    would make a general revision of our Rev
sane Laws, with a view to their incraeaed
Productiveness. It ought to be observed;
that for a period of more than twenty:.
years, no material change has been made,
in the Revenue Laws of this Common.
wealth. Daring that time some Interests,
have grown into new imoortanne, snit
should be made to bear their just 'propor
tion of the public expenses, press equally
upon the property and employments of
our people.
Fa 1 ng such revision, I recommend to
the considerutioa o a t iLegislature, ,the
following taggesflotieVonhicted with the
subject:
1: companies in the
State which, in addition to the large min•
ing privileges, have the control of the
route bf transportation, by which alone
the _products of the mines of individuals
in their respective districts, can reach a
market. These companies thus enjoy
substantial monopolies, by means of which
they not only receive the fair means of
their own property, but are enabled to
make additional heavy, gains at tLe ex
pensesif iudividttals. In my opinion such
privileges ought neVer-to have been grant•
ed, but as they exist it appears to be jest
that the class of companies which enjoy
them, should pay therefor an additional
specific tax.
2. Very large sums are dne to the Com
monwealth for nnpatented lands. For
bearattecrolemeney, and liberality have
been is vain tried is the numerous at
tempts to procure the payment of at least
a partof ads debt from the larger portion
of those who are indebted on that account.
The continuance of this state of affairs is
unjust to the. Commonwealth and to the
vast majority of her people who have
honestly paid for their lands. It has be
come unendurable. I recommend that
the Legislature provide that the Surveyor
General shall file and record in the office
of the Court of Common Pleas of each
county, a description of the lands subject
to the lien of the Commonwealth for par
chase money, and a statement of the
amount of principal and interest now due
to the Commonwealth, together with the
patent fees on each tract and ten per cent.
on the amount so due for the labor and
coat of making and filing each statement,
and the aggregate amount thus stated, for
each tract, shall be held to be the amount
now due thereon to the Commonwealth,
which shall bear interest at the rate of 12
per cent. per annum, till paid, and shall
not be divested by any judicial or other
sale whatever. I also recommend the
adoption of a suggestion contained in the
Surveyor General's report that a specific
tax be laid on all nupatented lands.
3 By existing laws municipal corpora
Lions are required to deduct and pay into
the Treasury the tax on all loans contract
ed by them. It is believed that a large
addition would accrue to the revenue by
the extension of this provision to all coon.
ties and to all corporations private or pub
I recommend that it be so extended.
4. A tax on the gross receipts of alt
railroad and canal companies would, it is
believed,be productive and not oppressive.
Ltpon satisfactory reports, aceordi!.g to
law, made by Col. John A. Wright, I
have drawn my warrants for the delivery to
the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad Com
pany of another million et the bonds de
posited in the State Treasury. Four mil
lions of said bonds have therefore been
now delivered. There can be no reasona
ble doubt of the early completion of the
work, and, when completed, it is confi—
dently expected that the bonds held by the
State, secured on the road for $3,500,•
000, will become good interest paying se
curiti ea.
w most earnestly the reczmme❑
re. -o, :
present shamefully defective. Indeed, if
by a militia law is meant a law intended to
provide for so enrolling and organizing the
military force of the State that it may be
put into service when required. we may be
said to have no militia law. In each of
the last two years I have been obliged to
call out the militia, but in fact those who
obeyed the call were volunteers, and, with
some exceptions were wholly unorganized,
so that altruist in face of the enemy, time
had to be consumed in distributing the
men into companies end regiments, in
electing officers and in other preparations
tor effective organization.
In the report of the Adjutant General
will be found a list of the Pennsylvania
regiments, and a statement showing the
several armies and departments in which
they are now serving. In this connection,
I suggest the propriety of legislative au
thority being given for the preparation of a
history of each of our regiments and other
organizations, to be preserved among our
archives. The necessary documents ate
ceseable, and as they may in time
be lost o destroyed, the making of such a
record is I propose should not be deferred.
It is due alike to the living and to the
dead that this subject should be promptly
eared on.
I recommend that the proposed amend
manta to the Constitution, giving to citi
zone in the public service out of the State.
the right to vote, be passed promptly and
,submitted to a vote of the people at as
early a day as possible, so that such citi
zens may exercise their right to suffrage at
all future elections. This would be only
doing justice to the brave men who are
periling their lives in oar defence.
It is highly important that we should
replenish the mike of our regiments in the
field and supply- the places of those vol.
unteera whose terms will soon expire and
who may decline further service. I am
happy to say that a large proportion of
our regiments are re-enlisting, Efforts are
making by myself and by the people in
' various portions of the State to procure a
sufficient number of volunteers, and with
a promise of success, provided a reasona
ble time be allowed for the purpose.
Meanwhile persons professing to be officers
and sputa from some other States are
moat improperly endeavoring to seduce
our citizens into their i eervice by extrava
gent bounties and promises.
The 12th section of the act of 16th May,
1881, prohibits any volunteers from leav
ing the State without the authority of the
Governor, sand I now recommend the pas•
sage of a law imposing penalties by fine
and frosprininament on all individuals who
shall endeavor to procure or nidand assist
inprocuring any person in this State to
enlist in the volunteer service of any other
State. Nan of our counties and town
ship, haved their quotas at a large
I r ie
expense an in others they are in course
of doing the same by offers of liberal
bounties and provisions for the families of
volunteers, and it is not right that these
patriotic efforts should be embarrassed by
interference from beyond our bcrders, es
pecially as we cannot in these circum•
stances offer bounties by the State, with
out the injustice of compelling the conn•
ties and townships which have already
contributed largely in that way, to assist
in paring, by taxation, for the deficiency
of others.
1 feel it my duty to call your attention
to the pernicious practice of leaving many
bills to be hurried through at the close of
the session. Daring the last ten days of
the last session, 890 bills were presented
for my . signature, many of them of the
most important character. The whole
number of bills presented to me during
the session was 716. In consequence of
this habit not only are bills passed with
out an opportunity to either House for
a proper reconsideration of their provis
ions'
but the .E.secutivet is compelled
either to sign them without examination.
or to hold them over perhaps to the public
inconvenience. It may often happen that
a bill not approved by reason of a sin•
gle us clause might if there
were time, b epassed, omitting the ob
i''etiGnabre nro on. In connection

what the Legislature has determined after
mature consideration to to just and legiti
mate.
I refer to the Auditor General's and
State Treasurer's reports for the details.
of our financial affairs, and to the reportel
of the Surveyor General, Adjutant Gan. I
eral, Quartermaster General, Commissary
General, Surgeon General, Agent at
Washington. Chief of Transportation and
Telegraph Department, and Superintend-,
ant of Common Schools, in regard to
their several departments.
In May last it was believed from infer•
mation received, that General Lea intend•
led to invade this State. Communications
on the satject were immediately sent to
Washington, urging that preparations for
effective defence should not be delayed
Accordingly the War Department erected
two new military departments, viz The
Department of the Monongahela, inclad
ing that portion of the State lying west of
the mountains, to be commanded by Mej.
Gen. Brooks, and the Department of the
Susquehanna, comprising the remainder
of the State, and to be commanded by
elej. Gan. Couch.
Early in Jane, Maj. Gen. Conch arrived
at Harrisburg and assumed command of
his department, which he has since exer
cised with the soldier-like promptness,
energy end discretion which were to be
expected from his known character.
The rebels having actually entered the
State in some force, and the approach of
their whole army being imminent, the
President made a reqnisition for militia
from this and some of the neighboring
States, and several regiments fora New
York and New Jersey were promptly sent,
and our own volunteer militia began to as
semble, bat some embarrassments arising.
the President assented to a call by the
Executive of the State, which wee accord•
ingly made. Under these calls 5,166 of
the mats of Pennsylvania were assembled
in the Department of General Brooke,
and 81,422 in that of General Conch. To
give the details, or even a summary of
the operations which ensued, would be
impracticable within the limits of a mes
sage. It is unnecessary to do so, as I
have recommended the adoption of
measures for preserving the history of oar
several regiments aad other organizations,
and in that history the events to which I
have referred will be recorded. It is due,
however, to the men who came forward,
that I should say now that they made long
and laborious marches iu parts of this
and other Statea which had been plunder•
ed by the rebels, suffered great priva
time and were frequently in conflict with
the enemy; And on all occasions acted in
obedience to military discipline and or
dare, and with courage and endurance.
Some of the militia caned oat in 1862,
and in 1863, were killed and others disa
bled. le all these cues, where there ate
no laws far the relief of these men or their
familes, I recommend the enactment of a
law for that purpose.
The campaign ou our soil was closed by
the victory of Gettysburg, gained by the
veteran Army of the Potomac, under the
o certerlierrea - kniftrefee
their aocuetomed valor and endurance in
the conflict, and in the forced and rapid
marches which immediately preceded it.
. Under Divine Providence, to them and
to the military genius and unsurpassed
energy of General Meade, and the prompt•
ness and self-sacrificing gallantry of Gen•
eral Reynolds, we are indebted for success
on that bloody field.
We are proud to claim Generals Meade
and Reynolds as eons of our own Penneyl.
The first lives to sejoy the most precious
of all rewards, the grateful appreciation of
his countrymen. The latter fell in the
very front of the battle, and we can only
pay homage to his memory. Whatever
honors have baeEk at any time devised to
commemorate the virtues of a patriot—of
a true, fearless, loyal citizen and soldier,
he bee abundantly deserved.
His surviving companions in arms claim
tne right, of themselves erecting a moon•
ment to him on the field on which he tell,
and it would not he well to interfere with
their pious intention. Bat I hope that the
Legislature will place upon the records of
the State tome appropriate testimony of
the public gratitude to him and his Bur
lining commander.
It would be unjust to .omit referring
again to the loyal spirit of oar people,
which has been evinced in every mode
since this war commenced. Not only have
they sent 277,409 men for the general sad
special service of the Government, and
supported with cheerfulness the burdens
of taxation, but our storehouses and de
pots have literally overflowed with corn
forts and necessaries, spontaneously con
tributed by them, under the active care of
thousands of our women, (faithful unto
death,) for the sick and wounded and pris•
oilers, as well as for our armies in the
field. Their patriotic benevolence seems
to be inexhaustible. To every new call,
the response becomes more end more
I liberal. When intelligence was received
of the barbarian starvation of our prison•
1 era in Richmond, the garners of the whole
1 State were instantly thrown open, and
1 before any similar movement pad been
made elsewhere, I was already employed
on behalf of our people in efforts to Be.

lines of the abundant supplies provided
for the relief of our suffering brethren,
1 Those of oar citizens who 'have fallen
into the habit of disparaging our great
Commonwealth and the unsurpassed ef•
forts of her - people should blush when
they look on this picture.
That this unnatural rebellion may be
speedily and effectually crushed, we lie all
under the obligation of the one para•
mount duty, that of vigorously supporting
our Government in its measures to that
end. To the full extent of my official and
individual ability, it shall be supported,
and I heartily rely on your co-operation.
I am ready for all proper measures to
strengthen its arms, to encourage its up
holders, to stimulate by public liberality
to themselves and their families, the men
who give to is their personal service, and
in every mode to invigorate its action.
We are fighting the great battle of
God t of truth, of right, of liberty. The
Almighty has no attribute that can favor
our savage and degenerate enemies. No
people can submit to territorial dismem
berment without becoming contemptible
in its own eyes and in those of the world.
But it is not only against territorial die
memberment that we are struggling, but
-1 against the destruction of the very ground.
work of our whole political system.
The ultimate question truly at issue is
the possibility of the permanent existence
of a powerful Republic. That is the ques
tion to be now solved, and by the bless
ing of Gad we mean that it shall not be
our fault if it be not solved favorably.
We have, during the past year, made
mighty strides towards each a solution,
and to all human appearance we approach
its completion, but whatever reverses may
happen, whatever blood.and treasure may
be necessary re will rinnain the inexo•
rable determination of our people to fight
out this thing to the end, to preserve and
perpetuate this Union. They have sworn
that not one star shall be reR from the
constellation, nor its clustered brightness
be dimmed by treason and savagery, and

OLD ABE RE•NOMIAATED.
Wothr.m. PHILLIPS, the highest Abo
Lion authority, more than a year ago,
announced that the Administration at
Washington, was but a committee to en•
perintend the next Presidential election.
In this they were ably seconded by Con•
greesico committees, whose sole business
it was to kill off, by ingenious detraction,
every rising 11.5.13 :n the army, who prom
ised to be a favorite with the people.
FREMoNT, a pet or the radicals, stood in
the way of Lit.cntri, and he was driven
into involuntary retirement. In the inner
circle the pathfinder was the favorite;
ander his genius that of Ltsooues stood
rebuked, as MARE ANTONY'S was by CEA
&LS'S. Ile was the pioneer in the busi•
ness of issuing emancipation proclama
tions: he was fully a year in advance of
the Administration in converting a war for
the maintenance of our Government, iato
one for negro emancipation. He stood
high, therefore in Abolition estimation,
and consequently the committee at
Washington must get rid of him, and they
did. He, who, while commanding in St.
Louis, was the idol of the Radicals, seems
almost entirely forgotten. The power of
the Administration was too great for him
to contend with.
In the person of Gen. MCCLELL.I2I the
Administration saw another rising man;
One who, llDlikt3 FREMONT, was not the
favorite of the fanatics, but who was the
hope of all wilo were anxious for the
re-union of the States. He was, too, the
idol of the army of the Potomac, and the
acknowledged genius of the war by all
his contemporaries. Thu committee laid
their snares for him; and, although they
succee(hd in displacing him from the
comma:id u: the army, they have not, with
all their slander, succeeded in supplant.
ing him in the affections of the people. It
is pretty clear, however, that in the Abo
lition raulis the committee have succeeded
in killing cff all dangerous rivals. OCCar
sionally there is some allusion made to
but this is by
ions for a change. ABe and his committee
have control of the machinery of the
party, and thoy appear to keep it in
smooth running order, and no wonder.
With an army of a million of men, and
the control cf money enough to make
one's head ache in trying to comprehend
the amount, beside hundreds of thousands
civil officers, whose bread depends upon
the Administration, it would be strange
indeed if the committee could not easily
control the action of its own party. Ac
cordingly, we find that the first Abolition
Stale CoLvention of this year—that of
New Hampshire, has declared nuani•
monsly for the re election of Mr. LINCOLN.
This unanimous expression of the Aboli•
tioniets of New Hampshire, is, we pre•
Rinse, but indicative of that ot all New
England, which section is certain to con
trol the proceedings of its entire party.
In addition to this, tee see that Mr. AR
NOLD, representative from the Chicago
district in Congress, intimated,,the other
day is a speech, that it would be pre—

cheated out of another nomination and
election, his virtues would

We may therefore conclude that Presi
dent LINCOLN will be re nominated, and
and we are glad of it. We are anxious
to have him in the field instead of some
new man without a record. The people
of the country aro watching LINCOLN and
his war for negro emancipation, and we
are desirous of trying hi rn and his meas—
ures before the people's popular tribunal.
A FAIR PROPOSITION.
Hon. HIESTIM CLYMER, Senator from
Berka ccunty, made the following propo•
sition in his place en Wednesday last, in
the Senate of this State. The attitude of
the Democratic side of the chamber com
mands the respect and admiration of all
who have witnessed the proceedings thus
far, and cannot fail to receive the endorse
ment of the people. The following is the
proposition which was refused by the
other side :
Mr. CLYMER obtained leave of the Senate
to make a statement, as follows :
It is perfectly evident, sir, that as this
Senate is now constituted it will be impos
sible to effect an organization. We are
likely to remain here at this rate till the
dog days. That is neither desirable on
the score of personal convenience or pub
lic policy. No man can he more anxious
than the Senators with whom I have the
honor to act politically iu bringing this
state of affairs to some amicable condo
aion. We are prepared therefore, sir, to
say to this Senate deliberately that for the
purpose of effecting an organization, and
in order that the legislation of the State
may proceed, we are willing to tender to
the other side of this chamber as a com
promise of the difficalties existing be
tweet' us, this arrangment: That they
shall select, first, any office within the
gift of this Senate, we to select the second,
they the third and so on to the end of the
list. We make this offer, trusting that its
fairness will commend it to the. judg•
ment of this Senate, as it certainly will
commend itself to the judgment of
the people of this Stat©. We are
here 16 to 18 on this floor. It is
no fault of this side of the Chamber that
such a state of affairs exists. It is true
that one Senator is absent. It is true, if
we are to believe the organs of the Repub
lican p ar ty, if we are to believe Senators
on this floor and officers of this Senate,
that Major Wens is no looser a mem
ber of this body, having resigned weeks
ago. If these statem,eata are true, that
gentleman is no 'longer a member of the
Senate of PeLusylvania. And I hold that
it was the duty of these who controlled
the affairs of this Senate who were its
officers, to have ,-ordered aiY election,, an&
to WA% kind hiiiineeessor here; and if we
effect no organisation under present air
ennistances the'responeibility must lie up
on them.
Now, sir, for the sake of arriving et e;
just and amicable arrangement, we have
offered the proposition I have stated. I
trust that for the sake of the interests of
the State, the proposition will be accept

CLEVELAND AND PITINIIIIRGH R. R.
We extract the following from the mon
ey article of the New York World of
Thursday : At a meeting held td-clay by
the Cleveland and Pittsburgh Company
there were some strange developments of
an unpleasant nature to the holders of that
stock. It seems that the company has
only $176,000 in cash, instead of $876,000,
and that the arrangements and accounts
with the Pittsburgh and Fort Wayne
road are so different in their results
from what was expected that serious
complications are likely to arise from
the action of dissatisfied stockholders.
Enough is known to make it certain that
the Cleveland and Pittsburgh is not only
not in a condition to declare any extra
dividend, but it is also suspected that a
thorough investigation of the accounts
may develop the fact that the manage
ment have been adopting HUDSON'S (the
British railway king,) expedient tor "ma
king things pleasant," namely, by declar
ing dividends out of capital, instead of
profits.
