f _ _ COLUMBIA. Wednesday Morning, Nov. 28, 1886. The GovcTiior'i Mcgiage. We publish this morning, the mes? sage of Governor Orr, and invite foi it a careful perusal from the pcoph of South Carolina. The message is evidently very carefully prepared, and discusses with great ability tin various subjects of interest to om people. It is so clear on every point, that an abstract or summary is ent ire? ly urinecssary. The recommendation that an amendmc-iit repealing that clause ol the Constitution, requiring the Gene? ral Assembly to establish District Courts, is, in our judgment, euiinemth proper; for already there have been grave objections urged against the utility of these Courts; and as Gover? nor Orr justly remarks, no human ?wisdom is equal to the task of giving a perfect system of courts and laws when an ancient sj'stem is to bo re? vised; therefore, if the Constitution is amended as the Governor suggests, a year will show whether tho Districl Courts should be continued. T;e Governor's suggestions as tc the necessary changes iu tho crimi? nal law caused by the establishment of the penitentiary system ; as to certain civil officers who use seals Congressianal elections, ?tc, appeal to us to be worthy of adoption bj the General Assembly; while his re? marks on the freed people show that be has carefully considered the sub ject, and do credit to his head anci heart. The financial condition of thc State is very clearly shown, and thc most of the Governor's suggestion.' as to levying somo additional taxes to increase tho revenue, aro basec upou justice and equality among thc various professions and occupation; required to contribute to the suppor of tho State Government. The subject of supplying corn io: the people of the State, very proper ly enters into the list of the Gover nor's suggestions and recommenda tions, and he tells tho Legislature that it is reasonably certain that th requirements made at the extra ses sion, that for every dollar of th State bonds issued, a bushel of con should be laid down in the State would prevent the purchase of th needed supply. The proposition o Messrs. Brown & Schirmer, of thi cit}*, experienced dealers in grain and that to be proposed by Mr. Biker of Charleston, will receive du consideration, and may be found t Le the best practical mode of intro? ducing the needed supplies. The Governor again urges the cm actment of a homestead law, and law providing for an increase of prc perty to be exempt from levy and sale His review of the provisions of th proposed Constitutional Amendment is very good, and will be read wit interest, as it was reported ho was i favor of the Legislature ratifying i This unfounded rumor is put at re: by the analysis of its odious feature which he presents in this messagi With him we say, "let us preseri our oxen self-respect, arid the respect < our posterity, by ref using to bethe mee ?instruments of our own shame." We again commend the message 1 the consideration of the L?gislatif and our people generally, as an ai mirable State paper, ?md one of tl ablest we have read from any Exec ti ve in these troublous times. Evei question of public interest is ab discussed, and every suggestion e titled to the serious attention of tin body to which they are addressed. Despatches received at Montre from England by the Governor-Gen ral, state that tire possibility of troul with the United States, render an i crease of vigilance indispensable < the part of the Canadian nuthoritic It is rumored iu conservative eire! in New Orleans, that Governor We .will be impeached on tho assemblii of the Louisiana Legislature, on t charge of attempting to subvert t State Government. The venerable Bishop Andrew, the Methodist Episcopal Chur South, is in Savannah, Ga. His gre uge is telling upon him, but his mi is clear and he is as earnest as ever his great mission. The aggregate amount of mon appropriated by Congress, at its L session, for various public purpos is $155,881,784.10. After nineteen ineffectual ball ings, the Arkansas Legislature, up Wednesday, failed to^ elect a Uni! States Senator. Uovernor Perry's l.ett?rr. Hie admirable letter of Governor Perry to Charles W. Woodward, Esq., of Philadelphia, discussing the Constitutional Amendment, (original? ly published in the Phoenix,) has at? tracted more attention, so far as our observation has extended, than any other paper which we have soon. It has been published from New York to New Orleans, in tho leading papers of every city, and has been generally accompanied by very commendatory uotii es. We have not space for all the comments of our cotemporaries on this admirable production, but sub? join extracts from two Southern lead? ing journals. The New Orleans Times has a very long and able notice of the letter, in which it says the antecedents ot Governor Perry "entitle it to the highest consideration of the people of the entire South." It says: "No living statesmen can show a fairer record, and although we have often differed from his views, promul? gated in times of high party excite? ment, yet we aro prepared to bear testimony to his thorough honesty. A native citizen of South Carolina, j and, for the last quarter of a century, j ono of her most-honored legislators, j he was yet opposed to the leading ! doctrines of what was called tho Caro- <? tin? part}', lu the old nullification ' controversy that took place in 1832- j o, lie ranged himself on the side of the Unionists: and, in lb'50, when | the doctrine of secession was broach? ed and maintained with great ardor] by many of the most eminent citizens of that State, he raised an earnest voice against it, through the columns | of a press then under his able direc- ? tion. When tho State of South Caro- j lina, at length, in 1SG0, actually seceded, he bowed to her behests, i and united his fortunes with that of ? Iiis State, during the unhappy war that succeeded." Tho Times then proceeds to sum- ? tnarize approvingly tho arguments used by Gov. Perry against the amendment, and concludes as fol? lows: "These views, nobly expressed by Gov. Perry at the proper time, are very encouraging. The South has no cause for despair. Her citizens aro, and will be, true to themselves in this hour of threatened danger to their liberties, and tho Chief-Magistrate of the nation, who, in the midst of difficulties, has displayed tho energy of a Jackson, and the courage of a Cromwsll, will, we aro sure, prove himself equal to thc further trials to which they may bo subjected by the unhallowed designs and crafty ma? nouvres of the enemies of tho Union and the Constitution." The Columbus (Ga.) Sun expresses moro fully our own opinion when we published the letter. We have to limit ourselves to one or two extracts from tho editorial of that paper: "Weean recall nothing from all that has been written or spoken upon the acceptance by the South of the Con? stitutional Amendment, which will compare in point, clearness and force to this production of the pen of the ex-Provisional Governor of South Carolina. From it the North may learn the exact status of every true Southerner, and in addition, may find in it a faithful portraiture of the waudering vagabonds who claim to be the exponents of Southern loyalty and Unionism. "This last effort of Governor Perry has filled to repletion, the measure of our admiration for his intellectual capacity and exalted honor. He alone, of all the Union men of the South, can present a record which will command universal respect for its consistency, and in comparison with his own, the persecutions of all the rest, for devotion to the Union, have been light and trifling. Almost unaided and alone, he fearlessly faced the intolerant spirit of the doini nant party in South Carolina. His devotion to the Union cast a shadow upon his life in the early days of his manhood, and throughout the strug? gles of after years, ho stood by his principles in the face of social ostra? cism; and in times when thu expres? sion of a Union sentiment was almost a badge of personal infamy." We aro truly gratified to see that this able letter has been properly ap? preciated throughout the entire South, aud published and treated with high respect by even Northern journals opposed to us in political sentiment. A parado of tho New York fire de? partment has taken place. Thirty four steamers, twelve hook and lad? der trucks, and six hundred men were on the ground.
