From South Message of G'

CHARLESTON, June 29.-The Dailg Nelps
publishes an abstract of the message of
| General Scott, Governor elect, which is to
| be presented at the meeting OF the Legisia-
| ture on Monday next. General Scott urges
| that immediate provision be made for ex-
| tiuguishing the State debt so that at a
future time loans may be effected at lower
rates. He advises rigid economy and equl-
table taxation to insure regular payments of
accrued and coming due interest. He says
no obligations of the State should be evaded.
| In regard to education he recommends the
establishment of thorough system of
public schools, and that Congress be meme
rialized for aid, as the State is too poor to
pay for them by taxation.
He advises that crops be diversified and
| urges the passage of laws encouraging inl-
migration. He advises the Legislature to
relieve every citizen of all political disabili-
| ties. In regard TO militia he advises q
| thorough reorganization and that no oath
be required but to support the present con-
| stitutfon of the State. He strongly recon-
mends the encouragement of railroad enter
| prises, and advises measures for securing
| the immediate completion of the Blue
Ridge railroad. He advises the modification
of penitentiary jail, and judicial systems,
| and saws he hopes the freedmen's bureau
! will be terminated in the State by October.
| He regrets the recent disturbance in Cam
| den andlBarnwell districts, and expresses his
| determination to enforce the law against all
| disturbers of the peace of the State without
respect of persons; at the same time he ex-
| presses his belief that no organization ex-
| lists in South Carolina for the purpose OF
resisting OF obstructing the laws of the
State. He states that every man shall be
| fully protected in person aud property, and
| in the free exercise of all his rights as a
citizen 90 far as they depend upon the ex-
ecutive of the State. In conclueion he ex-

II saw your regiments as they went forth to war,
their ranks filled with men in the ygor and prime of
manhood 1t was my official privilege to thank them
in the name of the State when they returned with
hinned ranks and torn banners, which made go-

great deal has been said about colored Masons in
the South since the We have frequently hearc
it said that cclored Lodges operating in Virginia
and other Southern States under dispensatons from
the Grand Lodge Of New York. For the information
of those who may be misnformed on the subject, we
give below the action of the Grand Lodge of New
York, which has just adjourned on the subject of col
ored Lodges existing in that city:
A resolution was introduced to extend the right
hand of fellowship TO the several Lodges of coored
Masons in the city Of New York soonas they might
show desire to transfer their allegiance to the Grand
Lodge of New York, but the Deputy Grand Master In
the ehar) promptly and Justly decided that the reso-
luton one that called upon the Grand Lodge to
recognise clandestne Masons and he could not enter
tain it; that the socaed Lodges in the city were
clandestine and this Grand Lodge could not hold Ma
sonic intercourse with them.n
While on this subject, we would inform the freed
who may aspire to the privilege of becoming men,
bers of the fraternity that it is impossible unless the
of the order be changed and until this
done, you may rest assured that any Mason who tells
you to the contrary is ciandestine Mason, who will

The AsHBuRs AFFAIR.-An Atlanta (Ga) CORE
spondent of the New York Times writes as follows in
reference to the Ashburn trial;
The military commission for the trial of the Colum
bus prisoners for the alleged murder of the notorious
Ashburn has been dissolved and the prisoners will be
set at large and sent to Columbus tomorrow to be
dealt with by the civil authorities The belief is gen
eral that this will be the end of the matter The ev
denee thus far adduced for the defence-and one of
their leading counsel told that the strongest proof
was yet to be brought forward-has convinced every
that the accusation false and the result of
conspiracy. believe the military authorities of
the opinion, and from all can hear are glad of
the opportunity to get rid of the trial The chief wit
the prosecution both participants in the hon.
cide who turned States evidence have been sent to
Boston for safe keeping, and the detectives, Whitley
and his assistant have left Georgia fearing and
trial for conspiracy and subornaton perjury. Men
OF all parties Radicals well Democrats denounce
the action of these with the greatest bitterness
and would like to see them punished. They certainly
committed great outrages, and guilty of great
cruelty, if allowance is made for exaggeration in
the published statements of their conduct
If the truth were known, many of the so-called
Southern outrages reported in the Radical papers are
of the same character as this conspiracy.

The RADICAL FEELING CONCERNING THE DEATH OF
STEvEss.-Says Washington special of the l4th:
" The general feeling here among the thoughtful

could not possibly have happened at this juneture to
the party. There is who is capable of taking
his place or could WELD the Influence. No won
der they are gloomy, with the earpet-baggers going
back on them in Alabama, the negroes of the South

JoHssoS's srATUs.-A question is raised by our spe.
cial dispatches from Washington, which has personal
rather than political Importance attached to it, but
which is interesting. 1t is relative to the assde Of
Andrew johnson in this present campaign. Our cor
respondent alleges that, in interrogation
as to whether he wss for against the election Of
Seymour, the President shrugged his shoulders and
said he would like to know whether Seymour is to7
or against the administration"
Before this latter query could be answered in con-
else or satisfactory manner would like to know
perhaps must needs know, precisely what the admin
stration is. 1fit the Cabinet the swarm of Rad
ca ofieeholders who are working for Grant and Col.
fax suspect that Governor Seymour is not for the
administration. If it is the manly, ghspirited and
statesmanke line of policy generally laid down in tho
johnson messages we suppose he is, The admins
traton is a duo. 1t is what Pat understood as "a
twius.n
If Mr.. Johnson is wise he will not perpetrate any
such chdshness as his speech reported by CORE
spondent implies. He will come out strong for Sey-
mour at a time when his work will do Seymour good
and himself good He will not wait until the matter
to be matter Of interest," and lay in at the tail
end of the fight with ungraeious adherence to the
ticket after the mauaer of his last amnesty"
