GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

FelIoao CitizeRs Of the General Assembly:
There is a good cause for congrat-
-ulation, that while the people of
Ohio have not been altogether ex-
empt from misfortune during the
year which has just drawn to close,
yet no startling calamity has befal-
len them. Peace, health and finan-
cial prosperity have generally pre-
vailed within the limits of our State;
the standard of education has been
steadily advanced; CRIME has been
diminished; good order maintained;
success has attended the ventures of
capital, and rich reward has followed
close upon the footsteps of labor.
r. While, within a few months past,
desolating fires have laid in ashes
two great and beautiful cities, east
and west of Us, our homes have
been spared, and all our towns and
cities have been busy with their
multiplied and uninterrupted indus
tries.
lOu ilC gam stoScLuUlONt, W uO-
termine how the welfare of the State
may be promoted by wise and judi
cious legislation; and it becomes
the duty of the executive to offer
for your considerate action, such
suggestions and recommendations
as may seem pertinent and neces-
sary.
. For detailed statement of the
conduct of affairs by your State of
ficers during the last twelve months,
you are respectfully referred to the
annual reports of the heads of de
partments herewith transmitted. II
will, think, be found that no inter
est has suffered through the neglect
incompetency, or fraud of those
whom the people have honored with
important trusts.
L subjoin a brief statement of the
present financial conditions of the
State.
STATE FINANCES.
On the 10Th day of November
1871, the public funded debt of the
State WAS $9,022,72I 73.

BY referring to the report of par
dons, herewith transmitted, it will
be observed that only twenty in all
were granted by the present execu
tive, frem the Sth of January to the
10 of November, 1872. 1t is my be,
liefthat the good of the community
requires the punishment for crime
to be considered certain, that when
criminal has been fairly tried and
convicted for an offense against the
law, executive clemency should be
only exceptional, and when the rea-
sons therefor are palpable and con-
elusive. If the object of punish
ment were solely, or chiefly, the re-
formation of criminals, many par
dons might with propriety be grant
ed. But the primary and principal
consideration is to prevent crime by
the exemplary punishment of those
who have been already convicted.
INFLUENCE OF REFORM SCHOOL.
1t is gratifying to know that there
is one hundred less convicts in our
Penitentiary now, than there were
one year ago,and the number receiv-
ed since. the opening of the fall term
of court, has been less than two
thirds of what it was in the cores
ponding months of 1871. There are
various ways to account for this, but
undoubtedly one explanation is
found in the fact that our Reform
Schools for boys and girls,tak bad
ly governed and inc rrigible youth
away from the haunts of vice,gen-
orally before the commission of
any cerious crimes, to institutions
where they are surrounded with
good influences, and educated for
lives of usefulness and virtue. We
have few nobler or more beneficent
charities than onr reform school.
Your attention is directed to the
