PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President Hayes on last Monday COM
municated to both Houses Of Congress
his last annual message. 1t is quite
lengthy, and if it were not for the recon-
mendation of new crusade against the
South which it contains, would strike the
public as containing suggestions eml-
nently wise and national. The President
assumes that CONTINUED opposition to
the full and free enjoyment of the rights
of-citizenship, conferred upon the colored
people by the recent amendments to the
Constitution, still prevails in several OF
the late slaveholding states," and asks
Congress to pass firm and well. considered
measures to enforce the Fifteenth Amend
mcnt, which means that the Federal
Government shall control all Federal
elections in the Southern States. The
President further recommends the House
of Representatives and the Senate TO see
to it that every case of the violation OF
the letter or spirit of the Fifteenth Amend
ment is thoroughly investigated, and
that no benefit from such violation shall
accrue to any person or party, which
means that the next Congress shall ex-
clude such members of Congress ana
Senators as the Republicans may deem
expedient. The President further asks
Congress for sufficient appropriations TO
prosecute unsparingly all who have been
engaged in depriving citizens of the
rights guaranteed to them by the Consti-
tuition. Whatever may be the merits OF
the remainder of the Message, this por-
ton of it is dark spot which mars the
whole, and identifies the President with
the stalwarth element of his party, and
that instead of seeking at the close of his
administration to heal all sectional feel
ines, it is his desireto kindle afresh the
fires of sectional hate and animosity.

steps OF his residence OH Thanksgiving
morning. He was picked up uncon-
scious, and it was at first feared that he
had suffered serious injuries, but he is
recovering rapidly and hopes to resume
bis seat early in the session. The gallant
and genial old gentleman is heartily
liked and universally respected by both
parties, and much regret was expressed
among Republicans at his determination
to retire from Congress after serving out

was bill providing for the revision ana

a message from the House was received

so that they may get their names OIL the
payroll at once. Still no party would
think of forcing an extra session for such
a purpose, and there is now an excellent
prospect that the country may have q
long rest from Congress after the Senate
has confirmed President iartield's ap-
pointments next March.

policies-(this bill provides that the
Comptroller General shall be authorized
to examine into the financial conditlon OF
eyery insurance company seeking 70 90
business in South Carolina, and shall be
empowered to employ an expert Tor tho

bill to provide stock law for Marlboro
County.
Bill to afford relief to insolvent debtors
and bill to prevent the sale of seed cotton
in less quantity than $50 pounds were re-
ported upon unfavorably and placed on
the Calendar.
The principal measure acted upon on
the general orders was to provide for the
revision, digest and arrangement OF the
Statute laws Of South Carolina. The Dill,
as reported by the committee, provided
for three commissioners, at salary OF
So, 1000 each, to do the work.
A motion was made to amend by CIV
ing the work to one man, which elected
the first discussion in the House Of the
session, in which Mr.. Rucker, Of Ander-
soh, favored the amendment, not from
motives of economy, but because he be-
lieved that the work would be more effi-
GENTLY dono by one man than three.
There would he no delay in the work, as
committee of one would always be sit
ting.
A vote was taken, and the amendment
was lost.
Mr.. Murray moved to reduce the pay
of the commissioners from $4,000 to
$4,000 each.
The motion was opposed by somo Of
the members, who thought 5000 not too
much. The amendment was finally
passed by vote of II to 40. The Dill rs
amended then passed its second reading.

THE WHITE Is KING.
TUNE-MY GRANDFATHER's CLOCK.

| As composed and sung by William Gregg, Of
New Orleans, La.
NV Grandfather Howe, thirty-five years ago
Lay dreaming at midnight in bed,
Next morning he told to a wondering world
OF all that passed through his head.
And this was the song that he sung to his chums
AS they chucklingly formed in ring:
The Weeler & Wilson and Singer went in
And agreed to a very wicked thing.
CHORUS
Thirty years of monopoly, Ring, Ring, Ring!
Millions put in our treasury, Sing, Sing,
Sing!
But they stopped short, never to go again,
When the white" became king.
The next thing they did was our Congress to
brbe
The extension of patents renew,
Thus millions of money were wrung from the
poor
BY these tyrants, the privileged few.
But there came glad day when our wrongs
were made right,
Our nation as one man arose,
And said to Congress, our servants We are,
So down the monopoly goes.
CHoRUs-Thirty years, etc.
AS the day of our freedom has come to US now,
We're allowed all the patents to use,
So old Mr.. Singer just take back seat,
For all your bad points we refuse.
And now let us shout of perfect machine,
Self-threading and quiet and light;
So friends all unite in the chorus we sing,
As we tell of the beautiful white"

FIRE AT PITTsBURGH.-About

O'Clock last Thursday morning flames were
discovered issuing from the Enterprise Gun
Works of James Brown & Sons, on Wood street,
and before the flames could be checked the en-.
tire building was gutted. A large amount of
G. rtridges were stored on the third fl, ur,
which became ignited and kept up a continual
fusilade, rendering it dangerous for the firemen
to approach the building. Finding it useless
to attempt to save the structure (which in less
than forty-ive minutes from the time the
flames were discovered was in ruins,) attention
was directed to the valuable buildings adjacent
which were with difficulty saved from destruc-
ton, not. however, without be ng considerable
damaged from water The origin. of the fire is
not known. Brown d Sons have been partic-
ularly unfortunate, having been burned out
three times within twelve years, besides having
their gun works gutted by mob during the
memorable riots of 1877.
