Heretofore public education baa been 'oo ranch in tbe intern of a The influence of tbe old scholasticism baa been powerful enongh to. overbear tbe force of modern industrial and acienuGc demanda. Tbe resultant bag learned too much in one direction, and undue prominence baa been given to professional and classical education over industrial and ecien-tine training.

A thorough system of industrial training moat mbroce tbe children, tbe wirf-kingmeo and tbe people. Tbe children of skillful ft prosperous mechanics might Cod ia tbe primary instruction in mocbanical and tr-m knd drawing aod to those who are circumscribed by harder conditions, free night schools could furoish tbe opportunities of a slower advancement. Reform industrial schools, under a wise system of cum- rmlsory Isws, could gainer toe cnu. Ar.n of ntterlv destitute or vicious narents and educate them for a ose ful calling, without contact, on tbe one hand, with acknowledged pau pers or criminals, or lowering the i L. 4 public schools, on we wincr uuu, with offensive poverty or low associations.

In addition to tbe theory, it may be necessary for the State to afford practical training in tbe mechanical arts. It is not probable that tbe old system of apprenticeship, which bas gradually fallen into inline, cao be s-cnerallv restored. Two 1one would seem to be suffi cient to prevent It. In the ettensive modern workshops, tbe proprietor, or mauler mechanic or foreman can never find time to devote to the instruction of apprentice, who are consequently lft to pick up, in a desulto-rv manner. bat little they learn, and minr indu t'ies the necessity of producing articles at tbe least labor and expense, to compute with others in the tnarkots, requires toe nigneai skilled laborers, fur which they most depend upon the overstocked labor markets of the eld jountrie.

as tbey caaoot afford to educate new bands. Believing that, under these circumstances, no remedy can be found except through tha direct agency of the State. I renew my contained is tbe message of 1875, for tbe establishment of workshops in connection with industrial schools, and beg leave to refer you to the current report of the Superintendent of Public Instruction tor the proofs he bas collected of tbe feasibility and advantages of tbe plan. It will, perhaps, be a slow and difficult task to secure tbe cooperation of the present generation of work-ingmen. But, in all the large cities and towns, where that class is principally congregated, lecture and draughting-rooms could be added to tbe night schools aod such instruction given as would interest and bene fit adults.

Every thing that will tend to recognize the importance and dignity of labor that will excite tbe pride and emulation of the artisan in Lis work convince bim of tbe inter est of the Bute ia bis welfare and tbe welfare of bis children, and Be cure tbe fruits of bis industry and thrift, should be done and I am convinced that nothing will contrib ute ao much to these results aa tbe establishment of industrial and scien tiCe schools and workshops by the aide of our present high schools and academies. Finally the appreciation and demand of works of art and tkill must keep pace wiife the capaci tv to create ibem. llnseums, art gal lerics, and other public collections. are also important factors in mdustri al education. Accordingly, I took occasion tast year to recommend the arrangement, for public exhibition, of tbe specimens collected by tbe Geo logical Survey: and to suggest that you consider the advisability of ex tender State aid to tbe Philadelphia Museum aod bchool of Industrial Art Tbe latter institution bas, dur ing the year, opened free schools of drawing and design, and as the State, if it decides to add industrial educa tion to the public school system, will need competent teachers in these branches, this fact gives it additional claims to tbe recognition of tbe au thorities 1 venture to hope that thi subject will early engage your labsrs, anp that tbe public school system will receive a symmetrical develop ment corresponding wub tbe condi tioas of a highly industrial age and tbe large and varied resources of Pennsylvania.

ARBITRATION. If it is to the interest of tbe Re public that litigation ebould cease. is still more to tbe interest of tbe peopla that the conflict between dif ferent classes should be brought to a close. Aa It ia becoming tbe public opinion oi toe avuaea world, that tbe nations cannot afford to submit tbeir differences to tbe costly arbitra ment of tli sword, so it ia becoming tbe settled conviction that nothing can be gained by a war ot classes, to compensate for the loss caused by tbe disturbances ot all Industrial relations, and tbe dangers threatened to individual independence and free instiiii iona. And in many places tbe same idea is gaining ground among tbe trading classes for adjusting tbe conflicting claima of individuals.

Since, therefore, arbitration bas been successfully used to settle international questions and even tbe petty dis putes of icdividuals, wby cannot tbe same peaceful agency be mvoked to adjust tbe relations of capital and labor? inesurijecT, inocra important, is not new, but baa floated in public atscusstou tor some time, and no apoligy is needed for tilling your at tention to the suggestions made 10 tbe meseag or lb6. "Docs it not seem practicable to appoint a court of arbitratioa, composed of three or more of tbe judgca of our courts, as many operator, and a lice number of tbe representauvea of tbe working men, to wnom could be referred the disputes ariaiog employers and employes, so trat, at least, a full, fair, and impartial discussion cooU be had, and the public enlightened npoa the merits of tbe controversy; and, if there was oo legal remedy, tbe force of public opinion would eoofltraiB tbe parties whose dates were arbitrated, to do justice to tboae who were wroaged Any plan ia nuTTouuded with difficulties from the constantly changing relations of tbe great interests involved rcBent.iire. by whom tbeae org.n tiona will be bocud.il seems practica ble to devise some plan by which all relatione and disputee of capital and Itbor can be harmoniously ad justed. TOWERS AND RESP iXSIBILXTTES OF IX AL CIVIL AlTnoBITIES. I Uvo repeateily represented to tie people tbe reluctance with which ttc Executive resorts to military power, ank urged upon the Legtaia-tnr the oeeessitT of devising Borne means fixing be responsibility of suppressing loctl ouioreaaa upoa iue local civil authorities.

At present, any sheriff or mayor can escape under tbe ambiguous provisions of tbe law, wiibout baving made a single honest eff rt to preserve the pesce. As a cooseqaence, there is a growing in relv onon the State It has even been curiously argued that tbe arrival of tie State troops supersedes ibe local civil authorities, and thereby suspends tbeir functions as peace and relieves them of all responsibility. Tbe military is called in to aid, not to supercede, the civil authority. It would be a strange construction of the law bv which tbe desertion of their sw-rn dotiesbythe neaco officers of the municipalities would make the State authorities, who answer their call for aid, respon-aible for the outrages committed by a in a Dolicdess city. The office of sheriff was formerly nt diirnitv and power: it bas de generated, standing without change in new conditions, until its mam au ties are those of a jailor and auction Rome means ought certainly to he taken to clothe tbe office with its original importance and re sponsibilities.

If, upon the written request of a ceruin number of com-nerent freeholders of any city or p.uotv havinir tbe to assure tbeir standing and respecta bility, it was made obligatory upon the mayor or sheriff, under penalty of forfeiture of office, and boo or im- nris'ment. or both to summon a sufficient number of citizens to lay aside all business, and serve uoder like Densities. I am satisfied that manr disturbances which now re quire the interference of the military could be settled without its use. Any citizen of tbe Common weal tb tan now be compelled to leave busi ness and trarel its length and bredth in tbe interests of justice; surely, tbe preservation of order aod tbe protoc tion of life aod property, will justify tbe same service of a citizen witbio bis own county. Such a law woul I alno serve to fix the statu of tbe inhabit ants of tbe county.

All who were loyal to the laws would at once respoua; tnose woo reiuseu would thereby indicate their sympa thies for tbe rioters. If snch aa attempt should fail, the sheriff or mayor, or in fault of these (Beers, tbe citizens themselves could, with reason, can upon toe executive, sua no question, so tar as tbe state was concerned, could erer be raised as to tbe necessity for tbe use of troops. Tbe people have, happily, been so unaccustomed to the use of tbe troops to enforce tbe laws, that much mis conception lists regarding the real position of tbe military power in tbe Dolitr of the government, aod the relative dunes oi citizens and soldiers. A simple statement ot theBe relations may enable tbe line between tbe friends and tbe enemies of law and order to be drawn hereafter with precision and advantage. For tbe presence and use of troops, tbe Ex ecutive ia responsible: of tbeir neces sity be sth'julge.

Tie awclotfa him with that power, and tbe discre tion to nse it; for its use or abuse he is responsible alone to the representa tive of tbe people, the presence ue facto of troops at tbe Bccne of a disturbance wprihia Jacte evidence oi tbeir presence de jure. Whether tbey are there by authority or not, whether their presence is necessary or unnecessary, is no affair of the rioters or tbeir sympathizers. Tbe tribunal to decide that question is not the mob, or tbem; but the Legi latore ot tbe courts, and afterwards. For tbe time being it is the duty of authorities and all law abiding citi zens to cooperate with tbem in re storing order or suppressing violence To resist them by force, noon any pretext, is insurrection or rebellion, and can result only in the final vindi cation of the law, in anarchy or tbe subversion of tbe government. THE MILITIA.

The primary function of tbe State is to preserve tbe peace and gaaran tee, uoder the laws, tbe rights of persons aod property. Your attention bas already been called to tbe necessity of increasing aod tbe powers of and yuu will also consider the means of improving the instrument confined to the Execu tive. It has been tbe constant poll cy oi tbe present administration to use tbe military power of tbe State only io the last resort. Unfortunate ly the weakness ot tbe local civil machinery bas made tbe necessity, of late years, freqaent. Five times within seven years the militia bi been called into one or another part ot the Mate, and oa all former occasions, its preseoce alooe has been sufficient to restore order.

During the late troubles it also, in tbe end, succeeded in removing tbe embargo upon tbe trac of the State and protecting its citizens in the the right to walk, but during its abort campaign. certain deficiencies and faults in the syoiem were made apparent. There are three inherent defects a militia system, which although they may be reduced to a minimum, nint-t alaraya exist. In the first place, devoted chiefly to civil pur suits, a citizen soldiery most always be more or leos alloc ted by tbe syui pat tea of tbe community in which tbey live. No laws or codes prevent the common soldiers from itnoioiug ue principles and prejudices of tbe men tbey coostauily socute with in tte daily walks.

In toe second place, with comparatively little time aod opportunity for bat- tallion and regimental drill, tber cannot be expected to bare tbe stead iness of trained professional Boldier. I many, ia a volunteer organization, without pay, the inclinations of tbe men must alwaya be considered io the selection of officers: there is nev er tbe same rtluve difference between tbem as in a regular army, ana, on mat accoun vutrfC can nev er be tbe ame absolute eoiiicrit orer the rank and file. Tbe only alternative which will entirely' obviate these defects is a trgular staod- iur army, disassociated from tbe people and trained to arms alone. Eeo it were aot nnconstituuooai. ucb a force would be annecessarv for tb Bute, and moat, there- lure, exert ourseirea to brinf our preaeat Audiiiaajstea to the greatest possible eficienej.

I bava wea uas solieiUMia to pre- MDt tbe conditiooa of a aaUitia cam paign, becaaee tne condect of car troops during the ate crisis bag elici ted every variety oi criticism, irom mild censure to ab olate condemnation, and because there bas grown up in Pennsylvania a spirit of caviling at its militia, in marked contrast with tbo kindly feelinrs and pride manifested by other ates toward tbeir citizen soldiery. Sf, "that a temperate review of ibe facts may be made, I believe it will not be considered a partial judgmeot to say, that the cooduct of tbe State troops dur ing tbe late 6trike was, upon the whole, commendable and creditable. In Pittsburg, before a final de-cissioo. manr considerations must modify our judgment. The conditions were not purely military.

It was not merely a question of preserv ing a body of soldiery intact, of bold- i If pUBIHOU VI Utitwuug vuvmjj. Expecting to march into a frieodly community, whose moral support would be cheerfully given them, tbey entered a practically hostile city, were denounced and threatend by press and people, aod attacked by men larked in tbe security oi a sympathetic crowd, and used women and children as shields and instruments. If, under such circumstances, their action lacked the energy and severity tbat purely military cannons would have iustiGed, it cannot be a matter of surprise, that baving been so long accustomed to peace, tbey were unable at once to com prehend tbe sudden conditions of war. As it was, though not executed with the skill and precision of regular troops, tbe movement accom plikbed its purpose, and tbe failure to more tbe freight trains out of the tity, to which more than any fact tbe subsexaent burning is attributable, was tbe result of the want of cooper ation of an adequate and competent police, and tbe desertion, at tbe critical moment, of tbe railroad em ployes. Tbe behavior of the Pittr-burir troops, io a military sense, is without excute; but was it any worse tbao tbe defection of officers and men in tbe regular army, who, in 1871, deserted their comrades io arms to join tbecommunititiBia wbicb they were born aod bred Such things are not military, tbey are political or social and it cannot De expected ttt tbey ebould be judged by tbe severest military code.

It was in fact the temporary excitement of unthinking men, carried away by the uoivereal clamor around tbem. For that reason, when tbe burst of passion was over, 1 reinstated tbem otherwise new troop would have bad enlisted, while these might be trusted to have a keener sense of duty, from a desire to re trieve their fame. In the case tf tbe Philadelphia troops, akboQgb disheartened by being placed ou the defensive, and a part of the command demoralized by a too precipitate retreat; the geueral steadiness and obedience to orders uuder comparative hardbhips aud io real danger, show tbem to have been composed of tbe best of soldiery material The fail-are to subdue a city; in insurrection against tbe lawa is not to be attributed to tbe want of courage, capacity, or fidelity in the officers aod men but to a natural disioplinauon to lake life iudiscriminately, cod tbe uncertainty as to bow far, under tbe laws, tbey could exercise a purely military discretion. For myself, I have every confidence in tbe Guard, and stall not hesitate, if another occasion should unhappily arise, to rely upon its fidelity and courage The after service of the Uuard, wbeo assembled together prepared lor ac tive campaigning, was all that could be desired. Toe fact that as many answered tbe call for a service likely to be long and dangerous, as assem bled in tbe pleasant encampment at the Centennial, is conclusive proot ol the general zest and fidelity of tbe troops.

Recognizing the exact conditions of the problem we have to solve, 1 invite your cooperatian in making some desireable changes in tbe law, to better prepare tbe troops for active duty. The standing menace, in any future disturbance, tbat tbe railroads may be useless for transportation, either by the absolute refusal of the engineers and crews to man tbem, or from tracks being torn up or bridges burned, makes it necessary to luily equip the militia for long marches aud the field. Except in one or two inatauces, the troops, although in re ceipt of the regular yearly allowance of money, were fouud provided only with uniforms and arms all tbe equipments for active, continuous and independent service, blankets, overcoats, haversacks, canteens, being in part or wholly wanting. A modi fka.ionof the law is required to devote the fund to purely military purposes. Tbe Executive has power by law to recouize and reduce tbe tbe National Guard, in accordance with tbe recommendation of tbe Adjutant General, but tbe action of tbe Legislature will be neceasry to reapportion the annoal appropriation among the organizations, aud confer authority upon tbe Adjutant General to issue tbe allowance in clothing aod equipment or in money, in his discretion, as tbe service requires.

I earnest'y recommend tbat pensions be given to tbe widows aod families of those of the militia who fell in tbe service of tbe State. Tbe public welfare demanded tbe service in wbicn these men lost tbeir Jives, aod justice requires tbat I'm State, wbicn profited by tbe sacrifice, ebould contribute to tbe support of those who bare been deprived, for its sake, of their natural protectors trust mat, upon tne broad princi ple of common justice, this recogni tion oi devotion to duty will be uni versally conceded, aod tbat Pennsylvania, who bas been so generous to tbe orphans of her volunteers, will not be leas than just to tbe widows and cbilJren ot ber militia. WESTERS PESITE.SIUE7 Last year tbe Legislature passed an appropriation to relieve tbe over loaded condition of the he stern Penitentiary. This year it wiil be necessary to do the same for tbe Western Penitentiary wbicb institu tion bas now eight hundred and tblr ty prisoners, with capacuy for only lour hundred, or, at the most, five bsodred- ttree aod four coa- Ftcis are necessarly confined in ceil, and during the summer nionths. tbe crowded coadiucn of tbe prison will certainly engender disease and death.

Tbe matter will reorire rcur jromediatearten tion, and itmsy benec-easarf to take prompt action upon some plan for itUTessiof the acoom- mouauooa for tbe convict; tbe western district, and providing for i tbeir asety nd security.

During 1877, tbe geological survey of tbe State bas been carried oo with zeal and energy, and tbe results prepared for publication. Additional volumes will be issued in January, and other important volumes aud many important maps are in preparation. For a detailed account of the labors of tbe commission, I -beg leave to refer you to the infrmal reprt of tbe State Geologist, furnished at my request, which will be found, in the appendix, herewith NAVIGATION Of THE OHIO RIVER. The necessity of finding a market for tbe produce of tbe West led, some years ago, to tbe appiniment oi a Commission from several States, in-cludiug Pennsylvania, for tbe improvement ol tbe navigation of the Ohio river. As the work is one of very great interest to the western section of tbe State, and indirectly to tbe entire Commonwealth, the Commission have asked tbe assistance of tbe Legislature, so far as to Demoralize Congreso upon tbe subject, and request tbe appropriation of sufficient raouey to carry out the project, aod an appropriation from the State to py the necessary expenses of the Commissioners appointed on behalf of Pennsylvania.

Tbe r.dvantages and importance of tbe contemplated improvements, will fully justify such action on yoor part, and therefore, recommend tbat the request of the Commissioners be complied with. MVMIC1PAL COMMISSION. Tbe muuicipal Commission, appointed iu 13 76, bas completed its labors, and tbe result will be laid before you in a well-digesied act for tbe government of tbe cities of this Commonwealth. A copy, as finally reviced by the Committee, was forwarded ta tbe Executive Department, too late for a artful analysis. The scope bearing and design of its general provisions aod will, no doubt, be fully set forth in tbo report of the Commission.

Pending any discussion would be supei fjaous. Whatever may be tbe fiual judgment upon their work, there can be but one opinion of the painstaking aud conscientious manner io which they have investigated the subject. BOARD OP r-CBLTC CHARITIES. Although crippeled by the failure of its annual appropriation at its last session, tbe Board of Public Charities has jealously prosecuted ita important work. Tbe State and county institutions wbicb have been visited bave generally presented a steady progress toward a higher, standard, which is very satisfactory, and creditable to tbe intelligent and systematic supervision wbicb tbe Board nas kept over tbe public charities of the State.

Tbe detailed work of tbe Board for tbe past year, and recommendations io reference to State aid to public institutions, aod other sub jects requiring legislative considera tion, will be touod iu its annual re port. MlSC'ELLAREOm. I desire to call your attention to several subjects, wbicb, if of less im portance than those just discusaed, are yet of sufficient moment to de mand consideration. Ibe present act fixing the fees of county officers, passed in ISCS, has been so often modified by special provisions tbat there is no longer any uniformity in its application, and a general revision of tbe bill is advised. 1 think, in deed, that tbe salary provision migbi advantageously be extended to all tbe counties of the State whose pop ulation falls below tbe constitutional limitation of one hundred and fifty thousand.

Tbe bonds' of Recorders of Deeds of tbe several counties, fixed by the act of March, 14, 1777, is now wholly disproportionate to tbe business of the office, and I therefore, recommend tbat tbe security for tbe faithful performance of the duties of tbeir office and preservation and delivery of the records be readjusted and lucreased. In conoectiou uh tbe Geological purvey, it would be well to make arraugemeoi for a to pographical survey ot the Slate, and preparation of accurate maps by Jbe Lulled stales Coast Survey, Corps It is said there is a great doubt of tbe correctness of tbe preneut location ot tbe boundaries and points of tbe Stale, and, as tbe expense would be slight, aod the result trustworthy aud valuable, and probably reimbursed to the State by tbe Bale of general and local minutely detailed mapi of tba highest I tbink it would be well to authorize tbe work In the year 13G7, the price of the pamphlet laws wa-i raised from Glty cents to one dollar per volume.
