Governor Renton,s Message.

ALBANY, January Ex-Governor Fen
toms message will be delivered to-day.
He says the State debt over the sinking
fund is forty-four millions Of dollars
All departments of business and enter
prise are prosperous. The amount OF
tax paid by the people is about twenty
five dollars per head. The real estate
of the State has increased thirteen per
cent. in five years. The value of the
State is $4,500,00 900. He favors the
necessity Of sustaining the national
credit, opposes the contraction of the
currency, and opposes any attempt at a
forced payment of the debt, fayoring
its postponement until the country has
recuperated. He recommends the pas
sage'of laws requiring fuller returns OF
the personal property in the State,
The receipts from canals is four mil
lions, one million being paid out to
sustain them. Over SS,000,000 have
been paid to the State during the year
for war claims. He refers to several
internal State topics, and devotes a
strong argument against the system OF
special legislation, which has truly
grown to an enormous extent. He fully
endorses negro suffrage, and holds that
the fall Of the confederacy and the
Southern States was the fall of their
civil government. President Johnson's
course is denounced and that of Con-
gIess commended. ...s ........

WHERE THE CATTLE ARE FROM.

1t will be seen that we are indebted
to Illinois for nearly two-thirds of sll
our Cattle, that prince among stock
men, Mr.. j! T. Alexander, alone sending
about 10000 head. True, Illinois gets
credit for some Cattle raised in Texas,
Missouri, Kansas, the Cherokee Nation,
&c, pastured for season in that State,
while many of those credited to this
State were Western stock bought by
graziers at Albany and Buffalo, and fed
for few months before bringing in.
The experiments in feeding Texas Cat
tie for about year in Illinois and Ken
lucky has proved so satisfactory that
the trade in that direction is likely to
be largely increased. Many of this
kind of Cattle are being killed and
packed at the West.
Beef Cattle have averaged l6ic per
Id dressed -s.-..-. s..s..g
1t is singular coincidence that the
average of all the average prices of
Cattle for the entire l2 months, should
be precisely what it was last year.
There has been more uniformity of
price, scarcely anything going above
20c, and then only for some of the extra
fine Christmas Buloeks, while 25c was
reached in February of the previous
year for Washington's birthday Cattle,
The lowest prices were during the glut
of October and November, and the high
est in June. The sharp drought at the
West caused many Cattle to come for
ward less than half fat.
r. The largely increased Sheep trade de-
serves more than passing notice. The
heavy receipts are mainly attributable
to the revulsion in the Wool trade and
the high prices Of all kinds of feed.
When wool-growing was one of the most
profitable branches of farming, year
or TIVE ago, the stock was increased to
an enormous extent, and ROW feeders
manifest just as much anxiety TO get rid
of them. There is danger Of going to
the other extreme, and so diminishing
the stock as TO make it scarce and high
next Spring, During the giut here,
when 35, 900 to 10000 head were coming
forward per week, prices Of thin lots
run down SO low that not . few
were killed hat home for the skins
alone. To show the contrast be-
tween good and poor stock, and to
try to stimulate farmers to improve
their focks, we will compare some thin
Sheep of fifty to sixty pounds each, sold
lat eco and less per head during the
holidays, while car load of l32 prime
Canada sheep, l3s pounds average pei
head, brought sfo per pound, or ii 7s
each. The old Sheep markets in Sixth
