IN THE SoUrH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE
yesterday Governor Perry submitted the re-
port Of the commissioners appointed by the
convention to prepare a system Of laws
adapted to the new state of affairs.
The report embraces bill regulating the
domestic relations of former slaves, a bill
preliminary to legislation induced by the
emancipation Of slaves, and code for the
regulation of labor and the protection and
government Of the colored population in the
State. These were ordered to be printed,
and will be considered tomorrow.
Resolutions were adopted appointing a
committee to collect, under oath, all evil
or other private property since the war, to
be laid before President johnson.
The colored people Of Missouri, through n
State executive committee, have issued an
address to the people Of the State, asking for
such laws as will give them the right to vote
They ask it as essential to the security and
enjoyment of the rights conferred upon them
by emancipation, as true and loyal citizens
Of the United States, and as men who have
defended and maintained the Government in
the field of battle. They say they do not ask
for social equality, for that depends upon
higher than human laws. They aver their
willingness to submit to any tests and re-
strictions that are required Of whites but
they think that political rights and franchises
should no longer depend upon color alone
They propose to organize as n party, and to
employ speakers, issue appeals, and in every
proper way press their claims upon the peo-
pie of tho State, and they solicit contribu-
tions in aid of this object.

public duties weighed upon them. Standing

awful secrets that have locked up In my

connecting plans that made all my limbs
