TUE INA 1*0UBAI/IEBEMONIKS, The Governor and Lieutenant Gov ernor elect were inaugurated on Tues day with the usual ceremonies. Gen. Ilugond's inaugural address was characteristic of the man, terse and practical, and contained some valuable recommendations. He concluded in these words: '?It is ray duty as Governor to 'take care that the laws are faithfully executed in mercy.' I repeat the pledge made before my election?that in the discbarge of this high trust, I shall know neither white man nor colored man. but only, citizens of South (-nrolinn, nlike amenable to her laws and entitled to their protect ion.' Gen. John 1). Kennedy, after bis inauguration, was escorted to the Senate Chamber where he took bis scat as President of the Senate in ac cordance with the Constition. - mm ?- - THE1LEGISLATURE. This body is hard at work grap pling with the numerous bills pre sented. The general temper of our legisla ture seems to be in favor of leaving the considered ion^of thejnatter^of a Constitutional Convention to a Com mittee to report at the next session. Senator Smytlie, of Charleston, has prepared a bill to this effect. There is a general disposition in favor of an early adjournment sine dir. before the Christmas holidays. Sonic favor the luth Dec. but it is hardly probable that this is compati ble with careful legislation, but it is hoped that the end may be reached In j ho 22(1. IHK FIR KM EX'S _ (? AL A jl>A Y ! Tuesday was celebrated by our Firemen, and citizens generally, as the Anniversary of the Independent Elliott Hook and Ladder Company. In the afternoon the two companies paraded our streets, presenting a very attractive appearance. The ^Truch of the Elliotts '.was beautifully deco rated by fair hands, and ''Uncle doe," the pet of the Redshirt.-, and in fact of the town, looked like a thillgof beauty, which is "a joy^forever." At 7 o'clock, the Elliotts assembl ed in the Hall of the Young Ameri cas tint! transacted the Annual busi ness by the election ofolllcers, and the general straightening tip of-the past. The following ollicers were elected to serv e for the ensuing year: Foreman?L. II. Wannamaker. Asst. Foreman?YV. L. Izhir. 1st. Director?Lendo Itnnsdnlc. ?2d. Director? E. IL McKcwn. Secretary?lt. F. Bryant. Treasurer?S. It. Mellichamp. Solicitor?M. I. Browning. Surgeon?Dr. T. A. Elliott. (hnpluin?Uov. t). A. Darby. The business of the year being concluded, the Company with their invited guests, including a ntitnl er (>?.' our citizens, the Edislo Hilles, the Young Americas and I he F.ilisto Band, proceeded to the Hook ami Ladder Hall, where the festive board was spread, and in a short lime all parlies wert; busily engaged discuss ing the merits of the good Illings spread before them. The first and important step being most snt isfnetorb. concluded (lie following programme was presented a chaste ami m at address of welcome having been made by Foreman Wan numnkcr: I'ltOOItAMM K. The Day we Celebrate? 'fhe dav, the day we celebrate. Tin' day of all to Klliolts great, A dav with j<>ys and memories dear, To elieer and bless each tolling year. Responded to by L. II.

Three cheers we'give for "Uncle Joe," The l ol' the town ns all well know, At lio.- we count on the hoy* in red, ' ably led by Foreman "Fred." Responded to by F. S. Dibble, Esq. The Fire Department? Our Fire Department, long may it wave, Our homes to protect, our loved ones to save; Of its uses and blessings, if there's any to quibble, Come listen in g'atlncss toottrgallant Chief Dibble. Responded to by W. L. Glaze. Our City? Our city by the river side, To fortune mil} she ever n'hlc, Her hopes and fears, und e'en her woes Will now lie told by olio ,vh<> known. Responded by Prof. W. J. DeTro ville. Our Invited (.1 nests? . "He who enters here, leaves all care behind." Responded to by F. A. Schilllcy. Our Mayor and Aldermen? Mill of prowess and renown, The "City Fathers cd" our Town," The streets well lighted, police paid, To slip out o'liigllts, whose afraid? The city's as quiet and snug as a mouse Under the care of Alderman Strauss, Mose'cy'a the Mayor, and long in vain A better warden you'll seek than Rill Sain. Jim Dickson's quiet, hut otten the rare On Albergolti's cast of acting the Mayor. Responded to by J. W. Mosclcy, Esq. Our State? "Contempt arc] the minion who calls you disloyal, Though fierce to your foe, to your friends you're true, And the tribute most high to a head that is loyal, Is hive fr oiu a heart that loves liberty too. Responded to by R. P. I/.lar, Esq. Woman? "With her mien she cnamors the brave, N ith her wit she engages the free. With her modesty pleases the grave, She is every way pleasing to inc." Respouded to by ( 'apt. .1. A. Ham ilton. The Edisto Hilles? An ornament to our town- in the time of peace, our safeguard in the hour of danger. Responded to by F. S. Dibble. W. L. Glaze ami S. H. Melliehanip. The Press? May its freedom never bo restrain ed nor abused, but iintrnmmclcd, may it continue the advocate of the peo ples liberty and the champion of their lights. Responded to by II. G. Sheri dan, Esq. Letters were read from the venera bl? Dr. Elliott, the worthy patron of] the ( otupany. ("apt. Dibble, and Rev. T. W. Mellichamp, the Chaplain, re gretting their inability to attend in response to the invitations extended to them, but expressing tho noblest sentiments and the wai tuest interest in the prosperity of the Company. The Anniversary of the Company being the birthday of Dr. Elliott, this interesting fact constituted in no small degree, a theme of the evening, and many of the speakers held up his exemplary life nt a shining light for the young men of the community. The regrets at his absence were uni versal, ami the heartfelt wish of every lireman and guest around the festive hoard was, that be would he spa ret 1 to be with us when our next anniversary rolls around. A (hi in per was thrown over the festivities of the evening by the sick ncss of Dr. < ooke, who was compell ed to return to his home at an early stage. This also took away Prof. Lawrence, who was appointed to one of the toasts, ami no doubt, bad a toast in store for the audience. The evening passed oil most de lightfully, the flow of wit and senti ment being unstinted. We have rea sons to hope that along with the plea santries some golden seeds of wisdom have been sown which will be devil ing in their tendency and give to the occasion an upward pointing.
