The Senate Committee.

The Senate Committee devoted the
whole day to the Eliza Plnkston testi
mony. Some ten or twelve witness IS,
white and colored, testified to her nU-
toriously bad character, beng charged
with infanticide, and leaving another
child in the fence corner to die; also that
she had been discharged from two plan
tations because all the colored women
refused to stay unless she was sent away;
that she was notorious prostitute and
unworthy of belief.
Chairman Howe said he had long since
concluded nothing that Eliza said was to
be believed merely because she said so,
therefore, there WAS no use trying to
strengthen the opinion by such evidence.
Mr.. salisbury thought those charged
by her with participation in the assault
should be allowed the privilege to COL
tradlet the statements.
Mr.. Howe said they might, but she
being wounded and Henry killed were
facts not affected by her statement.
Several witnesses testified to Alex,
Brooks having threatened to kill Pink
ston last May, for beating him and Bit
ing his finger oft.
The Senate subcommittee went TO the
residence of Eliza Pinkston at noon TO
take her testimony, but found her labor
iig under such intense excitement that
the idea was abandoned tor the present.
The people with whom she lived said u
person had called there this morning and
excited her by saying that people from
Ouacbita were coming to testify numer.
ous things against her in regard to her
childreR

letter is as follows:
EXECUTIVE CHAMBER,
COLUMBIA, December %, 1876. I
HIS Ercelleney r. B. Hayes, Governor:
MY DEAR SIR:-I have the honor to
enclose copy of my inaugural as the
duly elected Governor of South Carolina
In view of current events and the official
sanction given to gross misrepresentation
of the acts and purposes of the majority
of the good people of South Carolina, |
deem it proper to declare that profound
peace prevails throughout this State; that
the course of Judicial proceedings is
obstructed by no eombln stions of citi-
zeRs thereof, and that the laws for the
protection of its inhabitants in all their
rights of person, property and citizen
ship, are being enforced in our courts.
While the people, of South Carolina are
not wanting, either IN the spirit or
means, to msiutsln their rights of citi-
zenshlp against the usurped power
which now defes the supreme
]uoiciai authority of the State,
they have such faith in the JUS
tlce OF their cause that they phbpose to
leave its vindication to the proper legal
tribunals,appealing at the same time to the
private and public sentiment of the whole
country. The infammatory uttersnces
OF portion OF the public press render it
perhaps not inopportune for me to state
that although the people of South Caro-.
lima view with grave concern the pre-
sent critical condition of affairs in our
country, which threatens to subject to an
extreme test the Republican system Of
government itself, it is their firm and
deliberate purpose to condemn any
solution of the political problems that in
wolves the exhibition OF armed force, or
move through any other channel than
the prescribed form of the Constitution
Or the peaceful agencies of tie law.
Trusting that solution may be had
which, while maintaining the peace Of
the county, shall do no violence to
the Constitution, the safeguard of popu-
lar rights, and will tend still more firmly
to unite the people OF all the states in an
earnest effort to preserve peace, to sus-
tain the laws and the Constitution, |
am, very respectfully, your oOedient
servant.
