Governor Hampton Supreme I in Charleston. Judge Reed, by one broad decree, has established the peaceful rule of tl Governor Hampton in the Charleston q Circuit. The object of the case before lc him, and decided yesterday, was "to 1i "induce a recognition of one of the d "two persons claiming to be Governor, 01 "of the -State," and was, as Judge S Reed remarks, "the first case involving l "directly the question as to who is I "Governor that has arisen or been "argued in this Circuit." A clearly defined and well understood issue was d made. The arguments were elaborate P and complete. And, with very little s delay, Judge Reed renders a decision S which not only settles "local conflicting # to "claims to official recognition, and ti "leads to the harmonious workings of to "the judicial syetem," but is in itself, i1 and without- reference to its saving and healing virtues, a ecncise and t complete statement of the law of elec tions for Governor in South Carolina, R and a. logical and conclusive demon- c station that Wade Hampton was law- s 1ally qualified and is Governor of S the State. Juige Reed takes as the corner- t stone of his argument the Constitu- b tional provision that "the person hav- t "ing the highest number of votes a "shall be Governor." Upon this sure o foundation he safely builds. There I are provisions "directing how the P "result of the election shall be ascer- ( "tained and declared," but these are 11 "of form merely, not of substance." 1 For it has not been pretended, says c Judge Reed, that "a neglect of duty, c "or an improper or fraudulent dis- 3 "charge of the duty imposed on them, "by any of the officers through whose t "hands the ballots or returns have to t "pass, can vitiate the elections, and 9 "defeat either the expressed will of t '"the electors or the right of the per- I "son having the highest number of c "votes." The learned Judge need not I have gone any further than this, but i he was determined, it seems, to leave c no cranny or crevice unexplored. C The fact is indisputable that, ac cording to the statement of the County Canvassers, Wade Hampton received f "the highest number of votes" for t Governor. And, under the decision C of the Electoral Commission in the 1 Florida case. these statements "cannot "be gone behind." But these County statements had been delivered by the Secretary of State to E. W. M. Mac- t key, claiming to be Speaker of the House of Representatives. Sworn copies of these statements were ob- I tained, and this secondary evidence ofC the election of Wade Hampton isC decided by Judge Reed to be "suffi "cient, under the terms of the Consti. t "tution." The body which had been decided by the Supreme Court to be I "the legally constituted House .of. "Representatives," sent formal notice to the Senate that they woul.d, on the next day, proceed to open and publish the returns of the electlon for Gover- 5 nor; and the failure of the Senate to attend, in a body, did not affect the lawfulness of the action of the House and the lawfulness of the installation. The Senate, if not actually, "must bet "held to have been constructively "present ;" for "to enforce a right, or t "prevent a wrong, the law will, as to I "details and such matters of form, "presume that to have been donet "which ought to have been done." By i simply taking the oath of office, with out any ceremonial, Gen. Hampton, s having received the highest number of votes, would have been qualified toC act as Governor. But Judge Reed ] decides that he became Governor ac cording to the forms as well as in I substance, and that both the letter and spirit of the law were complied t with. Not only does he decide this, but] he decides, in acrordance with views already familiar to the public, that. Mr. Chamberlain, in suffering himself I te be installed for a new term, "dis "owned and abdicated" his former office, and cannot question his own deliberate act.-News and Courier. DEATH 0OF AN EXCELLENT YOUNG MAN.-Less than a year ago our friend Col. F. A. Conner, of Cokes bury, was called to mourn the loss of I a devoted wife whom he had idolized from early manhood, and now the hand of Providence again rests heavily upon him, in the removal by death, on Saturday evening, of his eldest son, Landon F. Conner. After an absencc of several years in the West. he re turned to the old homestead a few months ago, only to die of consump The deceased was thirty-two years old- At the age of seventeen he left the Cokesbury school, then taught by Robt. W. Boyd, Esq., and entered the arm~y, joining the Holcomb Legion, commanded by Col. P. F. Stephens. He was wounded in the thigh at the second battle of Manassas, and was 1 unable to walk for months, and in con seqjuence be was discharged from the army, when he entered the Arsenal Academy at Columbia under Col. Thomas. Here he had a b>omb proof i position, but as soon as he was able toi ride horseback, he left the Academy, and joined the cavalry under command of General Butler, and remained inI the field until the close of the war, <distinguishinog himself in the hard- i. ships of the camp as well as on the field of battle. He was of a genial e inature-high-toned, brave, hopeful a and generous, and many of his old ~ comrades will drop a tear at the in- a telligence of his untimely end. His d frankt and friendly manner, his floe address and genial presence. combined. to give him that personal magnetism which drew around him troops ~of friends and hosts of admirers.--Abbe rule Press & Banner, 21st inst. lampton and Chamberlain In vited to Washington. The results of the consideration by ie Cabinet of the South Carolina uestion have been the sending of a tter to Chamberlain and Hampton, viting them here in person, or by flegate, to confer with the President i the situation of affairs in that tate. The following is a copy of the tter : EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, March 23, 1877. SIR : I am instructed by the Presi ent to bring to your attention his urpose to take into immediate con deration the position of affairs in outh Carolina, with a view of de ;rmining the course which, under e constitution and laws of the Uni ;d States, it may be his duty to take i reference to the situation in that tate as he finds it upon succeeding ) the Presidency. It will give the 'resident great pleasure to confer rith you in person, if you shall find it nvenient to visit Washington, and ali concur with him in thinking ach a conference the readiest and est mode of Dlacing your views as to be political situation in your State efore him. He would greatly prefer his direct communication of opinion nd information to any other method f ascertaining your views upon the resent condition and immediate rospect of public interests in South ,arolina. If reasons of weight with ou should discourage this course, the resident will be glad to receive any ommunication from you in writing. r through any delegate possessing our confidence, that will convey to im your views of the impediments o the peaceful and orderly organiza ion of a single and undisputed State ;overnment in South Carolina, and of he best methods of removing them. t is the earnest desire of the Presi Lent to be able to put an end as speed ly as possible to all appearances of ntervention of the military authority f the United States in the political lerangements which affect the govern net and afflict the people of South ,arolina. In this desire, the Presi lent cannot doubt he truly represents he patriotic feelipg of the great body f.the people of the United States. It s impossible that protracted disorder n the domestic government of any state can or should ever fail -to be a natter of lively interest ad solicitude o the people of the whole country. n furtherance of the prompt and safe ~xecution of this general purpose, he vites a full communication of your pinion on the whole subject in such me of the proposed forms as may eem to you most useful. By direc ion of the President, I have address d to the Hon. Wade Hanmjton a du licate of this letter. I am, v ,ry respectfully, your obe lient servant, W. K. ROGERS, Private Secretary. ['o HoN. D. H. CHAMBERLAIN. How it Looks. WASHINGToN, March 21..-General d. C. Butler sent a dispatch from here o-night to Wade Hampton as follows: "Everything looks blue; there seems o be no hope for South Carolina. It ooks like another game of 8 to 7. Hampton answered: Shall I come o Washington ? Do you think I can lo anything by coming." To this Butler responded: "No; tay where you are. You can do no ;ood here, and you cannot tell what a Lay may bring forth in South Caro WASIIINGTON, March 24.-The fol owing special to the Baltimore ,Sun ~mbodies all that is known regarding he President's Southern policy: "The ?resident, with some warmth, said to prominent Republican Senator, who ~alled on him to-night, that the South 1ad misunderstood him; he had never aid he would withdraw the troops, Lnd had never authorized any one to ay so for him.

Fire in Greenville. Quite a destructive fire occurred in Greenville Saturday iorning about 1 o'clock. The brick range on Main and Coffee Streets was burned, with other houses. We bave seen no estimate of the loss but it must have been beavy. The fire is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. The Chief Justiceship. Many names have been men tioned in coniection with the po sition of Chief Justice. There are several men in the State wbc would fill the place with credit tc themselves and the State. WE don't like to express the idea that the State owes a man anything foi doing his duty, yet we would be glad to see the Legislature honoi Mr. Willard for the manly, patri otic stand he has taken in sustain ing the honor of the Supremc Court, and in upholding the Con stitution and ;he laws in the fac( of the most violent opposition Judge Willard is a fine lawyer, if no politician, and has that person a! dignity that makes him univer sally respected and admired. Rtotation in Office. Hayes evidently does not be lieve in this old Republican doe trinle. His idea, as set forth in bh Inaugural, and since followed ou1 in practice, is "that the public offi cer should be secure in his tenurt so long as his personal characte: remains untarnished and the per formance of his duties satisfacto ry." He is perfectly right whet he says that appointments to offic< should never be made for partisar servces ; but we believe, witia Gen. B. F. Butler, that civil ser. vice reform requires a complete change of office-holders every foui years. By this plan no set of of ficeholders can accumulate toc great an amount of political po we and patronage, which niakes the govern mient more like an oligarchy~ than a republic. Judge Reed's decision is the most signiflcant that has yet beer made. He owes his position t< Chamberlain. It will be remem bered that, when two years agC the Bench of the 1st Circuit wai to be filled, the negro Whippel was a~ prominent candidate, anc was undoubtedly tihe favorite o: the Radical Legislature. Reed had only lately declared himself l Republican, and his chances o: election seemed hopeless; bul Chamberlain, then Governor, went into the Legislative caucus, de nounced Whipper in emphatic lan guage, and ur'ged the election o Reed. This remarkable course o: the Governor, and only this, se cured to Reed' the seat. So Reed is indebted to Chamberlain per sonally for his place. But in thiu instance at least he laid aside th( character of partisan, and actec the part of judge in a manner thal does him credit. The Post Office. A few facts in regard to th< Post Office system may be inter esting. Thbere is only one ist grade post office in the State Charleston ; one 2d grade, Colum bia, and eight 3d grade, Aiken Beaufort, Camden, Greenville Newberry, Spartanburg, Sumter and York-there may have beer others added to this grade recent, ly. The grade depends upon the amount of business done. The post offices of the 1st, 2d and 3d grades are all filled by personal appointment of the President, the appointment being for four yeais, or during the pleasure of the Pres. idet. Tfhe salaries of the Post Masters are as follows : for the 1st grade, $3,000 a year ; 2d grade, $2,500 ; 3d grade, $1,200. T hey were muc hi.gh;er up to la July, Regulating Freight Charges on Railroads. This matter has created consid erable interest all over the coun try. The people, especially the merchants, who are. most con cerned, complain that railroad companies make disparaging dis criminations for some points and against others-that where there is only one road to a village or city, the road ta'es an unfair ad vantage of the circumstance to make exorbitant charges. The citizens of Union County, at a public meeting the 19th inst., drew up a memorial on the sub ject, to be presented to the Legis lature when it assembles. Similar action will probably be taken by other counties interested. New berry is deeply concerned, and should take some action at oce. This is no idle discussion, but a practical question, which the peo ple have in their power to solve satisfactorily to themselves. By a recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, the Legislature of a State has the power to regulate the freight on railroads. If our Legislature be memorialized it will no doubt take the matter in hand. There will be a meeting of the citizens of Newberry interested in the subject, in the Court House next Monday night, immediately after the adjournment of the Col lege meeting. As an illustration, we append the schedule of rates on the South Carolina, the Greenville & Colum bia, and the Spartanburg & Union Railroads, with a column of dis tances: O ? C o O H O ......08! .

The Central Association held an enthusiastic meeting at Clinton the 17th instant. Tbey will hold another meeting the first Satur day in August at the Court House, at which time Governor Hampton and General Bulter are invited to address the farmers of .Laurens ICounty. The farmers say that the Association has been a source of much good to them, and they seem determined not to let it go down. Editorial Review.

ROBERT RAIKES.-The Founder of the Ragged Schools of England was a poor cob ber, of London. lHe began by teaching a few ragged boys in his cobbler's stall.

THE HAYES PARTY-A HOUSE BUILI UPON THE SAND-THE RAINS DE SCENDING-AN ABSURD PROPOSI TION AS TO THE SPEAKERSHIP SOCIAL MATTERS-PERSONAL, ETC, WASHINGTON, D. C., March 21, 1877. The Hayes influence with this ad ministration is not asserting itsell prominently just now. Tbe vigoran success of the Executive does not coni up to the sounding promise of the manifesto. The king is not exactl; marching down the hill just yet, bu he quivers, as the Maine Justice o the Peace said, on the apex. He i waiting for indorsemeuts from Repub licans, from Democrats, from any in fluential body of citizens. He realize: that a half removal of troops fron South Carolina and Louisiana will no satisfy the South or the Democratii party, and that it will yet be consider ed an offence by a strong factio: among the Republicans. It ought t4 be plain to him by this time thac h can never get the party Fpport o either party. He has mortally offende< those who might have held the Re publicans up to the mark for awhile and the manner of his elevation wa such that Democrats can never cor dially endorse his administration. Meantime the condition of affair in Louisiana presses for adjustment The dispatches of last night show tha Packard is raising troops for servic in New Orleans. Nicholls has a well organized and well-armed police force and the whole white population behin him. Yester4ay the acting President as sured the Republicans that he mus not be hurried in dealing with th Southern question ; later in the da; he told Southern Democrats that th subject would come up before th Cabinet to day, and that thereafter i would be promptly disposed of. Senator Morton was with him for long time yesterday, and earnestly ai pealed to him "not to go back" on th Republican "governments in Sout1 Carolina and Louisiana."~ It is evident that Mr. Hayes ha not met the support he apticipated and that neither conservatives no radicals put full faith in him. Whe: opposition to members of his Cabine was shown by Republican leaders hi expressed surprise, and in the light ( later events it seems likely that h was surprised, though his surpris surprises everybody else. Coming here practically an ur known man, with a defective titlet the Presidency, and selecting a Cabi net which by no possibility could b harmon ions, he seems to have expecte difficulties and discords to vanisi ambition to be satisfied with bein ignored, and party enmity to ceas' He will probably learu very soon,i his present hesitation and equivoca tion do not show he is learning it al ready, how vain such expectation were. Your readers will have seen a pr< posal to elect Foster, Hayes' mai Speaker of the Hou3e of Represents tives. This it is supposed may b done by the aid of twenty Democrati votes, but that twenty will probably before they throw off party allegiance ask assurance that at least as man: Republicans shall go with them. A dispatch received as I close thi letter says that Packard has sworn i: two regiments, and that a conflicti imminent. Those army officers who havs beel examining the foundation of th Washington Monument, pronouncei strong enough to support the structure Congress having voted money for th purpose, the work will now go on t completion. Senator Morton thinks it will no be necessary for the Oregon committe to visit that State to investigate Sena tor Grover's election. The charges ( bribery are believed to be entirely un founded, and it is thought they neve woud have been heard of but for th Cronin matter. Ex-President Grant starts for th West this week. RENO. FoR THE HERALD. ATLANTA, GA.,.March 15, 1877. DEAR HERALD :-I wish to couve through your columns an idea of tb unanimity of the whites and blacks< this State. Everything here is peac and sunshine. The blacks are gettin along much better than they are i South Carolina. Those who work a croppers get one-half, and those wh work for wages get from 8120 to $13 per year. That at once shows the ad vatage of honest government, not onl to the whites as taxpayers, but als to the laboring class. I think if some of our colore "office-seekers" were to come to Geo~ gia and spend a few days, they woul be anxious to have Hampton for Gov .1.!.. friends. The white man and the negro here walk in the same path. There is not that animosity existing between them here that there is in South Carolina. Since I have been in the State I have found that there are very few day-laborers, the majority l%ing crop pers, and that all have plenty of corn and meat to run their crops. Now, F to see a negro in South Carolina with a bushel of corn of his own raising, on the 15th of March, would be as great a phenomenon as seeing a cow climb an apple - tree tail foremost. Many who read this way doubt the veracity f of it, but I have lived in South Caro 3 lina long enough to know that I have - not exaggerated in the least degree. A. B.
