During the past season 1,112 vessels from ports liable to visitations of yellow fever were examined by the Quarantine officers attheport of New York, of which 2H4 were from ports known to be infected. Ninety-five vessels had SflO cases of yellow fever on their passage, or in port undoriiuarantiue. Fifty eases of fever were treated in the Quarantine hospitals, of which twenty-nine were yellow fever. Of the latter, eleven proved fatal.

It is gratifying in this connection to state that the National Board of Health, after careful investigation of the methods in vogue at the different ports, unanimously recommended the principles and modes practiced at the port of New York, as affording the greatest protection against disease and the least interference with the freedom of commerce.

The second man and Ellsworth Cole had a clinch, during which two pistol shots were fired by the thief, both balls going through the barn door aa the bullet -holes show, one about knee-high and the other about as high as a man's head. It is very evident the plan was to steal both horses, for the horse that was taken came back in a few hours.

The thieves could not keep company one mounted and the other not. It looks as though they were professionals, for Cole says the man be scuffled with was dressed jockey style, i i tii -fltting clothes, not like a tramp or a countryman. wronmo. R. T.

Hon. Seth Wakeman died at Batavia about 4 o'clock last Sunday afternoon, aged about sixty-nine years.

He has for many years occupied an enviable position in both public and private life. He was eminently a self-made man. Having had but very limited advantages for acquiring an education in youth he, by diligent study and perseverance during his early manhood, succeeded in being admitted to the bar in 1844, from which time he gained a prominence in his profession equaled by but few attorneys in Genesee county. His ability, integrity and uniform courtesy commended him to the electors of his county and district to such a degree that he has held many prominent offices within their gift, among them supervisor, district -attorney, member of assembly and ot the state constitutional convention, and also a member of the forty-second congress. For four or five years past he has been quite an invalid, confined mostly to his house, having relinquished business entirely about the close of 1875.

His funeral is to be attended from his late residence in Batavia, at ii o'clock Wednesday afternoon. A Ladr PbUantlsropls.

J-Albany, January 6, IsSO. To the LepisJaturr In obedience to the Constitution, information relative to the condition of th State is herewith communicated, with tsuch suees tions and trcommeudations as are deemed expedient. The year jnt o1ofed has been one of increasing prosperity and encouragement. With the resumption of specie payment by the National Uovernment. and the restoratif of a sound financial basis, there has been marked improvement in all business affaire.

Renewed confidence has net in motion the current of industrial activity, and willing hands have had ready employment. Ample crops have found eager markete, and afrrioviitural interests have abundantlv prospered. There has been unusual exemption from disease, while peace and good order nave prevailed within our borders. Seldom indeed, has there been such cause for thankfulness, ilay we, as a people, have a realizing nenf of gratitude for the Divine favor so generously bestowed upon us. FINANCES.

The laws now in force are imperfect and unequal in their operation. Bv unjust discriminations, enormous values of property which should contribute a fair pro- portion to the public reveunes are allowed to em-ape taxation, thus imposing onerous bur- aens uixm a portion oi our citizens.

The important and complex questions involved re quire close, constant ana long-contit uea exam ination, and it is doubted whether the necessary attention can he devoted to them during an ordinary legislative session. it is, there f'He, Miggested that the subject be placed in the hanl of a commission fairlv representing the agricultural, commercial and other material interests of tlie State, to a plau for tl consideration or tne next IiTislature.

EDUCATION. There is no in which the people have ileeier conce than that of public education. The policy of the State in relation to its school system ha been steadily progressive, and each ti-itm- uas wiuicrs-eu an important auvsi.ee in this great interest.

Pre-eminent in population and intelligence, New York has no prouder record than her educational development. iseiy enactea laws provide ror tne supmrt common, or nrimarv schools, everywhere within reach of the humblest child, ami ier- nnt local communities to establish such advanced giades of academic education, as they mav desire for the more ambitious students. The best interests of the Htate wil be promoted bv placine: the highest educational ad vantages within the reach of all who seek tliein. The policy of making women eliirible as school officers has been adopted in several States with beneficial results, and the question uist-usHiou in luia ntate. Women are euuallv couinetent with men for thu duty, and it cannot be doubted that their fchuisMsion to representation would largely increase the efficiency of our school management.

i oe lavoraoie attention or the Jjetririiature is trnestly dirwted to the subject.

Ex-Govbtucob Lccics Robissom must have had a consciencious jim-jam during his last two months of office, for he pardoned twen ty-four convicts during that period, and com muted the sentences of forty-eight. During the entire year he pardoned ninety-six state and county convicts, and commuted 103 sentences. Perhaps Governor Robinson meant to teach the people the folly ot lodging all pardoning power into the hands of one man. A Ltovs dispatch in the New Tork San contains the following sad and startling state ment: Recently the wife of Sheriff Clark employed a dressmaker to fit a dress.

A duel has recently been fought near Amherst court house, i between Beverly C. Hosby, eon of Colonel John 6. Mosby and a pupil of Eenmore tchool, and John L. Lee, ot Louisiana, student of the university. Nine shots were tired, but neither was hurt.

The affair was then intei rupted and both parties arrested, but subsequently released on bail. The trouble between the parties originated some six months ego, when Lee whipped Mosby, but the matter was supposed to have been settled at the time. Last Sunday, however, Mosby met Lee and asked him when he was going home, meaning to the university. Lee i plied that it was none of his business. Mosby then wrote Lee a very insulting note, and the latter challenged him.

Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson, the well-known lady philanthropist, has published a curious little tract, contrasting the relative expense of religion, living, education, rum and tobacco. Rum, she computes, costs the country (967, U39, u02 annually; religion, 47, 686. 450 education. 95.

The supposition that there was a subsequent plot for the taking off" of Mr. Lincoln to the one eventually carried out seems by this circumstance to be confirmed. Mr. Taylor, in August, 1865, removed the glass from the window, cut Booth's autograph from the ho tel register, and, placing a piece of black silk velvet behind the glass, had it framed, to gether with the autograph, and sent it to Miss McHenry, of Philadelphia, and she has presented it to the nation, to bo deposited in the archives, with the pistol and bullet which played the fatal part -in Ford's theater in 1865.

The measure seems to have overleaped itself. for the heaviest consumers now contemplate the use of driven wells, over a million of which are now in use in the united states, and all who have used them are pleased be muse they supply a good quantity of water. and save very large sums of money.

George A. Andrews tellsg the Sun that the average cost or sinking a two-mch tube well on Man-hatten Island is about (300.

The National Guard is represented as being in excellent condition, I Kith in general composition and equipment. The discipline of the organization has been for several years steadily improving, and whenever its services have been required it has never failed promptly and cheerfully to perform efficient duty.

Happily no necessity has arisen during the past year tor active service, except in a few instances where guard duty was required at executions. i ne organization consists oi seven divisions and thirteen brigades, embracing the several branches or service, as loiiows went v- tbree regiinente, six battalions, and thirty- three sejiarate companies ol lnianrry one regiment and eleven separate troops of cavalry and of artillery, one battalion, nine separate light batteries, and two batteries armed with Gatling guns. In the aggregate number there are officers and enlist-d mea. The Military Code of the State is composed of ancient enactmentathat have been amended from time to time as occasion required. Thus incumbered, it has become in many respects incongruous and imiiracticable.

It is recommended, therefore, that a commission composed of officers of suitable rank in the National Guard be authorized to codify the military laws, and to revise the regulations accordingly. In the firm belief that an effective military force, preared for instant duty, is a useful conservator of the public peace, the National Guard is commended to your favorable consideration, THE NEW CAPITOL. The Corumissiorers in charge of the erection of the New- Capitol report that the total amount exiended to date is The amount standing charged to this account on the books of the Comptroller is The difference between these two statements is assumed to be in of land and other expenses incurred prior to the beginning of the construction account. Of the slim fii-st mentioned were paid for furnishing the completed portion of the building. The last appropriation of aomi.noO for the contiuuation of the work was made not available by the terms of the act, until the Com missioiiers had tiled a written certificate with the Secretary of State, to the effect that after examining the estimate, plans and specification, they were satisfied the building could be completed at a further cost of (a.iaM.OUU over and above that appropriation.

This provision was complied with, and the Commissioners claim that the record of work performed during the year demonstrates the correctness of their estimates, and proves that if there shall be no considerable advance in the price of labor and materials the building can be completed for the sum stated. The Commissioners are also of the opinion that the prosecution of the work to the tiest advantage will reouire appropriations of for the ensuing year, and (l.unyiou for earh of the two real's thereafter, and that the entire building can be made rtady for occupation within three jears from this time. As a member of the New Capitol Commission in lxis, my most earnest endeavors were muilc in opposition to commencing the Capitol in the belief that it could not lie construi'tcd within the limit of 4.otm,00il, as then fixed by the Leyiniature: but the Commission decided to proceed and the building was beiym. The work has progressed under appropriations by sui'cessive Legislatures, notwithstanding the pronounced objections of the last three Exeeu tives, until it is now so far advanced that there seems to lie no rational course left but to provide for its completion in the uc.ist advantageous manner possible. In this view it is suggested whether it may not be Itest to provide the ni-cessary means by loan Junderthe twelfth seetion of article seven of the Constitution, bv which arrangement a portion of the bunlen would tie placed upon the future taxjiayers, who will enjoy the use of this grand but costly edifice.

The buildings are now being erected, and will prolmbly lie available early in the (smiing summer. There are in this asylum about 'MM) female patients in excess of its proper capacity, so that the new buildings will only relieve the present crowded condition of the institution. The annual rejiort of the State Board of Charities will contain much valuable and in teresting information in detail with reference to tlie unfortunate classes under their supervision, and it will doubtless receive your considerate attention. COUNTTJAILS AND POOlt HOUSES.

Many of the county tails and noor-houses in the State are represented to be a disirrace to our civilization. Instead of serving their le gitimate purposes, they are said to more bke nurseries of immorality, squalor aud crime. Philauthropiccitizens who have lalior-ed aealously to ameliorate the comhlion of the unfortunate inmates of tluse institutions are urgent in their demands for reformation. The indiscriminate confinement of petty offenders and persons awaiting the action of grand ju ries, in me some ujiarruiems Wltn tne most hardened criminals, must almost of mx'essity result in increasing the degradation of those who should be shielded from malign influence. wnne in tne custody or tne authorities.

be practice of confining felons in the penitentiaries instead of tlie State prisons is also deemed unwise and injurious. While referring to this subject it is suggested tliat an extension of the jurisdiction of the State Board of Charities over the hs-al prisons aud poor houses mieht ti-ad to benelleml results in an important direction.

TBS QOrKRSOR'S MESSAGK. Elsewhere we produce the text of the firrt mewage of GoTernor Cornefl to the legalature, and final; report of Controller Olcott nbmitted by bis saccessor, Controller Wads- worth. The mease of the governor ia plain. etxaightlorward document. On Beptember 30, 1879, the total funded debt of the state wag $9,122,054.87, after deducting the unapplied balance of the sinking funds, it ia 17, 659, 426.

39. The canals show a falling of In revenue of (67, 898. 54, as compared with the previous year, and aa increase of cost ot repairs, of 023. 85. The surplus revenues were 1 169, 477.99, or i (ailing off of (79,424.30.

In his recom mendatioiu are the following A revision ot the laws with respect to the assessment of property, as a basia of taxation. He notes the vast amount of property, which, under the present system, escapes its just burden of taxation, thus imposing additional burdens upon taxpayers, who have no redress against this unjust discrimination except such as the legislature provides. He would have the en tire matter committed to the hands of a commission, composed of all Interests con cerned, to consider and report to the next legislature; suggests that addi tional legislation is necessary to aorom plish all the canal reforms contemplated by the laws amendatory ot the constitution. In the matter of education, he justly praises the common-school system, but breaks entirely from the position of ex-Governor Robinson in respect to the relation ot the state to higher education. The ex gOTernorJi agisted that the state function is limited to the primary or secondary grades, but Governor Cornell thinks The best interests of the state win be pro moted by placing the highest educational ad vantages within the reach of all who seek them.

In this opinion, ot course, this pa per cannot concur, though it very cordially endorses the suggestion that women are emin ently fitted for service on school boards and that their admission to them would largely increase the efficiency of our school manage ment. In the matter of prison labor conflicting with the interests of outside labor, the gov ernor has no specific to offer, contenting himself with the general statement that while it is desirable that the prisons should be as httls burdensome as possible, care should be taken to avoid all unnecessary interference with industrial interests. He expresses gratification at the success of the prisons financially, the deficit being but (20, 374, He points out the heavy losses insurance companies have been put to during the past year, and emphasises the necessity, so often stated in these columns, of a reform in rates, and the methods ot doing business, and directs attention as to whether or not there is any good reason why marine insurance companies should not deposit securities in the state in surance office. He points out the betterment in the reports of the savings and other banks, insists upon the need of revision of expenses to conform to the economical spirit of the times, pointing out that "while each depositor's account in the savings banks of this state costs for management, (1.63, the same ser vice in Connecticut and 2few Hampshire is but (1.11, and in Massachusetts only 80 cents. He surveys with satisfaction the constant improvement in the discipline of the National Guards and recommends that military commission be appointed to codify the military laws and revise the regu lations.

He reviews the work and expenses of the new capitol and tentatively suggests whether it may not be best to provide the necessary means for its completion by a loan under the twelfth section of article 7 of the constitution, 1 by which arrangement a portion of the burden would be placed upon the future taxpayers, who will enjoy the use of this grand but costly edifice. He declares that the condition of the poor insane is mot pitiable, that many of the poorhouses are a disgrace to our civilisation, as indeed they are, and recommends an extension of the jurisdic tion of the state board of charities over the local prisons and poor houses. Concerning immigration, he hopes the legislature will take some formal action is behalf of a measure looking for relief from the decision of the United States supreme court, declaring the state laws unconstitutional, which required indemnity or guarantee by commutation for the support of indigent immigrants. In the great matter of the relation of the railroads to the state and its people, he indi cates in general terms the gravity of the ques tion, and emphasises the necessity 'of just and practical regulations to protect the people against invidious discriminations. He thinks a well-guarded registry law is necessary for all incorporated villages.

The excise laws ahoold be so simplified that they may be uni versally understood and faithfully executed. He very justly insists that the harbor master should be compensated for all the duties the state imposes on him calls attention to the exorbitant pilotage fees sees in the refunding of local debts at lower rates of interest a partial escape from the burdens of those debts and hopes the legislature may aid the towns in that work, and intuU that still greater economy should be observed in municipal adminis tration, especially in New York city. The document gives promise of a faithful adniinistration, and Governor Cornell will receive cordial endorsement if he shall fulfill the high expectations held concerning hlmr being guided by worthy motives in every official action. Bpkaxeb is a stalwart Republican, courteous, affable, acute. He is sixty-two years of age and was born at Kingston, Ulster county, educated at Albany academy, Rutgers college, and Tale law school.

He was among the first to enter the Union service in 1861, as captain, and since that date his record has been this He displayed an aptitude for the profession of arms that was soon recognised by his superiors in command and General Hooker detailed him on his staff. When General Hooker was superseded by General Meade in command of the army of the Potomac Colonel Bharpe was retained on the staff of the latter, and when General Grant assumed command of the armies of the United States he assigned Colonel Bharpe to one of the most important positions on his staff, where he performed most valuable service during the campaign of 1864-5, and the final campaign which resulted In the surrender of General Lee's army at Appomatox court house, in April, 1865. For gallant and meritorious services he was bre vetted brigadier and subsequently major- general, and was selected by the commander in-chief to perform the important duty of paroling Lee's army. In 1867 General Sharp was special agent of the state depart ment in Kurope. He held the office of United State marshal in New Tork city in 1870, and from 1873 to 1878 he was surveyor of the port.

The electors of the first district of Ulster evidenced their appreciation of the worth of General Sharpe by electing him to represent them in the assembly of 1878 by a plurality of 725 votes over the Democratic and the OreeDbacai candidates, against Lvmocratic majority in the previous year of General Bharpe was re-elected to the present assembly, from which he has been chosen to the speaker's chair. In the last assembly he was chairman of the committee on insurance, and a member of the cities committee. Parsell is an agitator who will not allow the Lrith people even to imagine that he is set king reform through warlike mean O'ConneU had given his followers to believe that be meant war, but when they supposed the decisive moment bad come be with drew his hnd from the proffered sword, the people fell back and never again rallied to the alcgan. Mr. Parnell is wiser than 'Connell.

Knowing the temper of the Irish people in this rerpect, he resists all notions of armed in terferenoe, and emphatically inaints that this is to be a peaceful revolution. We may hope much from such an agitation, where a syllo-girm of bayonet would be iue3-tJv8. 3G State Street. Tars. MU mo Ktaaoiactd th.

Eveiy elecfeir is entitled to bave his vote honestly counted and to be protected fmm all fraudulent practices in the conduct of the elections.

This is the vital eleinentf National li'e, and in many resjiects it is the most dilHcult to shield from nbuse. All enactments, whether National or State, calculated to protect the freedom and integrity of the elective franchise, are earnestly to be commended. In consequence of enormous election frauds perpetrated in the city of New York in former years, vei effective laws have been enacted for that locality. But in other cities defective statutes are still in operatiou, and in some of them elections are conducted in a grossly fraudulent manner. Remedy has heretofore been sought in more perfect legislation, hut obstacles have arisen to defeat the desired object.

A well-guarded registry law for all incorporated villages is also believed to be necessary for the correction of existing evils. in view oi the importance which these subjects bear to the highest interests of the people, it is bojied they will receive your early consideration. EXCISE LAWS. Much dissatisfaction prevails in regard to the excise laws, and it is essential that some ffort be made to render them more effective. The luws are constantly violated or evaded, and inadequate attention is given to their en-f oi cement.

Indeed, the chief ditfculty seems to la? to determine the scope or meaning of the existing statutes on this subject. Under recent and somewhat conflicting decisions. Excise Commissioners are left with large discretionary powers. The will of the commissioners is substituted for the mandates of law, hence conflicting interpretations obtain within the iuris- diction of the different boards of excise. What is needed is a carefully matured act that can be plainly understood and faithfully executed.

Although beset with difficulties, it is your duty see an imeuigem solution oi we matter. HARBOR MASTERS. The Supreme Court of the United States having declared that iiortion of the law of the State unconstitutional which authorizes the coUection of fees by Hai-bor Masters, these officers are left to perform important duties without iegal remuneration. If the services rendered by them are to be continued, it will be necessary for the Legislature to provide for meir compensation some aiiierent form. PILOTAGE.

The laws relating to pilotage in the harbor of New York cause much complaint from those engaged in commerce. It is represented that the legal charge for piloting a large steamship ui and out of that port is larger than the wages of the captain for the round European trip. If this be true, a remedy is surely needed. Tlie growing comjMtition other sea-ports for our vast foreign trade renders it imperative that the commerce of New York shall be relieved of all unnecessary burdens. The future pros perity oi tne relate is largely aepenrtent upon the continuance of our commercial snuremacv.

nnd no private interest should be permitted to IXDIASS. Attention has been called to the condition of the Indians still remaining within the limits of the State, more especially those residing on the Onondaga reservation. According to the representations of well-informed citizens, there seem to be ample reasons for the adoption of such measures as will conduce to the moral and material welfare of this iieculiar people. Much must necessarily depend in this direction upon the exercise of wise and beneficient in fluences but as the State lies long sustained the relation if guardian to the remnants of Indian trilies within its domain, the interests involved in tlieir situation are commended to our taouglitrul consideration. LOCAL INDEBTEDNESS.

Senous emltarrassment exists in different sections of the State on account of the large amount of town indebtedness incurred for the most part in aid of railroad enterprises. In some instances towns are being deMpulated in consequence of the high rate of taxation ren dered necessary to pay tlie interest on their bonds. rue value of property is also depreciating and looking forward to the of the debt, the prospect becomes -till more discouraging. The only remedy -e nis to be in refunding the indebtedness, so as to duce the rate of interest. This, how ever, requires an improved crciiit and it is very desirable that some measure be devised, if possible, to enable the towns to accomplish tins inject.

MUNICIPAL KFAIRS. Municipal ailairs are prolitic subjects of leg islation and will doubtless occupy much of vour attention. In denling with them it should be remeniliered that the restoration of soecie payments affords a favorable opportuidty for me read jusi ment oi public expenditures, many ii wuicn, esmousnea during tne iieriud oi illation and tixed at rates now extravairant. have become needless burdens unon th tax payers, especially is this true ui the city of ew lorit. overburdened with debt larire created bv the criuiinali.v of faithless orticiais.

the expenses of the city government should be reduced to a frugal and economical basis. All measures calculated 'o simplify the methods and promote the stability of local as well as State administration, or secure efficient and economical discharge of official duty are earnestly recommended to vour favorable con sideration and support. CONCLUSION. We enter upon our duties under circumstan ces which mark an interesting event in the his tory of the State. For the lirst time since the organization ot our Slate government in 1777, the executive officers and the members of both branches of the Legislature were chosen simul taneously at the recent election.

A trust of unusual magnitude, therefore, is committed to us, for the faithful iterformanee of which we shall justly be held to strict accountability. Com missioned as the representatives of a grand constituency, uuequaled in enterprise, wealth and isjwer. may we be imoressed with the gravity of our resnonsibihtics. ami solemn. ly resolve to be guided by worthy motives in every cuiciui action.
