In hia judgment, looking at this matter from a business standpoint, ample precis ions art cade in tbe statute for carins for the Senate tome thirty or thirty-two employes with larse say for other employment. Lat session the aamber reached f arty or more, and it cost S7J a weet to hare Utters brought here from the Post oflice, which cost should not have exceeded f 2 la the usual way of business.

Mr. FOULKE: If thia resolution waa worded so to make it refer only to General Maason, there would probably be no objection to it. The only tain g is that the wording of the resolution maxes it au improper thing for the Republicans of the Senate to congratulate themselves, or any one else, on the election of ft Democratic candidate.

The Senate approving, and Senators being fur nished teats in the center of the hall. The LIKUTENANT GOVERNOR, sitting oa the rlht cf the Speaker of the House, called the Con vention to crder, sayiug: The purpose of this Jr int Convention is to htar the biennial mesge of the Governor, and aftar that to count and pub lish the votes est for the Governor and Lieuten ant Governor elect. The Joint Committee hereto fore appointed to wait npon the tiovernor will please attend to that duty. In order to expedite matters I w,ill call upon the Speaker of the House to publish the votes cast for Governor and Lieu tenant Governor at the last election, and we will then have the returns referred to the Secretary of the Seuate and the Clerk of tho House to tabulate the votes, so we may be able to publish the result at the close of the readlns of the Governor's mes sage. The BPEAKEK of the HouFe: I suppose tho ex hibition of these returns lying on the table in front of him In bundles of the vote cast at the last November election for Governor and Lieu tenant Governor of the State, will be considered sufficient compliance with the law on the subject. These are the returns that have been delivered to me, and if there fs no objection they will be in this manner referred to the Secretary of the Sen ate and Clerk of the House ot Representatives for tabulation. The LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR: It U so or dered. The clerks will please take these returns, tabulate them and report the result.

Governor Porter read his message, aa follows: The Messaze. Okntiemen of theSenatk AsnnousROF Repp.k 8ENTATIVES The circumstances under which you meet are not so auspicious as they were when the Legislature last assembled. Low prices have pre vailed for farmers producta. Our manufacturing industries have been depressed. Our mines of coal have not found a ready market for all the coal they could produce. Labor, in many occupa tions, has not been rewarded with steady employ ment nor with adequate returns. When the re sources of the people are diminished it is the duty of the legislator to make the public burtnen as light as possible. The following Is a STATEMENT OF 1111: ITKLIC PEHT. Foreign lrbt.

THE STATS The act of 1S"9, "to provide a treasury system for this State" which act lsstlllin force-declared that the room then occupied, or which rai'rht thereafter be ajUr:d to and occupied by the Treas urer of State, together with the safes, vaults a-ui other ncccBPary means for (the security aad sife keeplngof the public money, should constitute the;Treasury ot the State; aud that the Treasurer ot the State should be reqaired to usa the Treas ury so constituted as the sole place for the deposit and safekeeping of the State's moneys; and the Auditor and Treasurer were required, under tbe direction of the uovernor. to provide such addi tional locks, safes and vaults as might render the public funds absolutely secure against fire and burglars, and "appropriation" wa thereby made "oi bucu tuouey aa aay be necetary too--. diu tue same." During the last summer many articles appctred la the public pres charging taat the Treasurer did not keep the public funds in the safe or vaults of the Treasury, and urging that II, a was alleged, the ssfe or vaults were insecure, the Governor should require the Auditor aad Treasurer to pro vide such additional locks, safes and vaults as were contemplated la tho act above cited, if the appropriation to which I have referred wis a con tinuing one, available whenever the safe or vault were li secure, the duty 0 the Governor t require the Auditor and Treasurer to provide ad litioaal loci?, safes and vaults was clear. Ithal. ho.v ever, for many years beea notorious that tha -are and vaults weie Inecurc, yet no requirauieat of this sort had been mde bv any of my phm"C?s sora. It not appearing obvious, therefore, from the statute that the appropriation was a perma nent one, I inferred that It had not so bo'n re garded by my predecessors as being so, and might Dot be so regarded by the Courts. I decided, however, when the question was urged, to take the opinion of the Attorney Genera). After a careful examination, he alvii2d me that the sppropriation was still available. I then appointed two Llhly competent expert, belong to diil'ereut politics! parties, to examine the safes and vaults, and to report whether ih-y were 8 cure. Altera oareful examination, they reported that they were not secure cither ai-nst tie or bursars. I thereupon aidressea a leiter to the Auditor end Treasurer, informing tliena ot tba retult of the examination, and requiring them t3 provide such locks, safe, aud vaults as w o iid rea der tho Treasury scura la both thc-se respois They. toever. decided t ot to comply wun tia requirement Asthe tv.ute, with re-:pe?t to t ie availdt til y of the appropriation is not cnitre'y clear, ss a rtquirerrtut nicilar to the one 1 mid. bad not teen made bran of ruy predecessors; arid ss a proceeding asralrist these officers byraiadat j could cot. in all Jikeühovvl, bj pro-ecite-1 t) a conclusion teTore the priseat meeting of tte I.e-ia.'atur-.

No ma;ter wtat political prty hsbcn In pivr?r, the pub lic moneys have thus teen disp icd of. Keoest cd'y. when the Legislature has brcu ia scssio;;, the fact of such misappropriation has beea nub licSy stattd la delates in the two bouses. Tha suchausajre should be allowed is nnjast to tti taxpayers, and not creditable to the 11. Tnat if Iiis long tolerated a great Ios3 of the State's money will fomftixe occur, can not bedoab'-el. Yet that the public moneys, si Jons as thrjy ar dtpcsUed by prudent Tressarers in banks, or loaned to private individuals, ate not les sc ire than they would b if kept Ij the safe and vault now provided for them, is undeniable. Tte Treasury law, as it now is. furnishes no protect loa to the Treasury except in 90 far as it re quires the Treasurer to give a bjnd with sureties for the safe keeping of the State's moneys. Yet though at certain seasons of eica yeir he has nearly $J,0CC0C0 of money in his hands, the bond given by him ia in the sum of S150.0X) onty. The legal provision for an examination, under direction of the Governor, of the books, etc.. of the Treasurer Is predicated npon the supposition that a suitable vault and safe have been provided fox the custody cf the State's moneys. The mpans aflorded for an examination, under the Gov ernor's alretfion. are absurdly insufficient. The statnte provides that It shall be his duty, when ever the law, or. In hla opinion, the public In terest requires it, to appoint some competent and tru&twortby accountant "of the highest ability and skill" to make an examination of the assets and eßecta, books, claims, vouchers, etc, which are or should be in the Treasury, but it eajelas thst the secenntsnt shall not be paM mors thn $3 a day for his sertioes.

The subject of the State Library Is one that Fhould be of special interest to the Legislature. The boots are provided with peculiar reference to the wants of the members and officers of that body, and of the State officers. The selection of new books should not be confined to a single per son, but to a competent number of persons wLese tcupations Indicate a possession of tho knowledge which would enable then to make a judicious selection. a mem ber ol tbe Legislature needing information duriug tbe session to enlishtea him with respsct to his duties, or a SUte officer needing like inforras,tion. should have the assistincj. wteu practicabla. of a librarian who tan lnstautly refer to whatever his been written npin tho sab; em wnich he desires to read or laveatltate. Lihrarisns, in all the grest libraries, are trained persons, chosen for the va riety ana freshptss of their knowledge, and a faculty of finding, with Instantaneous facility, wbatever is contained in the books la their charjro.
