THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

The Virginia legislature began its ses-
sion Wednesday at Il m. Governor Ty-
lers message was received and read.
1t Is an excellent one. He begins it by
graceful allusion to the closing century
and refers with cOmmendable pride to
the work four fathers during the hun
dred years past. He deals with each
subject Of State concerns and makes
some good suggestions. Trusts must
be controlled aud yet capital must not
be driven from the commonwealth. the
land graObers act should be amended
and the constitution, the work of
aliens, more revenue must be provided
from January lst, the people should be
allowed to vote direct for United States
Senator, the use of money in politics
should be controlled, the Fish Com
mission is highly commended, our SOL
der boys generously complimented,
&c, &c.
In closing Gov Tyler pays graceful
aud tender tribute to the memories of
Cows. Mckinney and Holladay and
Judges Coleman, Farrar and others of
our lamented dead. There is head
enough in the message and an unusual
heart-contributiOn. Well said, Gov

are ready for freedom it must be given

money is scarce with farmers, and re-

another dollar to the circulating me.

He closes with pompous pledges to
"build up waste places, >" and to see to
