The success of Tilden , must not be al. !oyes! or tainted by :any treachery to that pure and incorruptible statesman and pa triot, Gbvernor Thoma 4 A. Hendricks. The Democrats imust insist on everything they honestly woti: - at the polls, and the election of GovernkHendricks was one', of their trinmphs. - The aboie, which we cut from the Memphis Appeal, is buk,the echo of _the universal demand of the)3emocratic par ty throughout - the Union.

We believe that the events of the next thirty days will establish beyond a doubt, the fact that only by: the - grossest frauds have Florida and Louisiana been claimed , for Hayes, and that fact-proven in the case of either State, gives noun undonlit.; ea Majority of the _electoral vote, and makes any kind of .0 compromise unnec essary.

This curt allusion to the engrossing topic of the Presidential succession is all he has , to say ahont it. Like the::cother 'unsuccessful candidates for the'republican notnination f yith per haps the exception of Senator Morton; he sustains the defeat of his fortunate rival with the utmost equammity. In- deed,lis candid admission that the de• lay in announcing the • result is an ex ttsperating circumstance, in acommercial point of view, - may_he,considered as a re buke-to the republican, marplots who are insisting upon counting in the defeated candidate. The . financial recomnidelione of the message are of an extremely cautious and non•committ4 kihd. ' Last year in Order to meet extraordinary cieman4 Upon the treasury for expenditures to_ which the state had been committed by ipreviond action of the legislature a 'heavy draft was made upon the sinking fund - ; revenue. Two-thirds of the coroporation - tax- was swept into the general fund to be paid out for -Current • expenses. At the 'same time it was provided that for thejear 1877.0n1y,0ne third, of this tax should:be so appropriated. The withdrawal of this source of increased revenue is likely to create a famine in the treasury ter the current , year.. The Governor, hoWever, while warning the legislature. that,be . veto appropriations in s . o excess - piobablci revenue, does not, venture to advise either new. taxation'or a. further raid upon the sinking (nod. Herein he SbOw.A Hy that, is not likely . to . beobai d by the majority in the presimk*gisla . ture unless there has been a maths) : ch ange in the character of Fadigalietoto4/41* PS_ be Itiacy may cost the afti*ltetk l id She - end. The, failure to mark out 'ri;Cligar path toward a desired financial policy generally . results in costly legislative experiments. ' The Peonsylvania System of collecting reretiue is tO• ahatain from direct dealing with, haps - pia' and. eriploy as . agency , to gather in the -lazes. - The state taxes its agents, which are the corporations, and the oc.rporations tax the people. -By the operation of the' constitution the corpora tions are in some particulars s protected from•juneqpit taxation; but the tax trpOrs dividends; With I resort to = an appiatee `tient "of stock where 'no dividends are di ctated or calmed, is found to work a p . taglical exemption from taxation 'n some, cues The governor proposes to remedy . this by s partial reinstatement of 'the Old syatemor, taxili t egross.reciiipts.` If be hal recommended a - cOmpjete return to this standard of taxation for corporation. he would havtiA.xhibited 'wisdom. ; It is the equit4ble . meihod. The only region that it ie not enforoed is that the corpOrationa have a remedy for-inequality.. They make the people With whom they deal repay them to the utmost penny. A tax upon gross receipts would, in the first instance, be much more fairly distributed. That part of the _message relating to banks and saving funds as well as the more ordinary and usual topics of • corn munieation to 'the legislature will in the main commend itself to attention and approval.. ' • Perhaps the most objectionable featdre of the message is, not the absolute recom mendations in regard to theuptropriations for and managemoat of public .SChaole, but the.insidious approval of the prop°. sition that it is the business of the state to assume the function of public educa tion to the explusion of .private under takings. The governor apparently would bave the state make education compulsory and in the furtherance of this idea step between the parent and child, demanding that whether or no the latter be trained according to a prescribed system. This Jo flat heresy. Education as a free offer ing on the part .of the state is benefi cence. But agate intelligence, or a state religion, or state politica are not. things comprehended within the scope of repub lican government. Education needs noth ing moretopotnniend it.than the adYtka tage it beetowa upon -its pouessor. The success of our common Er cbool system is one of the best , proofs of this axiom Whenever the state ventures beyond - the line of the voluntary. 'system it - treadi on dangerous vzround. The result of such a policy would - be in the; end a cumbrous and costly experiment which could not endure under our present political sys tem. The superlative style in which themes : . sage treats of some of. the generaltOpica considered is a new feature in the mes- Bagel , • of the present - executive and of doubtful taste; But the end of the ` first century of, national existence and the triumphs of its international celebration afford wine scone for metaphor which will not offend the patriotic reader.—Har- . risburg Patrioi. • ' NO. 2. 0 U - LA - W MAKER& • Agreeably to the 'firoyisions of our new Con ititution, the Pennsylvania ' Legisla ture met on Tuesday Jan., 2d. at 12. m.
