A?\er a severe straggle, and a one hundred and seven days session^ the General Assembly finally adjourned at midnight last night, and most of the -members," except those from the up? country, have already left for their homes. Dar? ing all day yesterday little beyond the regular last 4ty?s routine-passing and ratifying of bills, acts and joint resolutions-occurred. Towards evening it was rumored that the Governor had vetoed the pef diem, mileage an d legislative ex- f penses bill, on account of certain irregularities connected with lt, and lt was then whispered that an effort would te made to prolong the ses? sion. In the evening, shortly after the Senate convened, a message was receiv?d from the Gov? ernor as follows: STATE OF SOOTH CAROLINA. ) 'EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT. | COLUMBIA, March 7,1871. J Tb the Honorable the Senate of South Carolina : GENTLEMEN--I return to your honorable body, without my approval, an act .appropriating $205, 000 for Legislative expenses, for the following rea? sons, to wit: First, I regard the expenditure of the money already appropriated during this session, and the sum iuoladed In tills bill, amounting in the ag-' f?regate to Tour hundred thousand ($400.000) dol ars, as simply enormous for one session of the Legislature. It is beyond the comprehension ol any one how the General Assembly could legiti? mately expend one-ha'f that amount of money. 1 cannot refrain from 'jxpresslng the opinion that there must have* been some secret agencyiln fix? ing the sam at Uutt ?.mount, as a number of lhe members, both of the House and senate, have expressed their surprise at finding the ap? propriation changed from one hundred and twen? ty-five thousand, ($125,000) dollars, as it was be' lieved to.have passed, to that ?of two hundred and sixty-five, thousand ($205,000) dollars. I re? gret the Necessity or returning the act without my approval, OB the last day of the- session, but to do other-wise, I feel that I would be recreant to the duties imposed upon me. by becoming a party " to a wrong by which the whole people would be made to suffer. ' * I might give many other cogent reasons why this bill shtfuld net become a law; b.ut time pre. vents my doing other than giving it my unquali? fied disapproval, believing that the members or the general Assembly will, themselves, correct an error that most have crept into the bill clan? destinely in Its enrolment. Very respectfully, ROBERT K. SCOTT, Governor. Leslie, after the message was read, stated Drat the increase arose from the smuggling in of the "Dennis ctaimn for fitting ap inc Kail of Repre? sentatives, and that lt had been voted on lnjhe &eo ate. while the general appropriation blll*wai under discussion, without any one knowing what they voted for. The question only being, "Shall we adopt the House amendment?" (This was ev idem ly a fact, for no one did seem to know any? thing sbout-it.) Leslie thought that this shocld be no reason why members snould go home with? out tkelr pay. The Governor "was not compelled to sigu any checks, except such as" he thought ut. Corbin said thai he had inquired of the Senate finance committee, and they did not knowhow the amount was increased snd how the additional SH?.ooo cime lo the bili lt was, however, well known how it was i J curred. It was the fitting up of the lian or Representatives, which he declared , an outrage and a swir.d.e. He hud experts to es ilma te the expense, at the highest figure, and they told him that $-?5.000 would leave a big mar gin. wimbush. ?as)), Hay ne an'd Maxwell rollo w ed in a Bindiar strain. Some were in favor of get ting the pay of members, wh?le others would "sooner g. i home wu :cuf their nay than vote for such.a V scheme, but all united In denouncing t he affair us i', a barefaced swindle. WlUttemore thought tue \, only way to obviate this difficulty was to extend jj the session till saturday and paso anew b;Il; and introduced a resolution to that effec. By request of Leslie, action on thexesvlatloo was suspeuded, tin hair-past io o'clock, to take up other matters, aud i he charleston County commissioners inves? tigation wis then called.up. Leslie wanted the whole testimony read, which would have occu pied the time till the hour of adjournment, but objection was made, aud, while the matter was still under discussion, the time for the corni '.era tion Of Whlttemore's r?solution arr.ved. Wim? bush moved to indefinitely postpone the r?solu tion, which was adopted' by almost a unanimous vote. The remainder of the time was occupied In ratifying acts and making valedictory speeches. In the House the debates during the evening were' llve?f, and"towards the close, the body resolved Itself \r.to a mutual admiration society-every? body being the best mun. ACTS RATIFIE:..

I ._ . J A Strong Argument In it? Favor-Why 1 Governor Scott Signed the Bill. ' Governor Scott, on- Tuesday, approved the 1 bill to promote the consolidation ol the Greenville j and Colnmbia and Blue Ridge Railroad Compa- , nies, and stated his reasons for so doing in the j following message: STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, EXECUTIVE DEPAKTATENT, COLUMBIA, March 7.1871. To the.Honorable Me House of Hepr-esenlatltes : -j ? GENTLEMEN-Having at all times persistently and earnestly opposed any measures feuding to in 1 crease the debts and llatdlitirs of the? State, I , deem it uot inappropriate to communicate my j reasons tame General Assembly for approving ? au - "ac:. to promote the consolidation of the < Greenville and Columbia and Blue Ridge Railroad 1 Companies," as Uie criticisms on that bill tend to 1 misead the public lu regard toft, which, in my , opinion, wm complete, without the addition of a 1 single dollar to the public debt-, an enterprise so < important to the Interests of the whole State,-as ? the perfection of our railroad connection with thr , West. It has been long ?v.dent to-all thoughtful < and practical meu that the Greenville and Colum- 1 bli Railroad aud the Blue Ridge llalirond, being , identical iu Interest, should ue nuder one eitlcleut j and economical administration. While they are 1 both iu their present- condition embarrassed In 1 duding th1; means to prosecute vigorously the 1 work necessary to their success, lc is, I think, j equally clear that their combined means run ? achieve the completion ol their common purposes, j Thc act before me proposes simply to allow them, Upon lair uud'equal terms, to cumbine their ; resources. j In postponing the statutory lien nf the 5tate, ' for Hie endorsed oouds ol the Greenville Rail oad, j 1 cannot feel that 1 am coriseutiug to abatidon 1 any real securltyfn the part 01 the state, as this . road has uot only paid 'thc Interest ou a debt -| almost eqoal to the - combined liability of tue < State's eudor-emeut aud the second mortgage ? bonds. At the ?tame time it has been compelled j to expand an extraordinary amount of its inc ?me ; for repairs, .which for ihe want or iron had to be ? almost daily renewed, coupled with the desirae- , lion of roiling stock, aud damages ror the loss or , lire and property, lt ls rendered absolutely certain ? that'wheu ihe road is put In proper condition, j with the necessary means to do thc buslue.sof. ? the conni ry through which lt passes, lt will not , onlv t-e able to pay the Interest on both clashes or , bonds, theag*rega'e or which ls less than $20,0 -o , to the mile, btit, will"have a surplus that may bc applied to the payment of the interest ou th.; Blue , Ridge bond3 while the road is in'process of cou- , s ruction. 1 lu reference to the Blue Ridge Railroad, by an , examination or the several acts it will be seen 1 that the only cha-ige which has been made ls to | give the bondholder the first lieu, and the statuto? ry lienof the Mate the second, By winch it is secur- | ed as effectually as ix was In Its 0. Igiual st.nus. ! The necessity for this legislation will be recoguiz ed when lt is known that one of the prlncjpa: dif? ficulties In the way of the negotiating Tor the sale j o' ihese bonds is the mortgage executed-and ? placed on record lu the States through which the road pa . .es, viz: South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee, to Messrs. Gourdin, Came? ron i (Hears, as trosiees, by Its p-iority or dTite, was made to be a first mortgage on the property or the road, while the act authorizing the endorse? ment gave ihe State a first Hen. .Tuts was made a cause of objection by those who were disposed to accept tlie negotiation of the bond3; the purchas? er was desirous that his security should be a first lieu on the property, .so that, on failure of ihe company to meet their obligations, the hold-r of the bonds could make a claim against 1 he road, and not against the St.te, as they cuuld do nothing m the coutts as against the State, while they c-jutd enforce their claim against the inc r p.jratlon. Ttius. lt will be seeu tua;, it becam&ab solntely necessary that ihla dltilcuity should bo ' corrected. As to the other change of ihe law ol' 1808, whereby lt gives the privilege or negotiating the bonds at the "markst value, instead or nelug restricted toselttogatpar every onemustseethat it was almost a permanent bar against the nego? tiation of the bonds upon their merits. To have done so, the company would have been forced to adopt a Species or sharp practice.' by. selling- the bends at par and compensating the purchaser, by a commission, for the?dlfference bel weep'their market and par value, which inevitably would have placed the company at a disadvantage in any negotiation they might attempt to make with correct business men. When these roads have been consolidated there will be one great road running from the capital of the State, completing the western connection, and promising a certainty of revenue which can hard? ly be exaggerated! At present both of these roads are obstructed In their efforts by the fact that the one ls lnc.omplete and thc other not In condition to transact its large and Increasing business with. vigor and dispatch. Consolidated, they will go into, the credit market or the world with a com? plete road of more than two hundred miles, and with a line of about one hundred and forty ad? ditional miles to he constructed, passing through a country unsurpassed in ?U that mattes material prosperity, and by a friendly combination with the South Carolina Railroad Company, by vrhielt its. moral support will be secured, completing connec? tion between the Atlantic and great West at a cost contrasting most favorably, with other lines lead? ing from the-lnterlor to the seaboard, thus ful tin? ing: the hupe and effort of the Slate for more than one-thlrd-of a century. I would feel myself criminally Indifferent to the Interest of both the Blue Ridge Railroad and the people of the State, were 1 to fail in supporting any measure that would complete this great .enterprise, and thus leave the public without the advantage or tins Important road, and to entail upon them the cer? tainty of h wing to meet eventually the Interest and principal of at least a portion of the bonds endorsed'for the purpose, whatever the opinion of individuals may be as to the policy of consoli? dation, or the a ivantage to bc derived from giv? ing to thc Blue Bldg* Road a hundred and sixty four m'les of completed road, 1 am satisfied that all practical business men now will concede the fact that this acquisition will give more strength and valus to the bonds to be used for ihe purpose of raising the necessary finds than even the en? dorsement of the Staie Itself.. I would even, were lt possible at this time, be willing to see tne bonds endorsed hythe State cancelled and with? drawn from the market, and have them, re? placed by a first mortgage bond on the Blue Kldge and Greenville Road combined. Circum? stanced as we are by the road b'elrig encumbered by a first mortgage securing this endorsed bond by the State, and vested. rights in the bonds, lt would be almost Impossible to make the exchange, hence it becomes oar duty to adopt any and eve y means to realize the greatest sum of money possi? ble lor the security we have, and apply it strictly and honestlyto the construction of the road. I am satisfied that the four millions of bonds will place thercadln such a stateof forwardness by a change of route and grade, aa to requit e but little after they are exhausted of additional outlay to open communication to Knoxville, and whatever fur? ther means may be required will be readily se? cured by a short second "mortgage dh the whole read. In conclusion, 1 would say that if the present bill did not present a cortalnty of saving the State from becoming eventually liable ?pon its endorsement, of thc Blqe Ridge bonds, by.a fail? ure to apply them ln'sucli"a way as to make the road itself a sufficient guarantee for their pay? ment. I would now withhold my official approval of the bill. ROBERT K. SCOTT, Governor. ' O?R WASHINGTON LETTER.
