sG- Hon. John R. Cochran, Senator from
this County, has introduced the following Bills,
which go to prove that he has commenced to
redeem his pledges:
Bill to provide for the registration of all elec-
tors.
Bill to provide for the election of Justices of
the Peace.
Bill to make the offices of County Auditor
and County Treasurer elective.
Should these Bills pass both Houses and be-
come laws, better order of things will be in
s.i.ated, and the greatest good will accrue to
the State. The one in reference to the regis
tration of voters will hereafter do away with
illegal voting and stuffed boxes, over which
many of the Radical press organs are now harp
ing. Col. Cochran's course while member of
the lower House was satisfactory to his Con-
stituents, and judging from the vigorous course
which he has commenced in the Senate, we
NAV anticipate the best results.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.

We learn that one day Last week, as Mr.. John
Cason, who lives near Shutdown, was returning
home from Williamson after selling cotton, ne
was robbed Of one hundred and eight dollars.
He left Williamson soon in the afternoon, and
had arrived in the neghborhood of farm
house about two miles out from the town; when
he was attacked by two colored men who came
from the bushes on the side of the road. One
Of them was armed with clab, and the other
with pistol. The one with club caught and
held his bride reins, while the other, pistol in
hand, divested him of his money. Although
efforts have been made to have them arrested,
they are still at large.

An Old and Tjme-Honored Corps.

The Washington Light Infantry, of Charles
ton, we'll known throughout the State as South
Carolina's oldest and most time -honored corps,
having been in existence for upwards Of three
quarters of century, have determined, under
the auspices of the.lgenerous ladies of Charles
ton, aided by their friends in Virginia and
Georgia, to hold Fair, to be opened in the
City of Charleston on the first day of February
next. The proceeds of this Fair will be de-
voted to the maintenance of the widows and
orphans of deceased members, who willingly
gave up their lives on their countrys battle
fields while struggling for home and liberty, the
dearest interests of all freemen. Deriving their
name from the illustrious Washington, the
father of his country, and bearing at the head
of their column the battle flag Of Cowpens, CIV
en- to them by the widow of William Washing
ton, the hero who devoted his life to the glo-
rious task of driving the Briton from Carolina's
shores, they stand to-day high in the estimation
of the people as the noble relic of long ago, and
the most honorable and chivalrous corps in the
State. The Fair which they propose to give is
for a noble and laudable purpose, and it is to be
hoped that the people Of the up-country wild
not be backward in contributing either money
or articles for the tables. Any contributions
will be most gratefully received and the bless
ings of the widow and orphan will rest upon
these who can afford to cast in their mite.

The Governors Message.

Our readers will perceive that we have con-
sumed much of our space by printing the entire
message, so that all may read and judge for
themselves of this highly important and inter-
esting document. hesuggestions made by the
Governor are all practical and look to the re-
form and retrenchment so much needed IN the
administration of the affairs of the State, and II
followed up in good faith by the Legislature
and executive, will do much to produce peace
and comparative prosperity.
Gov. Chamberlain must, however, show by
his acts that he desires to be the Governor of the
whole people of the State, and not the partisan,
TO entitle him to future fame as statesman and
patriot.
