COLUMBIA, S. C. Wednesday Morning, January 26,1870. INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT OB? STE UCTED-THE OBSTR UCTION RADICALISM. Here, in South Carolina, the aspira? tions of the great body of the people white and colored-run in the line of material advancement. The desire to mend hie fortunes is present with almost every man. What people want, is to surround themselves with the comforts and conveniences of home; to gather the means to educate their children, and to lay up something for old age and the or? dinary contingencies of life. But in order to do this effectually, the Govern? ment of the State must open the avenues of enterprise by wise legislation and by economical management-it must reduce the public expenses. A cheap, a wise and an energetic, progressive regime is what we need. This, we havo not. We have a multitude of unnecessary offices. We have a set of officials, some of whom Ure notoriously dishonest. Wc have a Legislature, many of which are utterly ignorant and not a few shamelessly cor? rupt. Take it as a whole, the present Government of South Carolina is an out? rage upon the age and an incubus upon the State. It has little statesmanship, Jess virtue and abounds only in ''cheek." It excels only in the art of making money for itself. Individual exceptions, no doubt, there are, but as a general thing, we oonceive that we ure loyal to truth, in saying what we have said, and true to our journalism in not failing to otter it. We bold that it is the present rule that prevails in South Carolina, ??hich is a bar io the State's progress. It is true, that in spite of this bar, we have done and will contiuue to do much in the way of bettering our condition. But remove thi? bar-givo us in South Caro? lina a decent Government-and wo will move rapidly on the road of recupera? tion. Capital and immigration would come and come abundantly-the spirits of the intelligent people of the State would grow elastic-confidence would bo restored-enterprises would be under? taken-wages would be higher-the State would be vitalized, and the fires of a re? newed patriotism and State pride would glow in breasts now closed to these influ? ences. It is time for us to assert our inalienable rights-not by the sword not by deception-not by compromise with au element that we reject-but by energetic, combined, resolute action at the ballot-box-by a will that conquers a moderation that wins-a reasonable? ness that convinces. Sbakspeare said: .'Fie upon the world: it is an un weeded garden. Things rank and gross in nature possess it merely."' South Carolina is now au uuweeded garden, uud much that is rank and gross in nature doth possess it. Let us see to it that the weeding process is undertaker.-that tue Upns liketree of radicalism is cut dowu. ? ? ? - Tun FBAMKIK? PRIVILEGE.-Senator Shermau, iu his opposition to the aboli? tion of tho franking privilege, says that the petitions in its favor are mostly pre? pared by postmasters for signatures. A .contemporary well says, however, that there ia no class who have botter oppor? tunities' to notice tho disgraceful abuses of the privilege than postmasters, and their active interference in the mutter ?U.*?y be taken as a proof that the evil is one that should be promptly corrected. Tho subject is one that has been dis? cussed for the past twenty years, and Congressmen should gracefully yield their consent to a reform that is demand? ed by all classes of the people, regard? less of party ties or other issues. - - THE TWIGGS' SWORDS,-At a special terra of tho Superior Court of New York, tbs; other day, a motion was mudo by the counsel of Mrs. Florence, (the relative of General Twiggs, who claims possession of the swords of honor left by that vete- : tau, and cribbed by Butler. during bis illustrious reign iu the Crescent City,) to compel the Hero of Big Bethel to show ' cause why he should not be attached for j contempt. Mrs. Florence has thc nerve, j teaaoity and talent ot" Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines, and will have chose s.v?rds, if it ! takes forty years ana every cent she aad ber wealthy connections have. Butler might as well baud over those highly- j ornamented weapons. lu Twiggs' hands, they were of some use to thc "nation," but in his they will only serve to provoke comparisons which will be odious to him. j li he had Napoleon's, Wellington's and Washington's, he could never draw or j sheathe them with honor. It i.s enough ! to make that hard-fighting, hard-swear- i :.og old soldier turn in his grave, to have ' such II parody ou a soldier ns Butler in possession of the evidences ot" his "gal* it:it and meritorious" conduct. The Mechanics' Bauk of New Voile has ben victimized with au altered check from SCO to S10.0G1, certified after it was 'Altered, aud sold to a broker in Wall street. TLC New Yolk Time* says ..the de? mand for a reduction of the taxes has Jpow reached a point at which no govern flleat could afford to disregard it.*' hT.VTK LECUSLUtRK. TUESDAY, JANT/ARV 25 BEN ATE. The Semite met at 12 ni. Preaideut pro lem. Montgomery in the Chair. Mr. Haye? introduced a preamble and resolutions relative to the death of Hon. L. Boozer. Mr. Hayes spoke in support of his resolution, and said: MR. PRESIDENT: The telegraph has already announced to the people of South Carolina the melancholy tidings of the death of Judge Boozer; and, sir, while that announcement has caused sorrow to many stricken hearts, it is upon the peoplo of his native country that this sad intelligence has fallen with the most crushing power. He was, in many re? spects, a remarkable mau-a mau of great decision of churactcr and of fixed principles-and he lins passed away, leaving no blot upou his unsullied name. My acquaintance with Judge Boozer was of long duration, uud of the most intimate and friendly character, and dates back to the period of my earliest recollec? tion. At that time, and to thc period of his elevation to the Bench, he wno the leading lawyer at the Lexington Bar. He was born, if I am correctly in? formed, in the year 1808, and graduated from the South Carolina Collego, iu 1828 or 1829. At the ago of twenty-four, he was chosen by the peoplo of Lexington to represent them iu the State Legisla? ture, since which time he has occupied a prominent place in the political history of this country. In I860, he was a mem? ber of the National Democratic Conven? tion, which met in Charleston, to nomi? nate, candidates for President and Vico PreBident of the United States, and, j when the split took place iu that body, Judge Boozer and ex-Governor Perry, of the South Carolina delegation, alone re? mained. He opposed the seccssiou movement with all the vigor cf his great mind, and declared that if it were carried out, it would inaugurate a civil war such as hud been rarely witnessed by mankind. Tho result verified tho wisdom of his forecast. Immediately after the close of that san? guinary struggle, ho was among thc first in the State to como forward to aid in the reconstruction of this Government. Sir, ho was, emphatically, a Union mao; he ioved this Government with an nitec tion bordering upon idolatry, and to its preservation lie devoted all thc energies of a long aud blameless life. Tho resolutions were seconded and unanimously adopted. The following papers were received from the House: Joint resolution to pro? vide for the indigent poor of tho State; bill to extend the time for the paymeut of teachers; joint resolutions to advance SG.O?O per mouth to the Superintendent of tho South Carolina Penitentiary, until the necessary appropriations for continu? ing the building; to incorporate tho Dclancey Kifle Company; to alter and ameud the charter of tuc town of Spar ? tanburg. Mr. Hayes introduced a bill to charter ! the Lexington and Newberry Railroad, i Notice was given of bills to provide ? for the filling of vacancies in the oflices I of Sheriff; to amend au Act fixing the : ; salaries of certain officers, j report of Committee L>U the Judiciary on House concurrent resolution for a : Joiut Assembly to elect :m Associate Jus- ? I tice of the Supreme Court, was adopted | land sent to tue Honse ot Representa-1 i tive.s. At 3 o'clock, adjourned. ; HOUSE OF REPREbENTATIVES. 1 The House met at 12 ru Speaker ! ?Moses iu the Chair. ? Mr. C. D. Hayue, from the Commit- j I tee appointed to prepare suitable pre? amble and resolutions in regard to the; j death o: Hon. Lemuel Boozer, submit- ! I ted the following: Whereas, ia the mysterious dispensa- ' ! lions of au over-ruling Providence, it hath pleased the Almighty Judge of the ' i universe to remove from his sphere cf i ; usefulness among us, cue who. by his i j patriotism, fidelity and honesty, had : f filled the hearts of our people with love, ! I respect aua gratitude towards bim, and ! held with an evenly balanced hand thc i scales of justice committed to his care, and whereas, by his untimely demise, South Carolina has lost forever one of i tho brightest jewels in her diadem of j State. And whereas, it is alwrys becom- ! I ing iu those who sincerely mourn, to pay ! ! a titting tributo cf respect and esteem to I the memory ot thoso for whose decease j they 6orrow, therefore- be it Resolved, That the House of iiepre ; 8outatives has received, with heartfelt regret, the intelligence >. f tho death of' the late Jr.dge Boo/.er, a:i<: regard his | loss as a public calamity. Resolved, That we look upon hid bright1 example in all that constituted the hon- ? est and patriotie citizen, as ono worthy! to be followed by all who desire to emu lute those publie ana private virtues, tho . general prevalence of which '.viii give to ' South Caroiiuu a community, than v hieb none higher i an su.ywhen exist. Resolved, That an eugro-sed copy '.: , thia preamble and rcvolutious, signed by the speaker and atteste 1 by tho" Clerk*, bo forwarded tu thu family of tho de? ceased, ad expressive ul the -ler p nv ai- j pdthy ot tili.-. House. Ou motion. Speaker ; - .?? ai-, lowed to vacate hts s '?t. when .Mr. Whip- : per tvok the Chair. Mr. Moses arose j and seconded tue preuuj' le aud resolu? tions as follows Mr.. SPEAKER.: 1 trust this preamble' and these resolut.on will be unanimous- ': ly adopted. It i- .?r iper that the legis- . : lutivo department ot the Government 1 should pay a merit sd tribute to the mern- :1 orv of tho dignitary whose ttidden ! )ss I will be deplored by the whole people of i \ South Carolina. While .t may more pe- i culiarly belong to the Judiciary to take ; ] such action as will preserve upon its re-1 i cord its est?malo of tho bereavement to l < which it has been subjected, it becomes 11 us, as a component, part of this General !1 Assembly, from which the deceased was | elevated to the honorable position which ?( he held, to set forth, in an enduring form, j ' our high appreciation of tho character, | 1 loo.ruing and worth of the departed, and our sincere participation in the publio sorrow which now mourns the loss of the State in the deaf* of one of its best citi? zens and highest officers. The Hon. Lemuel A. Boozer was born in Lexing? ton County. He was a graduate of the South Carolina College, and soon after he left its walls, with distinction, he en? tered on the study and practice of the law. No better evidence can be adduced of the .standing and reputation of a citi? zen than that which is afforded by the testimony of the community in which he waa born and lived. Tested by this rule, the character of the deceased will blazon forth with a light which will render clear the high estimate placed upou him by those who knew him best. Always a favorite ot the people, he was, soon after his majority, sent to the House of Rep? resentatives, and, by repeuted elections thereafter, was returned to tho Senate. There, for years, he was recognized as au able debater and a clear-sighted logis- j later. Never having iu view the advance? ment of the chosen few, but compre? hending the true position of the repre? sentativo of the people, he looked to the prosperity and welfare of the Stute, irre? spective of personal ambition, and cure? less of, aud indifferent to, all influences save those of which an honest heart and a sound judgment could approve. When, from one end of South Carolina to the other, the mad shock of secession was felt, faithful amoug the faithless, be faced its force, and could not be allured from his positiou by either the favor or frowns of those who ruli?d the political simoon. He swerved not from the line of duty which be hud prescribed for him? self. Firm and steadfast in his principles, amid the raging contest as to who should be the foremost mau to strike the blow, he still venerated the uniou of his fathers, and would raise no unhallowed baud against it. During to risk ail the direful cousequeuees which might follow his isolation from those who had hereto? fore been the favorites of the State in his constant, unmoved stand, he pre? sented a picture upon which every true lover of his country might look with admiration and delight. The existence of such meu marks epochs :u the history of the world. At the close of the war, when the results of the rebellion were brought home to those who, after 'sowing tho storm." were then "reaping the whirlwind,*'and South Carolina could be re-admitted to the Union only by an acceptance of the terms and conditions prescribed by the reconstruction Acts, whilst he knew that from his old associ? ates it was but inviting obloquy and abuse, he had the moral courage to act on the convictions of his judgment, and lent tho aid of his character and expe? rience to build upon the ruins of the post a monument to freedom, which we trust may be as enduring aa time itself. What cared he for the smile or tho frown ol this or that dissatisfied (because disap? pointed) politician, when he felt that his assistance was required in the organiza? tion of a new State, which promised peace, happiness and advancement to al the people, irrespective of race or color. He accepted a seat in the Convention, from his old County, and was instru mental iu framing a constitution, undei whose provisions this General Assembly is held. As a tribute to his worth, ami as a slight evidence of the regard am: appreciation of the Republican party, lit was nominated and elected Lieutenant Govcrnc r. On the organization of tin State Judiciary, he was elected, by c most fluttering vote, Judgo of the Fiftl Circuit. All that was expected of him who had proved au honest statesman was realized, to its fullest exteut, whet transferred to a new forum. Learned it the law-firm and impartial-his jadtcia career, though brief, was such as to ex tort, eveu from these politically op posed tc him. the tribute of respect ant praise. We must not venture to intrude inti that private circle of which he was tin head. Kind, charitable, pure, ht gathered around him a loved and happi family, who, iu this hour of their grea bereavement, must be consoled by tin assuaging reflect iou that they have it their sorrow tho sympathy of all win knew the one they have lost, and thu they eau justly hope that his good work: on earth have earned for him a place ii Heaven. Whilo we tender hts family our heartfelt condolence, and expr?s; the loss which the State has suffered, lc this mournful event teach us to remem ber that all is but mortal here below and let it also induce us to bear with tb frail ties and infirmities of each othe with a patience and temper that will thc bette r prepare us for that solemn da; when tho deeds of the flesh shall bi judged of in tho .->pirit.
