GUBERNATORIAL MESSAGE.

NASHVILLE, March 20, 1S73.-Gentle-
men of the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatiVes: There are some important
measures yet pending before the House of
Representatives, and among them the two
revenue bills. One of them, Senate bill No.
1874, to improve the assessment and revenue
laws, and the other, Senate bill No. 262, to
provide revenue for the State and to sustain
the credit thereof. These bills have passed
the Senate and two readings in the House,
and the former has been on its third read
ing for day or two.
You have enacted a law to fund your
past due debt, and pledged the faith, honor
and credit OF the State for the resumption
of the payment of interest on the bonded
debt on the 1st day of July, 1874, and to
pay it promptly every six months there
after.
The Sd section of that act provides that
"the Treasurer shall set apart for that ex-
elusive purpose so much of the revenues as
may be necessary to pay the interest on the
bonds, commencing with the interest that
falls due on the LIST of July, 1874"
submit to your earnest consideration,
whether after you have set apart a sufi-
cheney of the revenues to meet the INSTALL
ments of interest as above provided and
ordered, you can meet the appropriations
made by you at the present session, amount
ing to nearly S250,000 over and above the
estimates made for the ordinary expenses
Of the Government, and the underlined sp-
preparation for the purchase of statutes
for Justices Of the Peace.
1t must, therefore, be clearly evident to
every member of the General Assembly
that the State cannot meet these with its
other obligations, without material i'm
provement in existing revenue laws. | beg
most earnestly to present for your consider
alton the importance of final action upon
these vital questions before you adjourn,
even if day or two beyond the period for
which you are entitled to pay should be re-
CURED.
Without intimating whether an extra
session would be called in the event you fail
to provide sufficient revenue, yet it is most
manifest that it is far better for the General
Assembly to sit few days longer, at a
trifing cost to each member, rather than
the State should incur an expense of $685.
900 or more for an extra session. The bills
in question are well nigh matured. Ifyou
adjourn without final action upon them, they
are lost, and all the labor you have bestowed
upon them will prove useless. l therefore
appeal to you, sctuated alone by an earnest
and ardent desire to preserve and sustain
the honor and plighted faith Cf the State,
to continue your present session until you
shall have provided ample revenue to meet
the obligations incurred by the measures of
this session. Upon you, and you alone,
rests the responsibility now. And 1 feel
sure you will meet it with the promptness
its magnitude deserves.
Respectfully,
JOHN G. BROWN, Governor.

SEVEN Of the jurors who tried Foster for
She murder of Putnam in New York, and
agreed 10 verdict of murder in the first
degree, swore to a statement, which was
presented to Gov. Dix, that conviction could
never have been obtained but for the belief
by the Jurors that a recommendation q
mercy would procure commutation of the
sentence to Imprisonment for life, and ask
ing the Governor to prevent the execution.
Such confession as this is well calculated to
throw distrust upon the trial by jury.

impossible to raise vegetables there of any
kind, but within the past ten years consid-

+ IT is announced thar the Countess Month
j., mother of the ex-Empress Eugene, has
suddenly lost her eyesight. This is not
strictly true, as she has been almost wholly
blind for many years, though it has been a
point of etiquette in her palace never to
refer to this infrmity, but to address her as
if her eyes were as bright and good as they
were half century ago, when they shared
the wandering soul of the young and disso-
lutte Count of Teba. The same curious
etiquette prevails in the titular court of the
exiled King of Hanover, at Hietzing. He
has been. stone blind for years, yet the sub
ject is never mentioned in his court, and
His Majesty keeps up the dreary comedy
by complimenting the ladies who are pre-
sented to him on the freshness of their COM
plexions and the taste of their toilets.

THE Hreolz- Zeitang, turning from abuse
of England, has now perpetrated an cpl.
gram, which may be thus translated:
When Richard fed from BOsworth field
And tOemeH barred his headlong course;
He cried, in wild dismay and fear,
A kingdom for horse!
But when DER Bidassoas bridge
A wandering king was seen to pass;
This comment rose in every mind
A kingdom for an ass!
This production appears harmless as re-
CARDS the illustrious person the Kre1tz-Zei-
t1tng intended to insult, inasmuch as he has
just given conspicuous proof of wisdom
and high moral courage, but it conveys
useful warning to any unattached Prince
purposing to convert into kingdom the
neWly-inauguTat Republic of Spain.

SOUTHERN MANUFACTURERs.-Com
upon the growth of the manufacturing inter-
ests in the South, the Philadelphia Gazette
says:
And yet while We apprchend that eventually
the Southern mills will be devoted almost ex-
clusively to the fabrication of yarns, it is GER
tain that they have done far more than seemed
possible few years since in the whole manu-
facture. They secure the staple fresh, unin-
iured by baling and compressing and free from
the cost of bagging, hopping and transporta-
ton. They have coal and they have water.
Some of their cotton mills have paid fifty per
cent. profit, and many twenty-five per cent,
and consequently very great interest has been
awakened. This hss flowed over into the pro-
duction of cotton. Last years crop was the
largest raised since The war and the most valu-
able ever gathered. 1t was so, indeed, in great
measure because the colored people have found
that they must earn their own living, and at
tempting this, have ascertained that efSft will
secure property in addition to bread; and be-
cause both the white employer and coored
laborer have learned that it is to their mutual
interest to keep the contracts into which they
enter. But this discovery was not weakened
by having other interests near that demanded
peace and industry, and the mills were and are
apostles of Cancellation between the races, and
have done much, as they will continue to do,
in increasing production.

DEATH OF Mr.. JOHN HEART.-This gentle
man. who was we'll known in this city in
former wears, as connected with the Charleston
lfercura, died lately on board the Steamship
Charleston, on her passage from this city to
New York, and was buried on Staten Is'ard.
Mr.. Heart was native of Pennsylvania, and
by trade printer, but removed when young to
Washington City, where he was employed first
as a compositor, and afterwards as reporter and
editor. About 1S45, he came to Charleston,
and was associated for some time with Colonel
John E. Carew in the conduct of the Mercury,
and after the retirement of Colonel Carew, he
became associated with Mr.. W. R. Taber, and
later with Colonel R. B. Rhett, jr., and con-
tinued his connection with that prominent
journal until 1858, when, having received the
appointment of Superintendent of Public
Printing, he returned to Washington. During
the war, Mr.. Heart served as special agent Of
Confederate Post Office Department. Since
1865. he has been engaged in journalism in
Memphis; was Private Secretary to Governor
Scott, in Columbia, and more recently, has
been an employee of the Government Printing
Office, at Washington. During his recent visit
to Charleston, the terribly shattered condition
of his health was subject of sad and general
comment among his friends. His age was

THE New PARTY MovEMENT.-Panaceas
for the healing of our political ills are quite
abundant. Scarcely have the merits OF the uni
6cation scheme ceased to be discussed when the
political atmosphere vibrates with the echoes
of another remedy. This last comes from the
brain of the Hon. Mr. Groesbeck, OF Ohio.
While the unifcation scheme has its beginning
and ending in the darkey, free trade Is the soul
of the Groesbeck remedy. The Ohio statesman
accepts the situation in regard to the present
status of the negro, being OF the opinion that
while the right of suffrage was granted him
prematurely, any attempt to deny or curtail
that right would be unwlse and inexpedlent.
The wholesale voting of the ignorant Southern
negroes he evidently disapproveS OF, yet IN
despair of any escape he is disposed to accept.
it as a necessary evil. The protective policy OF
the government is measure that he does not
accept, and one upon which he takes issue and
calls earnestly upon the members of the new
party to take issue. He claims that it is
in direct conflict with the fundamental princi-
ple that should prevail in republican govern
ments-that of according equal rights to all
the people, In other words, in his Judgment,
protection is,a discrimination in favor Of GER
tain privileged classes to the serious injury OF
the masses. Free trade will doubtless be re-
rarded with great favor in the West. The
1opularity in that section of the grange move
meut. whose cardinal doctrine is death to mo-
nopolies and privileged classes, is good evil
dence upon which to establish an opinion. The
Western farmers are determined to break down
the protective system, which has worked great
detriment to their interests. Mr.. Groesbeck
suggests that the proposed new party be styled
the Liberal Democratic party, and invites into
ranks all opponents of the party in power. If
free trade becomes the prominent issue at the
next Presidential election the South will hold
the balance of power, for while the West will
approve the Eastern and Middle States will
OPPOSE. If the contingency arises there cannot
be much doubt with what section the South
will cast her dcstines. She is decidedly in IA
vor of free trade for her interests will be great
ly promoted by the carrying out of this policy

HANDLING A SWAPPING TURTLE BY THE
WRoNa END.-A man named Grisley, who by
strict economy and severe industry has sue
ceeded in getting his family little place, free
from encumbrance, was fishing in Still River,
near the Beaver Creek Mills, on Sunday after
noon. After sitting on the bank for couple
of hours, without catching anything, he was
pratifed to see, on fiat stone in the water, a
Swapping turtle summing itself. The butt-end
of the turtle was toward him, and he thought
he Would capture it but while he was looking
for a place to stop, the turtle gravely turned
around without his knowledge, and when he
got in reaching distance, and stopped down to
take talk \ hold of What nature designed should be
taken hold of while handling swapping tur..
tie, that sociable animal just reached out and
took hold of Mr.. Grislcys hand with grasp
that left no doubt of its sincerity: The shrieks
of the unfortunate man aroused some OF the
neighbors, but when they arrived it was too
late to do anything for him; for they just
caught glimpse of bare-headed man tearing
over the hill, swinging small carpet-bag in
one hand and they at once concluded it was
narrow escape from highway robbery. How
ever, it was not carpet-bag he was swinging;
it was the turtle, and it Was clung to him until
he reached the White street bridge, when 1t let
90 but the frightened nan did not stop until
he got home. When he reached the house, the
righteousness of the affair burst upon him, and
when his wife looked at his pale face and bare
head, and dust begrimmed clothes, and asked
what was the matter, he said: "Nothing was
the matter, only he was afraid he would be too
late for church." and appeared to be much re-
lieyed to find that he wasn't.-Danbury Ne'os.
