The October Elections.


The prestige of the October elections is
with the democrats, and as consequence
they have fired off many guns which they
didn't fire against the rebellion. But their
victories are of the most meagrc sort.
Official returns from all the counties in
Pennsylvania elect the democratic Judge by
only 744 majority, while the union party
carry both branches of the legislature by
10 majority on joint ballot. In Philadel-
phia city alone there were $4,000 voters
who did not vote.
Ohio elects the Union State ticket by
some 5000 majority, while we lose the leg
islature by half a dozen votes.
In Iowa the union party make clean
sweep by over 10000 majority.
Louisiana has voted the union recon-
struction ticket by more than ~ 900 ma
jority over the rebel stay-at-homes, and
Alabama has done The sumo by over 5000
majority.

encourage manufactures by the exemption
Of new establishments from taxation, and
by other wise laws throw about them that
fostering care Of the State. In this con.
nection, permit me to repeat the recon-
mendaticns of former executives on the
subject OF attachment, Of property on mesne
process, and particularly 10 call your A.
teniion to that part Of our system Which
gives priority TO the first attaching credi-
tor. 1t we would keep pace with our sis
ter States in the development of our sbuu-
dant resources, we must see that we ore
not behind them in providing Cor just
and equitable distribution among all eredi-
tors, OF the assets of any debtor, who, by
the risks attendant on new enter prises, or
from any other cause, finds himself unable
to meet his Obligations.
Capiafcomes to us less freely, and cred
it is less readily accorded in other States
10 our citizens, Than il would be if the
capitalist or the C; editor were sure that in
case Of any inability to pay m fall, he could
rely on sharing alike with other creditors
instead Of seeing his property applied to
the full payment of anether's debt, and
himself lett with no part Of his just due.
A reformation OF our laws in this respect
seems to be demanded. Now, our sons
seek in other States that protection and
fostering care over their industry which
they fail TO find al home," and 10 this law
on our statute book is largely to be atirib.
uted the fact that during he las, decade
our ratio of increase Of population was
less Than that of any State Of the Union.
euE COUNTRY.
II Is haEaly necessary at this time to al
lude to the part taken by Vermont in the
late rebellion. Here we stand equal with
any Of our sister States.
Let Us not be deprived of the fruits OF
our sacrifices Of men and money by exec
uhve interference. and by abe removal
from Official position of men of firm and
consistent loyalty and patriotism. Let US
see that the cause we gave the lives OF our
sons to establish is heneeforth maintained
and that we receive the benefit of our sac
rifces in the permanent establishment of
this Union on principles of justice and
equal rights and to that end let US s.urge
Congress to act Lravely and thoroughly in
the adoption of whatever measures may
be requisite for the establishment of peace
and prosperity throughout the whole conn

It's no time now TO take a step back

the position We have won, and with our
fathers declare and maintain that g all men
are equally free and independent, and have
certain natural, inherent and inalienable
rights, among which are the enjoying and
defending life aud liberty, acquiring, pos
sessing and protecting property, and pur-
suing and obaising happiness and safety"
Finally, let US remember that z it is not
in man that walkeih to direct his stems.
and that ali our iabors are . potb;ng

II seems to me sound policy TO continue
to apply yearly one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars as a sinking fund to retire
the funded debt. Should you concur in
this view, and should the basis of the fore
going estimate prove correct, it will be
necessary TO assess tax upon the polls
and ratable estate Of the inhabitants of the
State, that will realize to the Treasury
tour hundred Thousand dollars. 1t will be
noticed that this sum is nearly one hundred
| and seventy thousand dollars less than was
| raised by tax last annual session.
REGISTERED LOAN.
Coupon State bonds belonging to the
Agricultural College fund, to the amount
of one hundred and thirty-three thousand
and five hundred dollars, are deposited
With the State Treasurer. These bonds
are negotiable, and under the law, are to
be held for years TO come. For greater
security, l recommend that authority be
granted to cancel these bonds, and an
others that may be returned 10 the Treas
ury for that purpose and to issue certifi.
Gates in the form of the registered loan of
the United States inscribins the credit on
the books in the offices of the Treasurer
and Secretary of State.
COLLECTION OF TAXES.
From observation and experience am
satisfied that our system of collecting taxes
can be much simplified and improved.
recommend that the existing laws on that
subject be SO modified as to require the Sc
iectmen, or other proper officers, of each
town or city TO include in the same rate
Dill all taxes, whether State, county. town
or otherwise. duly certified to them as yot-
ed and assessed in any year, and that such
rate Dill be committed for collection TO the
hrst constable, or collector of taxes. i, /

by the constitution it devolves upon me

specially referring you to these reports
for further details.
FINANCES.
The condition of the finances should re-

taxation, and to the equal apporIionment
OF the expenses of government upon all
