The Goyernor's Message.

JACKSON, January 4.-During the
session this morning nothing Of impor-
tance transpired.
The Governors message was read in
the Legislature to-day. He says that
it is a source OF qualification to inform
the Legislature that there has been no
riot or disturbance which the civil
authorities have not been able to
promptly suppress. The election, al
though preceded by an exciting canvass,
was attended with no demonstrations of
violence and the will ofthe people been
fully acquiesced in without q murmur.
The Ku-Klux which threatened to
override the law and parslyzs industry,
has been entirely suppressed, and the
people are free to bestow their attention
and energies to their material condition
and finances. He says taxation when
rendered distasteful makes a good dis
organizer and kindles insubordination.
He recommended a reduction OF taxes
to the extent only Of carrying on the
government. He represents the float
ing debt as $l04,572, ,3l9 and steadily
increasing, being greater by AS,79S,-
67S than it was on the first Of January.
1871. Also that State warrants have
been fuctuating in a condition preju-
dcial to the interests Of the State. He
also states that an administration that
permits State finances 10 suffer is
prohigate. This deplorable situation
he attributes to q false policy. and
believes it to be an absurd attempt TO
conduct the finances Of the State in
utter disregard of the constitution, and
will ultimately lead to bankruptcy, and
recommends that currency shall be re-
ceived for taxes and other State indebt.
ness, and that outstanding debts be
funded into bonds from one TO eight
wears bearing. six per cent He closes
by reposing the utmost confidence in the
integrity and devotion Of the Legislature
with the promise to heartily cooperate
in any measure calculated to promote
peace and happiness.

ing, and nothing whatever was left ex-
cept the ashes and bits Of bones. The
doctors were able 10 identify them as
human remains, but as there was moth
ing that could be identified with any
certainty they were shoveled into cart
and dumped into the lake. The pro-
prietor of the fremont House says none
of the servants or boarders were missing
after the fire, and that q search revealed
the fact that there was no human beings
in the building fully five minutes before
the fire struck it. 1t is the opinion OF
some that the unfortunate persons went
to Andrews IL Co.'S store to rescue
property and were caught by the falling
walls.
Duke Alexis left Milwaukee this morn
ing and arrived here at l245. During
the afternoon tomorrow a private audi
ence will be given in the fremont parlors
to all citizens who desire to shake the
hand Of royalty.

supposed to know something that will
be interesting to the public in relation
to the contracts for public works in the
city for some years past.
