message OF THE GOVERNOR OF LOUISIANA
After referring to the result of the Presidential
election, the governor proceeds to notice the var
ious subjects which should come before the Iegis.
lature. He calls for the Intervention of the
legislature to prevent the system of voting out oil
public lands which at present obtains, and sug-
gestsas a means to that end the adoption of a
registry law. He says the condition of the banks
in New Orleans is satisfactory as are the af-
fairs of such institutions in any other cityEof the
Union yet the experiment would be dangerous
were they to resume specie payments simultane-
Ously with the Philadelphia banks; measures
should be taken compelling those banks TO goin
toiquidation which are deprived of active CAPT
tai; but, as there exists probability that Ma
tional bank will be established, clemency should
be extended to them with regard to time
He shows that the finances of the state are
not in very fiourishing condition, and sug-
gests that the Legislature be economical in its
appropriations; as such a course will render
the disagreeable alternative, on his part, unne-
cessary ofso often using the veto power, which
the constitution has placed in his hands. The
difficulty ofobtaining from the Sheriff, for the
time being, the monies of the state at the pro-
per period, requires to be remedied. He sug-
gests that henceforth the term of sheriff's ap-
pointment be limited to one year, and that
without receipt in full from the State treas
urer, he shall be ineligible for re-appointment
TIC also tAlnkS tHat the law OF assessment
Should be amended with view of increasing
the Revenue of the State. He points out the
necessity which exists for protective duty in
favor OF sugar of native growth measure
which would not benefit Louisiana alone but
every State in the Union. He gives a state
ment of the location and extent of the lands set
apart in the State for the support of colleges
and public schools, and hoped that the present
legislature would render itself memorable by
its iudicious application of it, for the literary
and scientific education of the rising genera
tion.
He gives a succint statement of the present
financial position ofthe Board of Public Works,
and recommends revision of the militia laws
of the State; he thinks that if the officers of
militia were elected for given term, instead of
for life at present. that branch of ouI defence
would be improved by the change; it would
have the effect of making the officers more ac-
tive than they are under the present law. The
penitentiary, he says, has realized all that its
originators anticipated. The convict labor
brings a very considerable property to the
State; it is not, however, in accordance with
the spirit of our institutions to have negroes
and white convicts confined in the same prison.
He suggests that the negro convicts be en-
ployed in N. Orleans on the public works. He
speaks in favor of the introduction OF the sys-
tenn in New Orleans of selling dry goods at auc-
ton, by wholesale, as it is done Ia New York;
such system would be calculated to increase
our commerce.

CONGRESSIONAL.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,,

MONDAY, January IL, I64l.
Mr.. Jones of Virginia introduced the follow
ing bill, TO authorize an additional issue ofTrea
sury Notes. He said that although the resour-
ces fthe Government for 1911 were ample to
meet all the current charges upon it during the
year, and to redeem the four million five hun
dred thousand dollars of Treasury notes now
outstanding, and that portion Of the debt which
would fall due in the year, and still leave a
balance of 1884, 27S, at the close of the present
year, yet, that the great Inequality between the
receipts and expenditures at different periods
of the year, rendered it necessary that some
temporary provision should be made to meet
their liabilities.
Mr.. BARNARD offered the proposition which
follows. Some desultory conversation arose as
to the proper mode of submitting it, whereupon
MIR b. withdrew it with the intention hereafter
to offer it in due form. It is as follows:
ResoEyed, That the Committee of The Whole
on the state of the Union be discharged from the
further consideration Of the bill i'll relation to
Treasury notes, and that the subject of making
provision for the wants of the Treasury be re-
ferred back to the Committee of Ways and
Means, with instructions
First. To bring in bill authorizing the Sec
rotary ofthc Treasury to borrow ten millions of
dollars on the credit of the Government, and to
issue bonds of scrip therefor.
Second. To bring in bill imposing duties
for additional revenue on wines, silks, linens,
spices, and other articles, being luxuries, I'M
ported into the United States; bat in such manner
not to conflict with the principles, policy,
and spirit ofthe act of March, 1888, commonly
called ''the Compromise Act"
