The Governors Message.

Coy. Pratt delivered his annual message
TO the Legislature on Tuesday. TIL follows
ing abstract OF it we take from The Balt.
more Sun
"Ihe Governor opened his communIca>
ton with a reference TO the struggle in
which the State has been engaged for the
re-establisImento tot her pecuniary faith, and
congraIula,es the Legislature upon the man
fest capacity Of HE Safe TO resume pay
melts al the time appoilted--lhc first Of
January ensuing. He refers to the appre-
tensions entertained under the resumption
law of the last session, lest the amount TO
be funded should exceed that which the
existing tax laws might produce; but has
the qualification TO state that there has been
paid in coupons, up TO the first of December
sufficient sum 10 reduce the arrears of
interest TO be funded to 5000 600 and that
therefore, all aPprehensions upon this ground
may be relieved. His ExceIIency speaks
Of the importance Of the adequacy of the
existing revenue system TO MAINTAIN the
public faith and examines the subject i'll
detail, 1t is submitted, that the ordinary
expenses of the State. with the interest TO
be paid Oh the public and funded debt Of
the State. will amount 10 about 1891, l2l an
nually. lie then adverts to the gross re-
ceipts of the treasury during the past year,
amounting to more than $1,000, 900, as a
fact in point, without urging the conclusive
ness ofthe argument; but contends that the
amount which will flow from all other sour.
ces, except the direct tax, in future, must
exceed the receipts OF The past year. The
receipts from the direct tax have however,
exceeded the estimate of the treasurer $269,
S21, making the actual receipts from that
socrce $7G9S2i. They are estimated for
the ensuing year al $300,00O
The Governor then proceed S 10 an est-
mate the receipts from other sources, and
referring to the lottery system in deprecatory
terms. but approves the policy of drawing
as much from it as possible while it exists.
The amount 10 be derived from this source
for the two years next ensuing, is estimated
at Sd 900 per anum.
Passing from this subject, and merely
abiding TO some of the minor sources, of
revenue from which however an increased
receipt is anticipated, the Governor introdu-
ces the Baltimore and Susquehanna Rail
road as source from which may be ex-
pected in the ensuing year, S6s,000 The
State being entitled 10 the whole net re-
ceipts, and having entire conlo. of its affairs
