The Honse returned to tho Senate, with amendments, a bill to amend an Act enti? tled "An Act to fix the salary and regulate the pay of certain officers," aud to rechar? ter the Central Railroad of South Carolina. Bills to punish persons violating Section 3, Article XIV, of the amendments to the Constitution of the United State?; and fur? ther to amend nn Act to define the jurisdic? tion and regulate tho practico of Probate Courts, (from the Senate,) roceived first readings. A resolution was adopted, that tho bill from the House of Representatives, entitled "A bill to establish and maintain a system of public Bchools for the State of South Carolina," which bill was adopted by the House of Representatives as a substituto for the House and Senate bills bearing tho same title, be laid upon the table. The Committee on Engrossed Bills re? ported as duly and correctly engrossed, and ready for a third reading, tho following: A bill to aid the Port Royal Railroad Com ?any ; joint resolution authorizing the State Measurer to apportion to the several Coun? ties the appropriation of 825,000 authorized in General Orders No. 139, of December 3, 1867, Headquarters Second Military Dis? trict, for the support of freo schools, the same to be paid over to the respective County Treasurers in ordor to pay claims of teachers. A bill to aid the Port Royal Railroad Company was postponed to the next ses? sion. Message No. 52 from the Governor was read as follows: EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, COLUMBIA, March 22, 1809. lb the Honorable the Senate of South Carolina. SENATORS: I respectfully return to your honorable body, in which it originated, "An Act to pr?vido for the uniform and proper promulgation of all legal and public notices, without my approval, for the fol? lowing reasons: In the first place, I deem it unnecessary, as there has been no complaint or evideuce adduced that the system at present existing is not amply sufficient and satisfactory for its purposes. lu tue second place, I consider it injudi? cious in imposing upon a particular State officer, in addition to his present duties, which are sufficiently onerous, a large amount of.labor that legitimately belongs to his colleagues in the several departments of thc State government, and to tho local au? thorities in their respective Counties. The County officers, especially, whoso duty it is to advertise the legal notices, may be sup? posed, from their local knowledge, to be better advised of tho standing and circula? tion of their neighborhood ]Ournals than persons at a distance. To thom tho Consti? tution and laws have entrusted the direction and supervision of County affairs and Coun? ty expenditures, and until they are shown to bo incompetent or unfaithful, I deem it the part of wisdom and sound policy for the State to interfere with them in tho dis? charge of their duties, or intermeddle with strictly County matters, as little as is abso? lutely necessary. In the third place, tho designating of cer? tain newspapers as "official organs" of the State, aud of the counties, I consider highly inexpedient and improper. With but a sin? gle exception, every secular newspaper in the State is inimioal to the existing State government. I am unwilling to endorse their misapprehensions, or to increaso their power of misohiof, by conferring upon them the name or character of "official organs" of tho State or Counties. N6ces3ity oompels their use to give circulation to our legal notices, which, of themselves, suffi? ciently indicaio their official oharacter, and as the object of advertising is publicity, the officers interested in the several localities are the best judges of what newspapers will most effectually accomplish their object and satisfy the requirements of law. For these reasons, I feel constrained to withhold my approval of this Ac1, and re? spectfully return it to your honorable body. I have tho honor to be, very respectfully, R. K. SCOTT, Governor. The message and accompanying Aot were considered immediately. The Presiden' announced the question "Shall an Aot entitled 'An Act to provide for the uniform and proper promulgation of all legal aud public notices' become a law, the objections of bis Excellency the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding?" And it was decided in tho negative. The report of tho Committee on Public Lands, on a bill to establish a Board of Laud Commissioners, was read, considered by sections, and tho yeas and nays called twenty-three times. The Speaker of the House of Representa? tives attended in tho Sonnte, when tho fol lowing Acts and joint resolution wero duly ratified: An Act to repeal nn Act entitled "An Act to prevent persons holding certain offices of emolument from leaving the State;" to amend an Act entitled "Au Act to regulato the manner of drawing jurors;" to amend an Act entitled "An Act to defiuo the jurisdiction and regulate tho practice of Probate Courts;" to defino tho duties of State Reporter, aud to pr?vido for the publication of the Supremo Court re? ports; to make appropriations and raise supplies for tho year commencing in Octo? ber, 18GS; to provide for an election to fill certain vacancies iu County offices; to repeal Section 8 of an Act to niter the Act entitled "An Act to amend tho criminal law;" to in? corporate tho Dorn Mining and Manufac? turing Compauy, of South Carolina, for miuing aud for other purposes; to alter and amend the charter of the town of Greenville, and for other purposes; to incorporate the South Carolina Improvement and Trust Company; joint resolution to direct the Comptroller-General of the State to provide and furnish offices for officers of the Execu? tive Department. The Committee on Eugrossed Bills re? ported as dulj* aU(l correctly engrossed, and ready for a third reading, the following bills: To provide for the appointment of c Land Commissioner, and to define hit powers aud duties; to establish certain fer ries; to repeal tho tenth section of an Act tc appoint a Board of Commissiouers for th( city of Charleston, with power and authority to declare in what cases tho streets, lune! and alleys shall be widened, and to providi for carrying into execution the objects o tho said board, and for other purpose therein mentioned; which were ordered fo consideration to-morrow. A concurrent resolution relative to tb destruction of State Bank bills, was agree? to, nud ordered to be sent to the House o Representatives for concurrence.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Tho House met at ll A. M. A bill to incorporate the Wateree au North Carolina Railroad Company was ren tho third time, title chauged to au Act, an ordered to be enrolled. The account of G. Allen Duncan, M. D of Barnwell County, tovpost mortem exam nation, was referred. A resolution was adopted, that the facull of the University of South Carolina t allowed tho use of the hall of tho House i Representatives for the commeucemei exercises of the graduating cl iss of this sc sion. A resolution was adopted, that this Hon do rosciud its aotiou of tho loth of Marc whereby they postponed the further com deration oT a bill to provide a place of hoi ing court in Barnwell County to tho ne regular session. Whereupon the yeas ai nays were called seven times, and the b finally ordered to bo engrossed. Tho Committee ou the Judiciary, report? favorably on a joint resolution to appoint joint committee of investigation for tl Third Congressional District. A letter was presented on a question privilege, purporting to havo been writb by a member of the. House, and in conne .ion therewith the following preamble ai resolution were introduced aud lai? on t table : Whereas, W. A. Bishop, a member of tl House, has, without authority, presumed act in a very unwarrantable manner writing a letter to a lawful officer of tl State, in Ocouee County, summoning hi to appear in Columbia for trial, witho charge or specification being furuished ; a whereas, such assumption of authority the part of a member of this House is du geroue, not only to our republican instil tions, but to the exercise of comm* courtesy and respect for tho rights of in< vidunls in tho discharge of official dutii therefore, be it Resolved, That tho letter bo referred the Committee on Privileges and Electioi with instrnotions to take such action as t gravity of the subject domands.
