XEc;TvE DErARTMENT Socw CAroLiNA,
Oc t oher 27, 185,
th te Honorable !he Sendlc and House cf Rep'
rentatives:
GENTLEMEN.: I have the honor of transmitti:ig
to you the report of t: e Comnmision. appointed
by order of the Convention, "tu) propose such
legislation as will be necezsiry and pioper in
-consequence of the nlterationz made in he fun
'damental laws, and- especially to prepare aud
submit a code for the regulation,of !abor and the
-phtection and governineut of the colored popu
lation of the State."
The report embraces "A Lill prelimri.ary to
the kgislation induced by the emanicipation of
.laves;" "A Bkil to establish and regulate, the
domestic relations of persons of color, and t6
anend the law in relat.ion to p.i1pers, varanty
and bast rdy ;" "A Bill to establish Dist-et
Courts:" "a Bill to anared the criminal Ltw.
These bills have been happily- conceived and ad
'mirably prepared as a perfect system of law adap
ted to our new state of aTftirs. I would urge on
the Legislature the immediate consideration of
the code of laws. It is absolutely necessary for
the protection of colored persons. and the en
forcement of their labor. Without it, there will
-be the gratest-oonfusion, idleness and crime at
%4,p beginning of the next year. The farliers awd
.planters wi to know, at once, what they may
depend on in regard to the labor of the c
persons, in pr'paring their plantations ior Te
next year: The peace and quiet and good order
of society imperiously.demvi d imnediate ltgis
laion on thse subjpet.
The mere setting free of the negro, without
jdpro- iag, by proper legislation, for the proce
tid f his rights of person and property, will
not meat the expectations of the Federal a&
thorities,and -they will retain their mili-ary forces
throughout the State for the purpose of affording
this protection to the freedmca and colored per
sons. As soon as we pass properlegislation on
this sutlect, and have our State government fully
.organized, I feer-assured the President will issue
-bis-proclamation, declaring tha: Sorth Carolina
is no longer in rebellion and entitled to her .po- I
iition once more as a member of the Federal
- Union. Then your Senators ane Me.mbers of
Congress cannot, with any show of propriety, be
excluded from their seats.
If you have any doubts about the constitution
ality of your legislatiou, in the absenQe of a con
stitutional Governor, yua may consider and pass
the bill' and let them be presented to the Gov
enor elect, as soon ats he is' imugurated, -or his
approval. A bill to re-organize- the inilitia. is
equally urgent and impor:ant, and might ;ake
the same-course as well as any other legislation
you may see proper to pasa.

9 * GmsEMEN~ : I haft the pleasure of contnuril
cating to you, the very satisfactory repor-t of the
Hon. WmmHenry Trescot, Agent of the S:ate,- at
A Washington, in reference to aba.ndoned lands
and pardons. His mission has been' eminently
successful. He found the Pres-ident aind Gen.
Howard, the head of the Freedmnan's Bureau, dis
A posed to do justice to the proprietors of aban
doned lands, as will be fully seen by his report
* -herewith sent you, It is to be hoped thut this
unfortunate class of onr fellow-citizens will soon
be once more restored to their homnes and pes
5ssson-. , -
On-the subject of pardons, Mr. Trescot found
the fresident kirid and aecommodating. But
great delay must ri-eessatrily attend the issuing
of pardons, where there are so nmany thousands
of applicants. It would be well for owr citizens
to be quiet and bide their time in relation to the
movia.g and action on.their applications. When
there is any urget necessity for the i.gsuing of -a.
* pardon, and it is h:-ought jo. the view, of the
. reiethewill give such appheiat:en pr-ece
matter nad the interest of proprietors of aban
dened 1-nds, it would be well to' continue the
age'ncv for~the present. There are a great many
g esdns arising where it would be a great con
ve-n'ance to the Provisional Governor,. and the
people generally, toeive an agent at W-ashing
-ac', a oresent matters there, to the President,
he-d on~epartmenits, and the offcials of the dil
fere-n b:aus, and give the necessary . iaiferma
~tion-h may be desired.

from the Government of ihe United. States; .and
the parties who have been thas Iespeiled are, in

of preferring charges, and seeking redress ; and
as the conduct of the President of the United

i his juStice and earest desirc to maintain .he

PROJEcTED PALATIAL HOTE.L IN NEW YoRK
The great Central Park Hotel, to be erected by
Hiram Cranston, of Cw York, 'at the corner of
Fifth 'avenue and Fifty-ninth street, will no doubt
eclipse anything of the kind in this or any other
country. The ground will-be broken next S-pring,
and it Is supposed that two or three years wi be
required- for its completion. A pumber of c..pi:
talists are interested in it., and whatever taste
chu devise and mnoney can purchase will be lav
ished opon the new house. It is to be half as
large again and thrice as Vegant as the Fifth
Avenue~, is to be built of white marble, and to
contain over five hundred rooms, all of which
are to b.e fnrnished on a sty e oT magnificence
hitherto unksiown even in this extravagant coun
try.
-A number of modern improvemenits are, to be
intioduced, among them pi-ivate breakfatst and
dining rooms, suits of apartments f'or families,
where they can live with entire -privacy ; baths
of the Oriental and Roman sort, where I.uxurs is
to be exhauts:edin designs arid -dppiances. In
addtoa to this, the guests are to be favored
with hot-houses, fountains an-d a delightful gar
den in the ceintre of the hotel,which if half that is
pioised be carricd out, will be 'splendid and
e.egaiat the sameI time, and be 'a miracle o.l
luxury anid art. Of rourse it will be a good in*
.estm'ent. If it were ten timies as large and ex.

Gor. Perry, was, on the first bal!ot, elected U.
S. Senafor for the long term, by 109 votes. H1oh.
J. L. Manning was elected ,by a large majority
for the short m Jiulge Dunkin was elected
almost una)0n6easy to fill the office made vacant
by the dpath .f Chief Justice O'Neall. It is be
-ieve.d that Gen. Kershaw will be ntade Chancel

Amono the many pron-ent -measures .to en
gage the body, are the status of t--e races; State
and'individual indebtedness, and the .mode of
payment ; binks, their condition and currency;
police regulations; taxation ; offices, officers,
salaries ; reorganization of4le militia, etc. - As
iGov. Perry assures u: that the U. S. 'forces are
-to be withdrawn vh*en the State is restoWd, we
hope 1he Legislature will consider the militia bill,
forthwith.
The Ifgislaturc will meet in regular session on
the 27th. The vote- for Gcverjno- cannot be
counted until the first we'k of session. Gov
Perry rrs elected to Congress. He must be in
Washington by the first of December. 2It thus
ap.pears that before the -new Governor takes his
seat, dhe present incumbent may vacate it. What
wiil the Presie.it do in that case-appoint an.
other, or declare the State no longer in rebellion
a-nd'leave her to manage her own affairs?

appointed time, and both Houses organgd the
first dar. In 'the House Mr. Aldrich, who had
been speaker before, was elected to thatsoffice
swithont opposition, and Mr. Shength. old Clerk,
was re- elected. Inthe Senate Mr. Moses was
elected PrmSident pro tern, and MIr. Martin,
Clerk.
%lure than-one weakX of the session ha3 pa.ese-I,
without munch being done in the way -of lesisla.
tion. Tfhis has been in consequence of the pen-.
denev of so many important elections-which
is ahlways a clog upon business. The election of
S enators resultcd in the choice of Gov. Perry for
t.he- long , termi, and -Ex-Gov 31an.ning for the
short t rm. The endidates were t.he two per-.
sons alreedy named, Mr. Campbell of .Charles

Go.v. Pickens, and M16 Borge, formerly Represcn

was voted for, Gov. Pickenis having been with-.

t'ol. Dawkins was run by lys friends, eut the for

clear majority,
An elect:on was afterwardi gon.e into for Chief
Justice to fill the vacancy occas-ionied by the
death of Judge O'Neall, which resulted 'in the
-electPon of JuAge Dunkin by an .almost unani
muo's vot". . There are still to elect, ai Jndge of'
thie . ppeal Ccoirt, a Chancellor and two Law
Judges, and if Jedge Werdlaw should be put on
the' Appeal B3ench,as he no dounbt wUil, there
will he andther Circuit Judge to elect, making
one Chanellor and three Law Judges,a fine
field for electioneering, log rolling, &u. .The t-am
pe fteHouse bewever, is not to go into these
eectons n, and-it may be that they will anot
bc gone int. until next sessinn, tho' there is *a
strong feeling in favor of once more putting om'
Courts into full operation, es.pecially the %-rimii
nal side of it. -Crime is rife in tihe. land, and ex
amples must be made for the p.rotection of CN
lives and property of the people.
The subject of gdatest interest now 'in the
Legislatiire is th-e negro code which has been
pr'epared by Judge Wardlaw and Mr. Burt under
a resolution of thie Con ven.tion. Their Report
evinces much thought anid labor, and a just and
comprehensive view of the corAdition of things
resulting from the abolition of slave'ry. But .of
coud there are defects in it which will be the
subject probably of much discussion. It is con
sidered very ingiortant, in view of the early re
storaiion of he State to her former status iii
the Union, t. at there shouldE-,be legislation on
this subject, showing that the State has not .only
acquiesced in the abolition of slavery but that it
has enacted a code of laws for the protection of
civil rights of freedmen, and adapted in al1 re
spects to the new order of th'ngs.. It is believed
%y those who have lately conferred with the pow
ees at Washing ton, that such Legi-lation will be
regard1ed there as a condition precedent to the.
re-ad'mission of he State, and the withdrawal of
the U. S. troops'from our midst. This measure
and the re-organizationl of the militia are consid
ered to be of prim.' importance, an.d hence the
disposition of' the Legislature is to be continued
in session until the work is completed.
* ran ently day the question was sprang,
whe%r the Legislature could enact a law until
the new Governor was inaugurated, in as mdch
as thg new constitution gives him a qualified
veto and requires his signaiture~ to all acts: It
was argued that the Previsional Governor, tho'
recognized aTSsuch, could not in view' of this
Cnstitutional amendmnent, be considered as Gov
ernoy ied appr eve or disapprove Bills. - A com
mttee of both Houses was raised to consider: the
,he question, ;mnd- they reported that in' .heir
opinion, nio Billcould become a law until it was
submtted to the Constitutional Governors. The
House has adopted this Report, and if the Senate
concur, all acts piassed will have to be retained
for there,tion , f the new Governor. The mem
bers elect from your District are all in their seats.
The question of the right of M'r'. Garlington to
his seat gave rise to much a scusi.Soni, aid it was
several days before it was finally decided. He
sent to the House a communicaition on- the sub
ject-st-iting .substand'ally, that- when he was
electe,l he considered that he had not been rd
stored to his office as- Adjutant General by com
petent authorzty. 'Phat Gov. Perry's Proclama
tion, issued sons time ago,~ restored only civil
ofices. Butthat since he had taken his seat an
ordinance of the late Co'mvcnt~o'n had been brought
to his notice which gntitled him to hold his office
for t:P remainder of the term for whic:t lie was
electeA, and-that at the .ime of his election he
%was still in office. lie then submitted the ques
tion whe-her under this state of facts-he was en
titled to hold.his seat. The HIouse -at first de
cided that being stilr Adjutant General he was
ineligible. But i4having been brought to the
notice of the House in the discus'sion on a reso
lution introduced by Mr. DePass, that the section
of the iew Co stitution on the suhject of 'the
qualification of memberS, had materially amended
the section on tiat subject in the fCo~ntitution of
1790, the question was re-corsidered, and It -was
finally decided that Mr. Garlington was entitled
to his seat ulthough he held the office referred
to.
The alteration in the Constitution of 1790 (21
see. act 1,) was thris. The words in that section,
"whie they receive no salaries" refer~ed to all the
offieers naned in that section-including militia
ollieers. But in the Constitution htely ratified
(21 :sec. I act,) these i,ords refer oitly to "justices
of Inferior Col!rts." The only question then
waS, whetther tihe oCme of Adjutant andJnspeitor
'General was an office "in the militia." This
could admit of no doubt, and he,ce the inember
elect was declared entitled to his seat.
The members from Newberry are disposed *Vf
as follows on committees-Mr. Suber, on Fede
rat ReLation. and Pi4vileges and Elections, Mr.
Kcitt, .on Agriculture and Claims, Mr. Garlington
on the Military--his former position9n the Sen
ate. The Senator from Newberry, Mr. Williams,
tis.on the -committee on the Military, and also, on
the committee en Finance and Banks.
The Governor'selection is still in sovie doubt
tho' it is now believed that Mr. Orr is %lected by
four or five hudr votes. In several Districts
the votes for G4W I Hampton were thrown away
by the ianagers Eccause he was no candidate !

an'abundant and mueh needed rahn, and on Sun
day night a heavy and killing frost, killing to
vegetyble' matta-r, and we trust to the mazy
forms of fevers and sickness, :generally which
have prevailed to an unusual extent 'duling the
late summer and fall. We trust that the atmos
phere pure and rarified by the seasonable change
will bring about a -better state of public health.
COTTAGE OnGAN.-Mr. S. Hurd is :Pgent here
for the Cottage Organ-a finished instrument.
Its co-npass, sweetness annd -power transcend any
thing of the kind we have ever yet enjoyed. It
has iept.h and Tichness combined with a soft,
murmuring, dulcet tone, that is perfectly ravish
Iing.= It is-just t'he thing for churches,., societies,
home-circles, ke It is not mych Jarger than a,
melodeon, and being veryeep-renders it a
handsome ornament. Those in need of such- an
instrument, would do well.to.cali on Mr, Hurd.
ISAr.Es-nA.-Moniday was ushered in by a -co}d
snap, frost and .iee, and the'"bone and snw"
who came to town to see what was going on, and
do what had t.o be do brought withl them*redk
noses, cold ears,. and stiff Engrs. Many of threm,
however, we are happy to say, between twelve
and one o'clock. showed gratifying .igns of hav
ing overconme,.the,effects of Mr. Frost, by -emnbra
ciog Major Burley-"orn and .old Mr. Rye, and
gotgthrouigh th-e limber-leg and tu.ist motion in
the sunshine--a most capital exercise by the way.
When last heard (rom they were-doing only 'so.
so-' Others thawed th.-mseive-s out at our office
fir--be clerer fellows who o'xed usnothing ;
while the remainder who were indebted for sub
seription, advertising orjob work, stayed out in
the cold and loafed, just like 'em. Ou the' whole
it was e? remairkable day, and much business was
transacted in all the departmrents outside ; ours
we regret to say was limited to two cash transac
tions, $1,50 in greenback, 15 cents in specie, and
answer-ing~five hundred and forty-nine -miscelki
neous quiesticas, and contributing largely to those
who read cheaply. - Ifurrah for sales-day.
