affairs were never more fully and clearly set

executive upon almost every subject they can be
called upon to legislate.
The MESSAGES an able and explicit one, worthy

State. We commend it to the careful perusal of
our readers, assuring them it viii well repay such
peFusal, notwithstanding its length. We have
no room for extended comments this week.

WENDELL PHILLIPS Notwithstanding
standing the ill>natured and untimely remarks
of our neighbor of the Times, last week, the spas
cious Odd Fellows Hall was crowded by an in-
telgent and respectable audience to listen to
the Lecture of Wendell Phillips on Thursday
evening last
We have seldom listened to more eloquent
and pleasing discourse. There was no treason,
NO startling doctrine put forth to shock the
nerves of the most fastdious. The speaker was
at home upon his subject, and treated it in calm
dispassonate manner. that carried conviction
with it perforce. The impression left upon
his audience will not be soon forgotten.

The Message wss delivered before the two
Houses on Friday by Gov. Randall in person.
The Legislature bias gone to work in good
earnest as though it meant to ensure q short
session by doing up the business before it at once
We hope this will be the case. No amount O,
legislation at the present time can compensate
for long and expensive session. The people
want to see an earnest ofgood faith in the officers
and Legislators they have elected, in the curtail-
ment of the enormous expenses of the State Gov
eminent, and consequent reduction of taxes.
A good beginning was made by the adoption
OF the following resolution; which was offered
in the Senate on Friday last.
Resolved, That neither house will act on anv
business that may now by law be acted on by
the Boards Of Supervisors of counties, or by any
otthe Courts OF the State, or that is provided for
by any general laws.
= lfthis is lived up to it will shorten the session
one half, for full that proportion of each session
has heretofore been consumed in purely local
legislation.

EE We are requested to call the
special attention of our readers to the
advertisement of CHARLES M. FOWLER,
in our columns this week, in reference
to the necessity he is under of stopping
his Grist Mill. Weregret this, because
in a county where milling facilities are
so few as they are in this county,we be-
lieye the accommodation to the com
munity is greater than the profits to the
proprietor of such mill. We think 1t
short-sighted policy on the part of those
who are equally interested with then
neighbors, in having grist mill conve'
nient to them, to insist upon such terms
for lands overflowed, as will call for the
destruction of the mill.

nication to the Board of Education of this city ),
signed Jno. Gridley, which would seem to re-
quire some explanation. He says the assess
ment by the Common Council for the present
year, for school purposes, is $12,287.40, from
which is to be deducted for last years deficit,
building scrip and interest, 1882 40, leaving
81 ,S05 90 as Fstrictly the sum it costs the pres
ent year to conduct our schools" He then goes
on to say that the amount received frsm the
State, County, &c, is $3,2l5. 90, which leaves
81 $50 90 as "the amount to be raised by the
city for school purposes properly the present
year" Now if 81 $50 is all that is necessary to
be raised for school purposes the present year,as
appears to be the fact from Mr.. Gridley's own
showing, why does the City Council raise ST.
905, or $3,215 more than appears necessary
What is the objectl and what is to be done
with the money
| can, however, hardly believe that the Coun-
Gil would be willing to burden the city with an
unnecessary tax amounting to $3,2l5 if the nee
essities of the school had been fairly represented
to it.
But this is not the whole of this matter; and
will endeavor TO show, by taking Mr.. Jno.
Gridley's own figures, that there is very much
