THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

FINANCE, THE TINES NETWORK CITY.
LIGHTER TAxATION-THE TREASURY IN SOUND con-
DIrIOA-A CHARTER FOR NEw-YoKK, LABOR, RE-
SUMPTION, THE RIOTS AND SCHOOLS DISCUSSED.
The Governors message was sent TO the Iegsla-
ture YESTERDAY The document is a long one and
treats of a wide variety Of State and National
topics.
The taxation for the next year is estimated at 24
mills the lowest rate for sixteen years. The last
dollar Of tho Gounty Debt has been paid OF The
General Fund and Canal Debts have been reduced.
There has been great saving in the cost OF run
nng the prsons, and the finances of the state gen.
orally are in healthy condition.
The receipts from canal tolls were less than in
1875 leaving large sum to be raised by taxation.
The Governor believes the expenses of the canals
can be reduced one-half by q system of manage
mcnt wherein there shall be only one responsible
head and that the canals can be run under policy
OF low tolls.
The large amount Of unemployed labor in the
State and country is attributed to the collapse fol-
lowing imitation of the currency, and speculation
in railway, mining, and industrial enterprises.
The railroad riots, and the conduct of the New
York troops when called out to protect the property
and preserve order discussed; and IL is recoIa-
mentlcd that the militia be distributed through
out the State that every county shall have at least
one company.
The Governor suggests a question as to the pro-
prety of extending State support to high schools.
Tho extent to which New-York City has suffered
by bad legislation is described in the message. 1t is
stated that city constitution providing for city
legislature of two houses and strong and respon-
sibe executive, would be a proper remedy for the
evils expressing the city.
Reapportonment is urged upon the Legislature,
and many suggestions are made as TO the Excise
Laws, moderate appropriations for the new Capito.
tho proprety of clear and simple Code, and q
steady policy looking toward specie payment The
message concludes with statement Of Democratic
opinion in regard TO the late Presidential election
and the business outlook.
