From the Charleston Courier Sept. 81
Major General Gilmore and staff, who
accompanied General Meade on visit to
| the interior of the State, as far as Column
bia, returned yesterday evening by the
Northeastern Railroad General Meade
and party took the Wilmington and Man
chester cars at Florence. South Carolina,
for Wilmington, en- route on his return
North. "
THE party, on leaving here last Friday,
took the Northeastern Railroad, and,
notwithstanding the delay in the exam
inatien of all the military posts on the
route, including Burlington, Sumter and
Florence, reached Columbia on Sunday,
where they were met by his Excellency
Governor Perry A very pleasant and
satisfactory interview took place, result.
ing in an agreement and the partial res
toration of civil power throug the entire
State by the full and complete establish
ment of the civil courts for the trial of
all cases except those of freedmen and
persons of color In all cases of the lat
ter, and where the testimony of colorcd
persons is necessary, the Provost Mar.
Shall Courts are, for the present, to have
exclusive cognizance and adjudication.
All cases between white persons are to
be heard and adjudicated by the State
courts, municipal authorities or civil
officers, under and according to the laws
of the State. The civil courts are to be
opened under the direction of his Excel
lency the Governor, and the civil and
municipal officers are to be permitted to
resume their official duties and discharge
them without interruption.
During the interview Governor Perry
spoke in warm terms of commendation
of the action and proceedings of the
courts lately established by order Of Geu-
eral Gilmore. General Meade expressed
himself we'll pleased with the condition
of affairs in South Carolina, stating that
everything was working to his entire
satisfaction, and it would be his pleasing
duty to report the fact to the Department
at Washington.
With the result of the interview our
citizens have every cause for congratula-
ton Although civil power is not yet
fully restored, martial law and the sus-
pension of the writ of habeas corpns still
remaining, it is evident that the Govern.
ment is anxious to complete the work of
restoration as rapidly as possible.
General Gilmore and staff left on the
steamer Colt last evenining for Hilton
Head.

published yesterday morning, breathes
exactly the right spirit. 1t contains no
threats of wholesale confscation, exile,
or hSnging, but invokes the honor and
invites the love of the South, rather than
adds fuel to her hate. The President
identifies himself with the Southern peo-
pie and displays towards them amagna-
nimity and kindness for advocating

The charge made by Judge JACKSON
to the Grand Jurors at the present SEES
sion of the District Court in this city,
which may be found in another column
this morning, is in perfect harmony with
President JoHNsoN's opinions, and like
wise embodies the policy which we have
always urged. The charge is both argu-
mehtative and instructive and is we'll
worthy of the distinguished gentleman
who pronounced it. 1t presents the law
very clearly and forcibly and it's publica-
ton will doubtless-do much good in qni,
citing the turbulent elements of society
in many portions of this State, and put
ting final end to the lawlessness which
found so many advocates not many
months ago We commend it to the care
full perusal of cur friends and recommend
that it he widely circulated. 1t is the
same in substance with the charge de
livered recently in Clarksburg by the
same gentleman, and it is worthy of re
mark that, while the radicals there ex
pressed themselves openly against it, TIL
same class of malcontents here have pre-
served a sullens silence concerning th'
| policy it enioins.
