Kol logg's messago to tho General Assombly was sent in to-day. It is an elaborate document. He says: "Tho occasion of this extraordinary session marks a new and, I trust, a better era in the history of our State. The history of Louisiana, since its incorporation into the Union, as summarized in the messages of the suc? cessive Governors, from G-ov. Cloiborne to the recent times, has been unhappily prolific of race antagonism and sectional jealousies and disorders. Though second to no State in natural advantages of cli? mate, soil and products, it has fallen far behind other less favored States in the development of its resources and in the cultivation of that homogeneity of feel? ing and interest without which no com? munity can be permanent or prosperous. The causes of this lack of progress and unity in the post have been us varied as the ills that have resulted. Some are beyond the pale of legislation; they con only be remedied by the action of time in removing present prejudices and eras? ing the memory of past traditions. Others are the result, of the peculiar character of the population of the State and the prevailing diversities of raoe, re? ligion and language. Others again, nnd these by no means the least considerable, have sprung from the improvident and oppressive legislation of late years, in? cluding that of 1865 and 1867, which have managed to subordinate the mate? rial interests of the State to the enforce? ment of partisan purposes and the Secnniary- aggrandizement of indivi uols. j It would serve no good purpose to review in detail the events of our re cent history. The unfortunate past, I with whatever mistakes and wrongs may have been committed on either side, is before yon. . The consequences of these mistakes and wrongs, more eloquent than any language I could use, are also before you. It is your privilege to correct, re? medy or at least alleviate them, and, more important still, to' offer guarantees that such events shall not.cgoin occur. After a political contest, the length and bitterness of which have been unparal? leled, a poliey has at last been adopted, which, 1 think, should have been tried at first, and -which, I trust, will afford an immediate and satisfactory solution of the difficulties that have beset us for years and entailed misfortune and dis? tress npon the people. It is a most hope? ful sign in my opinion when,- as now, citizens of all political parties seem in? clined to take the management of this affair into their own hands and,' sinking party aims, unite to advance the general good." Regarding the State revenues and their collection and disbursement, the Governor expresses the opinion' that the present system is too onmbersome, ex? pensive and unjust, and should bo radi? cally changed. The Governor then de? tails the changes desired, and gives a resume of the State finances, which show a reduction in. the State debt of $3,065, 926 since 1878. < ?? | ; - ( Tho Governor has vetoed the new city charter bill of New Orleans, stating that he did so at the request of a committee v ' of the Merchants' Exchange, 'Cotton Ex? change and Chamber of Commerce, who were preparing city measures themselves. He also vetoed an Act legalizing a large amount of indebtedness said to be due to the State charitable institutions; also an Act authorizing the Parish of Pointee Coupoo- to issue bonds, on the ground that ouch on Act would encourage ex? travagance, and increase the Parish debt; also an: Act depriving the Democratic City Sheriff of his fees, on the ground that the. redactions made in the payment for feeding prisoners were excessive and would work publio injury. > The House was called to order by Speaker Hahn, who announced that since ' tue adjournment, three members had como forward and been Bwom in. W. W. Carlos, of Webster, announced that he did not recognize tho legal existenco of the Hahn House. The Speaker called for the members entitled to seats to step forward and bo Bwom in, and Mr. Carlos was among the first. All the other Conservative members took tho oath. The following resolution was of? fered: Whereas, O. B. Beasley, E. T. Dugas, Jas. Bryoe, J. F. Scales, Charles Sch?ler, E. Kidd, Janus Jeffries, R. C. Luckott, G. W. Stafford, Edward W.
