Rochester, N. Y, % There is considerable
of a crowd around the Jail, but the heavy
rain seems to check the excitement. No VIC.
lence has been committed since noon. Prep

ency this evening. The police are massed
at head quarters and ready to move to any
point. The negro Howard has been indicted.
The police in body just made charge on
the mob in the vicinity of the Jail and are
driving them in every direction. The great
est crowds are now in Buffalo street at the
intersection of State street. Veteran mill,
tary companies of the old 18th, lO8th and
l40th volunteers have been sworn in as a
special police and are reporting at police
head quarters, which place they will guard
and the prisoners that may be captured. Sew
eral soldiers who stepped out of the lines this

Mr.. FELLOWS is daily in receipt Of letters

Syrup Of Hypophosphites. One recently re-

impartng superior energy to the mind. Where
the intellect has been impaired by over work
or kindred causes, the of the Syrup, to-
gether with proper precautions in the use of
food clothing, exercise and rest, will restore
full power to the brain and nerves. Saperi
ority of genius consists in great capacity of
brain for assimilating material from every
quarter, and of developing in proportion, but
as by far the greater number are pot well
endowed by nature, consequently lacking this
capacity, it would be impossible to find
Uranium space for material necessary to con-
stitute the brilliant gcnins. Hence, although
the Syrup will assist in restoring the mind
which is lost it cannot change Il natural born

Governor Hoffman's Message.

Governor Hoffman's message is q lengthy
document. The State debt has been re-
duced to twenty nine millions. The insur-
ance companies of the State have paid twenty
millions losses by the Chicago fire. The
tolls on the canals were nearly half million
more than the year previous. He recon-
mends inquiry into the alleged quarantine
abuses and the referee system in the courts.
The laws relating to the insane should be re-
vised to protect against abuses. He recon-
mends the immediate repeal of the railroad
town bonding act. The eight hour law should
be enforced. He reviews the July riot and
contends if additional laws are necessary
they should insure equal privileges to all
men of whatever religion, politics, race color
or creed. He thinks the federal Constitution
should be amended so that a United States
Senator should be elected by the people that
the exposure of the wrongs in the govern
ment of New York city had aroused atten-
ton to the necessity of reform in public at.
fairs, and recommends new charter on
which the responsibility for a good admins
tration of all the city affairs shall be fixed
upon the mayor, giving him the power of ap-
pointment and removal of heads of depart
ments. providing for an immediate election
OF local officers, the mayor subject to remov.
al by the governor, providing for the COM
mlssioners of police, one to be appointed by
the mayor, one by the Chief Judge of the
court of common pleas, and one by the SUI
perior court judge, all to be removable for
cause by the governor; requiring monthly
financial statements, only one board of alder
men, and other suggestions similar to those
proposed by the committee. He recommends
an anti bribery law, which shall deprive any
briber of the right of suffrage, also any voter
taking bride, and deprive of office any one
elected through bribery; he recommends the
legislature to thoroughly investigate the re-
ports that legislation has been influenced by
money. The government recommends q
commission of thirty-two to be appointed to
consist of equal number of members of each
political party, to revise the State constitu-
ton, and in this connection suggests that
the governor should appoint all admins
trative officers; that the canal commission
be abolished and superintendent appointed;
that the prison inspectors be supplanted by a
superintendent; that the district attorneys be
appointed by the attorney-general or gov
ernor and attorney-general, and that the
secretary or State be appointed by the gov
ernor. He thinks the term of governor
should be for three instead of two years;
recommends the Senate be elected by
larger constituencies for longer terms, also
that the restriction of the session to one hum
dred days be removed, and the governor have
power to prorogue the legislature. He re-
trains from the discussion of federal matters,
the legislature and governor differ politically,
but hopes to work tremendously in dealing
with home affairs.

authorities in the village until evening. On

the two women were found in different rooms

An attempt had been made to fire the house.
