Gov. Thompson's InauguraL Hon. Hugh S. Thompson was in augurated Governor the .th instant. His Inaugural Address to the General TAssembly, though carefully prepared and scholarly in language, is devoid of-point or-special interest. He cou gratulates the people of the country upoa the results of the recent elections, as showing a. determination on the part of the people to se'ure a more rigid adherence to the principles upon -which the government is founded. He-speaks in glowing terms of the -abundance of the crops and the pros perity of the country. A large portion of the address is devoted to the matter of. popular education. He puts in a word for tbe South Carolina Univer sity and Citadel Academy. He in sists that there is a pressing demand for the establishment of secondary or graded schools, which should be sup ported by local taxation, and should form a stepping-stone from the common school to the "State institutions and the excellent colleges in operation in different parts of the State." He refers to legislation on the subject of rail roads, and urges' such legislation as will protect the people from unjust discriminations and at the same time not be unjust to the rail roads. He closes in the following:words : "Although I have been elected as the representative of a political party, in the performance of my duty I shall be the Governor of the whole people of the State. I have no friends to reward ; no enemies to punish ; no partisan schemes to advance; no pri vate ends to accomplish. Relying confidently upon your co operation, and invoking as I humbly and fervently do, the guidance of an all wise Providence, I shall to..the utmost of my .ability maintain the honor and promote the welfare of South Carolina." Reunion and Banqueting. It is a significant fact that the students, alumni and gfficers of the S. C. College and S. C. University held a reunion in the House of Representatives yesterday ; that an oration was delivered by one of the alumni, to which the public was invited ; and more significant still that "a banquet of the alumni and special guests'' was spread last night at 9.30, the special guests being, to a very considerable num ber, members of the Legislature. The object of this movement is ap parent: it is a brazen attempt to influence legislation in favor of the so-called University. The poor children of the State, who are furnished with only four months' schooling during the y ear, cannot get up any "reunions" or "banquets" for special "guests," or "orations" in the Hall of the House of Representatives. Two of the new Congressmen have died since their election: Gen. Herron, a democrat, of Louisiana, and M1r. Updegraf a republican, of Mr. Green, the engineer wh planned the Clifton and the Pelze Fsaeories, has made an estimate fc a cotton f'aitory in Newberry.

[lagood to.the Legislature is' an able document, and sets forth the condition of public affairs plainly and minutely. e The Message is too long tb be copied in full into this paper; but we shall attempt to give the substance of it. The .* . e PUBLIC DEBT i s $6,571,825, bearing interest at 6 per cent. The debt was decreased the past year $70,496. The State seou -. rities sell upon the market above par. The current expenses of the State are met by current funds; and there is a balance of $98,017 in the Treasury, sawaiting Legislative disposition. THE REVENUES OF THE STATE s for current expenses are derived from fthe net earnings of the penite.ntiary, the phosphate royalty and taxation. The penitentiary paid into the Treas ury the past year $40,000 ; the phos phate royalty $138.254; the State Tax was 41 wills. The ordinary ex e penses of the State government for the r next year can be met by a levy of i a will; the public debt will -require 3 1-10 mills more, making 3 6.10 mills. But $100,000 will have to be lborrowed to pay interest on the public debt in anticipation of the collection a of taxe.s; and to do this will require e 8 10 of a mill more, making the total tax levy 4 4.10 mills. The Message e recommends that the first annual pay. meat of taxes, in the spring, be made - compulsory, so that there will be money in the Treasury to pay the interest on the public debt as it falls due without ,having to borrow from the banks. THE STATE PENITENTIARY. The 1st of November there were 824 convicts in this institution,'against 0690 at a corresponding period in 1881; - 778 are colored, 46 white. Of the e 824 convicts, 224 were leased upon phosphate work ; 121 were leased upon railroads ; 25. upon, the Seegers farm, 0 and 454 within the walls of the prison. 0 Of those within the urison 97 were at a work with a contrector in making shoes, 120 at work on the Columbia _ canal, and the remainder in various employments. A large amount of a work has~ been done upon the peni - tentiary itself, and also upon the Col t umbia canal. The Superintendent's Report exhibits the following transac tions : A balance in hand at the be ginning of the fiscal year of $21,199; 2 earnings for the year, $94,236; ex r penses proper 'of the penitentiary, I $50$89; per diem and mileage of r Board of Directors,.$1,267; paid on canal, $8,096; paid into State Tress -ury $40,000; and rernining in hands of Superintendent, $14,901. This last amount is in cash and bankable notes given for convict labor. This exhibit contrasts favorably with the management of the peniten tiary in the period from 1868 to 1876. Then, beside the earnings of the con - victs, it required an annual average .. appropriation of $62,800 from the State Treasury to support the institu tion. In the health, general appear ance and judicious discipline of the convicts, a like improvement appears. THE LUNATIC ASYLUM. In .this institution are 550 patients ; 330 white, 220 colored; 525 are supported by the State, 25 by them selves or friends. The Trustees ask for next year an appropriation of $114,194. THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTUEE. A tax of 25 centsaon every ton of commercial fertilizers sold in the State Iis applied to the maintenance of this eal interests of the State, and with the promotion of immigration. Tbe Message says, --I am pemxuaded Lhat Departmeit ; the tax realized the piast year was 823,704. The Departninnt .it charged with the iusptctioa and sapervision of the I %Hle of ferti!izer- ; wi;h the dnti -% of a Fish Cotiui*sioa; with the -u.aage. ment of the State's interest io the phosphate winem ; with, the develop aent of zhe agricultuftil and iechar under its present vigi.rous aud judi 0ious manaeemeut --its- -usefullies, al. ready manifest. will greatly redound to the benefit of the State." The Message urges the Legislature to devise measures to promote itumi gration, as - a matter of paramount importance to the State, socially and industrially. For the STATE AGRICULTURAL .AND MECUAN ICAL SOCIETY the Message recomnerds a continu ance of an annual appropr.atiou of $2.500. The educational institutions of the State are commended to the fosteriug care of the Legislature. A gratifying improvemeot is shown in the ( PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. The amount of schol clhims not standing in October. 1877. was $209, 940 66; these claiwb Lave dearly all been paid, and the school fund is al ajost free of debt. The a.ttendance upon the public schools the past year was 145,974 ; whites 65.399. o-olored 80,575; number of teachers 3,413; white 2,126, colored 1.287 ; u,nher of schoos 3,183; avera-e ,-n,_th of session four months; schot-1 tund $452,965.44. The Meass-e -i-views the condition of the .high,r A-hls suppor6ed by the State. 0ati:& t...l lege, (4aa;yeburg, for colcred-iw ints, had 341 studenth iu atteudatie the past year. The Militwrv Academy at Charleston openod Just Oct bur with 177 students, 68. or twvirous each County, being benetsei -ies whose tuition, board and clothing .are paid for by the State. P.y cadet, rre. charged. $300 a year. 'o maintain the present number of oeneficiaries an appropriation of $20,400 will be t'eed ed-for the ensuing year; and a fur ther "small appropriation" is asked for to purchase 'armi and aceoutre ments." The South Carolina Caviege was recsrra,,ized !at spritsg with ten profe-siS. and-opened with 148 stu dents., Tne students are provided with rooms, the only charge being $10 a year for repairs, and tuition is free -to all whose p*renth. reside irr this State; they pay their own board. .The Trustees will ask for an appropriation of 812,500 for this college-the same as last year. The Deaf and Dumb Asylum, at Cedar Springs, had 62 pupils in attendance. The Superin tendent recommends the establishment of a separate department, with subor dinate teachers, for deaf and dumb colored children. An. appropriation of 812.350 will be .aked for, which includes the expenses of establishing the proposed colored department. THE RAIL ROAD COMMISSIONER reports that his inspections of ttie railroads the past year have been highly satisfactory to him; that many and vast improvemients have been made, and the facilities for the safe and speedy transfer of persons and property have been much increased. Several important new railroads have been projected, and considerable pro gress has been made toward their construction. THE STATE MILITIA consists of 4,376 Volunteer Troops, (white) and 1,785 National Guard, (colored)-total 5,561. The Adjutant General reports the general condition of the militia better thau in 1881; and he wants .an appropriation of $22,700. PARDONS AND COMMUTATIONS. The Governor within -the last year has exercised Executive elemency in 25 enses; 10 com mutations of sentences, and 15 pardons. The Message concludes in the fol lowing just and forcible language: "The exhibit laid before you of the affairs of the State is that of a well ordered, smooth-working and economic government, and of a happy and pros perous people." It has been clearly established that Catarrh is a blood poison; therefore, any remedy that is a perfeet blood purifier will cure this disease. S. S.
