The message, while neither epigrsmstic uor forcible, is rather pleaaant reading than othcr wiee, being filled with roseslo optim? ism aod kindly generality, turning, Jg ware, Iba bright side of tbe list ptblio. Tbt mts 8i?ft may be a disappointment to tboae who looked tor a iorciblc and revolutionary document, tilled with demands for changes in old lawa and suggestions for new laws, but to tboee who did not look for such things tbe message is not a thorn in the flesh Gov McSweeney is a capable executive, in so far ss the enforcement of the laws snd the painstaking discharge of tbe routine duties of bis office sre concerned, but he who expects him to iosugu rate new eystems, stir up strife, mske enemies for himself or lead a determined and aggressive fight for any man or measure ia preparing for himself e day of disappointment. Tbe message is a pretty fair message, ss fsr ss messages go, snd contains s very excellent snd comprehensive review of the reports of tbe heeds of tbe eeversl departments of tbe Stste government. Judge Buobaoao gave 'bat disagree ?ug Spartauburg jury a bitter rasping and doubtless relieved bit overoharged feelings for the time being, but tbe papers of tbo State have taken up tbo matter and are pouriDg hot shot into the judge for what they pronounce ao unjudicial sod uncalled for tirade from tho bcuob. Tbe Anderson Mail says : "Judge Buobaoau's reprimand to tbe jury io the Meares oase in Spartauburg last week for their failure to agree on a verdict was, io our opinion, a gross outrage oo the jury and unworthy of the dignity of tbe bench. And while we know that Judge Buchanan is not a eoward, his treatment of tbat jury same very oear tbe border lino of being eowardly, for tbo jury oould not resent tbe josult heaped upon them without being in oootempt of court and in daoger of imprisonment. * * ? * Judge Baohanan may nut thiuk so but his oooduct oo the beooh did moro to east reproaob upon tbe eourts than a thousaod suoh juries oouid do. All honor to eaob ooe of those jurors for tb*ir loyalty to their oatbs aod their honest oonvictiou?." Tbe Yorkvillo Eaquirer coooludes a oriticism of Jadgo Buchanan's remark* able obarge in the.**? words : "Accordiog to tbe judge, then, after ail, the principal issue was uo ef dollars acd ocota?not thai tbo ooauty should stand ready to bankrupt itself io order to insure justice to its citizens : but tbat jurors should only luok to tbo cheapest way out In its application to oo" judiciary machinery tbo idea is ocrtaioly dcw aod oovel ; but perhaps, after all, it is not altogether .oapplica ble to the especial ease of Judge Buck aoan. From tbo reoord ho ha* mado as a presiding judge oo tho benob aod uoder tbe review of the supreme oourt, buodred.4 of lawyers all over the state have long aioce o?m3 to tbe oooolusioo that his plaee oould be tetter filled by some ooe of tbe best {300 magistrates, aod io our cpioion it would be a car i tal idea if tbe next geoeial assembly would institute some kind of a ohaogo.

London, Jan 12 ?Malietoa Tanus, io a letter to the Loodoa Times publish, ed today, endowing copies of the pro. tests be addressed to the Uuited States, Great Britain and Germany against the Samoan treatieH, characterizes the partition of Samoa as a gross violation of the treaties and as a crime against the law of oatioos only equal to the dismemberment of Poland, Denmark and France. Ho thinks (hat if it is for (be great powers to promote wars and annexations to district the minds of the people, The Hague conference was the greatest farce of the century. Tho writer also asserts that the civiliza tioo introduced by the great powers iu their annexations in the south seas, Africa and elsewhere is inferior to the primitive state of the countries stolon, loading to war through breach of faith 00 the part of the government ifficiais and to ?coimating of the peoples by contagious diseases at.a spirituous lia sort.
