The Ohio State Journal pays the fol
lowing handsome compliment on the
manner In which the Lieutenant Gov--
ernr and Secretary of State discharg
ed their duties in organizing the two
Houses of the General Assembly:
Lieutenant Governor Lee is a mod
el presiding offices, i Of fine presence,
commanding voice, courteous manner,
and rapid, precise, juxt perception of
both business and propriety, tie is ir
reproachable in the exercise of the
duties pertaining to his ofiie.
General Sherwood, Secretary of
State, is much complimented for the
skill and efficiency with which he per
formed his duties upon the organiza
tion of the House. A self-possessed,
prompt, decided presiding officer is-a
blessing to any deliberative body.
RESCINDED.
Tlie New York Legislature (Demo
cratic), on January 6th, passed a bill
repealing the ratification of the 15th
Amendment by) the former legisla
ture. Will this "back action" affect the
former ratification of the Legislature?
The amendment was formally rati
fied, properly endorsed, and placed on
file in Washington1 with the Secretary
of State. 4 We do not believe tliat tlie
action of the last New York Legisla
ture will avail much. If it does, we
can see but little use in ratifying any
Constitutional amendment In this
case it becomes nothing but the play
thing 'ft the party in powj-f tori, sug
gests mat there is something that
needs remedying in4our mode of Gov'
eminent.
But what shall be-said of the action
of tlie New York Democratic Legisla
ture? It has made an attempt to
have the world move unfortunately,
howeveTj in a backward direction.

CONGRESS.
In the House, Monday, upward of
thirty bills and resolutions were pre
sented. Among the former were bills
extending the operations of the Na
tional Banking Act, and to revise the
Currency Acts. Mr. Paine presented
his bill for tlie reapportionment of
BcpresentauTea. Mr; 1 Bingham, in
troduced a joint resolution to admit
the State of Virginia to representa
tion, and called for the previous quest
ion, which was ordered. After vari
ous filibustering motions, the vote
ordering the previous, question . was
reconsidered, and the resolution went'
over. Among the petitions and mem
orials presented, was one from the
Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce,
asking thatJCindnnati be made a port
of Gentry.' Pending tlie &scttssioiioii
the Invalid Pension Bill, the House
adjourned.- " ' .ui-t. -
In the Senate, the President pre
sented various communications and
memorials, including petitions for a
free banking law, for the recognition
of Cuban independency and, fox the
abolition of the' franking"' privilege.
After the introduction of a number of
bills and resolutions, the bill for the
admission of Virginia was taken up,
on motion of Mr Stewart. Mr Seward
objected to the present consideration
of the bill, and cited the ease f Tenn-
essee as an example of tlie evils of
hasty legislation. After a protracted
debate, the Senate, wiihout disposing
of the bill, went into executive session,
and soon after adjourned. . .
In the Senate on Tuesday, Mr. Sum
ner gave notice of his bill to fund the
debt, extend the banking fatalities,
and r resume specie . payments. .The
bills exempting canned and preserved
fish from internal revenue tax, and in
relation tothe Hot Springs re&ervt
tknvand the joint resolutions extend
ing the limits of the port of New Or
leans, were passed. Mr. Sherman re
ported, from the Finance Committee,
fcWititulaJotijiilpropoaiiioiib rela
ting to the finances. The Virginia
Bill was taken up, and further con
wderation postponed. Th President
sent to the Senate a message vetoing
the bill extending the patent of Rollin
8. White, which was laid on the table.
The Senate then went into a short ex
ecutive session and adjourned. In
tlie House, Mrv Bingham withdrew
his bill for the admission of Virginia,
intending to offer it as a substitute for
the one to be presented by the Itecon
struction Committee. . Mr. Farns
worth,' from.; that Gininiittee, ! then
presented a bill for the admission of
that State. It was ordered to be

Mr. Bingham. Various bills were in

INAUGURATION DAY.
INAUGURATION DAY. Inaugural Addresses of Gov. Hayes and
Lieut. Gov. Lee.
COLUMBUS, January 10.
Contrary to all previous expectation,
j uie uay ior tne inauguration oi uie
vovenior eiect iiirnei out to oe nne
and fair. At noon the sun broke
through the clouds that had up to that
time sought to obscure his rays, and
when the military marched through
the streets to show themselves a
litt!e before proceeding to the Gover
nor s mansion to escort him thence to
the Capitol, their bayonets and trap
pings glittered brightiv.
The Sherman Guards, a they step
ped out paily to the music of the Capi
tal City Band, made a very creditable
display, and reminded one of the
"pride, pomp," etc., on a small scale.
At 2i P. M.f the Judges of the Su
preme Court, State officers, represen
tatives of the press, members or tne
City Council, clergy, &c, assembled
in the SenateChamber, meeting there
the members of both Houses of the
General Assembly. Thence, accord
ing to previously arranged program
me, all these moved in procession to
the rotunda of t he Capitol, where ac
cording to the arrangements of a joint
committee of the Senate and House,
the ceremonies of inauguration were to
take place.
When the procession had reached
the rounds, a brilliant spectacle pre
sented itself. A platform, deeply
draped in colors from the flag room
of the State House, and just under
tliat absurd picture in which Commo
dore Perry is represented in full uni
form and with drawn sword, making
that transfer from one vessel to an
other, which constituted the romantic
feature of the battle of Lake Erie, had
Ijeen erected.
' In the center of the rotunda were a
large number of ladies, for whom seats
had been prepared. Beyond these.
and filling to repletion the remainder
of the rotunda stood closely packed
the masculine portion of the audience.
Tlie broad stairs leading up to the
Chamber of the Senate and House,
were mostly occupied by ladies,
amongst whom a few gentlemen had
here and there insinuated themselves.
Soon the crowd was stirred by the
music of the band, which burst forth
lust as the Governor elect, the Lieu
tenant Governor elect, members of
the Committee of Arrangements, and
others, appeared marching in proces
sion from the Executive Chamber to
the platform in the rotunda.
Governor Hayes stepped upon the
platform with that firm step which
showed conclusively that he had
'been there before." His countenance
wore the same calm expression that it
usually does; nor was it tinged with a
particle more color than it is on ordi
nary occasions. In fact, Governor
Hayes is always a decidedly cool man,
notwithstanding his sanguine temper
ament and red hair.
As soon as the music had ceased,
the Rev. Isaac Crook, of the Method
ist Episcopal Church, addressed the
Throne of Grace in prayer.
The Governor then stepped forward
and delivered the following inaugural
address: .
INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF GOVERNOR
HAYES.
Gentlemen of the Senate and House
of Representatives:
In the annual message transmitted
to the General Assembly, a few days
ago, a brief exposition of the condi
tion of the State government was giv
en, and such measures were recom
mended as the public good seemed to
me to require. It will, therefore, not
be expected that on this occasion I
should again discuss subjects pertain
ing to the usual routine of legislation.
The most important questions con
cerning State affairs, which, in the
natural course of events will engage
the attention of the people of Ohio,
during the term of office upon which
I now enter, are those which relate to
the action of a Constitutional Con
vention authorized to be called by a
vote of the people at the October elec
tion, in 1871. The present organic
law provides for submitting to the
electors of the State once in twenty
years, the question of holding "A
convention to revise, alter or amend
the Constitution." It is no dispar
agement of the work of the last Con
stitutional Convention to say that ex
perience has already demonstrated the
wisdom of this provision. It would
be strange, indeed, if the last eight
een years had developed no defects in
the Constitution of 1851.
It is, perhaps not improper at this
time to call attention to some of the
amendments of the existing funda
mental law which the next Constitu
tional Convention will probably be re
quired to consider, v
The provision of the present Consti
tution which prohibits tlie General
Assembly from authorizing "any
county, city, town or township, by
vote of it citizens or otherwise,"rrom
giving aid to any "company, corpora
tion or association" was designed to
remedy an evil of the gravest magni
tvde. 'Unlimited power to authorize
counties, cities and towns to subscribe
to the stock of railroad companies,
had burdened the State with indebted
ness and taxation to an extent which
threatened bankruptcy. Experience
has shown that tlie clauses of the
Constitution on this subject, are so
sweeping that they are almost equiv
alent to a prohibition of the construc
tion of railroads, except where those
who control the existing railroad lines
furnish tlie means. In many locali
ties the people are thus deprived of
tlie only instrumentality for inter
course with other parts of the State
and country which is now regarded as
valuable. By reason of it important
sources of wealth in large sections of
the State remain undeveloped. It is
believed that amendments can be
framed under which effective local aid
can be furnished for the building of
railroads, and which at the same time
shall be so guarded and limited as to
prevent a -dangerous abuse of the
power. 1 ' - ...
For many years political influence
and political services have been es
sential qualifications for employment
in tlie civil service, wheiher State or
National. As a general rule, employ
ments are regarded as terminating
with the defeat or tne political party
under which they began. All politi
cal parties have adopted this rule. In
many offices the highest qualifications
are only obtained Dy experience.
Such are the positions of tne Warden
of the Penitentiary and his subordi
nates, and the Superintendents of
asylums and reformatories, and their
assistants, isut the rule is applied to
these as well as to other officers and
employments. A change in tlie po
litical character of the executive and
legislative branches of the Govern
ment is followed by a change of the
officers and employes in all the de
partments and institutions of the
State. Efficiency and fidelity to duty
do not prolong the employment: un
fitness and neglect of duty do not al
ways shorten It. The evils of this
system, in State affairs, are perhaps
of email moment, compared with
those which prevail under the same
system in the transaction of the busi
ness of the National Government
But at no distant day they are likely
to become serious even in the admin
istration of State affairs. The num
ber of persons employed In the va
rious offices and institutions of the
State must increase, under the most
economical management, in equal ra
tio with the growth of our population
and business.
A radical reform in the civil service
of the General Government has been
proposed. The plan is to make quali
fications, and not political services
and influence the chief test in determ
ining appointments, and to give sub
ordinates in tlie civil service the same
permanency of place which is enjoyed
by . officers of the army and navy.
The introduction of this reform will
be attended with some difficulties.
But in revising our State Constitution,
if this object is kept constantly In
view, there is little reason to uouoi
that it can be successfully accom
plished. . Our judicial system is plainly inad
equate to tlie wants of the people of
the State. Extensive alterations of
existing provisions must be made.
The suggestions I desire to present in
this connection are as to the manner
of selecting Judges, their terms of of
fice and their salaries. It is fortunate
ly true that the Judges of our Courts
have heretofore been, for the most
part, lawyers of learning, ability and
integrity. But it must be remem
bered that tlie tremendous events and
the wonderful progress of the last
few years are working radical changes
in the condition of our society. Hith
erto population has been sparse, prop
erty not unequally distributed, and
the tiad elements which so frequent
ly control large cities, have been al
most unknown in our State. But,
with dense population crowding in
to towns and cities, with vast wealth
accumulating in the hands of a few
persons, or corporations, it is to be
apprehended that tlie time is coming
when judges elected by popular vote,
for short official terms, and poorly
paid, will not possess the independ
ence, required to protect individual
rights.: Under the National Consti
tution, judges are nominated by the
Executive and confirmed by tne Sen
ate, and hold office during goid beha
vior. It is worthy of consideration
whether a return to the system estab
lished by the fathers is not the dictate
of the highest prudence. I believe
that a system under which judges are
so appointed, for long terms, and with
adequate salaries, alford to the citizen
the amplest possible security that im
partial justice will be administered 1 y
an independent judiciary.
I forbear to consider further, at tins
time, the interesting question- whioh
will arise in the revision and amend
ment of the Constitution. Convinced
of the soundness of the maxim that
'that government is iest which gov
erns least," I would resist the tenden
cy common to all sj-stems to enlarge
the functions of government. Tlie
law should touch the rights, the busi-1
ness ana tne reelings of the citizen at
as few points as if consistent with the
preservation of order, and the main
tenance of justice. If every depart
ment of Government is kept within
its own sphere, and every oilicer per
forms faithfully his own duty with
out magnifying his office, harmony,
efficiency and economy will prevail.
Under the Providence of God, the
people of this State have greatly pros
pered. But in their prosjjtrity they
can not forget him who has won the
battles, nor his widow, nor las orphan,
nor the thousands of other sufferers in
our midst, who are entitled to sympa
thy and relief.
They are to be found in our hospit
als, our infirmaries, our asylums, our
prisons and in the abodes of the un
fortunate and the erring. The found
er of our Religion, whose spirit should
pervade our laws, and animate those
who enact, and those M ho enforce
them, by His teaching and His ex
ample, has admonished us to deal with
all these victims of adversity, and tiie
children of our common Father. With
this duty performed, we may confi
dently hope that for long ages to come
our country will continue to be the
home of freedom and the refuge of the
oppressed.
Grateful to the people of Ohio for
the honors they have conferred, I ap
proach a second term in tlie Execu
tive office, deeply solicitous to dis
charge, as far as m me lies, the obli
gations and duties which their partial
judgment has imposed.
The oath of office was then admin
istered to the Governor by Chief Jus
tice Day.
The crowd then proceeded to the
Senate Chamber, where the oath of
office was administered to Lieutenant
Governor Lee, by Justice Brinkerholf,
and the Lieutenant Governor spoke
as follows:
INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF LIEUTENANT
GOVERNOR LEE.
Gentlemen of the Senate:
In assuming, for a second term, the
duties of this chair, it becomes me to
thank you for your very kind and
courteous treatment in the past, and
to express the hope that our future re
lations may be pleasant, and of ser
vice to the State.
My sole duty is to aid you in your
work of legislation. If I err, you can
correct. You have the responsibili
ties of legislators, and hence the pow
ers of Legislatures. It is mine to as
sist you in the exercises of those pow
ers, and in the meeting of those re
sponsibilities. Although each is elect
ed by but a fraction cf the people of the
State, yet each is a Senator for the
whole State. Being a Senator for the
whole State, no more local interest
should control your legislative action.
The Senator from Cuyahoga should be
no less watchful of the rights and In
terests of the people of Hamilion. of
Lucas, of Washington or Franklin,
than of the people of Cuyahoga. No
Senator can enact wisely, that enacts
laws of a general character, which,
while they benefit a few, injure a
great number. No Senator enacts or
refuses to enact, wisely, who so enacts
or refuses to enact, from any other
consideration than the intrinsic char
acter of the question passed upon. In
some legislative bodies, sometimes
votes are given because requested,
either by feliow members or others.
Such votes may have the legal effect
of legislation, but they have not the
primal elements of sound legislation.
The approval of the enlightened
judgment of the legislator is wanting.
The brain and conscience elected by
the people are put in abeyance and
something else substituted.
In some legislative bodies, some
times, voters are traded or exchang
ed, and thus results attained, not war
ranted by the intrinsic merits, of the
subject matter. I am informed that
In a recent canvass before the people,
a candidate for rejection to a legisla
tive seat justified s vote for a bill by
saying that he thereby procured two
votes for another bill, in which he
supposed his constitutents much inter
ested. No people of any State can say
"well done" of such legislators. Do
the people of the State, or a large part
of the State, exeept too much of any
Senator when they demand that
his vote shall be his best judgment to
be formed on the inherent merits of
each question? I think not. Let me
think that such is the opinion of every
Senator. With such an opinion de
veloped in actual work in this chamber,
I will know that the people can not
regret their choice.
Here, you are all Senators alike, and
so far as this Chair can see or hear, it
can see cr hear you each and all alike
as Senators.
The crowd then dispersed, and the
Attorney General elect and Treasurer
or state elect proceeded to their re
spective rooms in the State House,
where they took their oath of onicc,
Stanton and Buchanan's Cabinet.
Wendell Phillips, in a recent article
on the death of Mr. Stanton, says of
the latter:
While a member of Buchanan's
Cabinet, at the beginning of the war,
he was met by the same question in
morals which has been so much dis
cussed in the matter of Sir Henry
Vane's producing his father's private
notes, as secretary or tne uouncu, on
the trial or the Earl of Btrattord "is
one bound to keep treasonable se
crets?" This question Stanton an
swered as Vane did, by doing his
whole duty as a citizen. We know
that the proper Congressional com
mittee received information of all the
important debates and decisions in
Buchanan's Cabinet, within twenty-
four hours after they took place,
While traitors, shrouded in secret
sessions, supposed their conduct rela
tive to Fort Sumpter and the Star of
the West would be known only by its
results, the next sun never rose with
out seeing in the hands of Congress
the mysterious pencil notes which ex
actly described the treason. We have
most trustworthy reason to believe
that these came from Mr. Stanton.
They blocked the pathway of tlie
traitors. This action shows the man
ly character of his moral sense; no
dark, shuffling, equivocating quibble,
but the healthy, robust loyalty of a
thoroughly true man.
FATAL ACCIDENT.
Sad Result of a Sham Battle at Soldier's
Reunion—A Veteran Instantly
Killed.
From the Springfield (O.) Advertiser.
From John M. Fish, who returned
to the city last (Friday) evening after
a business tour in the northwestern
part of the State, we receive informa
tion of a lamentable occurrence at
tending the annual reunion of the
94th regiment at Piqua on the above
mentioned day.
Among the crowd at the Troy sta
tion, on the Dayton fc Michigan Rail
road, awaiting the arrival of the train
from the north, at six o'clock last
evening, was a young wife, expecting
to greet her soldier husband on his
return from Piqua, to which place he
had gone for the purpose of participa
ting in the annual reunion of his com
rades or tne veteran yn v. v. i.
As the train drew up at Troy station
the unfortunate lady was met by sym
pathizing friends, who broke to her
the terrible news that her husband
had been thrown from his horse,
while taking part in a sham battle,
and almost instantly killed, his re
mains being in the baggage car. The
wife gave one? heart-rending shriek,
and fainted into the arms of the by
standers. The affair caused great com
motion at the depot, and in the con
fusion our informant was unable to
gain any further knowledge as to the
identity of the parties before the train
started on its way.
The Negro Printer to Brick Pomeroy
TALLMADGE, Jan. 1.
Eds. Herald: In a late issue of
your paper, you say that Brick Pome
roy has said that he once worked at a
case alongside of a negro printer, and
says he is proud of the fact. You then
say, "Now let us hear from the dar
key." Well, sir, I am tlie very darkey
whom Brick worked alongside of and
if he is proud of it. I must say that
am not-, on the contrary, lam asham
ed of it. Brick was good enough in
his way, but if he could not have that,
even the devil was no match for him.
Please remind Brick tliat he owes me
$2,70, borrowed money at tliat, and if
he is proud of any one thing, perhaps
he may yet be proud to say, I owe no
negro. Who knows? If he ever gets
in that frame- of mind, he will find
me at Tallmadge, ' Summit County,
Ohio. I am now rather crippled up,
but my Heavenly Father knows that
I would starve before I would again
work at a ease alongside of Brick
Pomeroy. Very respectfully,
NOAH PICKETT.

The telegraph operators in Memphis
refused to strike. New Orleans is the
only city south of there that has
struck. Operators from Memphis and
other points have gone there to take
the places of the strikers. The Mem
phis Tvpoeraphieal Union, Saturaday,
passed resolutions syinpathyzing with
the strikers, but declined to adopt tlie
suggestion of the iNasiiville union in
reference to refusing to set up the press
dispatches.

Since the 1st of January, the rate of
postage between this country and
England, is only six cents. One year
ago the rate was twent3T-four cents;
then a reduction was made to twelve
cents, now half that figure. This In
deed, is an important reduction, and
one that will give satisfaction to mil
lions on both sides of the Atlantic.
While this reduction appears to be a
matter that will benefit the people
only, it will In reality increase the
vast sums received for ocean postal
service. Hundreds or tnousanus or
neoDle in England and Ireland were
unable to write except at long inter
valsto friends in this country when
the rate was twenty-four cents. That
may seem a small sum in this coun
try, but in England a man looks many
times at a shilling before he sticks it
on an envelope. Shillings are valued
there far more than dollars in Ameri
ca, when tne rates were reoueea, it
was found the number of letters in
creased more than one-half, and the
revenue proportionately. The further
reduction will still increase the num
ber of letters dispatched.

THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM OF OHIO.
Mr. Woodward offered 8.J.R. No.
9 relative to the judicial system of
Ohio, and proposing an amendment
of the Constitution in regard thereto.
The resolution proposes to submit to
the people on the second Tuesday of
October, A. D. 1871, the question of
amending the Constitution with re
gard to the judicial system of the
State. The amendments are prepared
as substitutes for sections one, two,
three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
eleven, twelve, fourteen, fifteen, six
teen and eighteen, of article four, sec
tion twelve, of article eleven, and sec
tions twelve, thirteen aud fourteen, of
thescheduleTO the Constitution. They
propose no material change in the Su
preme Court as at present constituted,
but the present District Court is to be
superceded -by a District Court en
tirely distinct from othercourts. There
are to be fifteen judicial districts in
the State, in each of which a judge is
to be elected for three years, who may
hold a district court anywhere in the
State. This court Is to be held by
three judges and is to have original
jurisdiction in quo warranto manda
mus, etc., and such appelate jurisdict
ion as may be provided by law. It
must hold at least two terms in each
year, in each county of the State.
The present Common Pleas system
to be superseded by a Common Pleas
Courts, of which there shall be elected
for three years, a judge In each county,
who may hold court in any county of
the district Probate Courts are to be
abolished, and their jurisdiction
merged into that of the Common
Pleas, which shall have such other
civil and criminal jurisdiction as may
be provided by law, and which shall
be open at all times for the transaction
of business. The Legislature may,
however, give vacations of not more
than three months in any one year.
The amendment provides for the elec
tion of Clerks of the Court of Common
Pleas, who shall be exofficio Clerks of
the District Court Clerks and Judges
of the Common Pleas are to hold their
office for tliree years. Clerks and
Judges of the District and Common
Pleas are first to be elected on the first
Monday of April, 1872 and their terms
are to expire on the second Monday of
February, 1874. Other Courts than
those mentioned are not affected by
the proposed amendment
The resolution was laid on the table
and ordered to be printed.
The Senate then. adjourned until 2
p. M. on Monday next
THE TELEGRAPH STRIKE.
A Card from Officers of the Company.
EXECUTIVE OFFICE W. U. T. Co.,
145 BROADWAY, NEW YORK,
January 6.
To the Public:
Since the publication this morning,
of the card signed by the officers of
this company, explaining the circum
stances out of which the strike of op
eratives arose, a full and detailed
statement of what occurred in Cali
fornia, has been received from the
Company's agent, Mr. Mumford.
They are as follows:
About the middle of December, Su
perintendent Gamble, desiring to re
adjust the compensation of the em
ployes at San Francisco, according to
the value of their services, gave no
tice to two operators that after Janu
ary 1 their salaries would be reduced
from $120 to $115 per month and to
a third that his salary would be in
creased from $100 to $120 a month
making an increase in the aggregate
compensation of the three of $10 a
month. Acting on these notices, as
is supposed, the operators at San Fran
cisco united in presenting a schedule
of salaries, which they asked to have
adopted. In this schedule, the two
salaries which Mr. Gamble proposed
to have reduced, remained as before,
and an increase of four others was
asked for.
Mr. Mumford so far assented to tho
schedule as to mako no reduction In
salaries, and allowed a portion of the
increase. He at the same time in
formed the operators that the force in
the office was larger than was justified
by the decreased business, the num
ber of messages being less than usual,
and the receipts lighter. The opera
tors themselves admitted that more
men were employed than was strict
ly necessary. To bring the force thus
into harmony with tlie wants of the
business, two men were dismissed;
but they were not the men whose sal
aries Mr. Gamble had, in the first in
stance proposed to reduce. The sala
ries of those men remained unchang
ed, although one of these was dis
missed after the reduction of the
price alxve mentioned. A fourth
man refused to work at tho schedule
price, although it was ten dollars a
month higher than lie had ever oerore
received. -Out
of this state of things the strike
arose. The facts thus explained ruuy
support Mr. Mumford's original state
ment, that he had reduced no salaries,
and had no intention of doing so. He
had, in fact, increased them upon the
petition of the operators themselves,
and the only man who appears to
have left because he was dissatisfied
with the compensation, refused to
work at an advance in his salary of
ten dollars a month."
The strike, then, is not as tlie opera
tors here have alleged and supposed
a strike in resistance to a reduction of
wages, general or special, but in sup
port of the claim of an individual
whose salary has been raised, but not
to so Inch a figure as he desired. It
can not be denied, in view of all the
circumstances, that'the whole body of
strikers throughout the Union have
left their work with a view and pur
pose of subjecting the business of the
entire country to delay and derange
ment, because some John Smith in
California, demanding an increase of
twenty dollars in his salary can get
only ten dollars. This is the real issue,
unless it is further claimed that this
company shall not be permitted to de
termine how large a force is necessary
to do its business, and to increase or
diminish from time to time accord

The Inaugural of Gov. Hayes.
The address of Gov. Hayes on the
occasion of his re-inauguration, is
is such as the antecedents of the man
have led us to expect It is brief, in
telligent and business like. It is de
voted mainly to the prospective revis
ion of the State Constitution. He
commends the wisdom of the Conven
tion of 1S50 in providing for a revis
ion every twentieth year when deem
ed desirable. The Governor thinks
the interests of the State require the
removal of the limitations imposed
on towns and counties in regard to
voting aid to railroads. This error
should be promptly repaired, as new
railroads can not be built until this
limitation is removed. He also favors
a thorough revision of our Judicial
system, and thinks it would be well to
go back to a system of appointment
for life, and that a higher rate of com
Eensation with tenure during good be
aviour would largely increase the
value and usefulness of our Judges.
Gov. Hayes is a valuable public offi
cer and possesses the confidence of
men of all parties, and of all sections
of the State. He enters on his second
term with the good wishes of all.
