COLUMBIA, February 8.l-The recent change
in the schedule of the ChsS%otte and South Ca
rolina Railroad will, even II it is not so design
ed, work serious injury to bAe trade of Charles
ton. Both passengers andSsaie mails from your
city are compelled by. the ahange to lie over in
Columbia from four o'clocl& the afternoon to
twelve O'Clock the next Gay. The change,
however, in no way affects the communication
with Augusta. They still . onnect W ith the 6
A. M. train going to Charleston and Augusta,
but fail to connect with the four O'Clock train
as usual from Charleston.
The Governor sent to tie Senate to-day the
following message, ACCOMPANIED by numerous
ly signed petitions Of the citizens Of Columbia
and Lexington
STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.,
COLUMBIA, February 3, 1869.
To the Honorable the President Of the Senate:
SrR-The enclosed mens1rials Of citizens of
Columbia, and OF the County Of Lexington, for
the erection of free bridge across the Con-
garee River, opposite Coembia. are respect
fully transmitted to your honorable body with
a recommendation that they may be favorably
considered. The importance or the means of
safe and speedy communication between this
city and the surrounding country cannot be
over estimated, and it is highly desirable that
they should be provided at as early date as
practicable.
The question as to whether the expenses
connected with the construction Of free
bridge across the Congaree should be betrayed
by the State or the counties moro especially
Benefited by the improvement, is matter ap.
prOpriately for your consideration. 1t may
also be question whether steps should not
be taken to compel the corporators Of the old
bridge to comply with the requirements OF
their charter, OF to surrepder the privileges
conferred therein.
Very respectfully,
ROBERT K. SCOTT. Governor
