SI.50 4lx Mouth*. - ?75 WINNSBORO, C, Wednes lay, January 17 - li OO THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE. When Governor McSweeney became Governor be staled that his aim would be to make Irs sd'itiri^tralion busi nesa-like ai.d tLat he would seek to i advanee the mateiial itjie:e?ts of the Stale. Much of bis message is devoted to the material prosperity of the j State, and he urges upon the general assembly to encourage her develop-! ment. His statement of t^e evidences of progress is quite interesting, and i should serve as a fine advertisement, j Cotton manufacturing his be mi the most prominent. "Sou'h Carolina leads all of 'he Sou'hern Stnt-s ai.d stand* second only to Massachu-ttts m the namr>er of spindles and src >i d to none in equipment." This is hot news to tho-e who have read the news-' papeis, but it i* a fact that oughf to be impressed. When it xs rememb? rvd that only a few years ago, sll of oar cotton was sent to the North for manufacture thrs statement will make our wonderful progress in cotton manufacturing more appreciated. "During tbejpast year eleven tew mill* l:ave been organized a; d are in prcc^s of construction, representing aiotaj capital of $3,275,000. Sixteen old mills have been enlarged, representing an increase of their capital 6tock of $2,429,000." Ti e Governor also ca! s attention to the great activity in railroad construction. Two hundred and thirty-seven miles have be#n completed aud in actual process of construction, representing an out'av ?f about $6,000,000 Other evidences of industrial activity are given bv th? Governor. The Governor has a right to feel a pride in the material advance ment of tbe State. The fact that capital teeks investment in South Caro%# ' .t :M lioa snowa taac mere is cuuuucu^c iu the machinery of the government. The finances of the State are also reported in a satisfactory coudition. All th3 obligations of the State have been met promptly, including the interest on the public debt, without borrowing or overdrawing at the banks. If eur recollection is correct, this is a decided improvgmeat, and shoivsthat some good bu>:i:e;s sense has been exercised by somebody councctrd with the administration. One oJ :h9 most iutcrestitig parts of tbe Governors message is that re'ating - 'to claims of the State against the United States Government and claims of the federal government against tbe State. It seems that the United States Government has authorized the United States Secretary of the Treasury to take such proceedings, as may be necessary to collect, any bonds, &c , ' ? *? ? - aaL-, tflat may .ds au? oy ice ouue iu iuc Geueral Government. Tois matter was brought op on account of claims made bv the State by reasons of expenses incurred in organizing volun-j teerafor the war with Spain. Thej General Government cannot settle wi(h the State, under an Act of Congress, uniil the State has ra:.d all it owes to the Uuiied States. But the State has, however, some Revolutionary War claims and claims arising ont of the war of 1812, which if set off * 1 .* 1 - ? ll., against. me Ciaiuit> ui iuc uuucu woald leave a large balance ia favor of the Slate. This matter was mnch discuss; d in the newspapers daring the Ellerbe administration, and Governor McSweeney makes .the very sensible suggestion that provision be made for a search of the Block Report among the "old rnbbish thit isstoied away in odc of the anoccupie 1 rooms of the State Capitol to *e. if this leport cannot bo fonod " The Governor might have gone ^further, and recommended that all "thin rubbish" be brougLt from ruin and arranged in some systematic way for permanent precervation Many valuable papers are doubtless there. The Block Report, if wijl be remembered, was made in 1858 daring Governor Alston's adminis tration, and it is tnougnt u contains all the data necessary to establi-h _ these old claims. This valuab'e paper worth to the State over half a million dollars is thrown away "as rubbish " The Governor has no matured plan to carry oat the provision of the constituiou that *call taxes upon property, real and peivonal, sh-Ul be laid upon the actaa! value oc the property taxed" and "'for a uniform and equal rate of assessment f->r taxation," but calls ,K,.

Higher etlaca'iuit by sh^ Sta'e h-.s become a fixed policy. "To p ill" the higher iustiruii >n3 of learning "down or to give them niggardly assistance wculd be a backward step which I fti-! no true son of Sonth Carolina Wfii'd be willing to take," says the Govrrnor. Robbed the Grave. A startling incident of which Mr* John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject, is narrated by him as follows: "I W8S in a most dre:idtnl condition. My skin wa-a 3lmost vellow, eves fn-iken, tongue coated, p?in c">ntit; uallv in dock ana ?uies, u > a-pciiit*? , grddaalK' growing weaker d*y oy da'. Thrte ph\sicians bad given me n:>.
