GOVERNORS VETO.

To the Senate:
l herewith return to the Senate a bill
entitled "An Act to amend the exemp.
ton laws OF this State" with my disap-
prevail.
1t is peculiarly within the province Of
the Legislature to judge Of and to legis,
late upon the policy of exempting ell or
any portion of the properly Of the citi-
zens Of the State from execution and sale
for debt. If the law presented now. for
my consideration, looked only to the fu-
turs transactions between citizens Of the
State, l would feel that | could intqrpose
no Constitutional objections. though l
would regard the policy as deleterious to
the agricultural interests and commercial
prosperity Of society. But this law is
retrospective, and affects debts already
contracted and the lien Of judgments al.
ready obtained. II exempts a certain
amount Of property not exempted by law
at the time Of contract, nor at the rem.
dition Of the judgment. This property
formed the basis, If it was not The crea-
ture, of the contract, the money for which
the judgment creditor seeks to recover.
This law then is clearly not 10 conflict
with the law Of the contract, but de-
MES right and justice to the creditor. Il
is in violation Of hat clause to the Con.
stitution, which forbids the passage of ex
post-facto laws and laws impairing tbs
obligations Of contracts. 1t cannot.
therefore, receive my approval.

WIDOWS AND ORPHANS.

During the late war, there was some
provision made for the poor widows
and orphans Of our country. Though
the pittsnce was small, still it was bet
ter than nothing. Since the surrender
these poor uufOrtunates have been com.
PEELED to live upon the charities Of
the world. Something must be done
for this class of our community. VIII
not those Of our citizens who have
'plenty and to spare" divide with the
families Of those noble souls who gave
their lives in defence of the South.
Will the rich forsake these relicts oil
departed worth. simply because we did
not succeed? It was no fault Of theirs. The
husbands and fathers Of these uufor-
tunste creatures did all in their power
to insure our success. They gave not
only their time and energies, but they
gave their lives, in the cause ; and
whether right or wrong-whethsr pos
certify snail honor them as patriots, or
brand them as rebels-it is no less the
duty of every mar who survives to lend
their families a helping hand. Let cur
present Legislature take this matter in
hand, and pass such laws - will give
sSief LIE. hem provide for a tax that
will not only furnish a bare subsistence,
but let it be sufficient for their ample
support. The poor soldiers lost their lives
in attempting the defence of the rich. and
it is nothing bat right that the wealth
shs. remains in the country should be
compelled to assist in the support of the
poor, particular such as we're made des-
tisuts-widoued and orphaned-by the
Casualties Of war. We speak plainly.
We think the subject demands t.-ROs-

RIor AT CHRsTER.-The Darlington Southerner,
OF last Saturday, has statement that @ riot oc-
Cured at Chester c. H. in this State, on the 18th
inst, between colored soldiers and citizens. We
give the statement as it appears in the Souaerne:
1t appears that on the day named Q2th) many
of the citizens from all parts Of the District had
met on special public business, and among them
ored troops who were stationed there took every
opportunity of insulting them by jostlng against
them, or saying something very 0ffensire. Event
indignities put upon them, and general fight took
place between the citizens and the negro troops,
in which three Of the latter were killed and many
on both sides wounded. AS soon as tue riot was
queled the Provost Marshal sent the tlpops from
town.
