The Legislature of South Carolina as
sembled and organized yesterday, The
Gcyernor's Message was sent in to-day.
1t relates mostly to Slate affairs. He says
the present. financial distress is greater than
at any time since 1887, opposes the crea-
ton ofnew banks, as not calculated TO rem
edy the evil; recommends change in the
school system; thinks the laws relative TO-
free. persons Of color arriving at the sea-
ports might be modified, so as not to give
cause Of offence to foreign Governments,
He considers that the United States
should carefully observe treaties, pursue a
sound, discreet foreign policy, avoid the
appearance Of grasping any portion Of
foreign territory. He regrets the result
of the recent elections at the North, as
indicative Of a great Disturbance Of The
harmony Of the country, and copnsels
calmness, moderation and forbearapee,
and hopes the South will discard party
jelousies and stand by the constitution.

LAWS OF THE UNITED STATEs.-The Wash
ington Globe says that the laws passed du-
ring the last session Of Congress are very
defective. "The law making appropriations
for the current and contingent expenses of
the Indian Department, which purports to
contain eleven sections, has nine only. There
is neither a third nor ninth section in It, and
it is clear that several paragraphs which fol-
low the first paragraph Of section two belong
to section one" &c. The Globe does not at
tempt to fix the responsibility for these errors.
but seems disposed to divide II between tho
committees of conference and the new clerks
employed to assist in copying during the hur-
ry incident to the last days Of the session"

MADIsoNvILLE CoURT.-While at Cleve.
land on Tuesday, we learned that Judge
Gaut had received letter from Judge Alex
nnder, requesting him to hold the Court al
Madisonville next week-severa members
of Judge Alexander's family having been at.
tackled with the Cholera, which has been
prevailing for several days at Knoxville. and ii
would be impossible for him to be at Madi.
sonville at the regular time for holding the
Court We do not know what Judge Gaut's
intentions are, but in view of the recent
alarming sickness prevailing at that place,
we will take the liberty of suggesting the
propriety Of not holding any Court ut Madi-
sonville for the present. Il would be worse
than foolish to any longer express doubt
MS to the character of the disease, whatever
may have been the opinion while it was
confined to one locality, and that locality less
favorable to its existence than some others
which have escaped. 1t will no longer bear
mooting-the disease is unquestionably Cho-
'Si"-cuSh NhoiCio 40 has aPpcaicu Nv ANooii-
vile at different times, along the western
waters, and in many of the towns and cities
of the Union, and just such Cholera rs we
have no desire to become more intimately
acquainted with.
Our last advices from jacksonville repre-
sent that the disease had abated, that no new
cases had occurred for several days, and that
the sick were all in fair way to recover
Still if Court should be held and any con-
siderable number of persons congregaie in
the town, it would probably break out again,
and, perhaps, in n more virulent form. We
think it would be unjust to those having bu.
siness in Court to require them to attend un.
der the circumstances, and to the people of
Msdisonville, who have already been so sore
ly afflicted. If our information be correct,
we do not suppose there will be any danger
to the citizens returning, but it would GER
tainly be imprudent for any thing like a
crowd to gather in the place.

Nor WHIeGERY IN DTsGUIsE.-The Rich.
mond (Va.) Examiner, one of the most ultra
of the Democratic prints of Virginia, thus
dssipates the rumor that Know Nothingism
is Whiggery in disguse,and says in a man.
ner not to be mistaken:
understanding that it harbors no hostility
to the Democratic party, nor to the South
and her institutions, and believing that, if the
monster at all, it is too ugly customer to be
trihed with, we have no disposition to run a
muck with it as yet, to waste our powder and
shot by blazing away at it in the dark. Judg-
ing by its votes, polled elsewhere, it numbers
as many Democrats as Wings; and judging
by its liberal bestowal of office on Democrats,
it has not done the party much injury as yet.
We shall, at least for the present. save our
ammunition and surplus rhetoric, trust to
Providence and keep our powder dry, remem-
bering that discretion is the better part of
valor, and that kind words tend to turn away
wrath"

OcoEE HOTEL, CLEvELANp.-ThisH House,
formerly the Railroad Hotel, is now kept by
Mr.. Lorenzo Delano; and if we are any
Judge of what it takes to make the right soil
of house, the Ocoee may be set down as
equal to any in East Tennessee. We speak
advisedy when we say, that the proprietor,
Mr.. Delano, understands his business tho
roughly. He not only keeps good table,
but, giving the business his personal SUPER
vision, sees that his guests have every atten-
ton and accommodation to make them COM
Portable. We commend his house to our
friends.
Nothing contributes more to the prospect
ty Of town than good hotels, and in this re-
spect Cleveland swell off, having two rs good
houses rs any one could desire to stop at.
