He has given much i-f'idy to the subject upon which h!s report is based and I cannot do better 'baa to declare that I concur in his reasoning and his conclusions. I great !" deprecate any attempt to raise the M-.e isi,e on the question of educa tion. There is absolutely no justifica tion for stirring up our people on this subject. The small sr.m which the bite people are contributia;-; to the frui'port of the negro schools cannot for one moment justify the continued agitation of the question. of dividing 'Ik- seiiool fund according to the sum raid by each race. Having divested the negro of power it is manifestly our i'lty to make of him the best citizen of wnvh he is capable and this we can mainly never do by leaing him to bis ov"-; devices, nor by withdrawing i'r,J-j; Liru the small amount of taxes '"hull we devote to his education. There arc three courses open with ie kivnce to the negro. The first is to let 'f-in: go without any training and inev itably drop back into savagery. When, ? i make up our oiads to do this the te-.-end plan will at once be put iuto t-eet ana that is for philanthropic peo I-e throughout the world, to take ctr.ge of his cducalicn and rain him u? cut c: harmony and in enmity to people among whom he lives.

Heretofore the ' Vdllroads of this State under a statute permitting it, have been cranting to I be Superintendent of Vw))) It".ftructibn passes !..' i- their lines, but for the paLL year or so thty have refused to do this. Unless the Legislature U soing to icquire them to furnish the Iasse, provision certainly ought to be made to defray these absolutely neces sary expenses of the Superintendent. A State which so much needs education cannot afford to idint it Superintend ent in the nHesrAry expenditure of j money in the performance of the dut'e-j of his offbro and in his better equip -j ment of that office. TAX US. Taxoo should be as low as possible, com-ioteutt-wiih the needs of the State; any taxes'levied be-yond thbs is wrong in principle, and should not be tolen ti'cd. Taxes should also bo uniform ro.td just, never levied twice rrt' the isanio thiusr. or whnt is construct I vtdy ti e siune thing, and wliile it' is always dilfieult to correct errors cf this kind, sdill the burdens of taxation should be bcrae aliko by ?.l?, nn(l not doubled on some, while others escape their pro portionate part. No person, for any purpose, should ever pledge the. credit of th3 Stale unless authorized by the Legislature, in whom alone is lodged thai power, and even that great body should not do so' unless in extreme cai.es or matters of urgent necessity. APPROPRIATIONS. From the message of the retiring Governor, and the reports of the vari ous departments, after passing the ap piopriation bills, providing means for the protection cf the State in the suit of South Dakota against North Caro lina, and enacting laws of general benefit, there are no momentous questions- affecting the State demanding the attention of the present General Assembly. The appropriation bills, uow vastly increasing, which will be submitted to you, will doubtlt'js bo carefully con sidered aud scanned. Our disburse ments should never exceed our re ceipts, for a State, like an individual, should not pay out more than it gets, thus fostering extravagance and waste. And in view of our present fi nancial condition, and what may be cur speedy needs, only a sufficient amount should be granted to our State institutions to adequately main tain them, economically administered. These institutions ask this year for 11,509,900.00, which is in excess of their last appropriation $567.SC0, and which, if allowed, makes our disburse ments greatlv exceed our revenue. IMMIGiRATION. In the past, as a State, we have been too modest and shown too little self-assertion, thus detracting from our diginity and worth.-and leaving the world little acquainted with the resources of cur land, the worth of our people or the history of the Com monwealth. For examples, every patriotic North Carolinian glories in the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence made on the 20th of May, 1775, yet -not having given, until recently, proper publicity of its authenticity, outsiders believed it a myth, and spoke of it as without foundation. So likewise, we know, the valiant part taken by cur State in tho civil war. in the defense oi the South land and its great principles, yet for years our true position remained in darkness,' and it became the patriot duty cf our present distinguished Chief Justice w ith his orps of capa- j ble writers, to prove to the listening j world, that we not only furnished more troops man any oiutr ouue, ac cording to population, but were also first at Bethel, last 'at Appomattox, land farthest to the front at Gettys burg. In the same hurtful, negligent manner, vtg have failed to make knewrn our great resources and hid den wealth, chus allowing our State iu it.'ruin comparatively irkccwn, un seat lit aud undeveloped i ice do'. erauf uvvsjus ul j j the State's finances, showing I are in splendid shape, with The Governor dwells at length on g that we fh no need : for the State to borrow money or ; go in debt.

Tho closing cf the school is very unfortunate-, as the people have tried so hard to build up the school and levied a special tax for this purpose.

It lo not to be supposed that ea h of them , imposes the same puniahmen for the Fam nffenSe, even whore the i ircum- . ance: are identical.

We have all the chief minerals t'ound in other States, our g.au le and ir.n'bie especially being of too finest qual'ty and inexhaustible. Our vast torf-ts, on mountain and in swamps, are uow needed for the world s mar- while our mighty, but t bridled, iVciii r power'H ould turn t ma- i-hvt ry cf. ft thousand mills. The iqt.itablo charm of our cliiri. te is mi passed, offering unrivaled induce ii cits to botn pleasure and health Kt kera a.i well as those w:.-cn g per- e0i.i:!t liiimn i ' dti good lawa 1u:. ! ly . Jldhiinistc.-rd. I Publish abroad it detail these ! mif bty resources and add to them Uie positive asurance that all who coraj shall be gladly welcomed, aicfed and piotected; taxed no more than i3 necessary for tho economical admin istration of government and given eery opportunity to build themsvos i.p, and we will soon have an influx of stfoug and capable men in our State, establishing everywhere diver sified interests and greatly adding to cur wealth and power. Let capital feel that it will not be robbed, because it has wealth, or does business as a corporation; and convince labor that ! no matter how humble it may Lie, its every right will be respected, and they will eome and be with us HOSPITALS FOR THE INSANE. t I transmit herewith the reports of j tne various hospitals for the insane. The information which they contain will put yon in possession of ail the facts needful for your guidance in the performance of pour duty to this af flicted class of our citizens. There ought to be ample provision made for the care of all the indigent insane. The constitution requires it, humauity de mands it and the platforms of all parties pledge themselves to accom plish it. The state is able to bear the necessary burden for bringing about this result and nothing short of its accomplishment wdll satisfy the pub lic conscience. I cannot too strongly urge upon your honorable body the necessity of making adequate provis ion for the care of the insane. PENSIONS. No braver men ever went to the front in battle than the North Carolina sol diers in the civil war; no more heroic women ever suffered with quieter patience than those ofour State during the period of that awful contest. They offered their lives and gave of their substance everything to the cause 0 fthe Southern Confederacy. At the time they were, in the main, young and in no need. Today they are eld and want the necessities cf life. The Statoe is paying out $200,000 annually as a recognition of their services; but this is not enough. Still further pro vision remains yet to be made. The first, second and third class pensioners are not in so much need as the fourth class pensioners. Provision should be made for the gradual raising the pen sion for each member of the fourth class until t shall reach $23. If, in your wisdom, you can see your way clear to do more than this I shall be glad. The state will rejoice,, and we shall all still remain in debt to the glorious men and women who made history for us from 1SS1 to 1S65 in such fashion that we can never be weak nor craven v.ithout falling away from the high estate to which they raised us. CONCLUSION. After four years of service to the State I cannot retire to private life without expressing to the people through j'our body my appreciation of their generosity to me. They have at all times been quick to manifest their support of every proper suggestion on my part and they have been most gen erous in overlooking the shortcomings of my administration. Nor can I leave without expressing my deep gratitude to my associates in the State govern ment for their effective, loyal and cor dial support for every measure which has looked to the betterment of con ditions in the State. I wish for each of them a long and prosperous life filled with service. To those who have come in more intimate contact with me in the performance of the. duties of my office. I wish to convey the sense of my deep obligation for their diligent and faithful performance of their du ties and their constant fidelity to me. 1 retire from office with pleasant recol lections of all those who have aided me in the work which the people laid up on me and herewith beg to express to them my thanks for the great service which they have clone the State.
