GOV. KIOI AKIiKON'S JHKSSAOK.
The annua! message of the Governor was
submitted tt? the General Assembly on
Wednesday, ami is a dignified, capital State
paper. There is nothing new or startling
in it. n??r any attempt at rhetoric, but a
succinct, business-like >taUment of tliecondition
of the State.
lie gives a synopsis of the reports of the j
different departments, and it is a subject
of congratulation that financially, educationally.
niriiculturally, penally, charitably
and juridically, Ihe exhibit is so cheering.
There is every indication of faithful and
prudent discharge of duty on the part
of our public ofiicials. ar.d the credit, stand
iug, condition and prospect of our beloved
Commonwealth will compare favorably
with any State in the I'll ion. Then, too,
economy has been practiced and expense?
reduced wherevor compatible with the public
good. The Penitentiary, for instance,
has been in large measure self-supporting
averaging the years of our administration,
und the Lunatic Asylum cost less last year
than preceding ones.
There has been an increase in receipts
from Phosphate royalty, and the Agricultural
Bureau has extended its operations
and influence for good. Our institutions
of learning have flourished, and the schools
luivA increased in numbers i
ami pupillage.
The Governor is very chary of recom (
mendations. for he doubtless krows that he j
is not in accord with the majority of tl.e|
present Legislature and wisely abstains
from obtruding on their preconceived l
views and intentions, so often expressed
in platform an i campaign thunder.
Doubtless lie will bre.itlie easier when he
lays aside the toga of office. It is a thankless
office at best.
IUNURESS.
This body convened 011 Monday, and as
this is the short session there will necessarily
be a hurry and scurry to get through
with its work by the 4th of March wlun.
thank God, the House of Representatives
of the 5ist Congress will Lccome^a thing oi
the past. It will go down to history as the
meanest, weakest and most contemptible
deliberative body that ever disgraced the
"""i- "f n frvn noonle. niul deserves a
UUKM4W " " " I t ?
place tn iho historic ]shelf accorded by
the ur;nipeached verdict of succeeding
general.ous to the Hump Parliament.
Recu has been its Cromwell, and in low'
petty tyranny, political chicanery, and tin-,
blushing impudence, has put "old Noll"
himself to shame. Ibis "greatest ruler
that ever sat on the English throne," as
McCaulcy terms him, had a big brain, indomitable
will and sterling patriotism, and
lived at a time when English liberty demanded
harsh measures and brutal force.
Reed is a white-livered political midget,
with cunning and deviltry backing up a
certain amount of brain, but sc devoid of
patriotism that his stock could be put on
the end of a cambric needle and not veer
it from the perpendicular, lie is the fit
exponcuf, however, of his Republican colleagues
who have managed in one session
to devise more mischief, propagate more
falsehoods and entangle the country with
agrealer cobweb of iniquitous legislation
tban all preceding Houses, unless it be that
of 1807 and '08, known as the Reconslmotion
Houye, when old Thad Slevetis was in
his glory us the Mephistopheles of .Amori1
i ? i i.;..
can politics. Hut then om inuuiuiu u?s
t'ongress wore fresh from the war. and the
taste of blood and glamour of sectional
hatted had not abated or cooled.
But in this day of grace, after a quarter
of a century has elapsed since the dark
tragedy of fratricidal strife, to witness the
schemes' of villainy attempted to be enforced
by these minions of Satan is enough
to make the blood run cold. How far the
recent political cyclone will cause llictn to
pause or endeavor to retrace their step-' remains
to be seen. They may endeavor to
bull through their obnoxious legislation
regardless of consequences, and like the
bound and blinded giant of Israel, seek to
pull down the pillars of the temple, prefacing
even to bo buried in its ruins rather
than have their enemies triumph.
It is stated that Iteed, McKmley ct a!,
will insist on the Senate's passing the
liodge Bill, and even so mild a type of man
and Republican as Gen llawlev, of Confiecticu?,
is reported as saying it should be done.
Then again the reapportionment of Con- '
gressional districts on the basis of Porter's
partisan census may be insisted on. Both (
of these measures arc twin sisters of hatred ,
und malice, but "let her flicker, O'Gallagher;"'
the country will remember them,
and in 1802 even a more terrific cyclone
than that of November 4th will strike them. (
The people are sick and tired of protection
run mad, election machinery devised for (
voMinnnl nnraoses. and false financial
. schemes in the interest of gold barons.
The Democrats will fight the Lodge Bill
in the Senate and reapportionment in the (
House, and by dilatory tactics and refusal
to entertain bills for necessary appropriations
delay and hinder legislation. Then,
too, the holidays intervening will detract .
from the legislative days. If wise, the ,
Republicans will see the handwriting on
the wall, take counsel of its warning, and
endeavor to modify the Tariff, let the Lodge
Bill alone, and amend the Silver Bill; but
they have been drunk with power so long,
and become so puffed up and arrogant, that
it is impossible to expect a change. Not
to be^blasphemcus, they have sinned awav
their day of political grace, and "let Eplir.iim
alone" is their only appropriate epi- ,
taph.
Tire recent elections will give courage ,
and force to the Democrats, and. knowing j
that the people are at their back, they will |

relish they did not have at the last session. ,
Their niolto'should be "lay on McDuff." j
We await with interest the moves oil the j
political chess board, as the session promi- j
scs to be a lively one.

PAIIXKLL.
Tin* proceedings of I lie wont O'.Shea divorce
suit. in which thiseininont IrMi lender
was a co-respondent, startled the world
?t>d has brought him under the fierce light
of burning criticism and merciless castiRation.
lie made no answer, hut, as the law
says, "stood unite." an 1 lot judgment go
again*-! Mrs. O'Shea, and by his silence presumptively
aeknowlonged his guilt. It is1
a mighty fat!, and puts him in t lie category
wilh Dilke and the Duke of Mariborough?
that of a disgraced political leader. Like
"Lucifer, " sou of I lie morning, he has fallen
I from his high estate, but, like that, traditional
worthy, is tallying his hosts and
proposes to wage fierce war on tlie enemies
of Ireland and himself.
Davits, one of the most trusted and ubl? si
of his colleagues, compatriot and former
licu'ciuiiit, is demanding his withdrawal
fr'?m the lcadcrsliipof the National party.
Dillon and OTlrien are in this country,
while .luslin McCarthy and 'J'. I'. O'Connor
have in I beer, heard from. The Irish press,
as a whole, insist on his retaining it, while
Gladstone and the Liberals treat him with
contempt and demand his withdrawal.
Ilis prominence and qualities for leadership
complicates i he situation, and the Irish
cause lias temporarily received a damaging
blow. What makes it all the more glaring
is that O'Slica was his personcl friend compatriot
an.l co-laborer, and the invasion of
the sauctilv of his home and the disgrace
thereby entailed render his couduct ail the
more iniquitous. Guided bv passion and
lured on by the charms of the siren, he forgot
country, self-respect, friendship and
his own future. His obstinate refusal to
step aside evidences a hard and contumacious
heart and an utter disregard of public
opinion. If lie were a lesser man, his
conduct would have been the talk and wonder
of an hour, but his position makes it
too conspicuous, and the consequences involved
too momentous to be lightly passed
over.
1 Meanwhile. Salisbury, I'alfour, and the
it mill will lllllkp
all possible capital out cf it. Of course
there much political clap-irap mixed up
with the talk, but ihe fact remains that he
has been guilty of grossly immoral conduct,
and it is refreshing to see that the world is
not so lost to virtue and virtuous impulses
as to treat his case lightly or condone it.
He lias been a marked man for a decade,
nml in cool judgment, sclf-poiso, equipment,
am! knowledge of his people, possesses
qualities for leadershipJwid management
which no other of his colleagues has. lint
for all this, lie lias been caught '"flagrante
delicto,'' and must take the consequences.
SOCIAL PROBLEMS.
In lt?Sd Henry George, the celebrated
author of 'Progress and Poverty,'* which
has given him a world-wide reputation,
published a small volume with t he above
title, and v.e have read it with much pleasure
and some profit.
While we differ with the author in his
solution of the vexed question discussed,
we cannot refrain from expressing an admiration
at the manger in which lie treats
the subject and the beauty and force of his
stylo. George is the most rhetorical writer
on politico-economical questions the world
has ever known. lie is a master of English.
and stands nsa writer to Adam Smith.
Gocdwyn, Cob! ctt, o:* Sumner, as Dickens
would to some penny-a-linar. He is always
forcible, and in statistical information singularly
accurate.
'J Irs woik is devoted to a consideration
of the pit. sent and future condition of the
United States. His aim is to show thai
the increase of our population, the decrease
of lands for settlement, their absorption
by fewer end fewer people, the crowding of
p 'pnlation into cities, the unjust, disci iraina*
ti >u o' the government, the increase of inon
op >!ics, trustsandsymlicatcs, and theduinpin,*
of the idle, worthless offscourings of Europe
upon us, will in lime revolutionize our
fjrm of government, destroy our liberties,
demolish our institutions, anu demoralize
our lone.
lie liuds fr.ult with our system of taxation,
public improveui?.nts and labor. Ilts
treatise on the false ideas of the rights of
man and functions of government are striking
and suggestive. He spares neither
Federal, State nor municipal governments,
and lashes with merciless fury the inequalities
atid atrociticsof our whole system. lie
is not an agragrianist or conununut, ami
abhots anarchy.
Punning thiough this work as well as
"Progress and Poverty,'* there is a vein ol
genuine conservatism which we cannot help
admiring andjeomraending. 11c is not an
alarmist, but is very pessimistic, and out
of the microscopic minuteness of prevision
sees ahead of its untold and dire calamities.
In reading after him you find yourself as euting
to his facts, and unconsciously feel
that there is groat force and truth in his
ieduifions. but at the same lime you appreciate
the utter helplessness of the situation,
and in beating about for a remedy or amelioration,
can see no ray of light.
We are in a certain condition, with fixed
lines, ami without the possibility of a new
departure. Events have developed our
present condition, and this prosent is the
result of our past. This past cannot be
undone or gone over, and how to frame or
shape the present so as to develop a new
condition for liicjfulurc, is the problem.?
llighls have vested, property is fixed, rules
have been adopted, legislation passed, and
we are as we are, and where are we to gel
the end of the thread by which we can begin
to disentangle? For instance, he says
there should be no jiorcrty or want, and
thet lliere can lw no such tiling as over
production; and yet, if the poorhave'nt tiie
money, how are they to supply their wants,
and if there is a hoarding of stores, which
pro tern, amounts to overproduction, with
out ability to purchase and distribute, how
is the evil to be remedied? Force 'can not
he resorted to. Again, how arc you to
jotnpel equalizat ion of wages and employment
of everybody, anil thus avoid the existence
of tramps, if those who could cm- (
>!oy them will not, or it does not pay them
odoso? <
His solution of ail our trouble is in hold- i
ng land as Stale property, and imposing I
ill laxeson it. IIo and Atkinson, theccon- ;
unisi, have had a recent discussion of these I
opics, and we were struck with ihc.xpo- I
uro of his fallacies by that able writer.? 1
Die scheme is imprAt licable and 5m| o?si-1
hie. Nor d cs he give us a practicable
method as to how to effect. his idea. On
the contrary, the gross injustice in our sys- <
Uiu of taxation is the fale n tses-ment of
personal properly and the non-taxation of .
incomer, and absence of an ndniinistru ion f
tax on estates of decedents | j
It i:, however, pleasant reading on what < 1
' is regarded as dry subjects, and is certainly | <
'eminently suggestive. The attrition of 1
thought it produces and information given I
will repay the reader.

Accident to Senator Hampton

to learn yesterday by a telegram, | q
received by Colonel John C Ilaskell.! tj
that the Senator had met with an ac. \ ai

son, Mr. McDullie Hampton, at or
near the old Hampton place in j
Washington County, Miss.
It seems, as far as can be learned, | .
that as the Senator was about tojP'
mount his horse ho unfortunately hi,
came within his sou's line of lire, asjcr
that gentleman was in the act oj '*
