Saturday Morning, November 24, 1866
Legislature.
'The general assembly of our State
convenes in Columbia'on Monday next.
While -there are certain questions of
internal policy and economy .that
ought to receive the most zealous at
tentioI of that body, there are eer
tain others it should as careful
ly abstain from encouraging, First
amiorg these latter is the Stay
Law question. It is to be trusted
that. it will not be revived, but
suffered to die the death it amply
deserves, This whole idea of afford
ing relief by Legislative interference
is achimeva and we believe, an insid
eous and dnigerous one. Let the
Legislature rather direct its energies
and its brains-to questions affecting
internal development, such as
1. The abolition of Usury Laws.
Let this Legislature expunge these
acts from our Statute books. They
are an obstacle in the way of our pro
gress, unworthy of an enlightened
government and a reproacit to our
laws.
2. The enactment of a Stock Law.
The condition of the times demands
husbandry and economy.' Here is A
wide field. In three fourths of the
State a law of this character is an ab
solute necessity, and we trust the
Legislature will recognize the fact.
It. will relieve our people of a tax,
which if exacted in dollars and cents,
would appal them, and it would be an
undoubted advantage to the stock of
the country.
3. Measures to promote immigration
to our State. This is a question of vi.
tal interest. With our wide areas of
wasted lands, we are poor and will re
main Sounless their settlement. can be
effected by a hatdy frugeil and thrifty
pi tan h ri.gd, an. im.
may he done to facilitate this immigra
tion by prompt, discreet, and liberal ac
tion.
Charleston Mercury,
The publication of this distinguish
ed paper bns been resumed and the
first issue made.
Identified as it was for so many years
with the history of the State and con
stituting a pbwer in her' politses as it
(lid, under a succession of able editors,
we wish it every success in its new
career. The Carolin,vn says of it:
Without exception, it is the most
substantial and elegant looking
sheet published between Richmond
and Now Orleans, and it bears upon
its face the marks of prosperity and
power already determinied. The
salutatory editorial is full of brave,
honest words, &c.
Released.
Messis. Keys, Stowers and Ilirem
have at last been released upon labeas,
corpus proceedings, and arrived in
Columbia on Wednesday-another
recognition of civil authority.

A special telegran ftromu Wtiitshington to the
New York /erald, of the 19th. 'urnishes. e
following news, which, if reliable, is soiro
what importai t
"Statements made to-day by a numher af
the leading representalive men of both the
Republican and Democratic parties tend to
confirm the few intimations that, have leak
ed out fsons the recent consultations at the
White louse, that the President is on the
eve of a grancoup d'etat, that will gratify
his friends add bewilder his eneunies. -1 is
safe to conclude, at the very least. that
there is an earnest desire on both sides to.

The New York Times, of the satno date,
ias the following special despatel:
"Mr. Johnson has not indicntedl his pnr.
pose relative to the amnesty-snflrnge plan
mneutioned in those despatches on Friday
last, though the gentlemen who advocate
ei.e proposition represent that the President
has givenr them encouragement to expect
that lie will adopt their suggestions sub.
sta,tially, if not exactly in the form they
advise. Several uewspaper corresponde2nts
have endeavored to create doubts of the ex.
istence pf*such a combination of leading
mnen, for the purpose of inhthcing tIre Presi.

the Southern people. asset forth in my des
patch. In order to put at rest such1 doubts,
I am enabled to say. from personal know
ledge, thnt such a combination does exist.
A ntnber of the gentlemen co-operating in
it have had interviews with Mr. Johnson,
and they have been laboring in tie.maatter
for about. a wont It. visiting qnd correspond

Tkq Reform Movement.
The New York llcralW, of the 17th
says:
A despatch by the cable, yesterday,
informt usthat the Tory Government
of England is preparing . a plan to
filanIk J ohn Bright's reform mlovement.
It is annouticed as a brilliant scheme
for bafiling the reformers, in the com
ing session of Pa rliament., by introtiii
eing a Govertunent reforii melisure,
which is to be laid on the tabld' unt il
the succeeding sessiop, the Ministry
generously offering t1 IIouse of Con
n'oua an opportunit.' fcontsidering it
in the meant ime. Whenever the To
ries obtained power, they were always
accurfomed to mal- a higher bid for
popular favor than their' predecessors
in office ; but their attempts in this di
re^t ion were usually confined to prom
ise:, which were rarely, if ever fulfill
ed. In the present advanced condi-'
tion of public intelligence, quickene(d,.
as it is, by the agitation of Bright and
his colleagues, the Tory Government
dare not go as far as the people are
prepatrcd to demaid iii the matter of
Parliamentary reformn. It is one of
those momentary crisis in whji an
aristocratic and land-owning Gi'overn
meat is placed in a ust emnbarr'assing
position, between the popular clamor
for the right of suffrage, which they
cannot stecede to without signing tbe
death warr;uit of their own ordlor, and
the desire to retain a tenure of oflice
which, without sone cunenssion, umst,
in the existing state of affairs, he very
brief.
The object of this new Govermnent
is doubtless to gain t im.oand to weak
en the effects of-Bright's agitation by
some assurance of a compromise. We
hardly thirl;, however, that, the Gov
ernment will succeed in flanking Jehin
Bright, and we are morally certaini
that no reform measure which the To
ries dare introduce will satisfy the de
mands of the Brit ish people, wtlh the
present high-,strung sentimenit that
prevails in tho three kingdoms.
