The extraordinary expenditures, during
the war and sime its close, in payments
growing out of it by authority of acts of As
sembly, have amounted to upwards of five
millions of dollars, which, added to the ac
tual payment of the indebtedness of the
State, and money in the Treasury for that
purport, fchows the revenues, above the or
dinary expenditures, to have amounted to
$10,012,000, which would all have been ap
plied to the payment of the debt of the
Commonwealth in the last six years. A
careful attention to the revenues of the
Commonwealth, with such just and prudent
changes a may be required in the future,
and a wise economy in expenditure, will, iu
my judrnient, ensure the entire payment of
the pablio debt, within tne penoa or ntteen
years.
The time fixed for. the redemption of $23,
10S,626 24 of the indebtedness of the Com
monwealth having expired, I recommend
that provision Le made for its redemption,
hv making a new loan for that purpose, pay
able at such periods as the prospective rev
enues will justify.
I recur, with much satisfaction, to the
willow, prudence and economy of the iej
rexentatives of the people, in the manage
ment of the finances of the Commonwealth,
during the period of much embarrassment,
uncertainty and distress, and congratulate
yoi and them oh the near approach of the
tntire liquidation of the public debt.
Since my last Annual Message, I have
drawn from the Treasury, two thousand dol
lars of the fund placed in the hands of the
Governor tor secret service and other extra
ordinary expenses, which I have expended,
in payment of my personal staff, and for
other purposes, as heretofore, except five
hundred and sixty-three dollars and forty
eight cents which I have returned to the
Treasury.
I present, for your consideration, the.
amendments to the Constitution of the U
liited States, proposed to the Legislatures of
the several States by a resolution of both
House of Congress, passed on the 16th day
f June last. I was glad that it was possi
ble, without delaying the final adoption of
these amendments, to ascertain the opinion
of our people upon them, at the general
election, ia October last. By the election
of a large majority of members openly fa
voring and advocating the amendments, that
opinion seems to me to have been abundant
ly expressed. Indeed, the amendments are
so moderate and reasonable in their charac
ter, that it would have been astonishing if
the people had failed to approve them.
That every person, born in the United States,
ad tree, whether Ty. birth or manumission,
i" citizen of the United States, and that
no State has a right to abridge the privileges
of citizens of the United States these are
principles which were never seriously doubt
ed anywhere, until after the insane crusade
in favor of slavery had been for some time
io progress. What is called the decision of
the Supreme Court of the United States,in
the Dred Scott case, has made it expedient
nd proper to re-assert these vital principles
io an authoritative manner, and this is done
in the first clause of the proposed 'amend
ments. The right of prescribing the qualifications
of voters is exercised by the respectiveStates,
under the Constitution of 1789 ; three-fif ths
of the slaves were counted in ascertaining
the representative population of the several
States. The amendment to the Constitu
tion abolished slavery iu all the States and
Territories. Though it was formerly other
wise in most, if not all, -of the old Southern
States, yet for many years past free negroes
have not, in any of these, been permitted to
'ote. At present, therefore, tne late slave
States would be entitled to count the whole
of their former slave population, as a basis
'or representation, instead of three fifths
thereof. That is to say, they would have in
the existing ratio about twenty more mem
bers of Congress than they had before sla
very was abolished,and the free States would
lose the same number, making a difference
01 about forty members of Congress, or,
one sixth of the whole body. In other
words, the treason f the rebellious States,
tha suppression' of winch has cost us so ma
y hundreds of thousand of precious lives,
and to many thousands of millions of treas
ftn . "UefDQte, $825 00,

Domertie ereditori' certificates, 26 65 r!
.: i aA in. Qfl! futsX public debt Ueo. i,
ure, would be rewarded, by giving them a
vast increase of- political power. This ab
surdity, the second clause of the proposed
amendments, designs to prevent.by the just,
equal and moderate provision, that in fu
ture, the representative population of each
State shall be ascertained by making a pro-
i)ortionate deduction from the whole popu
ation thereof, if its laws exclude from the
privilege of voting, any male citizens, not
criminals', of the age of twenty-one years.
I have yet to learn that any plausible objecr
tion 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 offices,civ
il and military, of the United States, or of
any State, persons who, as functionaries of
the United States, or as Executive or Judi
cial officers of any State, have heretofore
sworn to support the Constitution of tt;e
United states, and afterwards violated their
oath by engaging in rebellion against the
same, unless Congress, by a vote of two
thirds, shall have removed the disability of
any such persons.
The fourth clause affirms the validity of
the debt of the United States, and prohib
its the assumption or payment of the rebel
debt, or of any claims for the loss or eman
cipation of anv slave.
The fifth clause provides that Congress
shall have power to enforce the provisions
of the other clauses by appropriate legisla
tion. . . . -
That these wise and moderate provisions
will meet the hearty approbation of the Le
gislature, I cannot doubt. If proposed by
two-thirds of each House of Congress and
ratified by three-fourths of the Legislatures
of the States, the Constitution provides
that they should stand as adopted amend
ments of that instrument.
A question has been raised whether the
States lately in rebellion, and not yet restor
ed to their privileges by Congress, are to be
counted on this vote in other words, wheth
er those who have rebelled and been sub
dued shall be entitled to a potential voice in
the question of the guarantees to be requir
ed of them for future obedience to the laws.
So monstrous a proposition is, it appears to
me, not supported by the words or spirit of
the Constitution. The power to suppress
insurrection, includes the power of making
provision against its breakiug out afresh.
These States have made an unjust war upon
our Common Government and their Sister
States, and the power given by the Consti
tution to make war on our part, includes
the power to dictate, after our success, the
terms of peace and restoration.
The power of Congress to guarantee to
every State a Republican form of Govern
ment, would cover much more cogent action
than has yet been had.
The duty imposed upon Congress, to pro
vide and maintain republican governments
for the States, is to be accepted in the broad
est meaning of the term. It is not a mere
formal or unnecessary provision. The pow
er was conferred, and the duty enjoined, to
preserve free institutions .against all en
croachments, or the more violent element
of despotism and anarchy. And now that
treason has, by rebellion. subverted the gov
ernments of a number of States, forfeiting
for the people all the rights guaranteed by
the Constitution, including even those of
property and life, the work of restoration
for these States rests with the National Gov
ernment, and it should be faithfully and
fearlessly performed.
By their passage by Congress, and the
declaration of the people at the late elec
tions, the faith of the nation is pledged to
the amendments, and they will be fairly car
ried out, and their benefits given to the re
bellious States. But when the amendments
shall have passed into the organic law.should
the people lately in rebellion persist in their
rejection, and in continued disobedience.and
the obstruction of the execution of the na
tional laws, it will be an admonition to the
nation that the animus and force of treason
still exist among a people who enjoy none of
the privileges of the government, save of its
generous tolerence. With their rejection,
all hope of re-construetion, with the co-operation
of the rebellious States, on a basis
that would secure to the Republic the logi
cal 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 those States the char
acter of governments demanded by the Con
stitution. They are without lawful govern
ments they are without municipal law, and
without any claim to participate in the gov
ernment. On what principle of law can the
rebellious States complain, if after thoy have
rejected tho fair and magnanimous terms
upon which they are offered brotherhood
with us, and a participation in all the bles
sings of onr freedom, and they have refused,
if the government, in the exercise of its
powers, .should enter anew upon the work of
re-con struction at the. very foundation;
and then the necessity will be forced upon
us to disenrd all discrimination in favor of
the enemies ot our nationality, to give us
and them enduring freedom and impartial
justice. - ,
The Constitution has defined treason, and
has given express power to suppress insur
rection, 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 be contended by the
wildest partisan, that these States had a
right to be represented in Congress at a
time when they were carrying on open war a
gainst the government, or that Congress was
not then a lawful body, notwithstanding
their exclusion. How then have they re
gained the right of representation ? Surely
not by simply laying down their arms when
they could no longer hold them. The Uni
ted States have the right, and it is their du
ty, to exact such securities for future good
conduct as they may deem sufficient,, and
the offenders, from whom they are to be ex
acted, can have no right to participate in
our councils in the decision of the question
of what their punishment shall be.
. Practically, common sense determined the
question of their , right so to participate,
when Congress proceeded in the enactment
ot laws, after the surrender of the last reb
el military force. It was determined again,
when the now pending amendments were
proposed by Congress. If two-thirds of
Congress, as now constituted, could lawfully
propose tuose amendments, then three
fourths of the States, not excluded from
representation in Congress, form a sufficient
majority to ettect their lawlul adoption. It
was determined again by the formal sanc
tion of both the great political parties, when
Congress, by an almost unanimous vote, de
clared tho rebellious States without the right
of representation in the Electoral Colleze
in 1864.
We ought to go on resolutelv and raoid-
fy, with all measures deemed necessarv to
the future safety of the country, so that all
parts, of it may, at the earliest day, be re
stored to just and equal political privileges.
The annual report of Hon. Thomas H.
Burrowes, Superintendent of the mainte
nance and education of the soldier's orphans,
will exhibit the present condition and result
thus far of that undertaking. - Nearly three
thousand of the destitute children of the
brave men who laid down their lives that
the nation might live, are now not only com
fortably provided for and guarded from
temptation, but are receiving an education
which will fit them to re-pay the care of the
Jst,?te.
The appropriation made for this purpose,
at the last 'session, has been sufficient to
meet all expenses of the financial year just
closed. ' And I recommend whatever appro
priation may be necessary, to continue and
perfect the system under which the schools
are conducted.
There can be no doubt that the appropri
ation will be made. Were I to select auy
State interest which I would more warmly
commend to your prompt attention and lib
erality than another, it would be this. All
Pennsylvanians are proud of it, and it lies
near the hearts of all true men. .-
Owing to their greater destitution and
want 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 Superinten
dent, to use, for a short time, the services
of an agent, to ascertain their number and
cluiuisT- &ud bringthem into tha schooWtha.,
may be' provided for them, will be sufficient.
The whole number in the State is not large,
of whom a few have already been tempora
rily provided for.
T recommend that provisioo be made for
the maintenance of such of our soldiers as
are in poverty, and have been so maimed
as to prevent them from securing a liveli
hood T y their labor, by renting buildings at
once, or such other means as you may deem
wioe and proper, until the arrangements
proposed by the National Government for
tbeirsupport are completed. They are prob
ably few in number,and it is due to the char
acter of theCommonweulth,that they should
not remain in, or become the ir mates of, poor
houses, or pick up a precarious subsistence
by begging. Patriotic and charitable citi
zens have done much for them, but speedy
and proper relief can only be given them by
the systematic and continued benevolence of
the Commonwealth. The Legislature can a
lone afford immediate relief to all of this class
of our citizens, and in thus exhibiting grat
itude to heroic and faithful men, who did so
much for the country, the burden will tall e
qually on all her people.
By our existing laws, juries are selected by
the sheriff and commissioners of the respec
tive counties. As these officers are gener
ally of similar political affinities, the system
has always been in danger of being abused
for partisan purposes. During the last six
years, it has been frequently so abused, in
many of the counties. -v
To secure, as far ns possible, the adminis
tration of equal justice hereafter, I recom
mend that jury commissioners shall be elec
ted in each county, in the same manner as in
spectors of elections are chosen, each citizen
voting for one jury commissioner, and the
two persons having the highest number of
votes to be the jury commissioners of the re
spective county, to perform the same duties,
in the selection of jurors, that are now im
posed upon the sheriff and county commis
sioners. It is impossible to provide, in all respects
for the increasing and changing 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 occupies so
much of its sessions. Special legislation is
generally passed without due consideration,
much of it at the close of the session, and is
chiefly objectionable from the partiality with
which powers and privileges are conferred.
I again recommend the passage of gener
al laws, when it is at all practicable, and in
this connection, recommend the passage of a
general law, regulating railroads now exist
ing and the incorporation of new companies,
so that so fiar as possible there may be just
uniformity in the franchises granted, and e
qual facilities afforded to the people of all
sections of the commonwealth.
There are at this time, in the various pris
ons, a number of persons under sentence of
death, some of them for many years, and as
it has become a custom that an incoming
Governor should issue a warrant of execu
tion in cases unacted on by his predecessor,
it not unfrequcntly happens that in manyea
ses, some of which ere recent, while some
punishment should be inflicted, that of death
may appear to the Executive to be too severe.
I earnestly repeat my recommendation
heretofore made, that provision be made for
the reception of Euch persons into the peni
tentiaries, who may be pardoned on condi
tion of remaining a limited time therein.
I re-appointed Hon. C. R. Coburn, Su
pertendent of Common Schools, on the ex
piration of his last term in June last, and
he continued at the head of that Depart
ment until the first of November, when he
resigued, and I appointed Col. J. P. Wick
ersham. It is due to Mr. Coburn to say,
that he fulfilled all the duties of his office
taithfully and efficiently. It appears from
his report, that there were in the school year
of 1S65, 1,863 school districts iu the State ;
13,146 schools; 16,141 teachers, and 725,-
12 pupils, with an average attendance of
48,066. The total cost of the school sys
tem, for the entire State, including taxes
levied and State appropriation, was for the
year 1866, $4,195,258 57. The increase in
the number of school districts was 26 ; ia
the number of schools, 222 ; in the number
of children attend;.- school, 19,932: in the
average attendance St school, 18,945, and in
tne total cost ot the system, $581,020 02.
I invite your attention to the valuable sug
gestions made in his report, and that of Col.
Wiekersham, and commend our system of
public instruction to the continued fostering
care of the Legislature.
I herewith present the renorts of Colonel
F. Jordan, Militarv Agent of the State, at
Washington; of Col. II. H. Gregg, Chief
of Transportation ; of S. P. Bates, on Mil
itary History of our Volunteers : of trus
tees of the Soldiers' Gettysburg National
cemetery ; of the proceedings and ceremo
ny ot the return ot the flags, on the 4th of
July, in the eir ot Philadelphia, and ot
Col. James Worrell, commisioner aDDoint-
ed under an act relating to the passage of
fish in the Susquehanna, and invite your at
tention to tliem, and t ue reports ot the "sur
veyor General and Adjutant General. - - l
The Agency at Washington should, in my
judgment, be continued. Jt has proved
very useful in all respects, and especially to
our volunteers and their families.
Four thousand six hundred and ninety
claims have passed through the Agency du
ring the past year, and three hundred and
eleven thousand seven hundred and three
dollars have been collected from the Gov
ernment and transmitted to the claimants
free of charge.
It will be necessary to continue the office
of Chief of Transportation, as there are un
settled accounts wi.th railroad companies and
the National Government, and duties to be
performed in the removal and care of bodies
of the dead, which require it. An addi
tional appropriation will be required for this
Department.
living and the dead, that our military histo
ry be pushed forward vigorously, and that
money for that purpose be appropriated.
The trustees of t he State Lunatic hospital
represent that it is impossible for them to
accommodate and care for the number ot
patients committed to them under the laws
regulating admissions into the hospital, and
earnestly recommend that provision be made
for increased accommodation.
I need not say that the institution is care
fully and economically managed, or to refer
to the great good it has produced ; and that
I cordially unite in the statement and re
commendations of the memorial herewith
present ed..
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 ma
terial to be kept in it, and is, in all respects,
inconvenient aud not adapted to its pur
poses. Much Inconvenience was experienced du
ring the war for want of sufficient room and
safety, aud I reeommend that ground be
procured and a new and commodious arsen
al be erected in or near the Capital of the
State.
Since the adjournment of the Legislature
I drew my warrant on the Treasury for five
thousand dollars, appropriated to the Na
tional Cemetery at Antietam, and appoint
ed Major General John 11. Brooke, trustee
to represent the State. Before the warrant
was drawn I appointed Col. Win. II. Blair
and Capt. J. Merrell Linn, who examined
the ground and made a full investigation,
their report of which accompanies this mes
sage. It will be noticed that they report
seven hundred and ninety-seven bodies of
Pennsylvanians that will be removed into
the Cemetery, and recommend an addition
al appropriation, in which I most cordially
unite.
I cannot close my last Annual Message,
without renewing the expression of my grat
itude to the freemen of the Commonwealth,
for the hearty approval with which they
have cheered the labors of the Executive Of
fice. To have earned such approval by my
official conduct, during the last six years,
must always be a source of pride to myseit
and children. Without the consciousness
that I was endeavoring to deserve their ap
proval, and without the hope that I should
succeed in attaining it, I must have sunk
under the responsibilities of my position.
It was onlv a reliance on Divine Providence,
and the active, resolute, hearty support and
zeal of the people.and their representatives,
that encouraged me during the dark and ter
rible crisis through which the country has
passed. I tried to do my duty to my coun
try, and know I was at least faithful to her
in her deep distress, and I conceived that
duty not to be limited to the merely putting
of men into the field to suppress treason and
rebellion, and maintain the national life,and
doing of everything in my power to sustain
the just war forced upon us. I felt also
bound, so far as I could, to protect and pro
mote the rights and comforts of our volun
teers, after they had left the State, to aid
and relieve tho sick and wounded, and to
care for the transmission, to their bereaved
families, of the precious bodies of the slain,
and the maintenance and education of their
orphans as honored children of the country.
t v it. m,:f HTxriatrate of this
great Commonwealth, during the penoa i
through which we have passed, and to have
earned and maintained (if indeed 1 have
done bo) the confidence and affection of her
people and their representatives, are quite
enough to satisfy the highest ambition, and
in my retirement from the high trust given
me, I pray God that the State may continue
to grow in power and strength, and her peo
ple in prosperity and happiness.
