'V- s Massachusetts, that shall have snpervijion and control over all companies allowed to transact business within this State, feucli enactment is required for the security of our citizens. Millions of dollars are paid out by them annually for insurance much oi it under such circumstances as to render it im possible for a private individual to know whether the coturaay to which he pays is, or is hot reliable. Careful supervisory by a superintendent appointed by law, and pub lished reports of the same, under outh, would prevent much loss and fraud. ' The security of tho companies themselves require an Insurance Department. Tne people demand protection from igaorance, fraud and insolvency'. Consulting the in surance journals, wc find that as a general thing, Pennsylvania' insurance companies are acquiring an unenviable reputation abroad, affecting the honor and good name of the State. The great purpose of the Eroposed department, should be protection. lut in connection with it there must be fees sufficient to cover all its legitimate expenses and prevent its becoming a burthen to the Commonwealth. GAS. ' Complaints lave been laid before me by the consumers of as in our large cities, and from a sense of duty and respect to them I lay the matter before you. It isslated that they have no appeal or satisfactory mode of . redress lor alleged impositions oi me gas companies. To what extent the7e ccuu 'plaints are just it would be difficult to ascer tain, but that there is cause for some of them may properly be inferred from the number, intelligence and respectability of the parties by whom they are made; There is no reason why such a state of things Bhould continue to exist, whilst the people, through their representatives, have an easy and effectual remedy. The Legislature of a neighboring State has created the office of Inspectors of gas and gas metres. A bill might be enacted creating a similar position in any city in which it may be required in this State, and such arrangements made as would ensure justice to consumers and producers without being an expense to the State. STATUES FOB THE lAPITOX AT WA9HISGTO. Accompanying this will be found a circu lar, from numerous members of the Senate and Ilouse of Representatives of the United States relative to an act of Congress, passed July 2, 1864, inviting "each and all of the States to provide and lurnish statues, in marble or bronze, not exceeding two in num ber for each State, of deceased persons who have been citizens thcreof,and illustrious for their historic renown, or from distinguished civil or military services,, such as each State shall determine to be worthy of this nation al commemoration." The intention is to place the statues, when furnished, in the old hall of the House of Representatives in the Capitol or the U. States, which is set apart as ft hall of national statuary, for that purpose. Other States will doubtless avail themselves of this privilege, and Pennsylvania should not be behind them in thus commemorating the memory of her distinguished dead. PARIS EXHIBITION. " That Pennsylvania might be officially rep . resented in the '"Model American School House," at the "Universal Exposition of all Nations," I caused to be forwarded to the American Commissioner at Paris, in July last, a box-containing a large number of books and documents relative to the various departments of the Commonwealth with a request that they be placed in a prominent position, that visitors from distant lands might have opportunity to obtain from their pages a correct idea of the progress and im portance of the State. In acknowledging the receipt of this package the Commission er states that its contents were disposed of as requested.. And we are assured that the representation ot the extent,characieri-tie3, resources, progress aud privileges of our country, as made in the "bVrmer's Home," ' and "Free Common School House," attract ed crowds of curicus and interested visitors and would scatter wide and permanently, in distinct form, the doctrines of our Republic, and "result in a rich return to the United States tor the outlay, and a higher appreci ation, among the people of Europe, of the statutes and institutions of this land ot free dom aud equality." m POLICE VOIl THE MINING DISTRICTS. In conformity to an act of Assembly "for the better protection of person, property and life in the raining regions of this Com monwealth," approved April 12, 1.S67, and on the earnest appeal of many citizens, I appointed, immediately after that date, a marshal of police and a number of subordi nates, to give protection to the inhabitants of Schuylkill and Northumberland counties. In these counties, for a long time previous, crimes of heinous character were of frequent occurrence. Combinations of desperate men were formed to overawe the proprietors ami superintendents of the mines, and to control their management. Citizens were murder ed inlheir dwellings and on the roads; oth ers intimidated by threats, were driven from the counties; and a fetline of insecurity and terror very generally prevailed. 1 lie admin istrators of the law seemed powerless to suppress these outrages, or bring the guilty to punishment. Since the appointment of the new police force a remarkable change has taken place. All lawless combinations have leen dispersed, the persons com posing them having chieSy fled; not a single murder or atrocious crime is known to have been com mitted, an immense amount, of capital that had been withdrawn has returned, and the people enjoy the assurance of safety and protection. A similar state of affairs to that which existed in the counties named is said to prevail in some parts of the oil regions, ana applications have been made fir the benefit of the above named act. It is, there fore, recommended that it-?, provisions be extended to those, or to any other counties, upon the petition of a cuthcient number of citizens, who shall furnish good reasons for desiring their benefits. WEIGHTS, MEASURES, ETC. You will find among the papers I send you a uniform demical system of measures, weicrhtj!.' and currencies, including a new method of reckoning circles, time, and lon gitude, together with the action of the Leg islature of Maine in reference thereto. As the subject is one of general importance and interest.it is presented for your consideration. kish. Herewith will be found the report of Col. James Worrell, commissioner appointed un der the act of March CO, 1S6G, relative to the passage of fish in the Susquehanna river and its tributaries. PENITENTIARIES. From reports of the inspectors and direc ter, it will be eerthat, in . order to carry out tbe'State' Prison' system, additional ac commodations should be provided, either by erecting extensions to the present buildings, or an additional penitentiary. The appro priation made at the last hession for the e rection of a hospital in connection with the Western Penitentiary has not been expen ded, the board of inspectors being unwilling to select a site until it is determined by the Legislature whether or not additional wiugs or cells will be constructed. COUNTY- PRISONS. Unfavorable reports are made respecting many of the county prisons. Some of them are alleged to be insecure and otherwise un fit for the purposes intended; others are of insufficient cauacitv and so over-crowded as to endanger the ' health of the inmates ; while the management ana uiscipnuc w nearly all might, doubtless, be material.y im proved. The policy is not a sound one that crowds together, indiscriminately, chil dren and others convicted of their first and trifling offences, with men and women whose whole lives have been blackened with, crime. PRISON COMMISSIONERS. In accordance with an act of Assembly, approved on the 17th of April last, Messrs. Wiliaoi H. Armstrong, of Lycoming coun tv, Theodore II. Nevin, of Allegheny, Win. M. Watts, of Cumberland, and Alexander Henry and N. li. Browne, of Philadelphia, were appointed commissioners to inquire into the various systems ot prison discip line as practiced in other States aud coun tries.". These gentlemen entered upon their duties apd have visited various prisons,one of their number having gone to Europe for that purpose. The act, however, requiring them to report to this session of the Legisla ture does not allow them sufficient time to do iustice to the subject, and they ask an a mendment extending the cime for their re port until the session of 1569. Among the accompanying papers will be found a report by Mr. Mahloa II. Dick enson, who was appointed in conformity with an act of the last Legislature, "to visit, for philanthropic purpoMjs, the pris ons, and alms-houses in the various counties of the Commonwealth." Tb.3 report will be found interesting in all its details, aul the writer's suggestions deserving of espec ial attention- PARDONS. A report is herewith submitted of the pardons, remissions of fines,, forfeited re cognizance and death warrauts, issued by by me during the past year, with a tabular statement of those issued from 1791 to the present time. This report is made in ac cordance with a sense of duty to the Legis lature and the public who have a rit'ht to be informed in what manner and what ex -teut the Executiue clemoncy has been em ployed toward convicted criminals. It is al so due to the Executive himself that hi.s ac tion in this regard .should be understood. Un no subject has there been greater mis reresentation than on that which relates to the exercise of the pardoning power. Ac cusations have repeatedly been published of its abuse, and cases have been cited in proof i hereof, which were never even presented jto my notice. Criminals were liberated from pris on after sentence, and clamors raised iu re lation to their pardon in cases iu which no ap peal lor clemeucy had ever been made. U pon investigation, it has been ascertained that a custom prevails in the court of quarter ses sions ot Philadelphia, to re-consider, remit and change sentences, weeks and months af ter their delivery, and in this, much of the misrepresentation has originated. Durin.r the last year, as many convicts were thus liberate 1 from the Moyamcusing jail as were pardoned by me from all the pri. ons in the Commonwealth. Besides which a number more have had their terms of sentence re duced. How, or when, or under what au thority, this custom originated, it is impos sible to learn ; but that it is liable to abuse, and is without the sanction of the law, seems evident. The sentence of a convict is a matter of grave importance, and should re ceive the most serious consideration before it is determined upon and delivered ; for when it has become a matter of record, the criminal passes beyond the jurisdiction ot the court, Jand there is no legal or constitu tional remedy, even for errors that may be committed, except through appeal to 'the Executive, it a judge can remit or shorten a sentence, he can increase it, and that is a power dangerous to allow any one to wield. And further, if it be lawful for the judge of c ne court to remit sentences at pleasure, it follows that judges of all other courts .should be invested with the same perogative; and it requires no argument to show to what a dangerous extent it might be used. Happi ly, the custom appears to be confined to the court named, as judges in other counties disclaim any such authority. Former Legislatures have had their at tention called to the fact that persons are now confined in our county prisons under sentence of death, some of them for many years, whose death warrants were never is sued, and towards whom the several Gov ernors, during whose term they were sen tenced, could not djseover-suthcient cause for the exercise of the pardoning power. The custom has been for each Govcri.or to docline issuing a death warrant which had been withheld by his predecessor. Hence, these convicts, sentenced to death, for'whose execution the previous Governors did not issue warrants, and whom, it is persunted they believed deserved a milder punish ment, must either be pardoned or remaiu prisoners for life. To remedy this the Gov ernor should be vested with authority to commute the death penalty in the cases on ly to which allusion has been made, to such a term of imprisonment as his judgment wou'd approve, and to lemove the convicts from the county jails to the penitentiaries. I earnestly invoke the blesssing of Al migh'y God upon your deliberations, and that He will prosper your exertions to pro mote the happiness of the people and the welfare of our beloved Commonwealth.

In Alabama, at the vole at the election for .nilnct a rrmvpnfirin in one citv where the Union element is well known to number more than six hundred white voters, a dep utation stood all day at the window and noted I the name ot every white man who voted. If he voted at all, he necessarily voted for a convention, and was thus identified with the Republican party. Every man thus i dentified was marked for persecution. If he were in trade his business was injured; il a mechanic or laboring man under the em ployment of others, his discharge immedi ately followed. The two leading lawyers of Paris have an :ma frnm filler nmfi'.ssion of about 30.'- i . i . . . i . . . - - 000 each, and have seven times as much bu siness as they can attend to.
