The following letter from one of the grea- test and purest of the publiemen of the soutt will be read with profound interest. Judge Cheyes, equally by position and character, is beyond all suspicion of prejudice, selishness or partizanship. The biindest party bigotry, the bittcrest party malice, cannot iouch him. and dare not assign 10 him. othernoive than reason and patriotism. The letter was writ ten in reply to an invitation to president the celebration of the 4th of July, by tie citi- zens of Pendleton, and is copied from the Messenger of the 5th.

To-day His Excellency. Gov. Aiken,
was duly inaugaraled, in solemn form, AT
l2 O'Clock. Tie Senate joined the House
10 the spacious aud elegant chamber Of
the latter, and at The hour indicated, His
Excellency appeared, cohdGtted by The
ex. Governor, the Secretary Of Stale, The
Adjutanr General, The Quarter Master

eight or ten very handsome young getlo.
men. The air and manner Of the eElre
gave augury thai the spectators were TO
be gralifed still more by the further GER
emonies. Upon His Excellency's assn
ming the seat provided, the Speaker or
dered the doors Of the Chamber to be
opened TO the public, when vast throng
filled the space and adorned the Hall with
lovely specimens of the sprightliness, wit
sud beauty Of this city and the adjacent
country. When order was established,
His Excsllency arose and delivered ffom
the Speakers desk an address replete with
patriotic and fervcot expressions offeelins

Representatives having joined he former
body, the venerable President delivered
the commission TO His Excellency. The
whole ceremony closed with the usual pro

led 10 his hotel by two very Gne military
companies The Governors Guaras, com.

RESOLUTIONS
In reference to Special Agency stn

In reference to a Special Agency Stnt
from the State of Massachusetts.
SUBMITTED BY MR. De TREviLLE.
WHFREAs. Information has been recei.
we'd, ha, the State of Massachusetts has
recently appointed and sent 10 the City Of
Charleston a Special Agent. with insiruc-
tionj and authority to institute proceedings
at her expense in the court Of the United
States, for the purpose of testing the con-
stilutiouality of a certain Act OF this Stale,
passed on the 18th day Of December, Ar
no Domini 1885, entitled IAN Act more
effec,ually to prevent Free Negroes and
other persons of color from entering into
this Slate, aud for other purposes"
And, whereas, We have alwaysregarded
the aforesaid law as necessary measure
for the security of our property, and the
peace aud good order Of society; and re-
cent indications have not only proved that
I'VE were not mistaken, but that nothing
short of lhe most rigid enforcement Of the
said law to its very letter, can save us
from the insiduous policy and practice of
the abolitionis,s:
Therefore, RESOLVED. That while we
admit the right of The State of Massachu-
sets 10 elevate the descendants of the
African race TO the rank or standing of free
white persons, and 10 confer on Them all
:he rights and immunities which the most
favored Of her citizens enjoy sOilhin her
orn limits, we deny that she has any
right TO require US 10 extend to such of
them as may enter our limits, the immu-
mites and privileges which are secured by
The Constitution of the United S,atee, to
her free white citizens alone.
RESOLVED, That the Stale Of South
Carolina ought not to submit 10 any dicta-
ton, either from sister State or from The
Supreme Court of the United States, on a
subject of such vital Importance 10 herself
as the government Of her colored popula-
ton; and should the aforesaid Act be
declared unconstitutional and invalid by
the Federal Courts, the principle of self
preservation will neverless compel her citi-
zens, al every expense of life and proper
ty, to uphold aud maintain tho due and
rigid enforcement of the said law, according
10 its very letter aud spirit.
Resoloed, That the conduct Of The State
of Massachusetts, in attempting to procure
by Federal Judicial Legislation, the repeal
of law, which was intended to be aud is
q barrier between the slave aud the ennis
saries of The abolilionisls, is an unwarran-
table and gross insult 10 the people ofthis
State.

WHO ISJAMES K. POLKl

A Correspondent of The New ork
Journal Of Commerce thus speaks of him:
II had the honor of taking tea at his
house last evening, and of enjoying the
society of himself and his amiable and
splendid lady. His features are strongly
marked by evidences Of intellect, bland
ness, frmnness and heuevolence. His
head would be esteemed SPLENDID model
by phrenoIogss. in which The intellectual
and moral fuculiies are largely predomi-
nan.. His forehead is high, broad and
full, aud perpendicular, if not projecting.
THE upper part Of the bead rises high
above tie ears. The organs Of benevo-
Ience, veneralidh and firmness, are PROM
inenlly developed. Col. Polk's chafacler,
through long public life, is known 10
correspond with these characteristics of his
mind. He represented the Congressional
District In which he. lives. for fourteen
years. While he has at all times had
strong political opponents in Tennessee, be

kinder master, more induigent and

honest, benevolent and moral man they
never knew. His lady isbo,h beautiful and
accomplished, and is consistent member
of the Presbyterian c!.urch.-There is not
haman being living, that is an enemy Of
hers. Itis painful to find that d man like
Col. Polk, whose whole life has been pure
and without reproach, should be so sham
I.iessuess assailed as be has been. During
his whole life, he has been strictly tenn
perance man in every ,hing-in liquor,
tobacco, in ealing aud in all respects. He
never gambled. In all his life he never
gave, or accepted challenge TO fight a
lduel. He is an anti-duellist on christian
principles. He believes duelling to be
morally wrong, and has the moral courage
10 put in practice the moral principles he
processes He is much greater man.
and much better man, than the world.

given him credi. for. He is modes, and
