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. Two Children Burnell to Ural 6. Savannah, April 14.- A small house in this city was destroyed by fire last night, and two little negro children were burned to death. The parents had left them asleep to attend a place of amusement, locking the house and leaving a kerosene lamp burn ing.

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. • ♦ * From tin* Itlack Blllts. Sioux City, April 14. The emigra tion to tin* Black Hills still contin ues. The adventurers treat with the 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, left yesterday for tho Hiils. A pony express leaves this place, hereafter, every Monday morning, with letters and small packages for those In the Hills.
