Ths Governor's Kecsage.
Governor Seott in .response to h reso-1
Intion* of the Legislature, requesting!
information why the Executive jias not]
interposed t>y bulling out the militia toi
repress.^ he troubles in Union and tfr-ar- j
tanburg-, has s.nt in a message, which '
affords a very satisfactory reply. Thej
wise forbearance and manly indepen-i
dence of the Governor, will secure the)
- < 1.-4 1,
approval of the discreet men 01 uuui (
parties, who will fully xn'dorse the views)
of the message.
He sa.vst.: "in ftarai?hing you 'such,

}?ly, and while I deeply deplo're the c!is- j

the reported cases of individual outrage,
atfd \vh?u no information has been received
iu this office indicating- anything'
like a county organizaton to defy or to;
. defeat, the law. I am the more cautious}
in this respect, because it will ho recol-J
lected that very many cases of individ
ual violence have hitherto been reported j
both from the Counties of Abbeville and j
L'tbrefield, but the prompt and impartial1
luimhmtiaiion of justice in tuese conn-,
tics has proved t|iut the civil power wat
sufficient for the protection of the life
liberty <and proi>crty of our citiaens, urnij
tbose counties arc now as quiet, peacea4)1
e Tin J ami orderly as any portion of
the State. Iiut if there wa#any portion J
of the State in which violence and dis-i
order-were so general as to disarm the!
^ower of the civil courts, I must say,]
lpnlsly, that I luive no such militia I
force as would be competent to suppress j
them; and if I hufl, 1 have no means!
to pluce and maintain such a force-in)
the field. If by the outlaws who have J
not been .brought to condign punishment;
yon mean those individuals who have'
lately perpetrated the outrages in the!
Counties of ^nrtanburg ttud Union, II
?:*t>uly tsay that every effort lias been
made that could lawfull}; be-made, by
the Ekccutive, to discover these criminajsi^jd
bring them to a speedy trial..
In some instances, those suspected of!
gwiithave been committed for trial, and
in their cases the Executive is without
^power, as he ought, to bo without disposition,
to interfere with the due administration
of the law. I-:i other instances,
the perpetarors of these crimes are not
knowii3aud have not yet been discovered.
I
Again wiih a^gard to tho erpremacy'
of the law, bo says :
"It is my opinion that the civil law of.
itic Stntc oi&ht to fee sufficient, ana ic it
my determination that ii, hhall bo sufli-'
cieut to pvotcet th-e person find property
of.every ?n 1 any citizen of the tstate,
iiowever humble, friend le?n? or obnoxious.
I cannot bring myself to cou template
the use of an urB^jj^Joree to punish
iudlyidual violations <2" the law in a
time of profound,^>eaqg. Such a retne<iy
would-be 4is bad-ns the disease, and
would b? a public declaration that there
Was no-civif government in .vouai chi'o)i?a,
and that we are iiving in a coijdi f
ion of social anarchy. I am bound l>y
toy oaj-h of office as the JSxccutive'of
this Htate, and in refeivuee to tfc'ose
jirineiple# of constitutional liberty wfiich
lire the vital force of true Republicanism
to see tint the Jaw i3 duly enforcer^ before
I resort to ether and dangerous powers.
I dare.not and will not a^iiaie
lhat justice cannot be administered, un-til
the effort hasi>e?n made and the fail*
;ure evident."
To secure thf better enforcement of
the lav.-, the Governor recommends that
increased efficiency be given to the ad
jainlstratian of the orimimu iaw, Devesting
the Attorney General wiLU po-.v*^r
to supervise the action of the various
iJoliu itors, and by placing a corps of detective
police under the control of the
Attorney-General and Solicitors. It is
not proposed to give these last the powcjof
arrest.
In the midst of the legislative clamor
at Columbia calling for hasty and iila<]vised
action, it i.i gratifying to IJnd
the Expcutive assuming ho conservative
? policy, aftd arraying the power of the;
ppvernment in-supporj of the law.

Jiie State Auditor's Report,
The Report of the State Auditor hgs
1jeen published, and embodies much
valuable information with regard to the
taxablo property of tho State, real and
personal, aud tho amount of ta:;ea assessed
and collected.
One of the most note-worthy fact# exhibited
by tho Report, is that out of
130,000 voters iu the State only some
41,000 have paid their poll tax. As there
are about sixty thousand while vpteiB,
the blacks, it is very evident, have not
paid 3heir pott tax. There ib no disfranchisement
on account of failure to pny,
and a3 a consequence the blacks have
refused to*pay. Vested with the control
art the government they contribute nothing
to it?,suppor.t?not eve^the paltry
poll-tax.
Another uupleasant fact exhibited by
TJonrtrt i? tlin iJinrr>?icr>Yl rnt.fi of .taXH
tion for the present year. , During the
year ending October 31,1870, the total
amount received for Slate ta^e^ -was
$699,57-3, Th is year the State tax (inclu<ling
the poll Us) will be at letit $1,"oOfiQQ.
prior to tl>e eleptionf^of Octclast,
we had a State tax of ? mills on
tho dollar. The Radicals*won, and,. at
once, increase thie tax to 9 raUla, "Sv

would be relieved to tho extent of 200,.OOO.ao^uftlly.

Last Sunday,' the l$th instant, the,03
Baptists of Abbeville were orgftnizedin- LI
to'a Church, to be Called thd Abbeville Iso
1 i
Baptisl Church. After the conclusion j
of the morning services, invitation hav-l
ing been previously given to those inter-' ua
cst-ed to remain, such members of regu-j
lar Baptist Churehcs as were provided !m
with letters of dismission from their res- a
pecttve churches presented the same, j \\
which were read aloud by Rev. C. II. |
Toy, who conducted the services. It be- j
ing apparent that these persons were in j *
food standing, and regularly dismissed.' ^
and on the oppression of their desire to!
unite themselves into a body for -the scr- i |(
vice of God, taking the Holy Scriptures j .5
as their rule of faith and practice, they j
were constituted a cht:rch with the/"
above name. The Lords Supper wasj
then partaken of, and theWrviecs con- 1
eluded. The churcli will worship n-gu- c,)
larly in the Female Academy. **
