THE GOVERffOB'S MESSAGE.
As some- of the most interesting por?
tions of this document did not appear last
?week?owing to-the defective manner in
which it was published by the daily pa?
pers?vre append such passages as are.most
worthy of perusalt
JTJBIBS.
A change is demanded in the system of
selecting j uries. As at present managed,
jfc ia liable, and perverted, to great abuse,
on account of the character of the per?
sons placed upon, them Men- have been
appointed on Grand and Peti? juries who
were at the time, and are now, ander
heayy bail on charges of complicity with
murder;, and in one case, when one of
. these accused individuals was foreman
ef the Grand* Jury, bills for murder sub?
mitted to tbem by the Solicitor of the
Circuit were ignored and thrown'out,,
notwithstanding the oaths of: witnesses'
who identified the accused as participants
in the murder. Cases are- decided, not
the guilt or innocence of parties, but
in accordance with the political bias of
the juries; and, from the intensity of pre?
judice existing, it is Vain to expect a bet?
ter condition of things while the present
system of drawing juries continues. This
corruption of jnstice at the fountain head
demands a prompt, and efficient remedy,,
which will place the jury box above the
influence of politics, and fill it .with our
beat and" most intelligent citfzehs, whose
reputation places them above reproach
and above suspicion.
MAGISTRATES COURTS;
I hare heretofore directed your atten?
tion to the subject of Magistrates'Courts,
aud 'would urgently renew my recommen?
dations on the subject. The wide latitude
heretofore given to the discretion of Mag?
istrates-and Courts has had the effect to
ero wd our jails with petty/ oSenders, at a
heavy expense to the State, much of
which could be avoided by giving final
juriediction to Magistrates' Courts^ with
right of appeal, of all minor offences, such
as petit larceny, simple- assault and batte?
ry, and other misdemeanors ot similar
grade, with power to determine the ques?
tion of guilt, *n(l its extent, and to inflict
penalties by tine. This would obviate the
necessity of a good deal of Sessions busi?
ness, ami the cost of witnesses'" fees mid*
expenses. A fair and reasonable fee bill
- should be established, as there is much
complaint that Magistrates and Constables
are guilty of making extortionate exac?
tions from the poor and ignorant. Many
cases have been so manipulated as to in?
volve the largest amount of costs, and
others again have been instituted for ma?
licious purposes, frequently from political
motives or political objects. When such
cases have been substantiated, I have
promptly removed the offenders, and
many of them, in my opinion, deserved a
more rigorous punishment. I have been
apprised of cases where Magistrates have
attempted to interfere with the State
Constables while in the discharge of their
duty, and recommend that adequate pun?
ishments be provided for such offences.
Severe penalties should also be provided
for carrying concealed deadly weapons, a
cowardly practice, which has become en?
tirely too prevalent.
AGRICULTURE.
The agriculture of the State is the fun?
damental basis of its prosperity, and yet
not one fourth of its soil has been brought
uuder cultivation, and so little of labor
and skill have been devoted to it, that
were it not among the most favored re?
gions of the earth, the heedless and care?
less system of tillage to which it has been
subjected, would long since have exhaust?
ed it. And yet in no department of hu?
man industry can skilled labor be made
more available, or a larger or more varied
circle of scientific acquirements be more
thoroughly and profitably utilized, than
? agriculture; and in no locality is-there
a more extensive or a more inviting field
for their exercise than in South Carolina.
The loss resulting aurually to the State
from the practice of an unskilled and
careless system ef husbandry, instead of
one that is intelligent and energetic, is
hardly to be estimated. Of the nineteen
or twenty millions of acres comprised
within our limits, about one-fourth are
devoted to cultivation,,the rest is in woods
of valuable timber, and in unreclaimed
swamp, easily drained, and of inexhausti?
ble fertility.
In 1867 there were devoted to farm pro
ducts 716,041 acres of corn, ?45,654 acres
to. wheat, 70,900 acres to oats, 77,000 a*cres
to hay, 9,835 to rye, 1,166 to barley, 1,890
to Irish potatoes,, and 200 to tobacco. Of
the balance, the greater portion was de?
voted to the great commercial staples of
cotton and rice. The average yield* per
acre was officially reported as nine and
rfx-tenths bushels <?[ com; wheat, Bix
bushels and four tenths j oois, eh veil
bushels and one tenth ; rye, fjve bnshels
and seven-tenths; barley, eleven bushels
and one tenth ; Irish potatoes, eighty
bushels ami four tenths; tobacco, "five
hundred pounds^ and of hay, one ton.
When it is recollected that it has been
demonstrated by actual experiment and
r??e<v*u.rement, in the vicinity ot the city
of Columbia, that with high culture, and
under favorable circumstances, it is prac
ticable to produce two hundred bushels
and. twelve quarts of corn from a single
a?ore of laud ; and that with ordinary in?
telligence and iudustry., twenty bnshels of
wheai, ryev or- oats.; thirty-five of barley,
and one hundred bushels of Irish- pota?
toes, are readily produced to the acre, the
contrast between what i?, and what ought
to be, the agricultural products of thi?
State, is alike surprising and. mortifying,
and demonstrates emphatically she neces?
sity of a radical change; and to this we
are still further impelled by the inexora?
ble logic of events.?in the change'd con
dition of ciremittances by wkit-h we are
surrounded; in the thorough and sweep*
i)ig revolution in our system of labor^ en?
forcing the Divine- edjet,as beneficent as
it is just, that man sitaU ea* breed by the
sweat of hi* own face, and not by thatrof
his fellow-man, ami by the resistless tide
of intellectual activity and effort every
where surrounding u*, to? take our- place
in the march of material progress, and by
calling science to> tike- aid of labor, blend?
ing brain ami muscle- in, harmonious co?
operation, build ud. the fallen, fortunes of
our beloved-State, make her waste -places
to bloom, and .blossom as the rose, and fa?
cilitate and ha&ten her attainment of a
prosperity and happiness more exalted,
more general, and more permanent, than
has ever been witnessed within her bor?
ders. That the Legislature will cheerful?
ly cooperate in all legitimate efforts to
bring about this desirable result?the im?
provement of our agriculture?I cannot
permit myself to doubt. The formation
of societies of practical farmers, meeting
together periodically, to communicate and
contrast the results of their ex perience and
experiments, adds the additional stimulus
Jof emulation to efforts of improvement
and excellence. I would suggest that an
appropriation be made, to be apportioned
among the different Counties which may
raise an equivalent sum, to be distributed
as premiums to those who may excel in
the different branches of their profession,
but particularly in the deep and thorough
breaking up and pulverization of the soil,
which is of primary importance, and to
the neglect of which much of our waste
of labor and of land may be attributed.
The substitution of thorough tillage for
the superficial scraping and scratching of
the soil now so generally practiced, is the
first step to improvement and success, and
this truth cannot be too forcibly impressed
upon the minds of the farmers, and espe?
cially of those who, have but recently
become proprietors or occupants of land
on their own account. This will make
many an acre -now thrown out as "old
fields'^productive and valuable, and ena?
ble the thrifty and industrious farmer to
procure homes at a comparatively small
expense, the products of which will con?
tribute materially to the support of their
families. Some legislation seems to be
necessaryTor the prevention et the burn?
ing" of the woods, a practice not only dan?
gerous in itself, and' injurious to timber,
fencing and the soil, but largely responsi?
ble for noticeable changes in our climate,
for the increased lateness and severity of
seasons, and' foi the bug and exhausting
droughts, whicn are yearly becoming
more disastrous. History, both ancient
and modern, contains many examples of
the pernicious results of denuding a coun?
try of its timber; and by men of intelli'
gence it has been deemed that the too
general felling of the woods is the most
destructive among the many causes of the
physical deterioration of the earth. Its
mischievous effects in our own section are
already observable, not only m our pro?
tracted droughts and late spring frosts,
and in the washing out of the soluble
portion of our soil, but in the drying np
of springs and rivulets, and the destruc?
tion oi o?rr upland pastures, many of which
during the summer months afford neither
water nor herbage for cattle. In the
State of Iowa the planting of trees is en?
couraged by a law by which the farmer is
released from taxation for ten years on
one hundred dollars valuation for every
acre of forest trees planted ; and> for each
acre of fruit trees planted from a taxation \
of fifty dollars valuation for five years ; J
and a similar provision for fruit trees and
1 ic-dges aloug the highways.
Sheep husbandry is an important source
of wealth to the farmer,, for which, we
have many facilities and advantages. The
principal obstacle to its successful pursuit!
is the multitude of dogs by which many
neighborhoods are infested. It may be
well to inquire whether the numbers of
these pestilent curs may not be advanta?
geously diminished by holding their own?
ers to a strict accountability for the offen?
ces and depredations committed by them;
and, as there is seldom necessity tor more
than one about a dwelling, a salutary in?
fluence may be exercised by imposing a dis?
criminating tax on all above that number,
increasing the ratio of taxation with each
additional dog; thus, for a second dog in a
family, two dollars; for a third, three
dollars; and so proportionately. This
vould have a tendency to reduce the
number of dogs, and to economize the
amount of food now wasted on them,
while it would enable the breeders of
sheep to increase the numbers of that
valuable animal, and thus to substitute
producers of food and clothing for con?
sumers and destroyers of both.
TUE RIVER FISHERIES.
As a valuable adjunct to agriculture in
the production of food, I deem it my du?
ty to call your attention to the impor?
tance of adopting mcusures lor the resto?
ration of our river fisheries. It is within
the recollection of many when the Savan?
nah, the Santee and the Pee Dee, and
their numerous tributaries, yielded annu?
ally a generous tribute of savory and nu?
tritious food from tho swarming fisherios
along their shores, und when shad were
sold in Columbia market at twenty for a
dollar. Now they are seldom seen unless
brought from a drstanee, and are sold at
ten titUcs the former prices, placing them
beyond the means of the poor, to whom
thej' wore an every day article of cheap
-and wholesome food, and limiting them,
as a luxury, to tho rich. From the great?
er number of our rivers the}' are com?
pletely banished. Of the trufeb of this
statement, and of the cause of it, I quote
the following testimony of a highly in?
telligent and influential gentlemen, "who
has creditably served the country both in
our State and National Councils. In re?
ply to a circular 1 had caused to be issued,
ho remarks:
"1 cannot say when the shad were
stopped trom < oming up tho Saluda, but
1 think it may bo dated when the factory
dam was built across the rivor, near its
month. Previous to that time, and as far
back as my memory goes, shad were
caught in great numbers in that river. I
remember well when I was a lad, my fa?
ther, who lived in Laurens District, some
ten miles distant from Island Ford, was
yearly in the- haJwh oi sending a wagon
to that place for shad, and always return?
ed with a full supply to lust the family
until even tho children no longer consid?
ered them a rarity. Many other famrKos
did the same ivwxt both sides of tho river;
and this was only one of many such shad
fisheries'on that river. Now, for thirty.
Oiio years back, when I can particularly
remember, not a single shad has been
j ?aught from, the Saluda ; they have been
j totality shut out. by that selfish dam,"
I Many siiwifttir communications have
I been received fron* other sources, demon
[ strating conclusively that the banishment
j of the shad and other migratory fishes
liom tho upper waters of tho State, and
I the consequent deprivation of tho people
of a large amount of nutritious and pal
i ?table food, is altogether attributable to
?
tho numerous dams that have been con?
structed in the rivers and streams, by
which they are completely barricaded
against the passage offish, and this in
violation of law, which requires that all
dams shall be furnished with fish ways at
least sixty feet wide to enable fish to pass
up to tbeir spawning ground. Below the
dams, an unceasing warefare is waged
against them by the owners of weirs,
trups, neU and seines, during breeding
season, as if their extirpation had been a
matter of solicitude, an#.jyas determined
on. The cause suggests the remedy,
which can he secured by the appointment
of Commissioners, with ample powers to
enforce existing laws in relation to tho
dams in rivers and streams, and other il?
legal obstructions to the passage of fish ;
and the regulation of seines, nets and fish
traps, by which their destructive opera?
tions will be restrained and limited ; and
to recommend such other measures as
they may deorn necessary for the accom?
plishment of the object of their appoint?
ment.
From the well-established fact that shad
and other migratory fishes always return
to tbeir breeding places, and that they
have been excluded for so many years
from the upper portions of our rivers, it
may be necessary to restock them by ar?
tificial moans. This can bo effected with
great facility and at a comparatively
trifling expense. The process of restock?
ing the rivers of Now England, New
York and Pennsjdvania is now in the lull
tide of successful operation, and millions
of eggs of the salmon, white-fish, trout
and shad are hatched and set loose every
season, gradually to find their way to the
ocean, whence, after many days, with un?
erring instinct, they'will return to their
breeding places for purposes of reproduc?
tion. Between thirty and forty millions
of shad have been hatched and set loose
in Connecticut River; and during the
past breeding season, they wore hatched
at tho ruto of one million per day in the
upper waters of the Hudson Eiver. Tho
roe of a f?ll grown shad contains one
hundred thousand eggs, and these boing
readily fecundated by the milt of the
male fish, are placed in properly prepared
boxes, and deposited in running water, to
be hatched in from three to four days;
and so successful have experts become in
the process, that ninety-eight thousand
live fish have been produced from one
hundred thousand eggs. The young fish
are then set loose, and immediately seek
the middle of the stream, to avoid their
numerous enemies who infest its margin,
and gradually float with the current to
tho ocean. The boxes are then ready for
another batch. Tho cost of the boxes is
above two dollars each. Two hundred
boxes will hatch seven million of shad
daily, or in twenty five days about fifteen
millions, and would requiro the attention
of about twenty-five men for less than
one month. Thus it will be seen that in
a comparatively short period our rivers
may be restocked not only with shad, but
with other valuable species that may be
deemed deabnble, and our people in a few
years will gather lull harvests of rich sub?
sistence from our rivers, and "suck an
abundance from the waters of the sea.
By those who have attentively studied
the subject, it iis estimated that an acre of
water will produce, with, more certainty
and less labor, as much food as an aero ot
land, and when diligently attended to, in
weil conducted fish ponds, it has been as?
certained, that it will realize five times as
muelv. if this bo so, tho absurdity of our
past policy Fn pennkting the- fish t& bo
excluded from our rivers, may bo illustra?
ted by supposing that our lands now rais?
ing corn, and cDtton, should bo allowed to
bo neglected so as to fail in giving their
yearly supply of food and comfort. But
is this more absurd than in having per?
mitted lor so many years our rivers and
smaller streams, that once teemed with
an annual supply of grateful and gener-|
ous sustenance to tho community, to be?
come barren and unproductive?

? The Georgia State Fair, at Maconr|
has been a triumphant success. Every
section ot the State was represented, both
in person and by its agricultural products,
and the exercises were of a highly inter?
esting character. - Hon. Mark A. Cooper
delivered an oration upon "The Destiny of |
Georgia," predicting that in time the 500,
000 bales of cotton now annually put into
the market from that State will be manu?
factured within its own limits. He urged
the planters to seize upon the water-priv?
ileges now in the market for sale at low
prices, and hold them for future use when?
ever the capital of Georgia is sufficient for |
their development. Mr. Cooper depreca?
ted the payment of large annual sums to
Northern manufacturers when Georgia
has equal facilities within its own limits.
The address was listened to by a large and
appreciative audience. The grounds of the
society cover one hundred and forty-five
acres, and are surrounded by a substan?
tial fence Its building was once a Con?
federate laboratory. It is two stories high,
and contains an immense hall and eigh
teen smaller rooms. There is also a capa?
cious velocipede rink, and an amphitheatre
with seats for l&,000 persons.
