Whatever else may be said of the In-JJiguTAddressof our newChiefJktagis-ability.

In dignity, in directness, in condensation, in modesty, in scholarly finish, and in logical strength, it contrasts most favorably with the recent Message of its author's immediate predecessor. Nor is its conscientious sincerity less apparent than its force ana acumen, uwranu DTOUITDI to mo ural the same versatile abili. the same scholarly 'culture, the same careful and scrupulous labor, which has characterized all his public life, whether as a soldier er as a statesman." In the discussion of topics which affect us as a State alone, the new Governor, with a modesty very becoming tj a Chief Magistrate who is just assuming the duties of his position, refrains from any special recommendations, and contents himself with general remarks and suggestions, in the propriety of which all will agree. It would have been better had the Uovernor been as reticent in reference to national politics, or, rather, it would have been bet ter if he had confined himself entirely to tne iscussion of State affairs, and omitted, as inappropriate to hig office and to the oc-. casion, the extended discussion of nation al finest ions which occupjes the first half of is address.

The custom into wnicn our Governors have fallen of ventilating their personal ideas and opinions upon subjects belonging, exclusively to national politics is a most pernicious one. During the war, the close relation which existed between the State and national administrations, and the supreme duty of patriotism which overtopped and dwarfed all other issues. made this custom tolerable if not justifiable but with the cessation of the war all necessity and excuse for it pass away. Our Governors would discharge their duties better, and would be more unanimously sustained in that discharge of their duties, if they gave their exclusive attention to tham. instead of introducing into their official documents matters with which they have no official relations.

The Governor has devoted half of his inaugural address to the enunciation of certain general principles of republican government, leaving their specific appli cation to the logical ability ot nis nearer and readers. Our quarrel with these principles if not that they are fake, but that thev are not tne one wnicn me American people now needs to near or oe impressed with. The rights of minorities tbe dan gers of military government the claims of the conquered are all excellent sub jects for essayist and theorists, but they are already sufficiently comprenenaeo Dy the nation and its executive. The drift of popular sentiment i all in favor of giving i even to rebel minorities me auipiesi privileges consistent with our national safety. Our great peril does not lie in tne possibility that we may deal witn unjust severity by the white Southern traitors, but rather in the probability that we niay fail to do even scanty justice by black Southern loyalists.

And Hi just here that Governor Cox fails and disappoint us. We might expeat that one who has, with such boldnesa and originality, gone back of laws and constitutions to the principles pf republican, government, would have perceived now nn-repuuucau is exclusion from all franchises of tire races or classes. "We should hope that" the man who can plead so earnestly for the "right" of conquered traitors might tave something to say for the claim of black freemen and citizen He- who champions so ably the right of minorities to representation ought to per- cvehsbusckminoritie as well a white one can chum the benefit of the principle. lk in am ln th" document, for any recognition of our duty to the colored citizen of the South, or of the danger that wo hU forget that duty, Ail the Governor's sympathies are axpeod' except bill men tbe and he in me, then tion. words, into bas the the flict alive from him.

UUl the or Inaugural Address of Governor Cox. John Sherman's Record on the Repeal of the Fugitive Slave Laws. On the 19th day of April, 1864, Senator Sumner introduced into the United States Senate the following bill 'Be it enacted, That all acts of Con gress, or part of acts, providing tor the rendition of fugitives from service or labor, oe, ana me same are nereby, repealed." In alluding to it, Senator Sumner said "It seems to me to be perfectly plain. It Is like a diagram it is like the multi "plication table; it is like the ten com- "mandments." John Sherman admitted the law of 1850 to be "unconstitutional and and expressed a willingness to repeal all fugitive slave laws except that of 1793.

He then said "I have some doubt about "the expediency of repealing the law of "1793, and I wish the Senator, in order to "avoid a difficult question, would "Ma. Somsib.

The motion to lay the bill on the table is not debatable. The motion to lay on the table was lost, and, after some brief debate, during which Mr. Sherman was silent, tbe Senate ad journed. The bill as amended was up for consideration on the following day (tbe 20th), but a vote was not reached. On the 21st the bill was again debated, but Mr.

Sherman did not participate. During the discussion, Mr. Conness, of California, said; A very materiel change has been made in the bill since it was presented by the hon orable Senator from Massachusetts a ek.mra which, were it not supported bv mnioritv of the Senate.

Petition. Xw Tobx. January 8. TheTimes' Wash ine ton special says: A petition from the" Indians in regard to their Kansas reservation is now pending before the Commissioner of Indians, ounge ioiey. ine nrst treaty liquidated all the rights of these Indians, and reserved to them 5UU.009 acres at Green Bay, they were to remove in three vears.

and a liortion did so. By a treaty in 1838 the New York Indians ceded all their interest in the Wisconsin reservation, and in consideration thereof the United States ceded to them the Kansas lands. The In dians forfeit all interest in these- lands if they do not accept and remove to that coun try within five years or such other time as the President may appoint. It was also provided that $400,000 dollars should be appropriated to aid in the removal of the Indian claim. But this appropriation was never made, and notice to remove never givon, and they argue no forfeiture has happened, and by a subsequent treaty the time of removal ia extended, and all forfeitures waved, if any had in fact happened, and that the department in several instances recognized the claim title of the New York Indians.

It is claimed that when Thompson was Secretary of the Interior, tailing to nave a bill passed by the eenste appropriating these lands to tbe nse of government, be atwrwanls, without the au thority of the law, made it a part of puuuc aomain, suoject to private entry, and one-third to one-half of this reservation has been sold and patented the United States at (10 per acre. Last winter tbe New York Indians made annli cation for theappointment of aCoromission-er to negotiate the settlement claim for indemnity, and on a memorial from tbe Representatives in Conrress from New York commissioner was- appointed. The Indians now insist that this claim should henmmnt- ly adjusted on a fair and liberal basis.

Idiotic Asylum-Report of the and Superintendent. Correspondence Cleveland COLUMBUS, January 6, 1866. The first report of the Public Institu tions, making iu appearance from the press this year, is that of the Trustee and Superintendent of the "State Asylum lor the education of JJiotic and TmWil. Youths." The last instituted of our Tto. i is greater than liiul ol ffiUIoS, blind, which is undoubtedly true.

The institution bas always had to encounter the opposition of numbers, both in the Legislature and out of it, who have so faith in the capability of the idiotic of, valuable mental improvement, or at best in their capacity to retain the knowledge acquired, alter passing from the bands of their instructors, and the associations of their Asy lum, a ne i ruatees come at this idea, and ppcal to the experience of nine years under their auspices, and to the reeulta wbere-ever the experiment has been faithfully and persistently made. They aleo endea vor to correct the prevailing error of those wno regard the uses of Idiotic Asylums merely as schools. "The Idiotic they say, is much more than an elemen- "tary literary institution. Nearly every idiot bas a present disease, or is suffering "from the effects of some disease of which "he bas previously been tbe subject. Tho disease connected with idiocy, either as cause, concomitant or consequent, require the most skillful acd careful treatment "and all the faculties ot a first class But this is not all when these di-" senses have been properly and success- "fully treated, the poor patient requires a long time and tbe greatest attention to "general regimen to secure permanent "convalescence.

For such the Asylum be-" come a sanitorium, where not only med-" cine but pure air, good food, enlivening amusements and healthy exercise are "made to contribute to their general improvement. And still further: when a good degree of health and strenth haa been obtained, and some measure of attained, it ia necessary to "teach such handicrafts and forma of labor as will enable the pupils to earn their living and take oft" the burden of their support from friends or the public "An Idiot Asylum is, therefore, hospi tal, a sanitorium, and an industrial or "pylotechnic institute." An appropriation of JjO.OOO was made last year for the purchase of a site and erection of buildings forthe permanent nse of the institution rented and altogether inadequate buildings having heretofore been occupied for the purpose. The institution has been loca'-ed at a most eligible site, between one and two miles from the city, near the btate quarry and the site of the new Soldiers' Home. So much delay wa occasioned by time taken to receive proposals and examine other sites that but little progress bas thus far been made in the erection of. tbe buildings, beyond the completion ef the foundations.

'The plan contemplates future enlargement and im provement. I he lrustees state that ths structure new in process of erection will be nlled a soon as it is capable of occupancy, a would also be the entire structure contemplated in the future. It is estimated that further appropriations of $60,000 will be required to complete the work to the extent ultimately contem plated. The superintendent, in on report to tbe Trustees, details the progress made, and gives the statistics of the past year. It" has been an unhealthy season with the pupils the spotted fever having broken out early in the spring, caused the eath of three pupils, and affected the institution thronghout the year.

The whole number under instruction during the year hns teen fifty. Of those now in the institution twenty-two hav learned to read and -write since admission sixteen others read shoit sentences and are learning to write. Three others two of them recent admissions, "have as yet manifested no knowl- "edee of the use of written words a ren. "resenting ideas, and are at present oo cupied in the exercises oi attention, Ac." The report of th superintendent con tains many remark of interest, original and selected, relative to the proper treatment and true theory of instruction for the idiotic The total income of the institution for the year, by way of appropriations, ha been $14,046. Total expenditures, The sum of $1,211 has been received from pupils, and paid into the State Treasury, ao that the actual cost of the institution for the past year haa been Appropriation to th amoant of $12,850 are asked for the ensuing year.
