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

Total flooded and unfunded,
which is the Amount of the State debt as
before stated. • . .
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.
'ed: by the people, in legislative 'expendi•
lures, • as, well as to°Very kilter branch of
the government. Their eyes are open to
investigate every transaction, and by their
ballots they arnreadrtristFiredotififtlieart
who will not take effective action-in favor
of positive and - radical reform. 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

In his,Koport the Superintendent of
Soldiers' 111Thans' • Schools exhibits the
total expenditure for . their support frdm
December 1, 1867,, to May 31, 1868, to ho
$286:070 26; total number of pupils in
the schools 3.43l; . average.cost per pupil
$6O 661 for six months; and the ,average
weakly expense, per pupil $2 65k. 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

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.

REGISTRY LAW.
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

The people must be perfectly fret s ; to'

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

INSURANCE D EPARTMENT.
Among the...,_tmlijectiof_drapartahce_to

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

limits; and lately some of them have

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

ic diseases among cattltandothdr animals
has forsonie
,years past - beep a prolific
source of anxiety and alarm

important to cull a convention of compe

last, and an account of their transactions

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

The foregoing subjects have been deem- .
ed of sufficient importance to submit at
the present time for your information and
consideration. . Others may occur before
the close of
,the session which may be
Worthy .of special communications. It
Will holey constant care and determine
„don to cii=eperato with',you in the prose
cution of any measures that rosy. tend to
preserve and increase the prosperity ot,the
State and the happiness of its people, with
the firm 1-elicf that your, united wisdom
will aim constantly to promote these desir
able results.
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. States, has at the bul-
Intzbtrriwerdatanid — ts - Tife — W — CiFfn is is
our national indebtedness, no matter how
heavy the burden, will be paid according
to the letter and spirit' of the agree
ments made and entered into at the time
the debt was contracted; and that in this
as in all others respects our individual and
national honor “Must and shall be pre
'served;" the twe era determined by all
honorable means, in our-powor- --to—secure
ample encouragement sand protectior, to
each and every branch of nomc Industry,
and every manly enterprise that contri
butes capital, labor, skill and industry to
our material, wealth; social advancement
and mditical tranquility; that for all Our
citizen e, the children of the Common
wealth, b,ing also citizens of the United
States, we demised the fullest protection,
in their persons, their property, and in all
their rights and prjvileges„,wherever they
may go withth! the national jurisdiction
m in foreign lands. and that whilst our
financial policy shall be such as to maintain
untrammelled our national credit, it is to
be hoped that it army at the earns time, bo
ouch Ili will permit and - Sanction the con
struction of the great .railways now' in
progress and stretching opt their giant
arms to grasp Cho mighty commerce of the.
Pacific, to , ddvelop Cho untold resources of
wealth in the interycning , territorios, and,
to connect the must distant portions of
our country in a common union, not only
with iron bands, but by the still stronger
sand snore indissoluble ties of a common
interest, and a common brotherhood.
To lesson the burdens of the pbople, and
to keep the expenses of the State as nearly
as possible within the limits of its abso
lute necessities, will always bo among the
chief oljects.of wisp and just legislation. ,
Let us, then, with. a duo sense' of our • •
ioblig,stions and high responsibilities, on
.deavor so fo secure the greatest good of •
the community and merit the approbation _
of,thin by whom our Commonwealth has
been so abundantly blessed.
