On tie first page of to-day's paper will be fouud Gov. Geary's annual message. Al though it is a rather lengthy document, it Will be read with interest by alL The many interests of the Commonwealth are discuss ed in a truthf 1 and conscientious manner, and the facts set forth evince much labor and research on the part of the Governor. The financial condition cf the Comn.on wealtb presents a yery encouraging aspect. On December 1st, 1367, the State debt fun ded and unfunded, was $37,704,409 77, of which there has been paid during the year ending December . 1st, 1SG8, $4,417,403 64, leaving the present indebtedness of the Commonwealth $33,200,91 C, 1 3, with a bal ance of 574,667 37 ib the sinking fund on Nov. 30, 1868. The ordinary revenue dur the year was $9,918,918 01 ; of this sum there were expended $8,905,492 64 -leaving a balance in the Treasury on Nov. 3D, 1S6S, of $1,013,415 37. On the great national questions the Gover nor reiterates the cardinal doctrines of the Republican party, so emphatically declared at the polls in November to be the will cf the people. For his strong soldierly decla ration against repudiation in every form or chape, or under any device or plea, lie is en titled to the thanks of every good aud hon est man It is the duty of every Governor of a State, or prominent official, now to place on record his opinion against that of the l'resideut, for the information aud satisfac tion of our foreign bondholders, and we arc glad so see Governor Geary lead off. One of the most important recommenda tions in the message, is that of the passage of a good and sufficient Registry lair, to protect the sanctity of the ballot-box. The immense frauds perpetrated in the last po litical campaign are so fresh iu the memory of all as to preclude their reiteration ; and, to prevent their recurrence, the people look to the present legislature for prompt relief, iu the passage of stringent and efficient laws on the subject. The system of education, the common schools, the agricultural college, soldier's or phans' schools, the militia, pardons, and oth er topics have been carefully reviewed by the Governor, and will repay s careful peru sal by our readers. Upon the whole, this messago is one of the most satisfactory ever issued by a State executive the various subjects being treat ed in a frank, comprehensive, high-minded, and liberal spirit, and worthy the Governor of this great central Commonwealth. Arkansas Trouble?. The report of the officers whom General Grant sent down to Arkansas to investigate the condition of affairs there vindicates the actions of Governor Clayton completely. These gentlemen. Generals Uabcock. ard Porter, emphatically testify that the rebel malignity and lawlessness was such as to ful ly justify the Governor in calling out the militia; that he prudently forbore to do so previous to the November election for fear of prejudicing the Republican cause, and al though at that time many .murders of prom inent Radicals were being committed, aud the Governor himself and many others com pelled to sleep in the State House under guard for fear of assassination. The Gener als testify further that although many of the Governor friends thought he was rash and injudicious in calling out the militia, they now admit that the result has proved that he was wiser than they ; things have turned out better than they expected, crime and murder being repressed, and the best peo ple of all parties gradually rallying to the support of law and order. Thus are the rebel and Conservative calumnies about Clayton and the Arkansas Republicans con futed by impartial witnesses. The U. S. Treasury. The Secretary's estimate of $303,000,000, for the expenses of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1870, are to be cut down by Con gress to an outside figure of $290,iK,0UUi The receipts into the Treasury for the same year are estimated by the Secretary to reach $34l,000,000,showing a net balance of $51, XX,000, to be applicable to the reduction of the public debt. Rut other estimates equal ly reliable put the probable receipts at $3."0, 000,000, with a possible increase of even another hundred millions under an honest collection of the revenue ; all applicable to a still farther reduction of the debt. Thus we have, upon all the showiugs from every quarter, good reasons to anticipate a surplus ranii'iug from ,3l,On0,0O0 up to $151,000, 00), and which will be directly arplioable to the diminution of the public obligations. For this eticouragiug outlook, and for the auspicious promise of its reality, the coun try is already indobtcd to the incoming new order of things. Most people think the true value of a greenback is found bydeducttog the premi um on gold from 100. This, of course, is an error. Take the price of the gold as the divisor, par or 100 as the dividend, and the quotient will be the gold value of the green back. For example, gold is aboat 135. Di viding this by 100, we find that a dollar greenback was worth about 74 cents in gold. "When first imposed, the income tax cm braced 4T0,000 persons. W hen the exJtnp-.

Those "rich men" --tor any man. with eeonouweal habit, is 'rich," whose clear income exceeds l,0oO contribute $30,000,000 a year to the sup iHTt of tb? Government. Notes from Harrisburg. The members of the Pennsylvania Legis lature assembled at Ilarrisburg, on Tuesday, January 5th. The Senate was organized by electing Hon. W. Worthington, of Ches ter county, Speaker. Geo. W. Haaimersly, was then elected Clerk, and Lucius Rogers F. II. Braggins, Assistant Clerks. The IIol'se was organised by the election of Col. John Clark, of Philadelphia, as Speaker. Geu. J. L. Selfridge, of Northampton, was then elected Chief Clerk ; and Edward G. Lee, of PhiKa, Assistant Clerk. All the of ficers elected are Republicans. The Republican caucus, on W1nl:iv. the 6th, nominated Hon. John Scott, of Huntingdon, tor the United States Senate, by acclamation all the other candidates having been withdrawn. This nomination ts one of the most popular that could have oeen made. 1 he election will take place on the third Tuesday in January. -at 3 o'clock, p. m., the time fixed by law. Mr. Scott will, undoubtedly, be elected to supercede Mr. Buckalew, the present copperhead in C iinbcn. R. A. Mackcy, Esq., of Pittsburg, is the Republican caucus nominee for State Treas urer. Mr. Mackey is Cashier of the Alle gheny Bank at Pittsburg is a man of un doubted ability and honesty, and will make an active and efficient officer. The valuation of tho personal estate in the several counties of this Commonwealth, tax able for State purposes, amounts to $202, 829,94140, according to the report of the Auditor General. The tax assessed foots up to $567,916 70, and the special half mill tax is $98,416, 08. The population of the Commonwelth for 18G8' is placed at 2, 851,047, and the number cf taxable? at773, 28 '. -By the act of Assembly approved April 15, 1868, the above amount of tax is reduced fifty per cent. Gov. Geary gave au annual reception, on Thursday evening, January 7th. In accor dance with the nsual costom of the Governor, no intoxicating beverages were presented. It was attended by all the beads of depart ments, members of theileg'islature, and many other invited guests. The recommendation of the Govenor to dispose of the $10,000,000 of bonds of the Pennsylvania Central and Erie Railroads, which constitute a portion of the assets of the Sinking Fund, and draw no interest, is one that should be met. Bat the method of peremptory disposal to the highest bidder should not .be thought of unless there is a reasonable certainty of their bringing such a price as will truly represent their value. The amount is too large for anything but mon eyed corporations to handle, and their facil ities for affccJiig the market so as to operate injuriously against the Government, State or National, is well known. Negotiations for the sale of these bonds should be entered into in a private business way, and if the re sult be unsatisfactory, they should be with drawn. It is a hardship to do without the interest, but it would be greater to be de prived of any part of the principal. The Cuban Spirit. A little thing sometimes gives us a truer insight into the character of human move ments than volumes of more general infor mation. The Cuban insurgents, in one of their recent battles against the Spaniards, not being able to procure any other artillery, used Kooiltii cannon. They could ouly fire a few ronnds from these fragile guns when they would burst, oftentimes killing the can noneers who served them. Men who fight iu this way, we may safely conclude, are in earnest. Their spirit w that of the Mexi cans, who, whon fighting against Cortez, used to say that they cared not how many natives fell so that they could now and then kill a Spaniard. Gen. Dulce's dulcet proc lamations will not move the revolutionists much we fear. Hon. Hirstf.u Cltmer. The Hon. Hicster Clyiuer. of Berks, in a letter to the Hon. William Hopkins, of Washington, for mally declines being a candidate for nomi nation for Governor before the. next Demo cratic State Convention. The political friends of Mr. Clyiuer will hear of this de termination with regret, as Mr. C. was the favorite candidate of his party and would have received a renomination beyond a doubt. His declination leaves Hon. Asa Packer, of Cirbon county, the prominent Democratic candidate for Governor in Eas tern Pennsylvania, as Gen. Cass, is in the West. It makes little difference, ho ever, whom tho Democrats nominate, as Gov. Geary, who has so faithfully "administered the affairs of the State for the last two years will assuredly be're-elected. Elkctioxs. Were we disposed to pro vide material for a new campaign or jubilant over party successes, we might call attention to the results of the recent elections, charter and State. Municipal elections were held in Wilmington, Raliegh and Newbern.North Carolina, which resulted in the election of the Republican candidates. Florida has been carried triumphanlly for the Republi cans; Little Rock has elected a Republican Mayor by a round majority, and Columbia borough, Laueaster county, has been redeem ed from Ku Klux. thraldom by almost as mueh of a majority as it usually rivps in - ml - State contest. Those results are chronicled in time of peace, wl en there is but little stuffing aud browbeating on tho part of Dem ocrats, and may therefore be set down as a true criterion of sentiment. The Mobile Tribune gives a lengthy ac count ofthe sufferingsof Southern emigrants in Bnuil. Out of all the Southern families that went to that country at the close of the war ouly seven or eight remain. The "Has tings colony," oo the AmaaoB, has been re duced to a remnant. Those that are left are iu a destitute condition, while the fami lies that have returned are not blow in ex pressing their gratitude at the prospects of taking a fresh lease of life. An old and successful merchant la M tbaught he would try the virtue of adverti sing, in 1868. He spent $2,000 in judicious ly varied and freshly written advertisements, and tripled bis business in less than twelve months. Washington City GoaBip. Tbe Treasury is in danger of an extensive raid. Seventy-two railroad projects have already been introduced in Congress, a Con gressman or two being privately interested in each, by grants of public lands. Better divide our domain among Union soldiers by equalizing bounties, and prevent this Con gressional squabble for Uncle Sam's acres. John Minor Botts died at Culpepper on Friday, the 8th of January. Hon. David A. Wells, Special Commis sioner of Internal Revenue, has sent a report to Congress which covers very important statements based upon thorough and exten sive investigations. On the currency and its restoration to soundness, Mr. Wells has nothing new to suggest. His discussion of the revenues admitted only an incidental ref erence to this subject, and it is evident that he has not given it that profound and inde pendent study on which his discussions of matters more peculiarly within his province are founded. He re affirms, in substance, the known views of the Secretary of the Treasury on contraction, and thinks that by funding the greenbacks and buying up bonds every year with the surplus revenues, the Treasury can rapidly return to specie pay ments. The rest ot the report is devoted to an argument favoring the breaking down of our present tariff and indirectly advocating free trade, to which principle Mr. Wells seems to be entirely committed. Another of the stern and steadfast Re publican Senators has been rewarded by a grateful and generous constituency. The Hon. Wm. M. Stewart, United States Sen ator from Nevada, has been unanimously renominated by the Legislature of his State, and will, of course, be triumphantly elected. The effort tending to the building of sev eral new railroads to radiate from the city of Washington is likely to prove successful. Senators and members of Congress from the Eastern, Middle and Western States nearly all appear to favor the plan of a more gen eral free system of railroad building from the national capital. Major General L II. Rousseau, comman der of the Fifth Military District, died at New Orleans on Friday night, January 7th, of congestion ot the bowels, after three days illness, A large number of Episcopal clergymen have memoralized Corgress for the passage ot a law prohibiting the carrying of petro leum on conveyances for the transportation of passengers. The interest of this class of persons is presumed to arise from the facts that the Rev. R. J. Parsin, of that denom ination, was lost by the recent catastrophe of the, steamers "America" and "United States." The subject equally concerns the whole community, and we hope Congress will show a disposition to act as promptly in this rssnect as for subsidies. The most eminent lawyers in Washington concur in the opinion that the recent Am nesty proclamation has no legal effect what ever. The legislative branch is the only power that can properly grant such amnesty. Poor Andy seems "to put his foot deeper in the mire" every step he takes, for even some of his Democratic friends do not concur in his right to issue such a proclamation. The monthly statement ofthe public debt shows a small increase for December, owing to the issue of bonds to the Pacific rail roads, which do not properly belong in the exhibit. The leading journals and politicians in Virginia, of the ex-rebel t3'pe, exhibit a re markable unanimity in conceding that negro suffrage is inevitable. The Democratic members of Congress have sent a petition to President Johnson, asking him to pardon the assassin Mudd, who is confined on the Dry Tortugus. This action is only in keeping with the sympathisers in the murder of President Lincoln. The agricultural report for 1S67 is in a single volume of 532 large octavo pages, handsomely embellished with numerous en gravings on wood. 224,500 copies are order ed to be printed; 20,000 for distribution by Senators; 1SO,000 by Representatives, and 23,000 by tbe Commissioner of Agriculture. 20,000 copies of the Mechanical Report,have also been ordered. The books will not be ready for distribution before the expiration of the present session of Congress. Vice President Wade has received the of ficial Presidential vote of all the States by mail, although only half of the messengers appointed to bring the votes cast have ar rived. Should the messengers fail to arrive by the third Wednesday in February, the votes will be counted as received by mail. The Grand Jury of the District have dis missed thecasc against Surra tt on the ground that the President's late amnesty proclama tion pardons him for all past treasonable offences against the government. A rumor is current iu Indiana that the Reno gang, six of whom were hung by Jndse Lynch, at Seymour and Now Albany, were in fact guiltless ofthe great express robbery at Marshfield, for which they were first ar rested. It is added that tbe real culprits are still at large. These reports are produ cing a great sensation in that State. It is maintained, bowevet, that tbe Renos de served hanging, irrespective of that affair, for their numberless other offenses against the laws. Henry Bear, a resident of St. Clair, town ship, Bedford county, was, week before last convicted of fraudulent voting, and sentenc ed to three months' imprisonment in the county jail and a fine of fifty dollars. Ills offense was voting twice once in Napier township and afterward in St. Clair. Ho seems to have been intoxicated and made the tool of certain over xealous Copper heads. Howard Peterson, of Custards, Crawford county, offers one hundred dollars reward for any information concerning the wherea bouts of his son Patterson, who disappeared from Grenwood, Crawford county, in Au gust, 1S67, at which time he was about thir teen years old. President Johnson ts stiH nominating Democrats to office but the Senate "can't see it" and gives them the go-by. Right. . - A Boston paper thinking of the snow lying about, says it is ploughing time now, wiili tbe railroads. A Little of Everything. Whiskey is now called bug-juice in some places. The railroad cars are coming, bumming through our county now. George Francis- Train is called "Civis Americanus Sum Pumpkins." The safety of Dr. Livingstone is again confirmed, by Cable despatches. Florida has iadulged in ice an inch thick this year, and complains loudly. Geo.B. Goodlander was elected clerk by the County Commissioners, last week. Fifty-five more days and Andrew Johnson will be off our minds and out of the way. Rosa Bonheur is painting a group of dogs for the Czar. She makes 80,000 francs a year. In New York during Christmas week there were 367 deaths, 333 births, and 156 wed dings. We see mention made of an ear of corn with 24 rows, and containing over 1,100 grains. During 1860 there were 39 murders in Philadelphia eleven more than tbe pre vious year. Andrew Shugart was appointed Janitor, for the Court House, by the County Com missioners. A little child, of J. N. Stuart, of Morris dale, in this county, fell from a bed, last week, and broke an arm. The most bashful girl we ever knew was one who blushed when she was asked if she had not been courting sleep. . A Fast boy on skates skated from Buffalo, Iowa, to Davenport, a distance often miles, the other day in forty minutes. The editor of a Vermont paper says he had a present on Christmas morning, which "was not a piano, but it could yell." An exchange tells us how to make a noise in religious circles Walk into church late with a pair of creaking boots, blowing your nose violently. A man, whose name we did not ascertain, was killed by a tree falling on him whilst engaged in chopping in the woods near Os ceola, iu this county. Queen Olga of Greece walks the streets of Athens, with her baby in her arms, stops and talks with all the mothers she meets, aud compares babies with them. A young lover near Ashland, Tenn., stole the dead body of bis sweetheart while it was lying in its coffin at her father's house on Christmas eve and hid it in a cave. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has decided that the seller is bound to make a deed; as a deed without stamps is worth less, the seller is bound to furnish them al so. Wm. Ford, of Mansfield, Pa., was severe ly injured, recently, by thrusting a heated poker into an old bomb shell, which was used as a door weight, thereby causing it to explode. One "Billy Barlow" has written a letter from Philadelphia to the Secretary of the Treasury, enclosing ten cents as an annual contribution toward the liquidation of the national debt. It is said that the northern portion of Westmoreland county is over run with mad dogs, and that quite a number have been killed. Is it not rather uncommon for dogs to go mad in winter? An exchange says J ubal Early will take advantage of President Johnson's amnesty proclamation and( return home, singing "The year of Jubal E. is come ; return, ye wandering sinner, home."' A fracas occurred between some Welsh at Kersey, Elk county, on Christmas, during which two ofthe combattants were severely cut with knives. One Jack Kelly was ar rested as the perpetrator of the deeds. Sometimes a girl says no to an offer, when it is plain as the nose on her face, that she means yes. The best way to judge whether she is in earnest or not, is to look straight into her eyes and never mind her noes. A 24 pound wild turkey was shot near Newry, Blair county, recently. Good size ; but just a little too large for one man to cat, and not quite large enongfa to satisfy tbe ap petite of two hungry men. So says Snooks. A drunken Irishman, on Christmas day, squared off at and pitched into an approach ing locomotive, at Bridgeport. It was bad for the Irishman, however, for the locomo tive struck him and knocked him into a cocked hat The body of Mrs, Mary Notter, who was drowned at Lock Haven on the 22d Decem ber, has been recovered. A hole had been cut in the ice on the river, from whence she was carrying water.but whether she fell in accidentally, or drowned herself intention ally, is not known. The recent report of the Surveyor Gener al of Pa., states that tbe population of this county, in 1860, was 18,759, has an area of 1,190 square miles, and 761,600 acres of land. The county was formed of parti of Lycoming and Northumberland, March 26. 18t4. The editor of the Hollidaysburg Register says that .he has several turkeys which he was allowed to "take home, having invested a dime in each instance." He does not tell his readers what was trump, but it is presu med that "seven up" is a lively game in that quarter, or the editor would not have gobbled so successfully. The Tioncsta Press laments that many Democratic journals are committed to their choice for next Governor, and in its travail ex claims: "Let old party hacks go the devil," etc. The Fret need not exercise itself mnch regarding this generation, as the par ty has long since gone over.body and breech es, to his satanic majesty. - jf A little child of Mrs. Jane Brown, resi ding near the cemetery at Bellefonte. was suffocated, last week. Mrs. B. had left the babe in charge of her son, nine years old, while she went to do some work. During the mother's absence, the son went out sled tiding. Shortly after some smoke was seen issuing from tbe windows. When the house was forced open it was found that the cradle clothing and carpets were on fire, and the babe suffocated. The Origin of confining juries from meat and drink is thus given : The Gothic na tions were famous of old in Europe for the quantity of food and drink which they con sumed. The ancient Germans, and their Saxon descendants in England, were remar kable for their hearty meals. Gluttony and drunkenness were so very common, that those vices were not thought disgraceful,and Tacitus represents the former as capable of being as easily overcome by strong drink as by arms. Intemperance was so general and habitaul, that no one was thought to be fit for serious business after dinner, nence (according to Dr. Gilbert Stuart) the re striction upon jurors and jurymen to refrain from eating and drinking, and to be even held in custody, until they had agreed upon their verdict. Beecher's versatility enables him toacbieve extraordinary success even in the role of auc tioneer. We are told that at the annual sale of Pews in the Plymouth Church, the other night, Mr. Beecher "introduced the business of the evening in a happy, humurous ad dress." In view of the fact that the "bu siness" yielded upwards of $97,000, there is nothing extraordinary in the introduction. Some people could be humorous on the tenth part of that amount. Beecher charges more than the fourth. What would the Pilgrim fathers say to these sales were they permit ted to pop in upon them ? THE NEW Y0EK TSIBUUE FOB 1869. Within the last eight yrati onr country baa passed through the gravest and most trying per ils which have confronted her linoe her Indepen dence was acknowledged. She has vindicated, beyond appeal her right to be regarded as no saere confederacy or league of jealous, envious, discor dant States, but as substantially and permanently a Nation, wherein the pretensions of no part can be ailmitted or upheld in opposition to the integ rity the paramount authority ,ot the One Republic Tbe right of each man. by virtue of his birth or his naturalization as a citizen of the United Statts, to the full enjoyment of '-1 i fe . liberty .and the pursuit of happiness," until be shall forfeit the right by crime, is also established on in.preg nable foundations. Our fathers proclaimed it in justifying their separation from Ureat Britian; it wad left to ua to establish as a tact what thoy merely affirmed as a principle. What the cannon of York town and Saratoga proclaimed as an ab straction, the cannon of Gettysburg and Vicks burg established as a living, embodied, enacted truth. Of these immense results, the importance and the benificence will become more palpable with every added year No great good is ever achieved without effort or without cost. Four yearsof patriotic strugele and sacrifice, half a million of men slain in battle ordyiag of tbe pri vations and exposures of war millions of bereav ed ones, five billions of property destroyed, and nearly three billions of debt incurred, attest tbe magnitude of the contest and tbe unyielding valor of the combatants. There are still obstacles to surmount, perils to avert, noble ends to be achieved ; but the ship of State has ridden out the tempest and has her ha ven fall in view. The Tribune will contend, ia tbe future as in the past, for Universal Amnesty as well as for Impartial Suffrage. It has no faith ia vengeance, in proscription, in confiscation, nor ia tbe shed ding of blood otherwise than in actual and nec essary war "There is a time for War and a time for Peace ;" and the latter follows swiftly on the heels of the former. Whenever those who fought against the Union shal' have in good faith given p tbe contest, they are so longer our foes but our countrymen. In the joyful trust that Grant's election has given the death-blow to Ku-Klax Klans. and all manner ef oat rages ou Unionists ar,d Freedmen as such. and that Impartial Suffrage will no longer be seriously resisted, we hope to see the next four years signal zed by an unprecedented expansion of tbe National Industry and a consequent in crease of the National wealth. We hope to see new cabins dot tbe prairie, new clearings chequer the forest, new factories and furnaces erected. North, South, East and West, until our annual product shall be hundreds of millions greater than at present, while mines of Iron. Coal, Gold. Silver, Copper, Ac, be opened and worked, with an en ergy and te an extent that defies precedes. Be lieving that the systematic, efficient Protection of Home Industry is the corner stone of a wise, be nignant Notional Polity, and that it if essential to the rapid development of our latent resources, to the prosperity of our country, the maintenance of her credit. and the honest payment of her debt, we shall give it our earness aad active support.
