Superintendent of great embarrassment, nnd
will save in the mutter of interest. 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. II. This deficiecey will he
more than covered hy the bricks anl farm produce
on hand.
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 the matter of maintenance simply, including
foo l, clothes, shoes, guards, medicine and
medical attention, the coat is I.A cents per
dictn per capita.
The record thus presented, under I lie circutnstanccs,
is the highest testimony that couM l>e
offered of the ellieiency <>f the management of
tlic institution.

For the proite.'iitioii of the work for the ensuing

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

I have tints endeavored I i lay befit c you my
thoughts upon the condition of the State, and
the mat hods by which i*. may he improved. 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. They demand
strict economy an I tigil aecouutithility
in tli expenditure of public moneys, hut it
should not he forgotten thai it i- not always the
smallest expenditure thai coii-tituies the wisest
economy. They demand a simple and business
like conduct of t lie affair*, -late and cmin'y, will
be simplified and iiujiroved, of the ( ivcrninent
I have made suggestion- by 'he adoption
of which I believe the admini*tration of
our nltiiirs hut in ilie consideration
of apropriiiens, if should not he forgotten
that efficiency is the great purpose to bo
achieved, and from ibis en 1 our attention should
nol he diverted.
Tho people ?Ici i.1 ii?1 that the burdens na well
as the benefits of goterunieni shall be distrihuted
with fairness, justness and impartiality.
They demand uniformity and simplicity in taxation,
and its distribution in sueli a manner as
that, while all should bear ilnr just share of the
common burdens, thoso shall contribute most
who receive most, and those suirer least who
can hear least.
For these important milters I bespeak your
careful consideration, and inv,'king the blessing
of Almighty tiol upon y our deliberation. I trust
that your duty will be discharged in such a
manner that the permanent nn I material interests
of the State and tin; happiness and prosperity
of iter pooplo may l?c promoted.

Up to this date very lift to. if any legislation of imp

lie only real legislation that has been transacted.
Senator lalward* of Darlington introduced n bill last
week to aliolish free tuition in tlieSiulh < arolinn College*
ud to charge a tuition loo "f sixty (t>0) ^dollars.
Thecommittee to whom the bill wax referred made an
unfavorable rejiort upon it, but a minority rc|M>rt vu
Inndel in recommending that a tuition fee of fifty (50)
dollars be charg-sl. ft i" very likely that the bill will
b* killed in the Senate,, hut a similar hill will doubtless
h? introduced in the House of Kepresentalivcs which,
with amendment*. may pass m the Senate?at least that
Is the tieneral impression.
^Senator Smyihe has introduced a Hill asking for slate
aid to Charleston,in iier terrible tsmditioii. The bill
will?ouie up f r consideration to-day, and it will very
likely be killed. iniieh as we love t lisrlc?t?n and
her peo|?te, yet we cannot see the iu-thv in giving slate
aid lo any one section or place, especially now that our
I lax paying people art so sorely in need of holp th;iuselvcs.

*dr We occupy roost t.f our if c r read ng
matter this week with a very i.i ^e part of
he admirable messnge of (Jot. Sluppard to the
Legislature. 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.
