Kirtsza:—l became afflicted with Piles about twenty roars ago, and every year they were growing worse, so a' to trouble me ve ry much. to much so at times as ts us fit me for work. Some Imes I was so bad, that I could not do anything on account of them, they came out on me as huge as a hickory nut. I had tried a groat deal of medicine for thorn- I used to buy and take what ever I could hear of or read of, in circulate and pamphlea that fell in my way, bat I could not get cured, sometimes they would do me some good for:a little while, but afterwards they would return again as bad as ever. I also applied to two Doctors, who viiited me at my 'house and gave me some medicine but it would not do. I could not get well. Over a year ago, I got.en advertisement of tour Lindsey's Blood- Sissiotor, made by yourself—when you gold it to me you told me one bottle would nut cure me. arid that my whole astern would have to be re newed by the medioine before I got well. I bought ono bottle and took it home with me and used it gesorling to your directions. I then call ed to SAO you again, when you raid I could not expect much benefit from one bottle, I bought it on, one bottle at a time, until I had used five bottles. After this quantity had been used, I was entirely well of the pilot:which had tortored me for; twenty years. In :Other respeots my health IS improved. and I am as well as could be expected for one of my age, being sixty years Past. I have been well now for six months, and the - e Is no appearance of a return of the disease I can do any kind of farming work now without the piles coming down and hurting me* I can pitch bay, chop wood, lift, or do any kind of work which before used to hurt me. When I found out your blood Searcher I kept on taking it un til ugat entirely well. I consider it my duty to make JOT ease known to the country for the ben efit ° fath ers who may be suffering as I was, and do not know the value of your medicine. You may publish this if you like—l live in 11 - i.'kia. Ibleaship, and will be pleased to satisfy any one of the truth of this certificate I they wish to call on ELLIOTT DAVIE. December 24th.

Although our tinanees are still in a healthy condition, it is necessary to invite the serious attention of the Legislat,ure to the consideration of the means of main taining them unimpaired in futare. By the act of 12th June, 1840, it was pro• vided that the interest on the State loans should al wys be paid in specie or its equivalent, Ind that whenever the funds in the Treasury should be of less value than apacie, the difference in value should be ascertained and certified to the Gov ernor, who should thereupon issue his warrant to the agents or banks authorized to pay each interest on behalf of the Com monwealth, to allow such difference to parties receiving the interest, or at the op• Lion of the parties to pay the same in specie. By the act of 11th April, 1862, it was provided that for the purpose of paying in specie or its equivalent, all interest that should thereafter be due by the Common wealth, as required by the act of 12th June, 1840, the several banks who should avail themselves of the provisions of that act, (of 11th April, 1862,) and who should re fuse to redeem their notes in specie, on demand, at any time within ten days upon or after the time when such interest should become due, should thereafter, when re quired by the State Treasurer, by notice is writing, pay into the State Treasury, in proportion to the capital stock paid in of each bank their ratable proportion of snob premium for gold or its equivalent, as should have been actually paid by the State. By the act of the 30. h January, 1563, it was provided that the State Treasurer should exchange with the banks an amount of currency sufficient to pay the interest on the State debt falling due on the first days of February and August, 1868, for the same amount of - coin, and should give to the banks specie certificates of exchange, not transferable, pledging the faith of the State to return said coin in exchange for notes current at the time, on or before the first Monday of March,lB64, such certificates to bear interest at the rate of 2+ per cent. per annum. Under the provisions of the act of 1862 certain banks paid into the State Treasury $140,768 80 as an equivalent for coin for the payment of interest on the public debt. Under the act of 1868, specie certificates have been given to the banks, amounting in the whole to $1,968,904 97, which, with the accruing interest, will fall due on the first Monday of March next. As the provisions of this act were of a temporary character, the only acts now in force on the subject are those of 1840 and 1882, above mentioned, under which it will be the duty of the State authorities to pay the interest on the Ist February, 1864, and thereafter, in coin or its equivalent, and look to the banks that may be liable under the act of 1862 for reimbursement of the premium paid by the Common wealth. In the face of all difficulties, this Com monwealth, actuated by a sentiment which does its people honor, has hitherto paid its interest in coin or its equivalent. Existing circumstances make it necessa• ry to consider now the fair extent of her just obligations. The exienciee of the times have com• pelted the Government of the United States to issue large amounts of Treasury notes for circulation, which are not redeemable In coin, and which form the great mass of our circulating medium. It is our duty as a loyal State—it is our interest as a State whose welfare, and even safety, depend emphatically upon the ma. intenance of the credit and the success of the military operations of the general government—to do nothing to i pair i credit or embarrass its measure. On the contrary, we owe it to °creel, arid to our ' posterity to give an activeAppoittoits , efforts to quell the monstibus rebellion' whielt is still raging, and time'restdre peace to our distracted country. It is our own Government, and we could not, without gross indecency, attempt to refuse its currency in payment of taxes and other debts due to the-Commonwealth. In 1840 the case WU very different. The difficulties then arose from the suspension of specie payments by our State banks, more local and private corporations, and the State very properly by the act of that year, intended to provide against lose to its creditors byreason of such suspensions. An• exigency like the present °Mild not then have been foreseen by the Legislature, and it is to be inferred therefore that they could not have intended to provide for it. We derive our system of public loan from Europe, and the true extent of our obligation is to be asserNined by referring to the known esiablished practice of European governments prior to the dates when our loans were effected. I mean of course such of those governments as wen held to have maintained their national credit. .... ..... - 4 25 ... -.-- 215 It is believed'to have been the uniform practice of such governments to pay their interest in paper currency, however-de preciated daring a legalized suspension of specie permeate. An observable in stance of tide is afforded by the course of the Britieh-Government, which during twentrevflears, from 1707 to 1822 dur- ' ing which the bank was prohibited by law from paying out coin for any purpose, paid tha4siterest on its public debts in bank noteei. which during a great part of that time were at a heavy discount, sometimes amounting to 30 per cent. or thereabout, Their necessities then were , not greater than ours are now. Among ourselves, at the present time, Massachusetts (whose debt is believed to be very small) pays the interest in coin. Ohio and Indiana pay in currency. In New York it is not known what will be done. tier Legislature, by concurrent resolution, ordered the interest to be paid in coin to foreign stockholders, in April 4.314,964 0) 2 14'331 954.7 0 40 At the present rate of premium on gold, he sum necessary to pay on an amount sufficient to discharge the annual interest on the State debt would be more than $1,000,000, and to meet this, additional taxation to that extent would be unavoid able. The demands on the Treasury for other necessary purposes must probably be such as to render it imprudent to throw any part of this expenditure on the existing surplus. To borrow money from year to year to pay the interest on past loans would, of course, be wholly inad— missible. To leave the act of 1862 in force, and attempt to throw the payment of this large premium annually on the banks, would be not only flagrantly un just, hut quite impracticable. I recom— mend the whole subject to the careful and immediate coniuderation of the Legisla— ture. Some legislation ought to be had on it before the close of the present month. In my opinion the Common— wealth will have fulfilled her obligations by providing for the payment of her in. terest in the currency of the Government. If the Legielatnre eh think fit to con . necessary for that purpose. I must in passing observe that the plan adopted by one of the States of paying coin to foreign, and currency to domestic loan holders, appears to me to be wholly unwise, and founded on no legitimate principle. At the close of the last session, nine teen bills renewing the charters of cer tain banks for another period of five years were presented to me. Of these I have (for reasons which will be hereafter com municated,) withheld my signature from one and approved the remainder. I have been led to sign them by the cone dere tions that the banks of the Common• wealth pay a large revenue which the State can ill afford to lose, and that in the pr'sent condition of the country it would be impolitic to drive so much cap , ital out of active use or force it into new employments n 3 MO Ckl 109 00 951.617 0 V,,378.816 45 117,780 33 *39,46.596 73 If the National Banking system afford sufficient inducembitta, capitalswill volun tarily take that direction. It is proper to obearve that the charters of most of the banks in question expire at an early period, while in vonsequence of the in• vasion of the State, during the last sum mer, they could not have been reasonably expected to give the necessary notice of renewed applications for re-charter. I recommend an extension of the time during which the banks are now relieved from penalties for not paying their obli gations in coin. The increased expense of living invite attention to the salaries of our public officers. Those of the Secretary of the Commonwealth, Auditor General and State Treasurer, and of the Clerks in their employment are, in my opinion, too low, especially as the exigencies of the times have greatly enhanced the labors and re sponsibilities of all, and in the case:of the heads of those departments, enforce a constant attendance at Marrisbutg, which was not formerly required. Under the Act of 16th April, 1862, and its supplement passed 22nd April, 1808, the Adjutant General, Quartermaster General and Commissary General have been acting as the Board of Military Claims. They have, up to this time, ap proved claims to the amount of $166,• 416 81, and others have been already pre• sented to the farther amount of $882,- 120 29, which have not yet been acted on. Under the Act of 22nd April, 1863, (P. L. 629) the Court of Common Pleas, ap pointed three appraisers to ascertain the damage done in the counties on the South ern border by the militia called into ser vice in September, 1862; by the Anderson Cavalry in the same month, and by the Rebels in their raid on the 10th and 11th October, 1862. The Appraisers have not yet completed the performance of their duties. When their report shall have been made to the Court of Common Pleas and affirmed, in whole or in part by that court, it will be the duty of the Governor to claim the paymenie of the amounts from the Gen• eral Government, and on failure to secure the same, then to report to the next Legislature, recommending such action as he may deem just and proper. The expenses of the Transportation and Telegraph Department during the past year have been as follows: Paid (ont of approeriation made by Military Loan act of 1861) „VlB,BtB 87 Unpa'd (the appropriation bathe ex hausted) 15,764 79 Outstanding liabilities, astimated at 5,000 00 These expenses have been mainly in. curred in keeping up the necessary corres pondence of the military departments and in the transportation of sick and wounded and the dead bodies of our vol unteers, as will be seen by the report of the Chief of Transportation, herewith communicated. I recommend an appro priation to meet the-deficiency, and also to carry on the service of this department hereafter. By the thirteentluiection of the act of the 16th May, 1861, 'the BOW $20,000 was appropriated to be erpinia ed by the Governor for the compensation of such Persons as he might require to serve the :Commonwealth in the military - optimiza tion of the.

After the battle of Gettyaburg,in which loyal N olunteers from eighteen Statnerin eluding Pennsylvania, were engaged, 'it appeared to roe proper that all those States should un its in establishing a cem• e e:y on the spot, in which. their soldiers who had fallen in that conflict, should be honorably interred. I accordingly ap.- pointed David Wills, esq., of Gettysburg, my agent, and through him, a site, was purchaied at a cost of $2,475 87, and• the conveyance made to the Commonwenith. On communicating with the authorities of the other States, they all readily agreed to become parties to the arrangement, and on tte 19th day of November last, the cemetery was dedicated with,appropm ate ceremonies in the Jtresence...of ...the __. _ wilt, .0u eau other high officers, State and I‘ational. On the 19,1 day of December, o n the in. vitation of Mr. Wills, commissiouerarep• resenting the States interested, in the cemetry, met in Harrisburg and.epeed upon a plan for its improvement and care in the future, and the apportionment of the sum of money required, to the/several States, which is herewith communicated. The expenses attending the establish• merit of this cemetry, including the cost of the site and of removing tie bodies of the slain, have thus far amounted to $6,- 209 38, and an appropriation will be re• quired to pay these expenses, and to meet our portion of those attending its future maintenance. It will appear by the pro ceedings of the commissioners that their due proportion of the expenses alreadY incurred are to be refunded by ,the States on whose account they were made. It la just to say that Mr. Willis has discharged his delicate and important dillies with fidelity and to my entire satisfaction, The act for the relief of families'of vol• unteers in service may require-Bouie— vision. It is alleged that in setaeparts of the State the different counties' Will 'be aware of the fact, and will, be mint ready to make such further enactments as may be proper. I commend to the prompt attention 6f_ the Legislature the subject of the relief of poor orphans of our soldiers who - haVe given, or shall give their lives to the'oban try during this crisis. In my opinion, their maintenance and education should be provided for by the State . Failing other natural friends of ability to provide ~for them, they should be honorably received and fostered as children of the Common- wealth. The $5O 000 heretofore given by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, re ferred to in my last annual message, is still unappropriated, and I recommend that this sum, with such other insane as , the Legislature may think fit, be applied to this end, in such manner as may he thought moat expedient and effective In anticipation of the adoption - of atiore perfect system, I recommend-that provis ion be made for securing the admission of such children into existing educational establishments, to be there ot p thed; tared and instructed- at the publii:riek pense.
