Governors Message.


ST. PAUL, Jan. 10.-The Governors mes
sage was delivered to- day. The funded
debt of the State is only S3,200,00. He
commends Generals Terry and Alexander
for their efficient measures in protecting
the frontier and the route westward to up
per Missouri. He renews his former rec
ommendation that the 100000 acres of land
granted to the State by the General Gov
ernment be set apart for the payment of
the State railroad bonds of 1850.
The message closes with an allusion to
national affairs. He regrets the delay of
reconstruction, and says, with the eXcep-
ton of Tennessee, the rebelliOus States
have rejected the terms offered. Congress
had since sought to establish a just and
civil government South and under the ad-
ministration of Sheridan and other patri-
otic and fearless commanders, the work
of reconstruction was auspiciously begun.
The President whose course has multi
piled the perils and prolonged self-inflicted
sufferings of the erring and unfortunate
people South, by removing those comman-
ders seeks tn defeat the work of reconstruct
ton. He cannot defeat it. He may delay
it during the few brief months remaining 10
him of official power without lowering
the standard of human rights so much as
hairs breadth, still firm in its resolve to
establish government as the everlasting
foundation made it, for In the principles of
the Declaration of Independence the great
party that maintained the integrity of the
government against the deadly assaults of
treason and rebellion is advancing, ana
under the leadership of him Ito whom the
unerring popular instinct point as the man
for the hour. Under him who led our ar
mics to the final triumph on the battle
field we will march on resistle>s to the
consummation of its victories by the res
cue of the Executive department of the
Government from the perverse and reac-
tionary Influence which now control. it and
then when all the powers of the Govern
ment are welded for the protection of
loyal men and the vindication of the great
principle OF liberty, and not till then will
the great work OF restoration be accom-
plished. -s,..-t

Gov. Jenkins Removed.

New YORK, Jan. IA Herald special
from Atlanta the 11th says: Maj. General
Meade has removed Gov. jenkins. The
order will be promulgated Monday. Brig.
Gen. Dunn, Adjutant General under Pope,
is to be the new Governor. Gov. jenkins
declares he will not submit to the order,
and has telegraphed to the President for
protection against any attempt to forcibly
disposses him.
Georgia Convention.
The debate in convention to-day on the
resolution asking Congress for power to
remove State officers, was very exciting
and bitter. Mr.. Miller, who has hitherto
acted with the majority. surprised the con-
vention by denouncing the measure. He
declared that large IN ;jority present rep
resented negro votes and not the taX-pay-
ing inhabitants. He denounced the meas
ure as monstrous deviltry; declared that
Jacobin clubs held nightly meetings to
shape the course of the convention. and ap-
pealed to Congress and the American peO-
pie in the name of humanity, liberty, and
in the name of the white race for protec-
tion from the plots of the majority.
Arrested.
NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-Francis Abegg and
Alfred Bernard, have been arrested on a

From Allan tn.

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-An Atlanta special
to the Times, dated the 10Gh, says a move
ment will be shortly made in convention
as to the question of the right of negro
delegates and certain recently arrived
Northern men to their seats, on the ground
that they are not legally qualified citizens
of Georgia. The resolution requiring Con-
gress to empower the Convention 10 re-
move State officers and appoint successors,
will pass by large vote. 1t is designed as
an expression of want of confidence in
Gen. Meade. A delegation of influential
conservatives of Alabama arrived Tonight
to confer with Gen. Meade.
