A similar statement is reported in other quarters. An interesting triaF took place at Ravenna last week, under the Ohio liquor law. A returned soldier named# Greer, while in a state of intoxication, was robbed of $1Q& by some unknown persons. His wife brought suit for damages against the saloon-keeper who sold hhn the liquor, and obtained a verdict in her favor of $120. A fire occurred in this plaoe, at the moment of oar going to press. The houses oocupted by John D. Simril and the dwelling bonse and shoe shop of Mr. Robinson, were burned to the ground- Very little furniture saved. We are unable to state how the fire originated.

( The English Government seems to 2 become more and more frightened in regard to.tbe supposed movements, of the Fenians. A number of detectives from Lon- c don arrived in the last steamer at N.

On Thursday, 26th, the message No. 1, Q if the Governor was read to the members f if both Houses, extracts from which we fa idblish elsewhere in to-day's paper. The uew Coostitutiou of the States proides that upon the first meeting of the ^ Jeoeral Assembly, the Senators shall be a livided by lot into two classes?one half to 01 iold their seats for two, aod the other half ^ or four years, in order that one-half of the rhole number of Senators may be chosen re very two years.

October 27, 1865, To the.HonorabUthe Senate and House of Representative* : GkntlkKXN : I haVe the honor gf trans, mittinc to von the renort of the oommlssion, appointed by order of the Convention, ?tc propose snob legislation as will be necessity and proper in consequenceof the a!terations made in the fundamental laws, and especially to prepare and submit a code for the regulation .of labor and the protection and government of the colored population ol the State: The reportembraoea "A Bill preliminary to the legislation induced by the emancipation of slaves"A Bill to establish add regulate the domestic relations of persons oi color, and to amend the law in relation to paupers, vagranoy and bastardy;"-"A Bill to establish Distriot Courts"A Bill to amend the oriminal law." These hills have been happily conceived and admirably piepared as a perfect system of lair adapted to onr new state of alfrlrs I would urge on tbe Legislature, tbe immediate oonsideratron of tbe code ofliWB. It is absolntelj necessary for the protection of oolored persona and the enforcement Uf their labor.? Without it, there will be the greatest confusion, idleness and orime at the beginning of the next year. The farmers and planters wish to know, at onoe, what they may depend on in regard to the labor of the colored persons, in preparing their plantations for the next year.. The peace and quiet imperiously demand immediate legislation on these subjects. The mere setting free of the negro, withput providing, by proper legislation, for the protection of his rights of peneu and property,: will not meet the expectations of the Federal authorities, and they will retain their military forces throughout the State for the purpose of affording-this protection to the freedmeu and coiored persons' As soon as we pass proper legislatfoo on this rabject, and have our State -government fully organized, I feel assured the President will i8sne bia proclamation, declaring that Sonth Carolina ia no loDger in rebellion and entitled to her position enoe more as a member of the Federal Union. Then your Senators and Mem bera of Congress cannot, with any show of propriety, be excluded from their sea$s. If yon have any doable abont the constitutionality of yonr legislation, in the absence of a constitutional Governor, yon ma; sonsider and pass the bills, and let them be presented to the Governor eleot, as soon as lie is inaugurated, for his approval. A bill to re organize the militia is equally argent and important, and might take the ?me coarse as well as any other legislation poo may see proper to pass. 3* B. F, PERRY.

A message was reoeived. from the House if Representatives; proposing the appoint* nent of a special oommittee*of three, to inquire whether a more suitable plaoe can be irooured for the meeting of the General Assembly, whioh was agreed to. Mr. Sullivan submitted the following esolutions"which were agreed to : 1.

Mr. Baehmao introduced a resolution, r which was agreed to, that it be referred to a special committee of three, to inquire and report what legislation may be necessary to enoouirage and induoe European- imraigratioD to this 8$ate, Whtreupon, the Speaker appointed Messrs Baehmao, .Wegener and Melchers, of the Committee;. . ^ v ' ,s ( Mr. Cannon introduced a resolution, | which was agreed to, that it be referred to the Committee of Ways and Means to in( quire and report as to the expediency of issuing Treasuryt$otefl, or bills receivable % all does to the State, without interest, to , aid the Treasury in its operations, ?nd thereby lighten the burthen of taxation on the people, Adjourned. On Saturday, >but little business of-general interest was transacted in either House.
