The reault ia, the billa are pasted as originally prepared, without examination or com parison of views often crude and ill-digested, and without regard to constitu tional requirements, or sound public pol icy. Some of the worst of these hasty and badly considered enactments are ar rested every year by Executive inter position ; but in the nature of the ease, the vote at best can only be made a par tial restrant npon the evil ; and nothing can eradicate it short of constitutional nrohibition.

Judicious amend ments to the Constitution would arrest and destroy the growing evil ; and it is the duty of every patriotic citizen to co operate in all lawful measures to effect so desirable a consummation. In the enact ment of laws a radical change is demand- 1 ed. Kvery bill piesentad for adoption should be read, at least once in full, and the yeas and naya be recorded on its final passage. 5. It ia important that the State Con stitution should be made to conform to the Constitution of the United States as recently amended. 6. The subject of minority representa tion is now much agitated, and is receiv ing a large share of consideration among thoughtful and considerate men. It em braces problems of great political impor tance, anil its manifest justice commends it to the put'lie favor. Whilst some of the objects it proposes might be obtained Governor Geary's Stetsage. Oar space is too limited to allow us to pub'isb the whole of His Excellency's message After prefatory remarks, the finance of the Sta'e is reviewed The public debt on the 3l)th of November, 1S69. was S32.S14.540.95, on Nov. 30, lS70.it was 831,111 661 90, showing a reduction during the year of ? 1,702,879. 05 The average reduction per annum, since January 15, 1S37, baa been $1, 64S.1S7. He submits that by using the Stat assets S9.500.000, aud keeping the revenues and expenditures of the I'om monweullh at their present figures, "the entire liabilities of the State could be liquidated in about eight years. '' CONfTIl I'TIONAL CO.NVKSTIO. On this all-important utj ct we give i His Excellency's remarks in full : Four years' experience as an executive officer has given me abundant opportunity for careful observation upon the workings of our fundamental law and the Itgiclation b7 legislative enactments, the general of the State. This experience has strongly impressed me that there should ' e a thorou.-h revision of the State Con stitution, with such amendments as the wisdom of a convention assembled for that purpose would undoubtedly suggest and enlightened public sentiment demand The authority (or holding such con vention is found in the secoud section of the ninth article of the Constitution, and is declared in there words: ''I hat all power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their peace, safety, and happiness. Tor the advance ment of these ends, they have, at all times, an unalienable and indefeasible right to alter, reform, or abt li-h their gov ernment, in such manner as they may think proper " i ne last convention tor tins purpose was held in lS3-. During 32 years which have riuce elapsed, sundry amend ments have been made by joint resolu tions of the General Assembly, and, in compliance with the 10th article of the principles involved are so elementary and radical, they should, if adopted, be in corporated into the fundamental law. 7. The members of the General As sembly should be increased in number. S. There should be a fundamental limi tation to the powers of corporations. 9- There is adsolute nece?ity for great er security for the public fund and for their proper distribution. 10. The State Treasurer, Superinten dent of Common Schools, and a Lieuten- ant governor, tue utter to preside over the Senate, and perform the duties of Governor, hi cue of hi absence, sick ness, or death, should be elected by the people. The Attorney General, Secre ary of the State, and the Adjutant Gen eral should, for obvious reasons' continue to be appoiuted by the Governor. 11. The day for holding the annual elections could, with great propriety, he changed from the second Tuesday in October to the same day in November, on which nearly all the surrounding States now hold theirs. This would dis- Constitutiou' were approved and ratified j Pense Wltn one election 7 fourtn by a majority of the qualified voters of 1 7t' nd Prevent invasion from other the State. The most important were States for the purpose of ii.terfeiing with those of 1850, making the judges of the! our elections, as the citizens of each courts elective ; of 1S57, creating a Sink ing Fund, regulating the public debt and legislative districts, and cf 1S64, confer ring the right of suffrage npon those en gaged in military service of the State or Nation, and imposing sundry restraints on the power of the Legislature. These amendments, though important and valu able, give an incongruous sort of patch woi k character to the Constitution, and are not consonant with the requir ments of the times. This is a progressive period, and our otate has out-growu its fundamental law. That law should, therefore, be made to keep pace with the age in which we live. The existing Constitution, including the amend ments of 1857 and 1664, impose many wholesome restrictions on the pow er and jurisdiction of the Legislature; bnt experience has demonstrated their in adequacy to protect ihe people against the evils intended to be remedied, andespec- ially those of corporate power, and of special and local legislation. The pam jhlct law for the last four years show that the general laws for each session made only about 400 pages, whilst the local and special legislation for the same period amount annually to about 1,350. The resulting evils are manifold and ag gravated, and promiuent among the rea sons and suggestions why a remedy should be applied, I respectfully submit the following : j 1. Different systems of laws for roads, bridges, schools, elections, poor-houses, and many other things, are enacted for the several counties, townships, and bor ouglis, on subjects which ought to be regulated by general laws, operating uni formly upon all. 2 It is impossible for the citizens, judges of tbo courts, or members of the legal profession, to acquire or retain an accurate knowledge of the varying sys tems of laws in their respective districts ; and frequently, on removal from one eonnty to another, our people find them selves under almost entirely different codes. 3. Practically, the whole theory of our Constitution and government is subvert ed and destroyed by the present system of local enactments. Representative government ia baed on the idea that the laws shall be framed by, and be the re salt of, the collective wisdom of the peo ple's representatives. But what are the actual facts f The minds and efforts n the members are so wholly absorbed by private and local bills that it is almost imposible to get a general or public act considered or passed. The special and I local bills are usually drawn by the mem-' Mate would be occupied witn their own. The seasou, too, would be more satisfac tory to the people of the agricultural di. tricts, as it would not interfere with the harvesting of their corn and other sum mer productions. The necessity for constitutional reform is appreciated and addmitted by all who have reflected npon the subject, and without distinction of party the press has been out spoken, and has almost unani mously sanctioned the calling, at an early day, of a constitutional convention. For these reasons, and many others equally important which might be enum erated I earnestly recommend that the Legislature make provision for a conven tion to thoroughly revise and amend the Constitution of the State. The subjects of the ' revision of the Civil Code" and "Writs of Error in Crim inal Cases" we pass over for the present. APPORTIONMENT. The important duty devolves upon you to apportion, in accordance with, the last census, the representation to the General Assembly and to Congress. I This will be among the most laborious and difficult works of the session. In its performance, it is presumed and trust ed that you will be guided and governed by a strict sense of justice and impartial ity to all parties and to every district in the State, so that uo well-founded reason be given for complaint or censure. What is said of the "Common Schools'' we will publish hereafter. The Soldiers Orphans Schools are represented to be in satisfactory condition, and are thought to reflect great credit npon the State. The Agricultural College is prosper ing satisfactorily. It is recommended that the Military receive the favorable consideration of the Legislature. MILITARY HISTORY. The Legislature, in 1S64, passed an act authorizing the Governor "to appoint some competent person to prepare a mil itary history of Pennsylvania volunteers and militia," who bad been or might thereafter be in the field during the war of the rebellion. In conformity there with, my predecessor appointed Samuel B. Bates, Esq., to peform this difficult and resposible undertaking. He com menced the task with seal and industry and has prosecuted it with ability. The work has proved to be far more exten sive, and required a much greater amount of labor and research than waa first con templated Four large royal octavo volumes, handsomely printed and sub stantially bound, have been produced, and the fifth, and last volame, will be completed before the- 1st of Jnne arzt The book itself affords the best com mentary ' or criticism of the manner in which the author has discharged his dit ties. It puts In concise torn and per petuates the most important portion of our history, which otherwise would have been forever lost. Hereafter it will be invaluable to the Commonwealth. The " Rights of French Citizens' re fers to the treaty between France and the United States signed February 23, 1854, which stipulated ' that the citizens of the respective countries should mutu ally have the general rights to hold real and personal estate, and to enjoy the same. National Cemeteries and Immigration we leave for the present. THE M1LFORD AMD MATAMOB AS RAIL ROAD. About the close of the last session of the Legislature an act was passed and approved, entitled "A supplement to the Milford and Matamoras Railroad Com pany." The fourth section of this en actment seems to have been ioteuded to take from the State, and give to the com pany, the $10 000 bonus, paid into the Mate Treasury annually by the New York and Erie Railroad Company, un der the fifth section of the acts of March 1S46. 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 R iilroad Company that the State would look to that cor poration for the payment of the annual bonus, as heretofore, notwithstanding the passage of the supplement referred to. I regard the latter as having been enacted and approved, through inadvert ence, in the hurry of a closing session, and as hasty and inconsiderate legisla tion, at variance with the settled policy of the State, and highly prejudicial to the public interests ; and 1 therefore earnestly recommend its immediate re peal, or at least so much of it as relates to the bonus. Telegraph Lines and Railroads, Geo logical Surveys, Boards of Public Char ities, are all ably spoken of and submit ted to the Legislature for consideration. BATTLB Of GETTYSBURG. I am informed that tle picture of the battle of Gettysbnrg, painted by order of the Legislature, bas been completed. As this valuable production is the prop erty of the State, I deem it important that you should appoint a committee, with whom I shall be pleased to co operate, to take it in charge aud prepare a place suitable for its accommodation. This should be made sufficiently capaci ous, and so arranged as to affoid an op portunity fir the display of the flags aud other relics of interest to the citizens of the State, and to the numerous visi tors at the capital. . "Delaware Boundary Line." FISHERIES. The Supreme Court, has decided that the law requiring the owners of dims in the Susquehanna river to make fish- ways in the same, at least ia cases where they had purchased their works from the State, is unconstitutional and void. From this decission it does not appear that the State cannot have such ways constructed at its own expense. But this does not seem advisable until con current legislation can be obtained with Maryland, that State holding both banks of the Susquehanna river at its mouth and for many miles above. The sub ject has been brought to the 'attention of Maryland, the Legislature of which State at its last session, passed a law providing for the appointment of commissioners of fisheries, to report at its next session which will not occur until next winter. The fisheries under consideration are nearly, if not quite, as much deteriora ted by the want of statutory laws for their protection as by the mechanical ob structions in the streams. The New England States and New York have commenced the experiment of fish propagation in the large streams north of us on quite an extensive scale. Their experience will be nseful to ns when all obstacles arising from the divi ded States ownership of the river shores shall have been obviated. New Jersey appointed fish commissioners at the last session of her Legislature, and the com missioner of Pennsylvania is now in treaty with them in reference to needed concurrent legislation, ine subject is receiving careful attention in both States by their delegated agents. It is hoped that Delaware will join with Pennsyl vania and New Jersey in the reforms needed on the Delaware river. "The State Library," "Statistics," "Land Department," "Mines," "Yellow Fever," are subjects brought to the at ten lion of the Legislature. t IN MKMOMAN. Ilis Excellency trust that the "Legis lature will not iail to take suitable notice of the demise" of the Hon William F. Packer, Ex-Governor of Pennsylvania, and ot noo. wiiiiam w. ttatts, late member of the State Senate. PAROON8. "The number of applications for par don during the past year was 1,240, of which 62, or five per ceut., were granted.' FREE TRADE. The doctrine of free trade, so beneficial to foreign interests and so inimical to American industry, if carried out to its legitimate result, would soon canse American labor to be absolutely impov erished, reduce the free and happy mill ions of toilers lo the degraded condition of the down trodden population of Eu rope, and capital would no longer seek enterprise thus rendered nnremnnera tive. Protection to oar products and leaanfcetures, when rightly viewed, is protection to labor against competition from abroad. Labor In the United States commands higher wages than in any other country. Consequently onr working men are the more elevated. Labor is the foundatiou of . Individual and national wealth, and those nations that bave most thoroughly protected it from foreign competition have been most prosperous. During the late war the talismanic influence of protection on onr home industries, and upon labor and capital invested, were obvi us in devel oping atd raising them from their paral ised condition to the substantial prosper ity which has siuce pervaded the country And, now, when it has been so trans cendently demonstrated, that we are not only able to defend ourselves, but what is equally important, "to depend npon and live upon our own resoorces ;' and when the advocates of free trade are en deavoring to persuade ns to adopt the absurd theory, that "tariffs binder the developement of industry and the growth of wealth,'' why should not the wisdom of the Government make available the teachings of experience, and at once legislate for the good of the people ? Why should it not protect American la bor, maintain its compensation, give the producer a home market, and develope the unbounded resources of the country? The duty on tea, coffee, and tropical productions, and all inquisitorial and other taxation nnder the revenue laws, except npon luxuries, whiskey, and other liquors, and tobacco, should be re pealed. Fortunately in Pennsylvania there is but little, if any, difference of opinion on the subject of a reasonable protective policy. Yon cannot legislate upon this subject, but you can, and yon should, instruct your Senators, and re quest your Representatives in Congress, to nse their best exertions to preserve ns from the baneful influences of free trade, to which the emissaries of Great Britain are now with syren songs, so anxiously, and ind nstriously endeavoring to lure ns on to destruction. THE CHINESE COOLIE. The introduction of "Chinese Coolie," or "coutract labor," is one of the great est evils that can befall the toiling mill ions of our country. Th-ir presence is not only degrading, but impoverishing and paralyzing to our patriotic aud intel ligent workingmen. It is a new species of slavery, equal in all its injurious ten dencies to that, the extinguishment of which cost the nation such immense treasures, and so many thousands of valuable lives. It should not be tolera ted for a single moment, as its results will virtually be to debase and force our teution to this subject. A neglect to have done so might have been construct ed as an endorsement of a measure that meets my unqualified disapproval. The civil authorities of Pennsylvania have always been, and are still, competent to protect its citizens in the exercise of their elective franchise, and the proper and only time for United States militray forces to intervene will be when the pow er of the Commonwealth is exhausted and tbeir aid is lawfully required. His Excellency recommends Philadel phia as the proper place at which ""cel ebrate the hundredth anniversary of the nation's existence." The 4th of July, 1876, is the day, and concludes the mes sage as follows : It is my sincere desire that we may cultivate the spirit of good will, forbear anee, kiuduess, and charity, and nuite in constant efforts to promote the public good and general prosperity Jobs W.

A report, which is not credited was circulated a few days ago that a Prussian courier had been captured by the French near the Belgian frontier. and that on his person were found dis patches urging the Uuited States to press the Alabama claims. The Prussians bave opened fire on the French forts on the south and east sides of Paris There are still one hundred and fifty Americans in Paris. Tub following account of the assassina tion of General Prim was dispached to the New York Hra?d, from Madrid un der date of January the 4th inst : The General and two aids left the Cor tes at the conclusion of the debute in the afternoon, at 7 30, snd entering a car riage, drove rapidly thr.mgh Turco street, the shortest way from the Cortej to the war office. The streets were deserted, as a blind ing? snow storm prevailed. Just at the point where the Calledel Turco debouch es mto tbe Calledel Alcala tbrougn a narrow passage, two hired cab were drawn up and obstructed the way. This is so common au event, however, it would scarely attract notice, but Lieut. Moya dropped tbe glass in tbe door of the car nage nearest to bim, and looked out just in time to see two men who weiecanyiug guns under their long Andulusian cloaks, advancing from the shadow of the cabs. II ' had barely time to cry out "Stop General, they are going to fire." wheu the muzzle of two old f.ifhroned trabucos r bluuderhuss, were durted into the car- liage windows on either hand, shivering tbe glass to atoms, and their contents were discharged point blank at the occu pant on the back seat, who must have been in nudhsliiiguishable darkness. rue next tnomeut the assassins darted bick under cover ot the cans and so around into the Calle d'AlcuIa, where they mounted two horse tbit were tied to trees and in an intaut were safe from pursuit because of the enow and darkness.

Y. the States, which contemplated by the founders of the General Government, and, if persisted in, must lead to results disastrous to peace and harmony. The practice is one so serious in its character, ai.d so injurious in its tendencies, as to merit prompt consideration, and decisive action, not only by the general Assembly, but by Congress. One of the complaints of the colonists against the British King j was the oppression growing out of the assumption of this power. They said, He has kept among us in times of peace, standing armies, without the con sent of our Legislature ;'' and what is especially pertinent to the case in point, 'He has affected to render the military independent of, and superior to, the civil power " The alleged authority for the nse of troops, at our State elections, is derived from the tenth section of an act of Congress, approved May 31, 1870, entitled "An act to enforce the right of citizens of tbe United States to vote in tbe several States of tbe Uuion, and for other purposes," which authorizes Unit ed Slates marshels to call to their assis tance "such portion of the land and naval forces of the United States, or of the militia, as may be necessary to the per formance of the duty with which they ! are charged, and to insure a faithful ob servance of tbe Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.' But it must be a forced construction of this law that will justify tbe presence of armed national forces at our places of election when no necessity exists there fore, and where their presence is calculat ed to provoke collison. With" a good President, the exercise of the power re ferred to might have no injurious results, but in tbe hands of a bad man, governed by personal ambition, it miht prove exceed ingly calamitous. Unconsciously a good President might be induced to employ it wrongfully ; a bad one- would be almost certain to use it for his own advance ment. Under any circumstances, in my opinion, it is unsafe and antagonistic to the principles that should govern our republican institutions At the last Oc tober election United States troops were stationed at Philadelphia for the avowed purpose of enforcing the election laws. This was done without the consent or even the knowledge of the civil authori ties of either the City or tbe State, and without any expressed desire cn the part of the citizens ; and as far as can be ascertained , without existing nec essity.
