LEGATION OF LEGAL NOTICES. coLoRED AD-
JUTANT GENERAL.
GFRoM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.
COLUMBIA, 8. c., March 22.-The solemn
agreement to adjourn on Wednesday, 24th IN
slant. is not likely to be revoked, as there Is q
very general desire to get away. Several o'ls
of importance will have to go over to the next
session. Among these are bill for the oare
of the poor; bill to amend the charter OF Ger
tain villages, towns and cities in the State, and
the educational BILL Senator Jilson, superin-
tendcpt of education, has worked earnestly to
inausurate well-balanced system OF educa-
tion and free schools for the State, and was
warmly supported by the Senate. His efforts,
however, have been thwarted by parties who
managed to get through bill in the House
entirely subve1siye and upsetting tte whole OF
the present excellent arrangement OF the free
school system established in Charleston and
elsewhere Just previous to the breaking out OF
the war. Tue Houses therefore not being able
to agree, both bills have bern laid on the table.
THIS morning Senator Jillson submitted an
able report, from which the following para
graphs are taken:
The Committee on Education, to whom was
referred bill from the House OF Representa-
tiyes entitled "a bill to establish aud MAINTAIN
a system of public schools for the State OF
South Carolina" report that they are ayerse TO
the passage Of said bill for the following tea
Sous, to wit ,s
1st. That it is very deficient and im1erfect In
| its arrangement and detail.
I'd. That it's provisions are totally inadequate
to meet the exigencies incident to the estab-
| lishment aud maintenance OF sound, liberal
and progressive system of common school edu-
caticn.
8. That some Of it's provisions are unequal,
unjust and unrepubican. The provisions In
section which empower the School Commits
sioners OF the County OF Charleston to appoint
school director from each ward OF the city
OF Charleston, are so glaringly unjust and un-
wise as to DC apparent to the most cursory
observation. The City OF Charleston has
already 2 well organized and well regulated
system Of common schools, and an efficient
Board OF School Commissioners, who shouid
remain in Office until their successors shall
have been elected by the citizens OF said city.
In accordance with the report message was
sent to the House, but that body while agree
ing to the proposition to appoint Committee
Of Conference. declined to appoint the Coa-
mittee on Education of the House on said
committee. On the return Of this message
from the House, the Senate thereupon laid
both bills and the House message on the
table.
Governor on the act to provide for the uniform
| and proper PRONUNCIATION of all legal and pub
lie notices:
STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
ExECU TIVE DEPARTMENT,
COLUMBIA. March %, 1869.
To The Honorable the Senate Of South CarotaHd: F.:
| f1i1 tO hon.
orable body, in which it originated, IAN act
to provide for the unlfo:m aud proper promul.
| cation Of all legal and public notices" without
nv approval, for the following reasons:
In the first place, deem 1T unnecessary, as
there has been no complaint or evidence ad-
dnced that the system at present existing is
not amply sufficient and satisfactory for us
purposes. ,.,,,.
in imposing upon particular State othcer, IN
addition to his present duties, which are sui
| ficiently onerous, large amount OF LABOR
which lecitimately belongs to his colleagues IN
the several departments of the State govern
! ment, and to the local authorities IN their re-
spectiye counties. The county officers, es-
| pecially whose duty it is to advertise the legal
notices, may be supposed, from ther local
knowledge, to be better advised OF the stand
! ing and circulation of their nelghborlng Jour
nails than persons at q distan'e. 10 them the
| constitution and laws have entrusted the d.
rection and supervision OF county ahalrs ana
county expenditures, and until they are shown
| to be Incompetent or untaithful, deem 1T the
part of wisdom and sound policy for the State
| to interfere with them in the discharge OF
their duties, or intermeddle with strictly coun'
ty matters, as little as is absolutely necessary.
In the third placs, the designating OF CERTAIN
newspapers as Official organs" OF the State,
and of the countless consider highly inexpe-
dent and improper. With but single eacep-
in ffnn q
in1rnical to the existing State government. !
am unwilling to endorse their misrepresenta-
tions. or 70 increase their power OF mischief,
| nv conferrinc upon them the name or character
Of s'oficial organs" Of the State or counties.
Necessity compels their use to We circulation
to our legal notices, which OF themselves sum
ciently indicate their Official character, anu as
the object Of advertising is publicity, the Off
GERS interested in the several localities are the
best Judges Of what newspapers will most et-
fectually accomplish their object and satisfy
the requirements OF law.
For these reasons feel constrained to with
hold my approval of this act; and resPecttun!
return it to your honorable body.

The Governor also sent the following mes
sage:
