Meeting of the General AssembIy-The
Governors Message, etc.

COLUMBIA, Nov. 2S.-The general assembly
met to-day, when Governor SCOTS message was
read. The governor states that the whole debt
is S11 1894 sos, which statement he knows, from
severe personal scrutiny, to he correct, nothing
being suppressed. He argues that the deprecia-
ton of the state credit is due to the persistent
threats of reputation made by individuals and
the press for political purposes, without which
the debt would not exceed $4,000, 900. He is
confident that the state will pay all obligations
to the last cent. He recommended that the
legislature prohibit the borrowing of money or
contracting of debts to meet the current eX-
penses. He condemns extra sessions of the
legislature, without which attacks of the oppO-
sition could not be successful.
He urges the legislature TO make the session
short and economical and recommends a fixed
salary to MEMBERS that numerous offices be
abolished; that the salaries of all officials, ex-
cept Judges be reduced one third; that the tax
on real estate be lessened; that u license system
be adopted; that rice, cotton and railroad tom
mage be taxed; that the bonds of the state be
be taken at par in payment of land bought at
tax sales, on the title being warranted by the
state; that public lands, TO the value of mil
lion of dollars, be sold, and state bonds taken in
payment.
He reviewed at length the causes which led
him to ask a suspension Of the habeas corpus
as, under the kukluX law, he claims that conca-
ton proved useless, and the courts would not
for weakness He declined to call out the militia,
because it consisted of negroes who would have
been slaughtered, and the people led TO believe
that the conflict was between negroes and whites,
instead of between friends of the government and
its enemies, AS late as last spring, many pr0mi-
nent citizens promised him their cooperation in
the suppression of kukluXism, but they effected
nothing, and, the civil power being exhausted,
the governor applied to the national govern.
ment TO protect the state against domestic yio=
lence,
He approves the principle of minority repre-
Sentaton; advises changes in the election law,
to prevent fraud; urges the legislature to avoid
all unnecessary appropriations, and believes the
legislature will so act as to prove that republic
canism and good government in South Caro-
lima are not, as falsely alleged, inconsistent
with each other.
The message was made the special order for
Monday next. A number of bills will be intro
duced, looking to retrenchment and reform, but
none on the subject Of reputation,

THE HEALTH OF THE PRINCE.
LONDON, Nov 2S-NoOH.-lhe journals this
morning rejected the uneasiness which is con
ccalcd by no one with regard TO the condition of
the prince OF Wales Some gave rumors, repre-
scented as current at Windsor, that he was worse
and much alarm felt az the castle. This, coupled
with the announcement that the queen would
probably remain all day to-day at the Sandring
ham residence of the prince, strengthened the
impression. The crisis of the fever is at hand
and the dlngcr is great but the latest bulletin of
the princes physicians issued since the appear
ance of the morning papers, is unexpectedly re-
assuring and tends to relieve the anxiety caused
by the newspaper reports. 1t was stated that
the prince was able to sleep during the night,
and that the fever was lessentng.

The SMALLEST ENGINE IN THE WORLD
The maker of a miniature engine shown us last
evening claims for himself and our city the
honor OF producing the smallest engine in the
world. However great that honor may be, the
engine is surely a wonderfully small piece Of
mechanism. 1t is made of gold and silver, and
fastened together with screws, the largest of
which is one-eighteth of an inch in size The
engine, boiler governor and pumps, stand in
space seven-sXteenhs ofan inch square, and are
fve-eighths of an inch high Perhaps a better
idea of its smallness will be conveyed by saying
that the whole affair may be completely covered
with acommon tailor thimbe. The engine alone
weighs but fifteen grains, and yet every part is
complete, as may he seen by microscopic eXami-
nation; and it may beset in motion by filling the
boiler with water and applying heat, being sup,
piled with all valves, &C. to he found upon an
ordinary upright engine. To attempt an est.
mate of its power would seem like rather small
business, but, for guess, our opinion is that
span of well-led heas would furnish more force
if they were properly harnessed and shod The
little thing would tug away several minutes if
encouraged by drop Of water heated by the app
plication of burnt finger. Mr.. d. A. A. Buck.

STILL Another FATAL RAILROAD ACCI-
DENT.-Rev. j. S. Burke, Catholic priest, was
struck on the head by a freight train on the
Boston and Albany railroad, about halrpast
eleven O'Clock last night. His skull was broken,
allowing his brain to protrude, and rendering
him entirely scnseless. He was found by OF
ficers Foster and Eaton, and by them conveyed
TO the city hospital. Drs. Kelley, Rice and Park
attended him, but at last accounts there was no
possible chance for his recovery 1t is said that
he was educated in Worcester where he has
friends now living, and that he has been resid-
ing at Clinton, A bottle of whiskey was found
upon him. which furnishes the only clue to the
cause of the accident.
TURKEY FOR THE PooR.-Last year, while
several benevolent citizens were thinking thank
full thoughts a few days before Thanksgiving,
they were moved by the kindness of their hearts
to buy a turkey and send to some destitute fei-
low citizen, or to the table OF the widow and the
fatherless that the same thankfulucss might be
awakened among the needy as is so universal
on this day of all The year among those
whose wants are well supplied, The task OF
delivering the turkeys was taken by members
of the police force, and the gratitude expressed
by the remembered ones was ample payment
for the trouble. The same opportunity to ex-
ercise the blessed privilege of giving now pre-
sents itself again. Tue police know who the
destitute famihes-not able 10 enjoy such lux
uries-are, aud if individuals or firms wishing
to contribute, win leave the turkeys at the police
station, the marshal will see that the needy ones
are made happy according to the number
brought ill., Last year sixty turkeys were dis
tributed to poor families from The police office
