C.t January !>, 1S7T Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel: A friend lias this moment brought IW my attention a communication In your paper o( the lllth instant under the signature of "A Tildcn Democrat," upon the subject of the late canvass in South Carolina. Our court Is now in session, ami 1have littto time at my command; but as reference is made to me by name, it. seems proper t lint I should make a short statement. J shall not, In this hurried way, attempt to do more than refer lo the matter which concerns myself. Other gentlemen can speak for themselves. I was one of the electors at large for the State or South Carolina on the Democratic ticket, and as such, in association Willi others, had in charge specially the interests of Tildcn and Hendricks. It was not only my duty to support their election and promote it in every honorable way, but I did it con mnorc. Having a strong opinion of the great importance of their election. I supported them earnestly as a matter of principle and patriotism. The design of your correspondent seems to be?at least it will be the etlectof his communication?to make it appear that South Carolina, under the leadership of General Hampton as a candidate for Governor gave toTllden and Hendricks a lukewarm support in the late election. Among other things lie says: "Though the scheme (i. e. to withdraw the electoral ticket) failed, the spirit which inspired it survived, and made ilsclf felt during the campaign and at the election. It is not too much to say that the State was lost to Tilden and the National Democracy through the policy pursued by Gen. Hampton * * * * Tildcn and Hendricks seemed entirely forgotten, and the whole fight was made against Chamberlain." Tills seems to reflect upon, or at least to Ignore altogether, the electors. TUB STKl'GUI.E TO IlEDKEM TJIK STATE NOT INCONSISTENT. Gen. Hampton, with the other gentlemen on the State ticket, and the electors, canvassed the suite together, and spoke at the same appointments made by the State Executive Committee. I heard and believe it is true, that a proposition was made during the canvass by certain Republican leaders in the state to sunnort Hampton against Chamber lain if the former would have the Democratic electoral ticket withdrawn. Such a proposition, however, I had not heard of untlJ In our progress we had rcoched AbbevJilo, where Judge Cooke, believed to be oneof the Republican leaders referred to. made his first speech for Hampton. At that place the matter was brought to our attention and was talked about, butthepropositlon was not entertained for one moment. On that occasion a good ileal wassald In a free conversation about .the Importance and prospects of our success both in the State and in the Federal elections. With a colored majority of nearly 30,(WO In the State, It was well known that the contest would be a desperate one. The administration of the State government had been so Infamous, and touched the people so closely, und allotted them so disastrously, that reform In the State seemed to be considered paramount Id Importance. The appearances all indicated that the leaders of the National Democratic party had little or no hope from i>ur State, and wc would have to fight It out tiy ourselves. Jt was suggested that possibly they might consider tho active campaign which wc were obliged to make in this State is calculated to damage them in other States. Vet, in the absence of Information on that subject, it was concluded that the struggle for the State government was not inconsistent with an effort to aid in the larger struggle to redeem the general government; and that nothing should induce even the consideration if the proposed withdrawal, unless the Executive Ccmmltteeof the National Democratic l>arty should request it. two elections on the same plane. The eirort to reaeein me sinic numu uuuuv less have been made if no Presidential elecLlon had been pending; butas it was not "an aft" year," and as there was an election for President, it was not perceived howtwoelecllons?running in the same plane of reform? louid materially conflict Willi each other: Indeed, some of us thought and slill think, that the most certain and effective way to jorrect the evils of the State 'government, is to secure the triumph of the National Demo* ratic party, and a change of rulers at Washington; that the redemption of the State jovernment cannot be complete without that triumph and that consequent change. For these and other pood reasons the proposition to change the programme at the Instance of tlie Republican leaders was not entertained. On the contrary, w? adhered to jur platform and original resolul'.m?to make :ommon cause and light tot! ''..ir dgainst corruption and for reform, botli -e State and :lie general governments. So . .. as I know lie Republican leaders referred to did not reicw their proposition. Judge Cooke soon after abandoned Hayes, and both lie and Judge Uackey, as 1 am informed, voted not only for Hampton, but.also lor Tildcn. I1AMIT0N DKSIKK1) THE KI.KCTIOX OF TII.DKN ANI?: HKXDItlCKS. The citmpaign went on as before. General Hampton being a candidate for Governor routined himself in his speecheschletly tothe Slate polities. I believe he considered the lection of I he State ticket as more important o tiie State than the election of the National ieket, lint I know lie desired the election of jolli. The consultation at Abbeville, which ,vas not generally known, iiad 110 effect whatever in chilling the enthusiasm for Tildcn and Hendricks. The electors continued to spenk it the appointments made for Hampton and he Suite ticket, and carried on the tight fori t'iUlon and Hendrick* with alt tlie power and | rigor they possessed up lo the very <iay <>i mc leetion. Indeed, they did not cense their efbrts then, but. believing they nad carried the >tnte fairly, they cast the electoral vote /or I'llden una Hendricks and sent it to Washingon, In oider, if possible, t<? reap the fruits >f their labors, they have continued the struggle up to the present hour. They polled !U,000 rotes for Tildfen, of which 12,000 or 18,00) were I sist by colored men ; and in doing m> they I erfornied what friends ns well as opponents 'onsldered maii impossibility. Contrary to I he expectations of all, they carried the .State, ir catne within a few votes of dolus: so. It Is tot believed that the people of any State in he Union were more enthusiastic, worked under or more(wllllngly made sacrifices for ilr. Tilden than the white people of South 'arollna. In proof of this, reference is made o the following , INWSPCTAHI.K STATEMENTS. 1st. Tne white people of the Stato were "sold for Tihlen." It is not believed that 200 naive whites, excluding olllce-holders, voted igainst nlm. 2d. Many of the colored people voted for "llden. In diU'erentparuof the State "Tilden 'olored Clubs," with red shirts, banners, and Midges, were common. :>d. With a large colored majority, the conest on our part was considered by our oppolentsas foolhardy. Vet so gallant was the Ight that it is now admitted by all that we same within a few votes of carrying?If we lid not actually carry?the State forTllden, 4th. Some Republicans, mostly negroes, voed for Hampton and Hayes, but not a large mmber. Except In rare instances, the vote vas?Tilden for President; Hampton for C?ov rnor. In the whole State the vote forTllden vas not two thousand less than that for iampton. 5th. In the white belt consisting of the up>er counties, the vote for Tilden was identl ml with that of Hampton, nicy ran pan ww, and iu some counties Tllden led by ft ew votes. Even under the "pcnce and prosperity" polcy, all the white people voted for fildcn and lendrlcks, and it is most confidently believed hat the large colored vote polled for them vas secured alone by that wise and just polcy which was strictly in accordance with dr. Tilden's letter of acceptance. A MKKK HANDFUL OK VOTES. We think these facts prove the sincerity, food faith and activity of thel emocjatlc elecors for the Stale of South Carollnu In the late anvass, and thatTllden and Hendricks were lot "deserted." Under these circumstances it is mortifying o fail if that must be the result. It is more nortifylng to tail by a mere handful of votes -less than five hundred?but it Is still more nortstfying, because it Is unjust, to he told hat the State gave a lukewarm support toMr. I'ilden and was lost to the National Democracy by the bad "policy" of one who was not an ilector, but a candidate for Governor. Yours Respectfully, S. McGOWAN. HAMPTON AND TILDEN. V Conclusive Answer to the Charge j that it was in Contemplation toi Withdraw the Tilden Electors in 1876?South Carolina's Anxiciy iu Promote the Democratic Prospects. [Newt and Courier, January 18. 1877.J The following letter, written to Mr. Muntnn Marble b.v Gen. Hampton, after the Abbeville conference, when it hud been proposed that the Tilden Electoral ticket in this State should be withdrawn, Is published by Col. Haskell as part of the reply to "A Tilden Democrat Waliiai.la, September 19, 1876. My Dear Sir: There are some matters pertaining U> the contest In this State upon which it is very important that the views of Mr. Tilden and his special friends should be known to us. I hope that you will communicate with me,and speak with the .same frankness I shall use with you. Our executive committee seems to apprehend that our friends at the North are embarrassed by our alliance with them. Of course this apprehension places our party here In xn awkward position, if these apprehensions are well founded, how can we rellcveour friends at the North of their embarrassment? iiefore our convention met. I wrote fully to Mr. Tilden, telling him what would probably be Its action, and asking his advice, so that we could promote the interests of the Democratic party. He lid not reply to my letter, and 1 was forced by irresistible public opinion to uccept the nomination for Governor. 1 have made the canvass thoroughly conservatlve.Hiid It has been a perfect success so far. Willi aid fromubroad t heStatc can be carried for Tilden. There is no doubt ul its heing cameii mi uui nuwc nvm..,.... ..... opponents woukl gladly agree to let us elect our men if we withdraw from the Presidential contest, of course we are most anxious to aid In the general election, but you can understand our solicitude to find oat how we cull best do this. Jf iiur alliance in aloud, we. will unhxid. It our friends desire us to carry the con test ns begun, we ahull do So. if you will give me your views on these points 1 shall be indebted to you. The enclosed extracts will show you the line I take In the canvass. Write to Columbia, car* of Col, A. C. Haskell. With ray good wishes, I am, very truly yours. Watt Hampton. To M anton M a it ii i.k, Esq. The reply of Mr. Marble by telegram to Col. Ilaskell is as follows; skptemiieii, 20, 1870. It Is agreed here thut your friend's persistence and his present cllorts and plans arc wise and advantageous. MANTON MARIlLfc. I On yesterday. Gen. Samuel McGowan received an election to the ofllcc of Associate .Justice, on the supreme Jiench. He will dc himself credit and honor the State. Hut few men in the State are entitled to be more hon ored by the people than Associate Just let McGowan, and in honoring him she honor* herself.?Judge Cvukc In Gnenvi'le Mountainnr. Serenade to Jiid^c McGowan. Judge Mcliowan enmo homo on Saturday ' night for the Christinas rcccss. As this was his first appearance in Abbeville since his J election to the Supreme Bench, his fellow^ I townsmen, unfailing in their desire to do him i honor and proud of ihe distinction conferred 011 him, serenaded him on Monday night. They went in a body to his house taking with them the Abbeville Band. Although the night was showery and unpromising, a large crowd waited on the Judge. After some delightful music by the band, Judge McGowan was loudly called for. On appearing In the piazza, he was greeted with cheers. He spoke a8 follows. My Friend*:?I thank you for this courtesy on this dripping uigl.t I feel ih.it It is sinceiej nd cordial, but 1 cannot make a speech. My leelings would not allow me to do so if it were proper/ but,perhaps. It would not be proper. I have been elected a Judge and with his gown a Judge should put on gravity and Judicial deportment. Lord Bacon somewhere says that "an oversneaking judge is no well-tuned cymbal." The judge is set apart lor Justice and should uotjosI tie In the dust and licat of the chariot course of ' ? 1 IIIC. lie SUOUIU UUl IHIllJjlU III fill unuu pnu.u ?he should know no man* race, color or condition. but hold Ihe settles with uu even handand administer exuet and equal Justice though the heavens fall. Still I shall never cease to sympathize with the political struggle of my feLow Ciii/.ens. My heart shall always beat in unison with theirs, hut unless something extraordinary should happen 1 have made my lu6t speech at the bar, preaching redemption to thee iptlve, or on the hustings, seeking to save or reform the .state. In that rega:d Othello's occupation is gone. but 1 can still say a word to you as my neighbors. It Is with the deepest feeling that I sever the old lies which for more than a quarter of a century have bound me to these good people. ISorn In Laurens, Ju^t across the Saluda, as souti as I left college in 18il, I eame to Abbeville an obscure, penniless boy?a stianger In a strange land. I remember well that on the evening of the last day of 18-11,1 took th? hock at Waterloo in Laurens. I was the- only passenger, It was a long, cold, dreary ride, but there was still life in me when I landed at Posey's Hotel Just as the clock struck twelveringing out the old year and ringing in the new? "A new foot was on the floor, my friends, a new face at the door." From that day to this?thirly-seven eventful years, coveting periods f prosperity and adversity, peace and war, this has been my home. Here I found and here lost many dear friends. Here my family have grown up. Here we have sorrowed together and rejoiced together; and during the whole of that checkered period I I have never asked anything of this people which tliey illil not grant. Knowing nil my fault#, my outgoing** and incomlngH, they have under all circumstances sustuiued me with a generous confidence and an unfaltering support. Many of these old ties now cease?not all of them I am glad to say, but I will still cherish my-nelghbors and friends. I would rather have their confidence and aliection than uny otllce in the State. In this heart of hearts, until It grows oold, they shall be remembered. The bridegroom may forget the bride Was made his wedded wife yestreen : The monarch may lorget the crown That on his head an hour has been; The mother may forget the child That, smiles sae sweetly on her knee, But I'll remember thee. Glenculrn, And a' that thou hast done for mc I" THE SUPTFOR-1880. The Knx will deal with the events or the year 18S0 in Its own fashion, now pretty well understood by everybody. From January I un til December 81 it will be conducted as a news paper, written In the English language, and printed for the people. As a newspaper The SuN-belleves in getting all the news of the world promptly, and presenting it in the mast intelligible shape?the shape that will enable it? readers to keep well abreast of the age with the least unprodKctive expenditure of time. The greatest interest to the greatest number?that is, the law control ling its dally make-up. It now has a clrcula tlon very much larger than that of any other American newspaper, and enjoys an income which It i< at all times prepared tospend liber ally for the benefit of Its readers. People of all conditions of life and all ways of thinking buy and read The sun ; and they all derive satlsf.ic tlon of some sort from its columns, for they keep on buying and reading it. T.-. <to nninuinniu r>n tnun nn.l AfTVllrs.TlIK SUN believes that the only guide of policy should be common sense. Inspired by genuine Atuerl can principles aucl bucked by honesty of rur pose. For this reason it Is and will con'lnue to be, absolutely Independent of party, class, clique, organization, or interest. It is for all, but of none. It will continue to praise what Is good and reprooate what lb evil, taking care that its language is to the point and plain, be yond the possibility of being misunderstood It is uninfluenced by motives that do not an. "pear on the surface; it has no opinions to sell save those which might be had oyany purcbas or with two cents. It hutes Injustice and ras, entity eveu more than It hates unnecessary words. It abhors frauds.pitlesfools,and deplrfres nincompoops of every species. It will continue throughout the year 1*80 to chastise the first class, instruct the second, and discountenance the third. All honest men, with honest convictions, whether sound or mistaken are Its friends. And The Sun makes no bones of telling the truth to its friends and about Its friends whenever occasion arises for plain speaking. These arc the principles upon whichThkSun will be conducted during the year lo come. The year lWiO will be one in which no patriotic American can afl'ord to close his eyes to public affairs. It is impossible to exaggerate the importance of the political events which it has in store, or the necessity of resolute vigilance on t he part of cvf ry citizen Who desires to preserve tne Government thut the foumlerB gave us. The debates and acts of Congress, the ut terances of the press, the exciting contests or the Republican and Democratic parties, now nearly equal In strength throughout the country. the varying drift of public sentiment, will all hear directly and effectively upon the twenty-fourth Presidential election, to be held In November.F..ur years ago next November, the will of the nation, as exp rosed at the polls was thwarted by ttn abominable conspiracy' the promoters and bentflclarles of which silll hold the otllces they stole. Will the crimo of 1S76 be repeated In 1SS0? The past decade of years opened with a corrupt, extravagant, and lmolent Administration intrenched at Washington. Thk Sun did something toward dislodging the gang and breaking iUt power. The same men are now intriguing to restore their leader and themselves to piaces from which they were driven by the Indignation of the people. Will they succeed ? The coming year will bring the answers to these momentous questions. Thk sun will be on hand to chronlclc the facts as they are developed, and to exhibit thern clearly and fearlessly In their relations to expediency and right. Thus, with a habit of philosphlcal good humor in looking at the minor affairs of life, and In great things a steadfast purpose to maintain the rights of t he people and the principles of the Cons.ltution against all aggressors, Thk Sun Is prepared to write a truthful, Instructive and at the same time entertu ning history of 18.S0. Our rates ofsubscrlptlon remain unchanged. For the Dally Sun, a four-psjred sheet of twenty-eightcolumns, the price by mall, post-paid, is 55 cents a month, or 86.50 a year,- or, including the Sunday paper, an eight-page sheet of fifty-six columns, the price is05 centa a mouth, or S7.70 a year, postage paid. iri.nu?.wln.t tifTHESllM Is also ftlT nished separately ut S1.20 a year, postage paid.
