THE EL S D.M. Pi E . 4-.8. OCi Thuraday, Maroh 15, 1877. Hay" and the South. President Hayes has mado a good st4rt towards reconciling the South to hi& administration. 11e has cut 1tm ftom the "bloody shirt" olemont ot his party, and it is to be hoped, has burfit the bridge behind him. Al though he has made no public decla ration of it, his intimate friends and advisers declare that it is his inton% ,tion to disarm Southern distrust and pnomnto peace In that section on the b4sis'of justice and protection to all. It is declared that the nomination of Senator Koy to the Cabinet was the initial stop to this -policy. The fact that he has ignored in his Cabinet appointments, the corrupt manipulators and leaderL of the Ro publican party, who surrounded Grant and flaunted the "bloody shirt," so vigorously during the campaign, gives encouragement to the hope that he desires to do justice to the South. The first need of the South at prosent, as Ben Hill declared the other day, is r9form in her civil servico. He said tho prosont fore is incompetent, cor, rupt and oppressivo. The mails worm b.inglingly handled; the customs wore ilbificiontly collected, arid the revenue officers were biutal arid wanton. These wrongs dould be righted only by putting botter men in office. This is true, every word ot it, and if Presi dent Hayes desiret to bring about 'peace and reconciliation, he can: bost do it by removing the ignorant, in efficient, brutal and wanton crow, -who woro placed in oflico under Gen. Grant's administration. There are a fpw men, we will admit,holding minor Federal officos in the South who are competent aind honest, but a large malLjori ty of them were put in selh,1y onl~C necut of their poli tics, red~lgani less of fift.ness 0r quoal ification. Thiei r whole aim has been to drawv thieii salarios and r'un the Radioal party They would furnish evidence on short notice to manufacturo material for the "bloody~ shirt." Their entire stock in trade ha's boon abuse, slander and mnisreprosentatlion of the Southern peoplo, and if Hayes desires to build up confidence in his adminmstration in the South, he must gel rid of these fellows and appoint honest and com petent men in their 'place. This it is declared Is his purp~ose, and we shall wait patiently to see him put it into execution. Whether his object is to divide the Southern Democrats and build up a white Republican party, or to subserve the best interest of the country it is immaterial with the Southern people at this time. Their only desire is to havo good govern ment and be let alone and allowed to controll their own State affairs. If this is dono, then they will give to Mr. Hayes' administration all the aid and lawful support necessary to make it successful, but as to abandoning the Domociatic party there is not the remotest possibility of it. When the time comes t,hey will be found with~ a solid front, stronger than ever and ready to wipe out the groat wrong done thorn and the nation, by count, ing in [Iayes by fraudulent means. Death of the Chief Justice. F'xahklin Israel Moses, Chief Justice of South Carolina, died in Columbia bathe 7th inst. .He occupio-. a seat in the State Senate, from Sumptor Couinty,ifor thirty years, and was a ~irouit Judge for a short time since the war. After reconstruction he was elected Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, wvhich position he held at his death. Ho was a man of oonsiderablo literary attainments and a fine lawyer -His opinions are very fipo and rank with those:of the ablest jurists in the State.

A anal orde -was made In this oase on the 27th day of February last past, with I he concurrence of Associate Jus tice Wright, at a conference of the Court on that day, from which the Chief Justice was absent by reason of severe illness. The order In question terminated the present proceedings by habeas corpus by dischafging the prisoner. At the request of Associate Justico Wright, 1 suspended the filing of the order until Saturday of this week. On Thursday an opinion was placed in my hands by the clerk of the Court, put perting to be the opin ion of Judge Wright, although not endorsed with his signature in the customary manner. This opinion was accompanied by a memorandum hav ing the signature of Judge Wright, purporting to be a revocation of the previous order in which he bad con curred. Without receiving any subsequent communication from Judge Wright, I attended the court on Friday, the 2d day of March, pursuant to adjourn meit. It was my intention to express or ally at that timo.the results to which I had arrived as to the questions invol vod in the case, but in consequence of the absence of Judge Wright, the court was necessarily adjourned, and no opportunity afforded fbr such state mont. I doom it important, in view of' the important questions involved, deeply affecting the interest and feel. ings of tho poople of the State, and in view of the anomalous and unprece, dented charneter of tho recent pro, coodings taking placo before a court of last rosort, to put on record a brief statomont, of the results arrived at by myself, intending to place them in the form of a formal opinion at the earli, est practicable moment: My conclusions are: 1. Tfhat, according to the returns of the manaigers of clection in tbe several co)untieLs, mud:io in duplicante, and( one eopy t hereof trainimitted, sealed, to the Seetar'y of State, and the other tiled in the office of the respective clerks of the courts of the several counties, WVado Hampton received the highest r.umber of votes for the office of Governor of this State at the elc, Lion hold on the 7th day of .Novemnber last. That, such being the faict, lie bes camne Governor of this State by the direct declaration of the following wvords: "The per~son having the high, est number of votes shall be Governs. or;" there having been no con test of the votes for Governor, recognized by a current resolution of the two houses of' the General Assembly, as prescri, bed by law, under the authority of the constitution, contained in those words "Contested elections for Governor shall be determined by the General Assembly in such manner as shall be prescribed by law." (Art. 8, sec. b.) That, inasmuch as no contest exist, ed-under the constitution, and no two persons had equally the highest num ber of votes, the General Assembly had no functions to perform, except to establish by law a day on which he should be installed; that day being re, quired by the constitution to be du ring the first session of the Legi5la turte, That the ody object of the opening and publication of the returns was, in such a case, notice of the f'cts disclos ed by the returns. I also conclude that the provision declaring the person receiving the highest number of votes, according to the returns communicated to the Sec, retary of State, and filed with the clerks of the courts, is independent of that preceeding it, prescribing the du ties of the Speaker of the House of Representagves, as it regards opening and publishing the returns in the presence of the houses; so that if the latter is unperformed the former is entitled to full force and effect. 2. I conclutde that the acceptance by Mx. Chamberlain of the declara tion of an unauthorized body to the effect that he was elected Governor, and taking the office thereunder, was an unlawful usurpation of the office of Governer, inconsistentwith the pro visions of the constitution in ref erence to the right to hold over until his suc cessor is elected, and duly qualified, and does not present a case for hold.. ing over within the contemplai,ion and intent of the constitution. 8. I conclude that Mr. Chamberlain is not capa~ble of being duly recogniz, ed as do facto Governor, as he is with out the recognit.ion or cn.opnation of' t, popmr branch of the Gjo'a As spbly"and b reason thererf In bl ofin_y*t'of fact to ex he flti of Governor. . old t t no eveout 0, legita. tivi orjud oa act is requis t fill any condition, or rem9ye any ob struotion' impendini , f,9l exeorgion of the pn'4 ' ani ieAt o#i e ' of the constitution declaring. the per-. .wq,rocqjving the -.1ig4ep- rn votesito be GovorAoran.]-t id# e Hampton is, ntitled-tWaWa,m el cacy of that clause of the constitution, and in virtue thereof is Governor I of the State of South Carolina, and his pardon duly Issued Is entitled to be respected. A. J. WILLARD, P-eidihg Justlee. Cabinet Nomiuations. WASHINGTON,.Marh 7.-Preaidont Hayes has submitted the following Cabinet nominatione to the Senato: Secretary of State-William M. Evartp, of New York; $ecrotary of the Treasury-John Sherman, of Ohio; Secretary of war-Goo. W. McCraiy, of Iowa; Secretary of the, Navy-R M. 'I hompson, of IndiinnAd; Secretary of the Interior-Carl Scmu,'of Mis,. scui i; Attorney General-Charles Dev3na, of Massachusetts; Postmastor General-David M. Key, of Tennesce. Mr. Key is a Domocrat, Schurz, Devens and Fvarts were Grooly Ro publicans in the campaign of 1872. Morton and Blaino mado a fight against the nominations, because they wore not of their kind, but they were confirmed by the Senato. Violence in South Carolina. Under the above sensational head. ing the New York Tribuno publishes a letter signed Radix, and dated Greenville, S. C., February 8, which gives a highly colored and altogether one sided account of tho difficulty be twveen ore Redmond and a United States Marshal named Barton, which occurred in Pickens county on thec 20th of January last. This~ ano'vmfons writer endeavors tob make political capital out of the oc, currience, by rpr5-sn ting the pole of Pickens as symnpathiiing with out laws against the Governmon t, andl then adding that Piokons gave Wade I1ampton 1,800 majority. T1he truo' account of the whole affair, as given under' oath by the Intendant and citizens of Easley Station, was pub,. lished in T1ho Newvs and Courier of' January 27. From that a:coulnit it appear's that Bairton and his g captured Redmiond and took away from him his horses, wagon and goods, and also robbed him of *163 which he had in his pocketbook. Redmond escaped, and afterwards fired on the Marshal 's party, wounding two of them. Several days afterwards Red. mond got a party' together, and wont to Barton's house and oompelled re stitution of the money and horses; or at teast made him give up other mon ey and hot ses in plaee of them.. The people of Easley seemed to look cn Redmond and Barton as a couple of scoundrels, with whose quarrels they had nothing to do. They did not help Barton, neither did they help Redmond. Barton's conduct justified them in this opinion. IIe and his party visited the house of a Mr. Popper in the middle of the night, w'used the family, and w ith guns leveled at their beads, compoiled ohm to provide fire and supper. The United States deputy marshals, are, too frequently, a set of' ruffians, with out any regard for theo people among whom they are sent, and who imagine themselves entitled to raniso .black mail, and steal and capture. all they can lay their hands on; and, when they arrest a man on suspicion,. seem to think they have the right to kill him on the slightest appearance of, an at tempt at escape. ,A year ago one of these deputies murdered a pr'isoner at Belton, in this State, and, so tar from ever having been punishod, he is now a mail agent on th)e Air L1ine Rail road. What wonder is it, then ,that the poople look on these marshals as rogues, rather than officors?. lIfthe strolling Yankees, who pick up a living by swindling the Southerrr people out of their money for all sorts of patent humbugs, will insist on write ing to the .Nortborn papers everything llousthat they can hoar or invent, tistleast the duty of those journ al ofind out the truth and suppress the falsehood; and, if the truth is sometimes against us, to consider whether disregard of' law is not the necessary anid inevitable consequened of misgovernment and opprossion.-. NTews and Courier. Theire Is a general agreement even among the carpot.-bftggers now that Chamberlain atnd Packard have got to surrender. Exactly how it will-bear-. ranged is the only question, and we shall probably soon get some light oni it.--.Sringfleld nan~cn.m Pre-tmlt of yGral j S'e 1774Vo heiHon.

We find that W. A.

This was soveral years ago, ~ during Mr. Bowon's term. The oilice :1 of the Judge of Probate is not in'goGd condition.

It was sord in 1874, for cash, and brought t.hree thousand dols lar's. The purchaser has not even yet] complied with the terms of sale. Some of the parties entitled to the proceeds H of sale have applied for the saime, but have not been abio to receive the full , amount duo. Such are the defects in the pleadings, orders, and proceed, ings in this case, that it is very doubt *tal whether the purchaser can obtain a good title. There are other irregu~. larities in the office, which the jury . have not time to motion. 8. We find from the evidence of W. A. Clyde and Gorego Moore, that L I.
