Hampton in Abbeville CHEAT MEETING OF CITIZENS. The Colored People in Thousands. Speeches by Macker? Jflctioivan, Thomson, Cothrao. The visit of Governor Hampton to j Abbeville was one of peculiar and pleas- j ant interest to our county. Svhiloj successful in every respect and to an eminent degree, it was nmrked by none of the pomp and circumstance that were ro conspicuous in the great "Hampton meetings" of '7G, nnd which made his recent reception at Anderson so brilliant. Rightly considering that THE CAMPAION* OK '78 IS NOT YET BEOUN and that Hampton is not yet out in the field as a candidate for re-election?although his r? -election is a foregone conclusion that makos a prediction of it superfluous?the democracy of Abbeville county determined to make the Governor's visit as unostentatious as possible, especially as such was understood to have been his desire. Consequently there was no military display, no torchlight pro'insawm no interminable column of red shirts as was beheld here two years ago. And yet the very quietness and absence of display made the occasion all the more impressive. The moot noteworthy and suggestive characteristic of the meeting of last Friday was not the greatness of the throng, remarkable though it was for its numbers, nor the wonderful attentivenes* with which the assemblago hung U]K)U the words of the speakers and of Hampton especially; but the extraordinary number of colored citizens, that attended and the evident delight and satisfaction they had in listening to the words of the "Governor of the whole people." So numerously was the colored element represented, a stranger would have found it hard to determine whether the meeting had been called by the whites or by the blanks. They certainly made up one* " 4 1 J I1U1I 01 mo Vlisi crowu mm tiuvu ui uic hot noonday sun and thronged eagerly around the speaker's stand hour after hour. With unwoarisible attention they hoard the speeches through to the close, and showed their comprehension and appreciation of them by the oft-repeated cheers they gave. Ordorlv and quiot, docile and trustful, they gave Hampton abundant proof last Friday that they have unbroken conlidence in him. It is notsayiug too much to affirm that if the olection of next Governor were to be left entirely in tho hands of tho colored voters, we believe Wado Hampton would , bo their choice. Having been at Anderson Court Houso roviewing the cavalry on Wednesday last, Governor H&inpton came to Abbeville on Thursday by the railroad, reaching our town at about noon. It had been under stood that he was to come by carriage along with General McGowan, and that it would be late in the afternoon before he could arrive. A telegram was received, however, in the forenoon by our Intendant, \V. H. Parker, Esq., Jo tho effect that in an hour or so tho Goverpor would be in Abbeville. When tho news came the town was quiotand undisturbed as a "doserted village," but in a wonderfully short space of tirno the public square was the 8PEICE or BCKTLXXO. The SjHrer Cornet Band was soon playing its old campaign tunes, and drawing out our .citizens white and black. Bqsy hands wore flinging banners to the breeze, and stretching lines of bunting across tho streets und square. Prcsantly the car whistle blew and the large coneourso ofj citizens taking the band with them flock-i ed to tire depot to meet the illustrious | guest:" W. H. Parker, Esq., T. C. Perrin, Esq., and R. H. Ward law, Esq., were appointed a committee of reception to greet the Governor in the name of tho people of Abbeville, and escort him to the carriage;' 'As soon as the train steamed into the depot, tho crowd raised a '' ' SHOUT OF WELCOME, the band played, and tho committee of i roception went into the Governor's car. Presently the intendant ro-appeured with J Hampton leahing on his arm, and hats wero waved and lusty cheers wore given as the Governor made his way through tho crowd. Accompanying him were .Tii^cta Mnfl'av Mmi MoUnwnn ?ihH Pol , "VMt ?VV.N/.. v.. Cothrnn. As Soon as the distinguished party were seated in the carriages, three hearty ehetfrs were given to "Hampton, tho Oorfernor of tho wholo people." At the JtLHton House a large company of Jadios had T?sem,l)Jed, and as the carriage passed, they thrdtv A BHOWF.lt OF FLOWERS in the Governor's way. Th<J rest of the day passed uneventfully. Governor jtlatapton was tho guest of Gen. McGoWan, ftndthe two old war horses spent the greater paft of Thursday quietly together. At night; however, tho citizens," procured th6-service of the band again &ntl gave tht Governor A SKKENADE, Aftor some exceedingly beautiful music, "Hampton, Hampton;" was the cry, and .when he appeared on the piazza a deafening shout raised. Accompanied by his host, Gen. McGowart, Governor Hampton caui6 to tho front of tile piazza and a?er the for.ner had introduced him in a low felicitous remarks, HAMPTON SAID, My friend's of Abbeville, I thank you heartily for the high compliment you pay me In-this serenade. As an expression of the kindiitws of feeling whioh you entertain towards me,", it- affords me poeuliar f?le;isuP0i I had not expected to appear n public to-night, and am not at all inclined to inflict a speech on you. Even if I were, the l'atiguo consequent on the wagnilicent Anderson meeting yesterday ( and the journey hither to-day would 'prevent me and protect you. It in always pleasant to me to como to Auteyille." I cannot and shall never forget the glorious things done in Abbeville jn the .campaign of 1876. In that year, which shpll ever l>e memorable in the annuls of South Carolina, when all the istate did well, no county in tho State did better than Abbeville. (Cheers.) And I am sure ahe will do well ageiu. Standing on the' same ptytforui and animated by tho same principles of equal justice, right, and truth, be assured we shall achieve a victory grander than tho one that crowned our efforts two years ago. [Applause.] It is my trust and belief that our people will act on the same line of duty again.. As was well said lu your County Convention two weeks ago, conservatism Is pure democracy; and. I tell you conservatism is </nly a condensation of the principles, of the platform upon .which j?e triumphed in 76, upon which A VW elected, and whose advocate , and .uph^WerJ have striven .to bo. [Cheers.] but 1. did not;,.<coi)fe out to-night to inake a sj)?wh, and certainly not a polit(IqbJ.apeeeh. I have, coiye to Abbeville' .$uiy as the Govtirnor, to meet the paopio. f v that pla'-ed ine in power?iu* a friend U sue friends, and not as a candidate to set voters. I came out to-night only t< thank you in tlir name of the ladies foi this pleasant serenade and for the dc lightful music which tho hand has dis Itonrsed to us. For my own part, I an fond of music, and 1 have emjoved tin j music the band has given us. My frieu< General McGowan is also very i>>ncl o : music. Ho proved his i'oudne.MT for i (luring the war in a very peculiar man ner. On one occasion, a band- came t< I his headquarter:* to serenade him. Hi listened attentively and with appreciate to several tunes' they playoci. At tf* close o! one of them, he asked the bam to do him the fiivor*>f playing his favor ite tune, "Annie Laurie." "My God General," replied the leader os the baild "we have just played Annie Laurie.' [Laughter.] As I said before, I am ver fond of music, although I fear I have n< J more knowledge of it than my friern J McGowan. I am somewhat like the mar j who said he knew only two tunes: on< I was Old Hundred aud tho other wasn't [Laughter.J I thank yon again, mr Abbevilli friends, for the honor vou have done m< bv giving this wrenacfe, and I thank th< gentlemen of the band for their delight ful mnsic. Governor Ilampton retired amid i storm of applause. Tbe band struck uj another tune, and at its closo a. BURT, esq., was loudly called for. Ho respond ed very happily in a brief speech. H< {said they had captured him, a thins thej had no right to do, because ho coilld no make a speech while they had tho Goner nor and General McGowan to addres; them. He expressed his thanks for th< compliment they h:id paid him, and saic he was grateful to the people of Abbevilli County for all the honors ihev had con ferred'on him during a lon^li'fe. He cou eluded by saying that so long as he had'( dollar of money in his pocket or a drop o blood in his veins, he was ready to spent and be spent for the sake of the country and Abbeville County. okn. mcoowak wa< the next speaker. He made a spirit ed address on the political sitnation, tak ing lessons from the past for our guidance in the future. Granting that it was o tremendous importance to achieve ? vie aory in '76, he maintained that it Was ifc important to be victorious in *78. I inof n? M-nnnrtnnt to keeD and Dejpe trato good government as it was to achieve it. And how could this good government l>e secured and made perpetual?. JBi adhering to the glorious principles fJUa actuated us in the last campaign?exao justice to all, high and low, rich anti poor black and white. His spoech was char acterized bv great eloquence and sound ness of judgment, and it elicited repeatei bursts of applause. Loud calls were then made for * < Jt'KOE MACKKY, but .as he was the gue?t of Col. Cothran the seronaders were disappointed in tbei expectations of hearing the versatile Judge. Alter the band had played sever al pieces, the company dispersed. Frida j' Morning. Friday morning dawned bright an< fair. Tho occasional showers of Wednesday and Thursday morning had cause< soino of those who always look on th gloomy side of things to predict ba< weather for the Hampton meeting. Th long-continued drought would no doub have rendered showers of rain peculiarly welcome to the farmers, and the magnani mous Governor would certainly not hav grudged then tho desired blessing.. Bu his proverbial good luck attended h'm ii Abbeville as elsewhero, and the wontho was balmy and pleasant as only a sprluj day can be. During the prolonged cam paign of '76 it was remarked by all tha good weather wont with Governor Hamp ton from the beginning to the end. No * " * 1 I?. one meeting 01 me many inai uo uuuiiud between the mountains and the sea wa ever disturbed by rain; so much so tlia tho expression "Campaign weather" wa coined and used, cxftcty as the loyal sub jects of Queen Victoria speak of "Queen' weather." It'would seem that the sam "campaign weather" is likely to atteni him again. At an aerlv hour, the roads leading I Abbeville began to send in their oontinu ous streams of citizens, on horseback aij< on foot, in carriages and in wagons. Th colored people came in such number that it recalled to mind the throngs o thom that used to come in to attend re publican meetings in the unhappy gone by. As a numerous company wa expected by railroad, tha business pro per of the meeting was not be^un unti after the arrival of the train. Meanwhit the Abboville Band, ever ready to furthe a good cause, took its stand at the Alstoi corner and delighted the expectant crowi with musical. At a little after olovw o'clock Governor Hampton was oscorte* to tho stand by Gooeral McGovran.

One of the most gratifying and encotir aging features of the meeting was thi verj' large attendance of the colored peo pie, and their close and respectful hear ing of the utterances of orators. Gover nor Hampton was exceedingly g rati tie* with this exhibition of confidence fron this part of our population. It is a hope ful sign of the future, and decidedly en couragmg to an already somewhat dis contented and apathetic Democracy. H'OOWAN INTRODUCES HAMPTON*. Gen McGowan as County Chairman in troduced Governor Hampton. He first described the political condi tion of affairs two years ago, and thi corruptions of the party which then governed us or rather misgoverned Uu State. Then he gave a graphic denerip tion of the campaign, which was wagfec to overthrow that corrupt govern man and replace it by one based.41 pan correc and honest principles. After having ii faithful colors depicted the change wliicl had been purchased by the inauguratioi of the reform Government, he said "wha a change has come over the spirit of ou; dreams! Wefeel<itin our bones. Th< sun seems to shine brighter.

It is of the last consequence j that you should send, not only from this - but from every county, yohr best and 1 purest men to the Legislature. You . shonid send men who represent the whole people. You ought to devoto yourselves to that worly, and sclect them without consultingythcm, and insist on i,heir going ami making somo sacrilices for the public good. If you tlnis put rolir best men in position you will see that prosperity, to which Gen. McGowan bas referred, coming to you. You will tee good will between the races, jind for thfi first tlmn since the w?r a condition of j things which will bo better than that of my Southern -State. If the Democratic party will adopt the same platform as that uf the last ejection, and will nominate conservative men, I venture tno prean.- i( tion that you will see but 0110 ticket in Lho Held?the Democratic ticket. And is L not that worth struggling for ? To avoid 11 bitter contest in the State; to show the ' people of the whole country and of the world that we in South Carolina, who havo been charged with fraud, intimidation und wrong-doing?that here, where it t is said in the prints of the North tlio col- . a red man baa been Tnrccd to vote with us -would it'not be the grandest triumph if the colored men throughout the State, recognizing that their rights are safe, ::orne forward and eav we are willing to , trust our destines, lives and property in vour hands? That is what I want to see t lone, and what I entreat the people of : Jarolina to do. The Governor next briefly reviewed the work of ' :he Legislature, say that it had hard work to do, , ind had worked hard. He callcd attention to the ' 'act that not one dollar of taxes has yet been f ;ollectedv Ihat sixty thousand dollar* of deflcien- J >ies lnft bV the' Kepublic^n' administration have * >een paid off; that thero are' one hundred and wenty thousand dollars yot remaining on hand; ' :hat the taxes have been reduced from eleven to ' ilx mills; the poll tax increased forty thousand ? lollars; a certain sum provided for school pur- I joses?and all thin has beeu done under Demo- s a-atic rule. ' ' t TheGovemor then repe ated his former expres- ] lions of a desire to return to private life; that his ] richest ambition has been satisfied in serving , kmth Carolina as bent he could, aud closed with i in eloquent invocation of blessings upon tho , State. . JUDOE MACKET .- 5 Col. Cothran introduced Judge Mackcy, tho J icxt speaker, who commenced by Haying that he < leld it to be eminently improper for any judge of ( :his State to make a political Hpeeeh nntil tho < aynpaign opened. [Cheers.] But that, he whoij passes from the altar of justice into the political rj ield in .South Caroliua ascends up to the high alar of civilization, and his 6rmine grown whiter in ! :ho dazzling sunlight'of a 'redeemed Common- ' wealth. - ?

If any considerable number desire to go he considers it the duty of the State to help them to get back to the homes of their fathers, after two hundred and forty yea$s of bondage.

W'itu thjri great change aud its results before us, for whicu'we have so much reason to be thankful I now say to white and black; let well enough alone?remain as you are. This is a free country, and overy one has aright to lus own opinions.

' Governor Hampton has been most hospitably autertamed durrng his stay in Abbeville at the ele- i ijant home of Gen. McGowan, the distinguished 1 ::hairmuu of the Abbeville Democracy, who has 1 never failed his country ill any emergency, and 1 ii'&s already entered into the campaign of 1878 i with an almost boyish enthusiasm and a stern | determination to wm this light or know Uie reason i why. The General has a remarkable inlluence | witn this people, who could not honor a better | man, nor one hi every way niori^worthy the sup[>ort of a high-toned, honorable and intelligent sonstituency. This evening a very handsome State dinner was served at the General's, and a more elegant spread has not beei< laid in Abbeville for many a day. Governor Hampton re- [ <ponded in quite an eloquent way to a.toast offer- jd him, and in response gave "South' Carolina." J i'he meeting of to-day is no indication or what the campaign will be. The campaign has hardly ( jpened yet, but when the Governor conios again ' lie will Und, in McGowan's classicphrase, "a regu- ( lar guilty-washer and chtink-lloater.". ! Leaving Abbeville Saturday morning to return to Columbia, the Governor experienced the same ieinoustratioua which had greeted him on the irat day. In consequence of a slight delay at Hodges, the good people of that town were alone favored with a ?j>eooli on the return trip. At this point the Governor was received by the Butler ilitlemen, (Capt.
