The people of Fairfiefd are at this 1late day discussing who mado Hamp 'ton- governor. We will give a few indidents ' of last year's campaign, vodched for by one who .was at the Democr'atic- headquarters'i ou bia,' day uEnd night, from the 6thi of October to the 27th of Decomber last. It is well known that W~ade Hampton was 'first nomnted for goveranor b'y Gen. M. C. Butler. At that time a great portion of the Democrats of South Carolina, like the "Citizens" to-.day, were in favor 'of taking up Chamberlain, because '"it was,ignpossible to elect a straight tout1Demorat for governor, and the "11,000 '.Radioatl ,majority in the Green campaiigh w~ould be increased 'to the ol'd1 Radicalamjoriy of 3,000 if straightparfry'ltnes -'vere draivn.' We all remember the difficulties the 'straightout party had to contend -'yith. <It was bemoaned and'drned in every oonceivable.manner. *.But it 'grew ,Jike 'the 'vnountn avalanche, 'and on the 15th di August, in the State Contetition, it crushed ont all Lopposit;ion, 'XIzAmpt6n'was inomina ted. This svas believed by many tc )be a weak nomination, and Hamiptor 'was' called a fire-eater and an aristo orati And by similar terms. But th< ileavon iwas working. Pr'ty linej 'weT'redmwni closer, until on the 7th 'of November-the fight was straight sont and de'aporate. The apprehende( -80,000 majority .melted awaiy 'to 'mino-rlty, and pooane of victory rani ~from everyiDemocratie throat. Souti -Carolina was 'rdeemed by the a traightouts And by hIampton ! Th< straightout -fight in iF"airfield re duced the Radie'al majoiyfr'om 154i in -'the 'Green-independent.noipart; eatmpaign,' to (V73, and smashe'd -thi RIadical party' into 'smithereens. Wlhe ivotes of 492,000 -citizens o South CaroiIna-on the 7thr ofl'Noverm ber made. Wade'Hampton governor Ohemberlain, however, backed b ganized a bogus House. Sixty-four i1 Democrats (one more than a quo- k rum) organized a Constitutional b House under $peakor Wallace. The b Supremp douitl OI the State. decided b that it was the legal H1oue, that the Ih oight niembors from Edgefiold and T Lam ens were as leghl lilelAbots - as 13 thoAe who hold certificates from ly Hayne. It docidd that Retiniinig o Board certificates were unnecessary, li because that board had nothing to do with Legislativo rotm:nw. In h addition to the Democratic members, C ,Reedifh, of Orangeburg, -Westborry, o of SAuintor, and Hatuaiilton and Mey- . ors, of.Peinifort, canio over, making sixty-eight memberg in all. Still Mackoy's mob held' the tato-oose, C protected by ChAib6rhiit'. a h stabulary, which in turn waro '.iro- n tooted by Federall bayonets. A S Federal judge 'had overridd6n the a law and arbitrarily released tho a Canvassivg Board, and:it was evident r, that Qrant wts.dofeF1tined to tram- L pIo upon the 'eonstituttion and all law, even the doeisions of the Sit plonio Court df thc 't_ate. Then o Mr. Abram S. Howitt, uf the Nation a al (jomimittee, went to seo Orant, to t endeavor to make him -ihow some evidence of decency in obeying the cOnstitution. After his interviw, he a tolographed to Governor Hampton y that, Grant had said lie did not so -IOW ie eunlkl recognizo any house that did 'nt have a quorumin of res turning board membetrs. 'his was . cansidered in 'olimbia o mean that lie would recognizo eithier thus constituteia. 'hveroibe, sim1ply to jlea.o Grant (for the Suireil Court had decided it entirely r iinnecessary' an (f'ort was. --ade to h got three additional returning ail board memb,-rs. At least a T domen wero bcset, and for a week it the city was in suspenso. The wild- ,a estirumors floatt.O.aro\in1 f fabulous -o sums being paid for converts. Then h the 11ep)ort spIeid that the WV'allace a members were to be --asassinat(d ii i f the State Houso. pct ti.Musand S people hurried down to the Fair, and ri frightened the Radicals half to I deali. 'During this time, Gibson w and Bird of Fairfield emno over. li Two dozon peoplo claimned-the credit w of bringing them over. alid they S :t'einselves don't always tell the b( -ame -story about it. Woll, they t< nade sixty-two mnembers. The r< fiissing link was still wanting. tl Efforts were redoubled. Most i strenuous oxertion was made, andl in qj a day or -two more, the saible visage 5l of Bridges4 of Nowherry gladdened tl 'the'eyos of .Democrats a-s lhe stpped b' up to Speaker Wallac's desk, took I the oath and became the sixty-third o returning board member of the hi -Legislature, and the seventy first hx legal mow'.ber, according to the do,- r, cision of the Supremno Court. Thr'oe P or four Mackoyites were in soak at 0 the same time, but as s'oon as Bridges gave in is n'dhekion no attention or anything elso was paid to themi, by the Demerats, i so they stuck wvhero they were. Trho enrolment of Bridges caused 0 the wildest excitement. It was thought that tho end had come, c that Grant would recognize the " SVallaco House as the SupremeCourtV had done long before, and that the a *Chambrlain bubble would burst. Governor Hampton telegraphed toC Mr. Hewitt -to -this effet :"Tell 'President Grant . have a Houseo complosed of 063 c'aivassing -boar'd members." Did Grant recognize Hampton ? Not much. On the contrary ho raved and swore, and borated'puor Mr. Howvitt, andl initi-'1 matedl that Govern or Hf mp toh 'tas imper'tinent, and gave people to uin - derstand generally that while ho ! couldn't recognize a H-louse that had 63 returning b)oar'd memibors ho ( would niot recognize that robolliotus 1 Wallaco H-ouse on any terms. SoI > the Democrats had their labor for their pains. The Senate also re-. fused to r.ocognize the Wallaceo ) House, anid the latter could do Snothing but cautOuis 'aUPl adjourmn. Then Bird and Gibson 'dcorted and rejoined the Mackeyites, the former f ,flaun'ting a card-in ,the UTnion-HIer. -tdnd that ihe'rehouned4 ttllrtlogiance ,tto the Wallate 'House. y The Demoo,rdts were ini a worse '. plight than over. Having utterly ied to propitiato Grant, they lew not where to turn. Hampton owever announced that ho had 3dn elected governtr, and he would governor, or 41o people should we Rugr'to rule over them. 14 ho Wallade 'hiiso ni6 without ird and Gibmin, who-had previous winged their Ilight to the abodes darkiidsa, Speaker'Wallaco lilb lied the vote, nnd Governor Atillptoll, 'having received "1tho ghost inumber of votos cast," ac )rding to the Constitution took the tth of offico aud began -his admin trationi. Chamberlain stifl held on,' backed SGraitO bayonets. T-ben JudYo arpenter dW6iod that Hamiteh td heen electod, but that he Wilas Jt dilly qualified, 'becallso te mnato had not attended the House a body. By his decision even a hole hundred and twenty-four turning I-ard -riomnbcrs of the ouso could do nothing towards A)lishilg the vote, becauso the ciato was ,)ot pivsOMnt. Oi the her hand, the-.6 upreen Um uj't and( 7 the other circuit judpes decided it Hampton was gTovernor be mse hie had roccuivi-l dhe most votes ld that piblishinlg tle retirnls was mero formality, ltheCrmlloro h.1at allace had a Itjlal Houso of HiXty3' ur Dmlocrats. without ncedinlg ly returniig boar-d 111em1berH. So atilptol wasi 'la1.I governor h the >tes of the peopl,- and declar1. oVCInor* by Spdkr Wlkee and y all the judges of the Sito excePt Arpentor. But HamptAon still wanlted uimlis<, lte(I possessionl. Ho still 'aid I I wold ho governor or light, ld the People baCked him up hici President Hayes was counted by Judge Jlradley ; and Grant lit fresh cigar and stupped down and it, leain a 'precious imuiddle for .I successor to clear up. Fortu ttely Mr. Hayes had some r-espoet r the Constitution of tho United tates. He r-esolved that he had no ght to i put troops in the -Stat' ouse, anild had no i ight to say who is governor either of Soith Cart-o ia or of Louisimia. All he'Vould do ould be to ,proscrv dTfho .peac. 1) lie sont for "1on. ). H h'n nrlai" anid "lIon Wade Hampton" I Com1o and soo him. He omitted to cogize ither as governor.

HaLyes ca.lled iln is .0 sait lhe could not' te;ognizoe any .me.

IHayes then ed(ered tile troops) to leave 'tboe tato Hfouse. There were still two :governors" in ~South Carolina as1 ir as he wias concerned. As for mat matter thero are twvo governors n~t; only one, thanks to the straight uts, lives in Nowv Yor'k. Mr. hammbelal~ issued an address, still Ainming to he govc.rnov, but said he ould not mnitatin his rights. Ho uautarily tLnrcw up 'the sponge, ad he, by tis act, nade Hlamiptoni ndisputed governor of South -arolina.
