without authority to repress the
growing evil. A man who eats
but does not work is bad citizen
and should be forced into honest

IMMIGRATION.
Under the management of DR..
J. o. Noyes, chief OF this bureau,
l have great hope of being able
to bring to our State a swelling
tide of immigration. He is
thoroughly acquainted with the
subject, speaks fuently, in addi-
ton to his own tongue, the French
and German, and has inaugurated
measures calculated to give full
information relating to our re-
sources, and to recommend New
Orleans as port to which immi-
grants will first come from abroad.
We have several lines of steamers
direct to foreign seapOrts, and over
one thousand immigrants have
arrived here in the past few weeks.
He will ask some futher legisla-
ton in order to get the bureau
well organized, and hopes to make
it maintain itself, as is done by
the States of New York and Mary
land. His report | will lay be-
fore you at an early day.
Fellow citizens-May we not
hope that the storms of the past
have died away forever, and that
returning reason will remount it's
throne The issues of the past
eight years have been settled, we
hope forever. Slavery has been
swept away, and along with it all
the train of evils growing out of
its wickedneSs, and has left US
master and slave, black and white
with the same rights under the
law, the same chance to succeed
in life, and with equally unrestrict-
ed aspirations and hopes. On an
intelligent people, armed with a
free press and free speech, and
supported by the ballot, may we
not confidently rely for such mod
ifications of laws and customs in
society as the sound Judgment of
the people may approve. Let us
! forget the passions of the great
past, forgive those who have done
us evil, aud offer to all the same
protection and encouragement
claimed for ourselves. In this
spirit | recommend the abroga-
ton Of the ninety-ninth article of
our Constitution, and believe, if
an amendment should be submit
ted to the people at the next gen.
eral election, it would receive their
almost unanimous approval. l re-
GREETED its insertion in the Consti-
tuition, favored the proposition
made to abrogate it at the last
session, and now officially recon-
mend it.
| am hopeful of the future
Our Heavenly Father has reward
ed rs with a bountiful crop, kept
sealed the pestilence with which
we have been in past times visit
ed, and blessed the lovers of liber
ty and justice with the greatest
political triumph ever accorded to
them in this country. In the wise
economical, moderate and firm ad
ministration of the government o.
the nation and the State, L be
lieye are healings of all animosi
ties and the prosperity and glory
Of the people.

Of the political power contained in
tbe,n. Teachers have been chosen
for political reasons. or others re-
aecting still less credit upon the
directory. Young men, without
families, and ignorant of the rudi- |
meuts of English or other educa-
ton, have fOisted themselves upon
the school boards, and the result
ia that the teachers have been Sc
lected, in many instances, for
other reasons than competency
for their duties. There are not
sehoolhouses enough in the city
or State to accommodate half
the children, while large numbers
are almost totally denied the
means of education on account OF
color. The Legislature should
give immediate attention to this
subject, and provide means by
which every child may receive an
education without any distinction.
Provide good houses and enough
of them, with capable and eRpe-
rienced teachers, and the subor-
dinate questions will adjust them
selves.
The State Seminary, at Alexan-
dria, is doing as well as can be
expected. l hope to be able to
lay before you, at an early day,
a report from its managers. There
are now 10 cadets in attendance.
It is an institution which the State
should foster and encourage by
liberal donations.
THE PENITENTIARY.
Nv predecessor leased the Pen
itentiary to Messrs. Huger & Jones
by authority of General Hancock.
The bill passed at your last Ses-
sion approving the lease and au-
thorizing the purchase of machin-
ery and the erection of buildings
at the discretion of the lcssees, |
have declined to approve, and
have returned it to you with my
objections, for your consideration.
Your attention is called to it, and
the report of the Board Of Con,
troll, whose authority they have
resisted. Ifyou sustain my OBJ
iections to the bill, you should
either approved the lease already
made or authorize another to be
made. In my Judgment the State
should retain the supervision and
control of the treatment Of the
prisoners and the conduct of the
institution, is so far as not incom-
patible with the rightflll interest
of the lessees.
THE STATE HOUSE.
The State is in need of suitable
capitol buildings. Those now in
use are inadequate to the demands
OF tho State. Your attention is
called to the fact the building on
Esplanade street, formerly used as
q government mint, is now wholly
III disuse, and it is not certain
that the government will again
use it. | have no doubt it could
be obtained as q contribution by
the general government, and could
with small expense, be made q

THE CUBAN SUCCESSES.

WHATEVER action the United States authori-
ties may be compelled to take in suppressing
tilibustering expeditions, the Cuban revolu-
tionists are assured of the sympathies and moral
support of the nation. The recognition of
the United States will undoubtedly be ac-
corded to them as soon as it can be shown that
they have an organized government, and
that they have fairly broken tho Spanish au-
thority in the island. The news which is pub
lished to-day from Cuba is encouraging, as it
shows that the patriots are steadily gaining
upon their antagonists and that there is a
fair promise that ere long they will gain the
upper hand. Several fights have taken place,
in which the Cubans were victorious, and
it is well known that the Spanish
forces are seriously weakened by sickness
and by dissensions in their own ranks. The
Governor-General has as much as he can do
to manage his volunteers, who threaten to
turn upon him as they did upon Dulce and
who are incensed at the idea of being forced
to take the. field, where they will have less
opportunity to dictate terms to their
commanders. The troubles of Spain, too,
will prevent reinforcements of any
extent from being sent to Cuba at present,
and every success of the patriots is therefore
a permanent gain while the victories of the
Spaniards are often without any appreciable
results. 1t has been observable of late that
there has been less brag and buster about the
Spanish authorities, and the information that
leaks out occasionally as to their real status
represents their prospects in anything but
promising. The great defect with the Cubans
is that their forces are undisciplined, badly
organized, and badly armed. If they could
collect a respectable force in one place,
under competent leader, they might be able
to win the day in one decisive battle. Any
successes, however, are as encouraging to
them as they are disheartening to their
enemies, and, unless something unlocked
for turns up to defeat them, they will scarcely
fail to win the day, although the struggle
may be protracted and their beautiful island
made desolate by fierce and desperate con-
fict.

be kept ignorant of the progress Of
events in Europe. Instead of the new
cable furnishing partial remedy for
the advantages enjoyed by Great Britain,
which she was so prompt to improve on a
memorable occasion, the difficulty is now in
tensiied, and we are at the mercy of both the
leading nations of Western Europe. The
new cable should have had one terminus on a
well-known point on the American shore, in
stead of being landed on an adjacent island,
and our authorities should earnestly endeavor
to have this whole cable telegram business re-
constructed on equitable principles.

put upon him seems to be for the mere pur
pose Of setting Whitehouse at defiance Ac-
cording to the direct letter of the law he has
a right to do this, and if he we're called by
his duties as a Christian minister he would be
justified in every respect; but if he goes
merely to stir up dissension, he places him
self Immediately on the level of his antago-
mist.
These two church functionaries are not dis
putting about any essential principle of the
Christian religion; but their heathenish SQUAD
BILE is based upon trivialities that are scarcely
worth the serious consideration of sensible
persons. little gentlemanly good feeling
not to speak of Christian charity, PATIENCE
and long-suffering, which are inoulcatod
in the book that both profess to take
for their guide, might easily bring
about reconciliation; but the old
Adam appears to have the ascendancy Just nj
this moment, and the New Testament boing
thrown aside, they drop the courtesios of
civilized life and put themselves on IA level
with the untutored savages, with whom re-
venge and hatred are virtues. When the
bishops of the Christian Church fall by the
ears, it is certainly time for impartial out
siders to make themselves heard in the way of
protest, and the impartial lool1ers-on at this
quarrel cannot but pronounce it disgraceful in
every way to both parties
