More tban half a century has elapsed since the present constitution was written a half century ounspicuc.ua for its human achievements, and remarkably fruitful iu tbe fields of political and sooial soleuce. It influence have wrotight great Changes in our slate.

In lfilS the population of Connecticut, numliering by the latest oenstU about two hundred and sixty thousand Inhabitants, waa distributed among one hundred aud twenty towns, differing but little in the uumber of tbeir inhabitant, or the obaraoter of tbeir pursuits. In three-fourth of these towns tbe population ranged between one thousand aud two thousand. In no town bad it reached seven thousand, or fallen below seven hundred. The representation, therefore, whioh the constitution maintained in tha general assembly was, eveu iu Its house of representatives, essentially a popular representation, and reasonably uniform. The constitution left to the general assembly almost unlimited powers of sovereignty.

But Its aotual spbereox legislation wa within narrow bound. There were few or do spe cial interests to call its large powers into ao-tiou. Tbe lands bad not ceased to be the chief source of the wealth of the state, and tbe most ln.port.aiit couoeru of tbe people were regulated iu tbeir town meetings, where the freeholder could readily assemble, and de liberation was practicable. The judioiary bad ittle to do outside the beaten path of the oommnn law, aud tbe modorate estates of the dead were generally left to the simple distribution of tbe law through the agency of the local court of probate. it waa an admirable system of government.

and we, lu our day, have reaped largely of it benefits. But it ia folly to close our eye against the fact, tbat tbe state of ooiety to which it was so admirably adapted has passed away. Kvery member of the convention by which he constitution waa framed, tt is believed. has deceased, and but few ot the freemeu who adopted it survive. Tbe population ot the atate, ha v' tig about doubled in the aggregate aiooe 118, is now distributed among one hundred and sixty-six town, with populations ranging from over fifty thousand to loo than five hundred.

And from this it had that the sys tem of representation provided by the constitution, though inteuded to be, and for many year actually being, a reasonably fair representation of tbe popular will, ha now become so anomalous a be abeurd. Upon auy theory of representative government. It is simply indefensible. Of thi popu ation, nearly one-third have city organization for tbeir local government agencies of government not belonging to tne oomitituttou, and wDlob. cannot under the constitution, be substituted for tbe town government, which that instrument alone recognize a IU agents.

And therefore, a dual system of local government la required ne maintained over tbe same territory, ometimea necessitating, especially in the reg ulation of tbe elective franchise, legislation of questionable constitutionality. Commercial and mechanical Industrie have become toe chief auuroe of our wealth, and special Interest of large resource and oorre ponding power, which were not wrtbtn even tbe coueeption of tbe fratner of tbe constitution, have grown up to be the principal subject of legislation under the unrestricted power possessed by tbe general assembly. tbe railroads of Conneoticut alone receive a yearly revenue, which 1 more than half the entire annual revenue of the United State government iu 1S1H. inis great increase in personal property and commercial aotivity has brought within the eoguisanee of the jodisiary. questions of novel character and large pecuniary conse quence requiring superior intellectual traili ng ior tfleir proper adjudication while tbe arge estates tbat go Into tbe probate court or settlement in tbe course of every generation, tbe entire property of tbe atate must goi are becoming every year more complica ted, Dy testamentary disposition of lutrteate and difficult construction.

In calling your attention to these structural changes, which have occurred in our sooial organization, since the present constitution wa adopted, it is not my purpose to Indicate spe cially toe subjects calling for be action of a constitutional convention. But desire sirup. to make manliest tbat, if. as ia gener ally assumed, the. virtue of a written consti tution oonsiat In it adaptation to tbe aotoal condition of tbnee who are subject to it gov tbe present constitution of Connecticut baa served its purpose, and the people of Connecticut in 1373 sbouid do as tne people of Connecticut did in leiH, re place it with one better suited to tbeir altered circumstance.

I entertain no d--)ubt as to tbe mode of call ing such aoonveuttoo: nor dj I deem it ne- oessary to discuss it here. Iu 11H. the oon vent ion was assembled by resolution ot tbe general assembly. 1 rroommend tbe same course now. And I indulge the hope tbat be fore the expiration of the present omstal year, ucb a convention will have assembled and completed a work, wh.cb tbe people of Con neoticut will approve, and of wbiob tbe ini tiative nouor will belong to tbe general assembly of lrT73.

1 be few month that nave elapsed since the adjournment of tbe last general assembly, can bardly have given occasion ft.r much new legislation, and no marked ohauge ot condi tion ha occurred In auy of the departments oi tne atate government. FINANCIAL CONDITION. The report of the atate treasurer continues to show a satisfactory onditioo of the finances of the stale. The debt of the state has been reduced, during the past vear. five bun dred and six-five thousand, six hundred and eigbtv-tbree dollars and ninety-two cents i9.rfM.6Si.

Bonds to the amount of six hundred and sevent v-three thousand, four hundred dollars f673 4' have been pur chased, leaving tbe amount at present outstanding, five million and uinetv-flve thousand, nine hundred dollar (5 ii9i VOOI. with even hundred aud thirty-eight thousand and aeventy-eight dollars and ix cent (f 738,07 cash in tbe treasury. lbe entire revenue of the ststts) on ac count of tbe civil list, during tbe last year, wa two million and fifty-four thousand, four hundred and sixty-five dollars and twenty-four cents 24 1, of which, the principal sources were tbe two-mill tax on the towns, which produoed seven hundred aud eighty-five thousand, eight hundred and eight v-eight dollar and seventy-seven cent lij tne tax on savings banks, which produoed four hundred and seventy- one thousand, two hundred and twenty-two dollars and ninety cents ($471. 222 90) tbe tax on railroad companies, wbiob produced tbree bundred and tbirty-nlne tboosand. ix hundred and twenty dollars and lortT-four oent.

The grand list of the state shows a gratifying increase of nine million and seventy-two thousand, seven hundred and twenty four dollar (99 072.724) over last year tbe total of tbe present list being tbree hundred aud forty-eight million, eight bundred and fifty-live thousand, four bundred aud fifty-seven dollars (Hs.a55.457). Two hundred and one thousand, one hundred and fifty nine dollar 201.1S9) have been paid from tbe state treasury to the towns, under tbe law of 1872, appropriating one dollar and fifty cents for each child entitled to draw oney from the school fund, thus making, with the payment from tbe school fund, a total oi two dollars and fifty cents paid by the state for eaob ohild. and an increase of one hundred and forty-five thousand, six hundred aud nine dollars ($145,609) in the expenditure, eu this account, from the treasury, over that of the proceeding year. The amount paid for the support of children of deceased soldiers was one hundred and eight thousand, four hundred and forty-eight dollars aud eighty-five eents (tlOS being a decrease of about fifteen thousand dollar 15.000). The debt of tbe atate being reduced to nearly one-half what it waa six years ago, we are justified in contemplating tbe day, when it will again bo our satisfaction and pride tbat Connecticut is free from debt.

And to that end, no endeavor will, 1 trust, be spared by yon to reduce expenditures and promote eoonomy, wherever it may be practicable. THE SCHOOL FUND. The school fund continues to provide Its dividend of one dollar per capita for one hundred and thirty-two thousand, nine hundred and twenty-four children 132 it'll. Its capital now amounts to two million aud forty-three thousand, one hundred and ninety dollars and sixty-one cents ot whioh over four fifths is invested in bonds and mortgages, and Its income the last year aggregated one hundred and thousand, one hundred and fifty-eight dollars and ninety-six cents ($156 158 9C). SAVINGS AND TRUST INSTITUTIONS- The number of saviugs banks iu operation in the state on the first of January, 1873, was seventy-eight (78), with assets amounting to seventy-one million, two hundred and seventy-one thousand, tbree hundred and ninety-Bve dollars and ten cents Their deposits amounted to sixty-eight million, five hundred and twenty-three thousand, three nundred and ninety-seven dollars and eighty-eight oents 397.oo), of which, twenty-one million, eight hundred aud sixty-four thousand, five huudred and fifty-three dollars had been received during the year 1872, against sixteen million, fifty-eight thousand, nine huudred and utualy-two dollars with drawn during the same period.

These institutions were ohartered by tha state for purely trust purposes, and tbe very large sum of money which, by this statement appears to have been entrusted to their safe keeping, justines tne closest supervision of their affairs by tne general assembly, sev eral of them have during the last year, raised their usual rets of intereat on loaua to seven and a half and e'ght par cent, and rates even considerably beyond tbia nave, i am lnoiined tn believe, been required in some instances. This deierves your special attention. Savings itii'itutions are not chartered to make large dirideud. even for -their deposi tors.

Sale or the Birthplace of Natuakifl. Hawthorne bt Acctws The sale of the -birthplace of Nathaniel Hawthorne, In Salem, which took place a few days ago, deseives more than a line In cur real estate colnmm. though it brought but t2.375. The house is at Union street, an bumble thoroughfare run ning from Essex to Derby treet, and consists for the greater prtof common-place wooden houses. 'o.

21, however. i distinguished from the Teat by a faint touch of tbe pictur esque, which can bardly help becoming au at tribute of a struolaie wcioo ca weaioerea the storm of the eastern coast for more than three-quarters cf a century. Tbe bouse is weather-beaten struoture; low, two-atories with a gambrel roof, and one monstrous chimney in the middle, almost as large as i. raodern cupola. Abe notice isaireociy on mi line of tbe street, as i tbe custom in seaport towns of the northern coast.

The front dour is in the centre, and open into a little entry-way with a square room on each side and a steep, narrow stairway to the rooms alxive. The house is very low-studded so low tbat a person of ordinary height cau easily, without tiptoeing, touch the ceiliog. Tbe room in bicb was Doru is tne chamber, a email room with an open fireplaco for a wood lire. The hooee is now occupied bv two rranectable American families, but the neighborhood is not of the choicest, and win soon be given over to tte iureign whatever the place migbt have been in Hawthorne's infancy it certainly is not very attractive cow the surroundings being bare aud forbidding, and tbe little areas at tbe side behind, tree-leas, luitleas. cheerless.

Though Hawthoruo was born there, there are no associations to speak of connected wth the piace, lor but four years of hta Hie were passed in tnis house. He was born thereon July 4. leOA. and four vear after on the death of bis father in tbe West Indies, his mother went to live with her father at 10 Herbert street, aud here it wa that the most of Hawthorne's boyhood was spent. Herbert street is tbe next east of Union street, and the Manning mansion is directly in the ar of 21 Union street, so that the back yards of the two bouse used to join.

Herbert street is a much more picturesque street than it. neighbor, aa it preserves much more of the old Salem ar chitecture queer and quaint enough now. lor all tne ancient, weather-oeaten. gauiur i-roofed and gabled houses have seen far better days. The old Maiming house is a great.

roomy structure, but black and ouapiuaieuu, now, comfortable as it must have be-so when the yonng author lived there with his grandfather and his widowed mother. Mr- Richard C. Manning of Salem bas au lnieresiitg memento of Hawthcrse, who wa hia cousin, in the ahaneof a nana of glass in whicb Haw thorne cut with a diamond ring bis name and the date on whicb he wrote iu Mr. Manning found thia in one of the wiudowa of bis grandfather's houae. and removed it tor sate keep ing.
