NgW POWER PRESS AND ENLAR0E-
UBNT.

1t was our intention TO present THE RECORD
to its readers in an enlarged form the first
week Of this year, but circumstances have
prevented.
Some months ago, we ordered large
power press for our Office and it was to have
been delivered the first of December, but the
manufacturer, who had seyenty-fve orders
ahead Of ours, has not yet been able to deliver
it. We have the promise of it soon. As soon
as it can be set up and tested, we shall make
our con .emplated improvements, and hope to
make THE RECORD SO much better that we
shall win many new names to our list
In the meantime, we ask those who have
received bills from us to pay up as promptly
as possible, SO that we may be enabled to
meet the heavy expense that our improve
ments will entail upon us.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

The first annual message of Governor Lud-
low is very long, but it is very clear and
comprehensive document.
The most important part of the message, is
that which relates TO the finances. After a
pears that this burden must be re-imposed OF
some other expedient adopted AT present
we are running behind, and quite rapidly.
AT the close of 1879 there was balance in
the Treasury to the credit of the State of
$500, 6SS. 63. This balance had been reduced
by October 31st, 1881, to 1851, 274. The ex-
pendtures for the current year are estimated
by the Comptroller at 81, 100 000-an increase
over his estimated available receipts aud the
balance in bank, of $26i, 500. Onr expenses
must be reduced, or our receipts increased
The latter can only be accom- pished by the
sale Of State securities, or the re- imposition
of State tax. This latter the Governor is
adverse to. Principal among his objections. is
the fact that several communities 10 the
State are already bnrdencd with as heavy
municipal indebtedness as they can stagger
under. The former would be but make
shift. The remedy be proposes is retrench-
ment, and the payment Of certain obliga-
tons, such as the salaries of the Riparian
Commissioners, support and repairs of the
Normal and Farnum schools, salaries and ex-
penses of the State Superintendent, &C., out
of the School instead of the State Fund. The
former is plethoric with riches, Retrench-
ment may be effected he thinks, by cutting
down the annual appropriations to such State
institutions as have a surplus reduction in
State Prison expenses; discontinuance of
the re-printing of law and equity reports a
reduction of tho salaries of Legislative off,
Gals; a saving of twenty per cent. in the
militia account q reduction of the number
of official newspapers designated to publish
the laws; the cutting down to smaller COM
pass of some of the State reports, and in sew
eral other directions, which he enumerates.
The message gives concise account Of the
part taken by New Jersey in the Yorktown
and Cowpens celebrations recommends the
Legislature to take some action towards
breaking up the purse net fishing off our
coast suggests that an effort be made to Sc
cure an increase OF compensation to the men
engaged in the life-saying service, and gives
clear aud comprehensive statement of the
operation and condition Of every branch and
interest of our State government.

THE LEGISLATURE.


The 106th session of the New Jersey Legis-
lature began at Trenton yesterday.
The Senate organized by the selection of
Mr.. Hobart as President, and Messrs. Wurts
and Hunt as Secretary and Assistant Secre-
tary. The Governors message was presented
and read.
The House did not organize. Two Demo
cratic members who were dissatisfied with
the action of the caucus refused to vote. The
rulings of the Clerk of last year dissatisfied
some of the Democratic members and they
endeavored to elect a Speaker and Clerk pro
tenn, and claimed they had SO done, but Clerk
Cooper refused to vacate. This illegal at
tempt to force officers on the House came
near producing serious row. Finally, after
the members bad fully disgraced themselves
they adjourned until this morning.
The House Democratic caucus made the
following nominations Speaker-John l..
Dunn, of Union; Clerk-Arthur Wilson, of
Monmouth Engrossing Clerk-Jalns w.
Manager of Essex Assistant Clerk-Timothy
A. Byraes, of Atlantic; Sergeant.at- Arms
Con Donovan of Hudson Assistant Sergeant
at-Arms-M ichael Hurley, of Mercer
In the Republican Assembly caucus, David
w. Lawrence, Of Hudson, was nominated for
Speaker E. w. Crane of Essex, for Clerk |;
Asa w. Dickinson, of Hudson, for Assistant
CLERK Harry Benson, of Union, for Engross-
ing Clerk John Brown, of Gloucester, for
sergeant-at-Arms Theodore Lawrence, of
Mercer. for Assistant sergeant-at-Arms, and
the same Doorkcepers as last year.

We are warranted in largely
increasing our business for 1882.
We have made arrangements by
which we shall be able to mark
our goods at even closer prices
than in 1881. We will have q
larger stock, and our decorative
goods will be even more attrac-
tive than they have been. With
the continued increase Of busi-
ness, there is no increase in the
ratio of expense of carrying it
on, but on the contrary, the
greater business we do, the more
favorable prices we can make to
buyers.

ONE of the objections urged to Upde,
graft is that he has already been elected
twice, and this by some men who sup
ported Dahford three terms without
question, and would have given him a
| fourth if he had not declined.
This objection is not good. What diff
ference does it make to any Republican,
except the few who want the place, who
represents the district in Congress, pro-
yiding he does it well, or how long a
member serves? Besides, it is to the
advantage of tie public that as few
changes as possible be made in the
House of Representatives. One trained
man there is worth half dozen green
horns of equal ability 1t was by keep
ing trained men in the House that the
South exercised such great influence on
the legislation of the country before the
war. Massachusetts and Ohio did like
wise, ard as result no other two states
of the North exerted so much influence
in the House.
The anything to beat Cpdegraff
people are driven to the extreme when
they talk of reducing the service of
member of the House of representatives
to two terms. The masses OF the peo-
pie are much more interested in having
the district well represented than in ad-
vancing the half dozen ambitious states

turn"

were had without change, except on the
Tooth ballot when Harrison coquetted a
little with Noble by giving Dalzell two
votes, which didn't stick long enough to
get solid, but returned to their first love
on the next ballot. During the evening
repeated motions were made to adjourn,
but they were persistently voted down
until at last the delegates becoming
