The following ia the Inaugural Address of Gov. Moses, delivered before the Leg islature Tuesday of last week : FeUow-Citizeixs of the Senate and House of Representatives: You have entered upon the sixth ses sion of the General Assembly since the establishment of free government in the, State of Sooth Carolina.^ ?F ' ' W .' It should be with ns a source of pro found gratitude "to Diviso.Providence that you jaoet -under ?dsp?ce?- thal-" betoken brighter and better days for the, "whole people of the State, whose sworn, repre sentatives you are. The earth has re warded the labors. of oar husbandmen with abundant fruits, while all. the varied forms and. arts of industry are being prosr_ ecuted with hopeful energy amid appar ently universal peace and order, under our happy system of government, which guar antees and maintains liberty regulated by law. i j We have been mercifully exempt from the great and disastrous fires which, during the past yeir,- have ??iept ".over" so inany ; portions of our cornnr?ri country, coihrum-' mg to ashes the garnered wealth of years, and reducing the rich and the poor to the same level of indigent suffering. Let us endeavor, fellowrcitizens, tp de serve these signal blessings by a I faithful and conscientious discharge of all the im portant trusts reposed in us by the people. In ent?rine; upon the duties of the high office with which I have been vested by the generous favor of my iiellow-citizens, my deep senae of gratituae?to them for the honor conferred; by, th>ir free suffrages is associated wi th'a pammi conviction of the grave responsibility which has been impos ed upon me by their choice. I will endeavor to discharge my whole duty to the whole people of the State. To thin encH ravol ? fie considerate j udgment. and active coJ-B_p'eT?tion nf "every member of the General Assembly, whatever may be his party creed, and the. open, aid and assistance of every good citizen in the commonwealth of South Carolina. "While I shall not forget that, as a can didate I represented m my person the Union Republican party,? whose beneficent principles are expressed ?h the doctrine of equal rights'and exact justice to all men, ?jp incorporated in the fundamental law of the State and nation ; and while under my and all crrcjrnstances my duty of de voticu and fidelity to my party shall be ever present to my mind, I trust that I nay always remember that, as thc Chief Magistrate of the State, I represent all ;he people of South Carolina, and that :he lines which1 lihSit my zeal Tor' their*in- ' terests must, in; honor, be co-extensive with her boundaries. Standing here to day in the august presence of the assembled law-makers of the State, and of this large multitude, ivitn thc oath .of office in all its solemn sanctity fresh upon'-my ttp*? ? pledge my best efforts to insure that during my ad ministr?t ion " the Commonwealth" shall iuffer ao.detriment." - Gentlemen of. the Senate and House of Represen tau ves1, let us rededicate our selves, lo the.great work and -.duty ef the boor. Let us prove to the world, by thc enactment of just laws and their impartial idministrat'JU, that the highest private liberty here is consonant with the greatest public good. Our people are happy in the possession af a bountiful soil, and a. genial clima tp. Here the "varied I products- of temperate md tropic zones grow side by side, while J ur streams are ; Aashmg; ju; the sunlight ot a perpetual spring. The imperial plant, whose fleecy fibres enter into the raiment ' civili uni man throughout thc globe, and .?hose production presses heavily upon the very balance wheel* of the commercial exchanges of the world, b*e herc its native home ?ad most luxuriant groy/th. Yet the face of the emigrant is turned &;yay from our State, and capital, which sets labor in motion and creates the manufac tures which contributes to the comfort md the elevation of man, shrinks back from us, as if the seals of pestilence were broken, and its vials emptied out upon this beautiful land of ours. Hence, near ly three-fourths of our vast territorial area, embracing not less than thirty-six thou sand square miles, lie fallow to-day. This disastrous result is largely due to ?he ?ll ?piritof political intolerance, which has been manifested during the past fi v* years, by tie fortffay governing class in South Carolina, -yko.sfeli, in great part, represent the ed^catad mtelfigenos and landed property of the State. That intolerance, which was at first ?ic- ! cessfully directed to destroy the financial credit of the State Government, both at home and abroad, also proscribed every ttative and adouted citizen who openly de clared himself in accord with the political sentiment* whjcb were entertained by thc; vuti majority hf the'people of the' Unit?d Stated, who nav*, by the recent national campaign, fnruiftlwf ? inost^ memorable proof of tl.

Thcee barbarous acts of a minority of the minor party in the State continued with varying inten.flty for a long anddark period of,' more thau three years. The Government of the State having made ineffectual attemp? to check them, both by'earnest appeals to the reason and hu inanity of those' who were regarfcd'A* the political leaders and exponents of tisa .des perate men engaged in.thehi, and by its available constabulary force, finally ap pealed to-the national authority for pro-, tection to* American citizens from lawless violence within the limits of the State. That appel, aller long delay incident to procuring the necessary legislation by the Congress of the. United Stales, was ef fectually reaponded'to. through the Fede ral Courte, sustained by the military ann of the Government. . As the result ofthat interven toon, (af, which our most profound gratitude is due 3 to the Government of the Unite-! States, many hundreds of tte persons engaged in those lawless undertakings, sd abhorrent to our free institutions and to. the civili- j zation of .the age, have.been arrested ' and I imprisoned, under sentence, while many more charged with having been engaged in them have, thVough ? sense of fear or guilt, fled beyond the borders of our State. Turning away from the recollection, of thoae scenes which were so .utterly revolt ing to all true lovers of liberty, I am hap py io .announce (that peace and good order now prevail every where within the State, which seem to be accompanied .by .a re learning sense of justice, and by a broader spirit ot toleration in the hi therto ruling eiassee; which furnish a better guarantee for their continuance thajj the mere tem porary presence of the ?word or bftj'pft?t can ever give among a free people. The Grand Juries of ?everal counties in the upper part of the Stale, which were the ebief scenes of the armed violence aimed at the vested rights of 'American citizens, have recently expressed a becoming con trition, and apparently sincere regret and sorrow, that* this violence should have been .permitted to manifest.itaelf, unchecked by tho'local au th oritiea ir. their several coun ties, and aolismniy pied g?ihoaa citizens who have heretofore been presumed t given a quiescent sanction to these ties, that henceforth they will J exert themselves to. maintain law i der, and will protect/by force of a necessary, any citizen whose politics and personal privileges may be assi As Governor of thiB State, and political and personal friend of of those who have beea stricken do this armed violence, and whose nw I wear within my heart of hearts, come this pledg?'to which J .Eave n and earnestly trustthat it will be s; and constantly ratified by the cone '?those in whose'benah* it hoi been' gi The ?Grand Juries haye ;accom these gratifying assurances by the ment of a large nnmber.of persons, c able with having been actors in th?, holy and criminal combinations. I be*n informed by members of youri tive Houses, who have lived in th turbed-portions of South Carolina Hi i 5 happy change,'in the section n to, is to some extent due to the fi action of the Judge of the Sixth C Fer this he deserves, and should r< the thanks of our people. ? Let ns in^ulge^?''not^togetha wkrranted nope4nav<the-dawft of art er future has broken upon South Cai and that the passions which have so vexed her people with internecine .and the hates which sprung from doi war, have sp?Bt;ttoir;Iast reef ripples in her borders. While ths exhibitio indulgence of such passions and might sometimes enable a political to win, by them the people of the must always lose. L I therefore appeal to tho' men of ray .r?ce, in'Soath^Uaroliba, in the c6n anter?st of 'lier whola people, tb themselves abreast with the ?dvai civilization of the age, and cultivate bier spirit of toleration, worthy of th oient renown of the State. Garner u you chooser-all that you may justly i honorable in the 'mouldering traditio our people, and walk with revere tread-near the graves/of 1he brave devoted men who, however mistaken may have been, died willingly in de: of what they believed to be right, deal more iustly and kindly with our foster-brothers of the State. They your fellow-citizens, by the Constitt and laws of our common country, your destiny is bound up with theirs good or evil-in all coming time, above that spirit of sectionalism w has so long been the dark stain on escutcheon of our m?st distingu?; statesmen, and which marred the n character and narrowed the intellec range of the great Virginia Senatoi whom Whittier, the. tfreat- ?? Peet of \ erty," has said, with kindly seventy : " Too honest or too proud to feign A love he never cherished, Beyond Virginia's border line His patriotism perished. While others hailed in distant skie: ? v- Our eagle's dusky pinion, 'Ho only saw our mountain bird Stoop o'er the Old Dominion." Let the American citizen feel where may haye been the place of his bi when be enters within our boundariei will find with.us a safe-home and hosp ble welcomei Thus will our brethren fi the great States of the North be encc agecf to dwell among us. The men wh skilled industry and cxhaustless ener? have builded mighty cities in the rem wilderness will level our forests and place them with blooming harvest fie) and cover the spots now marked by sad ruins of disastrous war with the during inqnuments of their peaceful t civilizing arts. The magnificent and i failing water power of our State, whicl now running to waste, will then be rai. ly utilized, to put in motion thousand* busy spindles and looms, in full view fields that are whitened by the plant tl supplies the material for the fabric th weave. The hardy yeomanly of Europe who seek abroad the liberty and prospe ty denied them at home-will also bc wc to our shores, and will swell the volume our industrial wealth. I would ahif appea] ?o jtbos,e p.eople the State, who werft formerly top ruhv class, to cultivate and cherish a loyal a devoted sentiment to the great gover ment of which we form a part, and to i vere and worship the flag which represer it-a government whose mighty arm ready to be uplifted in your defence, honre and abroad, on land and sea-a fli which you can no longer call thc ensign a power hostile to you.

I ajhade to the'death of the Hon. Horace Grce'.ey. wjjjcll occurred on the evening of the'20th. fclthnp, and which may be considered as a nation^ /wlamjly, . History is but the record of' the liyes and deeds of the few men who have been either the benefactors or the' scourges of their race. This man was in his sphere illustrious-above all his compeers in the 'service rendered by him to the cause of human rights, during the past quarter of a century. Standing at the head of a great journal, whose paces were dissemi nated as widely as the English 'language itself, be did more than any of his con temporaries to mould the opipioRB of tho representative men of his g?n?ration, and to.estabh'sh and .vind?cate the beneficent system of free government now' incor porated into the organic law of this na wn, Springing from the toiling millions 6f Ihepeeple, ne never forgot his origin, but was always, amid his well deserved weajth and eminence, the outspoken champion of ! the poor and the oppressed, and of tliB rights of labor. No. man was more un charitable iii stench than he, and never was man more charitable in deed, pos sessed of a hurdy and rugged bonesiy ' which the breath of slander dared not as aail, even in tho . fierce heat of a political canvass oustinguM?ed ana maligin personalities, hjaMver, where prin ciple (aa he saw it) waiH"|nvoived, sacrific ed thc right to tho exjji?jent, but always preferred, in rnaintaim?glhis convictions, rather to break than to.bend.

Iiis administration as Qt Vernor of South Carolina is before the cod a try, and by the country it will be judged.!? "Whatever that judgment may be, I but ?xpress the opin ion of those who know '1[rai best, when I say that he has endeavored to discharge the duties of his high o|Hfe in the inter est of the party that elected him and for lh?* welfare of the peopl^wthe State. J With a solemn apprecjiuaon of the grave reaponsibihvty imposedHSoh me in the performance bf my down and in the ear-! nest hope that the impojff?nt matters in volved in the situation''before us n bring about the utmost oMicert and unan imity of action, I commend your d?lib?ra tions' to the merciful superin tendence of j that Almighty Power wljBh presides over States and nations. j Synopsis of Pr^s?ent erante It commences with a rc-cognit ion of the blessings which the Ameijean people have enjoyed within the past;5|ar, the only ex ception being the great fl)? in Boston. It refers to the Geneva arbitration and its satisfactory results, whiih left the two Governments of Amenait and England without a shadow on theil friendly rela tions, which it is sincajfey hoped may forever remain e<uiaUyi|uiid^ '?It recommends the immediate creation of a board of commissioners tit' decide on the amounts to be paid to < laihiants. It com pliments Mr. Adams aad'Mr. Bancroft for their eminent services in the matter of the Geneva and the San Juan arbitrations; thc decision in the latter caso leaving the United States, for the firs'r time, without any question as to disputed boundaries. In regard to the fisnerifik?and to our re lations with the British;?North American provinces, the President .s>ys that he has received notice that theflmperial Parlia ment and the Dominion*<loverhment had passed laws tocarry thetprovisions of the treatv of Washington into operation, and he therefore recommend.legislation by Congress in the same direction. He speaks of the friendly . relations of the United States with all the governments of Eu rope. He refers to the Vienna interna tional exposition, teconimends the fitting up of two national Fisaala to convey the goods of exhibitors to Trieste, and sug gests that a proposition bo mado to have the next great exposition ia this country, in 1870, at the time of the centennial cele bration in Philadelphia. ' He refers to ?he disturbed condition of C ula, and says that no advance towards pacification in that island has been made. While the m.*ur recliou had gainediio advantages and ex hibited no more of the c-lments of power or prospective success th?.n a -year ago, neither had Spain succeeded in repressing the insurrection. The parties to tue strife were standiug in thc same attitude as for a long time past. The continuation of slayery ja that island he regards as among the strongest oauv?a of the ' continuance of the strife: and he thinks th it the abolition of slavery and the institution of other re forms there, could not fail to advance the restoration of peace and order. It was greatly to be hoped that tho present liberal Government of Spain will voluntarily adopt that view. Referring to our relations with China and Japan, the President recommends pro? visions for maintaining four American youths in each of those countries, as part of the diplomatic family of ministers. He gives details pf the revenue received in the past year, and of thc reduction to thc Wnonnt 0f over $100,000,000 of the pub he'debi. 'Hfi iiSPj3&?f! & doubt whether any further reduction in bu'?i?ou \* prati cable for the present, and bo recommends that no moro legislation bo had on that subject, except to correct errors of omis sion or commission in the present. laws, until sufficient time shall have elapsed to prove that it can be clone, and st.ll leave sufficient revenue to meet current expen se?, pay interest on the public debt, and provide for the sinking fund. He suggests, also, that the currency shall be, as ?oon as ^Maible, brought to a par with gold. He uji thai yariqns enterprises will be brought to the attention'bf Dongres3 for the cheapening of transportation of pro duce from'the West to the Atlantic sea coast, and suggests that steps should be taken to gain all available information to insure equitable and judicious legislation. In this connection, he refeni favorably to the proposed route to connecttne Mississip pi Valley with the Atlantic at Charleston hwd jijayaunah,. by way of the Ohio and. Tenne'?iaa Rilera : also, to the proposed extension of the Kanawiia and James Riv-' er Canal and the Chesapeake and .Ohio Canal, and to the proposed canal around Niagara Fails. He says that there should be an almost continuous system of land locked navigation from Maine to the Gulf of j^exicorrnature having provided the greater part of the obstaUe? to be overcome being within the aklH of engi neers. He calls attention to the .Weakness of the American navy, and endorses the recommendation of the Secretary of the Navy in that respect. He recommends subsidies for steamship lines to Brazil and and between San Francisco, New Zealand andAustraba. Also, increase of the sala ries of heads of bureaus. He favors the abolition of the franking priyilpf?, and recommends.ft modificatipn of ^existing*eyil?. . ft? ?lao fex?ni meri?s the adoption by Congress of the best method Of acquiring Mle bj all tele graphic linea now m. opereiion, and con necting that service witiV we ptistal ser vice. It is not probable that the subject can receive proper considcatioi at' thia Bession, but be thinks the movement might be initiated, so that future action may be had, fair to the Government and tho private parties concerned, He palin attentiPR fa a}ariajng jailing off in the American parrying trade, and says that a yearly expenditure of ^,000,000 for the next five years to restore that trade, would bo a profitaole investment. Pveferring to tho K*4 Jvlii* Waitera, the president says ; Detailed statements of the disburse ments tbrpug|i the department of justice will be furnished by the retort of the at. torney-general, and, though iheae have been iomewhat . Increased by the 'recent acts of Congress, o enforce tie rights of citizens of the United States to vote in the several States of the Union, and to enforce the provisions of the fourteenth amenumeni io wie uousuiuiion 01 im United States and the enactment th ere.o I cannot. "question the salutary effect o those enactments. Reckless and lawlesi men, I regret to say, have associated them selves together, in some localities, to de prive other citizens of those rights g uar anteed to them by the Constitution of th< United States, and have committed deed; of blood and violence, but the prosecutior and punishment of many of those person: have tended greatly to the repreaaion o; such disordera. I do not doubt, that ? great many of the people in all parts ol the. country favor the full enjoyment by all classes of persons of those rights tc which they are entitled under the consti tution and laws, and I invoke the aid and influence of all good citizens to "prevent those organizations, whose.objects are, by unlawful means, to interfere with these rights. I look with confidence" to the time, not far distant, when ' the obvious advantages of good order and peace' will induce an abandonment of all combina tions prohibited by the acts referred to, and when it will be unnecessary to carry prosecutions on-account of lawless doings of such combinations. Applications have been made to me to pardon persons con victed of a violation .of such acts, upon the ground that clemency, in such cases, would tend to tranqudiz'e the public mind. To test the virtue, of that. policy, I am disposed, as far as my sense of justice will permit, to give those applications a favor able consideration, but any action thereon is not to be construid as indicating any change in my. determination to enforce, with vigor, such acts, so long as the, con spiracies and...combinations therein named disturb the peace of the country. It is much to be regretted, and is regretted by no one more than myself, that a necessity baa ever existed to execute the enforce ment act. None can desire more than I1 that the necessity of applying it may' never again be demanded. He makes suggestions in regard to the Indians, that they, shall all be confined to the territory South ? of Kansas, and that farms bc secured to them in fee and and in severalty. He recommends that a further census be taken in 1875, but that no reapportion-; mefit of members of Congress oe made' tinder it. In only one of the Territories (Utah j-is the condition of affairs regarded by the President as unsatisfactory, it had seemed to be the policy of the Utah Leg., islatature to evade all responsibility to the Government of the United,States, and even to hold a position hostile to it. He recommends a careful revisipn of the pres ent laws, and the enactment of laws,that will secure peace, the" equality of all citi zen? before the law, ano the ultimate ex tinguishment of polygamy. He recom mends an appropriation to reimburse the city of Washington for work done in front of the public reservations, and for the em bellishment of the public buildings and grounds. He favors aotion to, give great e- eclat and success to the observance of the centennial anniversary of American in dependence. In regard to civil service, he says he will carry out the rules during his term of office, but suggests that tnere should be direct action of Congress to make the system binding on his. succ?s sors, so as to secure to the public service a practical method of obtaining faithtul and efficient officers, and. employees. The reading of the message was completed at 2.50, having occupied one hour and tep minutes. The Treasury report says that necessi ty exists for a new issue of national bank notes. The Secretary exonerates Assis tant Treasurep Hillbouse from neglect of duty in tho stamp division of thu Assi?-, tant Treasurer of New York. The Sec retary again recommends the passage of a bill to amend and consolidate the'nav igation and customs collecting laws of tho United States. As the leading pur suit? of the country aro now stronger than ever befpre, in the possession of ad equate eaj) i tal and a supply of Intelligent laborers, there may be a. moderate re duction, from timo to time, in thc rato of dpties, as the diminishing oxpms.es of Government shall permit, without either alarming capital or injuring labor. Ile says tbe circulation of the banks should bo fixed and limited, and that tho power to chango tho volume of paper in circu lation within the limits established by law should yetnoin "iii tho Treasury Do partaient, A degree of flexibility in the vol unto of currency is essential for two reasons-first, the business of the de partment cannot be transacted properly if a limit is fixed, and the power to raise the circulation above or reduce it below that limit is denied ; secondly, there ls a necessity, every autumn, for moving the crops without delay from tho South and West to the sea board, that they maj- bo on hand for export and consumption as wanted. The problem ls to find a way of increas ing the currency for moving the crops and diniinishingitatouco when that work ls dono. This ls a necessary work, aiid inasmuch as it cannot be confided to \hc banks, the power should bp ^up>?Vl. in < tho Treasury D^aio^c^t. frdicving tliat tai cquntiy ?s not prepared tn sus-, tain tito primly of contraction, tho So?rd* tary consider* tho moans bv which thc value of our curroncy may bo improved. The basis of a policy of improvement must be found in a sturdy refusal to add to the paper circulation, until it hi of thc samo value essentially as coin. This be > ing accepted is th ?j settled purpose of Jtb a Country, there can be no permanent in crease *?f the dlffcrohco Between paper and coin; and an opportunity will bc given for tho iuilitence of natural causes, tending,,upon tho whole, to a batter fi-., nanci lcondition. All legislation limited in its operation to the paper issues of thtf Government, whether Loaring interest or not, and which in its effoots shall, tend to diminish the market value of coin, will bo found, upon analysis, to contain a plan for contrjwlinjr tho volume of pu-' per currency; and all legislation so limi ted, which does not contain auch a plan, will prove ineffectual. Tho Secretary," without proceeding to the discussion of th? general subject of resuming specie payments, thinks all will have been gain ed" that is of value when, the Treasury shall be prepared to pay the demand notes of tue Government in coin, nnd tho banks shall be prepared to pay their notes either in coln or legal tender notes ; and thon our good fortuno will clearly ?ppo?f in this, that our paper currency is not exclusively Qf national bank notes,' nor exclusively of United Staten notos. ? \ . ?? m*m??m ?-; The Mixed School Question at the North.. The N. Y. Tribune says : " It seems to bo decided, at last, that the fourteenth amendment does not pr?vido for every possible conflict of opinion between white1 abd colored people. In considering the education of the children of the two races in the same schools; twp, Northern courts haye recently held that tho ques tion belongs to tho school board for de cision, and not to tho amendment or to tho citizen. Their arguments are that atty classification which preserves sub stantially equal school advantages ls not prohibited by either the State-or Federn^ constitution ; that the citizen cannot d? tate where or by what teacher. h$s cJb.U-. dren shall be tofl?hj \ fwd that '-'equaity of rights;* does nut imply that white and oolored'children shall be educated in the same school any more than lt ? implies the education of both sexes in the same school," _Mii?>?-> lar This is a little repartee which cost a Frenchman at Mulhouse eighteen hours In a Prussian guard house a few days since.
