tioD. _
MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT.
Ihof e, gentlemen, that the period
is now rapidly approaching when the
people of this State chu givejess time
aud attetilion to political niluirs and
devote themselves to the material^de-
veloptnent ;df the htate. I do not
mean to imply that they should aban
don all Interest in those public matters
usually understood m» political. Oil
tlie contrary, every gooil citizen should
take a deep interest in such issues.
The character of the government
under which a people live exerts a
more powerful influence upon their
destiny thau alt other agencies cogi-
hlued, and that character almost en
tirely depends upon the character of
ihe governtti'c'nt officials. That gov-
erntuent is best which is best adminis
tered,-aud the highest and surest guar
antee to this end Is capacity and in
tegrity on ths part of those to whom
the cliffere nt depart to chfcs are entriist-
e<l.
Under our system, this depends on
the manner in which the elective fran
chise is exercised, not by a few but by
the whole people; hence, It follows
that every good citizen should take
active part aud exert all hie influence
towards the accomplishment of that
great end—good government—which
iu itself is the beginning aud founda-
tlou of all progress fcnd prosperity.
But good government has now been
accouipliHhrd iu 8 rath Carolina. Home
rule baa been rescued from the hands
of those political brigands tvho mn-
rAuried the State for so long a time,
and I hope that it has been made per
manent ; if not, it ceitpinly can he
made so by tlie continued observance
of those great aud wise principles ot
justice ami equal protection to. all
which basso eminently distinguished
the present administration, and which
so fully meets the approbation of the
go at heart of the people- Su'ch be
ing the fact, it is,time to begin rpute-
is I .recuperation iu carm-sr. 'After

penitentiary convicts, besides others in
the county Jails. This Is a great mine
of useful lab>>r cotnparallvi ly lost to
the State. All this labor should be
utilized in the development of our re-
aouisee. We bate rivers that need
deepening, canals thntoughttobedug,

beautiful stream that flows by the cap
ital now useless and wasted on account
of a few trifling obstructions across lift

many other Important enterprises con
summated by a systematic employ
ment, through a series of years, of the
labor supplied r rom this source. If
men will commit crime, what better
atonement to the public for their v|-
clous conduct thm to be made useful
in the development of those matteis
In which the tvhole people arc interest
ed. The forfeiture and sequestration,
so to spcRK, of their labor to the pub
lic good, it seems to me, would be a
more sensible, humane and effective
punishment to them than the immur
ing cf their bodies In cells and dun
geons, and at the same time would af
ford some compensation for the evils
which they have committed.
If we intend to b(*come a great, strong
aud prosperous State, the mudsills of
our building must be made of material
devHoprtent. Commence with that,
and all the other elements of strength
and greatness will come of themselves.
The lien law expires by its own |lm-
Ration on the 1st of January next.
This law seems to have been sell ma
tured at the last session. It protects
the interests of the landlord, opens a
way for the poor man who has nothing
but his health and muscles upon which
to obtain credit to make these availa
ble, mid it cheapens the arrangement
of recording and filing, and I think it
would promote the welfare of the peo
ple to have It i'e-etideted.
CONCLUSION. ,
In conclusion, gentlemen, permit me
to congratulate the General Assembly
and the whole Bute upon the peace
and good order which has marked the
conduct of our people during the post
year, and especially during the exci
ting eticumstances of tKe political
campaign through which we have Just
passed. Since the late war we have
constantly claimed that if the State
could but lie placed back under the
control of those to whom it rightfully
befringed, OTTBCWqiM of their supeflor
qualifications of integrity, competen
cy and Intelest, free from foreign In
terference and domestic Ineompetency
and mbtule, that the violence and
turbulence thereby engendered, aud
which were fast becoming chronic fea-
m ed in iter history, would Instantly
TAKE NOTICE.

fEDri-AT^ON.
The report of the; State Superinten
dent of Education gives an encourag
ing account of the condition of the pub
lic schools.
The' fiat General Assembly made
some importuut chaugis in the School
law, which is now better adapted to
the wants of our people.
The report shows that llG,23d chil
dren attended the public h^'oIb last
yi-tt*-; an increase of nearly 14,000 over
the number reported for the preceding
year. This fact, together with the in
terest in education manifested by all
classes of our citizens, and the im
provements in the public school sys
tem, show that gratifying progress
has been made in this most impor
tant department of the State govern
ment. ‘
I would especially recommend that,
in accordance witfi the suggest (.one of
the State Superintendent of Educa
tion, some action be taljen which
will secure more prompt psyment of
the teachers’ salaries.- During the
past year much einbarrasment and
loss to the teachers resulted In
the delay in the collection of taxes.

kiutj; Providence with material for
their full development. Now this is
precisely the condition of this State:
Sinai! iu extent, limited in territory,
yet it is full and abounding to a re
markable degree with all tlie material
elements necessary to the develop-
t tjient of these main iudostriss of life.
No pait of the globe is blessed with a
■ more fertile soil or genial climate ; no
! portion of ibe Atlafnic coast is mark
ed with better hat beta; nor can cheap
er roads be built eleewhcre; and where
can there be found in any country
better facilities for the building up of
all kinds of profitable mahufHCtoties,
both great aud small, than here?
When you look at the State aud see it
thus so full of such important natural
resources, it Would Seem that Provi-
ueoce had Intended that a great and
happy people should dwell within its
borders. It should be our aim not to
defeat this benefieefit end wf Provi
dence, either by suIUring misrule on
the part of the government or by sloth
and inaction on the part of tiis citizens
in faiiicg to make use of tho advan
tages by which they are surtouhrfed.
And I would earnestly recommend to
the General Assembly to take ibis mat
ter under eoneideration nnd to see bow
far legislation can aid in the building
up of these Industries. I haVe no spe
cial scheme to recommend, but I have
thought it would not be out of place
to suggest the great ends to be accom
plished, leaving the bicans to your bet
ter judgment and superior informa
tion and wisdom.
I will, however, venture to suggest,
in reference to agriculture, one mea
sure which, in my Judgment, is great
ly needed, atjgast in much the larger
portion of the tipper country. I refer
to what io usually known as the stock
law. This law has been tth d in seve
ral counties in this (State and in other
States, and: from my information,
wherever Died, it has invariably Work
ed Well, and ultimately gives satisfac
tion even to those who ,w;ec$ opposed
to it at ths outset. It greatly reduce®
the expenses of farming operations,
improves the stock, more »flectually
protects growing crops, brings thou
sands ot acres of good land under cul-
setnbly to provide for the maintenance tivation, and, what is of great Impor-
of this institution. The. faithful dis
charge of the duty thus imposed is
rendetfed inorb binding by cousidera-
tlohs of the highest policy. There
cap be ho doubt that the unity of cur
party in the past and the commanding
position which for so many years;
ttioce in some sections of the State,
would preserve the timber and forests
of the bountry, and it adds in every
way to the ebd of alt investments and
labor, vil, profit. In some counties in
the Slate it bar been adopted by a Tote
of the people, under a previous law eu
South Carolina held in the councils of < acted by thb General Assembly. With
great deference I would Say thftt this
mode of legislation is an innovation of
doubtful policy Qpbtt the established
manner of enaciing laws; and, betides,
elections upon local quest ions generally
produce discord and strife sod split
communities Into parties, whb h has •
tendency to involve other nnd perhaps
more Important matters, to the gene
ral prejudice of tho country.
In this connection, let me say that I
the ballon was due in eome measure
to the influence of the oollcge. Noth
ing will contribute thole to ihe ma-
tetTa! prosperty bf the State than the
restoration bf this institution to Its
former condition of usefulness.
I do not .uodereetimate the denomi
national colleges which now exist in
this State. They are 'contributing
largely to the education qf our people,
and they well deserve tho patronage
tfiettieolves. Ih IF?8 this rr
was m complishcJ, and the late cam
paign during the present administra
tion fully vindicates the justice and
truthfulness of our claim In that
event, and should silence forever the
libels nnd slanders to which the char
acter of the cltin *ns of the State has
been so long, so unjustly aud so shsms-
fully subjected. We as a people are
entitled to rejoice at our redemption
from gjvernmental misrule and its
consequences, and I f* el sure that good
men everywhere, when they come to
understand the situation, will join
with us in our rejoicing, and will sym
pathize with us iu our struggle for the
permanency of that redemption Let
me expreBS the hope that nothing will
occur in the future to mar this record,
and that our people throughout the
State will unite together In the preser
vation of the public poAce and the
continued Supremacy of the law.
In clot-ing lids communication, per
mit me, gentlemen, to invoke the bles
sings of A mighty God upon your de-
liberations. May he give you wisdom
from oh high, and may the perform
ance of your arduous and responsible
duties be marked with that harmony
which so eminently distiugutabed the
General .Usernblles of the olden past
In Bouth Carolins, reflecting honor
upon yourselves and lasting benefits
upou your people and State.

It io Interesting to observe how the
era of economy is reducing the State
debts aud lengthening the list of States
which bear uo debt at all. Colorado,
Delaware, Kentucky, West Virginia
aud Wisconsin do not appear as debtor
States at all. Then there are Califor
nia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan,
Nehiaska. Nevada, New Jejtyey, Ore
gon and Vermont whose debts are ei
ther very small and on the point of ex-
liuctiou of sinking funds, or are held
iu perpetual trust for school purposes
or State institutions. This makes 15
out of 88 virtually out of debt. To
tijlh list may be added Minnesota and
Mississippi, if both States bad hot re
pudiated just obllgationC Of the in
debted ’States, Massachusetts heads
with a debt at the beginning of this
year of about $,ll,00ij,000 making a
net debt of over $22,000,000. Penn;
sylvanin has a tout debt of about
923,000.000, which sinking funds re
duce to 814,000,000. New York has
paid off all but her canal dtbt bf
$9,000,000.

sugar cane and the sorghum variety,
