PROCEEDINGS or ru:: 0 SOUTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE. I SENATE. f Weonksihy, Dec. 10, 1S60, The Seiiato met at 12 in., i>urs>uant to 1 .adjournment. 1 Mr. It by, I'rotn the committee nppoin- j ' tod on the part o( the Senate to count the s ballots for Governor, submitted the follow * nit* report: The coimmtteo appointed ret the part * of the Senate to count (he-ballots for Gov- r enter report that one hundred and sixty < ballots were given?that the lion. It. E. > W. A listen received eighty-eight votes, I i which is n inajoiity ol nil ctst. I, * tore, take this occasion to announce to the -Senate, that the lion. It. E. W. Alls'.oti is ' duly clectod "Governor and Comm.tnuer- ; 1 in Chief of the State of South Carolina, j 1 Whereupon the President addressed the I 1 .Senate as follows : i Sknaious : The announcement which lias just been made through the report of your Committee, raiders it proper that 1 i should lay down the lobe with which you 1 invested me, hikI vacate the chair, j , iii order that you may choose my succcs- j s?>r. I wiil wait your communication else- , w litre. Long service has made mo fatnil-1 inr witli tliiso walls, within which 1 have j ' had the happiness to meet your appro- j 1 hatioii. This additional evidence of youi j 1 favar 1 receive with diffidence, appro j heading that yon may overrate my poor ; abilities. I go, at your bidding, but with such sensations as may l>o suppos- 1 cd Lo move an elder brother, who leaves home to outer (he world, and assume higher duties in a wider sphere. 1 improve the occasion to slate with great , pleasure that although in the <\?uso if the public sen i.e I have often differed I with member-, as men will differ wlm | thiuk for tlwni-eivis, and act ii dopen- j donlly. yet in parting, believe me I bear ! ' with me no trace of ill will to any gentle- 1 man with whom I hare acted here. Son-I ators, farewell. The President then retired, liavir g iirst : rripicste ] t!,o Hon. H. J. Johnson, Sena-1 tor from St. Helena, to take the Chair. 1 The Senate then proceeded to ballot j 1 for President of the Senate; and upon counting the same, it appeared that lion. James Chesnut, Jr., Senator from Kershaw i 1 iiad received a majority of the ballots cast ] ami was declared duly elected. The President elect then took the chair I 1 and addressed the Senate as follows: (inNTI.VMivN OK TUB S OX A TIC To be J ciiosen as the presiding oilieef ol a body like this, may well i>o taken as a mark 1 of confi lonce, to which the in callous . cannot be indifferent. It confers an ofli.-e ? not inoicly of complimentary honor, but j one of high tru-t; and presupposes in the > occupant the possession in soino degree at lc-4st, of those qualities osseati:;] to a sue ' cessful adniiniitnition of its duties. Iin- J partinliiy, a close attention to business, a certain quickness of perception and readiness in decision are among the more prom- . incut qua ities, to t>e exercised in conducting properly tl.e consultations of a deliberative assembly. To tha possession of all those, in any measure of fullness, I am aware I cannot justly pretend. But gen- i tlemen, as the most ample ability might j be thwarted and rendered ineffectual by ! : factious opposition, or by the hindrances j of a listless indifference, bo a very mode-j rate capacity, with zeal, industry and lion- J I est purpose, may be made efficient by the kind co-adjutancy of the individual mem-; bars of such a body. Upon this then I j rest ttie hope ot discharging the duties in- j / cidont to the Chair. Order in the conduct of business ; ur-! j banity in general intercourse; in debate an elevated courtesy, which is by no ! means inconsistent with the warmest i feeling, or the ullcranco of high glowing ' thought in a burning phrase?these con- ? atitute that decorum, tho observance of which has secured to the Senate of this I Slate a fame both ancient and honorable. j d i n preserve this, I am miir?* we aii agree, is ( ( not only due to our own character, but i? ueeowary to the harmonious, wise and !
