Senator.-But He Lies at lite Point or Death. As we go to press, at 1 P. M. Wednes day, we learn the terrible news that Gov. Hampton's leg was amputated, on Yes terday, Tuesday, and that he is now ly ing low, with very little chance for re covery. Chloroform was administered, and the leg taken oil'six inches below the knee. It is thought that if bc ea^J siyvivo for one week, he maj- recover; but otherwise South Carolina must pre pare to weep for her noblest and best be loved son. On Tuesday, tho loth, he was unani mously eleeted U._ST Senator, to succeed Patterson. J?o sent :i kiter to thc Legis lature which said that be was not a can didat?, but that the place was not to be sought nor declined. .? SOUTHERN SYSTEMS OLD AND NEW."

The Supreme Court of the .State decided hat the Pro!,,ite Court basho jurisdiction in the partition of real estate. The L?gis lature some years since conferred such jurisdiction on ibe Probate Court. This act of the Legislature, however, faits to the ground under the recent decision of the Supreme Court, because of its uncon stitutionality. The consequence of this decision will be that the partit,on of real estate will fall, as the Constitution re quires, in the Circuit Courts, and the ex peditious method of dividing estates at very light costs in the Probate Courts, will be supplanted by tedious liugalion in the Circuit Courts. This will work hard ship upon the di-yision of ali estates, par ticularly of small ones, as counsel have to be employed, fees paid and delays occur which promise to eat them up in costs. A ?iffefehcecof'opiniori exi-:s as td wheth er this decision annulsthe partitions made by the Probate Court fdr thc last ten years or not. "Thc Legislature cannot manly the matter sine-the error is fimdamcaud." Only an amendment :o tue CousLilution wdl accomplish it.

This was by no means palatable lo the martyrized Mackey, so he had iin grand jury discharged, and resorted to the device of ni;?l by inf rmat'on-Judge Bryan's decision that putties can ot tried only on indictment hy a grand jury being overruled by Bond.

In this Message In dwells at length on ihe frauds and intim idation practiced at the late elections in the South, especially designating iii Siuies of Louisiana and South Carolina, and de clares his intention io investigate and ptmi-h the guilty parlies. This is all right as far as it goes, for a number of those charged with the offences have been dis charged upon preliminary exa pina lion, and the intimidation, o? iv h i ?li so much has been alleged, wi.I be sin wn tu lie falsehoods, made by Radicals for Nm th orn consumption. Again, we hav< not heard of I be a1 lest of a single Radical by the Federal authorities for intimida!mg Democrats, when it is well known thal ,-olo- ed Democrat s were ostracise I, bo.it-n, md excluded from church membership becauso they voted against tho R-tdtoals. Colored Radicals voled without molesta ron or hindrance, while colored Democrats .vere denied tln.se rights. The President lohls that Congressional elections, in eve y district, are' jellly a mattet-ol political mportance throughout the whole count y, .nd while this is i rue, how much iuipor ant is the election of President by I he millions of voters of the whole counlry? and if fraud in the election of a member of Congress is a great' crime, wind is Un natur? of the crime that foisls upsn the forty millions of the inhabitants of the country a fraudulent President, who was defeated by half a million of voles? .Mr Hayes holds his office by one of the roost stupendous political frauds ever imposed on a people, and il ill becomes bim to lec ture on the subject until his own skirls are cleansed. When we contrast what .South Carolina is doing in the way of educating the child ren of the Stale willi what isdoin? in the same direction in Northern and Southern States, weean but lament that we a'.e co far behind. Take New Jersey, a small Stale, and sae what is being done to ad vance the educational cause.
