Hie weight of these charges is confessed by the la- K.red etfort at their refutation, whiki Their force is in «« *»J broken b>' *"y thing that is said. The partisan policy that has imposed uiilitaiy government on a portion of ourSta e i. upheld by the stair and senseless babble about lawlessness on the part of the people who have been outraged by that goxernment. No nu- prejudiced man will believe, iu the face of 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 the lawn in that region. The exception was a ease of jail delivery. It had its par- alUl iu the sinilsr occmrence at Mor- j gautow u, and tioope might have been went 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 very easv matter for interested parties to convince the Governor who » auU to be convinced, and hence listens to but, cne side, but it is not so easy to con¬ vince the public, who want solid /act, j not partisan assertions. j Judged by its results, we contend that the presence of troops iu the locality 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, with three honorable discharges, has sued the Board of Registration for disfran¬ chising him. Similar disfranchisements j abound in that county. If this is the j fruit of bayonet 1 ule, we should say that it encouraged, rather than suppressed, acts of lawless \ iolence. The same ma, be said of Harbour and its adjoining couuius. The very man who induced the Govmoi to send troops to that county, is now a member ol' the Legislature, by the disfran- j cbiseuient of several hundred men whose names were strlckeu «ff throng 1 the intervention of the uiilitary. Sup pose the President of the Ohio county Board of Registration were to desire to be elected to the Legislature. And suppose he! were to notify five or six hundred Democrat* here to appear before him | with proof of their "loyalty," on pain of disfranchisement The result would occasion a degree of discontent on the part of all parties, uneqealled by any¬ thing yet witness Ml in Barbour. Would that justify the interposition of the bayouetf And yet. while the people here would hardly »ubrnit>> such wrongs, the people of Barbour did and do sub- mit to the injustice doue tliem, and that with a forbearance that is the best proof of their innoceuce of the Gov- ernor's charge. Were they to any ex-' tent the lav. less people he declares them, the now unprotected Registrars who have disgraced theui could not re¬ main in their midst. Nevertheless, those officers pass to and fro through¬ out the county without harm, and without 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 message in a thoroughly partisan spirit. The high taxes are attributed mainly to the frree School system, and are claimed to have been brought about by the people them¬ selves. At the same time, it is admit¬ ted that the State taxes due from a large portion of West Virginia have been re¬ mitted, aud, of course, the deficiency must have been made good by the "loy¬ al" portious of the 8taie. In other wards, many counties have been ren* dered unproductive by proscription, aud their sb arc of the public burdens has boon imposed upon tbeir uiore prosper ous neighbors. In this connection the Governor makes no mention of the extravagance that spent §28,000 for soldiers' medals, I or the simplicity that entrusted more than $40,000 to his charge as "Civil Contingent 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 numberless paid officers employed to euforoe the system, and the dishonesty of the men charged with the keeping of the school funds. The confessed delinquency of a Marshall county official to the extent of several thousand dollars is too recent 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 that the public money has taken. Radical¬ ism is rotten through aud through, aud its natural results, dishonest officials, are greatly responsible for the com¬ plaints about taxes. It is not because school houses are being built that the people nre gioaniug, but because office¬ holders are plundering aud thieving. The universal cry is that school houses are not built, that teachers are not em¬ ployed, and that children are nut taught, while the tax-gatherer collects money almost without limit for edncational purposes. And thus we might consider the mes¬ sage, item by item, aud show it to be the shallowest demagognery possible. We may refer to it agaiD, but in the meantime 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."

'V, *r """ Gentlemen of tlie Senat* and of the Bouse of Delegate* : Order has reigned durtng the year throughout the greater part of the State. In two or three localities, however, peace has been disturbed, the laws have been set at uaught and the sis'ed, aud, indeed, forcibly driven away from the peformatice of their During the war, aud siuce, there has been a band of armed rebeb m the counties of Wayne and .Wan, led by a fellow known and notorious "Captain Bill Smith," murdering, robbing an ; plundering the people ofjagoo. Borne of this band were indicted in the courts for various ofiences, and I was urged to offer rewards for them. X finally (in November, l*b(>,) did ofie r large reward for the apprehens.on of Smith himself, but the civil officers had not force sufficient him. and he was regarded as snett a desperado that others o not undertake it, even for the reward rf- fercd. aud this proved unavailing, fa¬ ring last winter, this band, stveral times, robbed peaceful citizens and com¬ mitted other depredations in county, aud near the first ofMarch, by force and violence, they putthcofficer* of the county iu fear and drove'the awav from the performance of their (in ties at the court house, the latter teel- in" themselves unsafe in resuming their offices without protection; and again, this band took possession of the Jan, overpowered tliejailor, put hiiu under restraint, and released one of their asso¬ ciates, who was coHtined t jerein on a criminal charge. . It was also made known to me, uv evidence that I could uot disregard, that the State aud other taxes couldnol be safely collected iu a considerable (por¬ tion of the county, unless thecollertinK officers had protection and aid. Lnder these circumstances. and upon the cent application of officers and otner good citizens of the eounties interested. Tasked the. proper authorities of the United States for a small body of troops, aud a compauy was sent into Wayne county early in the bpnng-a d^toc^ ment being afterwards s ationsd at Logan Court House. These trooBf.Mve remained in that portion of the State until the present time, and since they have been there the peace of the com¬ munity has been preserved and the*ot- ticrrs "have uninterruptedly performed their duties. In Logan eountyghere had been 110 taxes collected sine* the war, except a few hundred dollars in a small portion of the county. In .other portions of the county, there Sictt many that had returned from the rebel aruiy, l>rinicini{ their .nr. y.jh who denied the authority of the gtaUj, Govern meat, and utterly refused to pay taxes for its support, or for the suVP«rt of the county organization uiidtf it, and threatened to resist with arm* and to the death, if the collection of taxes should be attempted. Tho consetpeuce was that no officer would go into those portions of the county, and, indeed, no person could be induced to hold an office in tho county which de¬ volved on him tho collection of the- taxes. Siuce the troops have beejf sta¬ tioned in thecounty, the taxes of have all beeu collected and paid into the Treasury, which, I am aspired, cf>u Id not have been done had there W«P no troops there. I think 1 am not in error when 1 express the opinion that the bet¬ ter portion of the people of the «g»» interested, without regard to political parties, are now satisfied that *h©««. cumstauces demanded troops, andfthat their presence has greatly conduced to tho security of life and property and to- the promot ion of the peace and harmony, and, by consequence, the prosperity of the community. In another section of the Slate.1H tho three adjoining counties of Ran¬ dolph Tucker and Barbour.there have been very decided manifestations of op- position to tho execution of the regis¬ try law during tho year. In the two former, officers and other Lnion men who took an interest in and supported the registration of voters, were threat¬ ened and menaced by open demonstra¬ tions. and also by written con}.""lc»* tions, in ahich they were notified to leave the country or they must suffer m- iurv to their persons aud property; in conseqneuceof which many officers were intimidated and resigned, and it has been with much difficulty that persons could be induced to take upon them- selves the execution of the law. In the latter part of September I was offici¬ ally informed that tho subordinate offi¬ cers of registration in Barbour county w ei e opposed by such force ami violence that, unaided, they could not proceed in the discharge of their duties; that in three townships they had been actually set upon and assaulted.in some instan¬ ces with fire-arms. and forcibly d»^e" awav; and threats were made tbat lie Count v Board would not be allowed To sit for'tlie business enjoined npon them b\ the law, with an apparent determi¬ nation on the part of those making the threats to carry them into execution. These facts were represented to me by the President of 1 lie Board of Regiatra- t ion and others of the most intepigent aud respectable citizens of the county, who concurred in and expressed the opinion that with¬ out the aid and protection of -the military 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 this would probably continue the irritation and unkind feeling among them after the necessity for their armed assistant, which was "believed to be temporary, should pass away. I therefore ca led on the proper authorities for a few l.nited States troops for the emergency and thev were promptly furnished, and sta¬ tioned at Phillipi. After their amral the execution of the law proceeded without interruption. They remained until after the election, when, on my suggestion, 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 may be expedient to promote the interests of ("loyalty" soldiers will be used.

The message bora diseases the ques¬ tion of high taxes and ollleial extrav¬ agance and attributes the whole trouble jto the bounties and the Free School ¦ystem. It assert that for these "patri¬ otic and philanthropic purposes" the i people have taxed themselves, and that th* State is not responsible therefor. It argues that the rate of taxation for general State purposea-^-tbirty cents on the one hundred dollars . is less than that in many States and greater than the rate iu any; that the war pre- Teuted the collection of even this much in many localities, and that tbe Legisla¬ tor© "in a laudable spirit of magnanim¬ ity" had released the taxes chargeable to £be rebellions counties from 1861 to 1-64 inclusive, thus throwing an undue pro¬ portion of the bnrdeu upon tbo "loyal"' localities. Furthermore ia the duty of wrryiu&on the State Government, pio- tccting citizens and constructing pub¬ lic buildings it has been necessary to jBcQr such extraordinary expenses as th(« following. $400,000 paid for the services, traus- portatiou and supplies of the militia and other State forces, during the war, and ia defraying expenses of recruits for the jjftlted States volunteer service, which, Ills expected, will soon be re-imbursed bv^the United States; about $200,000 for tbe Hospital of the Insane, at Weston; .URhOOO for the Penitentiary; near $50.- OQp for expenses of lunatics in the Assy- ltms of Virginia; and otbers of a like character may be seen by reference to the Auditor's Report.

I fA* required by an Act, passed Febru¬ ary -2-, WH7, I appointed a Board, con- UfaitjHp of one mrtuber from each Sena- korial District, to eqaalize the asaess- Jmeat of tli£ valtre of the lands of the ;State as between tbe several counties, who met in the city of Wheeling at the time proscribed in the Act, and proceed¬ ed to diScUgufto the duty required to be perfortned by them conjointly: and after 'tbey kad coucluded their labors they filedHheir report with tlio Auditor, and, as uvay be seen, he bas incoporated the aam« iuio Lis Annual Keport to the Leg¬ islature. Wh ilA this Board performed the duty enjohicd upon them, and, no doulit, fawl.r and satisfactorily equalized the tKessuient of the lands as between the eotuitics, yet it was not within their pwince, under the Act conferring their antfaority, to equalize the assessment as belweeji the different proprietors of lapds ituatc in the same county, and of course they did not undertake to do so; nor is there any provision of law under which such equalization can be effected. Yoi} will see from the Auditor's Keport ¦fliit he calls attention to this subject, and recommends that county boanis of [.oualization be provided for at the present session. Lj The act of February 21, lsTU, under which the reassessment of lands was Blade in that year, provided that any person feeling himself aggrieved by the asscssmentof his lands, might appl/ to the board of supervisors for redress. course no person applied to have the Valuation of his lauds increased; and Bjy information is, tbat this provision Of the law has been perverted from its) priginal purpose, and the authority con¬ ferred by it on tlie supervisors has been pnch abased in some counties, by the reduction of the assessed value of lands far below what it should be for the pur- Eof taxation; and, in somo in- fces, below the valuation on which s been taxed for many years. I call your attention to this matter, and sug- gest tbat it be inquired into and the wrong corrected. Evidence on the sub¬ ject may be found in tbc Auditor's of¬ fice. The message expects an early decis¬ ion of the case from Marshall county new bvfore the Court of Appeals in re¬ gard to the right of the State to tax the Bait imorcand Ohio Railroad, sets no reason why the amount due West Vir¬ ginia, for military expenses uiay not soon be paid, inasmuch as the Commis- bnv e reported, aiiil states that the .'Com¬ missioners lo treat with Virginia in re¬ gard to the pnblie debt of tbat State" have not been appointed because the question of jurisdiction over the conntii s of Berkeley and Jtfferson bas not been decided, and because "in the present condition of affairs in Virginia" a set¬ tlement could hardly be had.

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 September SK>, 1S6T. At that time no portion of (he building, in addition to that heretofore used, had been com¬ pleted, bnt I now have the safc-| jsfaction of stating that an additional; section, containing room sufficient for one 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 be completed by the first of April next, when there will be comfortable accom¬ modations for two hundred and twenty- fire patients. And this will have been accomplished with ibe appropriations heretofore made, and no more money far the completion of this portion of fee building is asked fur. Tbe medical ooperintendent has already, under the timely and appropriate instructions of fbo Board of Directors, transferred forty of the lunatics of this State from ibe Asylum at Staunton. Virginia, to Weotoo; and a number have also been ftroagbt in from the jai!s ia different porta of the State, where they have been uncomfortably, vet necessarily, coo tined for longer or shorter periods. * I commend to your consideration the gCTerol matters suggested in this report ¦anqoring legislation; only oat or two of which, however, I shall not ice special¬ ly. One of tbeae is tbe revision of tbo lows io regard to Asylenis as tliey ore- found among tbe old statute*, which are regarded as mnch more voluminous than necessary, and may, probably, be simplified and better adapted to tbe regulation of our Asylum by being re¬ vised and condensed. Another recom¬ mendation is that tbe construction of the central section of the Hospital building, according to tbs original de¬ sign, and fer which the foundation was laid prior to IStil, shall l>e renewed and prosecnted to completion, at a cost of eighty thousand dollars, and that an ap¬ propriation be made for that pur¬ pose. By looking into the report the members of the Legislature may see the reasons assigned foi this recommenda¬ tion . the wisdom and foree »f which none can question. While I do not feel at liberty, under all the circumstances, to urge thiu matter upon you, I submit it for such actiou as your better judg¬ ments may dictate. It may also be seen that the Board of Directors invite a thorough and search¬ ing investigation in regard to the con stiuctioQ of the building and the inter¬ nal management of tbu Hospital, aud also into the expenditures of each; and, while I know the board to be composed of gentlemen of superior intelligence and of the highest integrity, yet, in order that there may n« longer be auy pretext or excuse for such statements as 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 report thereof made to the Legislature, and published for tbe information of the public. ntr.K schools. The Auuual Report of the General Superintendent of Free Schools shows that continued and very encouraging progress is being made in extending and establishing the free school system in our State, ilia visits to different portions of the State have atTorded him an opnortuuity of acquiring a general knowledge of what has been done in this interesting work, but on account of the 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 from only twenty-nine counties. It appears that in these connties thero have been three hundred and sixty-three school houses built during the year, and the General Superintendent estimates the whole number in the Stato within the same time at nut less than four hun¬ dred and that the number built within the three years since tbe system was in¬ augurated approximates one thousand; aud, while many of these are very ordi¬ nary structures, many display tho good taste and liberality of the neighbor¬ hoods where they are located, and still others are superior in architecture and are supplied with tho most modem and convenient stylo of school furniture. In addition to the local taxes, there wasj distributed among the counties, on the 1st of April, l^i7, the sum of $l?r>,- (KtO from the State sriiool fund, and tbe sum 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 relied on, no doubt for the future, without any increase in taxation. I Tlio Governor declares that {these re- | suits have been attained iti the midst of financial embarransment and in spite of j prejudices, bnt that tlio prejudices in question are fast dying out. The high taxes connected with the system ho i contends, are merely temporary, being levied chiefly for btiilding purposes. They are imposed by tho people theui- ' selves and if they are dissatisfied they can eloct officers who in ill levy less money. Nevertheless he has "too milch confidence 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 school officers 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 feu schollars, scattered over a large extent of territory, a'ld these cannot be brought together in large school*, as can be dono 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 former than 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 and the number of children both, be taken j into consideration in the distribution 'of the fund among the townships, and it seems to me that the suggestion is a i gi>od one, and that the law fhoild be amended accordingly. NORMAL SCHOOLS. The Regents of the State Normal School have been appointed as required by law; "Marshall College" at Guyau- dotte, "a very commodious and comfort¬ able building" has been purchased lor "the contemplated School," and the West Liberty Academy, in Ohio County haa been bought with a view to the es¬ tablishment of a branch of the State institution. The Academy needs re¬ pairs, and both concerns want money and teachers. The "West Virginia Nor¬ mal School*' at Fairmont is said to hare made considerable progress, and all these 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 hundred and 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 appointed cnttodian of the college funds. miTLTiuir. The Report of the Board of Directors of the Penitentiary, exhibits the pro gTe»s of the work on that structure, the amount of money drawn on the orders of the Board from the Treasury, and the amount and items of expenditure. It is accompanied by the Reports of the Treasurer, Superintendent and attend¬ ing Physician. It may be seen from tbe Rejwrt of the Directors, that there was a balance of .*> of former appropriations remaining unexpended September 30, l»57t and that a further appropriation ef 175,000 is recommend¬ ed: with thii it is expected to erect tbe walls enclosing tbe grounds and com¬ plete tbe bailding to answer present ueccMikea, and it will then be for fu¬ ture Legislature* to determine whether any, and what character of, additions shall 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, who I 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 order that a report thereou may be made, and published for the information and satis¬ faction of the Legislature and the pnb- lic; aud it seems to me proper that their request 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 appears that fifteen thousand soldiers medals have been distributed and that eleven thousand are still on hand : that owiug to the disorganized condition of the! militia no returns can be made, and that the county assessors should be re¬ quired to report to tho Adjutant Geucr- al the names of all persons in each township subject to military duty. Attention is directed te tho report of Messrs. Hubbard anil Cranmer relative to the Autietam Xatioual Cemetery; aj recommendation is nude, that seveu j pupils now in the "tho Institution for the 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 of June last, and herewith exhibited, in¬ formed me that, acting in conjunction with the Commissioners of Virginia, thoy had executed a contract with the Virginia Central Railroad Company for the construction of the road from Cov¬ ington to the Ohio river, and that by this contract tho Virginia Central Railroad and th* Covington and Ohio railroad were to be consolidated, and known thereafter as the Chesa¬ peake and Ohio railroad. This com¬ munication, however, docs not contain the 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 make a full report to the Legislature. 1 am not aware that any further legislation in regard to this improvement will be asked for at your hands, but if it shall be, I do not doubt that you will give to the subject that consideration which its importance demands, aud extend to this great work such encouragement as may in your judgment be just and liberal anil 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 illness of one of these gentluuieu, the work is not completed. A report will probably be made during tho present session. A repwrt in regard to the exercise of the pardoning power is communicated. t'SL'R V IAWH. Allow meagaiu to call attention to the usury law of our State, and to re¬ peat a portion of what I said on tlx; hulijoct in a former message. This law imposes heavy penalties for taking more than six per cent interest, and is the subject of great complaint by the busi¬ ness community generally. "It in con¬ tended that experience bus proven that six per cent is not at all time* a snfli- cient consideration for the use of mon¬ ey, and that its price should bo left by law to the market, as any article of mer¬ chandize. And in support of this prop¬ osition the facts ar<- cited that large sums are borrowed by the United State* at more than fi percent; that some ot the States have adopted a creator rate, while others, retaining the legal rate, allow much more to he taken on special con¬ tract. It is also claimed, and I believe correctly, that person* engage*! in ac- tiro business are often willing, and can well afford, to pay more than six per cent, f >r money; that this being allowed by 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 more liberal policy prevails; and thus we are deprived of the »s« of much capital, and of the enterprise of many useful citizens, the result of which is neces¬ sarily to retard our prosperity. And finally, it is allirmed that this law is dis¬ regarded and evaded by tho unscrupu¬ lous, and that it is only operative to the prejudice of thr law abiding citizens.'' It is now asked, if the Legislature will 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 interest over the legal rate which he may take or contract for from the borrower. I submitting 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, bis opponent, abandoned hi* pretention*. immigration. The report of tbe Commissioner of I Immigration is transmitted. Tbia offi¬ cer is elaborately eulogized, and tbe Legislature 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 naed more 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 an J thus concludes. I have Men no reason to change the views thus expreaaed. I added in the ume connection that "If tbe terma pr»- poaed are not accepted in tbe apirit in which they are tendered, tbia will man¬ ifest aucb a disregard fortbe legallycon- stitnted authority of tbe United fctntei aa tuar aesru to reonire action of a more decided character." It was tbe bonent hope and deair« of tbe patriot* of tbe country that tbe people of the South would accept tbe jjenerena and conciliatory u-rma con¬ tained in th; proposed amendment, and thaa put an end to tbe anomalona and unfurtuuate state of affairs resulting fiom tbe rebellion ; but in this we wire disappointed ; the spirit of forbearance and magnanimity thaa manifested by tbe people of tbecosntry, through their representatives, waa not appreciated, or at least not regarded, but was indig¬ nantly spurned and rejected. In tbia state 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 &. rebellions Stat that would protect the loyal peo¬ ple, support the National authority, and speedily restore those States to their practical relations to the Union. This Congress has endeavored to do by the several acts passed for that purpose. And, although the enforcement of these laws has met with much opposition, and has l>«en greatly obstructed and retard¬ ed, yet it is believed that the werk of reconstruction uuder them is making successful and certain progress in the , ri^bt direction, and that era long we will 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 oar I bounden duty to sustain the Congress of the United States iu its arduous and patriotic effort* to fully accomplish this treat work of reconduction, which it has inaugurated and so uobly and faith¬ fully maintained and prosecnWd to the present tiuie. The legislative authority of tho 8tate I is in your hands for the present year. May au All-Wise l'rovideuce, who rales iu the affairs of States as wellas of nieu, guide you in atl your deliberatious.

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.

I fA* required by an Act, passed Febru¬ary -2-, WH7, I appointed a Board, con-

fces, below the valuation on whichs been taxed for many years. I call

your attention to this matter, and sug-gest tbat it be inquired into and thewrong corrected. Evidence on the sub¬ject may be found in tbc Auditor's of¬fice.The message expects an early decis¬

ion of the case from Marshall countynew bvfore the Court of Appeals in re¬

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.
