MF-ETUiO OF THE LEOISI.ATUItE 00V.
i.eli.ogo’s MESSAGE,
New Orleans, April 14. Roth
Houses of the Legislature met at
noon. Two veto messages received
and the Governor’s message read.
The adjustment plan was referred to
the Committne on elections, and ad
journed.
Gov. Kellogg, in his message, after
alluding to the unfortunate condition
of the State, which result is not en
tirely from recent causes, but may
be traced to causes existing in the
post organization of the State Gov
ernment, hys it is a most hope
ful sign in my opinion, when ns now
citizens of all political parties
seem inclined to take the man
agement of their affairs into
their own hands, and sinking person
al and party aims unite to advance
the general good. It is in this light
1 regard with approval what is popu
larly know as tin* Wheeler adjust
ment, the consummation of which
will be one of the first subjects
brought before you; and it is the be
lief that the harmonious adoption of
some such plan of mutual concession
as the one now proposed will inure to
the best interests of the State, that I
have convened you in extra session.
Then follows a review of the Wheel
er adjustment, with the request that
immediate steps be taken to carry
it into effect.
He says tin* other subjects which
are specified in the call for this extra
session, are among those which I
have persistently urged upon the at
tention of tlie Legislators of
this State in every message I
have had t lie honor to address
to them. Now that .a better
understanding has been arrived at, I
confidently trust that a more success
ful effort will be made to give practi
cal effect, to these much needed re
forms. For my part, I pledge my
hearty co-operation and prompt ac
tion upon every well considered
measure of financial reform. The
system of assessing and collecting
taxes, now in operation, is cumbrous,
expensive and unjust, and should bo
radically changed. The fees of Tax
Collectors should be reduced, and the
Assessrrs should bo paid by fixed
salaries in lieu-of fees. Much valua
ble property, belonging to wealthy
corporations, is exempt from taxa
tion by general or special legis
lation, though used for ordi
nary business purposes and yielding
large revenues, while adjoiningprop
erties, forming, possibly, the sole
support of widows and orphans, are
assessed up to their full value. As I
have said before, it is a matter of
grave consideration whether a gen
eral repeal of exemptions of private
and corporate property front State
and city taxation would not bo an act
of justice fit the many involving com
paratively limited hardships to the
few. This State affords no exceptions
to the too general rule that the
rich evade the taxes and the poor pay
them. The delinquent taxes of some
of the wealthier parishes in this State
amounted, last year, to nearly or
quite sc per cent, of the entire tax
levied. That measures be taken to
secure the more efficient collec
tion of delinquents and current
taxes from those able to pay,
I also suggest that stops Is* taken
to relievo from present taxation those
persons living in the recently over
flowed districts who may from that
cause bo found unable to comply with
the demands of tin* law. Reduction
of salaries of State officers is urged.
Every day makes more clearly mani
fest, the great influence which the
constitutional amendments adopted
at the hist election are certain to ex
ert, upon the financial condition
of the State. By these, enactments
neither State nor parish can ever levy
more than 14*. mills tax in any one
year, except for school purposes; and
no Legislature, however extravagant
or corrupt, can expend more than
the amount which the tax thus lim
ited will yield.
The revenues of each year are de
voted to the expenditures of that
year, and all appropriations in excess
of revenue are absolutely null and
void. The importance of this provi
sion cannot be over estimated. In
1865, 1866 and 1867, the excess of ex
penditures over revenues was very
great. In 1861) and 1870 the total re
ceipts on account of the general fund
were $.t,23‘j,595; the total expendi
tures were 4,878,515, leaving a floating
debt of $1,638,917. The revenues of
the succeeding year are to be added
to the bonded debt of the State. In
1871 and 1872, the last two years of
my predecessor, the total receipts on
the same account were $2,982,431, and
the total exitenditures were $5,595,634,
leaving for these two years an ad
ditional floating debt of $2,613,203
to be provided for in a similar man
ner. In 1873 and 1874, tfie first two
years of my administration, the total
receipts were $3,214,478, and the total
expenditures $3,229,517, an excess of
expenditures over receipts of $15,039.
For the current year, and for all
time hereafter under the provisions
of the constitutional amendment, to
which I have referred, there can be
no valid appropriation made in ex
cess of revenues, and consequently
not one dollar can bo added to the
public debt, either directly or indi
roctly, by this means. Thus one of
the principle sources from which the
rapid increase of the State debt since
the war has arisen, is effectually cut
off.
COLUMBUS, GA., THURSDAY, APRIL 15, 1875.
A still further safeguard is imposed
by the funding law and the constitu
tional amendments ratifying,its pro
visions, namely, that, as fast as the
public debt is reduced, the point to
which it is reduced shall be the con
stitutional limit of the debt, and this
rule is to continue in force until the
entire debt of the State lias been re
duced to fifteen millions, beyond
which point it is provided that it
shall not be increased. In urging
the adoption of these amendments
upon the Legislature, and upon the
people, I was fully aware that they
would meet with determined opposi
tion from interested parties, both at
home and abroad, and that the exis
tence of the State government might
be imperilled in the effort, to
secure their passage, but after taking
counsel with some of the ablest and
most experienced financiers, I was
convinced that the policy embodied
in the funding law and the constitu
tional amendments was the only way
to avert actual repudiation. The
State debt is shown to have been ro
dtteed $30,065,976 24, and the State,
city and parish taxes materially re
duced. The most difficult problem
to bo laid before you fer solution
will be the financial difficulties of
the city of New Orleans, the city
with an assessed valuation for its
own purposes of taxation of much
less than’half the valuation of the
whole State lias a bonded
anti floating debt ns great as
the debt of the State was
before tho passage of the fttndinglaw,
if not greater. The interest upon
this debt, and the expenses of the
city government, including the neces
sary cost of paving, repairing and
lighting the streets, involve an annu
al outly larger than any revenue tho
city is able to collect. To chock this
evil, the last Legislature passed, and
tho people have since formally adopt
ed, a constitutional amendment lim
iting the debt of the city to its pres
ent amount, and prohibiting the is
sue of any warrant, or evidence of in
debtedness in future, unless against,
easit actually in the treasury. This
amendment will prevent the city get
ting deeper into debt, but will not re
lieve its existing embarrassment
which arc vory serious. Its interest
is in arrears, it owes a large sum
to its employees, and bonds to the
amount of several millions of dollars
have fallen due and are about to ma
ture, and which it has no means of
meeting. I commend this subject to
your most serious consideration.
There are many hindrances to com
merce in the way of unnecessary In
spections, vexatious pilot charges,
licenses and monopolies, which
should be removed or lightened as
far as possible by legislative action,
and measures to this end will be laid
before you by a committee of the
Chamber of Commerce.
Jn conclusion, permit me to say
that your action in the session
on which you have entered will
be watched with great interest, not
only by your follow-citizens, but by
tite entire country. I venture to in
dulge the hope that by prudent and
salutary action on your part, the
troubles of our .State will be substan
tially ended, and that out of them
will spring a condition of harmony
and peace unhoped for a few months
since. This result attained, I believe
Louisiana will speedily take the
position she ought to occupy that of
tho most progressive and prosperous
State in the South.
in the Leglslaterc all tho Demo
crats whose titles to seats were un
questioned were sworn in ; all other
cases referred to the Committee on
Elections.
The House adopted a resolution to
appoint a Committee to notify the
Governor that the body was organized
and ready to receive communications
from him, also adopting for this ses
sion tho rules of tho former regular
session. Under those rules a
change in any office can only
be made by a two-thirds vote. This
action is considered as quieting
Hahn’s title to the Speakership. This
was the result of Republican unity
and a hopeless division of the Demo
crats between two or three candi
dates.

Leavenworth, Kk., April 14. From
unofficial, but it is stated from trust
worthy sources that it is learned from
Cheyenne Agency that the troops
were badly whipped by tlie Indians
at a fight among tlie Sand Hills,
Aprril 6tli. Tho loss is said to bo
much heavier than expected. It is
now evident that the Cheyenne In
dians buried their best guns in the
sand and only turned over to Gen.
Neill worthless muskets. They
left the agency without arms, but
when attacked oil the Hills, tlioy
had approved rifles and plenty of am
munition. The troops charged reck
lessly, supposing the Indians to be
unarmed, hence the slaughter of the
troops. There is great apprehension
on the frontier about the 2,000 1 ndians
who escaped from camp. Gen. Pope
lias information of their capture.

Sioux City, April 14. The emigra

utmost indifference and contempt tho
Government telegrams recently sent
relating to the invasion of that coun
try, and if one may judge from the
appearance of tho men who have
already gone, it is probable they will
treat the troops in the same way if
they attempt to turn them back.
Over 160 men, wit,haboutl2wagons,

every Monday morning, with letters
and small packages for those In the

Jordan’s Joyous Julep.
A Kpceilh for Neuralgia.
I HAVE been saying n good deal through the
I papers of late extolling JORDAN'S JOYOUS
JULEP as a most wonderful NEURALGIA CURE;
but for fear you may exclaim us Shukspearo
when ho said ”You cram these words into mine
ear against the stomach of my sense,” 1 now sub
mit t" you what pofsous nay \vh<> have tried my
Neuralgia Julep, with the most complete and
satisfactory result:
Columbus, January 16,1875.
Mr.Jordan: l take great pleasure In recom
mending your Joyous Julep for neuralgia,
bus produced a must wonderful relief in one oj
the severest attaeks ol neuralgia iny daughter
ever has had. She bus been treated lor it by
three skillful physicians, with very little benefit,
and uHed all the usual remedies with little
cos*. 1 can with much confldouoo hope for a per
manent cure. It is only two days since we began
tho use of it, and it is apparently of permanent
hem fit. Yours, with respect,
MRS. L. I. NORMAN.

Dear Sir - Having learned through my friend
R. A. Bacon of your ”J. J. J.” preparation ldr re
lief <*i neuralgia, and tested it with perfect suc
oess in my own family, in the worst case, too,
that ever came under my observation, 1 now
enclose fifty cents for a second bottle, as l con
sider it too valuable a medicine to be without,
though I have no immediate use for it.
Very truly yours,
JAMES T. TO3II.
Columuuh, Ga„ Nov. q. 1874.
Dr. J. 1.. Jordan: Dear Sir—Your Joyous Julep
for Neuralgia has been tried iu my family. hIJ
with the most happy result,and I find in it all you
claim for its virtue. And I unhesitatingly re
: commend it to all who are suffering from Neural
gia as Bonn thing a little remarkable in its cura-
I live power. J. D. WORTHY.
Columbus, Ga.. Dec. 18,1874.
Dr. J. L. Jordan— Your medicine, Joyous
Julep, is without uu equal lor Neuralgia. Having
been a great sufferer from the puiu, and having
tried the prescriptions of many physicians, yet
all proved of no effect until I trfed four doses
of your Julep, when I was immediately relieved,
aud have not been troubled since.
S. <’. MADDOX.
Lake City, Fla., Nov. 4, 1874.
Dr. J. L. Jordan —Ph ase Head me another bot
tle of your Joyous Julep for a friend. I have
never found anything equal to it for Neuralgia.
Two doses cured me almost instantly, and I can
safely recommend it to do what you say.
Very respectfully, Ac.,
JOHN M. JEFFRY’S.
Fehnandina, Fla., April, 1874.
Dr. J. L. Jordan, Columbus, Ga.:
Dear Dir—lt affords me pleasure to add my tes
timony to the efficacy of your "Jordan’s Joyous
Julep.’* in giving instant relief iu Neuralgia; and
(••all appearance, as effective as instantaneous.
1 was effected daily with Neuralgia, and since
j taking a few teaspoonfuls ol* your relief, two or
more weeks have elapsed, and there are no indi
cations of return. I hope that the human fam
ily will raceive a benefit commensurate with the
importance of your discovery, ami that your
pecuniary reward will be equal to its well de
served merits. Yours, respectfully,
