Of the People of our State, as is provided for IN
our present Constitution. True, this instrument
does not absolutely require vote to be taken
for or against holding such Convention TILL
"the General Election to be held III the year
1906" but such vote may also be taken lat
such time as the Legislature may by law pro-
vide;" and we could wish that the present Legis-
laturc would provide for taking a vote on the
question next Fall, so that the Convention may
be chosen and holden in 1866 If the People shall
so decide. We have no faith in any legislative
tinkering of our glaringly vicious judicial ma
chinery, and no desire that time be wasted IN
schemes that cannot fail to prove delusive.
Let us 60 to the root of the matter, and so soon
as may be. The Constitution is defective in
other vital points, but we want to have Con-
vention if only to give us chance for justice III

GOV. RENTON,s MESSAGE.

The loyal people of our State must be grail
fed with the heartily and thoroughly patriotic
tone Of their new Governors Message, and the
very signal change therein eyinced from that to
which they have been for two years accustomed
without becoming at all reconciled. Anxious
for an carly Peace, they are aware that it can
only Dc achieved through the most ample pro-
vision of means for the continuance Of the War,
and they desire their Chief Magistrate to in
spire, impel and direct, not discourage, embar.
rass and paralyze, their efforts TO this end.
Gov. Fenton will herein fulfill their just expecta-
tons.
The cheerful, confident tone Of the Message,
with regard to the approaching Issue OF our great
struggle and tho ability and Willingness OF our
people to bear the heavy burdens it imposes,
also presents gratifying contrast to the inclina-
tons and spirit Of our late Governor. Gov.
Fenton regards our resources and industrial
capacities rs scarcely diminished and their
vitality as not at all impaired by the incessant
requirements of this gigantic War. We COM
mend his remarks CD this head to the careful
consideration Of our readers. So of what he
saws under the heads of Finances, Canals, Edu-
cation, Agriculture, Immigration, &C., &c.
There are one OF two minor suggestions Of the
Message in which we do not concur. That of
bench of Commissioners of Appeals h among
them. That lin a multitude Of Counsellors
there is safety we can understand; but that
multiplication Of judges will conduce to the
dispatch Of indirect business, we donOt believe.
In our Judgment, a reduction Of the number Of
Judges Of Appeals from eight to three, or at most
to five, would far more conduce to the end con-
templated, especially if those judges we're to be
selected by the Governor from among twice the
number of candidates presented to him by q
majority of the lawyers who shall have been for
ten or more years annually employed as advo.
Gates in that Court. But we doubt whether the
glazing defects of our Judicial system can be
cured by anything loss than a radical reform,
which can only be effected through convention

on Hon. DANIEL s. DICKINSON Of Binghamton,

lawyer and whose years of service IN our old

then as Lieut.. Governor were recognized o.
emincntly qualifying him for the position Mr.
Dickinson, however, positively declined II;

trust, has consented 10 accept. Mr.. Porter was

holders Rebellion, but has ever since been one
Of the most devoted, uncompromising supporters
of the Government and the War for the Union.
The Bar Of our State will hail this selection
with enthusiasm. our Judges ara quite too
often selected from among those lawyers who,
however capable and worthy, have small sue
cess in securing practice, and who are placed on
the bench either as a reward for supposed serv-
ice 20 their party or as an act OF political char
~. But Mr. Porter IL WIDELY known nS one o'
our very ahlsst and most successful pracuuon-

ruple tho salary of a Judge of Appeals, aud
who. in the midst of brilliant and most sue
cessiul career, surrenders future clearly within
mis- grasp to serve aud honor the State in her
highest judicial tribunal. We thank him for
making the sacrifice, and thank the Governor
for having invited him to make it. We cannot
help believing that, if the bench of that Court
were filled by such men, il would be found pos
sible to reduce its enormous calendar, without
putting out its business to nurse with unconsti'
tntional Commissions.

The Message of the newly-chosen Radical Gov

The Message ofthe newly -chosen Radical Gov
ernor of Missouri, whereof synopsis appears
in our columns to-day, is evidently one OF the
squarest and soundest documents ever addressed
to Legislature assembled in Jefferson City.
We ask all who read it to remember that Gov.
Fletcher was elected over Conservative lof
Slavery by the largest majority ever gwen to
any Governor Of Missouri, and that his sweep
ing condemnation of Slavery and demand that
every vestige of support or cOuntenanec to that
institution of Satan be promptly eiiaced
from the statute book.of that state, is the en-
bodiment Of conviction burned into the loyal
people of Missouri by their terrible experience
during the last four eventful years. Whatever
others may imagine or pretend, they kno'o that
Slavery and the Rebellion are parent and child,

their deaths they are not to be divided. VINO

THE CONTROLLER's REPORT.

The burden of Controller Robinson's clearly
written report is Economy. Setting forth tho
necessity of wary expenditure, which the times
impose upon us, he declares, nevertheless, that
"neyer before have such lavish appropriations by
the Legislature and such extravagant expendi-
lures in private life been known as during the
continuance of this desOlating and exhausting
struggle for national life" The financial pre-
sentiment which follows, though it indicates the
vast strength and resources of the State, is such
as may well give us pause in this mad career.
New-York has spent Of its own funds, on ac-
count of the war, moro than $l4,OOO,OOO; OF
which sum S9,O76,37 a. were for bountieS
from 1862 to 1864, inclusive. A great part OF
this has been simply wasted, because the State
bounties, large as they prove in the aggregate,
were small in comparison to the local bounties,
and had but little influence in recruiting.
less excusable extravaganza arises from large
appropriation for local purposes.
The receipts of the last fiscal year were esti-
mated at Ss.650,s sos 50, and the expenses s5,-
5I3, 600 81; but while the actual receipts were
reduced to S7,7s7, 336 Sc, the actual expenses
were increased to Ss,65I 1851 90; and there was
a deficiency on the Both Sep, 1864, of Ss63,-
sI4 g.. This large falling of was owing mainly
to delay in receiving the tax due from the City OF
New.York. For the present fiscal year, ending
Sep. 80, 1865, receipts are estimated at SS,7O3,
s2i ~; expenses, S9,3l4,7Il 10; expected sur
plus, $3.50, - 81.
The entire debt Of tho State is s2a, 72o,724 60;
Of which So, 44I, 80 90 belong TO the Canals,
and 81. 27e 95i 81 to the General Fund. Within
the last four years the principal has been re.
duced 81, 80, 25l %.
The Canal receipts are S4,3i6, 80 %, against
81. liz ,5Ol IS last year. There is continued
decrease in the revenues aud increase IN the
expenditures and it is probable resort must be

quirtments Of the sinking fund.
IL is estimated that u tax Of ll-l6 mills

good reason why the tax should exceed the ratio

The militia law Of 1852 has caused great eH-
pensca and been of little profit. The new reg-
menu exist mainly on paper, and half what has
been paid on their account would have
increased much more the efficiency of the
old regiments. The new law In fact has proysd
IAN expensive failure" Last year the amount
actually appropriated was S550O0O, though
only $500, 900 were asked for. The Controller
recommends more exact system Of auditing
these accounts.
Tie tax laws, tine sale Of lands for unps!d
taxes, general taxation for local Improvements
and the taxing holders Of stock in National
Banks are considered and discussed with Mr.
Rob insOns usual dircctness and force.

We hold it simple duty to warn the People
of our State of the existence Of extensive and
powerful combinations with which to control
their newly-orcanized Legislature for their own
pecuniary advantage to the prejudice OF what
seems to MS the interests and rights of the
masses. One of their schemes contenplates an
increase Of the legal rates of passage ON the
Central, and, by inevitable consequence, Of the
actual rates on competing and subsidiary rail-
roads; kindred project looks to an enhance
ment of the rates of fare legally collectable on
our various City or Horse Railroads; another
looks to liberating the Gas Companies from legal
limitations, and SO enabling them to charge at
will. A single "ring" has doubtless been
found more economical and efficient than
several; and we Judge that each Of these schemes
is to be SO pushed as to help and be helped by
all the others.
We do not absolutely know that the engineers
of these projects have secured the control of
our new Assembly by the organization just eff
fected; but We can clearly perceive that they

new Legislature, we have nothing to say. They
know their duty, and will do it. But to the
