GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE. Gentlemen of the Senate and of ie Uouse 0f Representatives : la isscmbhn ia obedience to the requirements of the constitution, to discharge the important trusta placel in our hand by our cunfidiiiS fellow Citizen, the expression of our hearty thanks ia due to Divine TroTidence for the signal blessings with which he has crowned the year. Agricultural industry the great source of our prosperity, has been rewarded with abundant crops, and rational enterprise has been crowned with merited success. Although our people, in common with those of most of the other States, have, during the past season, been afflicted with sickness to an unusual extent, yet the number of deaths has been comparatively small, and the smiles of returning health have gin gladdened our hearths. It is gratifying to state, that the condition of our fmancfs still continues to improve. The ordinary expenses of the Government for the fiscal year ending on the 31st of October last, were S09.13G 59 being $1,935 70 less than those of the preceding year. The ordinary expenses for' 1347 are estimated by the Auditor in his lleport herewith submitted, at 87,400. The number of poll returned for 1915 (estimating for tie counties cf Uenton, Crawford, Jackson, Pulaski and Spencer, from which returns have not yet been received) are 126,909, being an increase of 2,201, over that of the preceding year. The value of taxable property returned for 1916, (estimating for the same counties) is $122,2G3,G93, bein an increase of 3,390, 43- over that of last year. T ie amount of revenue paid into the State Treasury, durin the last fiscal year, is y293,Gl, being nearly $14,000 more than was estimated by the Auditor in his report for 1913. No doubt exists that ample funds will bo in the Treasury, under the present assessment and rat of taxation, to meet the July payment required by the State debt bill of last session, should that go into operation. A strong proof of the rrowinj prosperity of t!ie

State, is afforded in the progressive diminution of the J

rate ot delinquency tor the last three years. The rite for 1913, was $17 34 on the hundred ; for 1814, it vras $1G 95 on the hundred ; and 1913, it was $13 IS oa the hundred. The assessment of revenue for 19 IG is, for State pur poses, $113,917 93; and for county, road, school and townlup purposes collectively, $173,79 82. Add to these sums, the delinquencies of former years, -102.59- 01. and the total amount of the duplicates for 1916 is $U93,304 79. While the growing prosperity of the people, and the improving ünances of the State', as shown, in the above exhibit, are subjects of heartfelt congratulation, it ii earnestly hoped and recommended that the same maxims of economy, industry and frugality, under which our condition is, of late. ?o much improved, will continue to be rigidly observed. The recent change of policy, in accordance with the spirit of the age, in the United States and Europe, by which the shackles heretofore imposed upon trade and industry have been struck off. is cause of pro

found gratification to the Statesman, the patriot, the

philanthropist, and to the millions in our own country,

Such were a few of the obstacles that, according to the predictions of some, threatened to prevent tlie raising by the time required, of Indiana's quota of troops. But these and all other difficulties were met and overcome, principally from the ranks of our young men, who are their country's defence in the hour of danger, and its pride and hope in time of peace. They flew to the standard of their country with an alacrity and an enthusiasm that challenge our admiration, and prove that when allowed to share in the perils of the battle field, their bravery is destined to shed an additional lustre on the brilliaut victories which have already crowned our arms. By the 10th of June, only 19 days from the issuing cf the Proclamation, the whole thirty companies were reported to the Executive, and within a few days afier, twenty-two additional companies were . offered, ready for service. Their disappointment was great when informed, that the requisition was already full, and that the services of no more troops could be received from Indiana. Many other companies, in various parts of the State, and in different stages of organization, were, much to their regret, compiled to disband ..on the receipt of this intell igencc. Our three regiments were concentrated at New Albany, not only in ample time, in the opin-; ion of the proper officers of the regular army, but two or three weeks sooner than the means cf their transportation by steamers could be furnished by the United States. An arrangement was made with several Branches of the State Bank, by which they agreed to advance on the draft of the Executive, means to aid in clothing, subsisting and transporting the volunteers, looking to Government for re-payment. The whole sum drawn by the Executive, nnder this arrangement, was $5,219 79, of which $3,7iy 79 was drawn from the Indianapolis Branch, and the residue, bing $1500, from that at Madison. The whole amount drawn was applied to t!e objects in question, exceptiug $17 73 of the last named sum, which, remaining unexpended, has been returned to the Madison Branch, leaving yet due to that institution $1,432 2i. As the only payment made by tLe United States to the volunteers before they left Indiana was for clothing, no part of that was retained to repay the money advanced to them for other objects, unless with their own consent. If objection was made, and, after full explanation, persisted in by a single volunteer,' the retention, as to the entire company of which he was

a member, was necessarily deferred until the time cf receiving the allowance specially made for such objects. Some companies, not needing the whole of their clothing pay for immediate use, consented to the retention, in some cases, of the whole, in others of a part, of what was due from them, it making no diffe -ence to them in the end, out of what payment it should

be retained. Under this regulation there was retained, with the consent of the volunteers, for the loan advanced by the Branch at Indianapolis, $3,109 59, before the troops left New Albany, which has since been duly paid over and credited on the books, of the bank, leaving a balance due to it of $610 19, mounting, with the balance due to the Branch at Madison, to $2,002 41. . ..

The Executive was also officially advised that the

pieces, consisting of masketa, rifles, sabres and pistol?, ded that the former appropriations be so far increased, and that there have been repaired duriugthe same pen- or rather anticipated, ant to insure it completion od, 1176 pieces of similar descriptions, besides 410 hoi-! with the least practicable delay. This isalike re

quired 07 economy, humanity, nnd sound policy. rennit me in conclusic i to express . the hope that your deliberations may . characterized by wisdom and moderation, and to pledge my hearty cooperation in whatsoever may be promotive of the prosperity, the happiness and the honor of our beloved State.

system will be especially favorable to the people of, Indiana, for the products of whose labor, mostly drawn j frcra the earth, they are offered by this means a wider ; an ! better market than they have ever enjoyed. Should this beneficent change be suffered to continue, the opin- j ion is confidently expressed that the far greater degree , of prosperity, which the great mass of the people will envoy in consequence, will forever prevent a reinstate- j merit of the restrictive policy in our country. I In relation to the proposed arrangement for the pay

ment of the State debt, and the completion of the

sters and cartridge boxes ; all of which have thus

been rendered tit for actual service. It will also be seen that by receiving a portion of our last quota of public arms from the ordnance office, in cavalry, rifle and infantry accoutrements, to replace such as had been lost or destroyed, a number of arms, to which they are made appurtenant, have thus a,t a comparatively small expense, been rendered available for service. The suggestions, in the same report, as to the security and transportation of the public arms, are respectfully urged upon your consideration. The fidelity arid energy of this officer in the discharge of his official duties, are worthy of commendation, and as Iiis labors are now much greater than formerly, ii submitted whether he is not also entitled to an increase of compensation. Arms have hitherto been, distributed in the order in which they were applied for by organized companies. It is recommended that this rule be so modified by law, as in all cases to give the preference to siich companies as may pledge themselves to st?nd ready for actual service at the call of their country. A circular from the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, asking fc-r statistical information, in relatiqn to agriculture and manufactures, has ben forwarded to Jnc ; and is herewith communicated to the Legislature. ., Aa I am not in possession of the data from which to furnish the desired information, otherwise than conjectutally ; the subject is referred to your confide--ration for such action as you may sec fit to take in reference to the object, ., , , I submit herewith a communication fron he arting commissioner of the General Land Office, dated Sept; 7, 1946a in which it will be seen, that the selection of lands for the Wabash and Erie Canal made under the direction of my immediate predecessor, as mentioned in his letter to that office, dated Dec. 1st, 1913, has not been recognized, and that it is the wish of the office, that the 33,319 52-100 acres to which the State is yet entitled, be at my earliest convenience selected from lands subject to private entry," a provided by the iid section of the act of Congress of Feb. 27, 1841. The reasons why I have so far delayed acting in this matter were adverted to in my last annual message.

The directicn of the Legislature is respectfully in

voked. For reasons mentioned in my last annual message,

I again respectfully commend to yo ir favorable consideration, the questions as to the policy of transferring the trial of certain small offences Jrom the Circuit Courts to Justices of the Fcace as to the policy of establishing Houses cf Refuge for the moral discipline of juvenile and female offenders, instead of the barbarpus, unhealthy and expensive mode of punishment by imprisonment in the county jails, the question of a thorough and searching reform in our county expenditures, aud the policy of providing for the growing amount of our special and local legislation, by transferring, by means of general , laws, the necessary powers to other and more appropriate trjbunals. ,My views in favor cf each of thesa proposed chang.a which were formerly given at some length have been strengthened by subsequent reflection. The large amount of business performed at the last session may have prevented that matured consideration and action

.200' to in reference to these subjects which their importance, llected,) in my judgment, demands. That the very character

of that business demonstrates the propriety of the

as of

had acted in submitting propositions in their behalf,

resulting in the passage of the bill in question. In th;se resolutions, (which with Mr. Palmer's letter is herewith submitted) it will be 6een that the opinion is expressed, that it will be for the interest of the bondholders to concur in the principle of that arrangement, by the payment of ono half of the principal ar.d interest of the debt by taxation, and the other half by the property and tolls of the canal, from the State

line adjoining Uhio to r.vansville; sueü property to

recommended that an appropriation be early made, to

cover the whole amount due. This course is the nrjre proper, as, with but one exception, these advances were made on the faith of the State, and the amount hereafter retained, would in case of an appropriation, be paid into the State Treasury. Before closing this topic, it is felt to be due to the character of our citizons, to publicly acknowledge the numerous instances in which many of the volunteers

were promptly supplied by their generous and patri

be assigned to three trustees, and the State to be freed j otic neighbors, with clothing, provisions, wagons for

their transportation, and with refreshments, on their way to the place of rendezvous. This was the m re creditable, as, generally speaking, no remuneration for these deeds of kindness was expected, and it could scarcely be hoped that they would ever be heard of beyond the bound of a limited acquaintance. The moneys drawn to aid in raising the troops were disbursed from time to time, according to a prescribed plan, on accounts and vouchers regularly and systematically rendered, which are filed away and open for inspection, Documents relating to the military operations referred to, are herewith submitted. By the accompanying report of the Adjutant General, it will be seen that the business of that officer has greatly increased within the pnst, as compared with the preceding, year. The letters received and answered by him in the year 1815 amounted to but C3, while tiiey amounted to 721 in 1840. The commissions ordered and forwarded through his office in the former year arrjoc'fitcd to but 125, while in the latter year they amounted to 13-0. Deducting from this number the 221 commissions issued to the volunteers sent to the seat of war. and to the additional

Tram responsibility on that portion of the debt and

interest sö to be secured. It thus appears that the principle gf the proposed arrangement has received the assent of the committee of bondholders, while within the sphere of my own observation, and so far as ray. information extends, the expression of the great . majority of our citizens is also decidedly in its favor. Steps have been taken to carry the act into effect oi the part of our bondholders, and I am gratified in b?ing able to state that parties holding bonds to the amount of more than $1,000,000 are ready to surrender them in conformity with the principle of the arrangement. From information, derived from the agent of the bondholders, iho is now in attendance, i: would seem that certua modifications of the bill cf last session are desired on their part. The proposed modifications have not yet been submitted to my inspection, but I am informed that they do not oonflict with the principle of the bill, and yet are deemed essential for carrying into full effect its fair tnd obvious intent. They will be submitted at an early day for the consideration of the General Assembly. Any modifications required for the success or efficiency of an arrangement so eminently conducive to the prosperity of the people and to the honor and reputation of the State, and which will not vary its principles, nor add to the burthens of the people, will, it is believed, be but responsive to their will, and I trust will receive your favorable action. After repeated attempts on the part of the United States for an honorable adjustment of all existing differences with the Mexican Government, consisting in part of the accumulated wrongs and injuries committed on citizens of the United States, in their pcroom and property, for more than twenty years, our amicable relations with that power were 6uddenly termina

ted on the 21th of April last, by the invasion of our

territory by a Mexican force and the 6hedding of j

the bl tod of our own citizens upon our own son. X bis event was duly communicated to Congress by the Fresident of the United States on the 11th of May last, for the consideration of that branch of the Government, which, by a vote nearly approaching to unanimity, passed an act approved on the 13th of the same month, recognizing the war thus commenced on the part of Mexico as existing between the two powers, and authorizing the President to call for and accept the services of any number of Volunteers, not ejteeediug 50,000, for its speedy and energetic prosecution. By a communication from the Secretary of War, dated the 16th of the same month, and received late in the evening of the 21st, enclosing a copy of the act referred to ; I was requested ou the part of the Presi-

deat, to call tor three regiments irom uns oiaie, to serve as infantry or riflemen, and to cause them to be organized at the earliest practicable period, preparatory to their being moved towards the seat of war. In compliance with this request, my proclamation dated the 22d of May was issued, inviting our citizen soldiers to repair to the standard of their country. This call, found our citizens peacefully engaged in their ordinary pursuits, scarcely dreaming of this invasion of our soil by a foreign foe, how faithless soever past events had shown that foe to be. Our military organization, during a peace of thirty year, was broken up and in ruins. No fund3 had been provided by law, to be advanced to the volunteers, before they should reach the place of rendezvous, either for

clothing, for provisions, or lor me expenses oi iransportation. It is true, the United States had made ample prevision fof each of these objects, but payment could not be made to volunteers uutil they should be inspected and mustered into tbe service. AVhnt the volunteer stood in need of, therefore, was a friendly hand to advance to him, or to the proper officer for his use the amount of these necessary expenses, until bcinj accepted into the service of the United States, be houlJ recieve from the pa v master, his due allowance for thee expenses, out of which tie would thue be enabled U replace the mone advanced for his Benefit.'

companies raised for that service, but not received, and still the increase in the number of commissions issued in the year 1310 over those issued in IS 15, shows that the war in which the United States are engaged, has excited a strong and growing military feeling throughout the State. It is well worthy of your consideration whether this state of things docs not indicate a call on the part of the people for an organization of the militia. Deeply as a state of war with any nation is to be regretted, there is no alternative, unless a disposition for peace is manifested on both sides. Many who feel indifferent or even averse to such

J an organization in a state ot peace, regard it as ne

ccssary in time of war. It is uncertain how soon

another call may be made on us for additional forces. Had our militia been organized at the time, it is evident, that the raising of our troops would have been facilitated and hastened, by merely calling on the proper officers, to order out their respective commands, and beat up for volunteers on parade, thus saving much time, and securing the advantage of the force of example, and the enthusiasm of numbers. Another advantage attending such an organization, would be found in its enablinjr the State to return our full military strength to the War Department as a basis. on which to draw our quota of the public arms. Äs they are now drawn on the last return, made in

1332, we are annually deprived of more than one half of the arms to which we are entitled, arising from the great increase in our population 6ince that

time

Your more extended opDortunities, however, have

better enabled you to ascertain the public will upon this subject, by which we should be governed.

While speaking of the increased labors of the Adjutant General during the past year, it is due to that officer to express my deep sense of. the important aid

received from bim. in the raising of our volunteers. So pressing were the duties of his office, and so unre

mitting were his exertions, from the time the call

r . ; v . t upon Indiana was first made until our troops were em barked at New Albany, (to which place we had re

paired on their concentratit o at that point,) that his

entire time was necessarily withdrawn from his ordi

nary avocations. Having no clerical assistance, his

mirhts duriwr that period were eenerallycevolcu unti

a late hour to the public service. The far greater part of his time since, has been occupied with his

military correspondence. I rommend him to your la

vorable consideration for an additional compensation for these services, and also, in view cf the present and prospective increase of his regular duties, that

his salary be also increased. By the report of the Quarter Master General here

with submitted, it will tppcar that since n:s n annual report, he ha succeeded in collecting arms di

tributcd previously to the year 13 12 nd for which bonds appear not to have been taken, to the umouul cf 7X1

It is feared that in tlio brief space of one session, the careful attention required by the public welfare could with difficulty be bestowed upon all the

various and dissimilar questions embraced in so great

a mast c legislation.

In conformity with the act providing for taking the

sense of the qualified voters as to the propriety of

calling a convention to alter, revise, or amend the constitution of this State, approved January 19, 134G, a poll was opened at the annu.il. election held in August las', for receiving votes upon that question. The returns so far as made to the Secretary of State, as required by that act, 6how that 32,521 votes were

cast. ior. anu i.4'5o votes were cast against m in?

a convention. They also show that the aggregate i . it

numuer or votes returned as imving been east upon

tnat question is less than one-naif ot the number of voters who attended the polls and voted upon other questions, and that from thirteen counties, no returns whatever upon that question, have Leen received. I cannot close this communication without submitting a few remarks on the deeply important subject of education. The success of our two Universities and of our colleges, has been all that their warmest friends cou'd desire, and is a subject of just pride and congratulation to the State. I have received from the Indiana University, the Indiana Asbury University, the Wabash College, and the Franklin College, yearly catalogues, exhibiting their actual condition ; and my information leaves no doubt upon my mind, that our other collegiate institutions are now, in common with the four above named, in a more prosperous condition than they have ever before enjoyed. This may, doubtless, in some degree, be attributed to the returning prosperity of the State at large; but it is mostly owing to the superior induce

ments held out to those who are desirous sf acquiring a sound education the healthful situations, the means of economical living, able and accomplished Presidents and Professors, and virtuous associations. . jiut under this comprehenshe topic, there is another subject which challenges our attention by its far greater importance. I allude to the condition of our common schools. Under our simple a. id sublime institutions, all citizens are regarded as politically equal. But to enable the citizen to protect himself in the enjoyment of his full share of political rights, he must be armed with at least an elementary education. He must know how to read and write his mother tongue. This is too frequently regarded merely as a question of expediency. But it should never, be forgotten that it is a sacred debt which we owe to every son and daughter of Indiana, however poor they may be, to place them upon an equality with their more favored associates,, ns to Vhe means of acquiring a common school education. Until this is done, they

are not as equal as they ought to be, nor as we have it in our power to make them.

By this means, they will be belter cr.ab'ed to "know

their own rights and knowing, to ma ii .tain them." They will be better, prepared to sift and analyze pub

ic questions to scrutinize the conduct of their pubic officers, and hold them to a proper. accountability. Very general dissatisfaction is expressed, with our

present school law. It is objected that it is incohe

rent, and that its provisions are vague and conflicting,

A careful revision of the entire school system is re

spectfully recommended.

ureat advantage would arise from the adoption jr

to our system of such provisions as the experience of

other States has 6hn.rn to be productive of happy

results.

An obvious mode of accomplishing this object

would be the appointment of a suitable person to ex

amine into the. condition cf the school of some of

the older Siaics, by correspondence, travel, and per

soual inspection, and to report to a future legislature. I

I am informed, however, that Mr. II; F. West, a gentleman who has recently become a citizen of this

place, hr.s Tor several years devoted his attention, to this philanthropic object, and Is ready to comtuuaicate the results of hi investigations., It is very probable that this will obviate the necessity of resorting to the measure above indicated, and will facilitate action on

this subject." Whatever system you may seo fit to adopt, it is recommended that provision be made for the appointment of a State Superintendent, who shall be charged with the supervision of the entire school system, and particularly with procuring full and prompt reports of the condition and management of the schools and school funds in this State. The Asylum for the education of Deaf Mutes, continues to grow in usefulness under its present able instructors. Thenumber of pupils in the institution since it was established by the State, has increased from nineteen to forty-five; and there are a trendy

assurances, that they will amount to fifty, before the cloe of your prcfen session. Well situated grounds in the immediate vicinity of this place, have been purchased a? a site. fir a suitable edifice ; and it iä recommended that authority be given for its early construction. Co.widcrable progress has been made during the past season, in the cons'ruction in this vicinity, of a Hospital, for, the Insane, which was authorized at the

labt session of the Legislature. It is recommcn-

CHJtnACTtnisTics or Gen. Jackson. A strong trait in Gen. Jackson's private character, not unusual in vigorous intellects, though apparently so opposite to the current of their ordinary feelings, was respect and attachment to female worth. This was doubtless increased in him from early dependence on a widowed mother and from endearing associations

connected with her watchfulness and devotion to the

improvement of his youth.- This watchfulness is a most salutary restraint, often substituted by Providence in the place of a father's hardier power ; and, when it is not always successful in preventing ex

cesses oi errors amidst the numerous temptations of

early lite, it olten excites remorseless remembrances and wins back to duty an erring child. His wife, while dead as well ns living, he regarded almost as a guardian angel. Her miniature was worn near his heart in health, and reposed with his bible by his sick ccuch. Well do I remember, while walking with him once among the tombs of the distinguished dead in the Congressional Burying-ground, whither we had gone to pay the last obsequies to another of their, number, he said'onc solemn request I now urge on you ; should I die in this city, remove my ashes to Tennessee, and let them sleep beside my beloved With whatever correctness, he may have at time.s been charged with rashness under the feverish im

pulses of youth, it is certain that his judgment sel

dom lorsook the litlm in advanced life, and under the

highest provocation in the very tempest of his ajsion, he was remarkably warv and watchful. And

however ardent or even vehement in what he deemed

a good cause, his faculties were usually collected and his bearing firm. Mingled with this true courage, he possessed at the same moment rare m tdesty and

sensibility, lingular as the combination may eeem, yet it is not new in history. . . .

.When existing, it shows, in a more elevated, light i

that strong conviction of duty, which is able to impel men, even of retired habits and delicate feelings, to overcome them all and hazard life itself in defence of what is considered right. One illustration occurs to nie, which at the time astonished some of the less observing as to the mysterious workings of our common nature. When Congress caused swords to be presented to several officers who had signally distinguished themselves in the last war with England, some received them with coolness, and replied to the addresses made on the occasion without emotion. But the great Captain, who had saved a city from being sacked and its daughters from pollution, and who

nau never Dianciieu nor trembled beiore an enemy, F'iook like an aspen leaf, though surrounded by friends, and could with difficulty give utterance to his gratitude.

The indolence, of the Mexicans strikes every one who visits them. The price of cotton there is a rtronjj proof of this. Mr. Thompson, our late Minister to Mexico, in his valuable book, mentions the price at 45 to 50 cts. per lb.; while in New Orleans the price is only 7cts. With as good a climate and as (rood a soil, there is no good reason why they should not raise cotton as- cheap as vc do, if they had equal industry. At Puebla, (between Vera Cruz and Mexico,) which Mr. Thompson says is the Lowell of Mexico, are seven cotton factories. Cotton goods sell for 30 cts. per yard, which in the United States would, not bring over Gets. They could both be get from the United States at one third the price the Mexicans are compelled to pay ; but, actin; on the principle of our own Tariff policy, the Government has been induced

by the growers a"d tlie manufacturers of cotton to

" prohibit the importation of the article." Tue consequence is, that the people of Mexico have to pay as

much for one yard of cotton cloth in Mexico, as would buy four yards in the United States. Journal of

A Strong Kekuke. When the Baltimore Sun

gave publicity to the partisan assault from the camp upon Gen. Butler, the Ne.v Orleans Ddla came to his

defence in a very able, mud, but scathing denunciation of the slander and the palpable motives of the slanderer, alluding to the matter, that paper appropriately

remarks : From our position of neutrality in relation to political parlies of the day, we look down with infinite sorrow and detestation on the efforts of jaundifsd partisans to introduce into the conduct of a war, which

concerns the pride and glory of the nation, the peity

and narrow-minded prejudices or a party. In matters of this nature there sliould be no Whigs no Democrats. The military glory of the. Republic fs the common treasure of the people, tlie reputation of those

who achieve that glory should be guided alike by the

whole people. - .

The Legislature of South Carolina choosos her Presidential Electors. The people of that State are discussing tho propriety of giving the choice directly to the people at the ballot boxes they, toting for

electors by general ticket. ,Mr. Calhoun lias been

requested to give his ppinipn on the subject ; anu in

compliance therewith, lie has published a long article.

He is opposed to the general system, beraiise it places power in the hands of irresponsible mamgers to the exclusion of the people, lie prefers the present mode lo all others; but if the change is to be made, he insists that the diptrict system is. the true plan. Most of his arguments on tlie subject refer exclusively to the local condition of South Carolina, and are inapplicable elsewhere. St. Louis Union. The Difference.
