in whole or Id part fbr the benefits of
tbe institution should be required to
do so. I am not prepared to assert
that tile bounty of the State is now
abused In thl* particular, but it occurs
to me that an efficient safeguard
arrainst such abuse Is to return to the
plan prevailing before the war, and.
instead of supporting the pauper in-f -market and when the debt matures.
mates of that institution by a genertd-
State appropriation, to require each
county to support its own paupers Iu
the Lunatic Asylum as well as at home.
This is entirely consistent with the
scheme of our poor-laws. The gnunty

under local supervldop. It should also
levy and retain supervision of tbe fund
applicable to the support of these more
unfortunate persons among Its Indi

Such general put poses of building and
repaltsas are necessary to make the
Institution avaiiablflr for its humane
purposes.
The revenues of th* State arecoU-
lected with honesty and fldelity. The
mode of accountiug with the aobordl*
nate tax oflkere provided by law Is
rigid, and it is jmposaible to cover up
fraud or negligence on the part of t beeo
oncers. If pbe aocounting Is properly

But with regard to the expenditure

was once Its proudest boast., ^ If we
place it upon the high plane It occu

any governmental securities upon tho
s-.the women saw
fades with tbslr
tion of tbe CoastituMon. Amid the
nmner**us matters eUtmtng the anen-
tion of the General Assem *ly, and
with tbe shortened seesionrs since that
time, no registration law has been
enacted. In my Judgment the die-
charge of this Imperative duty should
^ ^ no -R >n *I er k* delayed. Indeed, in
of the countv revenues b seems to me *“ a,, y psrrlculani, our elecM-m laws, ss
as it soon will do, It can be refunded
at a much lower rate of interest. A
wise and prudent policy will keep this
end steadily in view ; and then with
the increased taxable values, which

en may become an Inappreciable
weight to be borne or discharged with,
equal facility.
^ ki.fx.ti6k laws. *,
The third a* o*i<>n of the eighth arti
cle of the Opnstltution of this State,
adopted twelve years ago, declares
that ‘-it shall be the duty of the Gener
al A-sembly to provide, from time to
time for the .registration of ajl elcc-
tots." Tbtgpoeftlvw mandate id the
“Ounstltutlon has not yet been obeyed.
It is one of the most obvious means oi
securing the purity of the ballot l»ox ;
and the failure to provide It was Just
ly urged Iu complaint against those
who controlled the State G >verntnont
fur tho eight years LMtowtug the adop-jcliNRis la whom the capacity of eelf-
not euperlor, In feeding quality to the
best Timothy, and selling lu the ad-
Jacent markets at |rom twenty to
twenty-five dollars to the ton.
This Improved condition of our
chief industrial Interest Is Indeed grat
ifying, and Illustrates the capabilities
of our favored soil and climate. But
our abounding resources still sadly
need development. Our mineral
wealth, our water power, the products
of ourforests, our agriculture itself,
have scarcely been toughed. “The,
harvest Is plenteous, but the laborers
are few.’’ One of the most pressing
n .-*<1$ of the State * luddst rially is the
advent of an Intelligent and thrifty
Immigration. I conamcnd thls subject
tp you ; and I commend to your care
the recently established Department
of Agriculture, which, wisely cumiuct-
od, I am .persuaded, will be a most
valuable agent In advancing all of tbe
manrlaiinteretus of the Htate.

THK PUBLIC DEBT.
An adjustment of the public debt has
been reached by icgtelativt provisions,
and by a decision of tike courts. There
is no floating debt. The debt funded
ami being funded Is $6039.170. Of this
tbe scrip of tit* Agricultural College,
Htnouuuug to $191,800, Is a permanent
lu vest meut: 'tboJlcfloienoy liouds aud
stock, amounliug to $504,855, mature
iu 18&8 ; and tbe coosoU, amounting
to $5,882,515,’ mature lu 1884. Tbe
whole debt bears Interest at C percent.
In this connection I would very
earnestly bring to the attention ol tbe
General Assembly the annual delay to
the |>ay*jieut of interest. Tbe interest
is payable before tbe taxes levied to
meet it are fully-collected, aud thus
some of the publio Cfo*dtr*r» are sub
jected to delay to rt*fttvtng their dues.
This can be corrected by providing an
eat lierj day fi-r the payment of luxes,
or the Governor anu treasurer might
be authorized to anticipate their col
lection, so far as necessary for this
purpose, by a temporary loan.
Tire consol bunds bear . upoo their
face tbe contract of tbe Huts to rec* ire
the cotipone fr<*m tbe samotu payment
of taxes. During tho period of Ad
justment of the debt it was impracti
cable to do so; but uow there Is uo
reason why the coupons of the Brown
coosols s(]9uld not be thus received.
It Is also advisable as to tkto class of
console, tbat the operation of the law
requiring Interest to be paid in New
Yotk as weliaaat the Bute treasury
should be resumed, bat it to not prac
ticable to pay interest to the holders
of Green consols elsewhere than at
the Htate treasury until after the 000
version of their securitise. ^ The sug
gestions made would prompts tbe
rueveuieoceof the taxpayer, end uo
doubt hasten the reduction of the con
sol bonds and stock to a uniform char
acter. It to also desirable, ax to both
consol and deficiency steefcH, ta adopt

meet with regard to (to registered

MATERIAL PR MlBttS?
Dnriag tbe twu mouths of theroeent
polith’sl canvass, It was my fortune to
pass through every county lu the
Htate except one. Duvoled for tbe
greater part of my Ilfs to agricultural
pursuits, and familial with most parts
of the Htate. I .was surprised aud
gratified aLthe diversified and abun
dant harvests that.^rere everywhere
witnessed. M’iuh of this was due to
propitious seasons, but It was evident
that more was due to improved meth
ods of culture aud the.hopeful energy
and increased thrift of all classed of
our people. To <me cognizant only of
tbe recent past In the agriculture of
the Htate, some of the results attained
are scarcely cfeditabie, I saw one
field of three hundred and fifty acres
which I have since learned yielded this
year, as it had dona lost year, three
hundred and fifty* bales of cotton
weighing 500 ptmods each. Over a
large area of the stuns countiy the
croos upoo the uplands were as luru-
riaut as upon thu finest alluvial a *11.
These uplands were of the character
usual throughout the middle belt
of tbe Slate,. wbieb, In their unim
proved condition, would require three
or more acres ha produce a bale. Our
farmers, too, are diversifying their
crops and paying more attention to
live stock tbao formerly. Ths results
sttalued in th# small grains—oats par
ticularly—are equally suprislug. From
seventy-five (•> one bundrel bushels

’orted la many laatanc*e, and the

ciety exbibted tbe largest aud beet dis

I'heei.
One day lost week five or six wo
rn eo with serious faces and boshed
voices were galheted In a room lu a
house ou Fort Street east. For twu
year* a poor old woman had lived
there, not «xactly a beggar uor an
object of ebarliy, hut certainly* iu
waut. She had a husband when she
first moved there—a poor old unui
wh.*ee days could not be loug; but ouc
day he was misstog. He may have
fallen Into tbe river, or he may have
wandered out iuto tho country aud
died. Thto left tlie old womau alone,
and there were Hays iu which no one
went n**ar her or addressed her. Tbe
other duy when she felt the chill of
death approaching she wanted some
one with her. She bad lived nloue,
but she could not die tbat way. She
wept as tender bauds cluaptnl bore
and kind Voices addressed her. Death
bad already placed Its mark on her
face, aud the women could do nothing.
While their tears fell upou ber wrink
led hand, she passed away aa a child
sleeps.
There was bat little In the room be
yond an old blue cbt-st—battered and
bruised aud splintered, but yet hold-
lug togetbur. It bad seeu strange
times, that old blue chest. It had
held silks and broadcioaths petbaps—
It bad surety bent Tags. It had'bean
moved from house to house and from
towo to town. Tt bad listened to
laughter, aud had heard eobe and
moans, it had grown old 00 faster
than the woman whose bands had 4b
ofl**n lifted Its Ud. It bad doubtless
kept the company of good carpeta aud
furniture and crockery, and toughing
romping children bad climbed over It
or hi Idee 1 iu It. It bad faded, and lu
binges were rusty aud weak, but it
had outlived lu owner.
The womeu looked about for gar-
meuts in which to abroad tbe deed.
Nothing waa In eight. Got ot them
lifted, the ltd of the old blue chest
and called tbe other to help drag it
out from Its dark corner. It held
treasure—such treasure aa men could
not buy nor poverty Steal sway. There
was a drees of fine material, cut after a
fashion of long years ago. For twenty
f ears the cheat had been lu guardian,
t would have sold for a few dollars,
but though the gnawings of banger
had come oftea and tbe celd had
fought lu way to her marrow, tbat
poor old woman would not part with
that reffo ef better days It may have
been a link to ooaoeet her with wealth
and love. B*»oeath it was treasure

of clviiliitioQ au*i moiality, unless

New York, lu an address before tbe
Naur..logical Society of that city, af
firmed, with tbe manifest coocurreues
of tbs emiueat medical gentlemen *
present, that, “of all -eausea, tr i* the
moat prolific lo exciting derahgrtnanta
of the brain, spinal ci»rd and uei v«-a."
Dr. Elmunda, of England, declares
tbat it U “tbe greatest cures we now
have to oouteod with, end Is under-
mining the very foundation of aaflety."
Dr. II. W Richardson, F. R. S .of whom
Up- London Lancet, tho highest medi
cal am borlty lu tlm world, says that
“be Las studied alcohols iu ail form*
more, perhaps, tbsu any otlief phy4-
ologUt living,” has—iu hie celebrated
Cantor F-ctures—shown, with acieutiflu
d wruees aud fullLeas and accuracy,
that the use of aleobtd ss a beverage
depraves every orgsu and tissue In the
system, both functionally aud Struct
urally, of the tnlud as well aa of tbe
body ; and he ad.la that tbe m «t ad-
ora 11 fact of mIIU that these re«uPs
cannot fail lo he transmitted to the
posterity of theioebiiate. ludeed, Dr.
ik»wditcb, of Boston, says that “the sin
of the Intemperate use cf ardent s|dr-
its Is visited not only upon ths third
and fourth generation, but must set la
all time, unless radical reform be in-
stl ruled."
Now. onr main point is that tbe
modern question of temperance Is not
one of abstractions; nor whether tbe
use of alcoholic beverages In any quan
tity to a sia per se. The use of wine
lu tbe time of Obriat, and by Christ,
has very little to do with Ua use now.
The race to in a different physiological
condition. Hidden fires, aneNntly un
known, smoulder lo the blcod of mil-
lions. Heredity aud eavlroument make
ths slightest indulgence fearfully peri
lous. We think U was the great Dr.
Johusoa who replied to one tbat urged '
tbe safety of moderate drinking: “I
can't drink moderately." Millions
have thought they could, and found
their mistake too late.
Htill further, oar wines, oa a genera!
tbiug, are not the simple fermented
Juict-s of the grape. According to Dr.
Richardson, such wines are now ‘ hard
ly known.” Be adds : “A bona fide
wiue, derived from the fermeutatioa
of the grape purely, cannot contain
more than seventeen per ceut. of al-

Nor to even this ail. Resides the com
