! would respectfully call your
attention to tho remarks in my
Inst Message in reference to the
organization Of tho militia. and
renew my recommendation on
tho subject. Tho Adjutant Gen

-. lwould respectfully recommend
as worthy Of your consideration
the propriety Of dcvoting tho mu-
onificent donation of tho Federal
Government to tho establishment
of on educational institute in
Charleston for instruction in agri-
culture, mechanic arts, and tho
higher branches Of scientific and

Under the head Of violations OF
law, tho message goes over the
killing Of Martin and Randolph
the particulars Of which arc fa
miIior enough to bo omitted, ant
continues, large rewards have
tcen offered for the apprehension
Of these murdcrcrs, some OF whom
arc known TO be refugees and out
laws from adjacent States, who
availcd themselves Of tho poIitica
excitement as cloak for theil
schemes Of rapinc and murder
but such is the condition Of socie
ty in their immediate ncighbor
hoods that neither THO promised
rewards nor the strenuous efforts
Of civil officers, have accomplished
their arrest. They arc fully armed
and mounted, and boast Of the OK
tent and power Of their organiza
ton. And q somewhat prominent
individual, who is himself Jude,
heavy bonds to answer tho charge
Of completely in tho murder Of The
lamentcd Randolph, has had the
hardihood to publish M address
to the Executive, threatening Still
further outragcs and additiona
victims. AS discouraging evi
dcncc OF tho deterioration Of Jour
nalastic morals, it may be mon
toned that this covert threat o
assassination has been publishct
and republished without u wore
Of censurc or dissent.
The turbulent condition Of af
fairs in the localities to which
have called your attention canno
and must not be longer tolerated
q A Government unable to enforce
its laws and protect it's citizons il
mockcry and sham, mcritint
tho scorn and contempt Of it's op
ponents and unworthy tho conf
donce and support Of its friends
q 1t cannot administer justic
through it's Courts, or collect it
revenue by taxation. A rcmcd,
for these evils, which strike a
the very foundation Of tho State
0 should be promptly applied. Th
law must be mado supreme. Th
most arrogant must be taught t
obey it's bchcsts tho humblcst as
n sured Of its protection.
