tho&rst session were sood. though thoro were
many Mpdrances in tho way, and though a
great deal was left undono for tho subsequent
session.
On the 28th of November, 1877, tho Legis.
lature met again. The session, on account of
tho largo amount of work to bo done, was
necessarily a long one. The promises OF
reform Of public abuses and the exposure Of
tho frauds Of the Radical Government were
to DO carried into effect. No Legislature in
South Carolina ever had 80 many great aues-
tions to doal with. Tho Commission ap-
pointed to investigate tho bonded and floating
indebtedness of tho State made its report,
which was considered, aud way for its
settlement devised. Tho Committee on
Public Frauds also made its report which was
also considered and ordered published. The
usury law was re>onacted; tho criminal law
in respect to arson, burglary and rape
amended tho many offensive laws upon tho
statute books were ropealed; the limits of the
towns and villages in the low country were &c
contracted as to take them entirely out Of the
control Of Radicals, and tho debts of these
counties and towns were so adjusted as to
make them supportablc by The people. In
deed. tho whole government by tho hand Of
the Legislature has been royivilod and the
departments Of tho government have been so
reinvigoratcd that their functions are now
exercised in way that has not been known
in South Carolina for many years. With the
Democratic Governor and other State officers,
with Democratic Judges and the laws which
tho Legislature has put in force, thcre is
nothing to prevent our people from entering
at once upon career of prosperity hereto
foro unknown in tho State. Taxation is low
and is SO ordered to bc collected that our
people in paying in two instalments, in Juno
and October, will not feel it. The State tax
is 6! mills and tho special aud ordinary
county tax 81 mills, thus making tho whole
county and State tax for this year 10 mills.
This tax is as low rs our people can hopo to
have it under as an expensive form of govern.
mont rs We. now have. Under its sur
roundings the Legislature has dono wcll, and
If tho work is carried on as it has been begun,
our hard times will leave US and our pcoplo
yet take heart. Our people can never hope
to have cheap government under Consti-
tuition of the present form. In fow years,
after another election or twois passed, q State
Convention should DO called, and have tho
Constitution rcmodelcd. The present form of
government is too expensive ono for q poor
people.
