l would respectfully call your
attention to the remarks in my
last Message in, reference to the
organization of the militia, and
renew my recommendations on
the subject. The Adjutant Gen.
erals office cannot be organized
,until some action is taken by the
Legislature. ......:
~ / would respectfully recommend
as worthy Of your consideration
the propriety of devoting the mu-
nifeent donation of the Federal
Government to the establishment
of an educational institute in
Charleston for instruction in agri-
culture, mechanic arts, and the
higher branches of scientific and
classical studies. The buildings
and grounds connected With the
I Citadel Academy are admirably
adapted to the purpose.
Under the head ofviolations Of
law, the message goes over the
killing of Martin and Randolph,
the particulars of which are ia
miliar enough to be omitted, and
continues, large rewards have
teen offered for the apprehension
Of these murderers, some of whom
are known to be refugees and out
laws from adjacent States, who
availed themselves of the political
excitement as a cloak for their
schemes of rapine and murder !;
but such is the condition Of socie-
ty in their immediate neighbor-
hoods that neither the, promised
rewards nor the strenuous efforts
of civil officers, have accomplished
their arrest. They are fully armed
and mounted, and boast of the ex-
tent and power Of their organiza-
ton. And somewhat prominent
individual, who is himself .uuder
heavy bonds to answer the charge
Of completely in the murder ofthe
lamented Randolph, has had the
hardihood to publish an address
to the Executive, threatening still
further outrages and additional
victims. AS a discouraging evi-
dence Of the deterioration Of jour
nalastic morals, it may be men
toned that this covert threat OF
assassination has been published
and republished without a word
of censure or dissent.
The turbulent condition of at:
fairs in the localities to which !
have called your attention cannot
and must not be longer tolerated
A Government unable to enforce
; it's laws and protect its citizens is
a mockery and a sham, meritine
the scorn and contempt of it's op
ponents and unworthy the conf
denee and support of its friends
, It cannot administer justice
through it's Courts, or collect it'
revenue by taxation. A remedy
for these evils, which strike al
, the very foundation Of the State
, should be promptly applied. The
law must be made supreme. The
most arrogant must be taught tt
