November 30, 1666, 22536,013 69! Improvements in Treasury since 1561, $5,612,011 47 The extraordinary expenditures, dur ing the war and since its close, in pay ments growing out of it by authority of acts of Assembly, have amounted to up wards of five million of dollars, which ad ded to the actual payment of the indebt edness of the State, and money in the Treasury for that purpose, shows ttie rev enues, above the ordinary expenditures, to have amounted to S10,612,000, which would all have been 'applied to tho pay ment of the debt of the Commonwealth, in the last six years. A careful atten tion to therevenuesof the Commonwealth, with such just and prudent .changes as may be required in the future, aud a wise economy in expenditure, will, in my judgement, insure the entire payment of the public debt within the period of fif- teeu years. Ihe time fixed for the redemption of 2,IUe,02u 21 of tho indebtedness of tho Commonwealth having expired, I re- comment! that provision oe maue ior its redetnption, by making a new. loan for that purpose, payable at such periods as the prospective revenues will justily. I recur, with much satisfaction, to the wisdom, prudence and economy of the' sister States, and the power given by the representatives of the people, in the man- Constitution to make war on our part, in agement of the finances of the Common- j eludes the power to dictate, after our suc wealth, during a period of such einbar-cess, the terms of peace and restoration, rassment,. uncertainty and distress, and The power of Congress to guarantee to congratulate you and them on the near j every State a republican form of Govcrn approach of the entire liquidation of the: ment, would cover, much more cogent ac- publie debt. Since my last annual message I have drawn from the Treasury two thousand dollars of the fund placed in the hands of ments for the States, is to be accepted in the Governor for secret service and other, the broadest meaning of the term. It is extraordinary expenses, which I have ex-1 not a mere formal or unnecessary provi pended id payment of my personal staff sion. The power was conferred, and the and for other purposes, as heretofore, ex-' duty enjoined, to preserve free iastitu cept five hundred and sixty-three dollars ' tious against all. encroachments, or the and forty-eight cents, which I have re- j more violent elements of despotism and turned into the Treasury. . anarchty. And now that treason has, by I present for your consideration the rebellion, subverted the governments of a amendments to the Constitution of the . number of States, forfeiting for the peo Uuited States, proposed to the Legislature 1 pie all the rights guarantied by the Con of the several States by a resolution of stitution, including even those of property both Houses cf Congress passed oa the and life, the work of restoration for these 16th day of June last. I was glad that States rest with the Natioual Government, jt was possible, without delaying the ffnal and it should be faitnfully and fearlessly adoption of these amendments, to ascer-' performed. tain the opinion our people upon them at; By their passage by Congress, and the the general election in October last. By declaration of the people at the late elec the election of a large majority of em- tion?, the faith of the nation is pledged bers openly favoring and advocatiug the amendments, that opinion seems "to me to have been abundantly expressed. Indeed, the amendments are so moderate and rea sonable in their character thai; it would have been astonishing if the people had failed to approve them. That every per son, bora in the United States and free, whether' by birth or-manumission, is a citizen of the United States, and that no State has a right to abridge the privileges of citizens of the United States these ae principles which -were never seriously doubted anywhere, until after the insane crusade in favor of slavery had heen for some time in progress. What is called the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in tho Dred Scott case has made it expedient and proper to re-assert these vital principles iu an authoritive manner, and this is done in the first clause of the proposed amendments. - The right of prescribing the qualifica tion of voters is exercised by the respec tive States, under the Constitution of 1780; three-fifths of the slaves were counted in ascertaining the representative population of the several States. The amendment to the Constitution abolished slavery in all the States and territories. Though it was formerly otherwise in most, if not all, of the old Southern States, yet for many years past free ne groes have not, iu any of these, been per mitted to vote. At present, therefore, the late slave States would be entitled to count the whole of their former slave pop ulation as a basis for representation, in stead of three-fifths thereof. That is to say, they would have in the" existing ratio about twenty more members of Congress than they had before slavery was abol ished, and the free States would lose the same number, making a difference of about forty members of Congress, or, say, one-sixth of the whole body. In other words, the treason of the rebellious States, the suppression of which has cost U3 so maqy hundreds of thousonds of precious lives, and so inauy thousands of millions of treasure, would be rewarded by giving them a vast increase of political power. This absurdity, the Second clause of the proposed amendments, designs to prevent, by the just, equal and moderate provision, that in future the representative popula tion of each State shall be ascertained by a proportionate deduction from the whole population thereof, if its laws exclude from the privilege of voting any male cit izens, not criminals, of the ago of twenty one years. I have yet to learn that any plausible objection can be offered to such a provision. The third clause of the proposed amend ments excludes from Congress, and from the College of Electors, and from all offi ces, civil or military, of the United States, ,000 00! persons who, as functionaries of the Uui ,033 27 ted States, or 23 Executive or Judicial officers of any State, have heretofore sworn to support the Constitution of the United fctates, and afterwards violated their oath by engaging in rebellion against the Fame, j unless Congress, by a vote of two thirds, shall have removed the disability of any 1 :such persons. j The fourth clause affirms the validity of the debt of the United State?, and pro- j hibits the assumption or payment of the ; ! Rebel debt, or any claims, for the loss or emancipation oi any slave. The fifth clause provides that Congress shall have power to enforce the provis ions of the other clauses by appropriate legislation. That these wise and moderate provisions will meet the hearty approbation of the Legislature. I cannot doubt. If pro posed by two thirds of each House of Con gress and ratified by three-fourths of the States, this Constitution provides that they shoula stand as adopted amendments of that instrument. A question has been raised whether the States lately in rebellion, and not yet restored to their privileges by Congress, are to be counted on this vote in other words, whether those who have rebelled land been subdued shall be enliltled to a potential voice in the question of the guar anties to be required of them for future obedience to the lairs. So monstrous a propoeition n, it appears io rue, not sup ported by the words or spirit of the Con- jstitution. Ice power to suppress insur- rection includes the power of making pro vision against its breaking out afresh. These States have made an unjust war 'upon our common Govemaieut and their tion than has yet been had. Tho duty imposed upon Congress, to provide and maintain republicau govern - . m to the amendments, aud they will be fair ly carried out, and their benefits given to the rebellions States. But when the amendments shall have passed into the organic law, should the people lately in rebellion persist in their rejection, and in contiuued disobedience and tho obstruc tion of the execution of the national laws, it will be an admonition to the nation that the animus and force of treason still ex ist among a people who enjoy none of the priviteges of the Governments save of its generous tolerance. With their rejection, all hope of reconstruction, with the co operation of the rebellious States, on a basis that would secure to the Ilepublic the logical results of the war, will have vanished, and the duty must then devolve upon the Government of adopting the most effectual method to secure for these States the character of governments de manded "by the Constitution. They are without lawful governments: they are without municipal law, and with out any claim to participate in tho Gov ernment. Oa what principle of law or justice can the rebellious States complain, if after they have rejected the fair and magani mous terms upon which they are offered brotherhood with us, and a participation in all the blessings of our freedom, and they have refused, if the Government, in the exercise of its powers, should enter ancw.upon the work of reconstruction at the very foundation, and then the neces sity will be forced upon us to discard all discrimination in favor of the enemies of our nationality, to give us and them en during freedom and impartial justice. The 'Constitution has defined treason, and has given express power to suppress insurrection, by war, if necessary. It has not provided, in detail, the terms to be granted after such a war. How could it do so ? It would probably not bo con tended by the wildest partisan that these States had a right to be represented in Congress at a time when they were car rying on open war against the Govern ment, or that Congress was not then a lawful body, notwithstanding their exclu sion. How then have they regained the right of representation ? Surely not by simply laying down their arms when they could no longer hold them. The United States have the right, and it is their duty, to exact such securities for future good conduct a3 they may deem sufficient ; and tho offenders, from whom they are to be exacted, can have no right to participate in our councils in the decision cf the question of what their puuishxnent shall be. Practically, common sense determined the question of their right so to partici pate, when Congress proceeded in the enactment of laws, after tho surrender of the last Rebel military forced It was de termined again, when the now pending amendments were proposed by Congress. If two-thirds of Congress, 'as now consti tuted, could lawfully propose thoseamend ments. then three-fourths of the States not excluded from representation in Con gress, form a sufficient majority to effect their lawful adoption. It was determin ed again by the formal sanction of both the great political parties, when Congresss by an almost unanimous vote, declared the rebellious States without the right of sepresentation in the Electoral College in lfeGI. We ought to go on resolutely and rap idly, with all measures deemed necessary to the future safety of the country, so that all parts of it may, at the earliest day, be restored to just and equal political pri vileges. The annual report of Hon. Thomas II. Burrowes, Superintendent of the main tenance and education of the soldiers' or phans, will exhibit the present condition and the result thu3 far of that undertak ing. Nearly three thousand of the des titute children of the brave men who laid down their lives that the nation might live, are now 'not only comfortably pro vided for and guarded from temptation, but are receiving an education which will fit them to repay the care of the State. The appropriation made for this pur pose at the last session has been sufficient to meet all expenses of the financial year just closed. And I recommend whatever appropriation may be necessary to con tinue and perfect the system under which the schools are conducted. There can be no doubt that tho appro priation will be made. Where I to select any State interest which I would more warmly commend to your prompt atten tion and liberality than another, it would be this. Pennsylvauians are proud of it, and it lies near the hearts of all true man. Owing to their greater destitution and waut of information on the part of their relatives, the orphans of our colored sol diers may require some.special attention. Perhaps authority to the State Superin tendent to use, for a short time, the ser vices of an agent, to ascertaiu their num ber and claims, and bring them into the schools that may be provided or them, will be sufficient. The'whole number in the State is not large of whom a few have already been temporarily provided for. I recommend that provision be made for the maintenance of such of our sol diers as arc in proverty, and have been so maimed as to prevent them from securing a livelihood by their labor, by renting buildings at once, or such other means as you may deem wise and proper, until the arrangements proposed by tho National Government for theirsupportare complet ed. They are probably few in number, and it is due to the character of the Com monwealth that they should not remain in, or become inmates of poor-houses, or picK up a precarious subsistence by beg ging. Patriotic and charitable citizens have done much for them, but speedy and proper relief can only be given them by the systematic and continued benevo lence of the Commonwealth. The Legis lature can alone afford immediate relief to all of this class of our citizens, and, in thus exhibiting gratitude to heroic and faithful men who did much for the coun try, the burden will fall equally on all her people. 13y our existing laws, juries are selected ,Uv .1 : r i ..i . mo sucuu auu commissioners ot tne , respective counties. As tbso nflTi pa m frfl j generally of similar political affinities, the ; system has always been iu danger of be , jug abused for partisan purposes. Dur , ing the last six years it has been frequen j tly so abused in many of the counties. To secure, as far as possible, the ad ministration of equal justice hereafter, I recommend that jury commissioners shall be elected in each county, iu the same manner as inspectors of elections are chos en, each citizen voting for one jury com missioner, and the two persons having the highest number of votes to be the jury commissioners of the respective county, to perform the same duties, in the selec tion of jurors, that are now imposed upon the sheriff and county commissioners. It is impossible to provide, in all re spects, for the increasing interests of our people, by the enactment of general laws, but to a large extent it is practicable to relieve the Legislature from special legis lation which is demanded and oc.cupies so much of its sessions. Special legislation is generally passed witboutduc considera tion, much of it at the close of the tcs sioa, and is chiefly objectionable from the partiality with which powers and privile ges are conferred. v I again recommend the passage of gen eral laws, when it is at all practicable, and in this connection reeommeni the passage of a general law, regulating rail roads now existing and the incorporation of new companies, so that so far as possi ble there may be just uniformity in the franchises granted, and equal facilities af forded to the people of all sections of the Commonwealth. There are at this time, in the various prisons, a number of persons under sen tence of death, some of them for many years, and as it has become a custom that an incoming Governor should no issue a warrant of execution in cases unacted on by h'13 predecessor, it not unfreqently happens that in many cases, some of which are recent, while some punishment should be inflicted, that c death may appear to the Lxecutive to be too severe. I earnestly repeat my recommendation heretofore made, that provision be made for the reception of such persons into the penitentiaries, who may be pardoned on condition of remaiuing a limited time therein. I rc-appointed lion. C. H. Coburn, Superintendent of Common Schools, on the expiration of his term in June last, and he continued at the head of that de partment until the first of November, when he resigned, and I appointed Colonel J. P. Wickersham. .It is due to Mr. Co burn to say, that he fulfilled all the du ties of his office faithfully and efficiently. It appears from his report, that there were in the school years of 1SG3, 18G3 school districts in the State, 13,146 school., 16,141 teachers and 725,312 pu pils, with an average attendance of 478, OGG. The total cost of the school system, for the entire State, including taxes lev ied and State appropriation, wa3 for the year 18GG, S4,195,25S,57. The iucrease in the number of school districts was 26; in the number of schools, 222 ; in the number of children attending school, ,19, 932 ;.in tho average attendance at school, 13,915, and in the total cost of the sys tem, 5S1,020,02. I invite your attention to he valuable'suggestions made in hi3 report, and that of Colonel Wickersham,! and commend our system of public in-! struction to the continued fostering care of the Legislature. I herewith present thercports of Colo nel 1'. Jordan, Military Ageut of the State, at Washington ; of Colonel II. II. Gregg, Chief of Transportation ; of S. P. Bates, on military history of our volun teers; of trustees of tho Soldiers' Gettys burg National Cemetery ; of the proceed ings and ceremony of the return of the flags on tho Fourth of July, in the city of Philadelphia, and of Colonel James Wor rell, Commissioner appointed under au act relating to tho passage of fish in the Sus quehanna and invite your attentiou o tham, and the reports of Surveyor-General and Adjutant General. The agency at Washington should, in iny judgment, bo continued. It has prov ed very useful in all respecj3, ani espe dally to our volunteers ana tneir lamiiies. i-our mousauu u nuuu cu uuu u.us claims have passed through the Agency during the past year, and three hundred ' and eleven thouaud seven huudred and three dollars has been collected irom the' Government and transmitted to the claim ants fieo of charge. It will be uecessary to continue the of fice of Chief of Transportation, as there are unsettled accounts with railroad com panics and the National Government, and gons. A girl who waa poisoned with laud duties to be performed in the removal and anum iu England waa saved in this way, care of bodies of the dead, which require after all other re'medies had failed. it. An additional approjpriatiou will bo. required for this Department. j The German citizens of Nashville for- 1 earnestly recorumeud, in justiee to warded a magnificent and costly banquet the living and the dead, that our military to Mrs. Liucoln, at Springfield, Uliouis History be pushed forward vigorously, aul as a Christmas presaut. that money for that purpose be appropri ated. The trustees of the State Lunatic IIos pital represent that it is impossible for them to accommodate and care for the number of patients committed to them under the laws regulating admissions into the hospital, and earnestly recommend that provision be made for increased ac commodation. I need not say that the institution is carefully and economically managed, or to refer to the great good it has produced ; and that I cordially unite in the state ment and recommendations of the memo rial herewith presented. I invite your attention to the condition; of the Arsenal. It is too small unsafe as a depository for the large amount of valuable military material to be kept iu it, and is, in air respects, inconvenient and not adapted to its purposes. Much inconvenience was experienced during the war for want of sufficient room aud safety, and I recommend that ground be procured and a new and commodious arsenal be erected in or near the capital of the State. Since the adjournment of the Legisla ture I drew my .warrant on the Treasury for five thousand dollars, appropriated to the National Cemetery at Antietam, and appointed Major-General John II. Brooke trustee to 'represent the Stttc. Before the warrant was drawn I appointed Colo nel Wm. II. Blair and Captain J. Mer rill Linn, who examined the ground and made a full investigation, their report of which accompanies this message. It will be noticed that they report seven hundred and ninety-seven bodies of Pennsylvania ans that will be removed into the ceme tery and recommend an additional appro priation, in which I most cordially unite. I cannot close my last annual message without renewing the expression of grat itude to the freemen of the Commorr--wealth for the hearty approval with' -which they have cheered the labors of the Executive office. To have earned such approval by my official conduct dur- ing tne last six years must always De a source of pride to myself and children. Without the consciousness that I was en deavoring to deserve their approval, and without the hope that I should succeed in attaining it, I must have sunk under the responsibilities of my position. It was only a reliance on Divine Providence, and the activer resolute, hearty support of the people and their representatives, that en couraged me during the dark and terri ble crisis through which the country passed. I tried to do my duty to my country, and know I was at least faithful to lier in her deep distress, and I conceiv- ed that duty not to be limited to the merely putting of men into the field io suppress treason and rebellion, and main tain the national life, and doing of every thing in my power to sustain the unjust war forced upon-us. I felt also bound, so far as I could, to protect and promote the rights and comforts of our volunteers after they had left the State, to aid and relieve the sick and wounded, and to care for the transmission to their bereaved fam ilies of the precious bodies of the slain, and maintenance and education of their orphans as honored children of the coun- To have been the Chief Magistrate of this great Commonwealth, during the pe riod through which we have passed, and to have earned and maintaiued (if indeed I have dene so) the confidence and affec tion of her people and their representa tives, are quite enough to satisfy the high cst ambition, and in my retirement from tho high trust given me, I pray uod that the State may continue to grow in power and strength, and her people in prosper ity and happiness.

The old proverb that a fool and his money are soon parted, has seldom beea more forcibly illustrated than in the case of " Johnny Steele," lately the younsj prince of the Venango, l enn., oil region. His aunt, the widow McChntock, owner of the rich oil farm which bears her name, died ia lSGt, leaving her nephew, theu tweuty years old, 10,000 iu greenbacks, 50,000 in gold, and the farm, which yielded an average daily income $2,000. The young fellow, who had hitherto been well behaved, was ruined by his good jwe should rather say evil fortune, and plunged into all kinds of vice. He became a ready prey to gamblers, John Morrisey alone winning from him 100,000 in two nights. The largest estate can be ex hausted from its owner if only sufficiently lavish.and Johnny's property proved no ex ception to this rule. He squandered thou sands on wine and womcu; bought jew elry only to give them away, and having jspcnt is now onlj doorkeeper to a company of mjustrcls.
