The attention,of the Legislature is p®icularly drawn to the feport of State Controller Green, which, in connec-: tion with the. report of-the State Board of’ Equalization, “is commended as a very able paper, derserving careful perusal; and containing suggestions of great.pertinence and val. ve, Of course the Géverner preserves his firm attitude of. uncomprosubsidies to railroad companies and other monopolies, and the question is discussed at considerable length. cannot dictate to railroad cotnpegien what shall be.the rates of fares“ and freights, and what proper yestrictions fre’ necessary to rights of the public a gregations of such géulless monopolies, thé State really loses its .sover> eignty and be mes subservient to a body of its wn creation. ‘Thé Governor advocates the enactment by the I Gislature of all proper regulaaud restrictions regarding the tions corns of this State, which: are. in the position of common carriers and must-be governed by the State laws, instead of State laws being so framed as to suit-the convenience and answer the purposes of railroads. Not only should the rates of fares and freights be fixed by law, but the railroad: companies shouldbe required to post such ratés at all their stations, as required of ferries and toll roads, The Governor commends the law enacted at the last’session, creating an Insurance Commission, and says its results have been beneficial alike to the companies andthe insured. ‘The question of capital crime is treated atsome length, The Governor favors ‘the: entire abolition of such punishment, He recites’ the num. ber of executions. that have taken place.during his term, and the number of suicides by accused criminals, and concludes, after a careful review of the whole subject, that the~best . interests of .society would be subserved by the aboliticn of the death penalty. He weuld establish scme separate and distinct method of punishment for convicted’ murderers and criminals of the worst class. ‘As to criminals found, aftey careful judicial and technical research, to be insane, he thinks they should not be turned loose on society, but should carefully. The Governor favors the discontinuance “ot thé practice of printing the State Jaws in Spanish, as a aoe expensive, He also calls theattention to the unnecessary, outlay caused “by the insertion of much unnecessary matter in thé Appendices to the legislative Journal and other publicdocuments. He calls’ the attention to the fact of the Act passed at. the last session creating a State printing office, and granting an appropriation for its establishment, is defective, and recoinmends that it be re-enacted. In relation to the Act of 1868, granting to ‘the Terminal Central ‘Pacific Railway Company certain submerged ard tidéands adjacent to the island of Yerba Buena, upon certain conditions, and the extensions in 1870 by a supplemental law fur two years and the payment by the company of $12,000, the amotint of the appraisement, while the ‘improvements provided for have not been, he thinks provision should be made for the return of the money by the State to the proper parties.

Specimens from the miné are very rich.—Ben Frankliu ‘is again being worked. Great profits were made years ago out of this mine, ang there is no reason to suppose that the pay ore is-exhausted. A tunnel is being run inon the ledge, and is now in a distance of 175 feet. The North Star mine continues work in the néw shaft. It yielded about $14,000 last month, all from the new works. Slate Ledge is opening the 5th level. ‘[his mineis better known as Perrin’s. The ledge on which the posts set more than pays for the opening of the level.

The attention,of the Legislature is p®icularly drawn to the feport of State Controller Green, which, in connec-: tion with the. report of-the State Board of’ Equalization, “is commended as a very able paper, derserving careful perusal; and containing suggestions of great.pertinence and val. ve, Of course the Géverner preserves his firm attitude of. uncomprosubsidies to railroad companies and other monopolies, and the question is discussed at considerable length. cannot dictate to railroad cotnpegien what shall be.the rates of fares“ and freights, and what proper yestrictions fre’ necessary to rights of the public a gregations of such géulless monopolies, thé State really loses its .sover> eignty and be mes subservient to a body of its wn creation. ‘Thé Governor advocates the enactment by the I Gislature of all proper regulaaud restrictions regarding the tions corns of this State, which: are. in the position of common carriers and must-be governed by the State laws, instead of State laws being so framed as to suit-the convenience and answer the purposes of railroads. Not only should the rates of fares and freights be fixed by law, but the railroad: companies shouldbe required to post such ratés at all their stations, as required of ferries and toll roads, The Governor commends the law enacted at the last’session, creating an Insurance Commission, and says its results have been beneficial alike to the companies andthe insured. ‘The question of capital crime is treated atsome length, The Governor favors ‘the: entire abolition of such punishment, He recites’ the num. ber of executions. that have taken place.during his term, and the number of suicides by accused criminals, and concludes, after a careful review of the whole subject, that the~best . interests of .society would be subserved by the aboliticn of the death penalty. He weuld establish scme separate and distinct method of punishment for convicted’ murderers and criminals of the worst class. ‘As to criminals found, aftey careful judicial and technical research, to be insane, he thinks they should not be turned loose on society, but should carefully. The Governor favors the discontinuance “ot thé practice of printing the State Jaws in Spanish, as a aoe expensive, He also calls theattention to the unnecessary, outlay caused “by the insertion of much unnecessary matter in thé Appendices to the legislative Journal and other publicdocuments. He calls’ the attention to the fact of the Act passed at. the last session creating a State printing office, and granting an appropriation for its establishment, is defective, and recoinmends that it be re-enacted. In relation to the Act of 1868, granting to ‘the Terminal Central ‘Pacific Railway Company certain submerged ard tidéands adjacent to the island of Yerba Buena, upon certain conditions, and the extensions in 1870 by a supplemental law fur two years and the payment by the company of $12,000, the amotint of the appraisement, while the ‘improvements provided for have not been, he thinks provision should be made for the return of the money by the State to the proper parties..
