Scott. The hall of the HodST:waa filled to overflowing, a large and cnljmhs .cjr?wd of citizens filling all the space allotted to outsiderS^aW! the members of the two bodies, Officials ele"drcandidates and lob? by members occupying "t^Mipace that remain? ed. The proceedings were marked with deco? rum. A salute of nineteen guns was fired by the military when the ceremony was conclud? ed, and the town bell rang a benediction. ?The business of neither body was important. In the Senate the message of the new Gov? ernor -was read, and notice given by J. J. Wright (colored), of his intention to intro? duce a bill memorializing Congress to remove the disabilities of citizens.. It is believed that the measure cannot succeed. A bill was read the .first time to reorganize the County Courts and referred'to the proper committed also, a bill to Tali dato all acts of the provisional gov? ernment not inconsistent with the Constitu? tion of the United States. The Senat? is working much more steadily and systematically than the House, and the. body evince" a desire to commence making the changea required by the new Constitution at once. The Constitutional Amendment was passed by a vote of one hundred and eight to ten, and when engrossed, wilt be taken to Washington by C. C. Bowen. HOUSE OF BEPBX3ENTAT1VES. The House assembled at ten o'clock. J. H. Neagle, from the Committee on the Inauguration, reported that all arrangements for the ceremony had been made, and recom? mended tb at .ex-Governor James L. Orr be in? vited to. accompany General Scott and occupy a seat upon the platform. ""'The same member also made a report from the Committee on Organization, and recom? mended the following offices: A sergeant-at armsand one assistant; a doorkeeper and one assistant; a chief messenger and. three assist? ant messengers; two pages; a derk and three assistante; a reading derk, chaplain and stenographer. The nominations of the com? mittee made, after subjecting a number of persons to various tests, will be acted upon at nalf-pist 12 o'clock to-morrow, until which time the consideration of the report was post? poned." The committee further recommend that the Attorney General be authorized to employ the necessary number of engrossing clerks, not to exceed six in number except by express authori? ty of the General Assembly, tod that he also be authorized to employ the services of two - competent legal gentlemen to aid in the prepa? ration of various papers, for the consideration ci the Legislature. Made a special order for to-morrow. R. B. Elliott called up the question of privi? lege, which was pending at the hour ot ad? journment yesterday, namely: as to the admis? sion, of the gentlemen from Anderson, and proceeded thereon to make an argument. These members were as much entitled to their seats, he s aid, as any other persons on the floor. They possessed primafacie evidence of their election, and if noe recognized there would be estab? lished a precedent of the most dangerous character. Exclude these .gentlemen simply because somebody has seen fit to protest against the el .-ct:on, and any member would have the power of retarding the organization of the body for weeks. Elliott concluded by ot- ; fer ing tho following : . . , *. : 'Resolte?, That the House do now rescind the action whereby certain individuals claiming , seats", and holding certificates of election sign? ed by General Canby, were denied admmission \ as such, and that they be alic wed to take'seats ? and be sworn, and that if protests be offered : they be referred-to'-th? Committee on Elec- , boas. : W. G. Whipper followed in the same line o? argument, ana' moved the previous question. The call was ens tain ed, and the yeas and nays being tareen, it- was d ecide d to admit all m em? bers having ' certificates from General Canby, by the hands om? vota of eighty-four yeas to twenty-seven nays. .. i . The .Fourteenth Artide, or Constitutional Amendment, being the -special order of the day4 wa* now taken- tip. - A. J. Ransier said that while that amend- ? ment had been voted for by a majority of forty thousand people in South Carolina, and al? though the adoption of tho amendment was necoseary to the restoration of the States lately in rebellion, h e.personally did not wish to be understood as endearing by his vote that por- , tion of the amendment which concedes the right to the States to disfranchis? any portion of tho citizens residing therein. He claimed for every man. .not within speciile exceptions, the right to vote, and since the expediency of the restriction hod passed away, he could not support the amendmeit as a whole, bat would vote for it #i*h a protest against the objection- , Able portion to which he had referred. Mr. .Tomlin s oh said that be had intended to | make a pimilar statement to the above, but as th^h?ur ft? the-inauguration was arriying, ho . would- call "the previous question. - . ? ...

Oh motion of Mr. Tomlinsoo, the House took ! a recess of twenty minutes. - On reassembling, the Sergeant-nt-arms, pro tem, announced, "The honorable the Senate of Bouth Carolina have arrived." The Senate, preceded by their President, marched in and occupied the front seats, the President taking his place on the right of the Speaker; mean? while the platform had been occupied by vari? ous persons, among whom were Mr." F. A. Sawyer, Parson French, Brown, a colored preacher, Major Deane, Gilbert Pillsburv, T. J.. Robertson, Col. Willard, Gen. Pearce, C. C. Bowen, J, H. Goss, anda number of ladies. ; At the appointed hour Mr. J. H. Neagle, as chairman of the committee, announced to the Speaker : "I introduce Governor R. K. Scott, ' Governor elect ot South Carolina." The Speaker* bowed, and requested Rey. E. P. Adams to open the proceeding? with prayer, which was done, the two Houses standing. In the course of his invocation he made use of the following remarks j-'^Oh God,' who hast caused a servant to rule over thy people So that good may come out of evil," &c. The President of the Senate now said : "1 . now have the honor of introducing to the joint Assembly -Governor R. E. Scott. The Governor then delivered the inaugural ad? dress telegraphed to you to-day. The oath or office "was now administered by the President nt the Convention, who, on the completion o: ;..?task, ?aid: '"By virtue of the power imposeu apon me by the Constitutional Convention, I now proclaim his Excellency, 0ov.

In the course of the brief d bate on the reso? lution, Ransier took occasion to say that he had seen the former officials of the State on the subject, and was satisfied that they had procured the most suitable place that could be had. The r?solu ion was adopted. On motion of B. C- DeLarge, the Committee on Elections were empowered to send for per? sons and papers. A. J.

AN ADDRESS BY GOVERNOR ORR. TO TSE PEOPLE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. 'On. the 29th of November, lc"65,1 entered upon the discharge of the duties of Chief Magistrate of South Carolina,'pursuant to the provisions of the Constitution adopted by a Convention in September, 1865. This Conven? tion was called by a proclamation of Provisional Gov. Perry,*he having been appointed to that position by President Johnson, the July pre? ceding. Upon what principle the President declared that the Constitution of force at the close of the war was invalid, and by virtue of what au? thority he could order the formation of a new Constitution, has not been very well defined. Nevertheless as we were inst emerging from a revolution, and as the scheme of restoration proposed hy the Pr?sident appeared to be libe? ral and just, it was accepted hy the people of South Carolina, and by no one of her citizens more heartily than myself. Thatiplan, how ever,?fciled, as indicated by the vote of the peoplerin 1866. .< A new one was adopted by Congress, and the question presented tb the then existing Executives of the Southern States was whether they would advise its ac? ceptance or refection. I advised its accept? ance. My official functions having now termi? nated, I deem the present a proper occasion to briefly review what bas been done in the State during my administration-to present some of che reasons which have influenced my official action, and to express the opinions entertained by me as to the proper line of policy in the fu? ture. Until the meeting of the General Assembly in November, 1865, the State had been for j many months entirely under the jurisdiction of provost courts and military commissions. No civil court had met to administer law Or justice in South Carolina for more than twelve months preceding. Outlaws abounded in many localities, depredations were of daily occur? rence, and desperadoes roamed over the land, defying tho military and outraging the per? sons and .prop rty of citizens. It was not until the succeeding spring that the judges resumed their places upon the bench, courts were held, criminals brought io trial and pun- j : iehment, and civil law, to a certain extent, was' restored. Citizens then became more assured : of protection,"and the prospects of material ?regress and improvement hourly brightened, be public institutions were revived. The South Carolina College was converted into a >' University, reorganized and placed in success? ful operation. The asylum for the deaf, and < dumb and the blind, was reopened and contin- : ued in operation until the exhaustion of the fund appropriated by the'Legislature. A Pen- ; itentiory was ordered to he established, and ? rapid progress has Inen made in it? construc? tion. A large number of convicts are already incarcerated io the prison, earning their subsistence and relieving the Staff - from : the expense of maintaining them in idle? ness in the jails. The new State House has been enclosed and covered, thus protect- ?1 inp a structure, whi:h has coBt an immense sum pf money, from further deterioration and decay. Courthouses have been placed in prop- i er repair, or new ones erected, and the jails destroyed'by fire have been rebuilt. The Li- i brarv of the Court of Appeals, together with 1 the Legislative Library, which were detr.royed ' by the conflagration of February, 1865, "are ] again fi ling up with those volumes so essen- t tial to the judge and legislator in the perform- i ance of their duties-the Executives of the^ra- i rious States of the Union having generously i responded to the request that they would fur- i nish duplicate copies of such books as could ] be conveniently spared from their respective j collections. The Executive Departments have < been thoroughly reorganized, and are in i successful operation, and the records and 1 archives of the State which were not des- < troyed hy Are or lost hy the casualties of i war, have , been re-arranged for the public I convenience. Artificial legs have been 1 furnished to nearly all of the citizens of South t Carolina who lost their limbs during the war. < AU the important railroads of the State which I were torn up and destroyed towards the close < of the war have been repaired, and the Unes i are now in successful operation and prepared i to facilitate the commercial intercourse of the 1 interior with the seaboard, the North, and with ] foreign nations. Repeated remonstrances made against the illegal and oppressive conduct of ] Treasury agents have secured the restitution i of much, property belonging to citizens which j had been seized, ostensibly for the use of the < government, and the obnoxious parties were i recalled or dismissed. During tbe year 1866, and t up to April, 1867, there was little or no inter- ] terence by the military authorities with tbe i civil administration of justice in the State. lu i consequence of the failure of the provision i crop of 1866, appeals were addressed to every ; section of the North and West for corn and ? other provisions to supply the destitute, who < were numbered by thousands. These appeals ' were generously responded to, and through | this Department a large quantity of corn und i bacon was distributed during the spring and ] summer of 1867, thereby alleviating the suffer- : ines of a multitude, many of whom would pro- i bably have starved but for these generous do- < nations. A bureau of emigration has been or- 1 ganized and agents sent abroad, with the view 1 of inviting portions of - the toeruing population I of the Old world to 6eek homos on the gene- i rous and inviting soil cf South Carolina. The 1 merchant has replenished his vacant Blore- t bouse, the mechanic his machino shop, the < planter ind farmer, notwithstanding past dis- ! appointments, axe hopeful and industrious; i and a vigorous effort is being made by all class- 1 es to repair the disasters of a bloody and un- < successful war. - 1 Taxes sufficient to delray the ordinary and j extraordinary expenses of the Slate govern- ! ment have been paid. No combinations have I existed to defeat, by violence, the laws of tbe i land; and no riot between the white and color- . ed races has marred the peace and good order i which has prevailed in South Carolina friuce : the cessation of hostilities. Indeed, a degree i of tranquillity has marked our career, which may proudly challenge comparison not only i with any of tbe late Confederate States, but ; with any State.in the Union. i Within one year after the abolition of slav? ery the Legislature of our State voluntarily passed a '.Civil Rights bill,1* which secured to : the colored man all the rights enjoyed by any citizen-allowing him to sue an J be sued, and to give evidence in all cases. The traditional prejudice brought from the mother country, which had been nourished for ages, against Semitting any party in interest to give evi ence m any cause, civil or criminal, was broken down; and the law now invites testi? mony from every source which is calculated to evolve the wholo truth, leaving it to jurors and judges- to determine what credence shah be given thereto. From time to time measures for the relief of the people who were Buffering from the pres? sure of a large ante-war indebtedness were re? commended by me to the Legislature, but that body, in its wisdom, did cot think it proper to adopt these suggestions. A liberal homestead law, the abolition of imprisonment for debt, and the passage of an insolvent law which would wipe out all indebtedness on ihe sur rander, by the debt.ir, of his property, have been earnestly urged by me during my admin islntionj'but whilo failing in the General As? sembly to compass these most desirable ends, 1 am gratified to know that euch measures have been embodied in the new constitution. lt would also have been wise to incorporate in that ins rament a provision tor the scaling of debts contracted prior to and during the war down to the basis of the existing wealth and resourc?s of the country. No one will question that the w:ir destroyed more than one-half of tho value of property in the South, and since its close various causes have produced a de? preciation of one-half of the remaining half, so that the w?r.lth of the State is really reduced to one^fourth ol' its value prior to the war. Now, if an individual ch need, at the com mencment of the struggle, to have hie estate invented in loans on bonus and mortgagee, there certainly can be no justice or propriety i:i per? mitting him to recover tue tull amount of his property, dollar for dollar, when the very prop? erty upon which the credit was given hos per? ished m the hands of the debtor, not by his own act, but by the act of the Government and the casualties of war, for which the lender and borrower are equally responsible. There justice, equity or morality which wouldre that the note or bondholder, &rior to the should not suffer at least pro raia wit! debtor whose property was ruined--by th< 'amities and disasters of tbe same period. The present is also a fitting opportunit a brief review of my course since the pac of the Reconstruction acts of Congress, a tbe reasons influencing my condnct with i ence to them-the same not haying bi been presented. In Jinuary, 1867, at the instance of se of the leading citizens of the State, I vi Washington, and after a full conference leading senators and representatives ol' th? publican party, became satisfied that .mdt circumstances would they recognize the P dent's plan of restoration, and that'in the which CongreBB intended to adopt, the a native presented was either qualified or versal suffrage to the colored rac?. In of this .fact, the text of a constitut: amendment was prepared by seferal 1 ing' Southern statesmen then inj Wash ton, approved by many .Republicans', and i mitted to the Legislature of Norths Carol the hope that that body would aceepf the sc and request Congress to adopt in in lieu ol fourteenth article, or Howard amendment, however, failed in the North Carolina. On return to the City of Charleston, early FeDTuary, in an address deliveredh.to the ored people, I stated that I was inifavor of mitring the colored man to the right of frage who was able to read and wate, or ' possessed property to the value ot $250. E in March, the first Reconstruction fact of C press was passed, and on the 22d df the sc month -it was followed by a supplemental giving to the colored race universal suifra and dividing the ten Southern States i ?ve military districts. These gojrernmoi which had been brought into existence the plan of.the President, were declared to only provisional. The District Command were vested with such absolute power as mi the civil authority subservient to, and depe: ent upon, the military. In April following, au address made before the Charleston Boi of Trade, among other things, I said : "I vital question now presented to th? people 8outh Carolina, as well as to the people of I Southern States, is whether we shall acct the terms of these bills and endeavor carnes and in good faith to carry out their provisio or fold our arms in silence, apathy, iodifl" cnce and contempt, and d?termine to ta no step." Again : "While the Constitutioi Amendment was proposed to South Caroli as a State, and our own volition in that ca] city could be exercised, I opposed its adoptn but the act of Congress, recently pas ed, h assumed that this country is a conquer territory and we a conquered people, and cc Bequently that that body h-ts a right to diet terms. The power undoubtedly exists in tl body to dictate those terms; it is aecure'for t next two years; and when they place the: selves squarely and broadly upon that pit form, Itor one"do not propose to go to the S prenre Court or anywhere else for tHes-purpc of disputing that power; but in good faith will accept the terms, humiliating as' they m be, and - openly, fairly and honestly |j-ge th? adoption before our people." Again, tremar ed : "I wo aid, therefore, say to evewy man South Carolina, who has not been diffranchi ed, that as soon as the -proper order has bet issued, be should proceed to regis terihis ii am and go to the polls to vote for tbefbest mi who can be selected to form a Conscitutit ander which we and our posterity can Uve." Congress had taken the position that tl right, belonged to that body rather ?Man to tl President, to fix the conditions upon whic the Southern State? should be readmitted I the Union. Hence the pertinacity with whic they adhered to the Congressional plan, ar hence the passage of the act of July, im po sir still more stringent conditions tharr existed i the preceding law. Hence, .alco, the loni angry and unfortunate controversy betwc the President and Congres^-a, Quarrel i rrhich we nave been the sufferers. For ihre long years readmission into the Union an the right of representation has been'denie ns, and Congress having the power to er force their views, and tue President bein impotent to execute bis own plan, was : not wise for tbe South to accept that whic promised the speediest restoration to representation in Congress? Although man, rf our citizens were disfranchised, a surhciec nv nib er still were entitled to go to tho bollol box, and being eligible to official position, the ;ould have controlled the conventions by io telligence- and virtue, and moulded constitu Lions in all of the Southern States under whic. both races might have lived in harmony, tvas satisfied that our material prosperity, th leveiopment ot our resources, and tbe restore tiou of confidence and credit, could not bo se :ured until the political issues involved in th< question of reconstruction were settled, am tbe representatives of tbe South on the floor o Congress could make known her wants am protesc against her wrongs. Oar capital bat been swept away by hundreds of millions; : large number of our young men-the flower o the population-had been killed in the wai xii industrial employments were either cripplec jr broken up, and the widespread mit could only CEL. repaired by inducing capi talists from tu North and from Europe tc locate in our miqfet, and bring with them tbeii irtisans, merchaRs, mechanics, shipbuilders md others whose lebor is wealth itself. Th? struggle which impoverished us made thc North rich; and since the formation of thc ?overnment, capital ha? never been so abun? dant or so ready to embark in safe investments 1'et, for three lone years, both capital and emi? grants have been detened from seeking a rest? ing place in the South. Partisans, using ? partisan press tor partisan purposes, have rep? resented the South as being still m a condi? tion of quasi rebellion. Life has been de? bared to be insecure and property .uncer? tain. lt was said th.n Northern men, who had the temerity io seek homes in the South, were set upon by ruthless mobs md murdered. Every species of enormity was attributed to the Southern people to rabeerve political and partisan ends. The effect of euch misrepresentations upon us ha? been most disastrous. A few tourists have come to the State-a few adventurers, looking to political promotion, have rested here; but a comparatively small number have brought their capital and located with tho bona fide purpose of identifying themselves \|ith the ?tate and aiding her people to rebuild their broken fortunes. The appreciation in the raine of the stocks and bonds of the State within a few months past, furnishes con? clusive evidence of the correctness of the opin? ion that Northern capital would not be trusted in the South until representation in Congress was consummated. In January last, South Carolina Slate stocke and bonds were selling at twenty-two and twenty-five cents on the dollar. Now, with restoration assured, they are worth from sixty-two to sixty-six cents on the dollar. In the spring and summer of 1867. money readily commanded from two and a half to three per cent, per month. In the same mar? ket it is now readily borrowed at from three quarters to one per cent, per month: Objectionable as the Reconstruction acts, or the new constitutions, or the privilege of uni? versal suffrage to tho colored race,' mav have been, was it not the part ot wisdom, looking at the condition of affairs in the material sense to which I have referred, and to the fact that the domination of tho bayonet could not bo superceded hy the judge and the jury box, to have accepted these obnoxious measures, con? trolled as far as possible the Conventions, si-cured the best cuustiuuions, gained read? mission into the Federal councils, and trusted to the future to correct such errors, remove tuch bardens and rebuke such tyranny aa made odious either the acts ol Congress or tho constitutions or legislation of the States? Being myself firmly convinced of the pru? dence of such a policy, I enunciated tue senti? ments before the Board of Trade already quot? ed; and aa far aa possible, I have co-opoiatcd in good faith wiih the military authorities in carrying out the laws of Congress and promot? ing peace and order among the people. What? ever may be my individual opinion as to their constitutionality, it was my duly to recognize their validity until pronounced unconstitu tioual by the Supreme Court of the United States. When the election occurred for members of the Stato Convention, the white population of South Carolina, by their action at least, seemed to have adopted* opinion i adverse to those which I have expressed. Very few repaired to the polls to vote tor delegates to that body. Thero appeared to be a strauge delusion per? vading the public mind that the Convention would not meet, or if it did meet, that its ac? tion would be nugatory. It is, perhaps, tho first instance in the history of a free, intelli? gent people,where thc ballot haviug been giYon to them they have refused its exercise, and ab? dicated the power, the nghtB and privileges which their intellgence, experience and weailb would have enabled them to wield successfully. They ignored their opportunity, and surren dereel to ?trangers, and to the colorea almost exclusive!v. the selection of del to the Convention. If, therefore, the ( tion framed ie obnoxious, very many of 1 telligent white voters 'of the State mu that the fault is tbeir own. Their action haps, has been wiser than my advice, alone must decide. As has been stated in February, 1867,1 ed myself favorable to the ide i of conf qualified suffrage upon the colored rac was manifest that to that extent, at leas frage would be enforced. But a higher L moved me to make the enunciation. The colored population in South Carolin numbered the whites hy 120,000. Many < colored men enjoyed some educational* a tages, and others had accumulated pro; In making laws which wera to operate this entire class as well as upon the wh laws affecting the life, liberty, property pursuit of happiness of so considerable i jority of the population-was it just or that this class should be excluded fron voice in choosing the representative! to those laws? Would they have patiently tamely submitted to a system of laws i they had no agency in making; or to tax without representation^ If there had be open combinations to resist and defeat legislation, could secret societies, conspirt perjuries and assassinations have been vented? Would a single individual of class-be his intelligence and virtue wt may-have had any inducement tb co-opi in the enforcement of laws thus passed? These views which were regarded wit much odium only a brief year ago, when I firant- enough to make them public, are accepted by large and respectable orgai tiona of the white people in every acetic the State, and on that basis earnest efforts being made to obtain the support of the ored race. Looking even to the interest of that Congress, in my judgment, corr.mit te grievous mistake in bestowmg ripon it n.ai ssl suffrage. It may secure a temporary p triumph, but it will inevitably lay the iou; tion of a corrupt government-of corrup among voters and corruption among leg tors and ministerial officers. .Can it be expected that whole laws will e nate from legislators whose constituents : be ignorant and vicious ? Again, where large majorify of voters are ignorant, do i not thu3 become the instruments of con men, in elevating to power those who are terly unworthy of their suffrage ? How c: voter, whose mind is unenlightened by e: rience or intelligence, protect himself fi fraud or imposition-unable, as he will be discriminate between that which is false that which is true-that which is upright that which ie depraved ? Universal suffrage ia an evil which has b appreciated for many years, and the evil dolts from the fact that the ignorant voter ables the corrupt aspirant for office by brib< parsuasio i or importunity, to foist him into position, and then protect himself in tenure by means at once illegitimate and i honorable. It ia for these reasons that unit aal suffrage has been repudiated in severa the Northern Sutes. To confer the right, therefore, upon the lored people of the South-the large majoi of whom have just emerged from a condit of slavery, and who have 'not intelligence exercise the privilege-is a wrong done to cietyandjto tricolored man himself, wh must retard the civilization of this section many years to come. It has, however, b< imposed upon the South, and in my judgnu the evil will not be ameliorated except throe our own exertion?, aided by the efforts and : fluences of the more intelligent of the coloi race. It is very apparent that the Republican p ty, so long as they may retain power, wilf i here to universal suffrage. With their plan restoration carried into effect as it has bei the Republican party are now willing to let the question of suffrage to thc States the s?lveB, their polio? having placed tho party power, and it is vain to expect any restrict! while they remain in power. It is" equally it to anticip?t ; relief from the Democratic par The Republicans will have the^indiaput' d cc rrol of the government until the 4th ol .dare 1869. Even though the Democrats sncceed the-fall elections, and secure their Preside and the House of Representatives, there w still be a Republican majority of more th two-thirds in t'jg Senate, and that majori must continu; ii the present party divisio are maintaine I, i ntil the 4th of March, 181 Assuming, therc'ore, that all the intermedia elections shall be favorable to thc Democrat party, not until the 4th of March, 1871, c: they obtain control of the legislative ana e ecutive departments of the Government; ai not until then, whatever may be their dispoi tion, will they -possesB'the strength necessa: to limit this right of suffrage. When in po' er, however, how arc they to proceed in r moving the evil-what remedy can they appl; Will they repeal the Reconstruction acts 1SC7? The Convention in New Tcxk has avowed tl doctiine that the right of regulating suffrat belongs exclusively to the States. Upon th; issue, mainly within the laet six months, tl party have achieved their suoceeses over tl Republicans in tue North and West. In 1871 the Southern State governments wi have been in operation under these acts ft three years, and, to a certain extent, si ciety will have adapted .itself to the laws and requirements. Should thc Demi crate, under' these, circumstances, repei the Reconstruction acts, or should tl Supreme Court pronounce them uncor. stitutiono] and. declare the State organizi lions then existing void, wc shall be left i a condition of anarchy. If, on the other haut they declare them to be ?imply prorisiona what authonty will then determine the que: tion of suffrage? The.theory of the Democrat] uart y will be that the States themselves mu? do BO. Will the party in direct opposition t that theory, when they pase new Reconstruo lion acts, ignore the Southern Constitutions c 1868, and by their act declare against the rai frage of the colored man, either universal o qualified? Will not such action upon thei part bo directly in antagonism to then* profese ed principles, and their legislation be followinj directly in the footsteps of the Republican whom they censure so gravely for regulatinj suffrage in the States? Should the Supreme Court, declare the act unconstitional, and the State government void what government will be in existence ? Cai anarchy then be avoided without the interven' tion of Congress, and an invasion of tb right of tho State to reguhte this que* tion? Will the Constitutions of I860, or 1865 be declared in force; and will the officers in of? fice, when those Constitutions were superce ded in 18(38, be reinstated? It'so, which se of officers ? The terms of all or them will bavi expired. How will elections be ordered to fil their vacancies. Upon neither of the foregoing theories cai the right ot suffrage in tho States be regulatec otherwise than by Congress. Does any reflect ing man believe for a moment that Congress in 1871, will remit these States to a territoria and chaotic condition, and require us to gc through a new process of restoration ? Th< Southern people need mot delude themselves with falee expectations. When the time ar? rives, if tho Democratic party are in power and the regulation of suffrage in the States if the recognized principle, depend upon it, thc statu quo then existing will not be disturbed by Congress. "What, then, are we to rely opon to relieve thc body politic from tho serious injury which is to result from the continuance ot univerttol suffrage, with so much ignorance prevailing among tuc voters? In my judgment, the reme? dy is exclusively with ourselves. It will prove illusory to rely upon heip emanating from any other source. Intelligence and wealth have heretofore, in ail sections of the Union, sooner or later, controlled thc votes of thc ignoran, and thc dependant, and in time thc saiuo re? sult will follow herc. That the colored vote should have sustained the Republican party, ia the recent elections, is not surprising, especially when it is remem? bered that the party was solidified by the or? ganization of another party, whose principles, as avowed, looked to the repudiation, or at least to the abridgement of the elective fran? chise, which Congress has granted to the color? ed man. When he was called upon to cast bis ballot, and the issue presented was to i sustain the party which had first proclaimed j his freedom" enacted the Freedman's Bureau i and Civil Rights bill, which had extended to him thc riglit of universal suffrage, aud was theo struggling to maintain its existence against the party, which in Congress and else? where had opposed all these privileges-when to vote in opposition to Republican ideas was to voluntarily renounce the elective franchisa so much esteemed as a public boon-it was not at all surprising that the bolla: of the colored man wa? cast, nearly as a unit, against the advice and influence cf the great majority o? inewnite popuimiuu ui Northern States. When thi 8 qneet?on of frage ia settled, he will learn that his friends and safest advisers, are those whom from childhood he has hen aast ted in the varions relations of Many of the colored people will soon trjn to acquire property, and they wil once appreciate the identity of political personal interest between themselves and white race. This interest, combined wit disappearance of that prejudice sud diet which now exists, will, if they are kindly fairly treated, induce them heartily to operate with the whites, in imposing e restrictions upon the right of suffrage ae secure society against tumult, disorder anc cious legisla ion. To the white, and to the telligent colored mau alone, therefore, am no external power, do I look for a limitatioi tho right of suffrage, and ita establishT upon the basis of an educational or prop? qualification. Should they fail, however,*! will control and direct the vote of the ig rant, and thus exert a conservative influe upon the welfare of the State. , The evils of universal suffrage, which h already largely developed themselves, will a few months, teach the colored race the m instructive lessons, especially in those dis tri ? in which*they have a majority. The ambit of adventurers of their own race, and the lt of notoriety possessed hy many natives, hi induced large numbers of them to become c? didates for offices, legislative, ministerial a judicial. When called upon to perform the < rions duties of these offices, it will be foti that their lack of education, information a training, will utterly disqualify them from ho ing positions so responsible. As a con: quence, the country will be overrun w inefficient and incompetent officers, a the public interest and the peace of socie will alike be jeopardized by their incapaci The meritorious and intelligent of the color population, whose interests are identified wi those of the white race, will themselves so appreciate these facts, and realize the gra mistake that has been made in elevating to j sition a class of persons unfitted therefi They will likewise perceive that the evil c only be corrected by restricting the privil? of the ballot-box to those who have intel trence sufficient to endble them to judge'bf ti fitness and capacity of those who may aspi to represent them. Hence ?his class will prepared to unite cheerfully with the whi race in imposing the restriction which expel ence will demonstrate to be necessary. A corrupt magistrate, or an ignorant co: stable, has it in his power sorely to annoy ai oppress the poor -those whose contracts a limited to small sums, and upon whom main the jurisdiction of officers of this grade will 1 exercised. An incompetent sheriff involv his sureties in ruin, entails loss upon parti who have executions in his hands, and narra ses the public by an inefficient discharge of b duties. The same remark applies to all oth officers. Experience han demonstrated th there can be no greater curse* inflicted upon community than incompetent officials, whom is entrusted the expounding and e: forcement ot the law, and the preservation peace. The first and heaviest sufferers undi the ex. sting condition of affairs are likely to 1 the col red people themselves. The Reconstruction acts have given to ti five military commandera almost absolute pot er in the Southern States. The power to ena? laws by order, to remqve all classes of officer and to appoint others, unquestionably const tuted the military superior to civil anthont. In performing the duties of the Executive < the State, therefore, I have sought t avoid collision with this assumed superk power, and thereby secure the least inte: terence with the civil administration of tl government. I have invited no c introversa and provoked no antagonism, and it is my dut and pleasure to say that, in the main, the mil tory have rarely interfered with the officers c the State in tho performance of their dutiei Tue present military commander has mel interfered with the administration-of th criminal law, and where appeals have been ac dressed to him to interpose his authority he has invariably referred them to me io final decision. The Judges of the Court c Appeals, the Circuit Judges, (with a single ex ception), and all the Chancellors, concurrinj in the- views above expressed, have yielder obedience to such military orders as hav been issued, and a similar spirit of co-opera tion has been exhibited by all other executive judicial and ministerial officers. This course in my judgment, has been eminently wise It has secured then retention of the officer: elected by thc people themselves, a~d the ex oration and enforcement of their own laws. I: obedience had been refused by any depart ment, chere can be no doubt that "removal: would have taken place, and strangers appoint I ed to fill the vacancies. Every officer in rh? State, therefore, who could conscientious!; I carry out the military orders, has rendered ai essential service to the people in that he hat relieved the citizen from what in all probability would have been a much more rigorous ant oppressive administration of military law ii case of the exhibition of any contumacy. In adopting this general line of policy, ant endeavoring to carry ont,, in good faith, th? provia'ons of the reconstruction Acts, I wai satisfied that the citiz :ns would be better pro? tected in person and property than if the civi structure was oveturned, and, in lieu of it, ar exclus vely mihtary government was establish? ed. I have io mri the military at all tim et ready to co-operate, cheerfully and efficiently with the civil authority,- whenever they hav< been called upon so to % id thc course ol conciliation pursued *. . enabled mete intervene, for the no citizen,. ii whose case the j. military authority might have >.- - . .?. _ reavive. By 'this course of conciliation L L\VC been enabled tc effect modifications of military orders th-t might hive borne heavily upon communities. By this course of conciliation, the taxes imposed by the militar;.'have not cniy Leen materially reduced, but levied upon a more equitable and acceptable basis than heretofore. By this course of conciliation, I have benn enabled to secure thc usual support for the public institu? tions, and they have been fostered and encou? raged. Fublie improvements have- not been arrested, but pushed forward to a state of completion. And. finally, harmony and peace have beeu preserved, and the great interests of the commonwealth been promoted, so that the. people ot the State have not materially ex? perienced the usual inconveniences of military rule. And I now repeat, what has already been stated,-uamely, that the peace of society, the liberty of the "citizen, the protection ?l person and property, the usual avocations and employments of the citizen, and the regular administrati m of justice, have been mteriered with and obstructed as ht t le in South Carolina as in any other of the ten States under military rule. The Executive might have resigned, or have refused to rccoguize the Acts of Congress, and the military orders, and have been removed. The Judges of the Courts ot Appeal, cf the Circuit Courts, and of the Court cf Chancery, District officers, tax-collectors, magistrates, and others, might have adopted a similar poli? cy. But what would have been tuc result ? Their places would have been filed by sti an? gers, having neither interest cor sympathy with cur popu.atiou; cr there would have been established "an t.bsciute military gc-vernment, with bayonets and r vost courts to enforce niilitaty ir.w, io affviw protection demand? ed by tue various classed *;n the' coinrr,uruiy. It m*ay bc, that those holding official position in Soutb Carolina, who haYO adopted the course which has been pursued, have acted unwisely; but it it doubtful whether a conscientious man can bc found within the limits of thc State, who will rn,: admit that, by this policy, the citizen ha? been protected Ircm the arbitrary oppressions of the-bajor.et power. ?Lt remains j for the people io say wh :tiier tiieir executive.

I may have committed grave errors of Judgment: but in every sphere in which I lave acted, it has been my aim to protect and promote the interests of the people of South. Carolina. In common with all public men, my motives have been impugned and my actions: misrepresented. Harsh and unjust criticism, has oiten followed the most earnest efforts to accomplish good; but I have lived long enough to be rewarded by the success of many meas? ures and opinions, which have outlived the censure bestowed upon them and their a^thor While some have shown an antagonism which, was undeserved, I have received sympathy and support from many kind fri'nds, who, in the darkest moments, have never relaxed their confidence in the earnestness and .honesty of purpose with which I have sought to adminis? ter public affairs. Especially during the last three years, in which I have acted as the. Governor of South Carolina, under embarrassments unknown to any of my predecessors, I have encountered prejudices, whose bitterness time alone can assuage, and whosi injustice rime alone will obliterate. Conscious, however, of a rectitude of purpose, feeling that Providence had placed me in a position which would enable me to serve the people of South Carolina, and per? haps spare them the infliction of many of the. evils incident to absolute military authority, I have pursued my convictions, regardless or Hie threats of enemies, or the importunities of Mends.
