Tho United States Consul-Gencrai at Montreal is procuring affidavits from tho Fonian prisoners now in jail in that city, to bo f orwardod to Washington for tho information of tho Government.

Complaints wero rife about high dutios and ob noxious laws. Our dates from Briti"h Honduras aro dated at Belize. October 27. The health of tho colony Was good, although the weather was rainy and windy. Tho BUgar-eauo crop is said to bo the best ever raised in tho country. The Legislativo Assembly has been called together by tho Governor. The Metropolitan Steamship Company, of Now York, has purchased the Xeptunc liuo of stoamora between that city and Boston, for tho sum of thrco hundred thousand dollars, and will take possession tho 1st of Deccmbor. It is stated that Boston Bhippcre will at once establish a now liuo in place of tho Neptune. Tho virtual completion of the Chicago lako tnn nol was announced on Saturday. Tho workmen wero within thirtcon inches of tho lako end, and an augur bolo had boon bored through to tho other aide, Bhowing that tho two onus moot with oxnet ncss. The LoiuVlana State Executivo Committoo havo issued nu addi _?_? denouncing the President and ; calling uiioii Congrojs to abolish tho prcsont ays- , tom of government hi that Stato and establish a I military or provisional one, with negro suffrage as | a basis. Governor Wells is no party to the ad dress. The New York Her VA of Sunday says: "Tho tunnel ui.der Lake Michigan into-.di-l to supply Chicago with pure water will ".? -O.np.e.od to morrow, and a grand colobn.I.j i ".___ take placo in honor of tho event o_ _.__-'___.. y.

Guatz Knows, Bet?n. T. Blow and other prominent Radicals, havo inaugurated a movement in that eily looking to tho rojection of j the Constitutional Amendment by the Missouri Slate Legislature, ns well ob tho adoption of amendments to tbo State Constitution, abrogating rebel dit_irr.uchii_cm.cnt and substituting negro suffrage. There uro many reasons toboliovo that tho forlh tO-niu-g message of tho President is pervaded by conciliatory counsels, and manifestations of a do eiro on the part of tho President to soouro harmony betweon the Executive and judicial branch ca of tho Government. Tho message is rapidly approaching completion, and will probably bo placed in tho hands of the printcra next wook. It is stated in official circlos iu Washington that Louis Napoleon has notified tho Government that ho cannot possibly withdraw his troops from Mexico until spring. Under tho arrangement pre viously mado ono detachment should havo with drawn in November, but so fur thero appears to have boon no preparation mado for an embarka tion. A special Cabinet mooting was held on Thurs day, General G?ant being present by invitation, when it is behoved this mattor waa fully discussed. The Judge of the Court of Common Ploas in To ronto did not rondor his judgment on the applica tion mado for a now trial for tho condomnod Fenian prisonors Saturday, as was expected. Tho opinion will not probably be given until tho applications in tho othor cases aro hoard. A rulo was applied for by counsel in McMahon's caso Saturday, similar to the one made in the caso of Slevin. Tho judg ment in the bo casos will not probably bo given be fore the middle of next week. Mr. MoKKNzo, the counsel for the Fenian pris oners at Toronto, applied for a rulo in the Court of Common Pleas in that city on Friday, to show . . cause why.ttye verdict in tho case of Slevin, who was condemned to death, should not bo sot aside and a new trial granted. Tho objections wer. argued tn detail. It is -rumored that the war bac bcon commencod in Iroland, and that tho Fenian.: had seized the steamer China. Gen.

CHARLESTON. -* * * - WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 28, 18GC. mrs governors message. We ham tho pleasuro of laying before our read ers this morning tho McBsngo of his Excclloncy Governor Onu, an able and well written paper. After hastily glancing at tho goncral condition of tho State, tho depressed state of her iuduslry, and tho failure of the crops, and giving a word of chcor ing hope for tho futuro, ho proceeds to make euch recommendations as he thinks will promote the in terest of tho ?Stato and her people. Ile advises the Legislature to pr?vido for an amendment to tho Constitution of tho Stato in re gard to the District Courts; which can lie consum mated at tho next session. Ho says the 3d article, limiting the jurisdiction of theso Courts to colored people, should never havo boon incorpo rated into the Constitution, and tho Legislature would then havo been loft to establish such su- j pcrior and inferior Courts as the interests of the Stato may require. Ah it is, the Constitution of the State runs counter to tho legislation of Con gress. Tho Governor views tho District Court only as an experiment; as indeed all legislation must bo considered that owes its cxistnnco to a stato of things consequent upon a revolution, and made for a socioty in a stato of transition. He ad vi?on tho dispensing of Grand Juries at the Dis trict Ccart, and the reduction of the venii-c for tho Potit Jury from 24 to l8, making the jury duty Iosb onerous, and at the samo time Baying the Stato a largo amount of monoy. Ho makos several other recommendations of salutary roforms in tho administration of justico; others in regard to Commissioners of Deeds and Notaries Public. Ho next rofors to tho importance of modifying the criminal law of the Stato, in viow of tho ostab- . lishnioiit of a ponitontiary; is opposed to public whipping at the whipping-post; speaks of the im portance of enforcing the law against sheriff:- and jailors, for neglect of duty in allowing prisoners to oscape from their custody. No less than seventy prisoners aro said to havo escaped iu this Stato within the last few months. Ho recommends the election for members of Congress to bo. held biennially, ou the day that ! members of tho General Assembly aro chosen, ho i that they will tako their seats in the December j following,-a mnch better arrangement than for merly, when membors were elected four toen months beforo they could take their seats. Ho next adverts to the transfer of jurisdiction from tho military to tho civil authority; think? that exporienco thus far has justified the action of the G euer al Assembly in per milting negroes to testify in Court. From this the Governor passes on to speak on tho subject of lahor and the frced men-that ho has discouraged their migration, and says: "If the negro remains hero his labor must bo mado sufficiently remunerativo to subsist j and clothe him comfortably. Schools must bo es lishcd to educate his children, and churches built for his moral training." Ho also recommends tho passago of an act mak ing it incumbent on tho Commissioners of the Toor to provide nuitablo buildings at the various District Poor Houses for the accommodation and Bubsibtenco of aged, infirm and helpless freedmen. The nest subject of discussion in the Messago is the rcvonuo ol' the State. From this wo learn that the cntiro rovenuo received into tho treasury during the year, is S-477,7-13.07 ; of this amount there waa in tho treasury on the 31st October, sub ject to draft, a hillanco of $173,055.03, of which $70,2-15.35 was in national currency. Tho Governor rocommends covei-al important changes in tho matter of taxation ; among them a system of licenses and stamp duties, and an income tax, which, under existing internal rovonuo cireu__ ?tanecs, wo fear will not provo very palatable to our citi_ona. Tho Bank of tho Stato of South Carolina tho Governor recomnionda to bo discontinued, and that it bo put into tho bauds of Commissioners for an early liquidation. The whole amount of tho public dobt, principal and interest, of this State, uot including tho debts contracted for or on account of tho war, waB, on tho first day of October last, $5,205,227.71. The Gov ernor makos sovoral recommendations in reference to tho arrangement of this debt, and providing for tho payment of principal and interest. The sito selected by tho Oommissionr.rs for tho establishment of a ponitontiary is within tho cor porate limits of Columbia, facing the canal, about half a milo above the depot of the South Carolina Railroad. Tho architect in charge of tho build ings, Captain T. B. Lee, is confident that ho will havo colls in readiness by tho first of January for tho recoption of convicts. Gov. Onn recommonds leniency and forbearanco on the part of creditors to debtors, in viow of tho bad orops mado this year in almost ovory part of the Stato. Ho again urges tho abolition of im prisonr-out for debt. He also recommends tho passago of a Homostead Law. Tho South Carolina University is tho next topio adverted to in the Message. Thero aro at prosont aixty-flvo studonta in attondanco. Governor Orb rooomm'-ndB tho appointment of two ProfoasorB ' for tho Medical Behool, and one of Law, to put i those two departments into successful operation. > He also advocates the establishment of a profes l Horship of Modorn Languages, and reoommond i that th? Board of Trustees bo reduood from tho i presont nnwioldy number to sovon membors. Tho Govornor refors to the failure of the logis ) lative scheme for supplying tho pooplo with corn, r and recommends a further consideration of the > subject. A gonor&l Incorporation Act is strongly rocom mended in the Mossago. , Tho consideration of the Constitutional Amend ) ment, proposed by Congress, next engages the at , tention of the Governor. Ho treats it very briefly, . seeming to think it unnecessary to do moro thai , recapitulate the many strong argumenta ahead", 3 brought againBt it, in which he concurs. r In conclusion, ho says : "It ia unnecessary tx i dwell upon a subject which has boon so far deoidec t by tho publie opinion of the pooplo of the State - that I am Justified in saying that i/ tho Conatltu - tional Amendment is to bo adopted, lot it bo dom ) by tho irresponsible power of numbers, and let tu - preserve our own self-respect, and the respect oi - our pogtority, by refusing to bo tho moan instru r monte of our own oh a mo." ) Tho mesa-go -frill be found in full on our eecont i page. SOCIAL MORALS IN THR NORTH. They have a weekly newspaper inXcw York, charged with Ihc self-imposed task of watching und directing (lie publia morals. An occasion al home thrust, candidly but not very wisely given, lins net up a universal bowl among the lenders of society and their representativos of (be pros?. Such n one was the assertion, n few months ago, that drunkenness was very com mon among "the ladies of New York.'' This at once called forth a storm of invective, sa might have been expected, from Hie entire guild of (he knights of tbo quill-from the aristocratic Cabi Benson, in the Evening Post, lo the humbles, penny-a-liner in Maim .;u's il lustrated sensation sheet. True or not, makes no difference ; but it was so ungentlcmanly to say such a thing. Wc do not (hink there is any veal danger of such a pi act ice becom ing common among (be ladies of the land, mid the Round Table would do better to abandon its ground, in regard to this particular form of vice, ami strike ?it the root of (lie evil-(he prurient love of excitement, ministered unto by every class of public teachers. The pulpit, the press, the stage, (he lycoui?. all are alike guilty of ibis clinic iigiiin.st society. To make our meaning clenr.cr, wc will take an instance A gorgeous play is gotten np ni one of the leading theatres in New York. The daily press give (be most seductive descrip tions, freely interlarded willi terms which, heretofore, were the exclusive property of the Hash journals. All "our good society " go (o sec (he " Rlnck Crook." "Bul it is indecent ! How can a lady go lind witness such an .xhibi tion ?" .? It is the fashion ! It is nil the rage !" The domains of the church arc al last invaded ; some of the very "elect"' go lo see the Black Crook ; there is much scandal in consequence, when, to set this vexed question of the pro priety or impropriety of such a step forever at rest, the Rev. CltASMU B. Smyth informs his congregation (hat he intends Billing this matter thoroughly, and nscertain "the.naked truth." Expectation ison tipto.-: the '?naked truth" is what all ave desirous to hear, and, accord ingly, the Cooper Institute was crowded to its utmost capacity, on Sun lay afternoon, the ISih inst., to listen to a discourse by the Reverend | CHARLES B. Smyth, on "the nuisnnccs of New York, particularly the naked truth." The Herald gives a full verbatim report of the ser mon, and remarks: "A large proportion of the audience were ladies, many of whom, it is to be presumed, (ook (his opportunity of learn ing from an eye-witness (he nature of nn ob scene exhibition taking place nightly at one of the Broadway theatres, before going to see foi themselves." This modern exponent of Sr. Fail's admoni tion to avoid even the appearance of evil, read his lesson, took his text, and then launched forth into a minute description of the delecta ble orgies he witnessed at that wicked place, in Broadway. Be it understood, too, that his de scription, stripped of all the accidents that make even such an exhibition tolerable, and given ' I from the reverend gentleman's own prurient i stand-point, presented an aggregate of more and far greater foulness than any of his nu merous auditors would have seen for themselves: for did lie not go for the very purpose of dis covering ' the "naked truth,"-to tear away,; willi Mcphistopholmusatisfaction, even the little flimsy covering of decency? The Herald remarks: "The speaker had the full sympathy of his bearers.*' Of course he hail, and this is precisely what we compinia of. That an entire audience of Christian worship pen should, with one accord, and of set purpose, listen to such disgusting details, be"-- ] tokens a most lamentable state of public morals. Although the reverend preacher mnkes a pre tence of modesty, when, in speaking of the two leading characters in the play, he says: "Ho addresses her in a double entend?;; which is so doubly refined in a subterranean crucible that respooi for the polite cnr3 of any audience ut- j tcrly forbids mc to quote the language,"-yet ', would we be unwilling to spread his sermon in our columns. Southern render- arc not yet prepared to pardon, even in newspapers, what Northern Christians go to church for, on pur pose to hear from the eloquent lips of their fa vorite preachers. This is, of course, owing to the greater advance in civilization, nnd in an "enlightened evangelical Christianity," made by our Northern brethren. But as wo do not wish todo the reverend gen tleman any injustice, wc give his opinion of the play, when he appears in the triple charac ter of censor, art critic and preacher. He says: Thore wos nothing to commond It from begin ning to ond. To say the least, "it is a queer thing." No. only an iniquity, but a uniqnity, with no plot, no good moral implied-no-no-no anything that ia good-a naughty, naughty, naughty thing tliroughout. It in a vory sac rifico to the devil. Let it be denounced in proBs, pulpit, parlor and boudoir, until those who aro responsible for it shall be constrained by a roflned public sontiment to substituto for it something that w.11 improve rather than injure the public morals of this splendid metropolis (ap plause)-something that will not stoop to enter into competition with tho lowost purUous iu ord or to satisfy the lascivious oye with sights of beauty. (Applause.) It speaks well for our nation, for the nativo modesty of American ladies, and the in stinctive virtuous tastos of American artistes, that tho proprietors and manager of this concern could find nono upon this continent snnk uo low in self respect as to pnt in jeopardy their all of character and weal; and therefore to procuro their ballet ! troupo found it necessary to bring them from be yond tho Boas (applauso), as in former times the African.) were imported, and then mado to sing > their own shame. I am happy te leam that my lectures aro begin ning to produce thoir desired "licet. Did you over 1 soo lightning that was not followod by the rolling of tho thunder? Now you see the Hash I Sooner . or later you hear the report and tlio rumbling, running, roaring of Heaven's artillery. How the olonds pour down water 1-how the earth trembles - and shakes beneath your fcot 1-how puny, mi-.era . bio mortals, mado mora miserable moved with fear, do likowiso quake 1 So when truth darts its ' fiery flashes to tho consoionco it brings blessings ? from above, it stirs the souls of sinners, a sleeping r world becomes aroused from its slumbers and qniv ors like an aspon loaf. Already thoro is a shaking among tho dry bones-, and thoro aro indications > that some men who nover shook bofore, save when I they nodded in their dream.., aro awaking to in quiry at least, and many moro unto a realization of ' the precarious condition of tho world and tho . Church. .* The case of Rev. Mr. Smyth is not a solitary ' one. Ho has only outstripped his brethren a little in tho race. Sensation prcaohing is tho rule, the fashion; and nothing is too piquant [ for the ecclesiastical stage. On the carno Sun day, at tho Church of the Turitans, in Union ?Squavo, New York, the Rev..Ur..?ip:i;vKit .dp lighted his Christian audience with n sermon on the Constitutional Amendment. His text was: "Cursed be ho that rcmoveth his neigh bor's landmark." We in lite ?South have more reason to feel in terested in Hie Constitutional Amendment (han Hie people of New York. Our future fate and fortunes are said lo depend upon Hie accept ance or rejection of ibis measure? The people of the North have no personal concern what ever in it. Yet. I hoy run aller a preacher who will prostitute his holy office and make of him self ii common political demagogue. ?Should a minister of Hie Gospel in the South so Tar for get his vocation as lo advertise ?-itch clap-trap topics, he would soon find that lie had not "the sympathy of his audience." Morbid excitement, unreasoning fanaticism, and the most unscrupulous passions, rule (he mind of the North, from the lowest to the greatest, mid woo unto us for having such a master. """." "wants.
