The South Carolina Legislature. 1
We style it a South Carolina Legislature '
because it is so anting, ami lias the present
power to m?ke ami nn make lnwa. The
I meeediop* so far hive I-ecu preliminary,
except the pa??oge o( the homestead law, as
required I y the Constitution, and the elec ,
tion of l*i iie?i State* Senators. Thomas J. |
Robkktsox ha* been el.cti-d for the short i
term, ami P. W. SivvRn for the long term, i

although lei- I' publican, he ie not <

He is n Northern n tin by Lirlh, ami more c

ivnl C?ugreee, van only he iuOnenced by
one n>otiv?? a lovj? of office. Mr. Sawykr,
from his cdutntit n, tuny bo more excusable
for bit Radicalism, but a unlive of the State,
who lints read hooks and history, nutl seen
the Africans all tils life, who strives to place
them in power and control over oil the r'.
fairs of tlic State, like Mr. Mack?y, must be
mistrusted, even by the negroes themselves.
They know very veil that they arc not en*
title 1 to l?e fhe rulers of the State, alilmugh
h" nnd others may tc'l them so, and that it
i? not f"t the good of their own race, or for
the good of iho whites, that they should be.
The question of removing the Legislature
t<? Greenville for the balance of the summerlias
been discus cd In the J-egielnture, but
we see Ibnt a vote upon the proposition in
the B'-nnte, laid it on the tahle, by 13 to 5b
We learn by genllcrm-n jnstfrom Columbia,
that the proposition will again be brough
up, and it i? not yet positively certain tlm
it may not succeed.
Th's meeting of Ilio Legislature is a very
inipor'nnt one, and must have an immense
inflito *ee on (lie welfare of the Slate, whether
for evil or for good. Wcliopc that there
are good nnd sensible men enough in both
I ranches t-> shape nnd carry through those
measures that the country requires. The |
Iloniest. n?l 15111 is one of these; wo rejoice
Utah this tins been passed. We feel that, it ^
l.a? b.-en n ifiwt hm> And sore iliMAlrr to this
Stale; that such a mea?are had not been
perf-clrii more than twenty years ego,
eiol tin-re wns no excuse for the Legislature
which wns elected under the Constitution

wns the most. Active membetof the Conven
lion in seettrinc the Adoption of the cTaubc
of the Constitution enforcing tliis noble and
benifieent measure Tliis is another thing
which the old f-gvism cf the laic white
Legislature rijeetrd, ns if lliey were rejoie-d
aI the opportunity which the war
ruin aflfnrdet of pi rpetuuting the spoliation
of ftH the property and subsieteuce of the
women of the eonntry.
We hope the Legislature will pass over
for the present, the attempt to oigsniae A
system of free ecdiAnle, not that we nre oppos
d to general education ; but the poverty
of the S**i?'e, nnd the hope that Congress
mny appr-qria'e mean? for se.hools In this
State, is n powerful reason for non action
f ?r the present Session.
II<?n IX T. Corni*. Chairman of the Senate
Jmlirlnrj Committee, has introduced a
l?i!1 laying nil the State into eight Circuits
ami providing for the election of oigh,
Jni'sKS?iflre' ntilh, Pickens, Oconee, and
Ar.dcraon, are to form one Circuit, This
will he quite compact ami convenient, and
every Com t House but on", approachable
by railroad. Pickens is accessible by n
# w honrs ride from Greenville.
We believe there B'O members of this
legislature ilcslrons of serving the State,
and earning a reputation as real benefnc
tors of the country in those matters where
were parly is not concerned. There is a
large poition of them in favor of removing
*11 iliiffanchkriucnts, without regard to
party, and it is pn?ible that before the
laxly adjourn*, a resolution to this effect
m y he pnsail, although the propoeitro*
already Introduced, was tabled in the Sen
a^c. It is hardly possible that any one projessing
to he in faTor ot liberty can continue
to-oppose the liberty of a large class of the
kvet people In the State. As long as they
<h> this tvir sincerity must be (questioned
on all hau la.
As soon as the Judiciary Bi 1 has pnssedi,
the "lection for Judges will bike place. Ms.
Cor.niv, w* learn, is spoken of as Chief
Justice, Judge Mosks as one of the Appeal
Judges, ?ho the other may he we know
not, and It. is not kno.wn who ore to he
^lectedi Ckcuit Judges.
Hot Weather in Greenville and AbroadTlie

very great. The thermometer at Greenville
has been no high as 93? in the shade. In

On Sunday evening last, the very oppress

Chancellor Carrol. 1
The eloso of tbo Inst Equity Coart, bald by
his distinguished jurist was at Urcenvilla.?
Fhe members of the Urcenvlllo Bar, with gen- '
Llemen also of the Bar from oilier Districts '
lid not let the occasion pass without giving 1
jxprcssion to their high appreciation of the '
Chancellor, both in his official and personal I
character. J. P. listen, Kiq., of Anderson, <
was selected as tho mouthpiece of tho fratcr- i
nitjr. and in his usanl very felicitous manner, i
ho gavo assurance to his Honor of tbo common
footings of tbo Bar, their high eitccin fur
tbo able, impartial and rourtc< as behavior of
tbo Chancellor, and their profound regret at
parting with hi* services, occasioned by the
new order of things. IV o shall not attempt a
report of the very appropriate remark* of Mr.
Ukro, nor of tho reply of the Chancellor, llo
expressed his thanks for tho complimentary
Kntlmonts of the Bur, and reciprocated their
reelings of reg.fd. lie said tho judiciary had
Kten treated with tuoro forbearance than any
itbor department o( tho old State tlovcrnment.
Fbo Court of Equity especially, was tho Inst
>runch to wither ftad dlo. Tho closo of the
7ourt nt Greenville, was the last term ho expected
ever to hold. His Honor mado some
Itting remarks upon tho common doom which
had overtaken our Stnto Institutions.
Tho Judiciary of South Caroliun has over
occupied a high and honorable distinction
itnong tbnt of tho other States, and Chancellor
Carroll has worthily maintained in bis
own person, that deserved cniineneo for ability
ind tlioso qualities tbnt adorn tho Bench.
Organization of tho Militia Dangor
Threatened.
The recommendation <f Gov. Fix-tt, to
rgnnizc the militia, and to have them arm
cd, or a chosen baud armed and eqnipped
For service, shows badly. There Is no need
lor this standing nrmy in tlia State, and l'
snrikd out, we look for evil limes. Stnndng
armies are tyrants' instruments all over
lie world. The consummation of the mill,
.in mensnrc, and the granting of power to
;he Governor to suspend the liahens corpus,
educes the boasted free Coiixtitution of this
itate, (said to be so superior to its predoccs
lorsl'.) to an unmitigated despotism. Whnt
nonsense to tnik about bil't of rights, pr'vi
leges ot the citizens, and nil Ihnt, in the
itato Cons'llnllon, if the Legislature enn
lulhorize a Governor to suspend the habeas
Borpns net when he ple??e# to say there is

Lite Mine time, whom he will to slay, or im- i
prison, ami whom he will to keep alive, j
like the royal KBMUoiui>!??:zz.tR of old.? I
Why, one would suppose that Ihr army of |
the United States, which '.ho Governor o' (
fvery Stale has a right to call upon, through (
the President, would be sufficient to keep (
iown insurrection, violence and wrong?if i
it should ever happen in any locality of the i
3'atc, that the civil power faded to do so, ,
ho ordinary posse comitatis would d > this |
Why shoiiM the habeas corpus he sus- |
ponded iu this State, even by a Radical i
llnte government? Will they not have i

aws 1 Why should it he supposed that the |
lew created judiciary authorities would j
mproperly discharge from arrest any one ,
n South Carolina f It strikes lis that Gen. |
!i?m lies forgotten, in this rccommcndn |
ion, that lie is no loneer in the regular 1
irmy. Wo trust, the judicious recommends \
lions of his incsage will he carried out; I
but for the sake of lb- State and nil par |
lies In It, wc hope his armed militia organi i
tnlion. and habeas corpus suspension will
lail.
The Camden .Tturual is very dec! I d on
this head. We give the following extract
irom that paper of the 18lh :
"While Gov. So-TT announces with he
nign complacency, ' that no man in the
State shall he snhj?-et to violence because of
his political faith or utterances,' and that
' the citizen ia amenable only to the Intr' he
adds, '/intend to enforce the laws of Ihe

imuL' For \\i\* forcible adininist ration of law,
true to the despotic instincts of his party an*'
the apprenticeship of tyranny from whieli
he haa so recently emerged, he urges the
pliant Instruments of hi* despotism, to eon
fer on him the power to suspend t lie hnbea*
corpu* net, at hi* pleasure, and to n'low his
civM stsff of prosecuting oflieete. lotrans'er
the cases of pcranna charged with crime, to
adjacent Districts for trial, win never they
can procure (as in any ease they may) an
affidavit -Hint justice cannot 1>e obtained
against a prisoner in the District where the
venue lay. lie urges also the organ inn I ion
of a militia and says he lias already the a?*
surance that they will l>e armed with the
most approved broech-loading weapons,
such,in fact, as no militia of any country
were aver placed in possession of, in time
of p. am. If this does not mean an nggraVited

a milhin to he organised in the interest of
the despot, th. n we are unnhie to eompre

i Cot. Tntrn**, time Sir t?I ham jast reach
with deep interest the address of Kx-Ooveraon
One, to " the Peoplo of 8outh Carolina."
It is to be hoped that the papers throughout
the Stale will copy that aery able, oloarv
and comprehensive production.
He sets forth in a clearer and dispassionate?
light, tho views he etitor??ln? ?f ?K? ?
tton," and the mot ire* that ututed bin in
! chu ?li?rharge of his dnties O or era or of theState.
ILt deserves well of bis country snct
and is entlttotb t* the thanks of the people for
the wiso and conciliatory eonrse he has taken,
' whilst at the hetmn of the ship of State.
Despite the hitter erissiaeth as, pronounced
against him, he pusenn* the even tenor of
l hi* way,r looking solely tb the good order and
, welfare of the country, uninfluenced by the
i denunciations ef enemies, ea the solicitations
> and importunities of friend's.
Now that his work fs done, the people of (Restate
whom he has to ably served1, should tew
. 'for themselves the full vindication, of His
, course. A tried pnblie servant, a statesman
- of comprehensive view*, possessing talents eg
1 the highest order, smd* a gents# aa<l eonsiiia1
tory disposition thoaM not be permitted to re?
inn in i* rtko n??ot rtlntti of home.
The Slate needs the services of such men lu>

he will again he called to some poet of honour
and use To In ess. Yours truly, ?
