The ei of our long and anxious waiting had arrive* the result of our efforts was the attainment the priceless blessing of Home Rule, and t was peace and joy. An entertainment in behalf of St. Marl Episcopal Church was given at Colemat Hall, on Wednesday evening, by amateurs our town.

Mr. Clawson, Mr. Hem hill, Mr. Howze, and, indeed, all the gentl men actors, acquitted themselves with cred and made a display of that dramatic taler i?Ki/>h CKefltar is becoming iustlv celebr ted. The play was followed by a laughab farce, conducted by Mr. M. H. Hunter, M J. P. Walker and Mr. J. L. Simmons.

Yocora, late Treasurer of o' county, sold a lot of furniture at public 01 cry on Thursday. The hardness of the tira did not act as an insuperable obstacle to t! securing of good prices for the things sol The furniture was, for the most part, han some and in good condition, which account for the demand for it.

Still, if be desires to remain, no o jections will be entertained, provided he i cognizes and advises his followers to recogni aud support the Hampton government, ai does his part towards promoting the publ welfare. Such a course of action on his pa will tend to remove any ill feeling engendi ed against him in this community by his ps political life. A tremendous storm of wind and rain pi ailed here on Friday. The elements rag at a fearful rate for several hours, threatenii serious consequences to life and property, b with the exception of the blowing down the Republican flag pole, no damage was dot No storm of greater violence has prevail here since that of 1872, which prostrat several houses in East Chester.

Great excitement in all diet id grain and stock markets. W. H. McK. up ! he a of THE FORMAL SURRENDER. J?*1 id Under date of April 11th, the Columbia ji d; correspondent of the Charleston Nevt and woe of Courier gives the following account of the if i' ill formal transfer of the executive office to W0E Governor Hampton's private secretary : *""" t's The transfer of the Government of South i'g Carolina, with all the momentous interests in- ? 0f volved in that proceeding, was effected to-day ~y with as little pomp and circumstance as N though the two prominent characters, parties to the ceremony, were exchanging photor(l graphs or jack-knives. These two gentlemen L n- were Messrs. Wade H. Manning and C. J. ch?' rd Babbitt, Governor Hampton's and Mr. Cham- thg )e berlain's respective secretaries. tatic Mr. Chamberlain left his office a few rain- ite^ y utes after 11 A. M., and after bidding farewell to his officers and clerks in the Capitol, N ' entered his carriage, in company with Mr. J. G. Thompson, and was driven through Main Rec< k- street to his residence. The streets were Tots g- densely crowded at the time by thousands who Q. had assembled to witness a circus pageant stoc gg which was then passing, and the carriage Stoc picked its way slowly along almost unnoticed. |ie The cold, handsome face of the ex-Governor ? 15 might have been seen for a moment as he ir- went by, but if he felt any unnatural eraolie tion in view of his suddenly altered circum- ? ie. stances, no evidence of it could be detected in 0f the expression of his pale, quiet features. 0T The familiar portfolio, without which he has n" never or seldom been seen, in his daily jour- Bac f8 ney to and from the State-House, was as >ir usual under his arm, and even while you no's. ted these slight details, he was gone, of At five minutes to 12 M., Mr. Manning 0f presented himself at the Executive office and Eoa ^ was politely met by Mr. Babbitt, of whom he Can K requested the surrender ot the liovernor s orfice in the name of Governor Hampton. Mr. cok '*? Babbitt replied that he was directed by Gov?t, ernor Chamberlain to make the transfer at Suo a- 12 precisely, and would do so when that hour je arrived. As the first stroke of noon was p heard, Mr. Babbitt handed over the seal and keys of the office, accompanying the action pLO ? with the usual verbal formula, and Governor li" Hampton was in possession of his office. A jj us few minutes more were spent in explaining v- the details of bookB, papers, &c., and both Iro gn gentlemen retired from the premises, leaving the office locked, as it will remain, until the ma< key is turned to admit Gov. Hampton hiraur self. He will probably take possession, in Mo1 person, to-morrow. A few idlers were present es about the building, but only one or two genhe tlemen were allowed to be preseut at the cered. raouy as witnesses. Na, The day has been strangely quiet, barring ^ the circus, after the events of yesterday. 0lL! There have been no flags displayed, no hurJ8* rahs heard, nothing beyond a quiet, satisfied ,e* acceptance of the new era so long expected, so Shi ur often despaired of, but at last arrived, b- I have been reliably informed that Mr. >e_ Chamberlain's sudden change f purpose was Yai ze brought about by the earnest representations , and advice of his Chief Executive officers, stk r whose names appeared attached to the letter ',c addressed to him. The cogent arguments rt used are fully recounted in Mr. Chamberlain's ;r- own letter. It is said his final determination Tie at was arrived at only after -long deliberation, aud that he finally yielded directly in the teeth N * ? . * 1 a?7 of most urgent advices rrom YYasningion to * "? stick to his first resolution. ? The other officers in the State-House consider it their duty to hold their grouud, subject ut to the decision of the Supreme Court. I do ? of not think they care or hope to remain very ie_ much longer. The Democratic contestants Tl ^ for the same offices will move into the Capi- ^'ll1 , tol at once, and occupy others of the nuraer e oua vacant rooms therein until duly recognized. ID' GOVERNOR HAMPTON IN POSSESSION. Tl ,D~ On the following day, Governor Hampton atlrr took formal possession of the executive office, of 5 m- remaining there until a late hour in the after- he|i on noon. The transfer of his papers, Ac., from the temporary quarters over Scott's Bank, e8 hitherto occupied by him as an office, was ti ' quickly effected, and it was remarked that the the ' Governor appeared perfectly at home in his new position. The ante-room of the Execu- A y- tive office will be made to serve for all the he heads of departments for the present, or until to they obtain possession of the other offices to aJn ce which they are respectively entitled. ^at, Je A squad of convicts from the Penitentiary ont ' was busily engaged on Thursday in the very . necessary labor of scouring the floors of the a ,n rooms which had been thoroughly defiled by ? m- Chamberlain's special constables during their er occupancy. This herculean task will have to N )r. be performed throughout the entire building. Fev M The seal, which was turned over to Gover- Bos ^ nor Hampton on Wednesday, proves to be the T great seal of the state, wmcn cnancea to De \ pnl] 118 ia the Governor's office at the time of the ( transfer. It is reported that Mr. Hayne Maj claims to be entitled to its possession by vir- ! dise an tue of his office as secretary of State, and ac- I whc 0f tually requested that it might be restored to j last rQ his custody. This request was not complied ' safe ' with for divers reasons, one of which may be : not 181 found in Section 18 of Article 3 of the Con-1 P,e ia' stitution of the State, where it is expressly set i en forth that there is to be a great seal which is _ a- to be used by the Governor. on ? : POLITICAL BRIEFS. w 0f ?
