MESSAGE OF GOV. HARRIS.
COLUMBIA, S. c., October Ex-Governor
Harris message was read before the Legis-
lature to-day. He says that though his ap-
pointment was made several months after
the other Provisional Governors, South Car
olina is now as far advanced in reconstruc-
tioh as any other State. By restoring those
who were in office at the suspension of civil
government he greatly expedited recon-
struction. This measure was objected to by
the military authorities, but he was sustain
ed by the President, TO whom will be assign
ed in history the honor of reeonstructing the
broken, dismantled fragments of the Repub-
lie without marring its civic beauties.
He alludes to the new constitution as pop
ular and democratic, inspiring the people
with energy in developing the latent re-
sources of the State, and recommends the
fostering of internal improvements, COM
merce and manufactures, and the encour-
agement of foreign emigration. Also that
they shall not be dependent as heretofore on
the western States for horses, mules, cattle,
hogs, bacon, lard and beef, nor on the north
ern States for furniture, agricultural imple-
ments and clothes, but should raise, grow
and make everything for themselves. Now
that slavery is abolished, labor is more hon
orable, more necessary. Young men must
become tradesmen, manufacturers and me-
chanics Northern friends are invited TO
come.
Immediate provision must be made for the
protection of the freedmen by the Govern
ment This is expected by the President
and Congress will remove the pretext for
military rule. The election of electors for
PRESIDENT ana vice ITeSlOenb SnOulu Dt
given to the people, and an early day fixed
for the election of members of Congress.
Should those elected be in Washington with
their certificates when the Clerk calls the
rolls they cannot be excluded any more
than those from Massachusetts.
No man in South Carolina can take the
test oath without perjury. 1t is not the policy
of the President to enforce this, as he believes
the right belongs to Congress. An cleo
tion is necessary for two United States
Senators, one for six years from the 30th Of
March last. He recommends the issuing OF
State bonds and selling them to pay the
debt, and avoid the present taxation for the
organization of the militia, the Sec
retary of State at Washington, hav-
ing given assurance that as soon as the
State Government is organized, all the
troops will be withdrawn from here. He
recommends the establishment of South
Carolina College on universal system, and
the reOpening of the Citidel Academy fol
Cadets. He opposes any measure looking
to the reputation of the State debt. He
recommends the exchange of public docu.
ments with all the sister States, He ha:
been informed by the Post Master Genera
that the mails will be carried over all of tht
railroads as soon as the Department is as
sured of the responsibility of the agents
| In conclusion he asks tfe people to lool
only to the future and not to the past.
