The rules of the senate for 1869
were adopted until others are provi-
ded. The senate then proceeded to
the election of secretary, Henry
Clark of Rutland and Luther o.
Greene of Woodstock being contest
ants for that honor, which resulted in
the choice of the first named gentle
man sixteen to eleven. Mason b.
Carpenter was unanimously elected
assistant secretary. Rev. P. B. Fisk
of Lyndonville was elected chaplain.
After the transaction of such business
as voting its members daily papers,
&C., the senate adjourned till after
noon. In the afternoon but little was
done aside from adopting pro tenn
rules and appointing committee to
canvass votes, Mr.. Cotton being the
one chosen for Orleans county.
The house convened at o'clock a.
m, and was called to order by Hon.
Geo. II. Nichols, secretary Of state.
On calling the roll of the members
212 answered to their names and
were sworn in. The house then pro-
ceeded to the election of speaker.
AS there had been since the election
quite a vigorous push made by the va
rious aspirants for that position, it
was thought there might be something

that cannot be considered otherwise
than ia the highest degree honorable

The position to which you have elected

which any man, who has not the fullest
confidence in his own powers, might hon
estly shrink. When look back upon the

should hesitate in view of what is before

The uniform kindness and courtesy OF

proyerbial, and upon that sure foundation

May a spirit of Kindness and forbearancC

Providence guide US in our deliberations
and graciously smile upon all our efforts.
The present burdens under which oul
people are groaning, call upon us to apply
ourselves with energy and perseverance t.
the work before us, and accomplish wha
we have to do in the briefest possible time
Relying upon your earnest and heart,

your choice, and render the present session
both short and profitable.
The house then proceeded to tn,

such as that performed by the senat
in supplying daily papers, appointing

Teeenf(,fi,aa

Gentlemen Of the Senate and House Of Rep
resentGtiUes.
Our reverent thanks are due to Al
mighty God, for the blessings of health
and prosperity, with which he has
crowned the year that has elapsed
since your last annual session.
1t seems fitting, that in the name of
the people, whom he so ably and faith
fully served, | should advert to the
great public loss our state has sus-
tanned in the death of the late Gov
ernor Washburn. The wide spread
grief it occasioned is still fresh. The
loss of public servant. so upright,
faithful and capable, so earnestly de-
voted to the best interests of the
state, is indeed irreparable. We may
find some solace, in the thought, that
he lived to meet the approval which
his eminent services merited, and that
his public and official life, henceforth
part of our history, is worthy ever
to be held in grateful remembrance.
FINANCES.
The fnancia! condition of the state
is satisfactory.

Treasurer's report, herewith submit

BILE, however, that under the new ap-

ASSESSMENT OF TAXES.

Our. system for the assessment of
taxes is defective. The amount of
personal estate which escapes taxa
ton. is enormous. Valuations are
unequal, and the burdens of taxation
bear unequally upon our citizens.
Real estate cannot escape, but per-
sonal property through the much
abused privilege of offset for debts,
and the various shifts of evasion, and
concealment too commonly practlced,
is largely omitted from our annual
lists. AS a consequence real estate
is always appraised below "its true
value in money" and not seldom at
less than one-third of such value.
1t is a serious question whether
offset for debts should not be much
restricted. 1t may be we'll to inquire
whether the evils Of the present sys-
TEN may not be at least alleviated by
well considered notifications Of our
law.
COUNTRY AND STATE.
| congratulate you On the. condi-
ton of our beloved country, reunited
upon the righteous basis of universal
freedom and citizenship.
The evidences of renewed prosper
ity are abundant. While other ma
tions are desolated by the ravages
of war, we enjoy tho untold blessings
of peace.
There are encouraging signs OF ad-
vancement in our own State. Our
population and resources have mate
rally increased within the last decade,
and the probable construction, within
a brief period, of a Ship Canal con-
Meeting the waters Of Lake Champlain
with the Upper Lakes, thus bringing
Vermont in the great highway of
traffic from the West to the Seaboard,
will greatly stimulate our industries
and develop our resources.

THE JAILS.

invite your attention to the evils
Of our jail system. They have long
been felt and deplored by those most
conversanU with its workings. While
it would be manifestly impracticable
20 attempt an immediate cure of these
evils, it is yet a question, worthy
your earliest consideration, whether
they may not be gradually ameliora-
ted and finally abolished. For the
most part our jails are used as mere
houses Of detention. Parties charged
with crime are confined therein, only
pending inquiry as to guilt or inno-
cence. PROFESSIONALLY the great
evil of the system is in the promiscu-
GUS intercourse of all the inmates, in
a common room. Thus are brought
together, the guilty and the innocent
the old and the young, the unfortunate
and the depraved. The unchecked
association is wolly pernicious. II
makes the common Jail a public
school Of vice. maintained at the pub
lie expense. An expensive instru
mentality for the prevention of crime
thus becomes a prolific source Of its
perpetuation. Shut up in idleness
without books, without religious priv
leges or instruction, the vicious be
come more hardened, and the limo
cent corrupted. The released victim
Of the system, goes back to inhict il
nameless crimes upon society, thu
penalty for its neglect.
Our jails should be so constructed
as to render such intercourse impossi
BILE.
l suggest whether it would not bC
well, that the Legislature should pre-
scribe the plan of construction of al
iails, hereafter to be erected, o.
reconstructed and that their interna
police be brought more directly unde
Legislative supervision.
