Mr.. Danuelly, of Orangeburg, said he had
heard nothing but clustering, and talk OF muir
ders and riots, &C., and had seen no measures
taken, as he desired, to promote peace ana mar
mony between all clases and races, and that
would rebound to the interest of the wholepeo-
pie.
called upon. He said from the reports and
evidence OH all sides given, it must be admit
ted that there are serious disturbances in the
country: but the idea that all the disturbances
were confined to the up-country, or all the out
RACES perpetrated entirely by Democrats, was
| false that he was prepared to second any meas
urcs looking to the preservation of the peace
and the enforcement of the law by all legal
means, but would strenuously oppose any In
terposition of the military arm of the Govern
ment. which he felt confident could but result
in. a worse and more lamentable complication
Of matters These disturbances have a cause,
and if that cause be removed, their cure would
follow Let the Legislature cease to do evil,
and good would necessarily follow. lie op-
posed the indecent and unjustitiaele attacks
made upon the Governor within the last few
DAYS. Gov Scott was not the man OF his choice,
but he was prepared to recognize and respect
him as the Chief Executive Of the State; and
that so far, at least during the present admin
istration, he was conscious OF no act OF c1ov'
Scott that should subject him to such malign-
ment and abuse He hoped that no extraordi-
nary and hasty action would be adopted, but
that the General Assembly would assist the
Executive in an impartial and fearless admin
istration of the law, which, in his opinion, was
| fully adequate to answer the necessities OF the
! occasion.
Mr.. Jamison, of Orangeburg, said the time
for reasoning and consideration was passed
the time for action had come. Reasoning was
the great fault of the Republican party, and
had caused such disasters to it. He favored
the levy of tax upon the wealthy citizens of
the disorderly Counties to pay for every man,
woman and child injured. Then you will see
every property holder vigilance committee,
and all outragcs will Immediately cease. He
wanted to dive into the pockets of the property
holders, for to them and their money WAS due
the troubles that exist in the up-country.
Mr.. Hurley believed that the difficulty was
not with the white people, nor with the black
people of South Carolina, but with the E1ecu-
tive. who had failed to execute the laws from
incompctcncy and cowardice to do his duty.
He should be forced to obey the behests of the
law ard if he would not, the General Assem-
bly, must do it for him. We must as Charles
Rcade says, put ourselves in his place, and see
that the power of the law be vindicated Suf-
ficient laws had been made and ample appro-
priation granted to enable the Governor to sup
press every disturbance in the State since its
Organization, and if the laws had rot been duly
executed, of certainty every dollar of the
money, at least, had been expended: The whole
cause of all the troubles was the abuse by the
Governor of his appointing power, by placing
into office ignorant, cowardly and inefficient
men. Immense applause
