Stace the mlrfd to deceit lt might lend ;
For his arm lc was broken quite recent.
And has something gOjpe wrong with his lung
Which ls why It ls proper and decent
. 1 should write what he runs off his tongue.
First, he say3. Miss, he's resd through your letter
To the end-and the end came to soon.
That a slight illness kept Ulm your debtor,
(Which lor weeks he was wild as a looa.)
That his spirits are buoyant as yours ls:
That with yon. Miss, he challenges Fate
(Which the language that invalid uses
At times lt were vain to relate.)
And he says that the mountains are fairer
For once being held in y our thought ;
That each rock holds a wtalth that ls rarer
Than ever by gold-seeker sought
(Whl li are.words be would put in these pages,
By a party not given to guile;
Which the same not. at date, paying wages,
Might produce In the sinful a smile.)
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.
Set are happy and gav all the while;
That he knows- [watch this dodging of pillows
imparts tnt small ease u the st\ le. .
And the same yon will pardon)-he knows, Miss,
That, though parted by many a mile,
Yet, were be lvlng under the snows. Miss,
They'd melt into tears at your Bmlle.
? And you'll still think of him in your pleasnre?,
In yonr brief twilight-dreams of the pasr,
In this green laurel-spray that he tren sn -es,
It was plucked where your puning wa:i lasr,
In this specimen-but a small trifle
?t will do for a pin for your shawl;
(Which the truth not to wickedly stifle,
Was his last week's "clean up'*-and Tits all.)
He's asleep-which the same might seem strange,
Misa)
Were it not that I scorn to deny
That I raised his last dose for a change, Miss,
in view that bis fever was high,
Bnt he Hes there qnite peaceful and pensive;
And, now, my respects. Miss, to you;
Which, my language, although comprehensive,
Might seem to be freedom-it's true.
Which I have a small favor to ask yon.
As concerns a ball-pup. which the same
If the dnty would not overtask you
You would please to procure lor me, game,
And send per express to the Flat, Miss,
Which they say York ls famed for the breed.
Which though words of deceit may be that-Miss,
i'll trust to yonr taste, Miss, indeed.
p. s.-Which this same interfering
In other folks' ways I despise
Yet, If so be I was hearing
That it's Jost empty pockets as Hes
Betwixt yon and Joseph-:; rollers
That, having no family claims.

GOV. SCOTT'S MESSAGE.
OPINIONS OF THE STATE PBESS.
Fair Promises.
[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.
