am constrained, therefore, to renew the
suggestion made in special message at the
last session, and also the recommendations of
my last four predecessors, that this fund be
called into the State treasury. believe IT
could with profit be invested In registered
bonds of the United States, or those of this
State, or in public improvements. would
commend to your consideration the very judi
cious remarks on this subject In the reports OF
the financial officers of the State.
During the last fiscal term OF two years,
70 $50 acres of SCHOOL, lands were patented. Ac-
| cording to an estimate carefully made by the
Register of the State Land Office, the average
price obtained for these lands was about e23i
per acre. How much land was sold during the
| same term, or the price obtained per acre, l
am unable to state, the law OF 1854, recurring
reports of such sales to be made semi-annually
to the Register, receiving almost no attention
| from the proper county officers. Among the
| lands patented, however, were some situated
In old and well settled counties, that were sold
for one dollar and quarter per acre In cash.
During the last two years the Census Board
having ii charge lands obtained from the sure
ties Of James d. Eads, former Superintendent
| of Public Instruction, has sold thirteen
hundred and forty eight acres OF the same,
situated in the counties Of Clarke, Decatur,
| Marshall, Story, and Warren, at the average
rate of nine dollars and twenty cents per acre.
During the year 1858, the state of Minnesota
sold seventy six thousand acres OF school-lands,
at an average price of little over six dollars
per acre. Both Minnesota and Nebraska have
| fixed the minimum price of their sceool lands at
IS per acre. the latter, by constitutional provls.
ion. Iowa, whose lands, because OF their
greater accessibility and their average better
quality, ought to be worth much more than
those OF the States mentioned, fixes her mini.
mum at one dollar and a-quarter per acre.
| A short time since, hearing that some of the
school lands were being hurried into market
as l deemed with unseemly haste, and at an
! improper season, caused the Attorney Gener
| al to take the necessary steps to stop the sale
That officer at once applied for and obtained
| injunctions and had the satisfaction OF saving

u s. SENATOR.
On the 9th day of August last, 1 received
the resignation Of Hon. James w. Grimes, as
Senator ofthe United States from the State Of
Iowa, to take effect on the first Monday in De-
cember on which day accordingly closed the
long public services OF an eminent statesman,
whose ability and influence gave him not only
State but national reputation. 1t will,
therefore, become your duty to elect SEN
ator to I'LL the place thus made vacant.
CONCLUSION.
In conclusion, gentlemen, permit me to con.
graduate you upon the suspicious circumstan-
ces under which you are now assembled. With
the State virtually out Of debt, its population
rapidly increasing, its wealth OF resources
yielding abundant returns to all kinds OF In
dustry, its laws in general judiciOusy and faith
fully administered, its schools and colleges
furnishing means of education to all, its public
institutions well established and comforting
blessings on the objects of their care, its empire
of territory traversed by rapidly increasing
lines of railroad, it's people peaceful and pro-
gressive, yourselves enjoying the generous and
Astounding confidence of that people, you enter
upon your work Of legislation. That this work
may be abundantly blessed of Him who has
heretofore been so bounteous IN goodness To-
ward our State and nation, Invoke the prayers
of the good..people Of this Commonwealth.
It will be nv pleasure, as it is my duty, to
cooperate with you in all measures to promote
the public welfare, to increase the happiness
Of the people, and to enable them to continue
and enlarge those works Of humanity, charity,
and benevolence which have thus far dis
tinguished our State.
/ would do Injustice to my own feelings were
l to close this message without expressing my
gratitude to our State officers, and all con-
nected with the State government, for the
ability, integrity, and zeal they have displayed
| in behalf of the public interests, and for Inc
Kindness courtesy, and generous confidence
| thew have given me in the discharge Of my OH
cial duties. SAMUEL MEnn1AA'

THE CAPITOL.
The report of the Census Board, acting as q
Board of Commissioners, under the provisions
of chapter 81, of the Acts of the last General
Assembly, will be submitted to your honorable
body at an early day, accompanied with the
plans TO which premiums were awarded In
my opinion, these plans should be examined
by competent architect, with authority to
consolidate them with such other meritorious
plans as have been or may hereafter be submit
ted, In such manner that, while symmetrical
plan is elaborated, the maximum Of con-
yenence and accommodation may be attained.
A suitable building for the meeting Of Its lcgis-
laturc, for the accommodation Ofits executive,
administrative, and judicial departments, and
for the preservation of its archives, is one OF
the most indispensable requirements of gov
eminent The building In which you are as.
sembled, submit, possesses none Of these char
acteristics of q suitable capitol. need not re-
mind you of the crowded condition of the halls
In which you meet, of the almost total absence
Of committee rooms, of the cramped apartments
for the various State Offices nor the want OF
security against fire. Besides, the edihce, in
point of architectural appearance, Is utterly un-
worthy Of our vigorous and aspiring common
wealth. II Is believed that no State ID the
Union, either East or West, has capitol build

territories, and some counties even In our own
State, have better buildings in which to trans-
act their official business. l therefore recon-
mend that steps be taken for the commence
ment of the erection of a new State House an
cdifice, which, in magnitude Of proportions,
symmetry of design, and convenience Of ar-
rangement, shall be worthy OF our State, An
appropriation Of &l5O, COO is probably ell that

amount necessary for the second year would DO q

OUR STATE PRISoN.-The annual
report of the officers of the State
Prison at Windsor. for the year end

that is Of general interest to the
public. We present some facts and
figures relative to the workings Of
the institution.
The directors state that the con
victS are we'll supplied with whole
some food and comfortable clothing,
that they are in a good state Of obe,
dicnce, that good health prevails,
that eases Of punishment are rare.
while nearly all are ambitious to
earn the time allowed by the com,
mutation act.
Their examinations in reference to
the financial affairs Of the PRISON
show a deficiency of income amount
inc to SG,297.11. They claim that
this is quite rs favorable as was cX.
. pcctcd by most conNerSaht with the
actual state of affairs; the question
of pay simply. not being the CHIEF
object of apenitentiary. It's given
Ms thcir bplirf that fine financial
affairs have been managed in strict
economy and honest fidelity bv thc
superintendent; and that under the
present contract, and present range
of prices a more favorable report
cannot be expected.

and one that will be long remember,

valleys of the White Mountains like
mighty rivers, leaving the snow clad
