The cvecuiiou T William .Murray and Frederick Myers for the murder cf (inttbardi Wahl took place in the jail yard at noou do-day The murder was com mitted on the evening cf Nov. 11.

They were convicted aud sentenced to be hang ed. Murray tavs ne was born in New-Haven in 1310. He is a cr peater by trade, aud has no relative living. He has steadily refused to have any spiritual adviser. He pro fesses to believe there is no hereafter, aud would have nothing to do with priests or preachers. 1 esterday he dismissed a priest, telling him that he would let him know when Le want eii bim. He spent last evening iu conversation with bis guards cn va rious topics, but not 03 the subject of he murder. lie retired about o'clock tiiis morning and slept sound iy uutil 7, when be arose and ate a nearly breakfast. Myers stated that he was born in Germany, aud isthir-ty-five yr ars old, this, tbe day cf his execution, being his birthday. He aiue to this country when eleven wars of age, aud is a harness-makci by trade. Since his conviction he Las devoted most of Lis time to re ligious reading, prayer, and media tion, and expressed a strong hope in Lis future happiuess. During la.-t night Le employed Lis inie iu reading his testament anil praying, retinn gat about 11 o'clock, aud bleeping well uutil 6 o'clock this morning. At 8 o'clock Father Beck. Lis spiritual adviser, visited him and administered the sacrament of the Catholic Church, after which he par took of a hearty breakfast. A strong ffori has been made by Ids counsel 10 hare his sentence commuted to imprisonment for life. A tiual hear ing was had before the Dourd ol Pardons oa Tue-dny last, whi n it iflused 10 commute tbeseuteuce. He received this intelligence with great composure, saying that he was pre pared to die. About 10:30 o'clock Father Rech returned to Myers' cell, and spent .he last hour and a half with him in devotional exercises. Murray seni Lis lime with hisguard and cell mate. Myers is said to have nude a ri,n lessiou this moruiug to Father Heck, a bicb is about the same as that made i.t bis counsel, with tbe addition ol bis real name of Myers. Murray Dug made no confession, so far as is known, but ptr.si.-ted in declaring his luuoceuee. A few minutes before 12 o'clock be men were taken to the jail yard by Sheiiff fiiife. Tbey mtuuted tbe ifallows with a firm step. Mvers was a&l onipanicd by his spiritual ad viser, and showed by his pallor that he realized the dreadful situation. Murray's demeanor was unchanged, j WLen asked if he bad anything to say, Murray replied "So." Myers expressed a hope iu a future life. The Sheriff then tonchrd the trigger, and the men fill. Murray's struggles ere soon at an end, but Myers' ere prolonged for some moments. I'Ll- bodies, tifur hanging for cigh ""ca minutes, were taken doaa aud place.! in coffins fur iniermcut.

Moreover, men who engage in these riots ere voters, and the tenure of the offices of those in authority depend in a larjre measure' upon the good will cf these turbu lent electors, and it is difficult to find an officer wno will fcarles-Iy and fully perform w hat he is legally re- quired to do. lie palters with bis duty until the tumult assumes pro portions that threaten the peace and ecurity cf the whole community. and then, unab'e to quell the disturb ance, petitions for tbe aid of the mil itary, and the btate is subjected to enormous expense t; subdue au in surrection that the ordinary pol'ce force of the county could readily have suppressed at its inception. Tbc local officers likewise alleci1 their inability to repress this turbu lent spirit, because citizens when summoned refuse to as-sst them Citizens fear to incur the enaiitv of the rioters, and unless tLe penalties that attach to their failure to assist the officers are inflicted, it is idle to expect them to perform this ungra cious and it raav be perilous dutv Thus we have ia these communities where this mob rule prevails cn un healthy moral public sentiment, that in the event of a disturbance permi's the officer to neglect his duty, refu.-es itself to nphold the law, and when an offender is arrested, connives at !he fraud that packs tbe jury-box with his sympathizers and friends. mnliinc n moi-t-pr-u i.f iiwii.n orwl 1 l.ri into merited reproach.

I recommend rho mnrtmpnt nf n l ini..irri.,., 1 the sheriff, whenever a riot cr disor" der is imminent, to apply to tbe court of his county, and upon the sworn certificate of said sheriff that said riot or disorder is tbrcateuing. then the said court to authorize the sberifT to organize a constabulary force sufficient to quell the disturb ance, and to maintain teem under hi direction and control until there i 0 longtr need for theirs 1 ices The force so mustered should lie paid and subsisted by the county, while on du ty, and armed by the State. A tu mult arising, the sheriff would then have an armed, paid and subsisted force to aid him in preserving order aud enforcing the process cf the court, witheut taking citizens sud denly from ".heir daily av.-citioti-i:n 1 perhaps ic ohing them in injury and loss. This armed body of men would also form a nucleus around which tbe law-abiding citizens could rally when the t'i-turbacce assumed more dangerous p0,)' rjons, and iney wouiu ieara to depend upon themselves and their officers in every emergency. It is proper that tbe ex pense shoul be borne by that portion of the commuuitv especially bcueGt- ed, and the county should be made to bear these burdens, end if their officer are held to a strict accounta bility they will not be likely to incur the 'Teat responsibility cf askimr this assistance from the court-.

The pceuuiary assistance extended by the S.a'e in the last two years to ihe National Guard, and the rigid inspections made of every company 111 the service, has wrought a Won derful improvement in the Condition of the force, and justifies the belief llr.it no body of citizen soldiery coin posed of men of finer physique and more Conversant wiih their du ties and discip'iue, will be present ai the Centennial than the troops w hich Pennsylvania will muster theic dur ing the corning summer.

A report of tbe Commission en trusted with the Geological Survey of tne State will be submitted to the Legislature, aud I respectfully ask your thoughtful atteutiou to ihe de tailed statements cf ibe progrets of this important work, and the practi cal suggestions to insure tbe success ful prosecution of the "labors of the Survey.

This course has been adopted by oth States with satisfactory results. Tbe propriety of having a full rep resentation of our mineral resources at the Centennial, need only be sug gested to impress you with its im poitance, aud the plan proposed by the Commission to make a proper and creditable display, will, I feel assured, meet with your favor and support. FISH. It is to be regretted that the labor.- of ihe Fish Commissioners have been, in some respects, almost fruit less, because the Legislature has left tbem to their unaided exertious to procure protection to the fish, while the various processes for supplying our livers are on trial. If authority is uot given to tbe commissioners to control the streams while their ex periments are in progress, it is mani festly unwise to coutiuue tbe work, however important or promising of great results it might be. Is it too late t discuss the practicability of re stocking rivers with Gsb, for that question has been absolved from doubt audits feasibility demonstrated iu other States where streams have beeu refilled wiih abundant supplies of choice fish cf various kinds. Are we uol then iudiffereut to au unfail ing source of cheap food when we neglect the manifold opportunities for Gsb culture in this State, aud is 11 not proper ibat we should make some efficieut and systematic effort in this direction, crelse forego all spasmodic endeavors that are practically use less aud afford us no enlightcumeul upon this imuortaut subject. 1 trust, bowever, tbut past legislation in this behalf will be supplemented with whatever is u cessary to make asul eieut lest cf fish culture ia Peuusvlva- n i a. I trauannt herewith a commuuiea lion, received tnrougn tne atate ie partmeut at Washington, from tbe British Minister, vvbereiu he states ' thai regulations have been adopted in Cauada to prulect and promote the increase cf Osh frequenting iu common the frontier waters of this couutry and tbe Dominion, and sug gests the importance of kindred legis lation on the subject ou the part of ihe State of Pennsylvania," to which I ask your atteutiou. BOARD OF PUBLIC CHARITIES. The public service has sustained a severe loss in the resignation of Hon George L. Harrison, the able aud efficient president of the B mrd of Public Charities. The brohd and humane views of Mr. Harrison aud the unremitted zeal aud energy w iib which he devoted himself lo the labors of the Board aud the faithful administration of its responsible iru-ts, have won for him the esteem of our citizens, und were alike honor able to himself and useful lo the pub lic. The vaeaucy in the Board was filled by the election of the Hon. G Dawson Coleman, whose experience aud charitable disposition eminently fit him for its duties, and give assur ance that neither the iuterests cf hu manity or lhe public will be over looked in the supervision lhal the Board will continue lo make of the various institutions ot the Stale. Ob servation shows that tbe investiga tions of the Board have been pro ductive of great good in securing for many unfortunates more consid erate treatment an 1 tbe correction cf some flagrant abuses that existed in ur jails and almshouses. Tbo pub lie spirit aud humanity of the geulle 111 en of tbe Board, and their benevo lent and disiuiere.-ied labors, entitle them to tbe gratitude of our people, and should command for their tag geSiiousyouir respectful consideration VAGRANCT. The public mind is becoming seri ously alarmed about the prevalence of vagrancy, aud some measures should be taken to regulate and re strain this propensity to live by beg ging and in idleness. There aie thousands of vagrants soliciting alius from day to day, who are unwilling to lab r aud are undeserving of sym pathy, and whom it is a mistaken and misplaced charity tj aid. Tbe man whose aufferiag is real aud is driven to common beggary to supply bis wants, will uot recoil from auv proposition to work and earn his bread, however bumble and arduous the labor to be performed. Would it uot bo well, therefore, to establish a registry to which all these vagraots or tramps should be made to resort, aod where a record of tbeir names, places cf residence aud appearance could be made, and wbere upon ap plication, if tbey were ia absolute waul, tbey could be assigued to some work upon the streets or roads, or some other necessury employment, in corapensation fjr tbe assistance they migbt receive. A failure to re port to this registry aud an applica tion to a residence for alms, should ubject the applicant to au imprison ment. S me restriction cf this kind must be imposed upou this beggar class, not only to abate what is fast becoming an intolerable nuisance, but to distinguish between tbe deserving 4Ld uudeserviag poor, aod as recent events iiave show u for the protection ut life aud properly.

Tbc tecoud, w bicb will embrace such cf tbe rolls as are extaut, and memoranda of the officer and soldiers from Pennsylva nia, w bo-served in tbe Bevoluiiooary war, has been delayed that il may be rendered more authentic by com pilation of such records as may be found in tbc Department of State and Pension Office at Washington, and in lhe archives of historical societies. The building containing tbe War Office at Washington was burned w iih all its records, by an accidental fire w hich occurred November 81b, 1S01). Cousequeutly tbe records which remained in the office of tbe Secretary are the only authentic me morial of the Pennsylvania soldiers who participated iu every battle of the Bevolutiou from lhe time tbey eu tered tbe trenches in frout of Boston, ia July, 1777, iueludiug tbe night at tack at Sbarou, Georgia, May 24, 172, uutil July, 1783, when tbe last IVnu.-ylvauia troops eiularked ou transport at James Island, South Carolina for Philadelphia. Tbe ma terials for one Volume embracing the documents relating to the "Whiskey Insurrection," are ready for the prim er, aud considerable progress made iu preparing remaluiug papers, cf which lhe act authorizes tbe publication. 1 be series cau probably be restricted to six volumes. SALARIES FOR C01NTV OFFICERS. By the provisions of section 5 of ibe 11th article cf the new Constitu tion, "iu counties containing over cue huudted aud fifty thousaud inhabit ants, all county officers shall be paid by salary, aud the salary of auv such officer aud bis cleiks heretofore paid by fees shall not exceed the aggre gate amount of fees earned during his term and collected by or for him." The Legislature passed a bill at the session of 1874 to make the law conform to this requirement, but as some of its provisions were at vari ance with the Constitution, it did not receive Exesutive appro-val. Ii is to be hoped that at ibis session of the Legislature an act to meet the objec tions will be framed aud become a law. There is grave and reasonable complaint made about the euormoiis amounts received in fees bv the oc cupants of some of tbe offices iu our larger cities, and it is time ihese revenues should be diverted into tbe coffers of tbe people, aud not be made to enrich the few whose fortune it may be to possess them. The cou-te.- for these offices, ou account of (heir emoluments, are, moreover, a fruitful source of the evils that at tend upon nominations and elections, aud have a tendency to degrade and demoralize our politics. It is the part cf wisdom and economy, there fore, and in the interest of good gov erumeut that a change in this regard should be speedily made. In any measure you may adopt, however, it should be remembered that these offices are trusts of great respousi bility, and that the salaries paid should be commensurate with tbe duties and aceouuiabiliiy of the iu cumbeuts. POLL TAX. Under existing laws, many of the couuties, cities aud towns cf tbe State impose a tax upon trades, oc cupaiious aud professions, the pay meut of w hich is necessary before a voter can exercise his elective fran chise. In other portions of the Sia;e ibis tax is s ligbt that it is only a uomtual qualification of the rights of the elector. I his inequality is pal pably unjust, aud tbe tax is often burdensome, aud small as it-may be, frequently prevents a laboring man from going lo tbe polls. There is no good reason why the right of suffrage in one cuumy should be uiteuded with greater burdens than iu auother. aud oa tbe coutrary, there seem. great injustice in such a regulation 1 renew therefore my suggestion of last year, that all the laws imposing taxes ou trades, occupations aud pro fessions be repealed, aud that a uni form poll-lux be imposed, aud that this tax be u.ade so reasonable, that its pay meut w ill be withiu tbe ability ot every man in tbe Slate. BOUNDARY LINES. The New York Legislature, by au act passed May 20, 1S75, authorized tbe Regents of lhe University of New York, to resume the work of exami nation as to tbe true location of tbe monuments which mark the several boundaries cf lhe Stale, aud iu con nection with lhe authorities of Pent. sylvauia. to replace any monumens wbieti have become dilapidated or b-'en removed cn the bouudary line of the two States, and I respecifully recommend that authority be given to apimiut commissioners te act in con junction with those cf New York, and that a suitable appropriation be made, so that the necessary steps can be taken to accomplish the verv proper object indicated in the above act.

The length f life accorled to the venerable Horace Binney is seldom allotted to man, aud still more rarely is is accompanied to a ripe old age wiih the vigor and graces of intellect that attended upon this great lawyer to tbe very close of his long ahd use ful career. Avoiding public affairs except when duty or patriotism spe cially evoked his interference, the experience of Mr. Binney illustrated tbe power aud beauty of an unblem ished private life, and tbe independ ence, and it may almost be said grandeur, of an unbroken, distiu guisned aud honorable career ai the bar. To this venerated jurist, who dedicated all bis time and energy with pingleuess cf purpose lo tbe du ties cf bis profession, the bar cf Phil adelphia is indebted for au example luat helped to give il the character aod reputation it maiutaius, aud it was fining that its most respected leaders should bow with sorrow w hen in August last they followed to bis grave this aged lawyer, whose mind has left its impress for almost a ceu tury iu every step of the progress of jurisprudence iu i-eutisv ivauia. SAMUEL E. DIMWCK. In Oe'.obcr last ihe mortal remains of the late Attorney General, Samuel E. Dinimiek, were reverently laid in the little cemetery at II me.-dale. Three years ago tbe character, in tegrity aud recognized legal abilities ot this lamtn.ed man designated bim for tbe important p isiiion which he tilled with so much dignity aud bouor, and the foil measure of popu larity he enjoyed at tbe lime of bis death showed bow satisfactorily be discharged its responsible duties. Generous, manly aud upright iu all tbe relations of life, aud -administering his high office with a stern and uucompromisiug fioelity to the inter ests of lhe State, the deceased At torney Geueral tempered bis decis ions with so much benevolence an i courtesy that it is difficult to say whether as man or official be was most beloved. Of delicate health, and suffering from tbe affliction that resulted in bis death, in response to what he heliev- a call to duy, Mr. Dimmick died while in attendance upou the Board of Pardons, where bis merciful dis position aud mature and correct judg ment were invaluable helps iu dis pensing justice. With the public grief that deplores his loss, I may be permitted to min gle my .private sorrow, tor while the Slate mourns for a just and incor ruptible officer, tho admiaist.atiou has beeu deprived of a wise and care ful counselor, and lhe Executive or a d Sinterested aud devoted friend. CONCLUSION. v' ith tbe year upon which we have just entered the Republic has had a ceutury of existence, a century wherein her foundations have beeu more solidly aud securely laid, and which has beeu crowded with the evidences of her progress iu science aud tbe useful arts, died wiih lhe proofs of her increased enlighten ment, benevolence aud humarity, aud marked by many aud durable proofs of her statesmanship aod ge nius. It is fitting, then, that our people should celebrate the centennial of the nation's birth, and tesiify tbeir grali ude for tbe benefits we have receiv ed. With our growth iu wealth and population, however, we should re-m- mber iucreased responsibilities have come, and that we can best show our appreciation cf our institu tions and tbeir privileges by conse crating ourselves to tbe work of re deeming them from the ills that beset tbem and keeping tbem intact and pure fir those who are to follow us. Tbe destiny of our great Slate may depend up u tbe directiou we may give legislation at. this session of the Assembly.

While about 1,000 children ere afendiug Sun day school in tbe basement of St. Mary's Catholic Church, yesterday, ihe draperies of tbe statue of the Virgin Mary took fire, aud a panic seizing tbem, they rushed to tbe door to eseape. The teachers prompt ly closed tbe doors, and the burning drapery being torn from tbe statue tbe fire was extinguished and the tbildren returned to tbeir exercises. Meanwhile tbe alarm of fire in tbe basement reached the congregation worshiping above, and with one ac cord the people rushed to two narrow d ors which open into the pirt-h. These were chi cked up in au instant, as were also tbc narrow s.uirwivs leading from the g tileries. Ma iy persons iu the galleries leaped from the windows to ito ground.
