MISCELLANEOUS,


Gentlemen OF the General ASsenlblv-Taxatlon
Is the vital power OF all governments, and l In
woke your serious attention to the necessity Of
strict economy in expenditure, so that no more
taxes be levied than Is consistent with an eicient
administration OF the government Notwi TIL
standing the constitutional provision for uni.
form and equal rate OF assessment and taxation,
the taxes on real and personal property have
become onerous, while railroads and other I'm
portant interests are virtually exempt. There
Is much room for retran nchment in the salaries Of
county officers, and especially In that OF school
and county commissioners, whose compensation
is greatly dlsproportionate to the trlalng amount
OF duty performed by then. Having thus sub
mitted to you the corGition OF the State, and
made those recommendations as to your leglsla-
tion which seemed to me judicious, l might per-
haps properly conclude this message; but can
not refrain from saying what feel deeply. am
conscious that have been rn.cler:ed by alarge
mai Jrlty Of the citizens OF thi' State-a majority
so large as to secure my adm :7istration against
any opposition OF practical nsequence, and l
trust that my conduct In the future, asla the
past will show how thoroughly recognize the
confidence which has been vouchsafed 10 me
but 1 cannot refuse to recognize the fact that
o large body Of those in whose hands the wealth.,
the,lnfuence and the education Of the State have,
in former times, been entirely placed, and In
whose hands, to yer. considerable extent, they
are still placed have been opposed to the party OF
which am the chosen representative, and ore TO-
day apprehensIve OF the results Of my admins
tratlon. AS far as am Individually concerned,
while I wish It were otherwise, will bear with
patience the derunciatlon that know proceeds
from an entire misconstruction OF my acts, my
thoughts and my feellngs But If I know myself,
that which desire above all things Is the resto-
ration of harmony to the disturbed opinion OF this
State, the recognition BY all classes In the
State Of their mutual dependence and their COM
mon Interest; and II could close my term OF office
Knowing that my efforts had been successful IN
making all men feel once more that they have
common interest in the reputation and prosperity
of the State, should rest content with myself
and thankful to the God OF Peace who used me
as His inst ument.: know how difficult this VIII
be; but In conclusion, will say that will pledge
myself to every legitimate er,rt for the accom-.
nlshment Of this desirable result, and will han,
as the bes. friend OF the State and my admins.
tra,iou, every aud any man, supporter or antago-
mist, who will aid me in any way to compass this
