A late report on the Norwe? gian fisheries says that it "is so little thought ?of by the inhabitants that they pass and re pass it in their sail vessels at all states of the tide, except at certain times in the winter sea? son, and far from drawing in whales and other tilings that com3 within its range, appears to le a favorite resort of the fish of the country, sud the fishermen reap a rich piscatorial har west from rta bosom. The greatest rate of the tide in winter does not exceed six miles an lour." m -Hon. John W. Stevenson was inaugurated i -aa Governor of Kentucky on Tuesday, Septem- ~~ 1er L From bis inaugural address we quote ?' the following : "Kentucky has never been faith- 'n less in her allegiance to the Federal Govern- ?* ment. In the future, as in the past, she looks fo 1 to the maintenance of the constitution as the 'best security for peace, liberty and happiness. Her people will yield a ready and patriotic obe? dience to all laws of Congress constitutionally enacted. But of equal and incalculable impor? tance ia the inviolability of-the reserved rights of the States. Of these the right of every State to regulate its own domestic ard inter? nal affairs has never been, until recently, questioned. The enjoyment of such a right is directly essential to the integrity, if not the very existence of the State Government. In the language of one of the mess: ?gos of our earlier Presidents, 'My experience in public concerns, and the observations of i life some? what advanced, confirmed the opinion long since imbibed by me, that the destruction of our State Governments, or tho annihilation of their control over the local concerns of the peo? ple, would lead directly to revolution and an? archy, and finally to despotism and military domination. In proportion, therefore, as the General Government encroaches upon the rights of the State 3, in the same proportion does it impair its own power and detract from its abil? ity to fulfil the purposes of its creation.' I will not believe that any such usurpation will be ever attempted upon the rights of Kentucky. But I should be Mae to the spirit of her people in their past and present devotion to the Con? stitution and Union of these States, if I did not solemnly avow that no such usurpation can ever be made with impunity." CHARLESTON. TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 8,18?8. For Prenaient...HORATIO SEYMOUR. For vice-President.FRANCIS P. BLAIR. The Elective Franchise. To the People of South Carolina: It was referred to the State Central Execu* tiv? Committee, by the late Democratic Con? vention, to inquire into the disabilities im? posed, by reason of the war, upon a portion of j our people, restraining them from the exer? cise of the elective franchise in South Carolina, and to publish the conclusion attained, for the information of tho people of the State. The committee in discharge of that duty, announce that they have examined the subject, and beg to state : 1. That no such disabilities now exist by or under the acts of Congress, known as the Re? construction act, the State having been of? ficially declared to be in the Union. 2. That nb. such disabilities exist under the so-called amendment, known as the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution of tho United States, the disabilities therein expressed hav? ing reference to office-holding, and not : to voting. S. That no such disabilities exist by the so called State Constitution of 1868, under which it is claimed that the State has been recon? structed and restored to the Union. - The undersigned, therefore, announce that no such disabilities exist by force of any law, or supposed law, or authority whatever; and they urge their hitherto disfranchised fellow citizens, in every part of the State, to exercise their right to vote at the corning election for President and vice-President, of which right they have been BO long deprived by military power. By order of the EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. Tlie Roaecra.ni fil Ls? lon. - The letter of General ROSECRANS and the reply signed by General LEB, General BE AU KEG ARD, the Hon. A. H. STEPHENS, ex joverner PICKE.VB, Ex-Governor. LETCHER, md other distinguished Southern gentle nen, contain nothing of striking or of new it was natural that General ROSECRANS should feel that consolidation, semi-anar jhy and a gigantic national debt were ruin? ing the nation; and it was equally natural that he should desire tb know whether the people of the South were willing to "pro 'tect, educate and elevate the peor freed' 'men," and to apply themselves with the chivalrous devotion of old to restoring the leaco and prosperity of our common coun ry. ? But it was impossible that this vete ran soldier should state his views more lefinitely and eloquently "than they have De en stated bj that grand convention which represented North and South, East and (Vest; end it was impossible that the noble ;entlernen, who joined in the response iould say more than has been said during 'our years by ten millions of people. Venerating, as we do, the namee| of LEE ind BE \ UKI a ARD , we were at first inclined e doubt the necessity of again dedaring hat slavery and secession are dead; that it s to the interest of the whites to extend to he negroes care and protection; that there i no hostility towards the. negroes in the louth, and that our great want is peace, lad the Southern people been without a oioe,-had they been sb gagged that no tublic journal could speak in their behalf, nd that no public meeting could be held, t which they might announce their wishes nd set purposes,-had their tones been so ruffled and choked that they could not be leard beyond the confines of their own towns nd villages-then it would have been most ertainly just and meet that one more pub io declaration should be made of their topes and their desires.. But the South had spoken and had been eard. In the halls of her Legislatures, lore than three years ago, slavery was boHshed forever and the ordinances of eceseion were repealed; in the National .emocratio Convention, held in July, the une principles were affirmed in the pres? s?e and with the approval of delegates ad representative men from every State i the Union. The South could not have een more emphatic than she has been upon ie two great issues of the war-secession ad slavery. Nor bas the South been less explicit and utspoken in regard to the colored people, y law they were our slaves; by law we lade them free; without law it was sought > make them our masters. To them was tven the political power which was denied ) us, and, instigated by designing knaves, tey were insolent in manner, overbearing i conduct, and unmindful of their every ^ligation. Yet the South did not turn pon and rend them. It treated the negroes 5 it would have treated wayward children, he Southern people bore with the infami? es of their former slaves, looked with a erciful eye upon their errors, and were jt provoked by idleness, insolence, or even .irae, to measure out to them the puniss? ent they undoubtedly deserved. They were )t held responsible for what they did, and a thousand counties and in the columns a hundred public journals there were und, not threats and menaces, but words of counsel, encouragement and deepest kindly feeling. Our people knew that it was to the interest of the freedmen to be the friends of the whites, as it was to the interest of the whites to educate and im? prove the freedmen. They have acted upon their knowledge, and have established, by their own conduct, the important fact that thfl South has been, is, and will be, the only ^ true friend of the freedman. And if the words of the South have been | ] bold and straightforward, upon the subject of the present and future relations of the | j white and colored races, they have also been candid and Bincere in their cry for a lasting peace. When the Southern soldiers laid down their arms, they Bwore to support the Constitution of the United States. They did this without evasion or mental reserva? tion. They had fought and had been con? quered. They accepted the terms of sur? render and have abided by them. They j did not, however, give up their every right t as freemen and white citizens. In their paroles they were promised protection under the laws, and when they had renewed their oath of allegiance, when they had complied with all the conditions which were imposed upon them, they believed them selves to be entitled to all their'immunities and privileges under the Union and const! tution. They sheathed their swords that J peace might ceme; they destroyed, with c. their own hands, chattels to the value of three hundred million of dollars that peace might come. This was not all. When Con? gress, with the banner of revolution wav- , ing over its head, pressed forward to de- J stroy the liberties of the whole country; when it deprived of his birthright every prominent man of honor in the South; when it ruled us by the sword, imprisoned our chieftains, deposed our judges, an? nulled our laws and insulted our women- i the Southern people suffered in silence, still t praying for peace. They did not look for peace by the instrumentality of ignorant negroes and vicious white vagabonds; they did not look for peace by a destruction of jj the constitution; they did not look forpeaoe S by the acts of a usurping and corrupt na? tional legislature. They demanded peace c as they demand it now, that they might rc- s build their ruined cities, make bright their waters with the sails of commerce, hear or.ee more the hum of trade iu crowded streets. For peace the South, now and ever, will give up all save honor. But the North would not be satisfied, and now to the declarations of the Southern people-by their own voice, by the public press, by three years of magnanimous for? bearance;-that they will employ and pro? tect the freedmen, that they only ask for a restoration of their rights under the con? stitution, and that, when the right of self government is given to them, they will be devotedly loyal to the constitution of their country, and fulfil every dnty incumbent on peaceful citizens, are added the words of c such men as BEAUREGARD and LEE. The N rank and file of the South had already spo- ? r, ken; now their leaders, led by the man upon I J whose truth and integrity the North has cast no stain, speak out to vindicate and | *] explain the purposes of themselves and of their people. If the North has not be? lieved the words of the millions of men, it may still believe the words of those whom | pj it has regarded as our master-minds and 3 jr advisers. The name of LEE will hav? eli its wonted effect, and although we are op- pi posed to talking too often and saying too ^ much, we still believe that, under the cir- re ;umstances, the now famous ROSECRANS th nission will go far to convince the people if the North and West that they have been frightened by a bugbear, and that the South JJ the friend of the freedman, the friend of peace, and, although the foe of Radicalism, t?? i steady supporter of the Union under the 81 institution.
