Cham berlain has not receivid a thousand dollars and would inevitably have to suecumb, even ifhe had the recognition of the Chief Magistrate of the United States. Tho whole question is, as we have all the time contended, with the p)00p)1, and the government recogniz ed and supported by thomn can not be overthrown or Bet aside by any other authority. Many of the colored citi zons who opposed Governor HIampton. in The'clootion now recognize his gov ernment and axo supporting it hearti ly, 'whihe the white citizens, as a mass, arc determined not to recognize or support any other.

All our pcoplo have to do is to stand firm and united, and right and justice will triumph in the end. The question of who is Governs. or, we. contend, does not belong to Mr'."Elages to decide. It i's a question with the people of the State, and tiyalone are the proper parties to make th'e decision. The highest ju dichdltribunal in thoState has decided the Wallace House, as it Is termed, the logal and constitut.ional House of Repre-sentatives, and it, we can confi-. dentlally assert, will never recognize Chaniborlain, lie can never have a tax bill passed, and will eventually starve out, pack his carpet-bag and leave the State ,and Hampton will be in full possession of the state.

Corv*BiA, Feb. 20.-Aarrange mento have been it progress here for several weeks to celebrate Washing ton's birthday on a grander scale than ever before or since the war. The idea was to h&Ve Ia grand pirade of the militia companies and tho various s6cletleties, with other appropriate demonstrations and celebrations. For several days rumors have been pre, vailing that the parade would be stopped, but no ono entertained any serious idea of any such action being taken by the President of the United States. This evening, however, the following was received by Captain Hugh Thompson, the Captain of tfe senior militia company in this State: POST 'O COLUMBIA, Columbia, S. C., Fob. 20, 1877. Capt. Thompson: Dear Sir: 1 have the honor to 'holify you that I bave boon this day directed by the Honor able Secretary. of War to inform you that His Excellency the President of the United States dirots me to notify you that the members of,the so-calle' riflo clube who, under his proclama tion of tho 17th of October last, were instructed to disband, not to make any public demonstration or parade on the 22d instant, as is said to be contemplated, and it is hoped that you will give a cheerful obedience to this order, and notify the members of your club or company in order to provent a parade of any kind taking place. ly orders require me to see that no suoh parade takes place. I am sir, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, 11. M. BLACK, Lt. Col. 18th Infantry, Cowm'dg Post The news very soon spread over the city. Few persons seemed in. clined to believe it, it being regarded as a hoax, until inquiry at hoadquart ors clicited a confirmation. It was generally received with derisive ro marks on the potty malice which in sp)ired the order. Some proposals to colebra:to Washington's birthday by burning Grant in effigy wore made, but found but little support, the gen eral opinion seeming to be, that it would be taking too much notice of that individual, and displaying too much regard for him and his orders. A man expressed the general fooling when he remarked somewhat pro fanely but tersely: " The infernal hound ain't worth the matches." Judge Mackoy proposed that a pe - tition be sent to Grant to allow the celebration of the twenty-fifth birth day of Judas Iscariot. Governor IIampton immediately issued the following proclamation: STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Executivo Chamber, Columbia, February 20, 1877. IIia E xcellency, the Pt esident of the United States, having ordered that the white militia companies of this State should not parade on the 22d instant, to celebrate Washington's birthday, in deforenco to the office he holde, I hereby call upon those organ. izations to postpone to some future day this manifortation of respect to the memory of that illustrious Presi,. dent, whose highest ambition it was, as it was his chief glory; to obeervo the Constitution, and to obey the laws of his country. If the arbitrary commands of a chief executive, who has not sought to emulate the virtues of Washington, deprive the citizens of this State of the privileges of join ing publicly in paying reverence to that day, so sacred to overy Ameri can patriot, we can at least, by our obedience to the constituted author ity, ho wever arbitrary exercised, shbow that we are not unworthy to be the countrymen of Washington. We must, thorefore, remit to some more auspicious period, w hich I trust is not far distant, the exorcise of our right to commemorate the civic virtues or that unsullied character, who wielded his sword only to found and perpe.. tuate that American constitutional liberty which is now denied to the citizens of South Carolina. (Signed,) WADE HAMPTON, Governor. One of the*companies was at their hall drilling for the parade. The c members immediately took their guns C and disbanded, each man going home. E The order was received with some in. dignation, but more ridicule. A gen,. t oral determination is o"infced to sumbs c mit at once. it is the, generally expressed opin ion hero that Chamberlain was the in% stigator of the order. Its only efrect is to add to the contempt with whichI the people regard him. Only one company of t,he Second Regiment and regula~r garrison of the United States tenops now reain bore. To the Wxpayrs of 0e 1ns at. MessrsS.eruggs and ROblusea Deputy Ualted States Marshals, eame 4ver fleli Greenville yesterday mornin frw th*pUrpose of levying the exeutions on the sureties to the supersede"s bonds, upon whiah thirty th"ee of the s* ureties have paid *ver one hal Three others have deposited with me as their agent ninety ive dollars more to be paid on the said Jugments. On a presta tien of these feot, together with other fasts of the case, and threugh the indueses of other fMiends, the said marshals have en eluded to go bask and give a few days further indulgence; and in the mean time subject themselves to the further orders of the mar shal. Now while it Is true, that thirty six taxpayers have responded to the claim, and have thereby made an elrort to stop further costs on these cases, is it at the same time true that the remaining taxpayers of the County intend to stand aloof and thereby de. feat the purposes of those who have thus made the effort to prevent further costs? The difficulties about who is Governor, and consequently who is Treasurer, will not stay the payment of these Judgments. The fact is they are obliged to be paid, and if not paid in no other way, will be forced by execution at an additional cost of six or seven hundred dollars, all of whion in the end will have to be paid by the taxpayers of the Oounty. Under the circumstances would it not be po liey to use the short time given us wisely, make up the balance of the snoney, pay off themejudgments and then settle among our selves when the taxes are collected. I would, Lherefore urge that we raise the balauce of Lhe money due on these judgments without uelay, and so advise. C. L. HOLLINGSWORTH. Judge Cooke on Hampton. In hearing a rule against the County Auditor of Anderson county, to show oause why he should not turn his books over to the .County Commis. sioners, Judge Cooke rendered the following d.eeision: For the purpose of the judgment of the Court in this case, I do not think it necessary to find the-facts, for they %re of common public notoriety, but to deal with the law of the case. The only objection urged against Wade Hampton, Esq., being rocog, nized as the Governor of South Car. ulina to day, is that the deolaration of the vote cast for Governor on the 7th of Novemb er, 1876, by the Speuk er of tho louse of Representatives was not made in the presonce of the Senate; that the Senate should have boon presencIt at such publication of the votes ciset for Governor, and that inasmuch as the Senate was not pres, ent, the installation of Wade ilamp ton proceeded without authority of law. The diffleulty hero presented is suiggeatLivo to the mind, and to say the least that can be said of the son.. duct of the Senate, it was simply a bold conspiracy with Daniel I. Chain borlain, E-q., to defeat the will of the p)eople. The conspiracy which here seeks to overthrow constitutional law, liberty and American civilization is not the growth of a day. When the heroes of the revolution and the sages of the thirteen colonies assembled to lay the foundation of the temple of liberty upon the American continent, tbey were there to take advantage of the situation. How applicable 1. the languageof inspiration, oven to that bodfywh ich framed the chart of Am. rican liberty: "There wasa day when the sons of God came tox present them solves before the Lord, and Satan came also among themn." Treason, able designs against the government established by our forefathers have marked tho history of her progress down to the present moment. And if there is no inherent self,ex.. ocuting virtue in the constitution of 1868, we are to day as a vessel, with aut chart or compass, stripped of her mast an d rudder, drifting at the mercy >t winds and each angry wave upon the quicksands of utter ruin as a State. B~ut such is not our hopeless condition. [f the letter or spirit of the constitu, ~ion is to prevail, and nothing but moccessful revolution can prevent, we nave all that could possibly have been rovided for the present contingenoy. he constitution declares that the person receiving the highest number f votes shall be Governor. The language of the constitution is impe, rative-"shall be Governor." And the failure of the Senate to be present when the Speaker of th~e House of Representatives declared the result of the election held for Governor on the tth of November, 1876, can In no wise nvalidate what followed, to wit: the installation of Wade Ham pton Esq., is Uovernor of tbe State of NeutLa Oar. lina. It was the duty of the Senate to >e present. It was revolutionary in the sonate Wt ail to be present. A wrong vhich the law will not permit to take dvantange of. In suo case the con titution executes itself, and to hold therwise in but simply to admit the lootrine that the Senate, one half of a o,ordinate departmont of the State overniment, might, by its oounterae ions and revolutionary conduct, de, sat the will of the people for all time o come. It is~ tolly and madness. to ontend for wot'h a doctrine. The em hatic declarat,ion of the constitution s that the person receiving the high, 'St number of votes "shall be Govern.. ir," and W ade Hampton, REq., having eolved of all the votes cast a major, ty of 1,184 votes, no protest nor no,4 ,ice of contest having been filed .and io having taken the oath of offoe as )rovided for In the oongtitution, was >roperly lnstalled in the o oe of ~overnor on the 14th dAy ofI.e~ D. 1876. Wade ampto, Ng. visg received the highest s-waber of votes east, and having taken e oath of office, in the Governor of 0 State of South Carolina, and his w as such mus be respected and obey "oordingly. The removal of ThoO.J. Webb-so County Auditor for Ander anu County, I binding and effectual, and he onot longer exercise the duties of said office unless reinstated by the Senate at the next session of the General Assembly of this State. The Court holds that the duties of the County Commissioners require thom te look after and take charge of the public property of the county where, rom any reason, it may be without a proper custodian, and I will therefore direct the late Auditor of this county to turn over the public property in his office to the Commissioners.. Ho has been properly removed or suspen, ded, and therefore has no right to re tain possession of the property and records. To say that his removal is illegal because he (one no wrong, is as idle as to say that this bar might meet and levy an assessment upon the people of the State when Court ad, Journs, and the Auditor would do no wrong in entering it upon the books of his offlce and proceeding as far as his duties extended to have it colleu ted. When he began the work of en tering up the assessment made by the Mackey House, he was acting in vio lation of a decision of the Bupreme Court of this state, which has declar, ed this body no House of Repreecnta, tives, and hence all it acts were ille gal, and the respondent *as therefore not only acting without authority, but in defianae of the laws laid down by the highest judicial tribunal of the State. For this the Governor might, and as shown by his return to the rule in this case did, remove him from office. The rule is therefore made perpetual, and the respondent ordered forthwith to turn over to the County Commissioners all books, papers, re cords and other property belonging to his late office as Auditor of Anderson County. Grant forbade the white militia companies of this State the privilege of celebrating the birth-day of George Washington. Chamberlain's mob of negroes could celebrate as much as they pleased, but when it came to white men it must be stopped. This is in itself sufficient evidence of the contempt Grant has for Republican institution and the freedom of the bettor class of the American citizens. Instead of trying to emulate the virtues and patriotism of the illustri ous Washington, he uses his position to crush out the last particle of liberty left to the white people of one of the original thirteen States, secured them by Washington's heroiu and unselfish patriotism. Thank God Ihis days are numbered, and we cannot be worsted in his successor. Senator Jones M. Williams, of Barn well county, died of pneumonia, at his resi-lence in Barn well county on the 14th ult.
