I ?ASMH3?fr 1 I "wbdSSSDIT myiM. BRIBES M, ML j I The Legislature ~We have made such ex" I tracts from the lwUrna's ?f this body as our lim^ its allowed deemed of interest to our readH ers. Pen. James H. Hammond was, on the 8th & inst. elected Governor, and J. D. Witherepoon York, Lieutenant Governor, and R. Q,. PinckHpJ^y Secretary of State. Mr. Feldcr has introduced a resolution in the f Senate to efFect a total separation of Bank and State; to enquire into the expediency of abolishing the Bank of the State; requiring the Bank to call in all notes under the denomination of five dollars, and prohibiting the issue of any bills under that denomination; requiring the Comptroller General and President of the Bank to report at the next -session the amount of debts due the ' Bank and its brandies, designating the good, doubtful and desperate, with the names of the debtors, which was ordered to be laid on the table and printed. From our correspoiulent. Columbia, Dec. 10, 1842. Our new Governor was inaugurated this morning. ? Gov. Ri#l>aj(Json on leaving the chair of State, delivered hie valedictory in his usual happy and effective manner, I believe it has not heretofore been the course of ceremony on the * occasion for the Chief .Magistrate of the State f on delivering the seal of office to his Successor, I to take leave of the Legislature in an address. I r think however, there is great propriety in it, and suppose the form will hereafter be adhered to. * * t- l-j i\o election lias yet oeen nau ior ocuawi m supply the vacancy occasioned by the much regretted resignation of our distinguished Statesman, .1/it. Calhoun. All regret that he has re- j linquished the commanding position which afforded liirn so fine an opportunity of exhibiting to the world, the extraordinary powers of his intellect, and the distinguished abilities which have induced his countrymen to place him at the head of American Statesman. Who will be his Successor, I cannot inform you. Judge HuGERis considered as the most prominent man and the most worthy to occupy the seat of the distinguished Caij: i'*n, yet the "lesser lights" desire to put forth, so;- > one of their own brilliant stars ?anxious that t.ieir candle may not be hid under the bushel; I presume a few days will decide the issue. The "big" Joint Committee of which JJ/r. 3/oses of Sumter is Chairman in the Senate, and .Mr. If nt of Charleston Chairman in the House, to whom was referred the consideration of the expediency of altering the times and sittingsof the several Courts of Law and Equity, and the Courts of Appeal, has made its report recommending the passage of a bill, which is ordered for consideration to-morrow. The great purpose to be accomplished by a change is to remedy the grievances under which the good people of Charleston labor by the effect of the present system. For instance in January their Courts of Law and Equity is sitting at the same time, in February before the adjournment of the Law Court, their Appeal Court commences. Added to this, their sitting of the A/ay Court takes in the Spring, a Law Judge for the Court of Appeal at Columbia. The hill first reported fixes the sitting of the Law Courts for Charleston at the I same time that the country courts are held.? i The rest of the State is divided into five circuits,' and a Solicitor appointed to each. Thus you see the expense of the salary o! a new solicitor is saved?a matter of consideration in these hard times. The court of Appeals is proposed to be held only at Columbia???n the 4th Monday in November to set until 1st Monday in March, if business is not sooner disposed of?and on 1st Monday in May for 4 weeks; the times for taking up the several circuits to be fixed by the Judges of which previous notice is to be given. It is likely that the bill will pass. The bank committee tonight made their nomination of directors for the next year. The following are the persons proposed.?D. C. XVeldi, XV. A. Carson, (}. JV. Remolds, M. C. Dukes, C. T. Lowndes, M. T. Maiden!,alt, R. J. Caldwell, .4. McDonald, Hall T. XlcGee, Jno. S. Ashr, Lawlon, and Bowie. You will thus see that two new directors are proposed; to wit Col. Ashe, representing the planting interpst, and J. N. Reynolds of Charleston representing the interest of mechanics. The gentlemen on the nominating committee from your congressional district, were AIr. Moses and Mr. Chesnut. T enrrnof sav that Columbia is as livelv as it usually is at this season, I suppose the "hard times" have contributed to this result. The members are working1 harder than I have ever known thern, and I assure you a Senator or Representative to do his duty here, has no easy task; for instance at 9, A. |m. he goes on a committee sits there until A past 11; at 12 the House meets, and frequently sit until 4A; at 6, again on come mittce, until 10. So you sec with the times they allot to making out reports, they do not have an idle moment. Congress.? This body assembled on the 5th inst In the Senate, there was no quorum until Wednesday; on that day the President sent in message, but the northern mail having failed on .Monday, we have not received it. The annexed letter, which we copy from the Charleston Courier, gives all the news of interest, as yet receiv_ cd. W.r,n*.- K 1ft49 " "- ""-"i Wc have no President's Message yet, on account of there being no quorum in the SenateMr. Everett, of Vermont, has given notice that he will introduce a bill to repeal the Bankrupt Law, and it is believed that it will certainly be repealed. The tariff will bo so far modified as to udmit the warehouse system, but no other modification will likoly be adopted. The Exchequer scheme will be pressed by the friends of the administration, but will not pass. Mr. Adams will occupy tho rest of the session with abolition petitions. In the mean time distress is increa?.ig?and tobacco is selling in the western states at 2 els., hogs at 1 cent, per lb., and com at 8 .;c. '.s. per bushel. i The Government is unable to devise the wars ami means for carrying on its functions; and an extra session is already talked of. What a spectacle is ex. liibitcd to the world! A people dying under a load of the fruits of the earth?a Government woakoncd bv inability to procure the necessary aliment. As it regards parties, the whigs arc notdiscouragcd. They say that in IS 14 things will bo worsj than they now are, and the people will look to them for relief, h The democrats are more than confident?but thcro v are shrewd statesmen who dread the recent victories. 8 It may divide the protective democratis from the ^ free trade democrats. j Professor Henry has been elected President ] of the South Carolina College. r Turnips.?Capt. J. Bowcn left at our office, * last week, a Turnip weighing 6=) lbs. which we considered a large one, until a day or two since, c when Col. J, C. ilaile sent us a couple from his < Lynches creek plantation; one of which weighs . 11$ and the other 10? lbs. SOUTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE [ Sena-e, Friday, Dec. 2, 1842.

'Subject to Tto Convention."?Many ofj the Whig papers are endeavoring to make !, political capital out of the words standing at the editorial head of the Edgefield Ad- < vertiser, viz: "Not subject to the action of any Convention." Wc can at once si- ! lence their voices on this score, for we , know, and so do others, that John C. Calhoun does not sanction this bold ex- 1 pression. They are the private matters of the editor of the Advertiser, and of no < other person; and we believe that they were intended as such, and nothing else. We all know that Mr. Calhoun would not he controlled by such a high handed measure. He is willing to be a candidate, subject, however, to the decision of a Convention, or to the voice of the people. Wc hope that hereafter editors will refrain from harping on this subject; if not, they will be contending against a thing that has no existence; and they must recollect that there are other papers in South Carolina, as friendly to Mr. Calhoun, and as well conducted as the one to which they pitch their spite. , The Democratic press likewise have ta- , ken up an erroneous opinion on this sub- , ject, as will be seen in another column, which we have inserted to inform our readers how matters are going. We again repeat, be not alarmed there is no danger. Hamburg Journal.
