the State. The total bonded debt of the
State, exclusive of the bonds loaned rail-
roads, is S6O2, 900, 1902 900 ofwhich matured
in 1862 and 1868. S26O,OOO of these bonds
have been exchanged for new twenty year

issued to railrods, including bonds guaranA
teed by the State, is S23, 100000, on which

The Governor recommends that measures

the State amounts to little over 81, 100000
for the payment of which the Governor
confidently hopes Congress will provide.
The Governor treats the railroad question
at considerable length, congratulates the
State on the completion of the Pacific road,
aud recommends the sale of the South
West Branch, and Iron Mountain roads, so
that private enterprise may finish the for
mer to tbs south west corner of the State,
and connect with rOads in southern Kansas,
Texas, and the latter to Columbus, KY, to
connect with the Mississippi road by Mobile
and New Orleans. The Governor thinks the
roads can be sold to parties who will carry
out this plan.

lege, Military School and additional aid to
the State Universary and orher educational
institutions is recommended.
The Governor urges some changes in the
new constitution, the most important of
which is that no Union soldier, honOrably
discharged from the service, shall be re-
quired to take the oath of loyalty, except in
such cases as provided for in the 18th section;
that trustees, all officers in which neither
the United States, this State, nor any coun-
ty, city or town thereof is entrusted as stock
holder, creditor or contributor; also all teach
ers in schools not endowed nor supported by
the United States, this state, or any county,
city or town thereof, shall be exempt from
the requirements of article second.
The question Of the right of the people to
make a law requiring ecclesiastical function
aries to take the oath of loyalty being before
the U. S. Supreme Court, the Governor
makes no suggestion in regard to the con-
stitutional requirement relating thereto.
