/ The ostensible object of his recent
letter TO Morton, as wo conceive it,
vast to feel the Northern Republican
pulse in reference to his refusal to
commission Moses and Whipper, and
to show that, in his efforts at reforma-
ton, he himself had not deserted the
Republican camp; and, in doing this,
he had to set forth in strong and un-
mistakable torms the, unworthiness
and incapacity OF the judges elect, and
invoke the good will, sympathy, and
I oven aid of the Northern Republican
party--ln other words, that they
must decide whethcr thoy would give
him their aid and sympathy in "un-
loading South Carolina" and thereby
saving it to the Republicans in the
coming Presidential election, or give
their sympathy to the corrupt judges
| elect, and thus cause tho State TO &c
Democratic. Tho Governor should
look moro to the material and pecu-
mary interests of tho State, and seek
on all occasions hcr prosperity and
famo through all good agencies wheth
er Republican or Democratic. Hc
should rise above partisan spirit, and
set the noble example of being u Gov>
ornor of the whole people.

Tboro was resolution introduced
into the LEGISLATURE to oxnunre Wbin

against the Governor from tho iournov
of tho Houso, Tho introducor Of tho
resolution said. "bo had no anoloev 10

he felt it had no right to be on the
ioural; had tho address boon coucbod
in tho most chasto language, or was
oven n ouloav he would bavo onnosod
it lust the same; his reason for intro
ducing it was that il was unfair to
attach ovon the bumblest citizen bv
making a speech dcnoancinn him and
thon have it published on the iourn-
al" Speaker Elliott then called the
attention Of the House to two ouos>
tions before it, first: "Was the speech
of the gentleman from Beaufort on
the journal Of the House by proper
constitutial authority; secondly, Had
tho House the power to cxpunro it
from it's proceedings" To tho first
question ho answered, "no;" to the
second, he answered, eyes"
Elliott then in language moro im~
passioncd than is his wont IN the
House detailed to that body tho whole
circumstances Of how Whppor's
speech got upon tho journal. lie
commenced by saying that, to all the
charges already made against Whip
per, should be added that of "in~
grato," and that he would fix upon his
torchad in blistoring words that OF
"falsificr." Ho thon said that it. was
tho duty of the Clerk to take charge
of the journal and record the proceed
ings, and that tho Clerk and the
journal woro under his jurisdiction.-
Ho gave his excuse for allowing it to
be entered on tho journal, that he
was absent from tho chair, attending
to a law examination, Mr.. Curtis oc>
cupying tho chair, and that when he
returned TO tho chair tho journal had
been passed. upon. The Speaker
finding that it had been spread upon
the journal by the order of Whippor,
sent for Whippcr and other friends
and colleagues of Whipper, who camo
to tho stand, and he said that he re-
grotted and was surprised TO find il
had been donc--saylng that he had
no desire 10 shirk any responsibility
that he would meet Whippor with
force against force, but that his force
was rhetoric founded on truth-that
he could not call Whippor fool, but
he could call him knavo. lie then
IN an elaborate argument showed the
members that they had the right to
cXpungo any thing that did not be-
long to the proceedings of the House.

was supposed it was a case of accidental
drowning but subsequently the bodies OF
two infants aged respectively two years,

same place and the three were identified
as being Frederika Teehan and her two
children. Upon the inquest evidence was
adduced tending to show that the woman
