On Y cdLffccev eveniiis Iiitt at a
caucus cf the Republican members oi
tbe Legislature, Hon. J. D Cameron
wss onanimcufly re-nominated for
U. S. Senstcr. This should, and we
bsv? no doubt does settle the matter
definitely. There were absent from
the caucus tweaty-Cre members, and
tris has encouraged the Democrats to
hope for and predict a fplit in tbe
Republican ranks. With wonderful
perspicacity the handful of Green
backers in tbe Legislature have
nominated Jude Agaew a their
candidate, and their futter partnts,
tbe Democrats, are predicting ibat be
will receive a considerable Republic
an vote, and thus prevent tbe elec
tion of Mr. Cameron. When it is
remembered tbat Judge Agnew, after
submitting bis claims to tbe last Re
publican State Convention, and failing
to recieve a Domination at its hands,
violated his implied pledge of honor,
to abide by the result, and accepted
anomiaatioa on the Greenback ticket,
thus severing his connection with
tbe party that bestowed upon him
all tbe public position be ever held,
tbe likelihood of Lis receiving Re
publican mpport can be readily esti
mated. Tbe Republican member,
el'.-ced ns such, who would cast bis
vote for him, weuld be guiliy of most
dauitable treachery to bis ' party.
Naturally there are members who
would prefer some other Republican
as the cacdidcte, bat the fct tbat
Mr. Cameron received tbe unani
mous vole of a caucus composed of
111 members, lea ves tbera no other
resource than to sustain him, or sever
their connection with the party that
elected them. Personal prejudices
and petty spleen has placed political
nonentities in tbe Senate from the Re
publican states of Wisconsin, Michi
gan and Illinois, and the Republicans
of this great state til! deeply avenge
the treason tbat would deprive them
of tbe fruits of tbe brilliant victory
won at the last election. We have
no appreheneioos however, of so un
toward aretult, as ootbiug could jus
tify a vote against Mr. Cameron after
bis nomination by such an immense
msj irity of tbe Republican member?.

Tbe muster roll of tbe Guard now

.The law of 187S, under which the

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
Tbe report of progress cf ibe
board cf Commissioner of tbe Sec
ond Geological Survey of Pennsylva
nia will be la'd befcre you. Tbe
present appropriation will carry them
to the cod of 1879, and sn additional
appropriation of $100,000 for 1880
and 18S1 will be required to complete
the work. A catalogue cf tbe large
collection of books and specimens
made by tbe surveyors dnriog tbe
progress of the work has been pub
lifhed, and I again invite your at
tention to the necessity of providing
for tbe exhibition and preservation of
there valuable scientific objects. Tbe
sorvey bas already cost tbe State
much more than tbe original esti
mates, but its thorough prosecution
to tbe end will give us a final survey,
upon the accuracy of which tbe busi
ness enterprise and scientific research
of future ages ran confidently rely. 1
shall therefore make no apology, even
in tbe present state of our finances,
for recommending tbe appropriations
necessary to complete tbe survey and
publish and preserve its results.
I have been furnished witb an ad
vanced copy ot '.he memorial of tbe
Engineers' Club of Philadelphia, and
citizens of Pennsylvania, to your
honorable bodies, praying for State
co-operation with tbe United States
Coaat Survey, in tbe geodetic sur
vey of tbe State, authorized by act of
Congress in 1S71. Under this law,
work was commenced in Pennsylva
nia in 1875, but owing to tbe limited
appropriations which tbe General
Government is able to divide ro rata
amongst tbe manr States now con
ductiog surveys, tbe work progresses
very slowly, aod may occupy twenty
or thirty years. Tbe amount of
State aid needed for surveying,
draughting, and publishing maps,
etc., is estimated at twenty five thou
sand dollars annually for five year
Although tbe opportunity ia one that
at some future time it rfly be well to
take advantage of, I cannot persuade
myself tbat at the present time it
would be prudent to undertake it on
so extensive a scale. But I think it
would be well to assist tbe United
Slates Coast Surver with tbe email
aaooiil appropriation of three thou
sand dollar at-ked for in the interest
of the Second Geological Survey and
the Land Department of tbe Office of
Internal Affairs, to dtermmd certain
important stations, line, and bound
aries.
THE NOBTntRM AND TVErTERS BOUND
ARIES.
Tbe northern boundary of the
Slate bas been traced, with the ex
ception of Gfieeu miles unexplored,
and same twenty miles still requiring
revision. Tbe work, for some time,
has been carried on at the cost of the
State of .New York, as tbe appropria
tion to meet the portion of the expen
ces properly falling upon Pennsylva
nia failed in tbe last Legislature, for
want of time. Tbe sum of cix thou
sand dollars will be required of Penn
sylvania to finish the work, and
equal;ze the expenditure of tbe two
Slates.
The full report cf this commission,
and also of llje one appointed under

FREMHT PISCRIMjIMAT.IONS '
The discussion of freight discrimi

therefor, a question cf law, and as

dustries, a principle of law. The
State alone can fix tbat principle, in
the broad and general way tbat will
hereafter govern the policy of those
industries. Individuals can only la

one, 6ecure ' individual rights; tbe
Slate cao at once, by tbi proceeding,
make efficacious tbe seventh section
of Article XVII of the Constitution,
and establish tbe jast and legal ha U

men everywhere, and of immense im
portance to Philadelphia and Puis

fruits of Pennsylvania's labor should

deeper interest to the people of Penn

prejudice against transporting cor
porations abuuld be proved to be un
founded and uiguat, or tbe causes
thereof be speedily and effectually re
moved. I have long been convinced that
the question of general governmental
supervision of inter state aod over
land Commerce, is pressing npon us,
and, while 1 did not think it my duty
to interfere, pendiug the atiemp: of
tbe parties to settle 'heir relations
by mutual agreement, or by legisla
tion, I bavo not hesitated to prompt
ly take advantage of the fiffet appeal
to tbe Executive, to secure, if poesi
blc, an authoritative and biodiug dec
laration by tbe highest judicial tribu
nal ot tbe Slate, of tbe duties aud ob
ligations of corporations, under the
provisions ot ibt Constitution.
MISCELLANEOUS
Among the numerous subjects tbat
will occupy your attention, I beg
leave to brefiy emphasize a few tbat
appear of more than ordinary import
ance. Tbe establishment of a State Board
of Health was urged id tbe message
of 1877, aud bnfly referred to io
tbat of last year. Tbe Medical So
ciety of tbe State of Pennsylvania
will again bring tbe matter to tbe at
tention of tbe Legislature. Tbe ex
perience of the past year h&3 shown
ibe desirableness of such a depart
ment to improve the hygienic condi
lion ot tbe people and insure aiaius:
epidemics. Second only to its po
lice duties, if not, indeed, a part of
them, in the obligation of govtru
ment to enforce tbe sanitary regula
tions necessary for tbe healtbfulness
of society. 1 hope you will not fail
to give tbe bill presented a favorable
consideration.
Complaints are frequently made at
tbe office of the Secretary of tbe
Commonwealth by judges, of tbe in
adequacy of tbe bonds for records of
deeds. As fixed in 1877, tbey are
wholly disproportionate to tbe pres
ent business of tbe office. They
should be increased to correspond
with the value ot the present records,
and with the bonds ot the other
county officers.
Tbe current wants of the State
Library absorb tbe greater part of
tbe nsnal appropriation, leaving very
little for tbe purchase of valuable
matter or (be preparation for refer
ence and preservation of original
manuscripts. The collection of doc
uments, pamphlet", book-4, paper
files, maps, and manuscripts concern
ing tbe history of Pennsylvania is
very pomplete. Witbin a short time
many valuable thjog3 relating to tbe
early history of the Commonwealth
were in tbe market, bat tbe librarian
had ov appropriation with wbicb to
buy them. An additional appropria
tion ought to be given to the librari
an, witb discretion to purchase such
valuable historical and rare literary
materials as may be offered from time
to time, to complete tbe record cf
tbe librarr. . -
Ibe fisb Commissioners nave

Cincinnati, O , Jan. 12. The
wharf was visited by thousands of
people to-day, in expectancy of a
break-up. Tow boats have broken
tbe ice all along tbe river front, and
tbe steamers' of tbe mall line bave ta
ken refuge ia the mouth of the Lickinir
river. : The ice is expected to move
before morning At Portsmouth the
ice moved yei-terday, smashing fie
C4al barges and sweepiogaway somj

break up occurred at three p. do.,
siokiog or teariag 1 ioso fifteen barges
and damaging the wbirftpat some
