charges of bad government that ba

Wen brought agaiustthciu. Hie weightof these charges is confessed by the la-K.red etfort at their refutation, whikiTheir force is in «« *»J broken b>' *"ything that is said.The partisan policy that has imposed

uiilitaiy government on a portion ofourSta e i. upheld by the stair andsenseless babble about lawlessness on

the part of the people who have beenoutraged by that goxernment. No nu-

prejudiced man will believe, iu the faceof the facts, that civil l.« f»r jn«t puv-p,,*s caunot be executed in any por¬tion of West Virginia. i

In Wayne and Logau cennties. tor,example, there cannot be cited a

.ingle case ol resistance to the laws.

that faithful officers could not coiitiol.Indeed with but a single exception, the

names, dates and localities have never,

been given to show that a#>bod> ever

so much as meditated resistance to thelawn in that region. The exception was

a ease of jail delivery. It had its par-alUl iu the sinilsr occmrence at Mor- jgautow u, and tioope might have beenwent into lonongalia county with the¦ame propriety as iuto Wayue.Generally, the talk about rebellion

has been of a very vague aud indehuit-cbaractei. It lacks circumstantial ver-

ifioatiou, aud for the simple reason,that it cannot be verified. It is a veryeasv matter for interested parties to

convince the Governor who » auU to beconvinced, and hence listens to but,cne side, but it is not so easy to con¬

vince the public, who want solid /act, jnot partisan assertions. jJudged by its results, we contendthat the presence of troops iu thelocality in question ha.- Wen not oul>unnecessary, but a shameful outrage.In that very region, a case is now pcud- |,ng in which a Union soldier, withthree honorable discharges, has suedthe Board of Registration for disfran¬chising him. Similar disfranchisements jabound in that county. If this is the jfruit of bayonet 1 ule, we should say thatit encouraged, rather than suppressed,acts of lawless \ iolence.The same ma, be said of Harbour andits adjoining couuius. The very man

who induced the Govmoi to send

troops to that county, is now a memberol' the Legislature, by the disfran- jcbiseuient of several hundred men

whose names were strlckeu «ff throng 1

the intervention of the uiilitary. Suppose the President of the Ohio countyBoard of Registration were todesire to be elected to theLegislature. And suppose he!were to notify five or six hundredDemocrat* here to appear before him |with proof of their "loyalty," on pain ofdisfranchisement The result wouldoccasion a degree of discontent on thepart of all parties, uneqealled by any¬thing yet witness Ml in Barbour. Wouldthat justify the interposition of thebayouetf And yet. while the people herewould hardly »ubrnit>> such wrongs,the people of Barbour did and do sub-mit to the injustice doue tliem, and thatwith a forbearance that is the bestproof of their innoceuce of the Gov-ernor's charge. Were they to any ex-'tent the lav. less people he declaresthem, the now unprotected Registrarswho have disgraced theui could not re¬main in their midst. Nevertheless,those officers pass to and fro through¬out the county without harm, andwithout hindrance iu auy particular,and the people have no idea of molest¬ing them.The questions of taxation and cor¬

ruption are discussed by the messagein a thoroughly partisan spirit. The hightaxes are attributed mainly to the frreeSchool system, and are claimed to havebeen brought about by the people them¬selves. At the same time, it is admit¬ted that the State taxes due from a largeportion of West Virginia have been re¬

mitted, aud, of course, the deficiencymust have been made good by the "loy¬al" portious of the 8taie. In otherwards, many counties have been ren*

dered unproductive by proscription, audtheir sb arc of the public burdens hasboon imposed upon tbeir uiore prosperous neighbors.

In this connection the Governormakes no mention of the extravagancethat spent §28,000 for soldiers' medals,

I or the simplicity that entrusted more

than $40,000 to his charge as "CivilContingent Funds." destiny unkuown.lie also iguores the fact that the Peni¬tentiary was to have been comphttd,under the original estimate, for $100,-000, although he wants $75,000 more

expended on that institution,which will leave it but par¬tially finished. A similar dodge is

practiced with regard to the Asylum,upon which $110,000 have been expend'ed, and wore money is needed t* com¬

plete but a portion of the buildiug.It is not through Free Schools proper

that the people's money has been was¬

ted. It is through the numberlesspaid officers employed to euforoe the

system, and the dishonesty of the men

charged with the keeping of the schoolfunds. The confessed delinquency of a

Marshall county official to theextent of several thousand dollars is toorecent a matter to have been forgotten.The defalcation of a Radical school offi¬cer ill Harrison county the other day,will also help to ahow the direction thatthe public money has taken. Radical¬ism is rotten through aud through, audits natural results, dishonest officials,are greatly responsible for the com¬

plaints about taxes. It is not becauseschool houses are being built that thepeople nre gioaniug, but because office¬holders are plundering aud thieving.The universal cry is that school housesare not built, that teachers are not em¬

ployed, and that children are nut taught,while the tax-gatherer collects moneyalmost without limit for edncationalpurposes.And thus we might consider the mes¬

sage, item by item, aud show it to bethe shallowest demagognery possible.We may refer to it agaiD, but in themeantime we hope there will be man¬

hood enough in this Legislature to re¬

quire Governor Bokkman to make a re¬

port concerning his disposition of the]"Civil Contingent Fund."

Gentlemen of tlie Senat* and of the Bouseof Delegate* :

Order has reigned durtng the yearthroughout the greater part of the State.In two or three localities, however,peace has been disturbed, the laws havebeen set at uaught and thesis'ed, aud, indeed, forcibly driven awayfrom the peformatice of theirDuring the war, aud siuce, there has

been a band of armed rebeb m thecounties of Wayne and .Wan, led by a

fellow known and notorious "CaptainBill Smith," murdering, robbing an

; plundering the people ofjagoo.Borne of this band were indicted in thecourts for various ofiences, and I was

urged to offer rewards for them. Xfinally (in November, l*b(>,) did ofierlarge reward for the apprehens.on ofSmith himself, but the civil officershad not force sufficienthim. and he was regarded as snetta desperado that others o

not undertake it, even for the reward rf-fercd. aud this proved unavailing, fa¬ring last winter, this band, stveraltimes, robbed peaceful citizens and com¬mitted other depredations in

county, aud near the first ofMarch, byforce and violence, they putthcofficer*of the county iu fear and drove'theawav from the performance of their (inties at the court house, the latter teel-in" themselves unsafe in resuming theiroffices without protection; and again,this band took possession of the Jan,overpowered tliejailor, put hiiu underrestraint, and released one oftheir asso¬

ciates, who was coHtined tjerein on a

criminal charge. .

It was also made known to me, uv

evidence that I could uot disregard,that the State aud other taxes couldnolbe safely collected iu a considerable(por¬tion of the county, unless thecollertinKofficers had protection and aid. Lnderthese circumstances. and upon thecent application of officers and otnergood citizens of the eounties interested.Tasked the. proper authorities of theUnited States for a small body of troops,aud a compauy was sent into Waynecounty early in the bpnng-a d^toc^ment being afterwards s ationsd atLogan Court House. These trooBf.Mveremained in that portion of the Stateuntil the present time, and since theyhave been there the peace of the com¬

munity has been preserved and the*ot-ticrrs "have uninterruptedly performedtheir duties. In Logan eountygherehad been 110 taxes collected sine* thewar, except a few hundred dollars in asmall portion of the county. In .otherportions of the county, there Sicttmany that had returned from the rebelaruiy, l>rinicini{ their .nr. y.jhwho denied the authority of the gtaUj,Governmeat, and utterly refused to paytaxes for its support, or for the suVP«rtof the county organization uiidtf it,and threatened to resist with arm* andto the death, if the collection of taxesshould be attempted. Tho consetpeucewas that no officer would go intothose portions of the county, and,indeed, no person could be induced tohold an office in tho county which de¬volved on him tho collection of the-taxes. Siuce the troops have beejfsta¬tioned in thecounty, the taxes ofhave all beeu collected and paid intothe Treasury, which, I am aspired, cf>uIdnot have been done had there W«P no

troops there. I think 1 am not in errorwhen 1 express the opinion that the bet¬ter portion of the people of the «g»»interested, without regard to politicalparties, are now satisfied that *h©««.cumstauces demanded troops, andfthattheir presence has greatly conduced totho security of life and property and to-the promot ion of the peace and harmony,and, by consequence, the prosperity ofthe community.In another section of the Slate.1H

tho three adjoining counties of Ran¬dolph Tucker and Barbour.there havebeen very decided manifestations of op-position to tho execution of the regis¬try law during tho year. In the twoformer, officers and other Lnion menwho took an interest in and supportedthe registration of voters, were threat¬ened and menaced by open demonstra¬tions. and also by written con}.""lc»*tions, in ahich they were notified toleave the country or they must suffer m-iurv to their persons aud property; in

conseqneuceof which many officers wereintimidated and resigned, and it hasbeen with much difficulty that personscould be induced to take upon them-selves the execution of the law. In thelatter part of September I was offici¬ally informed that tho subordinate offi¬cers of registration in Barbour countyw ei e opposed by such force ami violencethat, unaided, they could not proceed inthe discharge of their duties; that inthree townships they had been actuallyset upon and assaulted.in some instan¬ces with fire-arms.and forcibly d»^e"awav; and threats were made tbat lieCount v Board would not be allowedTosit for'tlie business enjoined npon themb\ the law, with an apparent determi¬nation on the part of those making thethreats to carry them into execution.These facts were represented to me bythe President of 1 lie Board of Regiatra-t ion and others of the most intepigentaud respectable citizens of thecounty, who concurred in andexpressed the opinion that with¬out the aid and protection of-themilitary force, the law could uot be ex¬ecuted. None of the mill ia were arm¬ed audi wished to avoid, if possible,the arming and using of neighbors**the purpose indicated, inasmuch as thiswould probably continue the irritationand unkind feeling among them afterthe necessity for their armed assistant,which was "believed to be temporary,should pass away. I therefore ca led onthe proper authorities for a few l.nitedStates troops for the emergency andthev were promptly furnished, and sta¬tioned at Phillipi. After their amralthe execution of the law proceededwithout interruption. They remaineduntil after the election, when, on mysuggestion, they were ordered away.The message then states that the

troops in Monroe county ought to re¬main there, and intimates that where-cver tho presence of the military maybe expedient to promote the interests of("loyalty" soldiers will be used.

gard to the pnblie debt of tbat State"have not been appointed because the

question ofjurisdiction over the conntii s

of Berkeley and Jtfferson bas not been

decided, and because "in the presentcondition of affairs in Virginia" a set¬tlement could hardly be had.

HOSPITAL KOR TUB INSANE.

You will have before you the Rejxirtof the Board ofDirector* of the Hospitalfor the Insane, atiWeston, accompaniedby tbe reports of the other officers of theInstitution. This document contains a

foil and intelligent expose of the pro-gress of the construction of the build-log, and of the expenditures therefor,:oud of the internal management and ex- 1pense# of the Hospital for tbe last lis-col year. It seems to me that its peru¬sal shon U1 afford much satisfaction to

[every unprejudiced mind that takes an

^interest in the melioration of the condi-tion of the condition of that most af-[flicted class of our citizens for whose.benefit the institution is designed,HTlis report details tbe matters connect¬ed with the construction and manage-Linen t of tbe Hospital up to SeptemberSK>, 1S6T. At that time no portion of(he building, in addition to thatheretofore used, had been com¬

pleted, bnt I now have the safc-|jsfaction of stating that an additional;section, containing room sufficient forone hundred pa.tieuts, has been com¬

pleted and furnished, ready for tbeir re¬

ception; and there is every assurance

that the remaining section, which ha*been in process of construction, will becompleted by the first of April next,when there will be comfortable accom¬

modations for two hundred and twenty-fire patients. And this will have beenaccomplished with ibe appropriationsheretofore made, and no more moneyfar the completion of this portion offee building is asked fur. Tbe medicalooperintendent has already, under thetimely and appropriate instructions offbo Board of Directors, transferredforty of the lunatics of this State fromibe Asylum at Staunton. Virginia, toWeotoo; and a number have also beenftroagbt in from the jai!s ia differentporta of the State, where they havebeen uncomfortably, vet necessarily,cootined for longer or shorter periods.* I commend to your consideration thegCTerol matters suggested in this report¦anqoring legislation; only oat or twoof which, however, I shall not ice special¬ly. One of tbeae is tbe revision of tbolows io regard to Asylenis as tliey ore-

found among tbe old statute*, whichare regarded as mnch more voluminousthan necessary, and may, probably, besimplified and better adapted to tberegulation of our Asylum by being re¬

vised and condensed. Another recom¬mendation is that tbe construction ofthe central section of the Hospitalbuilding, according to tbs original de¬sign, and fer which the foundation waslaid prior to IStil, shall l>e renewed andprosecnted to completion, at a cost ofeighty thousand dollars, and that an ap¬propriation be made for that pur¬pose. By looking into the report themembers of the Legislature may see thereasons assigned foi this recommenda¬tion.the wisdom and foree »f whichnone can question. While I do not feelat liberty, under all the circumstances,to urge thiu matter upon you, I submitit for such actiou as your better judg¬ments may dictate.

It may also be seen that the Board ofDirectors invite a thorough and search¬ing investigation in regard to the con

stiuctioQ of the building and the inter¬nal management of tbu Hospital, audalso into the expenditures of each; and,while I know the board to be composedof gentlemen of superior intelligenceand of the highest integrity, yet, inorder that there may n« longer be auypretext or excuse for such statementsas arc being made in regard to the con¬

struction aud management of the Insti¬tution, it seems to me well that the re¬

quest of the Board of Directors be grant¬ed, the investigation had, and a reportthereof made to the Legislature, andpublished for tbe information of thepublic.

ntr.K schools.The Auuual Report of the General

Superintendent of Free Schools showsthat continued and very encouragingprogress is being made in extendingand establishing the free school systemin our State, ilia visits to differentportions of the State have atTorded himan opnortuuity of acquiring a generalknowledge of what has been done inthis interesting work, but on account ofthe failure of the more subordinate of¬ficers, in some instances, aud from a

lack ef proper appreciation of the sub¬ject on the part of some county super¬intendents, and inattention to the re¬

quirement of the law by others, statis¬tical reports have been received fromonly twenty-nine counties. It appearsthat in these connties thero have beenthree hundred and sixty-three schoolhouses built during the year, and theGeneral Superintendent estimates thewhole number in the Stato within thesame time at nut less than four hun¬dred and that the number built withinthe three years since tbe system was in¬augurated approximates one thousand;aud, while many of these are very ordi¬nary structures, many display tho goodtaste and liberality of the neighbor¬hoods where they are located, and stillothers are superior in architecture andare supplied with tho most modem andconvenient stylo of school furniture. Inaddition to the local taxes, there wasjdistributed among the counties, onthe 1st of April, l^i7, the sum of $l?r>,-(KtO from the State sriiool fund, and tbesum to be distributed on the 1st of April,lHGf1, is estimated at not less than $180,-0»H); thus showing a continued increase,which, though not large, may be reliedon, no doubt for the future, withoutany increase in taxation.

I Tlio Governor declares that {these re-

| suits have been attained iti the midst offinancial embarransment and in spite of

j prejudices, bnt that tlio prejudices inquestion are fast dying out. The hightaxes connected with the system ho

i contends, are merely temporary, beinglevied chiefly for btiilding purposes.They are imposed by tho people theui-

' selves and if they are dissatisfied theycan eloct officers who in ill levy lessmoney. Nevertheless he has "too milchconfidence in the good judgment of the

[people to believe" that tliey will not

! support "this great and beneficent en¬

terprise.'' The recommendation of the(State Superintendent that the schoolofficers should be required to rejM>rt"certainly and promptly" is approved.!A change in the mode of distributing

the State school fund, is also suggested.Under existing law, this fund is dis¬tributed among the townships accord¬ing to the number of scholars reported.In many parts of the State there are

townships iu which there are but feuschollars, scattered over a large extentof territory, a'ld these cannot be broughttogether in large school*, as can bedono iu the moie densely populated!townships, and in the cities and towns.Consequently, more schools and more

I taaeheis are required in proportion to

j the number of scholars in the formerthan in the latter, the funds are sooner

! exhausted, and the schools are kept for{a much shorter time. It is now sng-jgested that the exteut of territory andthe number of children both, be taken

j into consideration in the distribution'of the fund among the townships, andit seems to me that the suggestion is a

i gi>od one, and that the law fhoild beamended accordingly.

NORMAL SCHOOLS.

The Regents of the State NormalSchool have been appointed as requiredby law; "Marshall College" at Guyau-dotte, "a very commodious and comfort¬able building" has been purchased lor"the contemplated School," and theWest Liberty Academy, in Ohio Countyhaa been bought with a view to the es¬

tablishment of a branch of the Stateinstitution. The Academy needs re¬

pairs, and both concerns want moneyand teachers. The "West Virginia Nor¬mal School*' at Fairmont is said to haremade considerable progress, and allthese establishments are commended to

the favorable consideration of the Leg¬islature.

AQRICt'LTCKAL COLLEGE.The Board of Visitors fortbe"YVeat

Virginia Agricultural College," consist¬ing of eleven suitable persons, one

from cach Senatoiial District, has beeu

| appointed, the property couveyed, the

j College opened, and over one hundredand twenty-five students reported in at-

f tendance. The Governor thinks that! the "State students" ought net to stand

j guard over the building as now repaired,and that somebody should be appointedcnttodian of the college funds.

miTLTiuir.The Report of the Board of Directors

of the Penitentiary, exhibits the progTe»s of the work on that structure, theamount of money drawn on the ordersof the Board from the Treasury, and theamount and items of expenditure. Itis accompanied by the Reports of theTreasurer, Superintendent and attend¬ing Physician. It may be seen fromtbe Rejwrt of the Directors, that therewas a balance of .*> of formerappropriations remaining unexpendedSeptember 30, l»57t and that a furtherappropriation ef 175,000 is recommend¬ed: with thii it is expected to erect tbewalls enclosing tbe grounds and com¬

plete tbe bailding to answer presentueccMikea, and it will then be for fu¬ture Legislature* to determine whetherany, and what character of, additionsshall be made thereto. It will be seen

that the m sow asked for, added to

| former appropriations, exceeds the orlg-inal estimate for the same work #15,000;

| this, however, is satisfactorily account-ed for ia the Report. I thiuk the ap-

i propriation should be made.The Board, composed of gentlemen

of intelligence and high character, whoI feel that the matter committed to their

; bands involves some responsibility, re-

| que«t that a committee be appointed by\ the Legislature, to examine the work

done, and to investigate their proceed-in»js in connection therewith, in orderthat a report thereou may be made, andpublished for the information and satis¬faction of the Legislature and the pnb-lic; aud it seems to me proper that theirrequest should be granted, and the re

port made and published.The message suggests that the Legi#-

la'ure declare "in what Court proceed¬ings against convicts in the Peniten¬tiary shall be had," the present law l»e-ing inapplicable.Reference is made to the Adjutant

General's Report from which it appearsthat fifteen thousand soldiers medalshave been distributed and that eleventhousand are still on hand : that owiugto the disorganized condition of the!militia no returns can be made, andthat the county assessors should be re¬

quired to report to tho Adjutant Geucr-al the names of all persons in eachtownship subject to military duty.Attention is directed te tho report of

Messrs. Hubbard anil Cranmer relativeto the Autietam Xatioual Cemetery; ajrecommendation is nude, that seveu jpupils now in the "tho Institution forthe deaf aud dumb and the blind" at

Staunton, Virginia be provided for.CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO RAILBOAD.A majority of the Commissioners of

the Covington and Ohio railroad, ap¬pointed by an act of the Legislatnre,passed February 28, 1H67, in a commu¬nication addressed to me on the 4th ofJune last, and herewith exhibited, in¬formed me that, acting in conjunctionwith the Commissioners of Virginia,thoy had executed a contract with theVirginia Central Railroad Company forthe construction of the road from Cov¬ington to the Ohio river, and that bythis contract tho Virginia CentralRailroad and th* Covington andOhio railroad were to be consolidated,and known thereafter as the Chesa¬peake and Ohio railroad. This com¬

munication, however, docs not containthe terms of consolidation, nor have tbe^Commissioners reported the same to the-Boaidof Public Works as tho act eon-

tcmplates, but I suppose they will makea full report to the Legislature. 1 amnot aware that any further legislationin regard to this improvement will beasked for at your hands, but if it shallbe, I do not doubt that you will give tothe subject that consideration which its

importance demands, aud extend to thisgreat work such encouragement as mayin your judgment be just and liberalanil teud to iuHure and faeilitate it*speedy completion.The message states that Messrs. Berk¬

shire and Mclvin were appointed to

complete the revision of "the Code of\Vest Virginia" but owing tc the illnessofone of these gentluuieu, the work isnot completed. A report will probablybe made during tho present session. A

repwrt in regard to the exercise of thepardoning power is communicated.

t'SL'RV IAWH.

Allow meagaiu to call attention tothe usury law ofour State, and to re¬

peat a portion of what I said on tlx;hulijoct in a former message. This lawimposes heavy penalties for taking morethan six per cent interest, and is thesubject ofgreat complaint by the busi¬ness community generally. "It in con¬tended that experience bus proven thatsix per cent is not at all time* a snfli-cient consideration for the use of mon¬

ey, and that its price should bo left bylaw to the market, as any article of mer¬chandize. And in support of this prop¬osition the facts ar<- cited that largesums are borrowed by the United State*at more than fi percent; that some ot theStates have adopted a creator rate, whileothers, retaining the legal rate, allowmuch more to he taken on special con¬

tract. It is also claimed, and I believecorrectly, that person* engage*! in ac-tiro business are often willing, and canwell afford, to pay more than six percent, f >r money; that this being allowedby other States, not only preveita cap-ital from coming into our State, but ac¬

tually draws it from us; that men de¬siring to invest their means or enter in¬to bnsiness, seek locations where a moreliberal policy prevails; and thus we are

deprived of the »s« of much capital,and of the enterprise of many usefulcitizens, the result of which is neces¬

sarily to retard our prosperity. Andfinally, it is allirmed that this law is dis¬regarded and evaded by tho unscrupu¬lous, and that it is only operative to theprejudice of thr law abiding citizens.''

It is now asked, if the Legislaturewill not amend the law so as to allow;t greater rato of interest, that it lw no

modified aft to subject the lender to a

forfeiture of only t lie ncnn of interestover the legal rate which he may takeor contract for from the borrower. Isubmitting proportion foryvnr consid¬eration.The «|>eedy location of the State Cap¬

ital is recommended. The apecial elec¬tion for member of the Houae from Lewi*county, ia stated to hare been held lie-cause Mr. Woodford, the socceaaful can¬

didate, resigned, and Mr. Hajden, bisopponent, abandoned hi* pretention*.

immigration.The report of tbe Commissioner of

I Immigration is transmitted. Tbia offi¬cer is elaborately eulogized, and tbeLegislature reqneated to raise bia sal¬ary and pay bia "small debts" in Eu¬

ro]*. The Governor ia farther of tbe

opinion that a amall portion of tbe

means of tbe State conld not be naedmore beneficially than to derote it to

tbe further encouragement of immigra-t'on into ear mulat.

RrcoXHTRCCTlOJf.Tbe Governor reproduces bia former

approval of Congressional reconstruc¬

tion anJ thus concludes.I have Men no reason to change the

views thus expreaaed. I added in theume connection that "If tbe terma pr»-poaed are not accepted in tbe apirit inwhich they are tendered, tbia will man¬

ifest aucb a disregard fortbe legallycon-stitnted authority of tbe United fctnteiaa tuar aesru to reonire action ofa moredecided character."

It was tbe bonent hope and deair« oftbe patriot* of tbe country that tbepeople of the South would accept tbejjenerena and conciliatory u-rma con¬

tained in th; proposed amendment, andthaa put an end to tbe anomalona andunfurtuuate state of affairs resultingfiom tbe rebellion ; but in this we wire

disappointed ; the spirit of forbearanceand magnanimity thaa manifested bytbe people of tbecosntry, through theirrepresentatives, waa not appreciated, or

at least not regarded, but was indig¬nantly spurned and rejected. In tbiastate of things Congress cooId not dis¬regard tbe obligates resting opon It,to take aneb f_rther and more

decided action ». wonId euanrc

organisation in &. rebellionsStat that would protect the loyal peo¬ple, support the National authority, andspeedily restore those States to theirpractical relations to the Union. ThisCongress has endeavored to do by theseveral acts passed for that purpose.And, although the enforcement of theselaws has met with much opposition, andhas l>«en greatly obstructed and retard¬ed, yet it is believed that the werk ofreconstruction uuder them is makingsuccessful and certain progress in the

, ri^bt direction, and that era long wewill rejoice in a restoration that will

' bring with it reassured and permanent. harmony, prosperity aud happiuess to

all the land.To this end, while engaged in doing

whatever may tend to promote the in-| tereat? of our State and her people, wo

bheuld remember also that it is oarI bounden duty to sustain the Congress

of the United States iu its arduous andpatriotic effort* to fully accomplish thistreat work of reconduction, which ithas inaugurated and so uobly and faith¬fully maintained and prosecnWd to thepresent tiuie.The legislative authority of tho 8tate

I is in your hands for the present year.May au All-Wise l'rovideuce, who ralesiu the affairs of States as wellas of nieu,guide you in atl your deliberatious.
