State Treasurership—A. New Liquor Law=A
f Honey for Governor Packer—Publishing the
1 Dissenting Opinions. '
- - -
t 2 • Hanartisunn, Jan, 14, 1858.
The distinguished •gentlemen from the different
motions of the State", who propose to be in attend
awe at the inauguration of Governor Packer, are
ileginning to- arrive. If 'the present delightful
*anther should continue, there will boa brilliant
railltary and olvie display—exceeding anything in
e previous history of the State'.
Quite a large number of petitions - rsoin - Tnna- -
delp - bia, numerously signed,, were presented in
favor' of a modification of the present liquor law.
A 'determination is evinced in both branches to
enact a Pew law, in consequence, as they contend,
of. the impotent workings of the ono - now on the
Statute•book. The bill, which was published in
several of your City papers several weeks since,
Was offered by Mr., Ramsey . It has been referred
to the • CoMmittee on Vice and Immorality, of
which he , is ohairnian, and. will be amended
in runny *of its provisions before the committee
report.
On the propriety of purehesing a house for the
Governor to live in, en extended debate took place
this morning, which was participated in by the
leading members on both sides of thti Rouse. The
ball misled the "Senate without any discussion, or
oven a pelt of pie pine and nays. It makes the
Auditor General, State Treasurer, and Secretary
Of the Comnionwealth a committee to purchase a
oeitsan heitee" on Front street as a Gubernatorial
residence, for the stun of $16,000 ; and in the de•
bate that took place there was the first opportu
nity yet offered- to judge the mettle of the new
li:towbars. Messrs. Goopp of Northampton, Smith
of'Be rice, 0000 of Philadelphia, and Nill and Mt:-
Glare of Franklin, shelved themselves to be both
clear-headed and fluent, and will be valuable ad
!Minns forenelo talent of the 11011E0. It
was moved to postpone the question until to-
morrow, to give members an opportunity to ex
amine the preinieca persoually,when it will become
the special order of the dap, and I think will pass
' bait offerred a - bill praviding for
the publication of the dissenting opinions of the
kapremijudges as well as those of the majority of the
bench' This is a move in the right direction, and
I am sure will meet with the approval of the legal
prefessiOn generally. When we consider that the
majority is often only one in a vote of flue; that
deaths, resignations, and elections every few years
change the opinions of the Supreme Court on ques
thins CI moment; and that a dissentient judge is
alwayi more careful to give his reasons and hunt
up the ituthoritier: to sustain his position, it will be
seen how"ntuch is lost to lawyers in the present
4ilan'of publishing only one side. tt

ANNUAL MESSAGE OF THE MAYOR.
At a meeting of City Couneils yesterday eller
noon, the second annual message of Mayor \'eux
was received and read. The document is a very
long one, and embodies valuable and interesting
statistics of the condition of the city for the past
year.
To the President and :Vendor' of the Select and Com
mon Commis of the City of Philadelphia.
GENTLEMEN : The requirements of law, uniting
with the obligations of duty, make it incumbent on
the executive head of tho city, to transmit to
Councils this annual communication.
During the year 1857, the management of those
departments, which are properly denominated de
partments of the municipal government, under the
not of consolidation, has been signalized by econo
my, promptness, honesty. and efficiency. No ground
exists, on which can justly be based, either censure
or complaint as to the operations of those adminis
trative branches of our municipal system. The ex
perience of the past year confines the opinion ex
pressed in my annual communication to Councils
on the Bth of January, 1857, theta revision of the
law establishing these departments is absolutely
necessary. The duties imposed on some of them
ore inconsruous.
There to a positive necessity for a supervisory,
and at the same time directing, authority, which
shall have a prantical as well as a theoretical ex
istence. The nearer our munioisal system of ad
ministration approaches that of our Federal Go
vernment, the more easily can the people compre
hend it. The various and important interests
which aro identified and connected with munt•
cipal government should be managed by an organ
ism of the simplest construction. To effect this, it
is of the highest consequence that direct account
ability,jise economy, energy, simplicity, prompt
ness and certainty in all administrative details
should mark the character of that system which
regulates and protects those interests.
A revision so desirable, however, had better not
be attempted, unless it Is begun, (tarried on, and
ended in a spirit of enlightened devotion to the
public good. Political prejudices, partisan schemes,
individual theories, contesting for control, should
be condemned as at open war against the substan
tial welfare of the people. Any attempt at legis•
lation on this alibied, which such-motives or in.
maim originate, will result disastrously to the
publio, and in the discomfiture,oUts originators.
To trine with the vast complieationa wbiercreete,
and exist in, a municipality, is unwarranted and
indefensible.
Above all is such an effort indefenelble vsliesi the
real motive is to make these great interests, asso
ciated under municipal care and protection, the
prey of mere political gambling for payty aggran
disement or success. The effort may enlist the
profligate or unreflecting, but they who will surely
lose aro the maims of the community. Their eelf•
protection and eelf•interest willtdefeat, at the crisis
of such an effort, its authors and its objects. finch'
en experiment is nut worth undertaking. If the
great ends of good government can be attained
by the revision suggested, I shall be rejoiced, but
it is far better that no such attempt be made, un
less the wisest and purest Influences unite for its
success.
The government of a large city is a machinery
of no inconsiderable complications. Its component
compositions are not necessarily in harmonious ac
tion. Though constituting a nominal unity, they
are segregations in fact, deriving their power from
different sources, and hence holding no direct re
sponsibility to any controlling authority. It is
unjust, therefore, to attempt to lix on an execu
tive dila' of an administration of municipal affairs,
so constituted, an accountability, for its tinperfcot
or unnatisfaotory results. Every sensible ob
server will .discover defeats and imperfections,
but the cause of their existence should not bo nil--
taken for the inability to prevent their develop.
mist.
The cost of such an establishment is moot fre
quently taken so a criterion by which to judge of
its value, its workings, and the objects and ends it
accomplishes. There is no principle of criticism
more unsound—none more unworthy of en en.
lightened constitueney. Government is a neces
sity Its requirements are fundamental. Ds ends
incontrovertible. Its etruoturo and Its powers are
crested by those on whom It operates. Upon what
principle, then, can ouch a system bo_ judged by
the cost which Its existence involves ? .That which
is best administered Is best, provided economy and
honesty aro patent in every investigation into Its
operations.
The welfare, health, happiness and security of
the public, are the groat alms of municipal organi
zation. These cannot be secured without pay
ing for the moans by which they aro pr)oured.
The funds to discharge these disbursements are
raised by taxation. The taxes are the yearly
quota each oltize, pays not only for his own wel
fare, health, happiness and security, but also for
their general benefits, as evidence of municipal
character. Each citizen thus receives a direct
and an indirect advantage. Surely it is the nar
rowest of all narrow foundations, for a fair Mg•
moot of any administration of municipal affairs,
to base it solely on the number of rents in the
dollar, those benefits, advantages and results,
pearl/ cost the elitism.
This principle, carried out to its conclusion,
would result in this : that a* government is best,
because it costs nothing. There are ntltnerOlid
vital and absorbing considerations, which should
enter into the estimate of the oharadter of the
management of our municipal affairs, , which
rarely receive due attention from the best in.
formed and most critic:el. flow, irrational, how

estimate of the policy and measures of a WWII'
Apil government, which proteetaorberighee; and
fxbilitatea induatry, trade, andlnsineas In all its
eithdivialons, is it to judge•.fte administrative
ebaraeters by the cost of paving new streets

00i the only single and alone standard by
vrlich to decide on the administrative ability of
them entritsted with administration, or the logia
lathe oiedom of those who, make municipal laws.
Within the past two years, tbe diabursements
for city . expenses, present an example of the erro
neous mous judgment, If formed on the basis alluded
r t 4, eThoapprepriation bills for 1857, included the
antot dfmearly one million of dollars, for which
I,ofatioll-tvas imputed In thatyear, which properly
belonged to the expensee of the years IBA 1855,
x 441850. Those who were forced to raise this
Boom by taxation, had no lot or part in contracting
We debt, which was thus to be paid.
For the year 1858 the tax to be levied will be
_about 1.80 on the hundred dollars—a reduction
ulnae lan year of twenty cents to the hundred dol
lars.
...Ills Honor gives foots and figures to prove that
the city of Philadelphia pays LIMO than one•
third of the assessed taxes of the entire State. lie
asyt:
"If, then, the City Councils had the exclusive
;rower within the corporate limits of raking the re
venue for State and municipal purposes, with the
requisite authority to designate the property liable
or revenue, and to equalize the assessments, and
thus produce an equality in the tax levied, it is
easily perceived that the per centage of taxation
would be reduced to about a nominal figure corn
pared with the present exhibits."
• 4 ,T,jiis message congratulates Councils on the fact
'that the city had met the interest on all its in
debtedness notwithstanding . the financial crisis :
,It recommends the application of more stringent
means to compel the payment of overdue taxes,
and it suggests the appointment of agents to col
leot those claims with a penalty added. This
plan it is urged, will be more effective than the
publication of the _names of delinquents The
,Ma or proposed to divide the city into four districts
with a collecting agent for each.

However much this state of things is to be deplored,
no Found or preet cable remedy can be found in
temporary legislation. If the people fail in the
prompt payment of their itnlebtedneee to the city,

to the subject of finances, end several suggeestions
are made in this connection.

SURiET DEPARTMENT
The expenditures of this department have bean
$23,264.70, being. $0,529.71 less than the amount
appropriated for the past year. Of this, there has
been expended for seetional plans of survey and
regulations, $10,291 O. The extent of line re
gulations, completed in 1857, roach near 130 miles
of streets, and cover an area of about 3,800 acres
Under this head there is much said upon the sub
ject of sewerage and drainage.
The Mayor considers it alinot.t impossible for
either " latent or p dent deceit" to .eseare the
/mutiny that hi non• exercised in tho Controller's
department.
El=
The 1•layor expresses I& satisfaction that thi
branch of the public service is honorably adniin
[stored.
The current expenses of the department for 1857
were $359,202 10. For 1850 the appropriations for
this service were $420,003.49. In 1055 the sum
was $743,02E416.
The message says:
" During the past year the public health has been
most satisfsetory. The claiming of the streets is
now performed by contract. It Is as well done as
can be expected from the contract system. I not
decidedly opposed to this plan of performing this
most necessary labor for preserving the public
health. It Is almost impossible, in any carefully
prepared contract, to agree on the performance
of all that is required from those who aro thus
employed."
DEPARTMENT or nunitways, BRIDGES, ..t c.
Tho appropriation made to this department for
the year 1657 was $372,000, of which amount tho
ARM of $359,202.19 was expended, leaving a bal
ance to merge on the 31st of Deoemberor $42,797.81.
Tho message holds that notwithstanding the
financial condition of the city, the following im
provements should ho made :
A new bridge ever the river Schuylkill; the
enlargement of the water basins and other parts
of the waterworks; tho culverts demanded to
preserve tho public health; commodious and se•
cure buildings for the public offices; a new hospi
tal for malignant and contagious diseases; the
consolidation of the gas works, and the establish-
meat of a department of " gas and lighting the
city:" the cleaning and deepening the duces on
the Delaware front; the expense nece, , sury to
enclose the Lemon Dill property, and tune police
etation-houses.

The Mayor invites the attention of Councils to
the question whether the rent+, issues, and profits,
belonging to the Sinking Fund should not ho paid
to the City Treasurer on this account. The pro
perty purchased for market sites not being profit•
able, the Mayor thinks it ought to be sold or ex
changed for city loan.
"The necessity for enlarged accommodations in
the public buildings is no longer a matter for
doubt. The accommodations for the executive do
pertinent aro most unsuitable for its Increasing
business, and I earnestly invoke the action of
Councils on the subject."
The report of the Comuils.,ioner of City Property
shows that—
" The annual appropriations for the your 18.57
amounted to $57.062 57, of it hich there have been
expended 519,220 06, leaving a balance unexpend
ed of $7,192 51; special appropriations, amount
ing in the aggregate to $16,070 50, were also made;
out of which have been expended $11.751 82,
leaving a balance of 51.321 61 unexpended. The
annual and special appropriations for the year
amount to 573,135 07 ; the expenditures t o vit,.

this department, $8,161 12.
" Tho amount of rovenuo rreeived, and paid to
the City Treasurer, for the past year, was $20,-
811.38."
In many of our publio squares and parks etrik•
ing improvements hare boon made. Where trees
have failed to grow in consequeneo of the severity
of the season, or from othor causes, they hero been
removed, and their places filled by the choicest
varieties. .
The liedgely property was recently added to
Fairmount Park, giving to us certainly one of the
largest, and, so far no Its natural features and its
locality are concerned. one of the most beautiful
places of public resort in the country ; but it in
requisite that many improvements should be made
there ; an it is, it is a splendid monument of the
liberality of public•epirited citizens, and it now
required municipal liberality and energy to render
it what it was designed to be by the donors.
The "hunting Park" improvement have been no
far mauled, that the entire plans has been staked
out on the ground.
WATER DEPARTMENT
The eater Works have been as ably managed
this past year ns usual.
The conu,tl expenses for the year 1857 Amount
to the am of $290,808 82, nod the receipts for the
samepOod to the sum of $125,476 11.
In mf last annual cotninunication to Councils it
was staled that the present works were hardly ade
quate to the increasing wants of the 2oltlio I bog
to repent this statement. The water basins at
liairmetrit should be enlarged and heightened,
the Kensington Water Works abolished, and these
at fiprin; Garden rendered capable of great and
ridditiotal power, and enlarged distributions and
provisions made for the vonstruetion of a basin at
the Twenty-fourth ward works.

ROd adople I :
!Zen.lt td, That the pet tdiar circumstances of the
present tiwu demand, on the put of every friend
of temperance, renewed concentration of effort in
opposing the common enemy of our me..
lie fared, That intemperance is en evil,deatroe
tlve of portions! worth, domutio happiness, public
proyperity, and Winne! honor.
. .
Resaved, That they who stand, with folded
arms, listless spectators of the efforts that are be
ing made in our midst to promote and extend the
manufacture, sale, and oonsumptloh of tritest•
eating drinks, are guilty or a great wrong, from
their accountability P,r which there is no escape
Resolved, That every good and prudent parent
is loudly called upon to aid us in the promotion of
the temperance reform, if not from a consideration
of their own personal
the
and that of their
fellow
men, at least from the powerful incentive of pa
rental love, that they may be instrumental in
saving their offspring from the misery and guilt of
a drunkard's life, the horror and despair of a
drunkard's death-bed.
h'tsolvrd, That the Order of the Sons of Tempe
rance presents a circle of safety to all who enter
within its embrace, and the best and most practi
cal inetrumentality for concentration sod union of
effort among all the frionde of temperance, In the
extension of the blessings of total abstinence from
all that Intoxicatem throughout the entire country.
That we hail with joy, as indicative
of good, the rapid increwe in the Order of Cadets
of Temperance, and earnestly urge epos every
well-wisher of his country to lend a helping hand
in the noble work of saving oar youth from the
erits which certainly follow the use of intoxicating
beverages.
Fire.—The alarm of fire shortly before
nine o'clock last night was clamed by the burning
of the fancy goods store, No 1:301 Chestnut street,

'card. The store had been closed shout half an
hour when the fire was discovered. It originated
in the back portion of the store, near the stove.
The loss is covered by insurance In the Reliance
Insurance Company.
THE MONEY MARKET.
Nu, tnELPnut, January 14th, isas
The stook market exhibits steadiness in prices,
with a limited amount of business transacted.
Reading Railroad yeaterdey lost j, and regained;
to day. The money market is without change.
The Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company pub
lish their statement in another column. The
growth of this company since its commencement,
ten years ago, displays a degree of vigor and popu
larity that cannot fail to be gratifying alike to the
trustees and to the policy holders. The death of
the head of a family, especially in this country,
too often causes a oessation of the moms of sup
port, and the dimes's-, and humiliation of his off
spring To present such calamities to these near
and dear to him, and who naturally look to him
for protection, is so plainly the duty and the inte
rest of every man that it is really a matter of won
der that life insurance is not a more universal pre
caution among our thoughtful people.
The New York Tines says the popular inquiry.
for several years before tho recent panic, was •
Where .loef all the gold of California and Ans.
baba go to' The crisis has now d the
question, and it is often asked, in its new shape :
117,err does all the gold tome from ' It argues
that the great increase in the production of gold,
since its discovery in California, has gone into the
hands' of the people of Europe and America, as
general 'circulation, the advances in trade and
commerce, the expansion of credit, and the conse
quent rise in values, having more than kept peso
with the increased production of gold.
It is front the fact that the panic has reversed
these relations that we see gold rapidly accumu
lating at the commercial centres, and, ao a natural
consequence, we are to look for a reduction in the
rates of interest, both abroad and at borne. The
employment of capital has been fully up to the
scale of new productions of gold, but as this will
not prebably he the case again for some years to
come, the competition to make money productive
will produce lower rates of usance than those to
which borrowers have latterly been subjected
