The report of this office further s< shows a marked improvewent in tho ti mauagement of the public school fund In October, 1877, the amount of y claims outstanding against the school T fund of the several Counties was $209,840.66. At that time orders on t< the school fund rarely brought in the ri market more than twenty-five cents on the dollar, and often could not be p sold at any price. Now they are paid u in full each year by the County o Treasurers, while' the past indebted ness of,maay of the Counties has bece ( entirely "liquidated. Reports frow il some' -of the Coanties have not yet a been received, . but_ a,statewent show- I ing the exact condition of the in- s wiebt will "be submitted to you q during the session. By the end of d another year, the school fund of all t of the Counties, except three or four, t will be free of debt. The Superintendent makes the ful- I lQwing recommendation for the con- c sideration of the General Assembly 1.. That an act be passed prescrib- e ing the manner in which average ! attendance ~shall be estimated, and ] regulating the mode of apportioning a the schol fund. t 2.. That an appropriation be made y in aid of normal institutes from the i same f6id from which the expenses u were defrayed last year. 3. That authority be granted to t the faculties of State Normal Insti tdtes to issue certificates of qualifica tion aad diplomas to teachers in pub lie schools These recommendations, com ing s from the source they do, are entitled to, an -'no ddubt will receive, your a careful consideration. The, fund donated by the United t States government for the establish- e ment in the States of agricultural and mechanical schools is in this State ap popriated under the direction of the - trustees of the South Carolina Uni versity 'to the maintenance of two schools. The one at Orangeburg, in connectioa with the Claflin College, . _been established for some years, an dis accomplishing a valuable work. It~is confined to the colored youth of the State, and during the past yeat t 390pupils received not only the tech. t nicar instruction implied in the name of thestliool, but also the advantages s of a coirse- in some of the higher 1 branches of ' eduQation. The school c for the white ydiuth at Columbia has P been more'recently established, and c liasiet 'tneached the full measure of its use'fulness. It has opened the d scola~af6r with 59 students in at- C tendance;, and' wil), I trust, soon ob- r tain a les'ding position among the ed utiobatinfstitutions of the State. basWMlitki-y Academy at Char. leston has been suspended in its op- r eration since the' late civil war. Tids~his'bee'n due to the fact that the S biiOdiug.known as the Citadel, in 0 hich' it liad its seat, has been, since r the ekoe of the war, in possession of the i UTifted States" authorities, and has a been usedb th&nuntil recently as a d military post." It is understood that P~ theidgeneral govei'nment is now pre- c paiad to' restore'- it t the custody of t the 'State. '2f is desirable that this i property be:recovered and.again de. t4 votd toil erposes of higher edu cuti/mi, 'n the facilities for which a dde needs'are great.er than the sources t df 6tij . A Enmeasure will probably i~ be iibntid i& yon'at this session to t sikjlish this pn@pose;i and you will S pernit we to say 'that in my judg. ~ ment, it is inosi pricticable to reopen this~iiefido'ind it aliould be done. . ..GE41ImtALT LEGISLATION. .g -At"ayour- last session commissions c were created 'to inquire and report to c you at'this session upon such amend meuts! asu wers advisable to the rail- o road laws of the State, the election o ls,the- militia laws, the tax laws, p and also upon. amendments to the Con-. s4 'siitution. These- 'commissions have i< had' the subjects committed to them a under considerationi, anud will no doubt r: report exhaustively upon them. F There isg another law, however, the 'a contitlance of which has elicited o muetr 'discussion, and will no doubt ~i recei've' our -attention. I allude to t< what is known as the lien law. It h had its origin immediately after the' p late civil wai-, when the farmers of it the State were bereft of live stock, im'plenents a'nd supplies with which ii to"'renew' their planting operations. Ii In addition to this they were gene- 'I rally-encumbered with debt, the lien J of which would attach to any crops t< they' migbt' produce, with such credit h as they could obtain for the necessary n means of doing so. It was proposed n by she law then enacted and now un p der consideration to provide that a b prior lien might be created to protect d him who ad'vanced supplies for the ci making of the crop. Its object was ti was to provide against debts existing l: at the time of its passage, the enforce- u ment of which upon the products of b the farm would have destroyed the d credit w*ithout which the plough f< would' have been idle in the furrow. n It was-to enable a community of prac- p tical bankrupts'(for the land, their ii only property, bad then no saleable f< value,) to' commence the struggle of t] life anew. This object was long since tl accom-plshed.: Those pre-existing 'I debtsj the- pressure of which was the h result of the devastation of war, have ai either been paid or adjusted, or the un- tu fortunate debtor, succumbing to the inevitable, has fallen from the ranks d of business life. But the law has a been continued and now operates I. chiefly as an increased facility in 8 obtaining credit for farming opera- c] tions, the security it affords the len- b der, and sumniary- methods it employs F frtecleto ofisdbb eigr fthe proinentio fue hisdbt hasn d bencle1h ormnscptlh thepoit fetrecredit alhaeoert&s ofd comrillf,ecettoeo h been called the poor man's capital b: Without eredit all the operations.of ic ,rious damage to the best interests of o ie State. The State Aaricultural ociety has resolved to memorialize I >ur honorable body upon the subject. : he Commissioner of Agrieulture, as 1 his duty, will bring the matter fully a your attention. The Board of Ag culture has formally declined to ex ress an opinion on the subject, and , ablic opinion, as indicated in the tterances of the press, is divided up. a the raerits of the question. I do ot propose to suggest a decision. owing directly from the people, and istructed in their wishes and their eeds, you are better qualified than am to reach a satisfactory conclu on. But there is one phase of the nestion upon -which I deem it my uty to express the convictions I en. irtain. It has boen in some quar ers suggested to enact a repeal of ie law to take effect another year. t seems to me that this will be in urring all the evils of repealing the Lw without securing one of of its ben fits. Such action by this Legislature ill take effect when a newly elected ,egislature is in existence, and can a ly be operative by the sanction of I be last, while such legislation on our part will be provocative of more ajurious agitation than a direct and nqualified repeal. I therefore can ot but think this prospective legisla ion unwise. PARDONS AND COMMUTATIONS. I have deemed it proper to exercise E xecutive clemency in twenty seven E ases during the past year. Of these, ixteen were full pardons, and eleven rere commutations of sentence. In ecordance with the provision of the onstitution, I will, at an early day, t ransmit to you a full statement of ach case. JOHNSON HAGOOD, Governor. Washington Letter. " From our Regular Correspondent. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 24, 1881. The crowds in attendance upon the -uiteau trial have been even greater be second week than they were the rst. People of all classes pack them elves into the Criminal Court room 1 ke sardines in a box, and those who annot get in jam the entrances and assage ways. Men, women and hildren, many with their lunch askets, and some with lorgoettes, aily erowd together in irretrievablei onfusion. Ostrich feathers, beads, ibbons, laces, and other ornaments of ~male apparel are damaged and torn i the scramble, but their owners are ot dismayed or discouraged. The i eserved -space within the bar is so lied with ladies and prominent per. ans, including several representatives four clergy, that there is scarcely >om for the lawyers who wish to hear e case. Mrs. Blaine was a solemn ( od sorrowful spectator two or three j ays. Doubtless the antics of the risoner have been the cause of ex-. iting greater interest in and attention > the case: Whether or not he is asane is a matter to be judicially de rmined, and there is some difference f opinion among those who hare wit essed the proceedings thus far ; but e prevailing belief is that he is act iga part It seems hardly possible ( iat a court will adjudge a man in- t ine enough to be irresponsible who ~ as shown so much method and such I ear appreciation of the consequen es of his acts From the day he red the shot he has stood in constant C ~ar of publie vengeance. Yet con- e ~it and insolence are his predomiliant baracteristics. Over fifty members of the House f Represenistives, and quite a number ~ F Senators, are already here making reparations for the Congressional ~ssion, and looking after such polit- - al interests as they happen to have stake-especially the officers in their C ~spective States and districts. The C resident is at work on his message, c hich, it is understood,is to be a short i ae. There is some question whether will be put in type before it is sent. >Congress or not. Mr. Arthur says 1 e don't want any confounded news aper correspondent to steal it and have g published before it is delivered.r ~early all the Department reports are , and most of them have been out ned in the telegraphic dispatches. he repot of Postmaster General i ames is in some respects a very in- j ~resting document. It shows, in ireview for anumber of years, how uch a Department of the Govern ent can stand and not go all to eces. The Post Office Department c as been the victim of public plun- c Brers ever since public plundering be ime a popular industry in this coun -y, but it has steadily gone on, near- C ralways keeping up with the de ands of the people and promising tter for the future. Mr. James es not offer any radical suggestions r the improvement of the Depart- C ent; he adopts some schemes of his & redecessors racerning postal savings 2 stitutions, the reduction of money a es, and adds a suggestion of his own iat salaries of postmasters in most of n larger cities shall be increased. C he retiring head of the Department E as clearly not dealt with his subject t he would have done with a cer- b nty of remaining in the Cabinet. There is a chance for the Presi- c at to look after some of our diplo- ? ats abroad.

The Annual Report of the Direc ors and of the Superintendent of he Penitentiary for the fiscal year :nding October 31, 1881, was pre ented to the Governor last week. rom a copy of the report, for vhich we are indebted to Superin endent Lipscomb, it appears that his institution of the State, which vas formerly one of the most ex )ensive and most troublesome, is low being managed with commend ible economy and in a manner ighly satisfactory. The report shows that last year's 6ppropriation of $23,600 has not >een needed, and every dollar of it -emains in bank to the credit of the 3tate. The report further shows hat the cash on hand from the pro ;eeds of the Penitentiary amounts 0 $21,199.99, beside scrip of the savannah Valley Railroad for con ict hire to the amount of $3,380.00. Nork has been done on the prison vall and other improvements made n the prison to the value of $2,000. rhe report further says that if the fficers be allowed to use the earn ngs as they have done for the, past wo years they will need no legisla lye appropriation for the coming rear except for the payment of offi ~ers' salaries. There were upon the prison rolls )ctober 31st 690 convicts, distribu ed as folPows: R. S. Pringle, Sum aerville, (Phosphate works) 120, at 110 each per month ; Cahill & Wise, Den Mile Hill, (Phosphate works) 2, at $12.50 per month ; Augusta a Knoxville R. R. 46, at $7 per aonth for '21, and $12.50 per month or 25; the State's farms, near olumbia, 157. Witnin the Peni entiary A. C. Dibert is working 86, .t 50 cents each per day, in the canufacture of shoes. The report shows that there is [e from contractors on account of scaped convicts $25,000 ; the laims against these contractors ave been placed in the hands of n attorney for enforcement. The Directors and Superinten* ent make the following recoinmen ations : 1st. That the State pur hase the land immediately in front f the Penitentiary for the purpose f erecting upon it suitable build ags for the residence of the Super atendent and other officers of the astitution ; 2nd. That provision be 2ade for employing a regular sur eon for the Penitentiary at a sala y of 81.000. The prison discipline has been trict but kind, and the inmates ave enjoyed remarkably good ealth, as is fully proved by the re ort of the Surgeon, Dr'. D. S. ~ope. The report is a very satisfactory ne in every particular ; and the ficers d'eserve much credit for the 2anner in which they have dis harged their duties. Experience has shown that it is ot a good plan to employ convicts n farm work. The State of Geor ia has just sold its convict farm of ,900 acres for $29,000, and has ecided not to use or hire any more onvicts for farm labor. Col. Lips omb, the Superintendent of the ,outh Carolina Penitentiary, thinks at convicts should no longer be ired out for farm labor, and re >mmends that the contract with [r. Seegers for viorking a large lantation near Columbia be termi ated, with Mr. Seegers' consent, us year. Convicts can be hired at to much better advantage on tilroads and in phosphate works. A bill was introduced in the ouse a few days ago to so mend the liquor law as to allow ae manufacture and sale of domes The Election of Judges and Other Officers, The Legislature met in joint ses sion Tuesday to elect five Circuit Judges for four years. Judge B. C. Pressly, of the 1st Circuit, Judge J. H. Hudson, of the 4th, Judge W. H. Wallace, of the 7th, and Judge J. S. Cothran, of the 8th, were re elected without opposition. The nominees from the 6th Circuit were Senator I. D. Witherspoon, of York, and Representative J. J. Hemphill, of Chester. Witherspoon received 84 votes, Hemphill 64-Wither spoon elected. Judge Mackey was! not a candidate for re-election. The nominees from the 2nd Circuit were Judge A. P. Aldrich, of Barn well, and Senator J. W. Moore, of Hampton. Aldrich received 91, Moore 54-Aldrich elected. Judge Sam'l McGowan. of Abbe ville. was re elected Associate Jus tice of the Supreme Court for the next six years without opposition. Col. A. P Butler, of Aiken, was re elected Commissioner of Agricul ture without opposition. Repre sentatives W. D. Johnson, of Ma rion, and A. S. J. Perry, of Charles ton, were elected members of the Board of Agriculture. Senators Bradley, of Pickens, and McCall. of Marlboro', were elected Directors of the Penitentia ry. James F. Izlar, of Orangeburg, and F. W. McMaster. of Columbia, were elected Trustees of the S. C. University. The Lien Law Will be the subject of much dis cussion in the Legislature. There will be a st;ong effort made to re peal the law, and the fact that the Governor, himself a prominent and experienced planter, favors the re peal will have considerable weight. It does not appear probable at this time, however, that the law will be repealed. The repeal of the law now would be a great hardship to many. This much can be done, and should be done : Allow a lien only for corn and bacon-the only supplies that are absolutely neces sary for running a farm. The La gis lature might define "agricultural supplies" to be corn and bacon. If this were done it would leave no room for doubt, and would take away from the law what its oppo nents claim to be-its greatest evil, viz., the inducement to the farmer to run too deeply into debt. Let the law continue with this legisla tive ,restriction another year ; at the end of that time the whole farming interests will be prepared for its repeal. Yesterday's Columbia Register says: "Mr. Geo. Johnstone, of Newberry, made a very spirited and sensible speech yesterday in the House against hasty legislation." Mr. Johinstone certainly had a very good and appropriate subject. Hasty legislation cannot but be very imperfect, and time saved by such means is no economy. Take your time, gentlemen, and do your work deliberately ; otherwise you will not do it well. Judge Mackey claims that his speech at Georgetown was not cor rectly reported by the Times. He says that he did not charge the whites with injustice in refusing the negroes a larger representation in the Legislature ; but that he did advise the whites and blacks to Icome to some sort of compromise and understanding which would put a stop to the race prejudices that now exist and that cause so much trouble at every election. The Committee on Elections has submitted a very elaborate bill to the Legislature upon the election laws of the State. One of its fea tures is that it r-equires every voter to register in his own precinct, and requires of him a fee of fifty cents. to pay the expenses of the registra tion office. If the voter removes from one precinct to another he can get a certificate of registration for twenty-five cents, and can file it in the precinct into which he moves. There is an important amend ment before the Legislature on the insolvent debtor's act. The amend ment proposes to take away from the insolvent debtor the right to give preference among his creditors. If adopted this would put the in solvent debtor in the condition of an involuntary bankrupt. This is the third week of Gui teau's trial. The trial has no inter est beyond the fact that the defend ant is the assassin of a President.I Public sentiment seems to have ~ftl~d into the belief that he is State News. Theresidence of Dr. P. F. Stokes, of Blackville, was burned Sunday. The residence of Mr. Geo. H McMastor, of Winnsboro', was burned Saturday night.
