It js . j'lftLAlut evory xatizon 4n- ITie Btate tliould be n quired to aid tlie government in the aimpe of tax atlon to tlie extent of the value of ids proia-rty protected thereby. The! ur- deu of taxation, however, should bear recently of visiting tt e Lunatic Asy him, audl n»ustcongratulate tlteState in having a board of Tegents who are most zealously devoting tnuchof their time, without comprnaatlon, to the amelioration of the condition of the unfortunate inmates ofj that instliu- tioD. _ MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT. Ihof e, gentlemen, that the period is now rapidly approaching when the people of this State chu givejess time aud attetilion to political niluirs and devote themselves to the material^de- veloptnent ;df the htate. I do not mean to imply that they should aban don all Interest in those public matters usually understood m» political. Oil tlie contrary, every gooil citizen should take a deep interest in such issues. The character of the government under which a people live exerts a more powerful influence upon their destiny thau alt other agencies cogi- hlued, and that character almost en tirely depends upon the character of ihe governtti'c'nt officials. That gov- erntuent is best which is best adminis tered,-aud the highest and surest guar antee to this end Is capacity and in tegrity on ths part of those to whom the cliffere nt depart to chfcs are entriist- e<l. Under our system, this depends on the manner in which the elective fran chise is exercised, not by a few but by the whole people; hence, It follows that every good citizen should take active part aud exert all hie influence towards the accomplishment of that great end—good government—which iu itself is the beginning aud founda- tlou of all progress fcnd prosperity. But good government has now been accouipliHhrd iu 8 rath Carolina. Home rule baa been rescued from the hands of those political brigands tvho mn- rAuried the State for so long a time, and I hope that it has been made per manent ; if not, it ceitpinly can he made so by tlie continued observance of those great aud wise principles ot justice ami equal protection to. all which basso eminently distinguished the present administration, and which so fully meets the approbation of the go at heart of the people- Su'ch be ing the fact, it is,time to begin rpute- is I .recuperation iu carm-sr. 'After gdoif gWtolTTMt,“tn *riils strength, gieatnuss uaU..pu» people. All bistory teaches the fact that there are three grand departments of human iudustiy — agriculture, com merce and manufactures—which are the corner stones of human progress. two yowfr there t Savg bodied men constantly on the list of penitentiary convicts, besides others in the county Jails. This Is a great mine of useful lab>>r cotnparallvi ly lost to the State. All this labor should be utilized in the development of our re- aouisee. We bate rivers that need deepening, canals thntoughttobedug, mines explored, railroadsTmllt. The beautiful stream that flows by the cap ital now useless and wasted on account of a few trifling obstructions across lift bed near this city, misfit be tuads a vital artery high above this point to the internal commerce of the Sta’e; the old Santee CHt.al opened; those stitutlons. I have had pn opportunity Ttntnense plicl.phatic deposits wfilcli He thualiy on all, and tit is to be hoped i-r,, . . , ^ that, in your wisdom, some u.eHsure ! 1 t,p tri "‘ ,leof ^ P|, ’ SP r ,l y re ‘ St8 may be adopted to Improve tlie pres-! l ^ nn tln ‘ m V H, ‘; 1 ' lu \ l ‘Y” 081 ent system of assess,uint and prLoJ Lu.a -d,? 0 imbedded in the rivers of the low coun try fully expli rid and developed, and many other Important enterprises con summated by a systematic employ ment, through a series of years, of the labor supplied r rom this source. If men will commit crime, what better atonement to the public for their v|- clous conduct thm to be made useful in the development of those matteis In which the tvhole people arc interest ed. The forfeiture and sequestration, so to spcRK, of their labor to the pub lic good, it seems to me, would be a more sensible, humane and effective punishment to them than the immur ing cf their bodies In cells and dun geons, and at the same time would af ford some compensation for the evils which they have committed. If we intend to b(*come a great, strong aud prosperous State, the mudsills of our building must be made of material devHoprtent. Commence with that, and all the other elements of strength and greatness will come of themselves. The lien law expires by its own |lm- Ration on the 1st of January next. This law seems to have been sell ma tured at the last session. It protects the interests of the landlord, opens a way for the poor man who has nothing but his health and muscles upon which to obtain credit to make these availa ble, mid it cheapens the arrangement of recording and filing, and I think it would promote the welfare of the peo ple to have It i'e-etideted. CONCLUSION. , In conclusion, gentlemen, permit me to congratulate the General Assembly and the whole Bute upon the peace and good order which has marked the conduct of our people during the post year, and especially during the exci ting eticumstances of tKe political campaign through which we have Just passed. Since the late war we have constantly claimed that if the State could but lie placed back under the control of those to whom it rightfully befringed, OTTBCWqiM of their supeflor qualifications of integrity, competen cy and Intelest, free from foreign In terference and domestic Ineompetency and mbtule, that the violence and turbulence thereby engendered, aud which were fast becoming chronic fea- m ed in iter history, would Instantly TAKE NOTICE.

If this is dou-, no citizen wuUhl have the ri^ht to complain, for I feel sure tliat all of jour p< ople are villiug to bear their proper shattli of tlie burden of neceb- ! sary taxation ; but in the absence of | thie, cotuplaUris will not only be nu merous but well founded. The olqect Of tlie Board of Equaliz ition is to pro- ducetlds equality, ami to this end the manner in which the B>>ard is to be organized is a matter of the highest importance. fEDri-AT^ON. The report of the; State Superinten dent of Education gives an encourag ing account of the condition of the pub lic schools. The' fiat General Assembly made some importuut chaugis in the School law, which is now better adapted to the wants of our people. The report shows that llG,23d chil dren attended the public h^'oIb last yi-tt*-; an increase of nearly 14,000 over the number reported for the preceding year. This fact, together with the in terest in education manifested by all classes of our citizens, and the im provements in the public school sys tem, show that gratifying progress has been made in this most impor tant department of the State govern ment. ‘ I would especially recommend that, in accordance witfi the suggest (.one of the State Superintendent of Educa tion, some action be taljen which will secure more prompt psyment of the teachers’ salaries.- During the past year much einbarrasment and loss to the teachers resulted In the delay in the collection of taxes. Unless some ^tfertledy for this evil is pfoVltlhd, it ds feared that we may loose the services of some of our best teachers., Thfe other redohnmendations con- taihed in the report are tfell woitby oLyour careful consideration. The early opening ot the State University is, in tny judgment, of the greatest importance. The Constit!*- tlon of the State, Article X, Section 9, makes, it the duty of the General As FRESH AT LOW GOOi)S PRICES! T HE suhecriber is offering a large and well assorted stock of Groce ries, Dry Goods, Shoes, Clothing, &c., at very low prices, for cash. Shear at 9 to 11 ct*. per poHnd.

Now this is precisely the condition of this State: Sinai! iu extent, limited in territory, yet it is full and abounding to a re markable degree with all tlie material elements necessary to the develop- t tjient of these main iudostriss of life. No pait of the globe is blessed with a ■ more fertile soil or genial climate ; no ! portion of ibe Atlafnic coast is mark ed with better hat beta; nor can cheap er roads be built eleewhcre; and where can there be found in any country better facilities for the building up of all kinds of profitable mahufHCtoties, both great aud small, than here? When you look at the State aud see it thus so full of such important natural resources, it Would Seem that Provi- ueoce had Intended that a great and happy people should dwell within its borders. It should be our aim not to defeat this benefieefit end wf Provi dence, either by suIUring misrule on the part of the government or by sloth and inaction on the part of tiis citizens in faiiicg to make use of tho advan tages by which they are surtouhrfed. And I would earnestly recommend to the General Assembly to take ibis mat ter under eoneideration nnd to see bow far legislation can aid in the building up of these Industries. I haVe no spe cial scheme to recommend, but I have thought it would not be out of place to suggest the great ends to be accom plished, leaving the bicans to your bet ter judgment and superior informa tion and wisdom. I will, however, venture to suggest, in reference to agriculture, one mea sure which, in my Judgment, is great ly needed, atjgast in much the larger portion of the tipper country. I refer to what io usually known as the stock law. This law has been tth d in seve ral counties in this (State and in other States, and: from my information, wherever Died, it has invariably Work ed Well, and ultimately gives satisfac tion even to those who ,w;ec$ opposed to it at ths outset. It greatly reduce® the expenses of farming operations, improves the stock, more »flectually protects growing crops, brings thou sands ot acres of good land under cul- setnbly to provide for the maintenance tivation, and, what is of great Impor- of this institution. The. faithful dis charge of the duty thus imposed is rendetfed inorb binding by cousidera- tlohs of the highest policy. There cap be ho doubt that the unity of cur party in the past and the commanding position which for so many years; ttioce in some sections of the State, would preserve the timber and forests of the bountry, and it adds in every way to the ebd of alt investments and labor, vil, profit. In some counties in the Slate it bar been adopted by a Tote of the people, under a previous law eu South Carolina held in the councils of < acted by thb General Assembly. With great deference I would Say thftt this mode of legislation is an innovation of doubtful policy Qpbtt the established manner of enaciing laws; and, betides, elections upon local quest ions generally produce discord and strife sod split communities Into parties, whb h has • tendency to involve other nnd perhaps more Important matters, to the gene ral prejudice of tho country. In this connection, let me say that I the ballon was due in eome measure to the influence of the oollcge. Noth ing will contribute thole to ihe ma- tetTa! prosperty bf the State than the restoration bf this institution to Its former condition of usefulness. I do not .uodereetimate the denomi national colleges which now exist in this State. They are 'contributing largely to the education qf our people, and they well deserve tho patronage tfiettieolves. Ih IF?8 this rr was m complishcJ, and the late cam paign during the present administra tion fully vindicates the justice and truthfulness of our claim In that event, and should silence forever the libels nnd slanders to which the char acter of the cltin *ns of the State has been so long, so unjustly aud so shsms- fully subjected. We as a people are entitled to rejoice at our redemption from gjvernmental misrule and its consequences, and I f* el sure that good men everywhere, when they come to understand the situation, will join with us in our rejoicing, and will sym pathize with us iu our struggle for the permanency of that redemption Let me expreBS the hope that nothing will occur in the future to mar this record, and that our people throughout the State will unite together In the preser vation of the public poAce and the continued Supremacy of the law.
