A new bill is to be introdnoed in the general assembly at its present session to require all insurance companies to return their gross receipts and the telegraph and express companies to return all their taxable property dir ect to the comptroller general’s offloe, paring their taxes also direct to the state treasurer. At present this is all done through the offloee in the several oo on ties. News from Wilmington gives the particulars of the removal of all the military stores from the alleged fili bustering steamer Commodore. They were, it is said, placed on board a schooner from the Bahamas, which had brought fruit, and which sailed the day before Christmas, apparently only in ballast, and which went dir ect to Cuba.

The value of the money and paper taken is not definitely knownTthe officials of the bank ob serving the greatest reticence. It is Slfa.~ifceie fifty Uw oft the statute books of the State, both of these matters depend so entirely upon the im- Inutabie laws of supply and de mand, that all the Legislature enactments in the world will not affect them. The wages of a factory operative are based upon the amount of work he ac complishes, and that depends, more or lees, upon the length of time he works. Cut down, then, his hours of labor, .and you cut down, correspondingly, the amount of his wages. Again, when money is scarce, just as when corn,or any other article of merchandise, is scarce, it com mands, and should obtain, a higher price on the market than when it is plentiful. There is a law on the statute books re quiring lenders to put out their money at eight per cent, or not at all. It is, of course, difficult to enforce that law when there are plenty of good citizens w^o, realizing that the actual market value of money is two per cent more, are ready and wiling to give that for it, and who will not plead usury afterwards eith-‘ er.

The document is an unus ually long one, and contains some good suggestions, though there is a considerable portion of it given up to the rodomon tade that characterized on sim ilar occasions the writings of his distinguished predecessor in office after whom he ie ever seeking to model hie own ac tions and utterances, even though the imitation be of the “milk-and-water” type. The Message opens with “a cursory review of the efforts of a few white men and the ne groes to defeat the holding of this [the Constitutional] Con ▼ention,” and proceeds to de nounce Judge Goff, of the Uni ted States Court, as “a ready tool,” and to designate him, Judge Simonton, and the citi zens who carried the registra tion question into the Courts as “theJ udgesandtheirco-conspira- tors.” “In spite of the efforts to defeat it,” adds the Gover nor, ”our Convention has met and adjourned and given us a good Constitution, and we can well afford to let bygones be bygones and deal with the present as we And it.” We are just as ready as the Governor can possibly be “to let bygones be bygones.” We will always believe, however, that we could have obtained, without holding a Convention, just as good Constitution as he says we now have. While we have never approved of the course pursued by those who, after the election, tried to prevent the Convention from being held, “for the sake of history,” wiich the Governor eeeme so anxious to preserve, since he has him self opened up the discussion anew in hie message, it is due those who were on the other side of the issue to remind our readers that the majority of votes “counted” in favor of the Convention was by such an ex tremely narrow margin, and the efforts on the part of Senator Irby and his cohorts to secure that margin were so very ques tionable, to say the least, that a strong doubt has existed, and always will exist, in the minds of a very huge proportion of our people whether an actual majority of the votes oaat in the election were in favor of the Convention. As a fit counter poise to hie remarkable opening, the Gov ernor closes his message with a Map or two at corporations, in- t*nded, doubtless, to strengthen hie bold on the “dear people”, WfcoM interests be te thus, ap ia the factories interest charged wa do pot ,1 of, own terms. • Among his recommendations of which we heartily approve, the Governor calls the attention of the General Assembly to the Exposition which is to be held in Chicago in September, and advisee them to take such steps as will ensure the State’s being properly represented there. We hope, and believe, that the Leg islature will carry out this re commendation, as well as sev eral others suggested for their consideration,but to which from lack of opportunity we are pre vented from^ referring in any detailed way at this time.
