man of tho Committee on Incorpoi
tions maele favorable reports on
bill to establish the office of Coun
Treasurer; a bill to incorporate t
Home Insurance Company of Charil
ton; a bill to incorporate the Colui
bia Educational Society.
Tho bill to amend tho charter
the Cheruw and Coalfields Railro
Company, was taken np, read a thi
time and passed.
Turner (Democrat) offered a
solution proposing that tho Legis
tare adjourn for the special sessie
on tho 11th instant, at 3 o'clock p.
Ordered for consideration to-taorrc
Whipper introduceil a bill to p
viele for the organization of the i
preme Court.
Ho also gavo notice of a bill
abolish corporal anel capital puni
ment.
A resolution proposing that no 1
or resolution, having the force
law, should bo introduced after
7th proximo, was passed.
Tho following message was recei1
from the Governor:
T herewith return to your hon
able body "An Act to amend an .
to alter aud amend tho charter of
city of Charleston," and for ot
purposes, together with tho reas
for my disapproval of the same,
is not only inconsistent with tho
nius of n Republican form of Gove
ment, but with tho spirit of our c
Constitution recently adoptetl, t
valuable interests of a commui
shall bc unnecessarily placed in j
purdy by legislation, however wei
may be intended. Heneo the Ac
objectionable. It does not th
around the ballot-box that proteel
against fraud, which it is
questionably tho duty of tho Legi
turo to secure, aud which pei
have a right to expect. While
Constitution is definite as to the qi
fications of a County voter, the in
of that instrument bas not been
ried out by tho General Assem
inasmuch as the Act should pro
that every elector shall have a f
residence, without any present in
tion of changing the same in
ward or polling precinct where
eluims the right to vote. Others
abuses of the elective franchise t
occur, and the ballot-box will c
to be tho medium for a fair and
partial expression of the will of
people.
If temporary residence constit
the only olaim of a voter to exe:
that right, how easy would it be
interested parties to secure tho
presence in uny part of one County
of persons from anotber'looality io
the Hame County, and control the
oleotion, thus thwarting the honest
purposes of those who are most vital?
ly concerned in the result. As a part
of your legislation, therefore, it is
desirable that a stringent law ho
passed, defining beyond peradven?
ture, the oharaoter of residence, so
that a mere sojourner in any locality
shall not be allowed to exercise elec?
tivo privileges which appertain to a
citizen, and thus force upon that
community officials who may be ob?
jectionable, or measures that may. be
Oppressive, while he will not himself
be affected by the misfortunes which
will be brought upon others.
In the second place, I disapprove
of the Act, because it makes a special
exception, in favor of Charleston, tc
the genoral necessity, which demands
an election of officers throughont thc
State. As yet, no law has beer
passed, in regard to the election oj
district attorneys and justices of tin
peace-each a class of vital impor
tance io the people-nor has any lav
been passed which will apply to al
State, County and municipal elec
tions. To exhibit partiality ii
favor of Charleston, therefore, wbei
there is no pressing need of imme
diato change, because all officer
provided for by the charter are dis
charging their duties at this time, i
to establish a precedent on whic
similar legislation may be speciall
demanded by any municipality i
the State. In tho third place, it i?
in my judgment, impolitic to hoi
a municipal election, in Chnrlesto
or elsewhere, anterior to the gem
ral election, to be held on the 3d <
November. If there were no othi
considerations of a graver characb
to be urged, tue facts that tl
public mind is already deeply exci
ed; business and labor will be uece
sarily interrupted, additional e
penses will be entailed on citizoi
by special registration and eicctio
thereby giving just cause of coi
plaint on the part of those affect
by the Act; that, in reality, uothii
would be gained by holding t
municipal election thirty days
advance of tho general electio
would themselves demonstrate t
impropriety of ratifying the A
which has been submitted to t
Executive. I believe sound pub
policy demands tho course I he
felt it my duty to adopt, in retui
ing the Act with my disapproval.

Lexington Dtatrlct.
The largest and moat reepecUbje
Democratic meoting. evor held in
Lexington, convened on Saturday,
the 29th August; at Mush Island, in
that District.
The meeting waa called io order
by Captain Henry Geiger, Chairman
o? the meeting, who introduced S.
Caughman, Esq., who first addressed
the meeting in a true and impressive
manners, and clearly satisfied all pre?
sent of the infernal doctrinen of the
radical party.
Col. H. A. Meetze, the champion
of Democracy of Lexington, next
addressed tho audience, and with bia
usual graceful and accomplished
manners, was well received and
heartily applauded throughout his
learner discourse.
Maj. C. C. Turner, one of our De?
mocratic Representatives of the so
called Legislature, from Spartanburg,
was introduced to the meeeting, and
in his humorous and pleasing dis?
course delighted the audience with
his witty and pleasant anecdotes,
showing the difference between c
carpet-bagger, scalawager and a gen?
tleman; and, as Maj. Turner truthfully
said, in regard to the radicals, as foi
the white men who belong to thai
nest of hell-born devils, who are
they? The few native Carolinian!
who unfortunately have become
mixed up with thc black pie. Don'
you see how thoy sink oven witt
their own accursed class? For thc
carpet-baggers, their baggage is sinai
and in a few months they will vauisl
as dew before the sun.
Hon. James D. Tradewell was ucx
introduced to the meeting, uuel th
truly eloquent manner in which th
honorable gentleman argued au?
dissected tho doctrines of tho radica
party, has inado a lasting impres
sion on the minds of the vas
assemblage; and bo clearly drove i
nail iu the coffin of radicalise
in Lexington District. The immens
assemblage, consisting of upward
of 2,00U persons from all part
of Lexington, Orongeburg and th
adjacent Districts, were all ia
pressetl with one idea-to work i
earnest and carry the State foi Sej
mour anti Blair-and the grei
enthusiasm that now prevails, show
clearly that tho ides of Novenibc
pass, the country will bo quit of tl
pests of carpet-baggers anti scab
wagers.
S. T. Aguew, Esq., was called oi
and addresseel the meeting as follow;
FELLOW-CITIZENS, LADIES AND GE:
TLEMEN? I may appear to make
personal appeal to you, but bo
many of you think of tho notorioi
consequences and great results an
present conduct rests upon yoi
shoulelers. When the bugle sound*
its clarion notes for war, j-ou responi
ed like men. Now when the aug
of peuce calls upon you, will ye
respond again? we answer yes, v
will be patient and watchful. Tl
coloretl people arc generally delude
aud are only artingjuuder tho i us tm
tion of bad white men to create
collision. What elo the leaders cu
if a few negroes are killed; in fae
that is their object, so long as ti
radical party can by that means she
that the South is as rebellious as eve
yes, my countrymen, one or tv
negroes killed anywhere in Sou
Carolina would add largely to t
radical party at the North. Can y
not see their moves on tho politic
chess-board? they feel that their gai
is desperate; yet we will check-mn
them aud save our country. A f<
short mouths of patience andforbei
ance will accomplish all wo rcquii
the election of Seymour and Blair
November next is as certain as di
light follows darkness. We have su
to the lowest depths of politi
degradation auel ruin-the re-acti
is near auel victory is ours. I f
Uko tho Scottish woman of Del
when, surrounded by foes ou evi
hand, mon in gloom and won
crying, she shouted "The Campbi
aro coming, don't you bear tho t
gan?" Two whole days in despair;
the third, a faint sound of bagpi]
was heard; and it drew nearer n
nearer; the Scottish Grays, with th
rifles auel claymores, hovo in sig
the flying artillery unlimbered, and
was safe. With us, all is despair; 1
Seymour and Blair will bo our rifi
public opinion our artillery, an<
united people will sing Dixie. Fr
the green hills of Vermont to
golden shores of the great Pac
coast, Democracy now reigns; an
tell you, my countrymen, thatevei
Carolina and in the District of L
ington, Democracy will triumph
tho ides of November pass. In ]
than six months, you will not fin
elozen men, white or colored, who <
admit that they over belonged to
Union League. As for the wi
men who belong to that nest of h
born devils, who are they? The
native-born Carolinians who un:
tunately have become mixed up
that black pie, don't you see how t
sink even with their own acout
class? Where is the man who did
get to be United States Sena!
Carpet-baggers -and scala wagers el
ed to responsible offices find gi
difficulty in giving bouda. As for
carpet-baggers, their baggage is BI
and traveling easy; they will vai
ns dew before the son. I tell 3
follow-citi/.ens, that the interest of
the blackman is to > anita with the
owners of Carolina's so?. What
your old f rion tis and masters promise,
they will give you ; but where is your
forty acres of land and your mule,
which your false carpet-baggers and
scala wagers promised you? Vote for
Seymour anti Blair, and you will have
peace and prosperity, joy and happi?
ness.
Henry Kershaw, (colored,) from
Columbia, was caliea for, and gave
the radicals and carpet-baggers some
heavy shots. His speech was well
timed, and produced a good effbot on
all present. At v the close Of the
speech, throe cheers were heartily
given for the speakers and three times
three for.Seymour and Blair. The
Democracy of Lexington aro awake,
and oonverts from the radical party
are numerous.
After the speaking waa concluded,
the vast assemblage, consisting of
fully 2,000 people,- was invited to
partake of a splendid barbecue, pre?
pared by Capt. Henry Geiger and his
friends. The viands were of the
choicest kind and sufficient for 4,000
people.
A deplorable acoident occurred,
lately, at Isehi. Austria, by which
Prince Gagarin and his son were
accidentally drowned while looking
at the timber being shot through the
locks of the river. The Prince was
knocked into the stream by a log,
and then dragged his son in, who
was attempting to rescue him with a
stick.
A MOURNFUL BEMC.-On Thursday
last, a trunk was picked up on tho |
sands of Hatteras beach, containing a i
portion of a lady's wardrobe and se?
veral letters, whioh proved the owner
to havo boen a Miss Carrie Foster,
an actress, who took passage on the
ill-fated steamer Morning Star, that
foundered at sea in a March gale,
two years ago.
In Greenville District, Mr. A. B.
Vickers, Sheriff, and Mr. S. J.
Douthit, Judge of Probate, have
both qualified and entered on the
discbarge of the duties of their re?
spective offices. These gentlemen
wero chosen at tho recent election
by largo Democratic majorities.
ANOTHER DESERTION FROM THE
BEP?BI?ICAN BANKS.-Mr. James P.
Boswell, the recently elected Sheriff
of Kershaw District, has declined to
serve, and announces his adhesion
to Democratic principles. Sheriff
Sill, the incumbent, consequently,
continues to hold office.
Tho Now York Times "sees nothing
but harm" in a September session of
Congress. That is all tho country
has soeu in its sessions for several
years.
John Morrisey denies that he is
hotting against Seymour and Blair.
He says he cordially supports their
election.
The carpet-bagger is n now cos?
tume introduced at masquerade balls
at Sulphur Springs.

BY THE GOVERNOR.
STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
EXECUTIVE DKVABTMEJJT,
COLUMBIA, August 81,18G3.
INFORMATION having been communi?
cated to this Department, of proceed?
ings calculated to disturb the tranquility
of the State, I deem it my duty to earnest?
ly appeal to my foliow-citizons to refrain
from, and discountenance, all demonstra?
tions whereby the publie peace may bo en?
dangered.
It ia alleged that armed organizations
exist, which aro regularly officered and
drilled, and pretend to, act by authority,
j There is not only no authority for armed
or military organizations in Booth Caroti?
na, but they are in dlreot violation of the
lawB of tho United States. They must,
therefore, be at onco disbanded.
I have also boen informed of the Burrep
titiona intro duction into the State of fire?
arms and ammunition of tho moat iirvprov
cd description; which, it is reported, are
to be used for partizan purposes. Al?
though not BO openly in conflict with the
11 we, thia is equally dangerous and threat?
ening to the public pence.
Doadly weapons in tho hands of incon?
siderate persons, inflamed by political ex?
citement, may load to the moat deplorable
results, and all good citizens who can fore?
see tho frightful consequences of a colli?
sion, should earnestly and promptly throw
tho whole weight of their moral influence
against a policy which would place Ufo and
property at the mercy of s mob.
The right of every political party to as?
semble and delib?ralo for' the common
good is undeniable, and any interruption
of such proceeding, or molestation of in?
divid?ala in attendance, is utterly unjus?
tifiable.
Inflammatory and threatening language
at public meetings, and in the newspapers,
should bo avoided And (discountenanced,
because it unnecessarily aggravates the
excitement incident to tue present politi?
cal canvaea.
The right of every voter to advocate such
political principles, and support auch can?
didate?, aa commend themselves to hia
judgment, must be secured to him without
restraint or intimidation.
It ia tho distinguishing feature of Re?
publican Government that it is based upon
the consent of the governed. Its policy ia
controlled by the will of tho majority, as
legitimately expressed through the ballot
box. To thwart or subvert that will, to
interfere with this sacred right of opinion,
tho basis of all free institutions, by threat
or violence, is to aubstituto force for law.
Tho power which exalts ono party to-day
may give to its antagonist tho control to?
morrow; and the end will be anarchy, ruin
and despotism.
As tho Chief Magistrate of tho State, it
?B my duty to execute tho law, preserve the.
