Th'e ,Governor of Pennsylvania presents.'a
gratifying view of the. condition of the CoM
inonwesith,• Thgc.iepipt into:. the State' Treas
..
ury, were: $3,826,350; ,'the expenditures;
879,051. The available balance ilnosi $839,-
323. . Part of...the . expenditures 'was the
payment of 1846,2820 f the Public .debt: The
funded and Unfunded:debt of, the' State is
478,061. , Deducting' the bonds received for the
sale ot.the, public ;works, .and. 'the debt of . the
Commonwealth is $17,397,061, on which . inter
-est is paid &pin the ' ordinary sources of reve
nue. The public debt is decreasing* the rate
'ofo.'million of dollars a' Year,'and the. Governor
looks forward tothe time 'when 'the. State
Government can be provided for without a tax
on realpersonal''esiate.. To de, this, howevei,
economy in.tha administration and the Main
tenance of the present sources rif revenue are
necessary. The. suubutli:and Railroad
have complied With • the conditions of the:law,
has had.two of the canal bonds issued
to it, and citie,Millied of the '.mortgage bond si
147mileiof the road are in. practical Operation !
054 are, graded, and. 4 ti are •yet. td, be
graded. , Another year will See the whOle line
to Erie completed. Attention is. called to the
fact that the Pennsylvania jtailread .withholds
83 . 50,405 due the ComniOnWealth on the ton
nage tax, the company contesting the constitu
tional right, to impose it.' . The Governor thinks
tliat us the'contract was one voluntarially en
tered into by the company under the.charter
granted, it Cannot . now. turn 'around and deny
the right of the State to impose the tax while
the company is .enjoying the benefit of the
charter, and that the Commonwealth swill not.
yield her demand. for revenue from this source,
until fully indemnified for the pecuniary injury
sustained to her own , property by the liberality
to the company. ',The public sehools, of the
State contain 634,651 ,:pUpils,' and 11,463'
schools. with 14;071..teachers. The entire cost
of tuition, incleding . Philadelphia, is '52,047,-
661, and the entire cost to . the .tiite of the sys
tem for the year; .vas $2,579,075. Ao in
crease of the , annual echo& appropriation ., to
each county he thinki isworthyof thn Conaider
tion of the Legislature.... The Farthers' High
School is also favorably spoken of. • The State
library contains 22,00 . 0 . volumes—the largest.
State. Librark.in•the Union; except New York.
The Governor renews his suggeitions with re
gard to the honking system; his opinions re
maining unchanged Since his former measage.
Ha,earnestly calls for laws to protect the pub
.lic•,from loss' by the adoption 'isf . .a '• safer
mode of:receiving, keeping, and_ disbnrsing the
public mone, the' main reliance now against
.
less being the integrity of the State Treasurer.
The CommisSioners ito.. revise .the'penal code
