Inas gcnreraar's Kassugural Address. Gentlemen's/ the Senate and- House of Reprunitatives and Fellow citizens: Permit me, through you, to tender my heartfelt thanks to the people of thie ,commonwealth' for their partiality in ca liche.' me as their chief magistrate. In gbediencs to• law I have appeared before you to pledge my fidelity to the constitution. Its obligations and the responsibilities it imposes are, I hope, ful ly realized. In the adntinistration - of public affairs it is my earnest prayer that I may be guided by divine wisdom, and that all my actions may reflect the peo ple's will. predecessor presented, in his annu al message, his recommendations, and much valuable information, so fullyr and so well, that it appears unnecessary to enter into details. My views are in ac cord,with the general policy of the state administration for the past few years, al though I believe some changes might be for the public good, and to these I shall briefly allude. Having been closely con nected with the finances of the State niece 1866, Ispealr knowingly when I eay that the resumes hive been faithfully col lected,; extravagant appropriations have been avoided ; taxation ha been equaliz ed by the repeal of the most burdensome taxes; and, by strict economy and good matigement,the public debt has been large ly reduced. The policy of paying off the State ilia believe, fully endorsed by the tax-payers, sad it shall be my aim to 'ad here to that policy; The public debt, .however, decreasing while the revenues are increasing, it occurs to me that a fur ther 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 products of our manufactories, the steady developement of our resources, and the expansion of our railway system, are rapidly enriching our people. If we measure the aggregate of our wealth and its growth upon the basis of the late census, we can readily under stand how a lighter tax imposed upon the present taxed property will meet all our necessities in the future; provide an am ple fund for the liquidation of our debt, and give a decided impulse to useful enterprises thus relieted; I sincerely trust hawecer, that us any attempt to lessen the burdens uf taxation, the legislature will exercise a wide discretion, lied properly discriminate in favor of .our industrial in terests. In every part of .this commonwealth are found rich deposits of minerals. To make them available and productiveshoald be our earnest aim, . and shall receive, a large ,Bare of my attention. At can be done by the intelligeut aniployment of labor and capital. This is an .object of immense Interest, arid.: bat be' served by'ftret providing the highest pos 7 sit& hhowledge of -the Obaracter and 10- ratios, of the most 'likable minerals. Labor can be made- infiting, by =tiling it remunerative. • its profits must devout' largely upon the' tuatutit'of protection scoor*dbl one* • in 'lir /Mos to. dustries, axinestion w tc may safely La committedAcrfour represeniatives in the national legislature. ; Capital is the water for the wheel, and sh'ould be abundant, and the rate of interest should ho easy for actite and wholesome enterprise, and whatever legislation will best serve this end should ,receive - - - pineral supporL— Honey will always seek the highest rates, the security being the same; and for that mason it now gravitates to neighboring states, where the legal roles ,are higher, than our own. If we cannot - remove our restrictions, and make money as_ ree as 61" !vie., let tie !lir. mit the same rate alltivvid by-other states, and thereby retain it withiu our borders. It will-be iny pasure, as it is my duty, to have a watchf ul care over the school system of our State. No part of oar gov ernmental policy shotild command the employment 'of more wisdom than that which is to promote the instruction of our youth. It is a source of pride and satisfaction that our people contribute so freely to an object so worthy as our schools, and the report of the superinteu-, dent of common a3hools must convince every reader of to happy results accruing trom thejudicious management of our educational system. 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 necessities of their parents, or otherwise, attend and re ceive the blessed privileges of these schools. This is a matter of grave import, and exacts of ns all, people and legislature ike, earnest and thoughtful considera tion. • in this connection, let me say a word in regard to a subject that has often en gaged my thoughts, and to which I invoke the attention of our law makers. No part of our system of education has secured so universal commendation as that which is embraced in the circle of instruction of those who were made orphans by the cas ualties of war. The helpless condition of these little ones touchingly appealed to the hearts of our people, and the response was the establishment of the orphans' schools that are now the pride of our State. But in rescuing these children from destitution, and providing for their education until they have attained the age Of sixteen years, have we filled the meas ure of our duty to them ? Thrown out into the world to do battle with life's trials at an age peculiarly dan gerous to youth, does not common human ity require that the State should maintain its guardianship of these children until their habits are somewhat settled, and they hare acquired the ability to earn theirown litlihoud ? The estab.ishment of iudustrial schools wherein useful trades may be taught scents to promise the mina and best solution of this rruh- It is highly important that in Fines of insurrection and riot there should be at command a good sod eminent force of militia to assist the civil power . to protect property and maintain Ito authority. T. create such a force it seems absolutely UP cesaary that the State must extend its aid in a more substantial way to those who enlist in her service. The fines for the non-performance of- militia duty are ob noxious to many of our best citizens, Ind yield•at beet but a slender revenue, and, that, too, on a wrong basis, for property and not the individual should be taxed.— The military should be well distributed throughout the State, and the number of companies limited, and within the limit, to make them efficient, every company ac cepted, when found to be up-to the prop er standard of numbers, drill, and disci pline, should receive directly from the public treasury at least $5OO per annum. rtiSrRINCE. The fire and life . insorance companies am making an effort to secure uniform legislation in all the Steams, and the States haring a large home interest in insurance ham been the first to adopt that princi ple. To impose heavy fees and tares an on' insurance companies .ineorporated in other States,-and 'doing businessin this, ere-acts npon the home companies, by rea son of the reciprocal lairs of those States. If it is deemed desirable to protect and foster the home insurance interest, Already too long neglected, let uniform laws be enacted To me it seems this interest is of sufficient importance to Warrant the temporal?' loss of a portion r.f the revenue now received from the foreign companies. The revenues from our own companies will increase by reason of. their 'enlarged business, and we will thus be compensat ed for ouch temporary loss. CENTEIT'SIAL. The necessity for immediate action on the part of oar people to insure the suc cess of the centenial exhibition must be realized by every thinking man. Its fail ure will be to out-listing shun—its sac• tees must rebound to the honor and per manent benefit of the commonwealth,-- Located in our metropolis which id fast moreing,to the front of the manufactur ing cities-of the world, affording an op portunity to display the products and re sources of our etate, and opening to for eigners new channels of information as to our character and enterprises, it cer tainly, is the imperative duty of every citizen who bares his state to lend h is conn tenance and support to this great exhibi tion. The dignity and good•pamc of the commonwealth are at stake. Let ns not forfeit these by a lack of public spirit or by mistaken economy. Any proper plan the legislature may see fit to adopt to aid this national undertakeing shall receive the hearty concurrence of the executive. CONSTITUfION'AL REFOIRIS The subject of constitutional reform is now occupying a large part of public atten tion. Opinions are various as to its pro priety or necessity, as the views of men are conservative or progressive. There is now, however, in session in Philadelphia a con• vention of respectable and honorable gentlemen, fresh from the people and, au thorized by them to revise the constitu thin. To these gentlemen we confident ly refer these luestions of constitutiOnal reform, in the belief that out of their combined integrity and wisdom will springsuch measures as will best conduce to our eatety, happiness and prosperity. BPECIAL LEGISLATION There is one parr mount and • growing evil, however, to which, by try oath as your execntive; and my sense of duty as a citizen, lam constrained to ask your serious attention. I allude, to epeeist leg. islatien or the abuse of legislative power, to further political loeal,and private ends to the csclusion of -public business. I cannot condeinn•this evil in langtiage too strong, and it seems but the part of come naou sense, that some positive restriction, be Put-upon IggisLation , thst . will cm li no it to public objects an d . make it; eqact mute uniform and general. PARDONTITG edwEr. There is another subject to which I may be,permittdd toalvert, because it coucert!b opt 1:W.14y most import.arit functions.. , I refer to the Pardobing power.. The exer cise of this - poire4 rests exclusively within the discretion mid condyiebce at, the exe cutive; and'wheit - tre consider the impbr. tuulties of the -friends of a condemned man, and their natural inclinatiou to use every influence to. obtain • a pardon,- it innstshe conceded this : power hying find dangeriury one - with' which' to' that . would relieve the conscience and, di vide the reap:ll4lolkt' of the exercise of this power must surely commend' ithelf to the good sense Of ouripeople, . . .stxtuko . . There is a popular demand iitoo, that the sinking.rund, containing bonds •that represent the proceeds of the sale of pub lic works, and which tire applicable alone to the payment of the public debt, shall be kept sacred fur the purpose to which it is dedicated, and that the safeguards of thin fund shall be made so"' strong as to protect - it from every encroachment, how ever ingeniously planned or powerfully supported. To this demand' ' . the consti tutional convention will doubtless re spond, and for myself f may be perMitted 'to say. that no lei ielation - impairing the security of this fund, or changing its character, can ever receive my santien. In view of the prospects that the legis lature will after this session, be divested of its power to legislate for special ob jects, a popular apprehensions is prevail ing that interested parties will push their schemes at this juncture, and make extra ordinaly etrots to control legislation. I deem it my duty to impresi upon the leg islature the necessity of examining wi th more than ordinary Care every measure submitted fur their consideration. BOARD OF PUBLIC CHARITIES Too much praise cannot be accorded to the honorable and humane gentlermn who constitute the board of public chari ittes, for their valuable services, gratni tionsly bestowed, in supervising the man ifold and important public trusts the state has confided to their care. I take great pleasure in inviting the attention of the legislature to the suggestious and work of this excellent board, and shall mine in any plan that will help these gentlemen to accomplish their beneficent designs. We have great rause fur thankfulness my fellow citizens, when we contemplate the happy and prosperous condition of our cou t ry. 'Zee uperatin g rapidly from the ravages and waste of our great civil war, she is moving I , rward to a new era of progress and development. And in this march to a higher destiny in which all the states united, Pennsylvan ia should hate a place in the van, a position to which she is entitled by the intelli gence and character of her citizens, the magnitude of her resources, the extent of h. r.tuda,trial int..rest4, and the rand n.eord f her patriot iam. T. main iv.in t' t•.:- f,. r our prott4 old common wealth alit be the constant 'endeavor of your Executive, and to strengthen his arm and enlarge his understanding. he asks the support and counsel of all good mitzPus, and numbly implores tie aid and coidatice Him who is the Supreme Ruler. SOLDIERS'' ORPIIANS. i A distinguished feature of the proces sion was the'fine appearance of the sol i diers' orphans, who marched with remark ) able precision and whose into ements gen erally reflected the highest credit on then selves and instructors. Thehe were near ly 800 in hue, all of whom were neatly I uniformed and comfortably clad. Nine schools were represented in the proces sten. White Hall, Cumberland county, Mount Joy, Lancaster; Soldiers' Orphan Institute, in connection with the North ern Home, Philadelphia; Lincoln. Phil delphia ; Chester Springs,Chester; Bridge water (eo.ored,) Buck's Loyeville, Perry; „Il'Allesterrille, Juniata . ; CiiOSY 1 Ile.. Hun• tingdom. The whole number of insti tutions in the state, in which soldiers' orphans a e provided for ;is thirty-seven and the number of these wards. of the slate now in the above schools is 8,6J0- 2,000 boys and 1,600 girls. After the inauguration of Governor Hartranft the orphans. were marched- to the Pennsylvania house, Second and Lo enst streets, and treated to a substantial dinner furnished by Mr. Gemmill at the instance of the soldiers'_ orphan school authorities, About thirty orphan girls waited ou the boys. - The repast concluded - the orphans took up their line of march for the court house in anticipation of addressee from Gover nor slartranft and ex-tioveruor Geary.— By the time they bad become seated the room was filled to repletion, At about.four o'clock Professor Wicker sham, &ate superintendent, called the boys to order and eouptimeuted them on their marchnig, equipments and good be havior during the day. lie felt excee dingly gratified at their appearance and general depertment. lo concluding his brief remarks the professor introduced ex-Governor Geary, who was received with loud and continued applause. The retiring governor addressed the boys in a speech of about twenty utiuntes length. He spoke of the solicitude he had always felt for their welfare, of the fluter; al care he had exercise I ore: them. of the heroic sacrifices their parents had made for the perpetuity of the govern ment and of the great debt due those ful leu heroes, Pennsylvania occupied a proud position. She had inaugurated the .or- Olen school system, which feeds, clothes and educates the offspring. of the dead soldiery 'of the state.
