In view of the favorable eiecumstances un der which lon aro now assembled• it be comes my province and duty, as it is my pleasure, to offer. you my heartreongrat .ulations, and to tender you a cordial wel come to the Legislative Halls of the State. This, indeed, affords me a higher gratifi cation because I participate with your constifbenti in the confidence -maniofsted by them in selecting yen to represent their individual interests as well,as them, of the Commonwealth. On your wisdom,. integ- • rity, judgment and discretion, all will un doubtedly _rely for the correct determina tion of every quesilon effecting the largest interests and gisivest responsibilities, and for a continuance, and even an increase, of that prosperity which has hithertd been so signally enjoyed.. It is dot-without it consciousness - of - the •great responsibility resting upon me that I. undertake the performance of a cOnsti ,Autlonaiduty,..requiring-that the Governor shall from time to time give to-the Gen- ' eral Assembly information of the state of the Commonwealth, and recommend to their-consideration ,such mbasures as he shall judge expedient.? In conformity with this requirement, your attention will be called only to. such matters of public interest as-itimy judgment deserve careful eonsideratioh and action on your part dur ing the present session.

During the last ei , bteen years there has been carried upon the accounts of the Au ditor General and State Treasurer, , and in their several public statements, "depre ciated funds unavailable," to the amount of forty-one thoresnd and thirty-two dol lars. I recommend the appointment of a joint committee. , by the Legislature, whose duty it shall- be to examine the said de , precasted and unaiallable 'funds arid pose of them-to-the best-advantage of the Treasury; or, it. found to_ be worthless, to cancel and destroy them, so that the ac counting officers may he relieved from the necessity and responsibility ,of annually accounting for them. The large caslistialance remaining in the Treasury on the aOth of November, 1 867, has been used for the puym. nt of the twent ty-three million loan and" for the liquida tion of outstanding claims, against the State. The-investment of the funds, ihi'`one of the modes recommended in my last an nual.. message, has, therefore, in a great measure, been rendered unnecessary_ for. the present. , But in the event of largo ac-_ cumulation cif the.money here.fter, the re commendations therein given are respect fully referred to, and renewed. W henever there may be surplus funds.in the Treas ury, they can, with safety and benefit to the State, ho employed in the purehnse of its 'outstanding bonds. and in savirg the Interest on them which would accumulate prior' to their maturity. I regret to state that the la aegislature, although fully forewarns n regard to the insecurity and wantlimper and suffi cient guards for the safe-keeping of the money of the Commonwealth, fail, d to de terniine upon any mode by which the Treasury may ink effectually guarded against the possibility of hip. The res. sent Legislature has it in its power to se cure for iteelf _no ordinary licnor, by the enartment of 5u,.11 a law, strong and effi cient for the -purpose indicated, and the enjoyment not only of the approbation, but the permanent gratitude of every citizen. Netwithstanding the satisfactory red9c- Lion of the public indebtedness, us•showh in the foregoing statements, an immense State debt is still upon us, requiring nearly two million or dollars to be collected to pay the Interest accruing, upon it annual ty. Its. extinguishment - at the earliest prscticable period, not- inconsistent - with other public I nterests, is of the hi hest Im portalice to every tax-payer. .1 cannot, therefore, too Strongly urge the stric'est economy in respect to every expenditure, and the utmost retrenchment in every de partment , Retrench.r.ent is emphatically demand.

The mo ney paid into the Treasury is the property of the people, every one of whom hat a just right to h.dd his representatives to a strict accountability for every dollar that may be appropriated or expended.' 1 here.renew'ilie remarks made last year on the subject of "annual apropriations," to which you- are respectfully --referred. For four successive years, the gene'ral ap 'pronriation bills I - Mve been signed on the eleventh day of April, being about the time of adjournment. The Governor has been forced either to sign the bills without proper investigation, notwithstanding any objections he may have; suspend the means to defray the operations -of the gov ernment for the ensuing year; or call an extra session of the f Legistature. I repeat that it is earnestly desired that the ap propriation bill be taken up, iseu.sed and passed at a sufficiently early period dur ing the sehion to enable it to receive_tlit. orough examination which its impor tance demands." EDUCATION COMMON Scnoots The annual report of the Superinten dent of the Common Schools exhibits the condition of that, department in a highly satisfactory the Statd there are 1,918 school districts, 13,766 5ch0010p2.382 graded schools; 11,698 school directors; 73 county, city and borough superindandents; 16;771 teachers; and 800,515 . pupils. The cost of tuition for the year was $3,273.266 43; of building, purchasing .and renting school houses, $1,991,125 55; of contingencies,' $854,- 253 21. Those three items with caper ditures for all other purposes connected therewith, amounted to the aggregate sum of $6,200 537 96. Tpthlo facts are exhibited with 'great satisfaction; as they show the average rin-, nuul cost for the tuition of each pupil to be about seven dollars and seventy-four and a half cents. The average umiihril paid to . each teacheris about $195 17i per annum. This, in my opinion, is too small itealury to secure the services of compe tent teachers; and I am -fully justified in urging' the n'edeasitY .of Increased COM peneatiOn'., -It is but lust, and it will nave en ideiriltingtendaney not only upon the. teachers but Ilie .manner .in which their atities.are t perflirmed. .

The fiscakyeur of these schools, like that of the common Schools,-terminates by law on the last day of May of each year. The present report of the Superintendent, therefore, embraces only six months, and reports will be made up to the 81st day of. May, annually, hereafter. The special appropriation of February 26,1808, made in accordance .with an estimate of the Superintendent, presented in my last an nual message, exceeded the actual expenses $4.004 74. Votwitnetimatng- every -*possible -effort . has been,' and will continue to be -made, to economize In the-elipenses of the Pre sent year, and to keep them as far as pos sible within the appropriation made by the last Legislature, it will readily be observed that there will be If deficit for the'year ending May a; 1869, the amount of 'which will be carefully ascertained and presented to the Legislsture. prior to, 'the close of the present session. The achoolaare •all in good • condition and improving, and their usefulness is daily becoming more,manifest. They aTe among the most - philanthropie institutions of the age, and reflect higher honor on the patriotism of the Legislature by which they have been Eli liberally endowed and upon our people by whom, they. are sus tained. The children who aro the recipi ents of their benefits are the' offspring of bravo men who voluntarily endangered their lives in the cause ,of their country in the most trying hour of Ps existence, and who, glowing with patriotic Hiller, fought as bravely and as heroically as the noblest men in the world's history. Thousands of theM who left their homes in* the blopm of health and with the brightest hopes of manhood, new sleep in death, leaving their widows and little ones to the care of the country in whose service they fell, and which promised them its protection. Their children are the wards of this great Commonwealth; and too much piaise cannot be 'awarded its people for the munificent and tender manner in which ,they have thus far, through their representatives, discharged the-sacred and delicate trust. AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE Before the General Government appro priated. iinblte lands to the "se , reAl -States for the piirpose of agricultural and mili tary education and the mechanic arts, and prior tcr the time when Pennsylvania on. dowed-the-Agricultural-Col-lege-wita-he . share or these lands, it was. dependent wholly uppu individual influence, without any other means for Its support than its own eat ninge. History, proves that semi naries of learning cannot be efficiently sustained by their own into: nal resources. Tho education of youth in the higher branches of knowledge seems to require the aid of philanthropic contributions. This institution had net these benefits to any.adequate extent, and though the beard of trustees bestowed upon it the ii.ost anx ious care, their zeal and labor, combined with those of its. friends, wore not equal to a contest with the • wont of means. Hence the school did, not cominand the confidence of farmers-who were abin to educate their eons, and who, could not for get that tae character of the college , at Inched to the character of its graduates; and that its failure would ,enter into the estimate which the world would place, upon the education it bestowed. This feature has now been removed. The peo ploTt.hrOW-tbeir Legislature, have en dowed this in , titution with the interest upon a fund of $318,500 00. (invested in United States and Pennsylvania State six per cent...tionds;) piiyable to it semi-annu ally. Last year this interest amounted to $26.642 78 The residue of the .fund„ $43,886, 60, has been appropriated, under the law, by the board of trustees, to the - pulichase of three model and - expiirimiintal farms; one at the College, in Centre coun ty, for $B,OOO 00, one in Chester county for $17,750 00, - and one in Indiana court- - ty for $18,136 60. The board has also recently re-organized the faculty and re modeled the course of studies, so as to adapt them to the wants of ther agricul tural community. This new order of things goes into operation at the com mencement of the next session, and it is earnestly hoped will be a success. There is no 'profession, trade or calling in .life, where the value of knowledge and the lights of science, and the practical, appli cation of both,•are se potent for profita ble results as in their adaptation to agri cultural rursuits., Ar.d in this truly procticiil ago it is" well worthy of the consideration of parents, whether they should not avail themselves of the benefits of this institution, now so' generously en dovred by the State.

At thelastsession of-the Legislature an act was passed. known as the "Registry Law," the intention of which was 'to pro tect the ballot-box against corruption and fraudulent voting, to which it has for Many years heed disgracefullY • exposed. This law Berlins to have been so defective in Borneo( its, provisions as to have re ceived the condemnation of a majority, of the Supreme Court, by. which it was pro nounced "incongruousased unconstitution al." At the•election immediately after this decision, it is alleged that frauds were petpetrated, surpassing in magnitude perhaps, any that have been consumma ted heretofore in the history of the Com monwealth. These frauds , bays; demon strated the necessity" of the passage of some law or laws, that Will accomplish the desired object, without being subject to the exceptionable features poihted out by 'the learned gentlemen who ptonouncpd the opinion of the Supreme Bench. . There is no subject of scab vital impor tance to the whom country us the sanctity of-the ballot-box, and the protection . of all citizens in their right to the elective fran chise. This right is our proudest boast. It endows the American citizen with .0 freedom and a power not possessed' by the Subject of any ether government. It makes him the peer of his fellow man,- whatever may be his rank, station, or po- Bitten in life. To be deprived of it by,any. means whatever, his boasted freedom be- Comes a sham—his especial and exalted prerogative a mockery and a farce. What avails it to the citizen that hels entitled to a vote if that vote is to bo nullified by fraud '1 Such guards, tnon, shot.ld, be thrown around the pods as wil effectually, if possible, preserve them from the taint _of a single illegal vote. Not only should 'false vqinghe .Severely punished, but false swc4iTing to obtain a vote be visited with the pains and . penalties of perjury and with perpetual disfranchisement. The people must be perfectly fret s ; to' - iegUluterttreiroThilii.Thnsiness in their own way, and when the voice of the majority is fairly and clearly expressed all should bow to it as to the voice of 'GOA. They are the sovereign rulers, and their will must be the law of the land. Corruption of suffrage in a republican government is the deadliest clime that can be perpetrated; tt is assassination of the sovereignty of, the pdciple, and will be followed by a despo tism; the motive power of which will be money and perjury. And if this privi lege be tampered with, sooner or litter the sure and indignant popular condom na.ion will be rendered and-eondign pun:. ishinent Administered._ All good citizens, of whatever political opinion, should. lend their aid for ,the accomplishment of any amid every measure that may tend to se cure to each voter, not only his right to tire elective franchise, but the assurance abut his vote Will not be • rendered value less by illegality, corruption or frionl. Evirry - prbper tam t y or t e nature zation of citizens of foreign birth should be afforded ; but the Legislature, in its combined wisdom, can surely enact some mode to prevent, the possibility, of a single vote being cast upon spurious naturaliza tion papers, and thus fully secure the pur ity of the elective franchise. R:EV,ISIoN OF THE CIVIL CODE -Tim commissioners appointed to codify the statute - laws of ,tfie State have dilli gently prosecutedllie work assigned them, and with very prospect that it will be fully completed within titietime prescribed by the legislative resolutibne of April B. _ 1868; and 'in further compliance with' them, they will cause to be laid before •uch brunch of the Guncrul Assembly, ut its present session, various tities of bills, with brief abstracts of the.seynral sections of each, which have been matured. INSURANCE D EPARTMENT. Among the...,_tmlijectiof_drapartahce_to L citizens of Pennsylvania is the estab lishment Insurance Department. Such Departments are in successful opera tion in' several neighboring Statbs, by means of which the interests of ' insur ers are guarded and promoted. Su careful a supervision is ihad 'over the transactions in insurance companies that frauds are rendered almost impossibln, and spurious companies can have no existence. The result of tho protection I.lms afforded is, that whilst ioreign companies, thus protected, do immense business in this State so little confidence is had in those of Pen risylvaniathat their .business is Al ;mit, en ti rely confined within the State limits; and lately some of them have withdrawn their agencies from °thin. States, risks will he taken,. in c,inseq mince of the i n whip:icy of 'the laws to all'ord- protection to insurers. To this defect. moreover may, bll attributed the operations of the number of worthless companies which have •urldenly sprung up without any solid husk, and as sud denly • spired, to the ir•jL.-y of all whose conlldmee they iibtained, and to the dis honor of the Commonwealth. ‘Vhilst. Pennsylvania insurance compani es trans act little ',mine-is outside of the State,dt, is alleged that,foreig . n life insurance corn pa. nios alone paid taxes last • year on three mildon eight hundred thousand dollars of premiums received in Pennsylvania, a great prop ortion of which would- be con fined to this Slat, if the ;•irrne protection Was given bv, . law to Its citizens as is lir forde.a by other Stale, The report of the Innorance Department of Now York. pnb lisheil in 1867; shown that the ... , inpanies, I which_weros doing • busines s -.tri- , 1866,- . in 'Pennsylvania, and also in N' York: had rinks in •forcn for more tt rah tive thousand million of dollars; and • it- is believed that the risks in cOmpanies, which for wart of a prop. r Inset:ince be. it,..ohont,. ono 'not be obtained,. would swell-toe „amount to ov..r FIX thquenod In view of these facts, and of the costly experience' of 00 people who bane-been impo:sed upon and defrinuled by unsu stantial and ophetrairal companies.

STATE BENEFITARIES A number of benevolent, charitable and other similar institUtioas annually receive appropriations from the State for their eanpert.. These appropriations, In most, if not in all cities, appear to, have been tai . equate for the purposes - Ito which it was intended they should be applied, and are as liberal as can reasonably be expected in the present condition of the Treasury or the litate. THE ,StrecauEnenre. A preliminary report on the Susque hanna fisheries has been submitted by Col. James Worrell, • Civil Engineer, Com missioner under the act of the•Legislaturo iii reference thereto. There are some facts which should be embodied in the re port, but. which can not be ascertained until early in January. Permission has therefore been granted to the Commission er, at his request, , to postpone the, sub mission of his . regular report until the earliest day practicahle during tho- pres ent month. • CATTLE_ DISEASE The prevalence ot contagious' or epidem ic diseases among cattltandothdr animals has forsonie ,years past - beep a prolific source of anxiety and alarm .finfong the producers and consumers of meats in ma ny of the States. It was thereforedearced important to cull a convention of compe tent persons to take into,consideration the means best calculated to remedy this great end growing evil. This convention, cum postl .d three commqsioners each .from the fourteen States represented, appointed in accordance with an agreement by the Several Goverm7s, assembled ut Spring field, Illinois, on the 110 st-of December last, and an account of their transactions is her!wlth presented. . Without legislative authority, but,be !laving my action would -be sanctioned by the pnple's representatives. I appoint ed Dr. Hiram Corson and Messrs E. C. Humes arid .A. Boyd Hamilton, commiss ioners to represent Pennsylvania in that dnvention. 'nese gentlemen.freely gave their time and experience„ and also in curred a pecuniary expense of about three hundred.dollati, to defray which I rec ommend that an appropriation be made. STATISTICS In view'of the vast amount and, great variety of the product's of the State, a desk for the collection of statistics, relative to exports and imports, agriculture, man -ufactures, coal, iron, oil, lumber, &0., might, with - propriety and profit he estab- . _hsbed This- could be accomplished by the emplqymcnt of a competent clerk, un rifler the supervision of one of the present heads of department, *hose duty should be to collect and publish such facts as might tend to stimulate and increase our productive energies, instill new life and vigor into our manufacturing Interests, and lead to more accurate knowledge of all our internal re-ources and the proper' _methods for their development.

RESOLUTIONS OF THE VERMONT LEGISLATURE Your attention is called to the accom panying joint resolutions ? passed at the lest session of the Vermont -Legislature, bearing a just tribute to the hop Hon. Thaddeus Stevens. Joint resolutions from - tno same body are also sent „you, which I regard as worthy cf your consideration, relativ_e•to the act of Congress • , to estab lish and protect National Cemeteries," and recommending "to the Legislature of the State of Pennsylvania tho.passage of en act ennativering_the__boar I :of ccunmissioi era having charge of the Seldl - 01-S' Nation al Cemetery at Gettysburg, to transfer all the right, title, interest and cure of said Soldiers' National C metory to the' Gen eral Government, upon the completion of tht.same. IN MEMORIAM it has been the misfortune of the State :during the past-year-to lose by-death-two of her rOpresentatives in the Cong'ress of the nation, Hon Thaddeus St-yens• of the Ninth, and Hon. Darwin A. Finney, of the Twentieth District. Both were natives of Vermont, but in early life selected Pennsylvania for their home, and Wend 'tied theinselves with her interests, which they wore chosen to guard in the Legisla ture; and the people or the Common wealth will long remember with gratitude their faithful, and efficient services. The first went dqwn to his grave after a long life of public usefulness and in well matured honors; the other in the prime of manhood, which gave promise of a schreoy leSs bril liant career. PARDONS. The list of pardons issued during the past year will be found among the papers to which. your attention is called., The principal reasons upon which they wer based, and the na.nes of some of the promai mint petitioner's, ere given in , every ease. That a few of these pardons may have been unworthily granted, throuttli misrep resentations of relatives, friends, tiyinpa= tbizini neighbors and other interested par ties, there is no doubt, but ill the majority of instances it is certain that the facts not only justified but demanded Executive clemency. . - - - Too whole number applications for par dons dtfring the year has been sixteen hun dred and twenty-three. The number of pardons grunted in that time has been one hundred and six, which is little over fif teen per cent. Of these pardons about five percent. haute beonk again 'brought before the courts in densequenco of their return to the commission ef-crime. I em fully impreised with the weighty respunsibilty of the pardoning, which ranks among'the most difficult_ and em barrassing duties of 'the Executive Office.

Many of the events that have transpired since my_last annual communication to the , Legislaturo have been unusually inter esting and significant. They have been infinitely more than political, and bear directly upon the great interests and most sacred destinies of the nation. Apart from , the vindication 'of the principles of tho. party of which sustained the government and the army during the contest fur the preservation of the Union. and the elec tion to the Presidency of the first so)dier of the ago, is the fact that the people have by triumphant majorities forever settled, ~„ our controversy upon certain •fundamen-. tal principles. - Parties may and undoubt edly will arise upon other is - sues, but there can be no future struggle about slavery. Involuntary servitude, as a monopoly of 1.,t0r, is for'ever destroyed. The monster obstacle to the national prog ress has been m reoved, and henceforward all the facul- ties of our people can ho developed “with out let or hindrance." The fair and ex 'l - inherently fertile StatA of the South, heretofore - comparatively i'etrogresai4e - and unprodbctiva, relieved from this- ter rible curse, with the Max of nnrthsrn immigration and capital, will soon become the rivals of their northern sister States in all the arts of peace, and additional markets will be developed in which tb ex change the varied products of OW hereto fore hostile sections. .Hardly less in gical -has Loon the effect upon other nations. General e Grant's..eloc den has confirmed the hopes of our nation's friends, and the fears . of its foes in the Old_ World. It suPpromencsyLnd seals the verdict of arms and the progreb of r,opub- Bean principles. The downfall of•the re bellion :in the United State: was quidirly .foliciwed by the great civil revolution in England; The peaccful expulsion of the lust of the Bourbons from Spain; tbe un rest of Cuba;, the concession of more liberal" principles in Gerniany; and the necessary acquiescence of tiiiLEMpAtora_ the French in the republican, sentiments he fears even as go has betrayed_ them. What are these but the echoes o :the dire catastrophe that ImA n overwholneed aristoc 7 racY in the United States ? Notwithstanding the importance of the issues involved in the late canvass, and the bitterness of feeling as well as the ear nestness with which it .was - conducted, its termination hus happily met with the no quiescohce of nearly the whole people; and at no time in the history of the nation has tl.ere been opened before us, a brighter prospect of continued peace and increas ing prosperty ; and and we have no great jr.cause founiversal congratulation than that rio differences of opinion now eilst that can materially mar our, eationalhap piness, retard our onward progress, or threaten the. peace or perpetuity of our government. . , In oonclubion, permit she to remark that the voice of Pennsylvania, as well as that of a snajority,,ol the.
