Legislatures,

The Lou 'siana Legislature met in New
Orleans January s. Everything passed off
quietly. The House, after receiving the
Governors message, adjourned out of re-
spect to the memory of l.. 81. Southland and
E. L. Pierson, deceased members.
Governor Kellogg's message was exceed
ingly elaborate. He saws the bonded and
floating debt of the State when he took
charge was $24,093, ,407.20. He gives elabo-
rate tabular Statements of the movements of
State finances since, and says it will thus be
seen tina t the present bonded and floating
debt of the State is now, January 1, 1876,
$19,061 ,645.25, and that the debt of the State
has been decreased during my administra-
ton $5,100,SO5. While this reduction of
debt has been effected, the general expen-
ditures of the Government have been largely
reduced, and taxation has been diminished
from q u to 141z mills. The receipts of the
present year, up to December 20, have ex-
ceeded by S235, 480 the entire receipts for the
year 1872, and the expenditures for the cur
rent year, up to December 20, show a rednc-
ton of 81 1882 upon the expenditures of
1873, and 81 Ala, ,S73 upon the expenditures of
1872. The expenditures of the three years of
my administration show saving in expendi-
lures of $9, ,269, ,55394 as compared with the
last three years of the previous administra-
ton. With regard to the financial condition
of the city of New Orleans, he states that
the debt of the city is over $23, 100000. The
city's default on interest last year was ST.
295, ,057, its deficit on appropriations for iu-
terest this year was 81, 142, 500. Accurate
statistics indicate that the crops of cotton,
sugar, rice, and fruits raised in the State
during the past year largely exceeded fifty
million dollars in value, while for the first
time in the history of the State the crop of
corn has been equal to all home demands,
leaving surplus for expectation. He points
out that in National politics all interests of
the State lie in the direction of hard money
and protective tariff on rice and sugar.
The Minnesota Legislature met at st. Paul
January 4. The Republicans have major
ity in both Houses. w. R. Kenyon, of
Steele county, was elected Speaker, and
Charles W. Boswell, of Faribault county,
Chief Clerk. In the Senate, Charles w.
johnson, of Minneapolis, was elected Secre-
tary. Mr.. Kenyon was speaker of the last
House.
The Colorado Legislature met at Denver
Butler Speaker. The session will probably
be short and devoid of more than local in
terest. The Constitutional Convention is
State Constitution.
Hon. Harrison Ludington, Governor-elect,
with other State oficers-elect, were ipaugu-
rated at Madison, Wisconsin, January 8.
The attendance was very large, special
train carrying the members from Milwaukee.
The ceremonies took place amid the firing
of cannon, playing of bands, etc. In the
evening a reception was held, and grand
ball in the Assembly and Senate Chambers.

Consumption carries off more victims annually

which many physicians have pronounced incurdble
and others have failed to cure. There are many
persons treated for Asthma at the Institute many
years ago, who have never had the least indication
of recurrence of the disease since 1t may sure
ly be said, that under the Aerian System the afec-

tried in vain.
The system is net one of mystery, but every fa-

There is no single remedy, no one universal spe-
cific, but system of treatment based upon reason

diseases by local remedies, constitutional diseases

that all persons of intelligence see its reasonable

Governors Message.
To tie General Assembly Of Ohio i:

TO the General assembly Of Ohio:
You have assembled in your honorable
and important capacity of law-givers to the
people of the State. At the outstart of your
session, it may be well for you to consider
whether the public interests will not be best
subserved by prudent and determined
inquiry for means to reduce the expenses of
the State and local governments, and relieve
the people from as much of the burden of
taxation that is now weighing them down as
possible, rather than by excessive legislation
with which former General Assemblies have
bewildered the people. Changing circun-
stances, of course, require notifications in
the laws, and new statutes are needed, from
time to time, to meet contingencies; but, in
my Judgment, the path of wisdom leads
away from wholesale legislation, in the
direction of prudent and conservative
course, which will not incumber our statute
books with laws of doubtful necessity, or
add to the confusion of our people by changes
of doubtful utility. Statutes should be al
lowed to stand until they are tested, and
slight imperfections are better borne than
the utter chaos and uncertainty into which
the public mind is thrown by constant
changing of the laws. A little law well un-
derstood and strictly executed will better
subserve the public good than tones of
statutes which have been amended beyond
the comprehension OF the people.
The last General Assembly proposed two
amendments to the Constitution of the
State for adoption or rejection by the
electors. One provides for Commission
"to dispose of such part of the business on
the dOckets of the Supreme Court as shall,
by arrangement between said Commission
and said Court, be transferred to such Com
mission" and the other was intended to
provide for taxing dogs. These amend
ments were voted upon at the election held
on the 18th day of October last. The former
was adopted, and has been declared part
of the Constitution of the State. The latter
was rejected.
The following is a brief summary of the
present financial condition of the State:
