He remembers the ball a: the Ferry, And the ride, and the gate, and the vow, And the rose that you gave him-that very Same rose he ls treasuring now: (Which his blanket he's kicked on his trunk, Miss, . And insists on his legs betng free; And his language to me from Ms bunk, Miss, ls frequent and painful and free.) He hopes you are wearing no willows.

[From the Abbevlde Press.] The Governor's message is temperate ar Conservative in tone, and makes fair promis tbat the government will be administered wu. an eye single io the general good. Recognizing the existe, cc of a strong opposition, embodying a large part or the wealth and Intelligence of the State, the Governor pledges himself that past dif? f?rences shall be forgotten, and that in the execu? tion of the laws he will recognize neither party nor class, but wiU protect tho rights and privi? leges of all, and invokes the support of all good citizens. In so' far as these pledges may be re? deemed, the Executive will merit, and we trust be will receive, sympathy and cordial co-opera? tion. Is He Sincere. [From th? Cu ion Times.] For one, and we believe we bnt speak the feel? ings of all the Kerorm people of Union, we shall be glad to co-operate with Governor Scott in the accomplishment ot his professions of anxiety for peace; bot we have bad no evidence that he 1B sincere in those professions. The outrages lately committed are but the Inevitable results of the incendiary teachings or malicious law and order defying men or Governor Scott's own party; and lr. almost every Instance the disturbances were commenced by those who had been incited to lt by the Radical leaders. When Gove nor Scott evinces a disposition to respect the rights .f all by arresting snch men as Joe Crews, who, lt can and will be proved, instigated the deluded colored people to bring on the riot at Lauren?, he will soon find the whole people of the State, irrespective of party, gathering around bim to aid in Btopplng disturbances and restoring peace and order. It he la so anxious to arrest men who commit outrages, why ls not Trial Justice Fleming, of Spartanbnrg, and bis accomplices amste.1 for their outrage upon old Mr. Mc Ar? thur ' "Why has ncchlng been done with Scott's own soldiers who tired into Mr. Gallman's boase? Nearly every mail brings us accounts of out rages committed by Radicals, in burning houses, barns, beating and even killing of Reformists allover the State, but we have seen no disposi? tion in Scott or his officials to bring the perpe? trators of these dastardly acts to Justice; but when Joe Crews, Fleming, or any one of that party complains to Scott, their ex parte state? ments are accepted, and forthwith warrants are uv-ued to arrest as many of the best citizens of a county as these riot Instigators may select. The oath ol the oldest, most respectable and conscientious man in ibe State ls set aside when the bare word of such violent and unprincipled partisans Is given in. So long as this partisan and'malicious disposition continues towards the Reformists of South Carolina, Governor Scott must not hope to reconcile the people to his ad? ministration; nor can he expect the Reformists to aid him In arresting men who commit outrages upon bis party friends, while he protects and takes to ms bosom those who, too cowardly themselves, incite others to cqminlt outrages uponT.. -formlsts. we r :ain unequivocally assert that the Reform people ol thc npper counties are as peaceable and quiet as any people upon the American Continent ; but there are a number or evil disposed Radicals among us, who appear to make lt their business to create disorder, magnify cowardly thoughts Into personal dangers, aud then run to headquar? ters, to report rebel outrages, where thev know their zeal tor the party win be acknowledged and rewarded according to the magnitude of the tale they nnTold. If Governor Scott, berore he adopts any coercive measures, will honestly and Impar tinily bear both sides, he will then be likely to Judge.of the csu:s of a disturbance, and better abie to see the effect of any action he may take in the matter. We want peace, we want quiet and safety bi oar homes, but we do not see how they are to be obtained by protecting partisan Instigators of disorder, and arming the follow- I ers ot these Dad men, or by arresting citizens at the mouth of a cannon. Peace so obtained can be but temporary, because lt ls compulsory. Tho Reason* for Regret and Distrust. [From the Anderson Intelligencer.] The inaugural ls temperate In language and moderate ha spirit, and as a political opponent of Its author we take occasion to commend the fair promises therein contained, which, ir ralthrully carried out, will bring about that prosperity whlcn flows from peace. We can only regret that the Chief Executive has so lately reached the con? clusion that bis office is to administer the law without reference to party or class, and while ac? cepting his declarations to this effect, we cannot Ignore the lecord of his past administration, which naturally enough throws distrust uoon his rn: ure course. We Shall See. [From the Georgetown Times.] The Governor talks ralrly enough, seems to be really desirous or peace aud "pledges hlmseir to every legitimate effort Tor the accomplishment or this desirable result." But we have learned todls tingnlsh between promise and performance, and the Governor being upon trial for two years longer before the people, must stand or fall uy his acts. We shall see. Two Good and Sensible Acts. [From the Lexington Dispatch.] Governor Scott In bis inaugural and annual messages, gives promises of administering the government or the State for the welfare of the whole p -opie He utters many good sentiments. If he comet np to his promises, it wilt be the duty of every good citizen ba the State to sustaia him by w<?rd ant deed. When we recollect his recent course is Csbandlng the negro militia, partially at least, ant", dismissing all but' four of the con? stabulary, ve recognize two good and sensible acts within a short time. Magnanimous Sentiments. [From the Winnsboro' News.] The tone pf Governor Scott's message ls excel? lent, and ita recommendations, though none or them involving grear, change, are good, in his its declarations are concerned, not as partisan as might nave been ex pe? ted. lt ia apparent, that the abuses which the Re? form party so vehemently exposed dnring the late campaign, are of such a nature as to require the Governor to ad minister a gentle, but needful rebukeio his legislators, in every Instance, and w'e note with pleasure his knowledge of the more flagrant instances of impositions upon our people, and his recommendations for their removal. We hope that inasmuch as Governor Scott has taken a stand in favor oT more impartial and equal legislation, the General Assembly will hold up his hands, and endeavor to advance the State towards that prosperity which we all so much need, and which he says is his chief sim and ob? ject. SOUTHERN CREDIT. TheXauke of Depression anti thc Means ol" Kt >torat ion. [From the New York Bulletin.] It is unfortunate for the South that, at a time when the reconstruction of Its finances was required the control of Its State arlairs should have fallen into the hands of mere political ad? venturers. There was a time when it was a suffi? cient gmv antee of a Southern State obligation that it was hacked by Southern men ol' inflexible honor and conspicuous integrity. At present, lhere ls scarcely a State In the South whose debts have this sert of backing. For the last Uve years the finances of the several States have been con? trolled by men who have acquired position through the political vicissitudes consequent upon the war. with no experience In statesman? ship or finance, and no record but that of adven? turers, these men have undertaken to readjust the revenues and debts of the States. We know what we say when we amrm that the main object with these raw financiers has not been the good credit of the State, but the manipulation of the finances BO as to produce the largest possible gains out or speculation. Their schemes have been, in most cases, hatched in Wallstreet banking houses; and the legislators, governors and officials have been paid tools for carrying out the plans of shrewd bankers. The main point aimed at was to produce the widest possible fluctuations In thc prices of the State bonds, irrespec live of the Interests of ' the State, the par? ty to be "milked" bein.' the innocent, public. Most of the States have found lt necessary to issue new obligations to provide for their over? due bonds or their unpaid interest. These uew issues have in most casts been put out by secret sale on the marker, and in amounts known only to the negotiat rand the clique. In anticipation of the Issue the parties to the secret would fell ou time targe amounts of the State securities, and so soon as the new bonds had been marketed, the fact would be announced with the result of a heavy fall in the market value or the obligations, affording the "ling" speculators an opportunity for covering their previous large sales. In other instances a legislative- "ring" has authorized large issues ot bonds to railroad sch-, me?, fi r which ther? was no necessity arising out of the commerce of the State.. These loans had the double speculative advantage of involv? ing large contracts for building the roads and of yielding a protlt on the manipulation of the bond market, the gains on both operations lading into' the hands or the clique. In other Instances the political speculators have sought illicit gains through factitious expedients for stimulating thc credit of the State, in these cases they would first or all buy throngh New York capitalists large amounts or the] obligations, and then augment the taxes to retire unexpectedly a considerable amount of debt, and. as a .-iii: further cxpedieut, compel certain corporations doing basinet* within the State to hold a considerable amount of the state obligations, which the corporations hud to buy from tue clique. To our certain knowledge. State ollkials have contrived to make large profits directly through commissions paid by the bankers negotiating I loans for the State. We know of Instances where finance officers have boldly proposed. In letters to New York bankers, to give large commissions on the sale of securities, provided rhe allowance should be divided with them. And equnllv possi? ble would lt be to cite ins: anees in which ? gover? nor or a comptroller have deliberately involved the State in advances j pen secret issues of obli? gation, the effect of which could only be to em? barrass the finances and weaken the credit of the government We allude to this discreditable management of State finances at the South for no other purpose than tu promote public investigation and tu re? deem the credit of the Southern governments from the faithless hands Imo which it hus- fallen. A knowledge of these abuses ought to suffice for their overthrow and for the banishment of po? litical speculators from public position. There N but one means or restoring the credit of the Southern States, viz. the restoration of unim? peachable Southern citizens of thc old standard to representative and official po.-itions. - Men or wealth and ability and character cannot afford to stand sullenly by and witness the degradation of their State by interlopers and adventurer. They have an Interest in their section which the new element have not and canuot have; and it be? comes them to assert their claim to the actual government or their States. When Southern honor and statesmanship are again infused into the local governments, we sh?ll witness a vast and permaneut improvement In Southern credit; but not before.
