cept that the last assembly had charged two special commissions with the duty of examin- ing and reporting, one on insurance adminis- trHtion generally, and the other on the insur. ance laws of the state, and that recommen- dation by me in advance of the reports of these commissions would have seemed prenatul e. l should, in my annual message have advised a purging of of the stock interest from all the mutual life companies of the state first, by prohibiting all further issue of stock policies by mixed companies; and, second, by requiring the earliest winding-up of existing stock risks by reinsurance or otherwise, and an ultimate withdrawal of the entire stock interest or, if this should be thought too radical, then the ad- mission of all policy-holder into the member ship of the corporation, with a major right in the direction, as they have in every case ma ior interest in the assets. It is now too late in the session, perhaps to take this subject in hand keep myself, therefore to the precise point at issue, and advise the~rejection of the bill; or, what is still better, it's continuance to the next assembly, with Order in the meantime for a thorough and radical investigation of the facts necessary to proper judgment on it's merits, and particularly an inquiry
 l. As to the amount and date of capital act ually paid in by the stockholders.
 ?. The amount of dividends or profits here tOfore declared, whether in cash on stock notes, or in any otherwise, and the rate of prof. it's thus received on the amount of capital actu- ally paid in.
 5. The amount of credits carried from the mutual to the stock side from the beginning, the details of such credits, and the apportion- ments made detween them; and the number and amount of policies transferred from the mutual to the stock department of the compa- ny.
 Let Us blow into the surplus of $738, 321, and see what the subsoil is made of.
 This done, the next assembly will be able to pass on the merits of this bill intelligently, and perhaps to apply a little of wholesome and sav- ing surgery to the whole system of mixed con- panies, of which this corporation is the most conspicuous, and, so far as stock profits are concerned, the most prosperous representative.
 1 intend no personal reflection on the stock holders of this institution, nor on it's chief man. ager, who is one of the most prudent, skillful and successful life underwriters of the country. I speak of things not men. I criticise the former, and carefully abstain from personal judgment on the latter.
 Entertaining such decided convictions in re- gardto the impolicy and mischievous tendency of this bill and believing it to be in the inter- est of a few, and to the prejudice of multi titude of men and women who out of their penury, are striving to make provision for their surviving children and dependents II have felt obliged respectfully to return the bill to your honorable body for reconsideration.

To the House of Representatives
 return to the house in which it orieina,ed the bill entitled An act relating to the Specific appropriations for all expenditures made by the state"
 am anxious to subordinate, in case of diff. ference, my own personal views of measures passed by the assembly to the differing and presumably wiser views of your honorable body. After no inconsiderable reflection. how eyer, have come to the conclusion that the bill herewith returned can result in no substantial benefit to the state, but, on the contrary, must prove an embarrassment
 It is intended to subject the. administration of the state government in its various depart- Eaeass and agencies tothe complicated machih- cry of Congress for the regulation of expenses of the national government The system, though not without some evils, as has been made manifest of lase in many instances, and most recently in the case of an Indian war con dacied by the war department without the funds necessary to pay it's soldiers in the field, IS nevertheless not without some conspicuous merits as applicable to a great government, ShAch expends hundreds of millions of dollars

FAMILY ESTATES IN THIS CoUNTRY.-The Boston Traveller remarks Several years ago Edward Everett, in przslic address, remarked that wealth in this country could not descend to the third generation. Ii is singular that the most prominent example of the falsity of thls theory should be found in the families with which Mir. Everett was connected by marriage the Adams and the Brooks. The will of the late Sidney Brooks is an illustration Notwith. standing the laws of entail and dprimogeniture are are not in vogue in the United States, the ten.

 generations, will be one of the wealthiest in the dountry, and will prove that wealth accumulat- i'd by the founder of a family can be held through as many generations as in England. "

Capital.

One of the ablest speeches delivered
at the sitting of the present Legislature
was that of Gen. John D. Kennedy
upon the repeal of the Bond Court. We
happened in Columbia about that time,
and the eloqueuce and sound reasoning
of this distinguished gentleman was
grand. He held the House for forty
five minutes so still that pin could
have been heard to fall; and his sound
logic, his clear elueidatiou of all of the
questions involved, we're so indisputable
that it passed through the House as
pleasantly and easily as fried oysters
would have done at II o'clock p. m. He
is a worker, . student and superb
sneaker. We thank him for it, and his
wisdom has been shown by the recent
decision Of the Bond Court. General
Kennedy is a wheel-horse wherever he
is, and with it all, is gentleman Of the
highest type.

The Bond Courts Decision.

The Court of Claims, popularity known
as "ths Bond Court" consisting Of
three Circuit Judges, announced its dc.
cision on the the 18th inst, upon ques-
tions submitted to it in relation to pcr-
ton of tho South Carolina consolidated
bonds, coupons and certificates Of stock
issued under the act OF 1873, known as
the Consolidation Act. The opinion
holds that the vouchers upon which said
consolidated bonds and stock were issued,
as specified in the conclusions reached
by the Court, amounting to about ST.
100000 of said bonds and stock, were
not issued in accordance with law and
authorized to be consolidated under the
act of 1873, and that the consolidated
bonds and stocks exchanged for said
vouchers, so far as they rest thereon for
their validity, are not binding obliga-
ton upon the State of South Carolina.
The opinion is pronounced by Judge
Thomson, Judge Aldrich concurring
Judge Hudson delivered dissenting
opinion. holding that every consolidated
hond issued under the act of December
23d, 1873, known as ths Consolidation
Act, is valid obligation upon the State
of South Carolina.
The opinions cover some fifty or sixty
pages of foolscap, closely written. The
case will be carried, on appeal, to the
Supreme Court in the interest of the

The Old Year.

The year is about closing, and as the
new one comes We can look back upon
the EAST aad sec what its results have
been. As a country, we have been
blessed with peace. Nowhere has the
blood of our countrymen been spilled,
or our flag insu!ted, save by few oc-
casional opslanghts upon the frontier.
Pestileuce has stalked with relentless
fury, and the homes of large portion
Of our land are now draped in MOURN
inc. Political acrimony runs high, and
the surgins waves of blood that angrlly
rolled SO high during the late war seem
hard to calm. The harvest, as gene>
raj thing, has been abundant, and our
corners bear heavily the fruits of the
earth. The winter thus. far has been
mild, and much of the suffering that
would have taken place on account of
the terrible fnancia! pressure is thereby
alleviated. Universal business depres-
sion has prevailed, and total lack Of
confidence pervades all commercial cir
cles; prices have come to hard pan, and
the irresistible fact forces itself upon all
that economy and work alone can give
success. Upon the whole, there is much
TO be thankful for. Our own State has
baeu clear of disease, and although she
mourns to-day the temporary loss of her
great loader, yet in politics she glories
iu the resurrection of her own govern
ment undisturbcd. No military tyrant
waves his crest over her bosom, and the
future gives no ugly threateDiDgs of an
approaching storm. Though trouble
and actual want pervades to a great ex-
tent her whole society, yet the lessons OF
the past should be as warnings for the
future. and with renewed energy
much can be done for recuperation.
Let US then. as the old year goes by, try
and remember its errors, and build up
for the new life of hope and prosperity.
