The Governors Messages.

We surrender our columns largely to
the governors to-day The message of he
retiring governor is chiefly a report of his
administration-an administration mark
ed, ds it simply his due to say, by fidelity
to the duties of the position, unselnsh re
gard to the public interest and intelligent
capacity-all exhibited in marked degree.
Governor Pingree leaves the Office with
the State finances in II condition of re
narkable prosperity, and the State insti-
tutlOns generally in sound working order
and he will take with him to private life
the sincere esteem and respect of the citi
Zens of the State.
The inaugural of the incoming gov
ernor must impress all by its obvious
earnest and intelligent desire to promote
the good of the people. Governor Ormsb bee
dwels strongly on the need of care for
the cause of education and effort for the
improvement of the common schools. He
suggests legislation for a more effective
warefare against intemperance he favors
intelligent State supervision of the rail
roads he recommends the establishment
of an agricultural experiment station for
the benefit of the farming interest he
COmmends various educational penal and
philanthrOpic institutions established by
the State, and for the care of which 1t is
responsible, to the fostering care of the
legislature; and makes various timely
practical suggestions, to which our limit
of space forbds us to allude TO day. The
two messages cover in part the same
ground, as is almost unavoidable when a
valedlctory and an inaugural appear side
by side but both are worthy of attentive
perusal, and we commend the sugges-
tons embodied in them to the careful
consideration of our legislators

We are sorry if Mr. Battell's position
has been in auy degree incorrectly stated
by us and we are glad to give his own
statement of his attitude in reference to
the unfortunate situation in which he is
placed. AS he does not mention any par
ticular misrepresentation reinstatement
on the part of our correspondent, we may
assume that his account of his brief inter
view with Mr.. Battell was substantially
correct. We are able, however ourselvC7
II correct an erroneous statement made
by our Montpelier correspondent. Mr..
Battell has not been recognized by the
speaker as the member from Ripton, Mr..
Battell, as We are informed, has not adj
dressed the chair since his announcement
of his inability to take the oath and there
has consequently been no occasion for the
speaker to either recognize or to decline
to recognize him in the proceedings of the
House nor has he been recognized in any
other way.
We discover in Mr.. Battell's communi
cation no additional fact of consequence
except that his home is in MiddlcbuU
not Ripton Was his home in Middlehury
on the first Tuesday in last september
If so, he was doubly ineligible as repre-
sentative from Ripton. His research
has shown, or will show, him that the
constitution of Vermont has for hun
bred years declared that no per
son holding any Office of profit
or trust under the authority of Congress,
shall be eligible to any appointment II
the Legislature; and that the oath which
