H., VU C.: Saturday Morning, September l?, 1866. The Governor's Message. Wo lay before our readers this week thc Message of His Excellency Gov. Ottll. It is ono of tho most straight-forwnrd, practioal documents, which has emanated from tho Ex ecutive Department of the State within our recollection. We aro inclined to the opinion that tho leg islation of thc session will eoufonn very much to tho views and recommendations of thc Ex ecutive. The First Guns. Tho elections in tho Northern and Western States have commonccd. In Vermont, thc Radicals have olected their candidates for Governor and Congress. Nothing bettor could have bcon expected from Vermont. [dalmo territory sends a Johnson man to Congress by a large majority. The First Case. Tho first case of " civil rjghts " equality occurred in this Distriot recently. Sambo ?tolo Sambo'q '/^.cUc?Hwcr atTdMwtfV.*^dhr? in jail ; where ho now is/awaiting his trial boforo thc Court of Sessions. "Not a Ripple on the Wave." Tho war in Europe is over-the great con ventions have met and been dissolved-and there is "not a ripplo on thc wavo" of politics, romance, or war, anywhere. We have, therefore, laid our pen-editorial on tho rack-have taken up the scissors, and filled our columns with the excellent message *, of Gov. OUR, proceedings of thc Legisla w turo, etc. The Markets. Cotton was quoted in New York, on tho 11th, nt 33 to 80. Gold, 45*. New Advertisements Tho reader will find in this issue a number of now ndvertiEstr.cn is, eclating to matters of interest to himself and neighbor. Good, if True. Tho Columbia " South Carolinian," in an article announoing that thc bridge over Broad River has been completed, says : "Since these draw-backs no longer exist, the President, Mr. HAMMETT, alivo to tho wants of tho community, hos directed a great reduction in tho prico of freights, and in a day or two it will bc announced that goods will be carried tho entire length of tho road cheaper than they aro transferred over any other road in tho State, in proportion to tho length in miles. With a commendable sympathy for tho poorer and suffering classes, he has direct ed that all necessaries of lifo shall bo materi ally reduood in the point of freight charges, and through freights from Charleston will be transferred without cost to thc shipper from ono .depot to thc other." PHILADELPHIA; September 5.-Tho con ventionists have been wrangling over tho no gro suffrogo question, and ndjourmcd until to morrow, without presentation of resolutions or address. Tho minority roport favors ne gro suffrage A rosolution offered by Moss, of Virginia, to instruot Congress to provide for tho en fra ti eh iso i II ont of tho blacks, lcd to much confusion nnd great oxcitomont ; during tho debate, it was finally referred. Tho Northorn and Southern Conventions fuso to-night and hold a mass meeting. Spcochcs woro mado in the former by Butler, Sohonok and Senator Wilson, bitterly denun ciatory of tho President. Q?* Thc " Greenville Mountaineer " says that tho Southern Baptist Theological Semi nary, at that placo, has resumed its work un der promising oiroumstanccs. ..."ai_gs_i- ?gagg .ji,jt.,-"?*'~ J..?.JJJ'-UM.?U . Tho Approaching Court Most of our readers will bo interested in knowing the Situation of affairs, soys tho " Ab ervillo Banner," of the 4th instant, in refer ence to tho business of tho approaching Court. So far as wc aro ablo to form any opiuion now, there will bo cotuparetivcly few suit? returned to tho Court. If this bc true, it will bc very much as was anticipated by many. In times of great distress Uko these, tho interest of debtors and oreditors aro too closely allied to admit of anything like oppression by tho oue or thc other. Thcro is, too, in all well order ed communities a publio sentiment which viry few havo tho hardihood to outrage. When it is remembered that there has scaroely been a Court upon the circuit for six years for the transaction of business, and in consequence thereof a vast accumulation of business, thc number of cases returned will fall immoasn-' rably short of that wido-spread ruin which has been so ?oudly predicted. Creditors are too shrewd to adopt the policy of indiscriminate t? Vlei ne. The Radical Convention. A Southern Radical Convention, bended by Ex-Gov. HAMILTON, of Texas, bas been in session at Philadelphia. It was a completo failure. Tho convention split on "negro suf frage," and dissolved. Thc blight of Tennes see, dov. BROWNLOW, made u characteristic speech, in which ho decreed the destruction of thc Southern people President Johnson's Tour. JACKSON, Michigan, September 5.-Tho President and party passed herc to-day. Tuesday morning, a reception was tendered him at Hlyrin, Ohio; but it was marred by several insults. A black Hag was displayed, and thc band drawn up to receive tho partj played a dirgo instead of a national air. At Oberlin, no reception was tendered. At Free mont, a very nnthusiustio demonstration toofc place. At Toledo, thc radicals marred tlx proceedings by insulting interruptions j bul with theso exceptions, the affair passed of well. ? k?etit crowd assembled ut Detroit whero (len. (Jrant received the party in per son. Thc crowd was so overpowering, thu arrangements for a procession could not b effectually carried out. Thc President's speech at Detroit is ono o thc most remarkable delivered by him. A per son in thc crowd insultingly alluded to the sal ary paid tho President, who, thus interrupted nddrosscd tho intruder as one of tho radica hounds, who had been barking at him tb eight months past, and taking up tho allusioi to his salary as his text, ho poured a bronc1 side of invectivo and ridicule into the radier , Congress which bc called tho Congress wide had_doj.iblr.AitH-?i>"VTHitHi-niitlagi,o ' pTff??ico u ' "fifty dollars bounty for their fcervicos. Gen. Grant hus rejoined thc party. Sec rotary Seward, in his speech, alluded lo th efforts being made to separate Grunt und tb President, characterizing them as futile. CHICAGO, September 7.-The Presiden concluded his remarks nt thc laying of th corner-stone of thc Douglas Monument as fol lows : " I am present to show my high rc gard for a mau who perished in public service and ono whom 1 respected and loved. I hay no eulogy to pronounce-that has been don better than I could do it.

Douglas to bc disturbed from his slum hers, ho would rise from his grave, shake of the habiliments of thc tomb, and proclain " thc Constitution and tho Union-they mus? bo preserved." [Groat applause] INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. ll -Thc President arrived herc yesterday evening. Along thc route from St Louis ho was received with great enthusiasm, but upon being introduced to a great assembhigo hero there woro signs ol groat disorder among tho crowd, and tho con fusion was so great that the President retired from tho Balcony of tho hotel. Several dis turbances occurred among tho crowd with lam entable results, pistol shots were fired and one man killed and several wounded. Tho crowd dispersed from the hotel about ten o'clock, al which timo everything was quiet. CINCINNATI, Sept. ll.-Thc City Council refused by a volo of 18 to (i to tender thc hospitalities of tho city to Presidential porty A meeting of tho oitizens at tho Chamber ol Commerce last night resolved to tender a pub lio reception to tho distinguish visitors, and i Committee was appointed to mako tho neces sary arrangements.
