State Legislature to-day. Tho message
urges the adoption of thc amendment to
the Constitution of the United States

mends the adoption of vagrant laws, to be

and suggests that vagrant laws similar to
those in force in tho State of massachu?

At a general meeting of the members of

held in the chamber of tho Court of Ap?
peals, previous to the sitting of thc Court,
I Col. Tims. N. Dawkins, of Union, was
I called to the Chair, and John Watics, Esq.,
requested to act as Secretary. Tho Chair?
man announced thc object of the meeting
. to be for the purpose of paying a tribute
I to the memory of Hon. Thomas J. Withers,
j late Associato Judge of the Court of Ap?
peals; whereupon. Mr. Attorney-General
! Hayne offered the following preamble and
j resolutions, which were unanimously*
! adopted. At the meeting of the Court,
] they were presented by Col. Dawkins, and
I feelingly responded to by Chief Justice
j Dunkin, who thereupon ordorod the pro
I ceedings to be entered upon the minutes,
I to be published, and adjourned the Court.
The following are the preamble and roso
I lutions:
GENTLEMEN' OF THE BAU OF SOUTH CARO?
LINA: You are. called together to pay a tri?
bute of respect to the memory of a departed
Judge. Among the many afflictions bear?
ing so heavily on us in these sad times, it
is not the least that wo should have been
I deprived of so many to whoso wisdom and
i learning we have been accustomed to look
I to guide us through difficulties and trials.
\ Nowhere has this loss been felt more than
I among our brotherhood of thc Bar. How
? many lights have boen extinguished in tho
i last few years. W . have now to mourn
I still another. Tho Hon.T. J. Withers, late
; Associate Justice of the Court of Appeals,
is no more. That bright, astute and saga?
cious mind is lost to us forever, and we
have only left his memory and example.
Judge Withers, from his carly boyhood,
gave evidence of the high abilities 'which
distinguished bis after life. He came to
the South Carolina College with a reputa?
tion for talents winch lie well sustained
while there, and at once took rank, if not
the first, at h ast among the first, of that
remarkable galaxy of bright men who com?
posed his elass. In that class were Ban
dull Hunt, of LoMsaina, Bishop Elliott, of
Georgia, Gov. Hammond, of this State,
yourself, Mr. Chairman, Daniel E. Huger
and John 1). Coaltcr, of Missouri. The
expectations then formed of the young
collegian were never disappointed liv the
! man in after life. No man ever thought,
: more rapidly. Ile was distinguished alike
: for sound judgment and great astuteness.
! ami his wonderful facility and felicity of
expressing his ideas, either in writing or
in speaking, was the admiration of all who
knew him. The profession lias lost one of
its brightest lights thc State has lost one
of its guiding minds.
Resolved, That in token of our respect
tn the memory of thc deceased, wo ask
that these proceedings be entered on the
minutes of the Con.t of Appeals, and that
, tho business of the Court bc suspended
I for the day. .
Resolved, That the Chairman forward to
the family of tho deceased a copy of these
proceedings, with an expression of our
I sympathy in their bereavement.
Intelligence from Central Mississippi
reporte the healthy condition of affairs.
Provisions are plentiful, and tho negroes
are well disposed and are returning to
their homes.
