jTHE GOVEBNOB'S MESSAGE.
,v. We hat6 received tlic Annual flctsnge of l?i
Excellency, Governor Wm. II. Gi?t, and .will
tnke ?n early opportunity of presenting
either, in whole or in part, to our rcade\ss' and
in tlie meantime, will give a brief synopsis of
its leading suggestions. It is a well written
State Paper, presenting a clear anJ concise
statement of the views of the Executive, upon
the various subjects of State and Federal policy,
and offering many valuable suggestions.
The Governor announces certain cordi'Th]
principles, which in his opinion should goverr.
the action of the LegisUure, to wit?to collect
no mora taxes than are neccssary for tho cconomica\administrfttion
of the government, and
to prdviue,ias soon as .possible for tho ox
I tinguishinent of tho puolio debt so th.it tho
! people may be forced to Icnvo the State, to

taxes are less than iu many of the new State*,

lnnko better crops enable them to sustain heavier
taxation.
The Banks are reported to bo in a Bound and
healthy condition. As a remedy against the bus.
pension of epecio-, payments, the Governor recommends,
in that event, thai the best plan
would be, to put tliein immediately into liquidation,
and compel them to close business until
new charters are obtained, open to nil who may

first chartered.
The work on the new State House is^rcprcsentcd,
ns progressing with as much rapidity
as practicable, and the beauty, elegance and
durability of (he structure is commended. The
disbursements of tho past year amount to $348,044.27
and an nppropriatiou of $100,000 is re"
commcndcr for the present year.
Iu reviewing the militia during the past summer
the Governor found a great disinclination
to"peiform militia duty,?so much so in some
places that it was difficult to organize a Court
Martial to try defaulters. As the whole eiih
ject lias received the exam in at ion of a military
Coinmission, 'who will report to the present
ecKsion of the Legislature, the Gov ernor makes
no recommendation ou.the subject.
The Governorthinkslhat the existing laws
of the State, are generally wise and salutiry
and require fewalterations or amendments. lie
suggests however that a breach of trust, should
receive a heavy punishment?as great if not
greater than larceny.
The substitution of a small tax in the place
of day's work on the road is recommended na
a means of keeping the roads in better order*
and as in all respects preferable to the present
cystem.
Some uniform rule for the treatment and
management of prisoners is suggested. There
should be a distinction made between imprisonment
for crime and imprisonment for safe keeping.
An alteration in the la\? is recommended, so
fifk to require every one whoowus n farm, with
any number of negroes, to reside thereon, the
the whole yeor round, or to. keep some white
person constantly on the place.

? oa u&ur?B8 FEBBY PRISONERS"
There can be do doubt that the idea of rescuing
the prisoners has been extensively entertained,
and such being the case, it is well that
the fanatics at the North should understand
and plainly see, that this will not and cannot*
be done, and that whoever attempts it will be
put to death. On his recent visit to Harper's
W '? ' ** *
ret ry, it is said that Governor Wise gave the
prisoners distinctly to understand that they
need entertain no fallacious hopes of a respite,
pardon, or cothmutation of punishment, for
that the sentence of the Court, on the day
appointed, would be executed according to th*
O "" """
terms of it.

TAX COLLECTORS AND TREASURERS Of
THE BOARDS OF COMMIB8IONER8, AND
.THEIR COMMISSIONS
(I'UBUHIIKU By HKQt'KST )
Jtr. Editor?9m : I discover la tlie laftt //anuer,
the article* from Tax l'nyer, which appeared
ia your paper tho Hit February Juki. I auppoie
yon have ro>publi?lie<l it by r*qu??l. A? the
author of tluit articlo, 1 hope you will permit jne
to miiko tome explanation* ultif* further any^m
lions, through the columns of tho Jiannrr. In
that at tide I assumed the position that (or tin*
last five year* it had coat ?t>ven per oriit. to receive
and disburse tho Hriil^o Taim ill Abbeville
District, ami five per cent. of tliut miiii \vu*
jmui iu Uio Treasurer* of tho Caotiorul Hoard.
This I regarded us veiy i xtruvagaut, aud thought
the law which authorized it should ho amended.
I have ascertained, since tluil was written, I horn
is no such law which requires tho payment of
five per cent, either to thoCenerul or Sub-Treastirera.
But say some of your readers, why did
not tho Judi;o or Solicitor so e.vphiiu tho law
at our last Court, when the subject was no fairly
presented in tho Report of tho Chairman of tho
Central Board 1 Am to that, 1 am unublo to sny,
but from tho authority of u Lawyer, a member
of the Legislature, I am authorized to say that
no such law exists, and that this matter of compensation
is left to tho Bonn! of Commissioners.
Tho law providcs.that the Committiotiers may
allow their 'J'reaturera a reasonable compcnta
non j asm us lo ttie compensation now allowed
the Treasurers of tlie^fiJub-Boards, " $20 each
umiuully, an average of perhaps 2 per ccnt." no
one, I think, will complain. But when the Puhlio
examines tho Reports of the Treasurers of the
General Board for the last six years, they do
and of right ought to complain. But some
persons say it is not for the lubor so much as
the responsibility of receiving und holding the
funds until they havo an opportunity of paying
it over to the Treasurertfof the Sub Boards, that
they should receive such large compensation.?
'I'lint rflanAne!l.!i:iM ? ~r '* * -
uvui-tci , it) ui meir own
choice; if they wish to avoid it, they inay do
so by drawing orders ou tbdtTax Collector iu
favor of tho Sub-Treasurers, for the amount of
their reBpcctive claims, leaving in ihe Tux Collector's
hands, to druw at settlement, enough to
pa} their own Commissions, and pay for publishing
the annual ReiiorU of receipts and expenditures.
This will, moreover, be mor?convenient
for oil concerned, and save them of the
great responsibility complained of; for the writer
of this article served as a Commissioner of
Roads three years, and during that time was
the Treasurer of the General Board. From my
experience, I consider the duly no more than
others of the Treasurers of the Sub-Boards ; consequently
tfieir compensation should be no more.
Bv the fiva nor oont 1 **
,? .wau ojoiciii, nowever, ine
Treasurers of ihe General Boaid have received,
in Ihe last six years, the sum of Twelve Hundred
and Thirty-three Dollars as commissions.?
The six yearp immediately preceding, the same
office was filled, and the duties discharged, for
the sum of sixty dollars, ?10 per annum. It is
very natural for the question to arise?why has
the Commissioners permitted such extravagant
expenditure of the public funds, when the law
A:A ~-i. ? ' ?

In just-.ce to tho Commissioners of Roads, it
ia proper lor me (o state what some of them have
recently informed me. They were misled as to
what the law was. If I am correctly iuformed,
the facts of the case are about this: Six yean
ago tha Treasurer of tho General Board claimed
that he was by law ejjjitlel to five per centCommissions
ou the total amount of Bridge Tax
.annaally ; some of the members of the Joard
were of contrary opinion, and opposed ft?--'The
matter was tlipn ?iiSmiM?ii ? ?1 - J
iv ??-j uu^c, wuouecided
in favor of the opinion entertained by tbe
General Treasurer, and of oOurse the Board regarded
tbai as the law. I think it time for the
Legislature to amend the law in relation to the
compensation allowed to the Secretaries and
Treasurers of the different Boards of Commissioners
iu the State. And I will venture to Bug.
gest an amendment; that in future the Commissioners
of Roads, Poor, and Public Buildings of
the State may allow their Secretaries and Treasurers
a compensation for their services, but in no
C080 shall that ?nm w ?1 ? '*
f] I'ci ccuv? uu me
annual expenditures. In regard (o my suggealions
in tbe original article on Ibe Commissions
allowed Tax Collectors, I have nothing
further to say. I liave no doubt that subject
will be before the Legislate; I hope the members
of the Upper Divieiro of the State will see
that in the reduction of the Commissions to tbe
Tax Collectors it be equalized. I saw a plan or
scheme which was prepared for the last LSfeisla
ture. Iu it the Tax Collectors of the Upper
Division was more materially affected than the
Lower Division. t
* uavc uu uuuui, inr. Jtauor, ,hava
been informed,) that some of yourfifclers'regard
the whole article of Tax Payers as a small
affair, a regular ten cent piece. Thereothers'
however, who tbiuk the dimes belongiug to the
Slate should be taken care of, because tea dimes
make a dollar, and it is for the benefit of those
I have writtflen.
