Hayes and Hampton. Interview with .Tadge MaskeY. In an iutertiew with Judge Mac key at Cincinnati, Ohio, by a report er, of the Enquirer. Judge Mackey, said of affairs in South Carolina: It is a struggle there between the hite civilization of the nineteenth century and the barbarism of Africa, augmented by the villainy of the car pet-baggers: The people of the North have hardly the faintest idea of the desperate struggle that the decent people of South Carolina, without re gard to party, made to shake off the reiger-of Chamberlain and his thieving crew. To effect this object they were willing to sink even the success of the national Democratic ticket. Indeed, so far was this idea carried that last September Judge Mackey advised the Democrats to withdraw their electoral ticket and concentrate their efforts on Hitipton. The Democrats disregard ed the advice. Judge Mackey also mapped out the course that Grant would pursue in the matter, and pre dicted that unless his advice was taken Federal soldiers would patrol the cor ridors of the State House in Columbia. "Our cup of misery was full when Corporal O'Flnherty, of Company K, 18th United States Infantry, at the door of the State House, reviewed the decision of our Supreme Court." "What was the direct object of your visit to Governor Hayes ?" said the reporter. The Judge paced the floor a mo .qent or two in reflection, and then said: That Governor Hayes, who may have to decide as President of the United States questions vitally affect ing the iQterests of South Carolina, in view of the conflicting governments a,ere established, might know the sit nation from a Republican who had supported him with great ardor, and had: addressed in his advocacy over ep hundred Democratic meetings in the late canvass in South Carolina. Governor Hayes received me very kindly, he continued, and expressed the warmest interest in our condition .in South Carolina. He also expressed warm admiration for the character and course. of Governor Hampton, and trusted that he would maintain his 'ce.ul attitude until the question as to which is the lawful government was authoritatively decided,which he ioped spuld bdone in a peaceful manner. Me.stated that it was highly gratify ing to him~ to perceive in the.speeches of Ge'neral Hampton in the recent can -vass most positive and explicit pledges that -no attempt tobridge any of the legal rights of colored citizens of the 7$tate .should ever be made with his san'etion, but that if elected he would be the Governor of the whole people. Governor Hryes also felt gratified *at liaving read General Hampton's * speech at Darlington, in October last, ~where he declares that while he should cast his- individual vote for Tilden as a citizen illustrious for his civic vir tues and in his judgment pre-eminent ly fitted for the chief magistracy of .this great republic, he cheerfully ac corded to Governor Hayes all of the -capacity and patriotic worth attributed to himn by his most ardent supporters. Governor Hayes also stated that it --drould be improper for him to express *any opinion as to which is the lawful government in South Carolina.. Judge Mackey then informed Gov. Hayes that he had been carefully ad mionished by Governor Hampton, at parting with him at Columbia, S. C., to make no remark which should bear the interpretation of any proposition lookir'g to his (Hampton's) advocacy of the policy of declaring Governor Hayes to be el.ected President of the United States or of exacting of GQy ernor H ayes any pledges to be fulfilled in that event. Judge Mackey also said that it would be au act of high disrepect to make any such sugges tions, but he told Governor Hayes * hat Governor Hampton had frequent ly said that should Governor Hayes be seated in the Presidential chair he was willing to trust the cause of South Carolina to his just judgment and sense of .public duty upon the evi *dence. Governor Hayes obsorved that bie was not surprised at the liberal political views expressed by Hampton in his canvass, for he knew him to be in advance of other Southern leaders since the war upon the vital political issue of maintaining the right of citi-* -zen conferred upon the colored man by the fifteenth amendment. He said that he had occasion to refer to Hamp ton's advanced views on the subject in a speech which he (Hayes) deliver ed at Lebanon, Ohio. Governor Hayes gave it as his opin ion that there would be no armed con - fiict, whether he or Mr. Tilden was declared President of the United *States. He thought that all sugges tion looking to the determination of the P.residential issue by the sword would encounter the emphatic con demnation of the thinking men and leaders of both political parties. The GIovernor expressed his surprise that he should have been represented in many Southern papers during the canvass as being especially hostile to the people of the South, and as hav ing advocated a harsh policy toward them since the wvar, and in proof of the contrary he instanced an ztract from a letter written by him from Charlestown, West Virginia, i nJuly of 1864, while there with his com mand. Judge Mackey. at the close of his interview with Governor Hayes, as sured him that his visit to Ohio would enable him to inform his fel low-citizens of South Carolina of his race that his advent to the Presidency would bring no calamity to themi, and that if he became President he would 1--dl ntreat. adg l ulei them.1 xhich Governor Hayes smiled his as ,ent. Judge Mackey asserts that. as t Republican, he knows that Hamp on and his associates are ready to mubmit their cause to the judgments )f the brave men to whom they sur rendered at Appowattox Court House wrhatever may be their political faith. When I presented Governor Hamp- g ton's letter to Governor Hayes, said Judge Mackey, he expressed his high gratification at the respectful consid eration which it indicated an the part Df Governor Hampton, (the letter con tained the inaugural address,) and es pecially commended the tone of the letter as timely, in view of the bel ligerent utterances of some^Democratic leaders of the North. Governor Hayes stated that he recognized in Governor Hampton a most potent leader in the Southern belt of States, in his relation to that element of the population re cently arrayed in arms against the government, and said his influence in favor of peace would have weight in both sections. Governor Hayes thought that a lamentable state of affairs had existed in South Carolina, but was satisfied that Governor Hampton's past course' would insure a peaceful solution of the difficulties. The Governor said that he had been subjected to gross misrepresenta tion, recently, by the partisan press, and during the canvass, in relation to I his views with regard to the States of the South; that her was represented as manifesting extreme political malig nity, and that there was nothing in his record to warrant such harsh judg ment. He said that if, in the order of events, he should be called upon to act upon these questions, the best efforts of his head and heart would be directed to their just solution. South Carolina's Memorial. General Gordon, United States Sen ator from Georgia, who took an active part in tha campaign in this State, presented in the Senate, Friday, De cember 29, a memorial to the Congress of the United States, signed by Gover nor Wade Hampton, Lieutenant-Gov ernor W. D. Simpson, W. H. Wallace, Speaker of the House, and seventy eight Senators and Representatives of the General Assembly of South Caro lina. No action was taken then as the Senate was without a quorum. The memorial, which is a carefully pre pared and exhaustive document, suc cinctly reviews the course of the cam paign in the State, and gives a clear statement of the condition of affairs since the election of November 7th. It is claimed that at the general elec-I tion tien held the metnorialists were1 duly elected to the offices which they now respectively hold; that the elec tion was quiet and peaceful, and that no intimidation was practiced. The Constitution prescribed the manner of 1 counting the vote, but nothwithstand ing such provision making each IHouse the judge of the election returns and of the qualifications of its mem bers, the Board of State Canvassers, three of whom were candidates for re-election, considered the returns of the election of members of the Gen eral Assembly, and asserted a right to hear all questions of protest and con test that should be brought before them. This Board did so illegally consider the returns, and'-by throwing out the votes of certain precincts and counties, proceeded to declare the results of the election. The memorial further shows1 the action taken in contesting this un warranted conduct of the Board by an appeal to the StateSupreme Court, and< the result of that appeal, when each member of the Board was found guilty of eontemnpt and fined and im prisned by order of the Court. The1 wanton outrage upon the State of t South Carolina, and its highest court of judicature by the interposition of] Judge Bond, of the United States Cir cuit Court is alluded to arnd charac erized as an offence of so high, grave and serious a nature in itself, and so pernicious in its consequences as to < bring the law and the courts into contempt.4 The exclusion of-the members of the House of Representatives from the State House, and the subsequent action of those members thus excluded, is shown, and the result of the vote fori Governor and Lieutenant-Governor as obtained from the Clerks of the differ ent Courts of the different Counties, whereby the mnemorialists, WVade Hampton and W. D. Simpson, were shown to be duly elected to the posi tions of Governor and Lieutenant Governor, and were duly installed as such on the 14th of December, 18'76. The memorialists further show that said.Wade Hampton is prevented from I taking peaceable possession of the ex ecutive chamber, of the great seal, and all other things appertaining to the office of Governor, by armed troops of the United States, under command of Brevet Brigadier-General Thomas H. ~ Ruger, commanding in South Caroli na, who have taken armed possession of the State H-ouse and its approaches, and excluded therefrom the said Gov ernor and Lieutenant-Governor and t House of Representatives. t Wherefore, the petitioners, unable I to assert their rights in the premises o by peaceable means, and recognizng g the supremacy of the Constitution and Laws of the United States, and relying r upon the right and duty of Congress t to guarantee to this State a Republican I For~m of government, wherein the con- ] stituted civil authorities of the State shall not be suppressed by the military, respectfully apply to your honorable bodies to cause a cessation of the un warranted interference of thie military p authorities and the United States s, troops in the affairs of this State, anda for such action as will relieve themn S- ' I P - fl rite Her ld THOS.

The conviction is constantly gaiui ;round that the law in regard to fid iaries is defective. If a man wisi as property after his death to be car or by a particular person he appoi in executor of his will. Then t ieirs have no positive security I :heir share. If the executor chooi ;o live extravagantly and waste t )roperty, or to speculate with it a se it, the poor heirs are left wi 1othing. True, no one is compel] :o appoint an executor ; but friet hip and confidence often overcome thoughts of prudence. If it be a we, ess for a man thus to risk his p perty, the law ought to provide agaii his weakness. All persons who act in a fiducia apacity, executors and trustees esj ially, should be required by law give bond for the faithful performar f their duties. If they intend to i ;quarely they will not object to th nd if they do not it will be a che apon them. As the law now star oo much latitude is given to hum redality and human frailty.
