The interest lust year upon loans made by the Hoard amounted to $<r>48.02. The results of the farming operations for the lut year wore very unfavorable, but thif is not discouraging, and furnishes no justiticVion of nn abandonment of thn'. system. These disasters were caused by agencies beyond human control. Three of the farms in which the Penitentiary is interested sutfered serious injury from high wuicr. A large portion of two of these farms ni re entirely cor ere I by w iter on three several I occasions, whereby tlie crops were ciinpletely destroyed-upon large areas not a vestige remaining. Notwithstanding these disaster* anl the money and labor expert led in valuable pennaiu.mii improvements cm the prison, an l the work i'Uio on the Canal and for the Stile House Coinin ssh.'i, die Directors report n cash deficiency of only ;?:?,iil 1.

The Superintendent reports thai the entire expenses of the institution, i ncliid ng (lie cost ?.f mi'teriiil, wages of Uuard and Firemen and other charges lias hocn reduced to 21; cents per capita per diem. This is the lowest | oint yet at I lined, mil will c impure favorably with any other similar institution in the country.

In my judgment the constitution should be further amended. Section 1:1 of article I should be etrioken out, and another substituted in lieu thereof, which shout I provide that r. Circuit Judge shall hold his otfee dnring good behavior. The reasons justifying such change need not be given here. Section l'.t of article 4 of the constitution should be stricken out. This section provides ilint : 'The qualified electors of each County shall elect three persons f?r i'is ter.n of iw years, who shall constitute a Hoar 1 of County Comm'ssioners, which shall have jurisdiction over roads, highways, ferries, bridges, and in ail itisiness rotating id laic, uiKouryonienie 01 money for county iiurp^ici, and in any other case I hat may be necessary to the internal improvement and local concerns of (lie respective Counties. It is ant advisable in insert any provision iu the stead thereof. It should he left in the lie no nil Assembly c> provide regulations far the government of the affairs of the counties. In anticipation of this amendment, it would bo premature to submit any suggestions looking to the establishment of a better system of county government. It is unquestionable that the present system is not suited to our condition, and is the cause of many of the evils of which the people complain. I adopt as of direct application to the consideration by which we are surrounded, a sentence front the first inaugural address of i'resideut Jacks .n in which he says : The recentdemoostration of public sentiment inscribes on the list of executive duties, in characters too legible ts he overlooked, the task of reform." Neither dishonesty, infidelity nor incapacity need he imputed to county olficials, with the greatest efficiency, good results cannot be attained under the present system. Kflfect the change hare suggested, and much improvement will he within the reach of the Legislature. I RNSt ?. The aMenltoti of the tlcneral Assembly has heretofore been directed to the fact that article'J, section 4, of the Constitution provides that an enumeration of the inhabitants of the State shall he made in the courr"* of every tenth year, after 1S7">, for the purpose of an apportionment of Representatives among the eountie*, and that Section article 2, provt les, that 'if the enumeration herein directed shall ml ho male in the course of the year appointed fir the purpose, it shall he the duty of the governor to nave u i-neciea as a.ion tiicreatier as slial lie practicable.' Ii is plainly (lie intention i f -cctinii last mentioned the accomplishment of ttio purpose stato 1 in llio first shall not fir any cause be defeati-il. Ti?o Uovernor cirinit discharge the duty thus impose I upon him nithout an appropri it ion. Clearly. the <i ucraor shoiil ! not be required to perform n duly, and at the same tiino be denied the menu- by wlii- ht > discharge it. I recommend that an appropriation lie tnadc fir this purpose. Thi* will be iie;e*?ary if you should ratify ilie amendment t< the< institution relating to tho census. IM.WI.I ?l?l>.

I havo made it my business, a- I believe it to be my duty, fir the purpose of ascertaining what imperfections exist and what improvements ought to be made. No session fur many years ha- presented so many important subjects .-n the present for legislative consideration. The people demand the abolition of needless offices. I have culled your attention to those with which, I think, we cm dispense, without nHeeling the efficiency of the whole.

We think it one of (lie roost stales-^w manlike messages that has over been presented to a General Assembly of South Carolina, and we hope cvory one of our subscribers will read carefully what wo publish of it. We only omit such portions of the message as we think would not greatly interest our tenders, and this only for want of space, for the whole document would handsomely pay for a careful perusal. It is ati able nnd manly exhibit of our public affairs and our public iusf itutious, intelligently portrayed to the people of the State, with such wise suggestions of much needed reforms and curtailments of public expenditures as will, wo are confident, command the endorsement and prompt action of the Legislature.
