The Message of Governor Scott, presented to tue General Assembly yesterday, is both worse and better than we bad ventured to expect. It is exquisitely malignant in its misrepresentation of the motives and feel? ings of the white citizens of the State, but it is bold and emphatic In denunciation of extravagance, and in recommendation of stringent measures ol economical reform. A large part of the Message is devoted to a consideration of the fiscal condition of the State, and of the circumstances which provoked the sudden collapse of the public credit. Governor Scott declares that the whole public debt, as reported by the State Treasurer, is $11,994,908, and he assures the people that he knows, from severe personal scrutiny, that the statement is full and cor? rect-suppressing nothing. ' The amount re? ported by Governor Scott is, with a frac? tional difference, the same as was reported by Messrs. Orr, Pope. Baxter and Brenizer; but we remind Governor Scott, as the com? mittee did, that he most take into account, as a part of the debt of the State, either the floating debt of $900,000 due Mr. Eimpton, or th? $3,773,000 of bonds hypothecated to secare its payment It may be the inten? tion of tbe State Government to pay the money and cancel the bonds, bot, until that be done, the debt of the State must be in? creased by either $900,000 in money, or $3, 773,000 in bonds. Governor Scott's state meats in regard to taxation are extremely disingenuous. The very Agares which he prints in support af his views are a sufficient evidence of the magnitude of the borden saddled opon the taxpaying people. It was necessary, however, to give some plausible reason for the fall of the State bonds from 80 to 20, and Governor Scott lays the whole blame apon the opposition press, and the people whose exponents they are presumed to be. 'With singular cocines?, he asserts that, had not the cry of repudiation been raised, the debt of the State would not now exceed ten ' millions. This is a sufficiently damaging admission considering that the debt of the State, one year ago, was Bet dows by his own Comptroller-General at $7,665,908. We thank Governor Scott, how? ever, for placing on record the fact that, three years ago, THE CHARLESTON NEWS, in plain words, gave warning that the white people of the State would not hold them? selves responsible for any of the bonds is? sued by a government in which they had ho representation. This proposition interfered with the schemes of the persons*who ex? pected to make money oat of the State Gov? ernment A clique who are supposed to lead the public by the nose denounced THE NEWS as a rash disturber of the public peace ; as a wanton destroyer of Ure public credit Had the people stood togethiv, they might hare reasonably expected td obtain a con? siderable influence over the expenditure of tbe revenues of the State. They were - pre? vented from BO doing by the apathy and sneers of Lime-serving sheets, which are ready enough to offer their nostrums when the morie- hutt is dene, bat which bad not the manhood or independence td cot deep into the wound before the whole body was corrupt These who now howl at THE NEWS for not advocating propositions which are an insult lo the intelligence of their readers, and to the craft of the Bing, are the very journals responsible for the supineness which made it possible to add million after million to the debt of the State. Governor Scott explains some of the rea? sons which brought about the appointment of Mr. H. H. Kiujpton as the Financial Agent of the State, and admits that it was a grave mistake to appoint an individual in? stead of a chartered company. It is dia - tinctiy stated that neither neglect nor fraud is alleged against Mr. Eimpton, who, Gov? ernor Scott admits, did the best be could an? der the circumstances. Governer Scott con? demns the practice of drawing upon the agency to meet the current expenses ot the State, in advance of the collection of taxes, and advises that ia future, no money shall be borrowed or debt contracted to pay car rent expenses,* so that all persons to w?om money may be due shall await the collection of taxes. The improvident and extravagant expenditures ot the General Assembly are sharply criticised, and the Governor admits that the fancied combinations of the oppo? sition could not have been so successful bad not the General Assembly lent them, "its *'practical cooperation" by exhausting the fundB in the Treasury. Tho legislative ex? penses of the last session, including oat standing claims, were $583,651. Before the war, the Legislature cost about S40, OOO a session. The bill of $91,500 for furnishing the Statehouse with brocade curtains and gilded cuspidors is declared to be entirely without warrant of law. This passage io the Mes? sage will not solace the disconsolate Furni? ture Bing. As measures of retrenchment, Governor Scott proposes that the members of the Legislature receive a Axed salary in siead.of a per diem; that the Code Commis? sion, and the offices of Land Commissioner ?nd Assistant Adjotant-General, be abolish ed; that the total salaries o? the School Commissioners be reduced from $31,500 to $10,000 a year; that the office of County Auditor be abolished-a saving o? $50,000 a year; that, the costly Trial Justices, in Charleston, be replaced by three Police Judges with adequate salaries; that the office of Recorder of Charleston be abolished ; that the salaries of all officers, high and low, with the exception of the Judges, be re? duced one-third. These are sensible and practical recommendations. We shall soon know whether the Legislature intends to turn over a new leaf, or to continue the old story of reckless extravagance and waste. Taxes are proposed upon rice and cotton, and upon railroad tonnage, and it is advised that a system of State licenses be esta? blished. To enforce the payment of taxes, i- e. to obtain a supply ol r^ady money, it is ad? vised that delinquent property be Bold within thirty days after the taxes apon it fall due, and that "bonds of the State be taken in "payment at par for all real estate pur? chased at delinquent land sales," and that the State warrant the titles. The public lands of the State, valued at one million dollars, are proposed to be sold, at an early period-the bonds of the State, at par,'being taken in payment. But the taxpayers who are delinquent, or who are likely to .become so, are not the holders'of State bonds. They could oDly obtain them by parchase in the open market, the effect of which would be to cause an immediate advance in the price of the bonds. And this advance, far more than any advantage to the taxpayers, is what Governor Scott bas in view. "We can 3ee that, under the proposed law, the over? due taxes, amounting to $1,137,433, could be paid in bonds costing less than hali that amount in actual money, and, BO far, it j would benefit the people who have taxes to pay. And if bonds of the State are to be I ?old to liquidate the floating debt of the government, it is better for the people that they should sell at fifty cents than that they should bring only thirty or forty. Bat the people, although ready to accept whatever saving the proposed law may permit, will treat the whole scheme as a stock-jobbing speculation. They will, indeed, regard Gov? ernor Scott's Message as a desperate at? tempt to bolster ap the State credit, and to I save President Grant from the consequences of his ill-advised action in suspending the writ of habeas corpus in the upper counties o? the? State. Upon the subject of Ku-Kluxism,* which Governor Scott dise?ases at length, it is sufficient to say, at this moment, that, if the State Government ?ad "assailed no private' "right, and committed no public rcrong," and ii it could not, with justice, "be charged ' 'icith ever having wantonly injured a citizen, 'either in his person or estate," a Ku-Klux outrage would never have been heard of io South Carolina. We are free to admit that the State Constitution is liberal in its provi j sions of enfranchisement, and that Governor I Scott, apon scores of occasions, bas made golden promises to the white citizens. Bat against the words ol the organic law must be s?t tbe deeds of the State officials. - Of j what value were words when the people | were oppressed by taxes, when the tfebt was mounting higher and higher, when an infa? mous election law stripped the people of the fower to redress their wrongs at the polls, when ignorant colored militiamen were hounded on to deeds of violence and blood, when adventurers and thieves filled offices which had been occupied by the purest citi? zens of the State, when literty, fortune and life itself were absolutely at the disposal of a borde of public robbers, wheo the Almigh? ty seemecf to have withdrawn His protectipg hands ? We condemn Ku-Kluxism as mor ; ally wrong and politically inexpedient, bat we cannot forget the insults and sufferings endured by oar people. . The Message, all in all, will doubtless an? swer its purpose. It will tend to relieve the State officials from their monetary embarass ments, and it will, besides, be expounded as unimpeachable truth by all tbe stamp-speak? ers and hack-writers who, daring the com? ing year, may find* it necessary to defend the military usurpations of the Grant admin? istration.
