No doubt that caucus Of tho Demo-
cratic members Of tho House and Sem
ate will determine whOsshall DO the next
two United States Senators from this
State. This is all right, and is in ac
cordsncc with the party usage of both
parties. But tho people desire an open
caucus. They desire to know who
their representatives. vote for. The
members Of the Legislature should re.
member that they are acting in rep
resentative character. and that it il
their duty to vote for those they believe
to DO the choice of their constituents
and that their constituents have a righI
to know how they did vote.

attention ,Oghis subject that you may
Inquire wherther any further lcgisla-
ton is necessary to prevent tho reour-
renee Of similar wrongs"
I" Tho report Of the Superintendent
of Free Schools SO fully presents the
condition Of tho public schools that
little is necessary to be said by me.
The schools in tho State have been
gradually improving in all respects ;
we have better teachers large atten-
dance Of pupils, and moro efficient
management by school officers. There
are still defects no doubt, but time and
experience will euro them. The total
expenditures for school purposes were
in 1875 S921.77s.90, and in 1876,
$1,000, 9s3.16. In 1875 there were
1897 children enrolled, aud III, s45
attending schools, the daily
average attendance being 74,5G9; il
1876 ls4,76o children were enrolled,
and 12S $40 in attendance tho daily
everago attendance being 70,1l2
There were 1850 schools houses il
1875 valued with their furniture q
81. COS. 627 is, and 3,4Gl teachers
werc employed /; in 1876, there wer'
reported S.127 school houses, valuet
ut 81 500, 467 ,33, and 1888 teacher
were employed. These naked stats
tics afford substantial grounds Of graf
ifcation that SO much has already beer
accomplished in our young State fol
the education Of its youth.
In conclusion tho Governor submits
the following brief valodictory:
will soou surrender tho Office
now hold-an Office that has brough
to nc far moro Of care, anxiety Ant

The Governors Message.

On the 18th inst, Governor Jacot
forwarded to the two Houses Of The
Legislature his message to that body
The document is one which commsudi
itself to tho public as a plain, sensible
paper and is certainly tho best otforl
tha. has cmiuated from the Executive
Department since the election Of Mr.
Jacob to the Gubcrnatosial Office. The
Governor op,ns bis message by ref.
erence to the condition of affairs in The
South, and tho existing difficulty in
relation to tho Presidential middle.
He asserts that the elections in tho
South were free, full and fair, and in
dignantly repudiates tho illegal pro.
'ceedings of tho Returning Boards, and
the interference Of The Federal author
lilies with the legal State governments.
In concluding this subject DO says:
"Tho will Of the majority of the
people expressed at The polls must to
respected and obeyed, aud tao right Of
cash State to manage its own internal
affairs must not DO infringcd-auy do.
p,r,ure from these principles is we'll
calculated to awaken grave concern and
anxiety among the people"
In the matter Of his retoes OF tho
bills passed by the last Legislature ,ap.
ptepriating money TO aid in tho con.
ssruetion Of roads and bridges, Mr..
Jacob remains firm and while he ac-
kuowledges the necessity Of these I'M.
provements. ho points 10 the Mother
Commonwealth, with her forty millions
Of dollars Of public debt, and her PEG.
pie oppressed by heavy taxation in
consequence, as N example to DO
avoided. There is logic 10 this sort Of
argument; but judicious system Of
internal improvements could certainly
b arrived at without falling into the
evils which now bcset the old State.
Our finances seem to DO in a comfor-
table condition; and their management
10 certainly evidence enough Of tho
competency Of the Democratic party to
carry on the government. On this
importun. subject Mr.. Jacob submits
the following statement:

Stick to a Legitimate Business.

Well directed energy and enter~
terprise are the life of American
progress; but if there is one lesson
taught more plainly than others by
the great failures of late,, it is THAI
safety lies in sticking to legitimate
business. No man manufacturers
trader OR banker-has any moral
right to be 80 energetic and enter
prising as to take from his legitimate
business the capital which it requires
to meet any emergency.
Apologies are sometimes madeS
for firms who have failed, by recur-*
ring to the important experiments
they have aided, andtb unnuu.bsrr
ed fields of enterprise where they
have freely scattered their money
We are told that individuals losses
sustained by those failures will be- as
nothing compared with the benefits
conferred on the community by their
Hberality in contributing to- every
public work. There is little force ir
such reasoning. A mans relations
to creditor are vastly different from
his relations to what is called the
public. The demands of the one arc
definite, the claims of the other are
just what the ambition Of the man
make them.
The histories of honorable SUCCESS
tul business men unite to- exalt the
Importance of sticking to "a legiti-~
mate business; and it is most instruc~
tive to see that, in the greater por~
ton of the failures, the real cause of
disaster was the. branching out bey-~
ond legitimate business, in the taxi
ing hold Of this and that tempting
offer, and, for the sake of some great
gain, ventnring where they did not
know the ground, and could not
know the pitfall.
