?W4 / VOL. I....NO. CO. CHARLESTON, S. C, WK?NESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1865. PRICE FIVE CENTS. BY TELEGRAPH. - -'?' Stuumiiry of the President's Message. Wabh?otow, December 6.?Tho Mossago of Presi dent Johnson wan read to CougToea this day. "It Bays that rcslBtanco to tho Government having exhausted lt nelf, the first question tobo considered is, wbotbor tho territory within tho limits of Slates which attempted to ?eccdo should bo held as conquered territory, under military authority emanating from tho President. Ibj considers tfiat mUltary governments established for an indefinito period would have offorod no security for an early supprcsBlon of discontent, would havo producod a vanquished people fuU of envenomed hatred, rather than restore their affection, which la tho truo theory. All protended acts of secession woro from the begUmtng null and void. H tatos cannot commit treason nor sccodo through their individu?! citizens who may bavecommit tod treason. The States attempting to secede placed them selves in a condition wherotholr functions woro suspond ed.but not destroyed; but if any Statoheglccts, or refueoB to porform Us offloes, there la tho moro need that tho General Government should maintain its authority, and, as soon as practicable, resume its functions. On this principle ho acted, gradually and equally; by almost im perceptible steps, ha sought to rostoro tho rightful oner gy of tho Oeneral Government and tho States. To that end Provisional Governors were appointed. AU parties In tho late terrible conflict must work together in har mony. It is not too much to ask that a ono-Bido plan of ??storing the States BhnU proceed in conformity with a willingness to cast tho disorders of the past into ob livion, and that on the othor side the evldonoo of sln cc?iy in the future maintenance of tho Union shaU bo put beyond doubt by tho ratification or the proposed anti-slavery amendment of the Constitution. This amendment being adopted, it would remain for tho States to resumo their places In both branches of Con gress, and thereby complete the work of restoration. The President says that tho General Government has no authority to make the freedmon electors; that power re mains with the States; they can decide whether it is to be adopted at once, or Introduced gradually, with tho condition, howevor, that the Government faith requires tho security of the freedmen In thoir Ubcrty, property, right to labor and to claim jurisdiction of then? labor. It will bo his constant aim to promote peace with all foreign nations, and thinks they aro animated by tho same disposition. Tho accordance of belligerent rights to the insurgent matos was unjustifiable; but Groat Britain was au excep tion ; sho built ships, furnished men and material of war to the Insurgents. A justification of it cannot bo sus tained before the tribunal of the world; at tho same time he does not adviso any present attempt at redress by acts of legislation; for the futuro tho frlondship be tweon the tiro countries must rest on a basis of mutual juHtiuc. Wo have wisely foreborne, because of tho alleged propagandista of republicanism; but it should bo a cause of great calamity to our selves and tho cause of good .government should any foreign power challenge tho American pooplo to its dofenoo against foreign interference. Ho relea on the wisdom and justice of those powers to respect our sys tem of non-interference, which has bo long been sanc tioned by time. National Thanksgiving. By the President of the United States of America; A. 1'KOCLAMATION. Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God, during tho year which la now coming .to an end, to relieve our beloved country from the fearful scourge of civil war, and to permit us to secare the blessings of peace, unity and harmony, with a groat enlargement of civil liberty; ?ad, Wheras, our Heavenly Father has also, during tho year, graclonsly averted from us the calamities of for ?ign war, pestuonco and famine, whilo our granaries are full of the fruits of an abundant season; and, Whereas, rlghteousncBS exaltcth a nation, whilo sin is .a reproach to any people: Now, therefore I, Amuiiew JohmboH, President of the United States, do hereby recommend to the people thore of that thoy do set apart and observe tho first Thursday of Coosinber as a day of National Thanksgiving to tho Creator of the Universe for these deli veranees and bloea infe. And I do further recommend that on that occasion tho whole people make confession of our national sins ?gainst His infinite goodness, and, with one heart and one mind, implore the Divine guidanoe In the ways of national virtue and holiness. la testimony whereof I hare hereunto set my hand, ?ad caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the City of Washington this twenty-eighth day of October, In the year of oar Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-five, and of tho Independence of the united States the ninetieth. ANDREW JOHNSON. By the President: WiLUam II. 8zwaju>, Secretary of State. ? o ? The Coal Trade?Knoruioua Profits of tho Companies. [From the Philadelphia Ledger.] Tho reduction or the price of anthracite coal, as shown toy the hut auction sale of 25,000 tons at New York, com pared with a siiiiilnr sale there a month ago. Is on an average of the six different sizes of coal, just 104>? cents per. ton. This is a Urge decline, and Is the result of several cauBca. First?strikes early in the season, and subsequently a short supply of cars brought tho coal tonnage below that of last year to a corresponding time. ?Second?The consumption of coal following the war, in stead of being lesRened. was increased by the greater activity gi> eu to the steam marine of tho country, and by tho increased demand for fuel' by the njanufacttirerr of iron; and, Third? The coal trade, for Us great magni tude, is centered in comparatively few handa, thus ren dering a combination to put up prices leas cUffloult than in almost any other pursuit. To what extent the ruling prices of coal the current year la attributable to "understandings," formally or informally entered into, wo cannot pretend to say, but we aro sure of one tldng, and that is, the price of coal has been unwarrantably high all the year, and oven with the laat decline in prtco, is BtlU too high. The profite aro greater than result from almoat any other legiti mate pursuit, and much greater than could be reabzed if mining was la a greater number of hands. Wo'know that It is a heavy business, and requires a largo outlay of capital, but it 1b Bufflciontly within the control of In dividual cnterpriBo to be in a greater number of handa than it le, and It probably would bo much more divided np If its proata were loss. The huge firms, with largo means, like the Rreat oak that dwarle all efforts of tho sapling in its shade to riae, possesses advantages that ?ids them in retaining tho business so exclusively in their bands as it Is. Associations of men havo, on several occasions, or ganized Into companies under the State Mining Law, but, in too many instances, they have proved mere, sp?culations, directed more to the Bale of shares at ex orbitant prices than to the production of coal at fair pro fits. The Mining Law is, however, a good one, and was unsigned to meet tho very ovil alluded to, and which oxlste now, compared with tho magnitude of the trade, to m greater extent than ever before The coal com panies created within the last two or three years, un fortunately, havo covered an amount of capital to twice or three tlmestho market value of the property Incorpo rated. There will, however, much good result from them, by increasing tho number of producers, and widoning tbe sources of supply. They are worthy all reasonable encouragement, and there is reason to be lieve, as they gradually pass from the hands of specula tors and sharpers to thoae of practical men, will become fairly remunerative to the owners. These companies are among tho moat direct means of reaching cheap coal, promising, as Bevtral of them do, to largely increase the supply. Any attempt to lacr?ate tho price of coal by moans or combined action will be watched and remem bered before Coagrase. LETTER PROM NEW YORK. [ruoM oun ows conBBsroMDKirr.] Thoro wob a timo when the craving for excitement among the masses of tho peoplo hore could bo sutlsfiod by on extentdvo conliagratiou, a grand iirocosslon, a big Btreet row, a divorce cose, a suicide, a burglary, or a first olsnn murder. These things, however, bave liocomo matters of almost overy-day occurrence, and have, thero foro, grown flat and ccininon-placo. But still, when two or moro of them como to light simultaneously, thoy do cr?alo t-omo little excitement. At prescut we havo on tho corpot a real old-fashioned, cold-blooded murder, to gcthor with a divorce caso replete with scandal. No minder can bo considered a real first-class one unless ono or moro of tho actors concerned have long sonorous Spanish names. In tho cobo in question all of them havo this qualification, and thorcforo the thing is rather interesting. Joeo Gonzales y Fernandez and Francisco G on ok y Hnlvartor aro tho niurdorurs; tho place was tho park In Brooklyn, und the murdered man, whou ho was olive, called himself, and was coUod by others, Don Jose Garcia Otero. Tho dlverco case, which is now in court, is Strong rorro? Strong. As both plaintiff und defendant must necessarily make out a strong case and a strong defence, thoro Is no telling, ou the strength of this, who will come out the ?loner. As if all this woro not sufficient food for oxcltement, wo receive from Albany a horriblo account of Uae mui dor of a whole family, consisting of a man, his wifo, and daughter aged twelvo years; und from Plttsburg tho blood-curdling detaiU of the trial and sentence of Mar tha Grinder, the "American Borgia," who poisoned Mrs. Mary CaroUno Caruthere, in August last. I could add to tho list Bomo conflagrations, gunpowder explosions, &c, but I f?ar to Inflict your readers with too many hor rors at a timo. I told yen in my laat that Tom Savers was dead; it sooms superfluous to add in this that he la buried ; but thoro are circumstances connected with his funeral that make it interesting. Tho English papers toll us that n tre mendous crowd of blackguards and plug-uglies attended Tom's funeral, and in their eager anxiety to get into the church yard, there was u regular "knock-down and drag out" fight between them and tho police Every body had heard that Tom was dead; somo people could not conceive-tbo possibility of such s bruiser having really given up the ghost. But when tho row came off, and poor Tom did not como out of his cofflu to take a hand in tho frco-Qght, then they all knew hu must bo dead in earnest. Last night tboro was a Hcckor ratification meeting nt the Cooper Institute. To-night tho Uoffmanites will hold their meeting at the samo place. An your readers ore not expected to be particularly intorv.t-.il in tho polltioal fight between Mozart and Tammany Hall, It is Just as well for me to drop both Hccker and Hoffman without further remark. The Washington correspondent of the Hurald writes that "it la now asserted that Jeff. Davis is not to ho tried by a military court.'; I havo boon under the impres sion that this point had been thus docldcd several montbB ago. Your roadcrs (at least a portion of them) may havo heard of making up pools at horse-races; but it will perhaps bo something new to them to learn that it is customary hero to moke up pools in which candidates at an election aro put up and sold. A poil was made up last night at Lafayotto Hall, in which the four candidates for Muy or?Roberts, Hoffman, Hccker und G?nther? were put up \nd sold like, so many ruco-horscs. Tho best way to lllustrato how these things aro managed is to glvo an account of tho bidding In one of tho eight pools mudo up last night. Tho auctioneer aunonnoed that there were four candidates, and that the first choice ii put up. The first choice is knocked down to Mr. A. for $50. Mr. A. names Roberts as his man, puts tho $60 in the pool, and receives a printed certificate. Second olioico was thou put up and knocked down to Mr. B. for $45?Mr. B. choosing Hoffman, and forking over his $1S. Third choice aold for $10 to Mr. C, who named Hocker. Fourth choice only brought $3, and was bought by Mr. D., m ho of course was obliged to take G?nther. Thoro was now $108 in the pool, and when the election takes place, which ever candidato is successful, tho man who holds tho ticket with his name thereon takes the pool. It sometimes happens in horse racing thai the man who buys tho name of the cheapest hors?? wins the money. It will hardly happon so, how over, in this case. Last night the "Octoroon" was performed at the Win ter Garden. On Its first representation (at tbo eamu theatre) several years ago, I was present 'After it had been performed three times, Agnes Robinson, Dion Bourcicault's wife, received su vend anonymous commu nication! threatening her lifo in tho event of the play's being farther repeated, and If my memory servos me faithfully, I think It was withdrawn. Things aro chang ed now, however, and the Octoroon can be played any. where, even in Charleston Itself. Gold opened yesterday at $1.48, ran up to $1.4H\, und then fell to $1.48?,'. MOULTRIE. ? ? THE .STATE LEOI?LATCKIJ. [FROM OUT? OWN COBBESrONDKNT.] Columbia, December 4.?The report of the President and Directors of tho Bonk of the State ha? been printed and laid before tho Legislature. It says : "Tho dis charge of the duty of supplying the me ins to meet tho appropriations made by the Legislature during the late contest has exhausted its active resources, and tbo Bank is unable to answer the demand which it has, heretofore, always responded to, by advancing moans to meet tho public expenditure In anticipation of the col lection of tho State revenue." In the acoompanying statement it shows that tho per sonal deposit account amounts to $4,307,3?.78; but the report says that these 'deposits were received in the then ourronoy, on the express condition that tho par ties depositing were to take all the risk of change of value. The report farther shows that the President, in connexion with tho Comptroller-General, borrowed from other banks, under Act of December, 1864, $1,340,616; but sovcral of tho banks making tho advance oro Indebted to the Bank in balances to the amonn t of $503,000; aud the whole indebtedness was merely a cur ronoy obligation. The .report further shows that the Book paid for tho expenses of the Convention $13,000 in specie, which it was provided that the General Assembly should refund. The report calls attention to the fact that the English lndebtedneai of the State requires special attention, Baring Brothers ft Co. having paid the interest, a part only of which has been refunded, leaving the Stute their debtor to tho amount of $12,625.40. No provision has been made for tbo semi-annual interest due in January. The principal or the debt due in Europo is 109,000 pounds sterling. The Bank is in possession of assets, exclusive of Con federate paper and of sums advanced to tho State, to tho amount of about $3,600,000: but apart of this consists of notes taken for loans lu currency. The report recommends that tho State 1hs.ui certifi cates of indebtediiesn to pay officers and creditors, this Issue to be in bills of the denomination of flva and teu dollars, and rocol vdblo tu payment of taxes. It also state? that It has determined to open In Charleston on office for receiving deposits, and, it continue?!, thr?t "it is bohevod that with tho revival of business an enlarge ment of its operations would on sue, aud It enabled to resumo the position it has hitherto held." 'i'hw-o aru the chief pointu of the report. Whatover the proceedings of tho Legislature may havo boon to others, they woro, to your corrospondunt, ex? coedlwriy wearisome. The District Court Bill was again up In both Houses. In tho Sonata but little progress whs mudo, but lu the House the second reading was nearly completed. Tho following aro tho principal amendment j modo in that body : Tho clause of ecctlon six, which was ntrlckcn out on Saturday, wan, ou a iu consideration, oioyed by Mr. HasktU, restored, and a person is not now forbidden from giving testimony on account of interest or disbelief in God. The noventa section was amended to to to r< a uiro that, in caso the Dlstriol Judge shall be a party in Interest in the suit, tho cune shall bo removed to a neighboring District. Mr. Hinionion also moved an amendment that all judgments Kb ill bo entered up in tho Circuit Court next ensuing. Tho poi-liou of section seven, giving concurrent juris diction to District Courts in oases of misdemeanors committed by whit? persons, won tritken out. These amendments aro (ho only things of any interest that can bo etftcd out of tho continuous labor of several hour.?. Mr. Weutherly presented a petition of sundry citizens of Charleston,' to establish a railroad. Mr, Durye? pre sented a petition for an act of incorporation for the Stonewall Fire Company of Charleston. Mr. Norton Introduced a bill for the relief of debtors, which was read for the first time. Mr. fjiruonton moved resolutions that' after Tnoeday, the House shall taka a recces at 8, to meet at G ?'clook. Mr. I'uryci offered resolutions that the Committee of Ways and Means Inquire into tho expediency of pro viding for the renewal of certificates of itocksand bonds Li?t, 7? Mr, Alken offered. reaoluUona to refer to the Commit tee on Retrenchments ns to tho propriety of abolishing tho ofllce of Adjutant and Inspector-General; also, of abolishing the omoe of Comptroller-General. * Several Committees,made, roports. Among other? tho Committee on Offices and Officers reported against the appointment of James A. Duffus, and reported tho said ofiloe vacant Mr. Simonton then moved to c<> into an cloction for Btate Assessor on Wednesday noxt, at I P. M. A bill to amend the rhnrter of tho Greenville and Co lumbia Railroad w?b then rend, and also.a bill to pro-, veut the spread of Asiatic Cholera, which 'having been rend a pecond time was ordered to bo scut to tho Hanato. The two Housob will probably adjourn about the 15th of this month. To stay much nearer Christmas would be contrary to South Carolina precedent. Santa Claus must visit the children with presents.
