ESPECIAL TsLEeRAA TO THE NEwsl

TSPEC1AL TELEGRAM TO THE NEWS
COLUMBIA, February Is.
The following is synopsis of Governor
Scotl's message, sent to both houses Of the Gen.
eral Assembly to-day:
In response to the inquiry Of the Joint commit
tee, what further legislation is needed for the
suppression of OF TRACES, sey, respectfully, tnas
know OF no further legislation in addition to
that already suggested. 1t is evident that the
late deliberate murders were perpetrated to hide
In the graves OF the victims OF the assassins, all
traces Of former crimes by preventing the
recognition Of those engaged in them. 1t Is Of
the utmost importance that measures should be
adopted not only to deter The turbulent from
committing crime, but 10 punish with the eseVerest
penalties those guilty Of such outrages upon CIV
ilization. or such measures deem none OF such
imp6rtance as the election Of an efficient pre-
siding Judge In the place Of Judge Vernon, for
that District. would suggest the consolidation
OF all those counties into one judicial District and
appeal to the Legislature that In their choice, all
party prejudices and personal preferences be Set
aside, and that they select man whose character
ia q guarantee for the faithful! performance OF his
duty.
1 have forwarded the resolution adopted by
the General Assembly to the General Government
and have little doubt that the request will be
granted by sending sufficient force to garrison
these counties. have confidence that the civil
law will be amply sufficient to give protection.
The Senate rejected the House resolution 10
send committee to Washington, and passed
resolution instructing the representatives at the
capital to lay the matter before the President and
transmit copy OF the resolutions adopted.
The House passed bill re-estabush1ng the
usury laws, by vote OF seventy-six to sixteen;
also the Yemassee Railroad bill, and the bi re-
newing the charter Of Mount Pleasant. The reso-
luton providing for two sessions each day Was
rescinded.
