THE [.AND COMMISSION \\ as undoubtedly one of the wis,o .d.md most betieiicieiK projects ol 'he State but, iro n the odium which has been brought upon it by charges freely made of .-.peculation and personal purposes iu its administration, the results have not been commensurate with tho sagacity and philaul lirophy of its objects. About six hundred thousand dollars have been expended, and thousands of ?eres ol land lu?vo been purchasi !. but, up to this time, only a comparatively small porting of the land has been sold to actual set tlers, and 'he tardiness of the com ?dun should be a subject of it: vi.stsgaii :i oy the Legislature.

COUNTV COMM188ION EES. I would direct your atteutiou to the law? di fining thu powers and ?dutics of county commissioners, and their perver sions ami abuses. From the frequent complaints against some of the boards, it would he Imagined that they were devoted more to private acquisition than the faithful discharge of public trust. In neighboring States the office of com. ty commissioner is looked upon more as an honorary station, bestowed as u mark of confidence and trust iu the judgment and business capacity of the individual, ra ther than as a position of becuniury em olument, aud except in the neighborhood of large cities, the compensation is but trivial, seldom amounting tj moie than from fifty to'u hundred dollars 'per an num. Stringent laws are required for the prevention and punishment of abu se.--, w hich will restrict expenditures with in legitimate bounds, forbid all partici pation, direct or indirect, in contracts for which proposals should be invariably advertised, restricting the amount of county orders issued, constituting the county auditor the permanent clerk of the board, by whom all orders should be signed and issued. TRUST DEPOSITS. Since the Hank of the State ceased operations, there has been no suitable means of security depositing fund* held by the courts, it is of groat importance that provision should be made by law for the security of such funds, both for tho'preservation of a pure administra tion ol that important branch of judicial jurisdiction, and for the protection of 1 suitors, Places of security should bo.in nicated and provision, made for the do posit of adequate pledges from part ies authorized by law to become custodians i of such funds; and m ?aus should be j provided lor increasing sueli securities ? from time to time, so as to afford suffi j eieut protection to all amounts so deposi . led; aud the (.'?mind over Mich deposits i while iu the bauds of sich depositories. I should bo fun her secured by allowing to , the courts summary remedies against them, to the same extent as if they were ! thu regularly appointed receivers of the courts. JUKI RS. The attention of the last General Assembly was called to the necessity of 1 a change in the.systemofsclectingjuries Am at present conducte I, it is liable to , bo, and is. perverted to great abuse, on .tee.ui>.t of the character of the persons jived upon them. It is Uglily i^ipor , taut that the jury bux should be placed beyond the reach of political influence, or prostituted to the purposes of men who are themselves guilty of crime. lUshould bo lided with our best and most reliable citizens. The appointment of a com i missiouur of juries h is been tried iu i some of our sister Slates, aud has becti ; found to work admirably. COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC BUILDINGS. Iu view of the frequent expenditures for furnishing tho public buildings, and the irresponsibility of the mod,o iu which public money is disbursed therefor, I would recommend the designation of \ some officer who should have a supervi sion uf the public buildings aud grounds, and of all expenditures for their furni ture aud improvement. THE BLUE EID?E RA1LUOAD. T regret to inform you that but littlo , progress has been recently made upon tho I.lue Uidgo Uailroad. The liberal policy pursued by tho Legislature was obstructed by parties prompted by per sonal ;?? 'randizement and political pre judices entering into combination lo throw/obstacles in the way of negotiating the muds, which prevent-d their sale at the nuio, and before these difficulties Wt rfl overcome the war in Furopo tutor ' veno I and rendered their sale impractic I ubl</- I have no recommendations to 1 hi i?" on' the subject, as all the laws m lessary are in existence, and will there tfo/o refer you to the annual report qftho president of the road for all the accessary itjforimitiou to au understanding of the d tails. It is exfJRncly unfortunate tb*at personal ambition or political 'vaucor should be pei milted to dolny or inter fere with the pr igrcss and completion of ii work of such vital tratisccodoDt impor-' lance to the prosperity of the State and its chief commercial city. EMIGRATION AND LA BOB. V. LiL- 1 am willing and anxious by all legitimate means to encourage and pro mote emigration to this Stale of all peonies who uro homogenoous in customs and usages with oui own that are willing [.. labor, a.s well as those who will bring into it .skill and capital, I oauool forego the expression ol my opinion that the pas-age and enforcement of stringent laws for the protection of life and prop erty and the free and unrestricted ex pression of political opinions is all that IS necessary to accomplish that purpose in a Mate that presents so many attrac tions aud advantages to the emigrant and Capitalist as ours. LABOE AM? OAPILATi. There has been much discussion upon tho alleged scarcity of labor, alia a variety of schemes.has been ioggostcd for it* alleviation, but thus far without practical result. The importation ol foreigners, either Christian or Pagan, can work an inconsiderable iutlueuce, ?? thse tiro a.s keenly alive to the facilities qf improving their condition na the native ' I whom they attetnp: Ca ?Up^pTaiK, tV?i will j dispose of their services to thos3 who I will pay the highest prices, for them. I My owti impression* is. that too nrcBcnt labor of the country, native fcna to the mrtutfcr born, furnishes the mbolWCWiom icaL; the ml.st skilful and the mu-st cfbcieut system of "labor for Abo ^8t>uth, and cannot advautageously be sub^juted by any other. A. tr.ue appreciation of the mutual dependence ot capual Ufld la bor, and & disposition to artangt hinicu and equitably termsoi'agrocaicnt bxttxvoen them, would go far to iccoucilc, tjxitding difficulties aud retnoy.J a fruitful coAtseof dissension and irritation aiming oufj oW? people.

PRESERVATION uk i'.amkani? I'll*d'At:a Tio.n ov nan. b*A M any ol the States of the Union have enacted laws for the pieservation of game by the prohibition of killing them dur iug the breeding season. As the wuutou and indiscriminate shooting of lu ids and game animals during ttuf breeding 'sea sou must result gradually' hi tlffctr ex tinction, and to the encouragement and multiplication of myriad* of destructive insects, to the great injury uud destruc tion ol" vegetation and ehe cropo, I would call your attention to tho matter as worthy of your consideration. In this connection I would also recommend the protection ami cnconragouicnt of artifi cial fish breeding, by protecting tin owners of fish poudsfroin trespasses an I depredations. A law was passed by the last (icheral Ass ?:uble, authorizing the appointment of eight ti n commissioners ?one fci: each judicial circuit?and defining the duties thereof These appointments were bot nvnde, for tho following reason* : It was found that competent tuen could not be procured for the s .lary authorised to be paid, and no greator results would have been attained by the selection of incompoterit man than without any. It was thought best to leave the whole subject for additional I legislation, in thu hopu that it would conform to the practice prevailing in those'States which have had most ex perience and success in fish culturo, by appointing one pet.su? experi-Mieid in'tho busiuess, and known a*fish eo-nmissioner. Mr. Seth Green?, who has been so * prominently connected with the artificial propagation of migratory fish, has hem during the past ??? immer employed by the Stato of New York in restocking the Hudson lliver with shad, and has been hatching from one hundred thousand to one hundred nn l fifty thousand daily. He states, in a published communication, that he can sat is! v any person with com mon sense that all the rivers on the coast can bo stocked with shad so rrs to tuako them equally plentiful with the old^n time. national csMr.TK;:,, ic.
