In our judgment nothing remains Of your long
past controversy that ought To perpetuate enmi-

GoYERNoRs, MESSAGES.

IND1ANAPoLIs, Jan. 9.-Gov. Wright read his
Message to the House this afternoon.
The Senate adjourned, but did not go into
joint convention with the House.
The Message shows the expenses Of the State
government for the year of 1856 to have been
Sl47, 442, and for 1856, $780, a3. Itdenounces
in severe terms the new State Bank, and recon-
mends that the charter be expunged from the
statute books, and that all connection between
the Bank and State, either by deposit or other
wise, be prohibited.
BosroN, Jan. Gov. Gardiner's Message
was delivered this afternoon. It refers to the
result of the Presidential election. He charges
the result TO the influence Of foreign born votes.
The Governor INDUCES in bright hopes for free
Kansas, yet, speaking of the result of the cleo
ton, says so far step has been taken which
may require generation to retrace. Our
citizens have a better assurance knowing
that that decision has been made by the casting
votes of aliens entirely ignorant OF our institu-
tions, and grossly callOnS to the vast interest
involved in this stupendous issue. The educa-
tional, industrial, and financial condition of the
Commonwealth are satisfactory. Expenditures Of
the state were fifty.six million four hundred and
seventeen thousand dollars.

the coach from that place was being driven to

that their feet and legs were unusually warm,
and Oninvestigating the cause, they found that
the straw in the bottom of the vehicle was on

pat heated brick in the stage to keep her feet
warm, by which means the straw became igni-

THr Washington, Pa, Examiner of lest night,
contains the following paragraph: "Gen. Wash

Der, 1893. It's a fact not generally known, that
he drew his last breath in the last hour in the
last day of the year of the last century"
Such is not fact, for Gen. Washington died
on the l4th of December, between 10 and II P.
NJ. Neither was the last day of the week of that
year the Sist of December The s1st came on
Tuesday. Neither was 1899 the last year of the
