C., December 16, 1868.-THE SENATE to-day dispatched considerable basi /ness, with. little or no discussion. Tho first interesting movement was the introduction of the following, by Swails, from Williamsburg;: Whereas, On the 21st day of September, 1868, during a special session of the General Assembly, the Senate did, by resolution, sus? pend Senator Charles P. Leslie, of Barnwell County, for the period of six months ; and whereas the Senate is of the opinion that fur? ther suspension is unnecessary, and with a view to admitting Barnwell County t$ repre? sentation, therefore, Resolved, That BO mach of said resolution as suspends Senator Charles P. Leslie for six months, be and is hereby rescinded. -Swails moved that the rules be suspended and the resolution considered immediately. Objection toing made, the resolution was or? dered for consid?ration to-morrow. The "irrepressible" will no doubt resume his scat to-morrotf. The Honse having returned with con?WTence I in the Senate's amendments the bill to fae:!'- j tate the drawing of jurors in this State, the bill was read a third time, passed, the title changed to that of an act, and ordered to be engrossed. Mr. Rodgers presented the petition of the ^^jial Commissioners of the new Comity of PickenS, appointed under ordinance ol th? Constitutional Convention of 1868, asking a temporary loan from the State Treasury to enable them lo complete the public buildings. Referred to the Committee on Finance. Mr. Rodgers, also presented the petition of ??! Citizens of the h?w T?WB of Pjckens, in the County of Pickens, to grant them a charter ef i incorporation, with the usual powers and pri vi- J leges. Referred ta the Committee on IncGrpo Tifl?n*. Jlr. Corbin presented the petition of practi? cing attorneys and solicitors of Marlboro' County, praying that the office of Master and (3onrmi88ioner in Equity be continued in exis? tence until the first day of January, 1870. Re? ferred to the Crjnunittee on the Judiciary. Mr. Jillson reported favorably on the peti? tion of J. K. Linder, of Colleton County, S. C., and James "Wilson, of Anderson County, S. C., praying for the removal of their political disa? bilities. Ordered for consideration to-mor? row. _ Mr. Jillson, from the Committee on Engros? sed Bills, reported* a biU to ratify, confirm and amend the charter of the Charleston, South Carolina, Mining and Manufacturing Company, which was read a third time and passed. A bill to provide for the payment of the fees of sheriffs for dieting prisoners confined in jail received its second reading, was considered by sections, agreed to, and ordered to be en? grossed for a third reading. Mr. Arnim, from the Committee on Incorpo? rations, to whom was referred a bill to incor? porate the Calvary Baptist Church, of the city cf Charleston, reported back the same with a recommendation that the bill do pass. Mr. Hoyt gave notice of a bill to incorporate the Colombia Bunding and Loan Association. The following bills were introduced in the Senate and received then* first reading : By Wright-A bill to regulate the home? stead in certain cases; also, property under de? crees of the Courts of Equity and Circuit Com ts. By Rainey-A bill relative to fees of clerks and sheriffs". Messaged Nos. 7 and 8 from the Governor were announced, and read as follows : STATE or SOUTH CAROLINA, ) EXECUTIVE DEPAETMKNT, 8. v COLTJMBIA, December 15, 186 ) 3b the Honorable the President of the Senite : SIB-The delay in transmitting my report in relation to the University nf South Carolina has been occasioned by my desire to avail myself of the results of the deliberations of tbe Board of Regents, at its recent annual meet? ing, on tbe condition and prospects of the in? stitution. I gather from the prevalent tone of ?hose discussions, and also from the opinions of intelligent citizens from various portions of tho State, that a very general impression pre? vails-that there should bo au essential modifi? cation in the constitution of the governing body of the University-the Board of Trustees. At present it consists of thirty-eight members, of which eighteen are eiroffcw, tnclnding the Governor and Lieutenant-Governor of the State, the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the chairman of the Committees of Education of the Senate and House of Representatives, re? spectively, tbe Judges of the Court of Appeals, the Circuit Judges ol the Courts of Law, and the Chancellors, and twenty other persons elected by joint ballot of the General Assem? bly, to hold their office for fonr years, and until others sb all have been elected. The cumbrous and unwieldy character of the board, as at present constituted, detracts ma? terially from its efficiency and usefulness. Where responsibility ;is divided and deputed among so many, it is almost inevitable that it .Should to lightly appreciated; and engaged as many of the trustees are mother important Subhc duties, and residing at a considerable istance from the capital of the State, it is not Jo be wondered at that their obligations con? nected with this appointment, often merely complimentary, should be frequently over? looked and neglected. To such an extent has this been earned that important meetings of the board have had to be repeatedly postponed for want ot a quorum, although but niue mem? bers of the thirty-eight were requisito for tho parp?se. It has been suggested that the remedy for this evil is the substitution of a board of five or seven trustees, selected for their special capacity and aptitude for the position, and who would be willing to devote more of their time and attention to the impor? tant trust confided to them. It has also been suggested that the internal regulations of the University would be more satisfactorily managed if the election of tbe chairman of the faculty was left to tho mem? bers of the faculty themselves. The experience of the past two years admonish? es us that some changes in the tuition foes aro necessary to popularize the University, and bring its advantages within the reach of the greatest possible number of studonts. Thc ??resent charge of twonty-five dollars per term or each academical school, with ten dollars ad? ditional for tho library to each student, whether used by him or not, prevents many of tho youth of the State from anjoying the edu? cational advantages of the institution. It is deemed advisable, therefore, to reduce the tuition fees for each school to one-half tho present amount, and a corresponding diminu? tion ia tbe charges for the library and other extras. In order, however, that the professors em? ployed shall be insured a reasonable compen? sation for then- services, it is recommended that an appropriation be mide by the State of two thousand dollars per annum for each of them, and also to allow them th? additional snm of five hundred dollars per annum from the fees for tuition, should a sufficient amount be received tor that purpos?; and if not, then the amoant so received shall be divided among the professors pro rata. All monies received for tuition fees, and other sources of revenue, shall be deposited wiih the treasurer, and ac? counted for in his anaual report, or at any time when called on by the Board ot Trustees. The Board of Trustees have authorized a committee of the body, if deemed advisable, to arrange with the State for the increase of ire: scholarships, on the basis of annual appropri? ations for the salaries of the faculty. A small appropriation, say about six hundred dollars, is required for necessary repairs to tho University buildings. I have submitted briefly such suggestions in reference to the University as I doem impor? tant to its prosperity and the public interests, and earnestly invite to them your careful con? sideration, pledging myself to cheerfully co? operate in carrying out the policy whichmay be designated by you. There aro many matters of detail which will appropriately como up for the action of the new Board of Trustees, should the changes re? commended be acrnpted by you. Verv respectfully. ROBERT E. SCOTT, Governor. Referred to the Committee on Education, and ordered to be printed. STATE OF SOUTH CA BOLINA, ) EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.

Labor-saving machines are now an estab? lished fact, in thi6 progressive agc. 'tho man who does his lamins: by hand-machines, falls far behind, ia thc amount of labor dono and the ?ops harvested, thc oue who uses his steam-plough, mower, reaper, &c. The sail vessel, cannot compete with tho steamer, the horse car with thc steam engine, nor tho hand press with tho Hghtuing Ho?. So with the sewing mathino. Not one-half the labor is now required to prepare !hegarments and household "goods, compared with that up to twenty years ago. Thc ase is emphatically an age of invention, of labor-saving ma? chinery; and those who neglect to toko ad? vantage of them, are, as yet, in the darkness of barbarism. No one other inventiou has done so much to lighten womans toil as the sewing ma? chine. This is now so generally ackuowedged, that a house without a lnac'bino is to be pitied. The nexl thing to having a machine ol some kind is to have o.io which will ba a per mament investment, a lasting helpmate Among those offered to the public, the Willcox & Giobs '"G" machine is claimed to possoss many points of interest above all others, amone; which are simplicity, non-liabilty to get out ot order, quiotnes3 of operation, case of working and management, rapidity cf exe? cution, impossibility of turning backwards non-liability to miss stitches or break thc thread, haring a straight necdlo and tho shortest ono in use, its needle being cc'f-adjusling and easily set, requiring no under-thread and no re-winding, the simplici? ty of its tension, and tho ease of managing it, its moro periect adaptation to all capacities, doing beautiful tmbroidery bv a more chango or spools, making the best stitch for general purposes, it? seam being the strongest and most elastic, the scam being automatically fastened by tho machine, its seam being less liable to rip in use or wear tran tho "lock stitch," while it can be more easily taken out, if desired. Last .y, in having the "bestbemraers and other atacjments. It has been a little over eight years since the Willcox & Gibb3 was placed in the market, and upwards of eighty thousand machines have already been made "and sold a number fifty per cent". larger thau were sold of any double-thread macbine in the same number of its earliest years. Such suceess, it is reasonable to conclude, could not have been achieved if the machine had not really possesed the merit claime J. Especially would this hare been impossible, had the stitch been found unreliable, or in any way unsatisfactory. In premiums and testimonials, probably no machine in the country bas been more succee ful. The Willtox & Gibbs Sewing Machine Company, in New York, have recently taken the largo building, corner of Bond-street aed Broadway, and fitted it up-or rather, rebuilt it internally-in a.most elegant manner, fora salesroom, to accommodate their rapidly in? creasing business.-[.-Idol. _ QLflmmerri?l.
