Governors Message.

This document is a concise statement of the
workings of the several departments of our
State Government, together with many prac-
tical recommendations to the Legislature
upon the subject of the government of the
State Prison and Chinese immigration. The
following is his statement Of the State fnan-
ces:
With all our apparent prosperity as a
State, our finances are in condition, to say
the least, far from fattering. The present
Administration received the Government
from the hands of its predecessors largely in
debt, from which it has been impossible to
extricate it. The reports of the State Treas
urer and the State Controller present mi
mute detail of our financial condition on the
lst day of December last, from which it ape
pears that the total State debt on that day

Resolutions on the Proclamation.

On the first dav Of the organization OF the
Legislature, resolutions were introduced IN
both Houses endorsing the Emancipation
Proclamation. which. after some objections
having been made i,v some OF the conditional
Union men, passed the Senate by vote ef3l
to S-Senator ShurtieG voting in the negative.
The resolutions were then sent to the As
sembEy and laid over to the 10th, on which
day they came M, and passed, as amended
by Mr.. Sandtrson, as follows:
Resolrea. By the Senate, the Assembly con-
curing. That the loyal State of California re-
ceives with earnest favor the recent Procla
nation of Freedoms issued by the President
of the United States as Commanderin Chief
Of the army an navy. regarding the meas
ure as necessary for the success of the efforts
of the Government for the suppression of a
desperate and wicked rebellion, and the re-
establishment If its authority, consistent with
the laws of war. and iui of promise for the
future pei imanence. unity and prosperity of
tie nation aud we l:ere',y pledge to the meas
are the cordial support OF the people Of Cali
Rornia.

to forward a capv of these resolutions TO the

The resolutions were Immediately sent to
the Senate. and passed., as amended, by a
large majority.
On the day the first resolutions were in
troduced in the Senate, Senator Shurtleff rose
in his place and offered substitute, in which
the proclamation was declared to be unwise,
impolitic, and against the spirit of the insttu-
tions established by our fathers. His sub
stitute was rejected by vote of 80 to s. Our
Senator sustained his substitute in a speech,
the tone of which shows he is in earnest in
his opposition to this necessary war measure
of the President. 1t is altogether probable
that the substitute was presented by our
Senator as the preliminary step for organiz-
ing a Democratic party for the coming cam
paign.
We feel warranted in saying that the
course pursued by Senator Shurtleff on the
freedom resolutions. is in direct opposition to
constituents. We shall recur to this sub
ject.
