THE CHARLESTON ELECTION PRO?
TEST.-After a twelve days, session
tho Council Board adopted tho fol?
lowing resolution, proposed by Al?
derman Marshall :
Resolved, That the Board do de?
claro the late eleetiou for Mayor aud
Aldermen illegal and void, and that
no persons have been duly elected to
the said offices of Mayor aud Alder?
men of the city of Charleston at
said election.
The following is the decision <>f
tho Board, which, on motion of Al?
derman Geddings, was signed by the
members agreeing thereto:
Tho eleetiou of a majority of thu
persons voted for at tho municipal
election of the City of Charleston,
held on thc second Tuesday of No?
vember, instant, in pusuauco ol' tho
Act of Assembly, entitled "An Act to
provide for tho election of officers of
tho incorporated cities and towns in
the ?State of South Carolina," ratified
on the twenty-fifth day of September,
A.D. ?5G8, having buen contested on
the part of sundry citizons and elec?
tors, and tho Managers of Elections
having been charged with illegal con?
duct, and the acting Board of Alder?
men having been duly convened, and
having proceeded, in accordance with
said Act, to examine the returus, to?
gether with the ballots, and to inves?
tigate the case, in order to declare
thc said election, and to make a de?
cision which shall be binding upon
all parties.
The said Board, having made such
examination and investigated the
case by taking the testimony of wit?
nesses, thereupon do find that the
Mauagers of Elections in tho regis?
tration of tho voters failed to require
tho oath to be taken and sub?
scribed, as required by law, and iu
their qualification and organization
as Managers, in the holding and con?
duct of said election, and in the
counting of tho votes and in making
the return of said election, did not
conform to tue requirements of the
law in sueh ease made and provided,
in essential particulars; that many
other irregularities and illegalities
occurred in thc conduct of said elec?
tion in essential particulars; and that
ballots exceeding tho majorities
claimed for a majority of the persons
voted for, have been destroyed and
cannot be produced for examination.
Wherefore the said Board do de?
clare that there has l>ecn no legal
valid election, and that no persons
have bceu tl ti ly elected to the offices
of Mayor and Aldermen of tho City
of Charleston at said election.

which drove her oui of hw course so
far to the Southward, thal she was
compelled to abandon the idea of

DELIVERED NOVEMBER 30, 18G8.
Fellow-Citizens of the Senate ami of the
House of Representatives:
In accordance with tho requisitions
of tho Constitution to loy before you
information of tho condition of tho
State, and recommend to your consi?
deration such measures us may bo
deemed necessary or expedient, I
shall proceed to perform that duty as
briefly as circumstances will permit,
postponing to a futuro opportunity
til? discussion of all questions not
directly connected with the adminis?
tration of tho Government. Thc in?
terval since your last sessidn has been
so brief, and the details connected
with tho organization of tho new
branches of public service have occu?
pied so much timo and attention, aa
to leave but little opportunity for the
consideration of matters of a more
general character, many of which
were fully discussed in my message
at tho special session.
Tho Act providing for tho assess?
ment and taxation of property has re?
ceived considerable attention, and tho
organization of the Auditor's Depart?
ment has progressed as rapidly as
circumstances would permit. Great
caro and caution have been necessary
in selecting tho officers to whom will
be entrusted tho execution of tho tax
law; but it is believed that thc ap?
pointments made, and to ho made,
will givo efficiency and success to this
important department of the Govern?
ment. I shall lay before you, at tho
earliest practicable period, tho com?
plete assessment of tho property of
tho State, which will afford thc ne?
cessary basis for taxation.
Thc estimate of tho Auditor for the
contingent fund may appear large,
but it should be remembered that tho
Assessor's books, blanks and other
