The annual message Of Governor Geary
was transmitted to the Legislature on
"wednesday last.
The Governor gives general review OF
the affairs of the State, and touches upon
a number Of important topics connected
with the public welfare, and we commend
the message to the thoughtful attention of
our readers. In regard TO the finances of
the State the Governor makes satisfactory
report. He says that every demand
upon the Treasury for ordinary and other
expenses has been promptly paid and the
public debt materially reduced So that 4
public confidence in the securities VI the
Commonwealth has been inspired which
enables them to command the highest pre-
MUM in the market. On the 10Th Of Jauu-
l. = L.
State was S37, ,704, 400 II. Since then and
up to November 30, 1870, the sum Of IS,
592,T47 81 has oeen paid. The reduction
during the year'ending November 80, 1870,
is 81, ,702, SO 05.
lie flvors the calling Of a'cenvention to
revise the State constitution, and make
such amendments as an enlightened pub
lie sentiment demands.
The prosperous condition Of our common
school system is alluded to in the message,
and number Of suggestions for its i'm
provemcnt are offered. \ satisfactory ex-
hibit Of the affairs Of the schools for sol
diers' orphans is also made.
In regard TO the question Of protection
for home industry the views Of the Cover
nor are sound, and lie advances some un-
answera5ie arguments against the free
trade heresy that we commend to The notice
of the so-called revenue reformers. The
''heathen Chineen does not meet with the
approval of the Governor, especially when
he comes in the shape of coole under
contract for Il term of years, and reslric-
tive laws that will stay the further impor.

TIE new tariff act which was passed at
the last session Of Congress, and went into
effect on the Let Of January, makes many
changes in the revenue. Among the most
important changes are the following: Teas
from IS to Is cents; coffee, from to cts.
new sugar, from 81 TO II cents; sugar
above No. z, from 10 cents; refined su.
gar, from to cents; cane molasses, from
5 to 5 cents brandy, from SO to 80 liquors
from $3.50 to 81 per proof gallon wool,
from 80 per cent. to II and 10 cents steel
railway bars, from y and 10 per cent. to
II cents pig iron, from 50 to 81 cast and
wrought scrap are each increased 81 per
ton. Fify-two articles, mostly drugs, are
placed on the free list and the tariff upon
forty reduced.
This shows what q Republican Congress
has accomplished for the benefit of the Ia
boring classes. Any one can readily sec
that these reductions are correct and are
calculated to benefit the poorer class of
people. The duty oniron, we think, should
have been retained for a few years longer.
A bill was introduced by our Congress
man, Hon. J, B. Packer, on the 10th alt,
to place tea and coffee on the free list,
which will meet with favor, no doubt, with
every one, as all must admit that it is good
policy to reduce the tariff on all produc-
tons which we are not able to raise on our
own soil, and are imported. Articles which
are produced by our own people, should
receive encouragement and protection from
the government at all times, by placing q
duty upon the foreign article.

WARM EprpOpE,

IoTDoN, Dec. 31.-A Herald special
telegram from Paris, dated on the Goth of
December, says Prussian shells have been
thrown into the northern portion of Paris
from the neighborhood of Rainey, the guns
ranging 1000 yards distance.
Special kilograms for the Herald from,
Germany, dated at Carlsruhe on the Goth
Inst, announce the following intelligence :
An attack on two of the Paris forts will
occur almost Immediately according to the
present plans of the Prussans. Shells will
be thrown at interims into the suburbs OF
Belleville, Villette and the faubourg st.
Antoine. Operations on the Loire have
been suspended almost altogether. No
thing has been done by the Germans in
that quarter for fortnight past.
Prince Hohenlohe and Gen. kaMebc
have been appointed Supreme Chiefs, or
Commanders of the Pritssian artillery.
Reintorcemcnts to the German army arc

has been increased by at least l50, 600 efttc-
tive men, which shskcs The line Of circum-
vallation inclndc about 100000. With
