Judging from the violenut opposition a similar cniactment provoked in En"gland a few years ago, it might be surmised that thes( Sucker Statt politicians are c"breedling seabs." Hayes Sceks a Conference with Governor Hampton.. President Hayes has addressed a duplicate letter to Governor lanip ton and to Chamberlain, requesting each oi them to confer with him in Washington upon the condition oJ affairs here. Chamberlain, it is maid is anxious to accept the invitation, whether as a more piece of toalyisnm or as a fitting excuse for fleeing the State, is not known. Tih Ex-Cover nor naturally turns toWashington,as the sunflower turns to its God. le has turned thither often before. He knows what it is to draw inspira tion from the fountain head of Radi calism and to (3teor his political craft by the north star. The national capital is just now a more congenial place for creatures of his ilk than Columbia. So that an aceep ance of Hayes' invitation by him is very probable. 3ut whether Governor Hampton will dleeml it adlvisabhle to visit Wash ington at this juncture is inivolved in uncertainty. Strong reaisons ex it both for, and against, this course, and the matter nmust rest will thie Governor himismlf, who has mn'nfested sinigulair saigac ity and wisdom in all the trying' crises of the past six months. If tihe lettar fronm Hayes la anl assumpi11tionl, on his part to act as supremue arbiter in ow State affairs, his initerference shouild be epmined with dis~dain. Long ago it was asserted thant the Cover nor of Massnehmusetts was a gre:aci mnu than the President of the Uni ted Statte : and so far ais purely state po ics tiocorned1, riovernoi kionipton, who holds hils title through the gift of the people of u Sovereign State, is supreme inl 1sat: Carolina. Possessinig this title, an;] the p~owerC to enforcee it. 1he hais n oI the least initenmtion of subil ing il to a stranger for approval o'r rejee t ion. Neilbher has he anmythling (< comlpromise. Thoi eiiet of th< b.allt-h. ox is irrevocale. If, h)owever, [as has beeni asseried President Ilayes mierev ly desres ; friendly 'oinfvjienCe to tiscertali whether, if Fedo-at interfereneo ended, Governor Hlampton has thi will aind tho power to protect Re publicans, then, as a mere act 0 courtesy, GAove nor' Hmnpton nm' dleemi it consistent with the dignit' of his office to confer with thm President, to give him persons guaranteoe of peaco. But, shoul11 lie visit Washington, he will ox pressly iotify President Hiaye that~as Governor of South Carolina he recognizes no supeior, and wvil not brooliany interforence or arbi tration. gto holds the state in trus for the people, and this is the oni course he. ill, or ought to, pursu( It is wvell to atate once,- mnore, th. position of tii6 joplo of th~is $tatc (novernor Jnumntou havin .eei the higinstrmM11e dNfveo east E November, is Governor of South Carolina. H:id the speaker of the House failed to declare the vote, lie would still, havo |been Governor. This'lecltatioitiws a poin jn - Iis favor, only as an evidencO of the recognition of his title by the legisli tive brincli of government.'" iatd the com-(* been-so vrnal-mTodi-SSEi6 in the face of )Awv' agilist liitn,. Rlie would still have been Governor. Their decisions are valuablo as being a recognition of his office by . the judicial arm of government. Had the people refused to pay 1his, tax, he would still have been governor. Their prompt responsO was iupor tant as an evidence that they inten ded to ,support him in his position. The vote in Novomber n'de' hiin governar do jsure. 'The various .ects' of roeognition by the Iegislatur'd tio courts and Uhe people, imade hini Giovernor de ,facto. lie now 'com bines both titles, without being com polled to hav, recourse to any ex t.ranoisi or adventitiouis sources for further c on tirmation. His claim is aibsolutely per feet, without stain or flaw. As the Staito however, is a coin ponent part of the Union, it would be well, in order to maintain friend-. ly intercourse with the rest of the nation, to receivo recognition by the' States, either through their local governmenits, or through the ad ministration at W'ashngton.. A recognition from Presideit Hayosiis simply a matter of convenienceo;not of, necessity. Hampton would still be Governor, de jure and de facto, in any event, and should the people st and firmly together, all the at tempted interference at Washing ton would be powerless to foist the pietender, Chanmberlain, into the Executive ciair. . Truatworthy reports frcin Washington however all agree the question there is not whether Hampton is governor, but whether lie will protect Republicans from murder and maltreatment. To settle this, Governor Hampton is invited to Washington. lie must decide whether to accept the invita tion. South Carolina News.
