His Ex- cellency’s opinions on this subject are presented with moderation and kindness, and show no de- sire for blood or confiscation. Of this we are very glad. . T'he necessity of a Constitutional Convention is cphasized by the Governor. The war gave new problems to our State Government, and “grave questions are likely to arise in con- “pection with our commercial and mate “interests, which wero not anticipated or pro- “vided for by the framers of the organic law.” The Judiciary system needs remodeling, espe- cially in New-York City. Here crime staing the ermine, and when vice secks shelter it creeps to the Bemch. We find our Judges more anxious to register the edicts of Tammgny Hall, and gratify the unlicensed keep- ers of Third-ave. shebeens, than to do justice between man and man. The system which gave us the edicts of Cardozo, and which re- gisters as law the notions of McCunn about gambling, should be abolished, or at least so constructed that the Judges should not be respon- sible to politicians nnd tavern-keepers. Our Courts are so divided and subdivided that litiga- tion is as endless as in the famed case of Jarn- dyce and Jarndyce. New-York law is expensive, slow, and bad, and we want a Constitutional Convention if for no other reason than to give us justice. In regard to the Convention and its manner of organization, the Governor thinks that there should be 82 delegates at large chosen, each elector voting for 16 of that num- ber. By this means each of the political partics would have the sclection of half the additional electors at large, The plan seems to be fair, and should be considered. We regret to learn that the State owes fifty millions of dollars, ‘This is a good deal of money, and we presume is not one-half of what is really owed when we add the debts of towns and counties. The Governor thinks that there | should be a mode of assessments that should im- { pose upon personal property its due share of the | publie burdens. There shoul? also be a redue- tion in our internal revenue .cs. He does not see the propriety of the Nauvonal Government imposing heavy taxes now, as heavy taxation can only retard industry and enterprise. Those who come after us should help to pay for a war which insured them independence, The Governor's argument on this subject deserves attention, although we rather like the idea of paying our debts as soon as we can raise the moncy. Mathematical calculations as to what may be done thirty years hence, when our population is so large, are generally fanciful. There s no knowing what new responsibilities may be imposed upon the pation during the next thirty years; wars, famine, improvements, national works—ocea- sions for immediate and enormons expenditures may come at any time, and we can ill mect them with a heavy debt. Let us pay it speed- ily. The Governor's argument to the contrary is ingeniou~ *wmit not convincing. It is not strange that the Governor should find the subject of punighiment and the pardon- ing power interesting, since he has been so verely handled for certain works of mercy. Ap- peals for mercy are 80 numerous that mueh of his time is absorbed in their consideration, and he fears he cannot always do justice. Ie would rather be relieved of his blessed prerogative, About this we are not altogether clear. Merey is an executive met; it i8 so purely a matter of manhood and charity —of sympathy, pexhaps— that to put it in the hands of lawyers, or of a Bureau officer with limited responsibility, is to cither create a new judicatory or weaken the most precious duty of a supreme ruler. The Governor thinks that our prosecuting attorneys are not always anxious to put evil-doers in jail, and asks for further legislation. This is sen- sible. @ Our public charities, as well as military and naval agencies, command much of the Gov- ernor’s attention. New-York City is commended to the consideration of the Legislature. The cholera was with difficulty kept out of it last year, and pains should be taken to prevent its entrance at another time. We want letter quarantine accommodations, and the Legislature ful people -wil be glad to know that we have 104 regiments of infantry, with cavalry, artillery, and light howitzer Dbatteries. There are 50,000 men in our National Guards who do glorious duty on parade-days, and are supposed to be ever burning to meet the foe. The Governor thinks that we need a complete military system—that among other LASTIC STOCKINGS, s, DR bod 3 Veser'st Lady attondast, URE PILE CURE.

Altogether, the Governor's Mess: sible, straightforward document, about as welk as anything that has come from Albany for some ti ge is a sen- nd suits us 'S REPORT. THE CONTROLLE The financial features of the Report of the State Controller may be generalized briefly. The debt of the State in September last was $51,768,082, an increase of somo $2,000,000 over the figure of 1865, Of the whole debt, composed of General Fund, Contingent, Canal, and Bounty debts, the $27,64,000 of the Iatter comprise tho largest comstituent. The Canal debt, which has undergone a reduction, as the other has increased, is $15,248,460, or a million and more less than the debt of 1865, The Controller reckons that the Bounty debt, which appears to have increased nearly four millions since 1865, will require, to pay its in- terest and principal in the ten years w hich it has to run, an annual tax of over 2§ mills on the valua- tions.of 1866. On those of 1863, a tax of 2% mills produced $3,205,619, but this sum was in- correetly conceived, on the supposition that the debt was to be paid in twelve years from its issne, instead of after the passage of the legislative act for its creati This period will expire in 1877 ; and the Controller caleulates that to. realize the amount of its demands it will be necessary to im- pose a tax of three mills for the next fiscal year. This increased estimate is made, too, on the as- sumption that the sinking fund money can be invested 8o as to yield six per cent semi-annually. It is to be remembered that all the other component amounts of the general debt have been sensibly reduced. The gain of Canal receipts over 1865 is $752,250. The receipts on account of the General Fund revenue for the fiscal year commencing Oct. 1, 1866, are estimated at $10,821,522, and the pay- ments at a littlo more. Under this head it is interesting to know that printing for the State costs us $193,221 in a year, or something more than the Legislature itsclf. The subject of the Trust Fund is treated in an important passage in Mr. Hilihouse's re- port. It will bo seen that under an Act of the Legislature authorizing the Controller to sell the land serip given to this State by €ongress to Trustees of Cornell University, 5,087 certifi- cates of 160 acres each have been sold to the Hon..Ezra Cornell. The net profits from the location and sale of the serip will form u dis- titiet fund, to be ealled the Cornell endowment, the income of which will go to maintain the Cornell University, while the principal will re- main inviolate. The Controller'’s general estimate of taxation for the year commencing next October is re- markable, but we cannot say surprising. It will amount in all to 5% mills. Having care- fully considered what mcans are necessary to make assessments more accurate and efficient, Mr. Hillhouse is of opinion that while real es- tate is not assessed at morp 1 one-half of its value, and while the larger portion of personal property escapes altogether, sworn returns should be required, more stringent provisions adopted for the assessment of property at its value, and that the State Board of Equalization shonld be granted further powers. As the General Government continnes to raise money by indirect ation, the Con troller does not, of course vor that bat he recommends an anxiliary measure, that an income tax of 8 per cent be laid on all in- comes over £1,000, and to be applied to the payment of the war debt. The report is an elaborate and well systematized document, and will repay attention. THE PUBLIC HEALTH. The Report of the Metropolitan Board of Health, of which we print an abstract else- where, contains a vast amount of matter of in- terest to every inhabitant of the Metropolitan District. The labors of the Board have been enormous; the resnlt gratifying. The Commis- sioners appointed by the Governor under the Act of February 26, 1866, found the scene of their future warfare full of outrages against the public health. Two hundred slaughter-houses in New-York and fifty in Brooklyn were tainting their neighborhood with pestilentml odors, some of them having been established for twenty years upon sites which have become surrounded by a dense popnlation; sixty fat and bone-hoil- ing establishments were in full blast, hay- ing influences over courts and juries to such an extent that the legal prohibition was laughed to scorn; Washington and other markets were public nuisances; such portions of the streets and sidewalks a8 had not been given away by favor of the City Government were obstructed by droves of live stock at all hours of the night; the gutters of the city overflowed with , THU | by right of emines filth, and the sewers were choked by garbage; stale fish and vegetables openly vended in the produce stalls were sowing the socds of disease, and whole districts of the two citics were ex- tended cesspools, The Commissioners were vigilant and determined. They appointed an effective force of local inspectors— theso inspectors being educated medi- cal men—who shonld thoronghly explere every portion of the Metropolitan District, and report upon its sanitary condition. The re- moval or renovation of all the nuisances thus reported was entered upon with energy. Here, as in every reform which may be under- taken under onr'present judgeship, the Courts wero tho moat active allies of the offenders. Fat-boiling and lime-burning were protected by tho Courts, who so enjoined the Board ns to seriqusly hamper it in the discharge of the duty which was to be a public benefit. In spite of Judicial interference, much was accom- plished, and New-York escaped such ravages lo’f the cholera epidemic as had scemed inevita- 0. The Report of the Board exposes some of the we find more to interest us in | many clty contracts which are frauds upon the education and the canal system than in the | tax-payers. By one contract with one Thomas chivalry of our National Guard., The report | Andrews, the city pays him $25,000 per year shows that 30.02 per cent of the entire number | for removal in boats of the night-soil, which of children betwecn five and twenty-one years | is delivered at certain piers.

It is estimated that, in the ten years during which these three con- tracts run, the city will lose £1,500,000. The Commissioners approve of the suburban abattoirs, smmend the establishment of mar- kets up-town, and the thorough revision of those which now block up down-town streets ; urge (as has been before commented upon in Tur Trisuxe) the grant of power to seize, domain, the location ne- ine and hospital purposes, omparative exemption dur- ary for quara and a¢ vibute the ing ' : season of the city from the cholera epide: e to a liber:1 use of disinfectants, The total reccip's of the Health Commis- sioners, from the organization to November 15, were $831,912 66, and the disbursements $222,- 069 26, leaving a balance on hand of £09,233 40, That the création of the Board was a wise pro- jon, no honest person can deny; that its powers may be continned, and its efforts for the purification of New ork seconded, should Do the intention of every legislator., vis OBITUARY. s i JONN A, DORGAN.

His active life was but 30 years, if we except one year of patient, uneventful suffering from consumption, which, tak- ing hold almost accidentally of a delicate but appar- ently healthful frame, subjected him to an affliction only to be measured by the poet’s mind and pro . He was well known in his profession of con by those who heard very little of the poet, and sin- of his own city the remarkable merit of his poetry was well known, but it was not for many years that the journals and zines of Philadelphia gave him any recognition whatever, Tn Boston and N ork hiis are more familiar than in Phila- delphia.

In all respects | his life was honorable and sfainless. A review of his poetry, ished in these columus but o few months before his death, has acquainted a large class of readers with the ideal strength, the skilful musie and lyrical philosophy which made up the growth and the atmosphere of Mr. Dorgau's poetry.

These things amaze the citizens. Many there are who believe wemay have s “disturbance,” but it is impossible to meet with any one who believes there is occasion for such extraordinary proceedings as these. There are just two ways of accounting for them. Either the Government are frightened out of their wits, or they must have some startling informa- tion,of the nature of which the public are in complete ignorance, Iu former letters I referred to the seizures in the house of a Mr. Smith, at Ballybough bridge, in this city. The first account of the affair represented the chemieal compound found on the premises as “ Greek fire;” subsequently paragraphs appeared in the papers stating that the liguid had been manufactured in the way of legitimate trade, and was nothing more than concentrated sulphuric acid, used in the wanu- facture of bone manure, The first account turns out to be the correct one. And so convinced were the police that the place had been used as a Fenian depot that yesterday they returned to it and made a minute search for arms. They were half the day engaged at it, but [ believe they made no discovery. More arrests of soldiers! That is what affrights the Government far more than the Greek fire. On Baturday, four men of thoe 83th Reglment were taken into custody in Dublin, and @ soldier of the 80th has boen arrested in Armagh. A court-martial has been appointed to try these men, and others who are in custody on similar charges. Yesterday, while scarching the resldence of Mr. Patrick O'Byrne, the police discoverod nine riflcs, a quantity of ammunition, some podches, &o. They arrested Mr. O'Byrno and his two nephews, John and Richard Stowel. The process of searching the houses of suspected persons 18 going on perpetually.
