The GOUernOs.ss MESSAGE.

ENC GOCCTRO9''S message.
Governor Noyes delivered his
annual Message to the House on
Thursday last, and the various
recommendations therein referred
to appropriate committees. 1t is
not a very remarkabled ocument,
but answers the necessities of the
times as well as such papers gen.
orally do. After reviewing
the state of our finances, which
might be in a much better condi-
ton, the Governor recommends
codifying and revising the School
laws, and calls the attention of
our law makers first, to normal
instruction; second, County su-
perintendency, and third, Town
ship organization as a modiica>
ton of the district system. lie
thinks the first necessity, is nor
NAL schools, located,
created, supported and regulated
by the State. lie calls for imme-
date and substantial assistance
for the Ohio and Miami Univer-
sites, at Athens and Oxford, or
they will die. He says the Agri-
cultural College, will at no dis
tant day, be ready for the ad>
mission of students, and asks
that the State will extend the
same fiberality to this that she
does to her charitable institu
lions. Says there exists a very
pressing and urgent necessity for
provision for the confinement
and care of our insane, as within
a little more than four years two
of the State Asylums have been
destroyed by fire. He urgently
recommends a radical change
and an enlargement of the shame
fully small cells of the convicts
in the State Penitentiary, the
preaent-enes heinglso i'll ventiI-
ated as to cause frequent attacks
Of pulmonary diseases among the
inmates. Suggests that more
grades of crime BE established,
and til at the juries should fix the
there being a distinct pen
atty for each, which the Judge
should have no discretion but to
pronounce. He congratulates us
hat there are one hundred less
,onvicts in our Penitentiary than
me year ago. Asks the General
Assembly to cooperate with Con-
,ress in making the necessary
preparations for celebrating the
ne hundreth anniversary of our
National Independence, in 1876.
lie thinks the manner of listing
property for taxation should re-
Give attention, and that if mer-
hants and manufacturers were
axed upon sales, rather than up
the "monthly average value
f all merchandise owned and
ED" by them, taxation wonld
e more equitable. Some modi-
cation of the law governing In
france Departments is thought {
ecessary, and the law protect !

'ncludes by suggesting that the t

The Boston Advertiser one of
the able5t of the Republican pa
pers at the Hub, takes a very
sensible view of the Louisiana
affair. Says that paper:
We are firmly of the opinion
that the United States District
Court had no business to enter
tain the application for an in
junction made by Senator and
would-be Governor William Pitt
Kellogg, and even more thor
oughly persuaded that the Uni
ted States army was wrongfuIly
employed to give effect to the
unauthorized Intervention of the
court. Perhaps Kellogg was Ie-
gally elected, and perhaps he
was not; but whether he was or
not the United States court had
no Jurisdiction to prevent what
ever settlement of the question
might have been arrived at by
the process of law established by
the State of Louisiana. i =
In short, we do not see what the
National Government has to do
with the miserable business at
all. 1t would he better if what it
has done were undone as quickly
as possible, and Louisiana left to
take care of itself. For the peo-
pie of Louisiana, who are the
greatest sufferers from the state
of anarchy which has thus been
upon them, we have pro-
found sympathy, but they have
no alternative, as things are now
but to submit with such patience
as they have till the race of the
adventures and place-hunters is
run.
We do not know of a single
Republican paper of any promi,
hence that has given it's sanction
o Grants unwarrantable
ia the Louisiana case,
several of the most influen-
ial journals of that party have
openly and strongly denounced it..
He had better let down with as
God a grace as possible.

1t is stated that the losses at
e during the present year have
been larger than for many years
past. Scarcely a week transpires
bat a report is received of the
loss of one or more pecan steam
chips. The loss of life has been
great, while the loss Of property
has exceeded the total of three
years past. While many of these
accidents are attributable to the
unusually severe weather that
has prevailed during the fall, un-
doubtedly others are due, as was
the case with the Missouri, to
culpable carlessness on the part
of the managers of the line or
the officers of the vessels, in neg
lecting to properly fit out the
vessels with life-saving apparat-
as, or making a judicious use of
such as were available.

"The saving oflittle children,
And bringing tn EN- to their own,

A singular accident occurred In a Girls
void banking house, last Saturday noon,
by which one Of the persons employed Ia
the establishment came near losing his
life through suiiocatiUn. II appears that
the gentlemen had occasion 10 enter the
inner chamber OF the vault, about fifteen
minutes before the hour for closing the
bank, when m assistant IN the EN- dc
plrtmcnt, who has charge Of the leyr,
came along, and carelessly slammed the
inner door and locked 1t. nconsc lousy

forced the massive outer door of the van
into position, turned the key, and deposit

station at the desk.
In the business routine " this eetab-
lishment, the day books are regularly
posted before closing, in order that no
interruption may occur on rrOpenng for
afternoons transactions, and the tnvol
untary prisoner who superinlends this
department, not being present to give tho
usual orders, an Inquiry was raised az TO
what had become OF him. After few
moments patient waiting, messenger
hoy WAS despatched 10 hunt him up. As
the mans hat and coat were hanging on
a rack, it was apparent that he could not
! have gone far, and il was decided To wait

that hour, and the gentlemen engaged in

RWe referred recently to the apparent
confirmation Of the rumoF OF q bargain
for the abandonment Of prosecutions Tor
election frauds IN the State and United
States Courts. It Is proper that We
should add that the prosecuting attorneys
have always disclalmcd any completely
in or connection with any such bargain
and We unhesltatingly say again, as W.
have said before, that We accept their
statements as sufficient. Tho general
opinion has been, however, that It was
not the officers, but those on whom they
relied for the necessary testimony VINO
had made the alleged bargain.
Despite appearance there arc sufficient
grounds to disprove the accuracy OF this
opinion alsc. l.. 5. District Attorney
Higgins assures rs that the prosecutions
under the Enforcement. act were nhan.
don,d of his own motion, without con.
sultstion with any party managers OF
others, from considerations RELAXING to
the cases themsclyes and tho testimony,
without regard to partisan interests OF
necessities, and be further says that be
has not been approached by any party
managers or others with regard TO the
prosecutions. We frankly confess that
under these circumstances it appear.
that the common rumor long prevalent
concerning the swapping OF indict
ments," rests, like many other rnnors
on suspicion mainly, supported by a yer!
insufficient amount Of circgmstantal cvi

From BAithmore w moW
We scarcely know whether or not to
accept the very positive inhndation con-
veyed by the item concerning Jay Could
copied elsewhere from the New YORK
Tribune, that the Baltimore IL ONO
Railroad Company is about to assume
control Of the New Jersey South 'rn Ran
road. We Informed our read ers last
summer that the Baltimore g. Ohio Com
pany looked upon Gould's scheme win
interest and favor, and though admitting
Its impracticability as passenger ROUTE
prominent oficial Of the Baltimore d
Ohio Road assured the editor Of tile STATE
JOURNAL at that time, that he considered
It entirely practicable as freight route
OF course we should not attempt TO dis
sent too strongly from abe Judgment OF
men so experienced In railway manage
nent as are those connected with Bath
more's great highway TO the West, but
we are confident that this Us by no means
the most practicable route fer freight and
we have never doubted hitherto, that the
Baltimore corporation's interest In the
scheme WAS assumed with view IA
affecting their negotiation with the r
W. q B. Company, and VIC did not be-
lieve they would actually take hold OF
the New Jersey route unless they had an
absolute rupture with tho Wilmington
road.
such rupture We are confident has
not occurred, and we are therefore In
ellned Ia doubt If the TribWns's positive
assumption OF the Baltimore 81 Ohio
Company's interest in the New Jersev
Southern Road, (and the Marylar
Delaware Road of which the n -
Southern has control) is - ~ SefEt
mature. We certain ~ ~ least pr
rupture or evcr * nope 60, as an
the Baltir. = RciNe rivalry betwee
nhis .sse Il Ohio and the Philade

would only render il more likely that Ii
