THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE.
Governor Sheppard's message was
road to the General Assembly on last
Wednesday morning, and it is one of
the ablest State papers we have read in
many a day. For good, hard common
flense and practical observations, we
. have never known it to be excelled.
The message is rather long for publication,
but in this article we propose to
call attention to some of the salient
points contained in it.
Of course, the first thing which engages
the attention of the Governor is
in relation to the finances of the State.
He embodies in his message the report
of the Comptroller General, which shows
the valid indebtedness of the State to be
something over $6,500,000.
A I1U UVIIC^VIVU VI ll^AV
his attention, and he shows from the entire
area of the State and the number of
acres returned for taxation, there must
be at least 2,0(30,000 acres which are not
taxed. He then Bhows by a very plain
table that a "uniform and equal rate of
assessment and taxation is not laid."
Lands by this table vaTy in assessment
from $7.98 per acre in Charleston county,
to $0.93 in Horry. He then shows that
there is a material difference between
the actual selling price and the assessed
value of. land, varyi"g from 107 per
cent, in Hampton county, to 45 percent.
. In Spartauburg. From the report of the
1^ USinking Fund Commission we learn
i Vhat there arc on the forfeited land reU
\ords 961,626 acres of land, valued at
I -1879,299. To remedy these defects
B yjlovernor recommends that section
mf the General Statute bo amended
Ri. , _JI to enlarge the powers and increase
* the responsibilities of the Township J
llnnrHfl nf Acanacnra nnntnn^innr ri?Vitlv
'^ink, ^iat those Boards being ac'm
quainted with the residents and familiar .
with the property of their respective
townships, can more readily and accuJ!
jrately determine the actual value of the
I m i,r"PertX 'n their respective townships
| M than can the County Board or the Count}'
Auditor. Ho recommends that every ,
| .owner or agent whose duty it is to re- ,
tarn property, be required to do so in
person and upon oath. That Township
Boards be required upon oath to nsses* ,
I Jiinds at its actual exchangeable value. (
1 That appeals he regulated as now?that i
\ is. from tho Township Boards to the 1
Mrj County Boards, and from the lattor to '
i ihe Comptroller General. That mem- ,
f . aera of those Hoards be not excused i
from jury duty, but paid such a sum per
4jeuu for a limited time, as will compen- !
sat? them for the work done. These
changes in the law as it now exists would t
render unnecessary a State Board of
Equalisation, The Governor also recom- 1
mends that no lands be sold for the non$1
|?*ymentv <*f faxes, except by authority
W of a decree of Court* 1
* Among the recommendations made
SI fOQccming tb<* administration of justice,
I <ho Governor wisely suggests thai much i
valuable time could be saved to the <
courts by the passage of a law giving 1
tlni fitroilinti of fhn orranfl inrv nnornr tn
o j j i"""" ?v
swear prosecuting witnesses. He also {
rccoiqn^u^.drt the fee bill .be revised so as
to limit jho number of days for which
costs may be taxed, for references before
Masters nnd referees. #
Tlve "Governor then takes up the Trial
Justice system, and after remarking on
its many defects, suggests that the difficulties
may bo bridged by dividing the
Tjtfal Justices into two classes?judicial
and ministerial?r-both havingcivil jurisMiction
as now prescribed by law. On
Ahis subject be says :
"Tber# should be one Judicial Trial
- Justice for each county, to be located at
ibe&Mirt Hqosq', be should be paid a
reasonable salary, and should not be al- (
fojred coats or fees in criminal cases; he <
Should have criminal jurisdiction as now i
provided by laar, excepting cases of
larceny; ho should he required to
'bear and determine' all cases sent to i
him by the Ministerial Trial Justices. i
^'Ministerial Trial Justices in oriminal
jaoatters should have the Jurisdiction only '
fit 'XJoqamitUng Magistrates;' that is to ,
My, they should have authority to issue i
. mjtxrwlB, causo arrests to bo made, in- 1
veftjgate offenses, and commit, or bind
.oror for trial; if upon investigation they ,
find the matter to be without the juris die- i
(Jon of the Couft of Sessions, they should
' !>e required to forward the record to the
Judicial Trial Justice. Thus can b? accopoplisned
the purposes of a County i
ife y . / ,,
L
CJourt without incurring the expense incident
thereto."
The Governor then refers to the exexpense
incurred by different counties
in thp if I'Hnuiiitrlntinn ??T n.\nv!?lo ?? ?1>"
penitentiary, and recommends t)io passage
of an act requiring the Superintendent
of the Penitentiary to provide
for their transportation. The report of
the Superintendent of Education is referred
to in encouraging terms, and also
the other institutions of learning under
the care of the State. Appropriations
for their continuance are all recommended.
With regard to the South Carolina
College, he recommends a reasonable
tuition fee be charged.
The Apriculturwl College is recommended,
provided the resources of the
State will bear the expense of providing
for and supporting it.
Ho submits reports of the Agricultural
Department, the Penitentiary, and the
various other departments connected
with the government.
Estimates for the completion of the
State House are submitted and left for
the Legislature to determine what the
amount of the annronriation will bo.
The Governor then calls the attention
oT the Legislature to a resolution that
was passed in 1861, voting a medal to
Gen. N. G. Evans, but which had never
been carried out, and recommended that
the Governor, out of his contingent
fund, be authorized to carry out the resolution.
The city of Charleston then coinos in,
ahd such measures for its relief as seem
best to the General Assemblly are recommended.
He submits the vole cast at the last
election on the constitutional amendment,
and calls the attention of the General
Assembly to the matter of the
census.
The message, as we said in the outset,
was a most admirabie one, and has raised
Governor Sheppard much higher in the
estimation of the whole State.
The General Assembly.
Columbia, November 26
The committee appointed on Wednesday
to provide foi the opening of the
proceedings of the House with prayer
presented Dr. 0. A. Darby,of the Columbia
Female College, who offered a brief
and appropriate petition for the Divine
blessing.
The most interesting business of the
day was, of course, the announcement of
the standing committees. The Speaker
had spent all of Thanksgiving Day and
nearly the whole of last niejht in making
up the list, which shows that clear and
judicious judgment that has characterized
all the official acts of Speaker
Simons.
Out of the twenty-six committees
twenty chairmanships fall to old members,
who are, of course, more familiar
with the routine of business, and are
more likely to facilitate the business of
the House. The chairmanships of the
committee on public buildings, accounts,
Penitentiary, printing, engrossed bills,
Legislative Library are entrusted to new
members. The Charleston members get
three chairmanships, Mr. Brawlej' heing
rchairman of the committee on privileges
and elections, Mr McHugh of the military
committee, and Mr. Ficken of the
committee on Lunatic Asylum.*
Mr. Parker is chairman of the Judicinry,
and also a member of the committee
on Rules.
Each of the other members from Abbeville
are on two committees, as follows:
Mr. Robinson.?Privileges and Elections,
and Enrolled Acts.
Mr. Mars,?Agriculture and Commerce
and Manufacturing.
Mr. Young,?Lunatic Asylum, and
Education.
Mr. Barmore.?Public Buildings and
Engrossed Bills.
THE 8TOCK LAW AND THE FARMEK8.
During* the monrning hour quite a
lumber of petitions were presented, including
the usual number for the exemption
of certain townships from the operalions
of the stock law.
Mr. Tindnl preserted the memorial of
he Farmers' Associntion covering the
ilatform adopted by the recent Convention,
and asked that the memorial be
A ^ J
pniiieu.
Mr. Ansel, of Greenville, said he
irould have to object. The custom was
or memorialists to print their petitions
.hemselves if they desired them printjd.
Mr. Tindal said that the matters injluded
in the meinoria! were of interest
to a very large body of the citizens of
:his State, and it was very necessary that
t should be laid before the members.
Fhe motion to print was agreed to on a
iivision, by a vote of 70 ayes, the nays
lot being counted. The memorial was
Lhen divided up and referred to the
rarious appropriate committees.
The petition of F. W. Dawson and
ithers for a charter for the News and
Courier Job Printing Company, was
referred to the committee on corporation.
NEW BILL.8
During the morning hour a number of
new bills were introduced. The follow
