New Orleans, Jan. 3.—The legislatare met to-day, Everything passed off quietly. Tbe House after receiving the Governor's message adjourned out of respect to the memory of L. H. Southard and E. L. Pier-son, deceased member:.

Governor Kellogg's message was exceedingly elaborate. He congratulates tho people on the hopeful prospect of the State which he ascribes mainly to the fact that they are now upon the threshold of the fruition^ of those financial reforms urged by himself, which at the last election, by the unquestioned vote of a majority of the people, were ingrafted on the constitution of the State. He expresspa bis belief that these amendments are not yet fully understood, and summarizes them as follows

The wholo debt of the State is reduced to a poiat admittedly within the power of the State to meet principal and interest at its maturity. During the whole term of forty years, over which the new bonds run, the debt cannot be increased beyond the point to which it has thus been limited. The appalling load of contingent debt, over $2,100,000 in amount, never actually iacurred, but standing on the statute book, a constant source of danger and uncertainty,hat been buried beyond resurrection. The interest appropriation in tj,ie new debt is made perpetual, and until the extinguishment of the debt itself shall have been accomplished, both principal and interest are gauranteed by the constitution. The rate of taxation is limited. The legislature is restricted in its expenditures to the revenues which that rate of taxation will yield, and the revenues of each year are to be devoted exclusively to the expenses of that year. The act ual amount of the debt of the State will be hereafter a fixed quantity, which cau at any moment be authentically stated and proven. In addition to these State reforms the city council of New Orleans have also been prohibited by a constitutional amendment from issuing further bouds in any evidence of indebted* Hess, except against cash actually in the Treasury. The bonded and floating debt of the State when he took charge was $2,409,340,729' He gives elaborate tabular statements of the movements of the State finances since, and says it will thus be seen that the present bonded and floating debt of the State is uow January 1, 1870, $1,906,164,525, and that the debt of the State has been decreased duriag my administration $5,299,805. While this reduction of the debt has .been effected the general expenditures of the Government have been largely reduced, and the taxation has been diminished from 2U to 14} mills, Tho receipts of the present year up to Dec. 20, have exceeded by $245,460 the entire receipts for the year 1872., and the expenditures for the current year up to Dec. 20, show a reduction of $1,193,209 upon the expenditures duriug the three years of my administration have been $972,065,921, showing a saviog in expenditures of $828,955,246 as compared with the las three years of the previous administration. He recommends the possage of the Constitu» tihnal amendments, reducing all salaries and the per diem mileage of the members of the Legislature, and the limitation of the session of the Legislature to thirty days insjead of sixty days. With regard to the financial condition of the city of !New Orleans, he states that the debt of the city is over $23l000'000. The city's default on interest last year was $1,295,05G. Its default on appropriations fos Interest this year is $1,142,500, Oil appropriations for schools and policemen, $256,620, making a total deficit for 1875 and 1876 of $235,217,566. He says such an exhibit carries with its own moral. The city is insolvent, and in my judgment the only course open is to address itself without unnecessary delay to some adjustment of its obligations to its creditors, and to provide for a more economical administration of its Government in the future. He recommends the appointment of five Commissiouerd, two to be elected by tbe City Council to represent the city, two by the

Board of Underwriters and the Banking Association, forming the New Orleaus Clearing House, to represent the bondholders, and the fifth to be appointed by the Government or elected by the Legislature, who should by the Legislative enactment with full power to negotiate with the creditors of the city, and to agree, on behalf of the city, to any agreed plan of compromise, whioh agreement, when ratified by the city council, should be bindiug on the city. He gives credit to the present City Council, though oomposed of political appointment, for having done their best, but recommends the abolition of the present form of Bureaucy Government and the substitution of a less expensive plan. He goes into flgnres to show that the condition of the city now was ascribabi© to the taxation for schools and the police as charged by Mayor Leeds, but that both the schools and the police cost le-s than ever before, and are more economi cally administered in New Orleans than any city of like size. He con eludes that the great need of Louisi ana is peace and tbe enforcement of the laws, with an active concurrence of the people for whose probation the laws are devised* The lynching, incendiary fires and assassinations which have recently been perpetrated in three or four parishes of the State, are a warning and a menace to capital and labor to uvoid this the most productive State ofthe8outh. Accurate statistics indicate that the crops of cotton! sugar, iruits raised in th« State of

rice and Louisiana during largely exceeded

value, while for the first time in the history of tho State, the crop of corn hss been c^jual to all home demands, leaving a surplus for exportation. What State in the Union with a similar area of cultivated soil shows a like result from equal expenditure with the capital incurred against the excessive taxation by tho funding law and constitutional Hinendments? It now only rests with the citizens themselves to give to emmigrants the assurance that their civil rights will b9 respected that their lives and property will be protected by laws and that no social ostracism-will be visited upon them ou account of political opinions, and the State will receive au influx of labjr and capital which will incrca its prosperity a thousand fold. He points out that in national politics all the interest of the State lie in the direction of hard money and a protective tariff ou rice and sugar, and after reminding the General Assembly of the pledge given in Ihe adjuptment and to accord him henceforth all necessary and iegitimate support in maintaining the laws aud in ad* vancing the peace and prosperity of the people of the State. He says he confidently look9 forward to their cooperation during the coming session in all measures tending to still further lighten the burden of the people, and to still further enforce econ* omy, honesty and efficiency in all branches of the public service.

Columbus, Jan. 3.—The annual message of Governor Allen was sent to the General Assembly to-day. The following is au abstract of il:

The message suggests that, in the Governor's judgment, the path of wisdom leads away from wholesale legislation in the direction of a prudent course which will not encumber the statute books with laws of doubtful necessity, or and to the confusion of the people by the changes of a doubtful utility. On the 5th of November, 1874, the public funded debt of Ohio was $7,988,205,30. The redemptions during the year were $38,» 285.18. Outstanding November 15, 1875. $7,949,920.12. The local indebtedness of the State for the past year is $25,957,588,21 being an increase over the former year of $4,071,5S0 85 The irreducible debt of Ohio is $4,177,668.31, thus making the aggregate debts in Ohio, State, local and trust funds, $38,085,176,74. The local indebtedness is recorded to September 1, 1875, and the State debt to November, 15, 1875.

The Auditor of the State estimate the receipts, including tbe balance on hand

Nov. 15, for the current year

from all sources at $6,610,29:5, and the disbursements at $6,462,700. The taxes levied and collected in 1875 and 1876 aggregate $28,893,182. The taxable valuations as shown by the grand duplicate of 1875 aggregate $1,568,575,862, which is an increase over the duplicate of 1874 of $18,196,538. This increase arises as follows: On real estate in cities and villages $11,182,522, on personal property $7,539,230. In referring to other matters the Governor reports the State, beuevolent, reformatory and penal institutions in a flourishing condition. The penitentiary reports show a surplus of earnings for the year of about $20,000 over its expenses. A suggestion is made whether some changes should not be made in the criminal laws so as to Drescribe the grade of punishment for forgery and burglary as now provided for larceny, so that petty offenders who have not given evidence of being hardened in crime may be imprisoned in county jails instead of being sent to already overcrowded penitentiaries. The Government specially urges the importance of some provision that shall equalize in some degree the senten^ ces in all courts for the same crimes. He says: There are now convicts in the penitentiary under sentence of thirty year3 for precisely the same crimes for which other men are serving three years. The Governor urges the importance of conferring upon the Chief Executive the power of re moving boards or officials of his own appointment for reasons he may deem sufficient. He contends that under the present laws he is powerless to remove such officials, except for financial turpitude. The message reports the mining laws as working well, and that there has been a marked improvement in the ventilation of mines during the past year. A suggestion is made that the Department of Mining might be advantageously connected with the State Agricultural and Mechanical College,

are below the average, but better prices paid for the latter compensate for the defect. Peas are considerably below the average, having suffered greatly in size and quantity. The wheat crop has suffered most, outy one-eighth reaching the average, while five sixths sink below it. Whatever dullness now prevail?, and may for a period continue, our large deficiency will become more evident as the season advances. Should we have a bad spring an important advance must eii.sue.

Archbishop Lodocowski per-4 sists in his refusal to acknowledge the jurisdiction of the uew ecclesiastical court or tbe validity of his de* positiou. It is expected that. the. Government will "intern" him as it did the Bishop of Paderborn unless ho prefer* quitting the country. The whereabouts of the Archbishop of Cologne is still a secret.

The yearning of Rachel for her children was nothing in comparison to his longing to hand down his name to posterity as the proctor of the financial interests of his country. While wo may not question 'he sincerity ot his aes'res, it is nevertheless felt to be a. duty to warn bim that a plan exactly similar to that which he proposes as the means of accomplishing the desired end—greenback inflation—has been previously tried, with disastrous results 19 its advocite and exemplar. We refer to the frog which desired to equal the size of the ox, and which burst from excess of inilation. The similarity between tho cases in point are remarkable, the moving cause in both instances beiDg wind. Need wo add that this warning is kindly intended as a lamp to tho feet of Major O. J. Smith, of the Terre Haute Express. [From the Tsrre H*u'e Morning Expre'P.

Wo regret to learn from the Indianapolis Sun that Mr. John D". Holliday, of tbe Nows, has abandoned the plan of returning to the circus business in which he won world-wide reputation as an acrobat and rider, and that he will be a tandidate for Marshall of Indianapolis at tbo next election. We do not question Mr. Holliday's fitness for tbe office (in fact, bis long service as an Indianapolis policeman admirably qualifies him for the place) but we do not see bow a really talented showman like Mr. Holliday conld bo contented with tbeofllca of Marshall of Indianapolis. But it does seem that tbo mania for office is all bat universal.
