‘ihere uut Jif lc ihclination on tho part of

may be looted lor. The question of rapudia
tion of the Suite debt up fn a tangible
form to day, ns v/ill be seen above, but the
reference to th-: businet 8 ccumiiite of sixteen,
hlletif »and debat - ; -what the report of the com

il.ir convention and wi'l elicit more debate,
than all other questions put together.
l oo much praise connot be bestowed on the
Business Committee, of which Judge Jenkins is
the chairman for the untiring energy aDd pur
se vern;. * with which they discharge their
duties. M». st of the discussions upon all the
important measures of the Convention take
place in the committee room, and the result
of their deliberations is generally satisfactory
to it large mnj rii.y of the Conventiou, and the
singular unanimity with whichUhoir reports are
sustained tf:o biighest compliment that
can be paid to theii tfliJency. If the Conven
tion should have a short session, of which
there can be no doubt, it will be owing more
to tbe Business Committee, than to any other

I'Uu.M SOU 111 CAROLINA.
Governor Berry’s message was read in the
*; talc Legislature, October,26. Jle qays, though
his appointment was made several months
after tba! of toe other Provisional Governors,
South Carolina now is as far advanced In the
plan of reconstruction as any other State. By
restoring those who were In civil office at the
suspension civil government, he greatly
expedite 1 tho reconstruction. Thiß measure
v. as objected to by the military authorities,
but he was sustained by President Johnson
to whom will bo assigned in history the glory
of having reconstructed the broken and dis
mantled fragments of tbe Republic, without
marring its civic beauties.
lie alludes to the now constitution as popu
lar and democratic, inspiring the people with
more zeal and om rgy in developing the talent
and resources of the State, 110 recommends
fostering inter n and improvements, commerce
and manufactures, and tho encouragement of
foreign emigration. The State should not be
dependent, i heretofore, on tho Western
States for horses, mules cattle, hogs, bacon,
laid and beef, nor on the Northern States for
tuiniturc, agricultural implements and clothes.
They should raise, grow and make everything
themselves. Now that sluvery is abolished,
labor i.mado more honorable, as well as more
necessary. Voting men must become trades
men, manufactures, and mechanics Their
Northern friends must be invited to come
aptong them.
Immediate provision must be made for the
probative government of .the freedmen. This
it is expected will bo attended to by the Presi
dent and Congress, and such measures should
• bo adopted as to renfovo all pret< xt for milita
ry rule.
Tho electors for President and Vice Presi
dent of tbe United States should be chosen by
the people. An early day should be fixed for
tho election of members of Congress. Should
those members elected be iu Washington, with
their credentials when the clerk calls the roll,
they < annot be excluded any more than those
from Massachusetts. No man in South Caro
lina can take the test oath without perjury. It
is not the pulley of I lie President to enforce
this, and he believes it will not be the policy
of Congress.
An eiectkm. is necessary for two United
Stales Senators ; one tor six years from the 3d
of March last, and one from tho unexpired
term to March 1867. lie recommends tho is
suing o i otai.e bonds, selling them to pay the
ISCato debt, Fo’as to avoid the present taxation.
Tho reorganisation of the rniiitiu is urged, the
Secretary of State, at Washington, having giv
en assurances that ns soon as the State Govern
ment is organized, all the troops will bo with
drawn.
Ho recommouds tho re-establishment of tbe
South Carolina College on the universal sys
tem, and the reopening of the Citadel Acade
my Schools for cadets. Ho opposes any act
looking to a repudiation of tho State debt,
lie recommends an exchange of public docu
ments with ai! the sister States. He says he
has been info- i6d by the Postmaster General
that tbe mailt ill be carried overall the rail
roads as soon the department is assured of
tbe responsibility of the ageuts. In conclu
sion, he asked them to look only to the future
and not to the past.
A message to the Legislature from Governor
Perry, October 27, a report to

of labor and for the protection and govern
ment of the colored people of the State
There were ordered to be printed, and will

mittee to collect, under oath, all evidence of
unwarrantable seizures ol cotton and other
private property since the war, to bo laid be-
Joro the President of the United States.
The loth of November was fixed for the

Gen. Howard, Commissioner of treedmen’s
atlairs, October 18tli, iu an address explanatory
of the objects ot the freed men’s' bureau, and
his present visit to the South, delivered in the
presence of Mayor Macbeth, Common* Council
and citizens of Charleston, made some 'an
nouncements ot importance. The General
spoke of the hostile feeling towards the bureau
iu Charleston, and tiio.Mayor acknowledged it
and said he had no hopes lor the country un
til c ivil law was completly restored. The Gen
eral said that was the clamor of politicians,
but he had generally found the planters fa
vorable to the continuance of the bureau’s su
perintendence of affairs. He, himself, as well
ns tho President, wished that civil law should
bo again untramelled. But the negroes having
lost the protection of their masters need some
guarantee for tho safety of their interests, and
uutil tho State allowed freedmen to testify in
her Courts, he was free to say the bureau would
continue. The President, he stated, would be
very clear of surrendering the State to civil
law until a stop was put to outrages on the
blacks. The General gnve*encouraging replies
to those planters who are seeking the restora
tion of their property, and said that he hoped
to sec wholesome laws guaranteeing tbe rights
of freedmen passed by legislation, and the
present difficulties between the two races set
tled. He aim ouced his purpose of establish
ing courts to consist of an airny officer and t wo
citiaens to take cognizance, for the present, of
complaints by or against tho colored people.
Gen. Howard subsequently addressed the ne
groes along the coast, and then took his de
parture for the State capilol to confer with
Gov. Perry.
General Bennett, commanding District of
Charleston, has issued an order directing the
military to surrender to the civil tribunals,
where tho officers of tbe latter are duly quali
fied, the adjudication of all legal matters ex
cepting such as relate to the property in pos
session ot the uatiunal Government aDd in
whien negroes are interested.

elected, assembled iu extra session, October
25th.
Browxlow’s Sdkcial Message.—Got. Rrown
low has sent a special messsge-to the Tennes
see Legislature, recommending that the rail
roads be not forced t*» pay the interest on the
debt due tLem from the State and to their
creditors at this time ; that they have not the
money wherewith to pay, and that most of the
roads will pass into the hands of receivers
unless the State provides some means to p»y
the interest due upcu endorsed bonds. If the
{State sutlers those roads to be sold, they,
would he purchased by a combination of
speculate*s from abroad, who will manage
them for their own buuetit, without any re
gard for honest and public spirited people who
built them. They would seli for less than half
their own value, and Anally leave the State, to
pay the bonds, of a larger part of them, which
result is ihe most that can happen to the State,
D the roads are in the hands ot the companies.
Gin- Howard's Addshs is Savannah - G.-n
llowar.’ the head of the Preedmen’s Bureau
delivered an address iu .Savannah, on Thursday
evening. We find the annexed substances of
his remarks in the Savannah Heiuld .
Tbe General commenced by saying that he
has been assigned to the responsible position
he occupied by the President, to superintend
the- development anil execution of the policy
adopted by the Federal Government with
reference to the Freedmen, and to relieve, as
far as practicable, the Shock that must neces
sarily follow the sudden emancipation ol the
slaves, which comprehend in its range tbe
management cf thjs abandoned land*, the
education, aa far as practicable, of the colored
children, and the relief of those whose actual
necessities demand it of the Government.
With regard to the question of labor, he in
fonmd them that the Government had set them
free forever, but it had not stopped work.
Formerly they did not receive the earnings of
their labor, these were now secured to them.
Heretofore they had families from whom they
wero often separated, this vould never be
again. He urged them to provide for their
families, not only to feed and clothe them but
to educate them. As many of them was re
fusing to make labor contracts lor tho ensuing
year under the vague notion that the Govern
ment would do something tor them, ho earn
estly desired them to disabuse tbe’r minis in
this particular, also sand lmnce tbe necessity
for their maktog contracts with tho owners of
the lands and stick to them in good faith.
When the contract waß made they were to
understand that the employer was entitled to
all their labor, and lor which they should he
paid fair and liberal wages
He notified them that the military would, In
all probability, soon be removed, and that
they must then look to the white residents tor
counsel and protection, until laws w re passed
securing them the full enjoyment of all their
rights as freemen He assured them that be
did not believe that the great mass of the
Southern people were unfriendly to them, but
that they were prepared to trust them, kindly
.and honestly if the colored people would meet
them half way. He did not believe that tho
whites had the least desire to oppress them,
and he urged them to et ry in tbe neighborhood
where they were, and to show by their good
conduct, and habits o? industry that they were
worthy of their freedom. He advised them
strenuously not to resort to the cities, as they
could not support themselves there, and would
suffer for the necessary comforts of life.
With regard to tho abandoned lands of
Georgia, ho remarked that thi Government
had determined to restore them to their
owners, as they were pardoned by the Exequ
tive of the nation. That it would bo unjust in
the Government to confiscate these lands
lying generally on the coast, when the people
of the interior, who had been equally rebel
lious, wero not treated In like manner. That,
equality in tho dispensation of justice should
be observed throughout the South, without re
ference to locality or color, when there were no
lpgal impediments in the way. If they wSnted
land they must go to work in good earnest,,
Bave money, snd make required purchases in a'
regular way He knew ot a colored man who
had, by his own honest industry, accumulated
$15,000 in the last four years.
Alluding to the subject of education, he
assured them that much had betn done, and
much more would be accomplished by both
Northern and Southern Committees for the
education of colored children, and that they
must be ambitious to do all in their power in
the same direction—that iu order to enjoy tho
blessings of freedom and make good citiams
they must be improved by education.
Touching the matter of relief in various
ways heretofore granted by the
he stated emphatically that he had been in
structed by the War Department to grant re
lief in future to such only as ware entirely un
able to help themselves. All others must, pro
vide for themselves bv action and fhrittv labor
Gbn. Howard and tub Freedmen. —General
Howard, the head of the Freedmeu’s Bureau,
lately addressed the colored people at Wil
mington. According to a report in the papers of
that city he urged upon to be virtuous, truth
ful and industrious, mindful of the oblig tions
of the marriage contract, and polite to their
former masters as well as to each other. They
were intormed that their freedom was ac
knowledged by the State Conventiou nqwiu ses
sion, and that it remained with them to prove
whether they wore worthy to enjoy this great
boon.
The General did not touch on the sufFrage
question, hut advised, as the best course to
arrive at political equality, a life of labor,
striving at the samo time to educate and en
lighten themselves and their children: that
education alone would fit them to enjoy these
privileges,
He then spolio of the objects of tho Bureau,
of which he was Chief ; that it was not intend
ed to support them in idleness, but that it was
established to assist them in transition from
slavery to freedom,' and that those who
wore purposely idle, relying upon the assist
tanoe of tho Bureau would be awfully dis
appointed.
'lho General also spoke of the great impor
tance of harmony and good feeling existing be
tween the races, and remarked that when this
was effected tho Bureau would be abolished. ”
The Fenian Movement in Canada.— Letter
writers from Canada state that the members
of the Provisional Government and their sup
porters in Canada are in a 6tate of great ag
itation in regard to the Fenian movement.
Fenian organizations had beeu known to exist
thero for years, but has occasioned but little
concern until the occurrence of recent events.
The government have, it is said, organized and
distributed throughout the province, a force of
spies.
Great activity is reported to prevail in mili
tary affairs, changes in the disposition of
troops being made, garrisons strengthened in
regions where Irish predominate, Investigation
ot the loyalty of officers and soldiers boing in
stituted, and arms being distributed for the
use cf citizens known to oppose Kenian designs.
The custom author ities are nervous over the
recent large Importation of ammunition,
which is believed will ultimately find its way
into the bauds of the Fenians.
It is thought by many of the prominent
Canadian officials that the present movement
iu Ireland is merely a ruse, and the grand de
sign, when England has thrown troops into
Ireland the troops of tho order in this country
shall seise Canada, declare it an independent
State and place it under the protection of the
United States
An Elastic Railroad Wheel.—Among the
curiosities of the Exhibition at Faneuil Hall,
Boston, is an elastic raiiroad wheel. The
necessity for a wheel of this character has long
been felt, but only one endeavor in this direc
tion has been sncesaful. It is the invention of
Mr. G. S. Griggs, who for thirty years has been
the Master Mechanic of the Boston & Provi
dence Railroad Company. The invention con
sists in interposing between tho wheel and the
tire, blocks ot seasoned oak or hickory, and
so effectual is this method found to be, that
the tires may be put on without heating, and
will run twice as long without repair as the
ordinary kind. The wear and tear of the
rails also is correspondingly less ; in short,
the principle Is analogous to the cartilages in
the human system. These wheels have been
used on all the locomotives of the Boston &
Providence Railroad, and so far they have per
formed double the set vice usually obtained
from tires of the same manufacture. They
are also used on thirty other railroads with
like success. The London Engineer has men
tioned this as superior in all respects:
and we can hardly err in calling the attention
of all railroad men to the subject.
