at the distillery, from which no whisky, aft er made and subject to taxation, can be removed until the tax is paid, SO that, virtually, there will re main no warehouse whatever, except the warehouses at the distillery, and those only containing liquor, on which the tam urn be paid before the whicsky is put on IN. market. The Special Commissioner of Revenue is satisfied that there is at this time no more than 50,(X70. (510 gallons produced subject to taxation; prior to the war St is known that about 1003190.000 gallons were pro ; eluced, but fi'c&y large proportion of that was used iii ilia arts, and especialty in the manufacture of va rious burning fluids. Petroleum furnishes now the bs-is oil which these articles aremade, and to a great extent has done away witle the production of distilled spirits for that purpose: and on the other band, we ale satisfied that the production of whisky for Can t emption by drinking lase increased since the increase - of the tax. We make a distinction between what is called , legiti mate distillation and illicit distillation; there are illicit es'ablishments on a small scah scattered throuch the country, in the cities, in the South. and elsewhere, producing whiekv, the product of which is not even it tended to be knownto the officers of the law; but even the a hole aggregate production from this quarter has not, as we thank, a very material effect on toe revenue of the country. It is the distilLation appa rently legitimate. under licenee. at known estalffieli menta where the officers of the law are, which produce whisky on which no tax 19 paid to the government, that has caused whisky to be brought down , below the possibility of anybody competing in its production who pays his taxes regularly, as he ought to do. One of the means by which this is done is by taking ad vantage of this bonded warehouse system. When the whisky is removed trom bonded warehouse A. at the distillery, it is removed under a transportation bond fr out that point io be reported to a collector in some district at a distance. and there accounted for. Does it ahulys get there: Very frequently not. Mr. Schenck went on to give ilinstrations of the made in which frauds are committed by transporta two in bomb Mr. Eita:ren addressed the House for some time in favor of a measure which he bad already introduced, awl which be explained to the House. • Mr. sc HENCK moved the previous question, and nnder its operation the bill was passed. 111r.Pesos:. from the Committee on elections, made a report in the contested election case from the Fret Congressional District of Kentucky, closing with a rese;utien that Symes, the contestant, was- not ma dded to the aut, and that Trimble, who holds the Ctltitlcate, is. He said that Mr. McClurg. one of the n.enihers of the committee, dissented, and the report we laid over for future action. Loeax asked leave to offer a resolution instruct ing the Committee on Retrenchment to report a hill providing for a bureau of civil ell, ice, to prescribe thedu.fee, q ualikatione, salaries, terms of office. 4,1 the employee in the , various departments of the government. aia, Hens, of Indiana, objected. COMMITTEE Or THE WHOLE. . _ . The Bons , ' them at ten minutes past. three. went into Commmittee of the Whole on the State of the I,:nion, Mr. Dawes in 11w Chair. and was addressed by IUI. CAM", of Oh* in 'aver of paying the national debt in legal tenders. Mr. Cary said that whatever diversity ol opinion existed in the House tu regard to the public debt, the House was united in opinion that the debt must be paid to the utternmst farming... The nation's honor must in no way be imp ached or com promised, and nothing must be done to impair confi dence in the integrity of the national character: nevertheless the mad dog cry of reuudiatloh should cot deter any one from carefully considering and dis cussing the subject. If the present Congress should authorize it. and he hoped it would, the issue of 015,000,00 u of Treasury certitirates, receivable at par for taxes audgovern ment dues, and made a legal tender, and should issue them for the express purpose of redeeming, that amount of buds now redeemable, or any others in the future not pay able in gold, it would certainly be no greater breach of faith than that which had been al ready thine. This enormous debt bad been incurred upon a paper coinage standard, and it must and should be paid in the same coin in which it had been con tracted, and this conformed in all respects to the terms of the original contract. The Committee rose, and Mr. PATNE, of Wisconsin, offered a resolution directing the Secretary of State to furnish copies of correspondence, be., on file in ref erence to the claim of B. W.
