I am pleased to note that the mate
rial wealth of the State has been rap
idly increasing. The assessed valua
tion of 18GS was about thirty-two mil
lions. That pf 1870 was over fifty
three millions; thus showing f-'ie
gratifying increase of twenty -one mil
lion in two years.
A largevproportion of'the taxes col
lected from the people are for local
purposes, and do not pass through the
bUte Treasury. The $tarV 'tax is
pomparatively'light.t and if the bur
den of taxation is felt by the people
it is" by 'reason of fhe' interest felt in
railroads and other public imnrove-
ments bv them, and their willinguess
to uear a ponjon oi tue expense mat
Lhe completion of thie jiublic works
may be hastened forward.
TheKreporL of the- Treasurer will
show that a large amount of warrants
drawn upon him remain unpaid, and
that this is owing to the fact that
much delay has occurred in tlie col
lection qf delinauent taxes. Some
means shquld be devised whereby our
Treasury warrants could be promptly
paid, and the credit of the State not
stiller. Much of the time during the
pastUvo years they have been 'dis
counted at from ten to fifteen cents
on the dollar. One of your first du
ties ic to provide for repleziisjiing the
treasury, 'and I sugge.-t that as a very
large amount of the school fund is
now in United States and Union Pa
cific bonds,that the Board of Com
missioners for loaning such fund be
uutfajorized to sell such bonds, and in
vest the proceeds Tn State warrants.
The Slate would then be investing in
her own securities would receive a
better rate of interest, and would pre
serve her credit unimpaired', 'And
should these Warrants be paid during
year, as they doubtless will be, these
funds should, in my opinion, be in
vested within the State. Ample se
curity can be obtained, and the mon
ey used to good advantage, both in
the erection of school houses arte oth
er buildings in the different counties,
and in aid of private enterprise. This
pJan would, in my opinion", be "prefer
able to investment'in .foreign securi
ties. Immediate relief is needed, and
I trust you will see the necessity of
making this one of your first subjects

Aitertnoroughly investigating the

importance to the State, that such de

To carry forward tlje jyprk success

to embark in enterprises of this kind,
without-, some present inducements
being held out. To the end tb,"ut there
may be no further delay, I rocommend
that the Unappropriated Saline'Lands,
belonging to the State, be donated,
under proper restrictions, andin lim
ited quantities, to aid the enterprise
now begun, and others that may be
inaugurated. This will be but just,
as we offer no inducements and charge
a heavy royalty, and will be but car-

PUBLIC .BUILDINGS. .
The report of the Commissioners of
Public Buildings will be submitted to
you early in the session, and will, I
trus, show a satisfactory progress
made in the discharge" of their duties.
By the provisions of "An Act to pro
vide for the sale of unsold Lots and
Blocks on the town site of Lincoln,
and for the location and erection of a
State University and Agricultural
College, and State Lunatic Asylum,"
approved February' loth, 1809, "tthe
Commissioners were authorized to
sell till the unsold lots aud blocks on
the town site of Lincoln; to construct
the dome of the Capitol Building; to
erect a State Lunatic Asylum, at a
cost of $150,000, and a State Universi
ty and Agrioultu'rai Ccllege at a cost
of 5100,000, and should the proceeds
from the sale of Lots prove insuffi
cient to meet the appropriations thus
mude, they were- further authorized
to sell a quantiy, (not exceeding forty
(40) sections) of saline land to make
up such deficiency.
Preparations were at once made to
construct the Dome of the Capitol,
and architects invited to submit plans
for the State University and Agricul
tural College, and State Lunatic Asy
lum. I quote from the report of the Corn
in igsioners: "During fhe progress' of

STATE PEX1TENTLVRY.
One of the principal reasons which
induced me to conVenj the Legisla
ture' in special session last winter,
was the necessity of making some
provision for the care-aud custody of
our State prisoners. Confined in
crowded and oftentimes unhealthy
cells of county jails, they were not
receiving the care demanded by com
mon humanity. Confinement and
want of exorcise were rapidly impair
ing their health and rendering them
mint for the ordinary pursuits of life
when their liberty should be restor
ed. Instead Gf contributing to their
own support or proving a source of
revenue to the State, they were a
great and constantly increasing ex
pense. V change qf some kind was
urgently demanded. The Legisla
ture', recognizing fhis necessity, made
provision for' the erection of a Peni
tentiary on lands previously set apart
for that purpose,, about three miles
south of Lincoln, and also for' the
sale9 of said lands donated to the Shite
by the General Government to aid in
the construction of such up institu
tion. They also provided for tlie
erection of a temporary prison, for
the election and appointment of nec
essary officers, ajid forthe hiring of
couvict labor.. Tlielnspector3'eIect
ed entered at once upon the, discharge
of their duties : adverii-ed for and ac
cepted proposals for the erectioitof
the temporary prison at a cost' of $G.-
071, and pushed forward their work
with such rapidity that the building
was lendvfor use in the month of July,
and the1 convicts from the different
county jails removed to this place..
The contract fur building the Benij
tei)tfi;ry Was "awarded to ' Messrs.
Stoiiv and Jamison, at a contract
price'of 5307,050. Theyarc execu
ting their work in.ti nriuuer .alike
creditable to themselyos and to the
State. The labor of "The cdnv'ict is
hired to them al the rate of forty-two"
(42) cents per day for each convict
who is able, to Avork. I am pleased
to notice that uuuer tne. preseutar-,
rangements the" condition of the pris
oner i in every respeot much improv
ed. On the first of last April- rap
pointed, subject to Uie approval of
the Semite, Mr., A-II.. IIoeT,, witrden
qf the Penitentiary. Under his man
agement the institution litis beenwell
organized, discipline has been main
tiancd and the-conduct of the .prisp-i
ners has beeugood.
The number ofprisoners now con
fined is thirty-seven (37). '

plan has been adopted in several of

an enviable reputation abroad.
, . Let me express the hope, that the
Legislature may always be found

legislation."
By the terms of the law establish
ing the University, the Governor was
required to set 'apart- two sections of
Agricultural uoiiege .Lands or Saline

quantity of land eligibly situated,
and deemed it advisable to defer ac
tion and recommend that authority
be given to ili.spose of one or more
sections of Statu lands, and invest the
proceeds, in a farm not exceeding
three hundred and twenty acres loca
ted as near the University as possible.
This amount of land will, in mv
jiuigejnent, be entirely sufficient for
me purpose, ana can readily ue secur

SXsupge of tlie Governor of Illinois,
Springfield, Jan. 4. '
The Governor's message was read
in the Senate this afternoon. It is an
unusually long and elaborate docu
ment, largely devoted to Indicating
tho duties of the first general assem
bly under the new constitution. He
protests against the employment of
private counsel in the prosecution of
criminal case as a direct violation of
the principle of mercy in law. He
reccommendg a pareful consideration
of some different plan than that now
in force for the management of tho
State Penitentiary.
The Governor' comments on tho
suggestion of the State Treasurer for.
the payment of the remainder of the
State, debt in coin as a far better
courser than that the money of the
State should lie in the treasury unem
ployed. A large space ia devoted to the dis
cussion of the railway question and;
the passage of necessary laws relating
to railways in the State.
The Governor takes strong grounds
against the right of the Federal Con
gress tb authorize tho construction of
railways in tr e States, or to select cor
porations for rhat purpose, or to con
trol, in any manner, existing railway
corporations, and urges tha Assembly
to earnestly protest against the as

INSANE.
During the past two years the num
ber of -tliiSidass of unfortunates has
largely increased. I have received
applications to provide for forty (40)
patients, a'u during most of that
time have sent them to .the Iowa
Hospiial for the Isane at Mt. Pleas
an,t. q.wawhere, under the excell
ent care and 'treat ment of the" Super
jnteiitjent of that Institution, many
qf them have" recovered. In Decem
ber, 18G9,.that officer noticed me that
he was crowded for room and would
be unable to' receiv-e more patients
from this State, unless a number of
incurable cases could be removed and
provided for elseyhere; I was una
ble at that tirne to. make provisions
for their care. Again, in July, IS70,
X received a notification from him
that it vould be impossible to receive
any more nev patients, and that a
portio'n of those already there must
be removed. T therefore removed six

fined them in the Pawnee county
