Commissioner of Agriculture.

Just prior to the adjournment of the Legis-
lature, the Senate confirmed the appointment
of John Heart, Esq, as Commissioners of Ag-
riculture. Mr.. Heart has filed the post of
Private Secretary to Gov. Scott for the last
three wears, and is we'll known as one of the
former proprietors of the Charleston Mercury.
Ia noticing this appointment, the Charleston
News says Cup to this time the office has been
of little, if any, service to the State, but we
doubt not that the known ability and energy
of Mr.. Heart will soon make the Bureau of
Agriculture highly valuable to the farmers and
planters, as we'll as interesting to the general
public. The appointment is good one, and
We are glad to see that it was promptly con-
frmed

The Consolidation Scheme.

We are not advised that any progress has
been made towards consolidation of the Green
Vile & Columbia and Blue Ridge Railroads,
under the recent Act of the Legislature to pro-
mote that end Gen. Harrison, President of
the Blue Ridge, has been at home for several
days, and seems to be very quietly enjoying
respite from the excitement and annoyance in
cident to prolonged stay about the capital
In giving history of the railroad bills brought
before the Legislature, the Columbia cores
pondent of the Charleston Courier adds the
following information
"By the State waving its first lien upon the
two Roads they are enabled to consolidate and
the Greenvlle Road claims to be able to put
out a first mortgage of nearly one and a half
millions, which will enable it to equip and re-
pair its road. The Blue Ridge has an addi-
tional value attached to its bonds, and it is said
can complete the grading of the road without
trouble. The consolidation, it seems, had been
proposed some time ago, but the terms refused
by the Greenville Road. What the ultimate
result of this new combination will be no one
can of course foresee The articles have not
vet been agreed upon, but taking it for granted
that the Blue Ridge Direction is able and will
protect its own interests, the consolidation will
fikely benefit both roads. The message of the
Governor on the subject contains very fair
statement of the facts, although jumbled up in
rather an unintelligible manner, and if the Bill
is carried out in good faith, a good result will
have been attained from what was i'll its incep-
tion bad measure.
Whatever may have been the special interests
of the two roads heretofore, the impression is
do;lx, gaining oround that the new consolidation
is really an honest effort on the part of both to
reach result beneficial to themselves, and,
they claim, to the State at large. 1t is claimed
that the consolidation puts financial resources
in the hands of the Company which will be
amply sufficient not only to put the Greenvile
road in perfect order, but to complete the gra-
ding of the Blue Ridge to Knoxville. If this
bo accomplished the credit Of the consolidated
Company with two hundred miles of completed
road, and nearly the same amount graded, thus
securing this long desired connection, will be
makes the road from Columbia to Knoxville an
ACCOMPLISHED fact

of South Carolina wiH hare erery year to pay, N
addition to all the other tarotion rhich noc eE'sfs
and qchich cren in the present amounts nearly to
d practical confscation Of their property.
But the enquiry naturally arises, whence the
necessity of any Funding Bill at all? The
debt of the State, which is justly due, can be
redeemed just as well without it as with it.. 1t
either adds to the debt of the State, or it does
not II it does then it is monstrous wrong
If it does not then it is either useless, or has
some. covered purpose. The latter we appre-
hend to be the truth. 1t is by the conversion
of the present alleged Indebtedness of the State
into the funded debt, to prevent any enquiry
into the extent, character and justice OF the
debt as it exists, or as to what has become OF
the numerous financial transactions of the past
few years, and thus forever silence enquiry and
prevent investigation. 1t is to convert these
doubtful, and uncertain, and in measure un-
known issues into true and valid liability,
and by taxing the people annually for their
redemption under the new form of sterling
debt enrich all those for whose benefit they
were issued. 1t either amounts to this, or else
the act is without purpose or meaning.

The Air Line Railroad.

The Spartanburg Spartan says that the work
on this Road is progressing rapidly in that
county. The contractors are now engaged in
grading through the town, and the bridge across
Lawson's Fork near town is being built, while
the contracts for bridges across Pacolet, Broad
river and other streams have been made, and
cross-ties are being delivered along the line.
The work is progressing at such rate as to
inspire the belief that railroad communication
between Spartanburg and Charlotte direct will
be made in less than twelve months.
This looks like business, and impels us to
ask the good people of Anderson if there is no
effort to be made towards securing the location
of the route through this town? The time is
at hand when vigorous, practical effort will ac-
complish great deal. Will our people grasp
the opportunity, and go to work earnestly upon
this subject? orwill they fritter away precious
time, and permit other communities to reap the
benefits Of this important connection?

The LAND CoMMIssIoS.-At last the public
has some definite and tangible information as
to the operations of the Land Commission.
The report of Commissioner DeLarge to the
Legislature shows that the present Commits
sioner has purchased 1859 acres of land, for
which be paid S173,5O6, or an average of about
five dollars per acre. The former Commission
er purchased 81, Ass acres, for which there were
paid S379,S23. Commissioner DeLarge evi-
dently does not relish the idea of being made
to shoulder the whole responsibility for the
deeds or nlisdeeds Of the Commission. He in
sists that he is, in fact, only clerk to the Ad-
visory Board. In closing his report he washes.
his hands of all responsibility for the doings Of
the Board in the following tart sentences: "It
will be seen that have never been in posses
sion of the bonds, as contemplated in the Act,
and that am consequently in no wise respon-
sible for any disposition that may have been
made of them. The lands l have purchased
have been paid for through orders on the State
Treasurer, approved by the Chairman of the
Advisory Board"

The TROUBLES IN CHEsTER.-The Union
Times gives the following particulars of the
difficulties last week in the adjoining county of
Chester
For some days exciting runners of serious
difficulties between the white and colored peo-
pie of Chester have been prevalentin our town,
and the people became very anxious about it.
That an armed force of colored people had
taken up their quarters at the Mt Carmel
Church, on the main road, about eight miles
this side of Chester Court House, was we'll au-
thenticated, and that Mr.. Garland Smith had
been bushwhacked and had his horse killed
under him, was also reported and believed. On
Tuesday, courier came from Chester calling
on the people of Union to so to the assistance
of the people of Chester Court House, to de-
fend that place from threatened attack FROM
the negroes. To this call number of our
young men promptly responded, and started
from here late Tuesday evening. Early. on
Wednesday morning, when about mile from
the church, hearing that the negroes had burnt
that building, and, it was supposed, left for
Chester, five of our men were sent forward to
find out the true condition of affairs. While
riding along the road near the church, five vol
in rapid succession, from behind trees and boul-
ders of rock. The white men retreated, and
the negroes made charge upon them. The
main body of the white men then came up and
returned the fire of the negroes, when they
broke and run. Seven negroes were killed and
one taken to the Chester Jail. It was mira
Gle that not one of the white men was killed.
The first fire of the negroes was deliberately
taken, not more than forty yards from the five
white men, but not ball touched one of them.
Mr.. J. w. Waters was so severely wounded
above the knee that amputation was found nee
essary. No other injury to the white men was
done, but they had one horse killed and two
badly wounded. The above can be relied upon
as the truth, for we have it from responsible
parties who know all about it. The white men
from Union had no intention or desire TO attack
the colored people, but were on their way, as
they believed, to protect the lives and property
of the citizens of Chester.

An Infamous SwindIe Prevented.

We publish below the message of Gov. Scott,
returning the bill to appropriate the sum of
S265O for expenses of the General Assembly.
His reasons are clear and convincing, and
at the temporary sacrifice of per diem and MI
leage, the Senate sustained the veto of Gov.
Scott. 1t seems that the Senators and mem
bers generally had understood the appropriation
made by this bill as S125, 1000 but when it was
engrossed and ready for ratification, it was dis
covered that the figures had swollen to the
enormous sum of S2G5, 900, making a difference
of $4,000, which was intended to cover the
expenses of fitting up the hall of the House OF
Representatives, it is supposed, and leave a
margin for other schemes of plunder and ex-
travagance The surprise manifested by the
Senate when informed of this state of affairs,
bordered on the ludicrous, and yet they deserve
credit for sustaining Gov. Scott's veto, and thus
aiding him to prevent an unmitigated, merci-
less and shameless swindling operation. The
latest explanation made of this anomalous fea-
ture of legislation is contained in card from
the Secretary of State, who alleges that the
change was made by the House of Represen,
tatives, as the journal of that body will show
Yet, it is little singular that so many mem
bers of the House and the entire Senate should
be kept in profound ignorance of this change
We would like to hear what Speaker Moses
knows on this subject. Doubtless more than
will ever be made public Here is the mes
sage:
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
COLUMBIA, March Z, 1861.
To the Honorable the Senate Of South Carolina
GENTLEMEN: return to your honorable
body, without my approval, an Act appropria-
ting s265, 900 for Legislative expenses, for the
following reasons, to wit:
First, regard the expenditure of the money
already appropriated during this session, and
the sum included in this bill, amounting in the
aggregate to 100000, as simply enormous fol
one session of the Legislature. 1t is beyond
the comprehension Of any one how the Gener-
al Assembly could legitimately e1pend one-hali
of that amount of money. [ cannot refrain
from expressing the opinion that there mnst
have been some secret agency in fixing the sum
at that amount, as q number of the members
both of the House and Senate, have expressed
their surprise at finding the appropriation
changed from Sl25,OOO, as it was believd tc
have passed, to that of s265,O0O. regret the
necessity of returning the Act without my ap-
proval, on the last day of the session, but to dc
otherwise, feel that would be recreant tc
the duties imposed upon me, by becoming a
party to wrong by which the whole people
would be made to suffer.
might give many other cogent reasons why
this bill should not become law, but time pre-
vents my doing other than giving it my un,
qualified disapproval, believing that the mem
bers of the General Assembly will, themselves
correct an error that must have crept into the
bill clandestinely in its enrolment.
Very respectfully,
ROBERT K. SCOTT, Governor.
