A Washington telegram says: "It
is proposed to organize a regiment
of Indians. with Spotted Tail as
colonel, to be paid and miiformed
as regular soldiers." We trust that
this will be done. The hostile In
dians will no doubt be very soon
subdued by the fine military genius
of Col. S. Tail, U. S. A.
The Governor's Message.
Governor Hampton's first message
isa strong document. It is~written in
.hat plain, clear and forcible style
which was so marked a feature of
all his speeches during the campaign
and after his election. The recom
mendations he makes, are both wise
.and proper.
The financial condition of the
iState is presented as clearly as is
,possible in view of the fact that
'the State records have boon in the
possession of the Radical usurpers
in Columbia. The governor advo
catos the payment of every honest
obligation of the State, and the
prompt repudiation of all fraudulent
ones. In .this view the entire people
of the State will concur. And where
there is any doubt, the public
treasury should have the benefit of
it.
The proposition to fund the
arrears of interest on the public
debt is a good one, and we trust the
Legislature will speedily put it in
force. We must be just to our
selves before we aro generous to
-other people, and the holders of
.5tate bonds should takotheir chance
with others to whom the State is in
debted. The plan proposed by
.Governor Hampton,if fully carried
,out, will leave the public debt dis
posed of up to the first of January,
1878.
In urging a general reduction of
expenditures the governor but
:onunciatoe a loading principle in the
Democratic platform. Every ex.
,penso not actually unavoidable
,should be stopped. Salaries should
be reduced to the lowest figure
commensurate with the duties rc
quired of officials.
The suggestion that a portion of
the next tax be called for in June,
rthe rest to be collected in the fall, is
:an evidence that the governor un
,derstands the condition of the tax"
payers and desitos to do what lhe
can to make their 'burdens as light
as possible. Wo 'believe that it
would bo a simple imp)ossibility to
collect -.an .entire :tax, however
moderate, tbeforo niort ,fall, and thme
Legislature will do weoll to-matke the
*June installment as, small as p)ossible
*-say one--fourth or one-third of the
sentire levy.
The arnat'tor of the bills of the
.llank of the State is well worth
looking into and some means
should be adopted to ascertain,
once for all, which of these bills are
obligations inding upon the State.
The goveimnor's views na to thme
penal and charitable institutions are
in full accord with .those of the
people generally. The poniton
stiary to some extent -particularly
~should be madoe at least self
esippOxting, and the appropria.
.tions for the asylum should be
.greatly redued. The plan~ ofelectM
ing the regents of :The lunatic asy~
hlm from among residelnts of Rich.
land county was adopted hofore and
since the ,wvar under the Democratic
~admninistrations, and was fon d to
work aduiirably. By the Radicals
the asylum, like overything else, was
lugged into politics, and creatures
of the most offensive type were put
in charge. This should stop. Gover
~nor Hampton's plan ahould ho
adopted as soon as possible.
Th'le State University, we allknow,
hase heoen a farce and a fraud over
since the 01(d faeulty wvas turned out
and the present crew of ponniless
pe ? ;ognes, native renasfos arda
carpet- bag preachers put in. The
present faculty, beginning with
the delectable and reverend Oum
mnings, and ending with thie sleek
faed Rahhit (except perhaps vs..
fossor I oberts) should be summari
ly kicked out of the campus A
resolution should be adopted do
claring all the chairs vacant. A new
board of trustees should bo elected,
and this board should proceed at
once to the thorough reorganization
of the the institution in accordance
with the suggestions of the governor.
Of the free schools, Governor
Hampton says only the bare truth
when ho declares -that "tihe proso t
system, as it has boon administered,
is a more mockery." Stops should
be taken to put in practice all the
provisions of the most excellent
school law of the State.
Altogether,"the mossago is a fine
document, and an oarnest of a most
efficient administration of the laws
on the part of our executive.
