And the rea son that ?tao far exceeds their anticipa tion is because there ba? been nothing ia tiiis country before with which we could reasonably compare it The grandest exhibition by any Suite in this Union has been covered by a single roof. Here arc one hundred and seventy-one build ings, covering nearly eighty acres of ground, exhibiting every style of archi tecture, from an Esquimaux hut to the gilded halls of tho Alhambra. No better idea of ita immensity can bo given than hy the statement of a single fact. For more that three months I have every day taken a walk through thc Stain Hall, and there has not been a day in all that time hut I have discovered something new, and every hour I find myself walking in alleys and Innes lined with rich and costly cases that I nm sure I never saw before. 11 The grand organ at the eastern entrance 11 of the iii oin Hall has got to be an old friend. Each morning ILS I enter it greets mc willi its splendid melody, md at evening when I depart the grand anthem df "Home, Sweet Home," is my pleasaut good night. In thc Main Building there are two grand organs, oue by Roosevelt, and the other by E. G. Hook Hasting?, Tliey are immense instruments-I think tbs largest I have ever seen-giving every graduation of sound, from the deep roar of the rolling thunder to the tiniest piping of the cricket ; and yet so immense ia the Main Building .that both might be playing at the same f time and thc deepest diapason of one would never disturb the lightest harmony of I i the other. 11 Near the eastern entrance is a ccsc of goods that would be au honor to any manufacturer in thc world. It is thc exhibit of the Peace Dalo Manufacturing Co., of Rhode Island. This may be a name well known to established manu facturers, but let mc ask how many of the million of consumer", throughout thc United States ever heard thc nuinn nf Peace Dale before ? Blessed emblems of peace arc tb? beautiful shawls, which speak to UK of home; not dirty camel hair shawls, costing anywhere from eight hundred to five thousand dollars a piece, but nice, decent, wholesome, home-lika looking garments, just such as any sensi ble man would bo glad to see on his wife's shoulders of a cold winter's day. A*respectable covering, within the reach of any ordinary mechanic, and more in keeping with our republican institutions than thc eosiiy gewgaws of Persia and Cashmere. Besides the exhibit of shawls, they- have > job <of thc j finest .worsted coatings, which arc unsurpassed. There arc no French goods that compare with them, and I sincerely rejoice ut the groat advance that hns been made in the Uni ted States in this branch of manufactures. There is another exhibit which is worthy of especial mention, not simply because it represents one of the oldest and staunchest business firms in the United States, but because it has intro duced in this country a comparatively iicw manufacture, which in destined lo become ono of th? leading industries of Union. I refer to the Joseph Dixon Crucible ?qmpauy, of New Jersey.,. The fume of tlie crucibles manufactured by this greut house lias been known for half a century in all thc mining and smelting districts, in tl??,world./ But,it iremained for the Hon. Orestes Cleveland, the pres ent president and chief manager of the company, to create a new industry which has grown with such rapidity as to real ize thc story of Jonah's Gourd. A few years ago and'?h'? ri?i?e o'f'i?n American lead pencil waa a reproach, to-day the finest lead pencils in the world aro man ufactured in Jersey City; not only arc tlicy manufactured, but they are manu factured with a rapidity and excellence that challenges admiration and defies competition.

WASHINGTON, August 81. "Shall Hayes openly indorse Graut?" That is the question that is just now threatening a serions family quarrel in tba Republican party. A dispatch published a few days ago announced that Grant had invited Hayes to visit him at Long Branch, and he had accepted. A dispatch printed yesterday dated Colum bus, O., announced that Hayes had a pressing invitation to spend n few days of rest with prominent men East and West but that pressure o? official business, would probably prevent him from accept ing any of them. These despatches have an inside history, aa follows, the facts being well vouched for: When Hayes act out'for Philadelphia and the Centen nial, af}er the Cincinnati nomination, he informed a few intimates that he pro posed coming to Washington to see Grant, and consult some of thc leaders about hiiHettonof acceptance. Thia nurRpeK goretti Kfllirfo*-hw political fnM9| abd they al once saw the dangar of his countenancing Grant openly. Wykofi", the Republican manager in Qbio. there upon assembled a council?h'hot\t?aste, which decided that the projoctcd confer once with Grant must bo frustrated. Hayes, having already goue to Philadel phia, the desired object waa effected ip this way : They assumed the responsi bility and persuaded Hay es' private sec retary to telegraph him thnt important public.business demanded bis immediate return to Columbus. So the disaster was averted for ?he time. - To-day a well-known Republican here, Speaking of that ruse, said in sub stance : "You see we know that Hayes don't amount to much, and we felt that if he cams on here Grant would make much of bim, Shepherd would wine end dine him, Chandler and the rest would be called in, and they would g?t pretty much what they wanted out of him." But tho trouble was not over when Hayes went back to Columbus! His omission to mention Grant or tho Administration in hm letter of acceptance seriously of fended Grant, so much in fact that Mor ten and Goaklin? both wrote tn Hayes teUingbfm of Grant's feelings, and urg ing him to make up. Hayor thereupon wroto r. long complimentary letter to Gri?t,4iscbj&ningany intention,to omif. Grant for Governor and Mrs. Hayes to visit Long Branch waa tho result, and this invitation Hayes accepted. There upon Hayes' political friends w?re thrown irfto:fepaulc.awinjt:ah^ besieged with protests that ho mustn't go to Long Branch. And a few days sgo a dispatch was sent to Hayes from a prominent Rc Mibljcan bore declaring inmost positive IjrrnV that be muslUot under Jtfoy! cir cumstance* visit Grant at Long Branch, for if he did Carl Schorr woulrTdraw out ?,;u onnnnrt ?nd h* would lo=e * quarter of a million votes.

GEN. WADE HAMPTON. A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH. BY J. WOO? DAVIDSON'. FKxn /Ac lirkxUl* AHyxiftv. In tho issue of the Enquirer, of date of January IStb., 1870, first appeared the subjoined sketch of Gen Wade Hampton, written for the columns of this paper hy a talented SOB of Carolina, who has since removed from the State. It wss prepared and published simply as a biographical sketch of an illustrious citizen of the State, whose name was an embodiment of virtue and valor ; and was not inten? ded w subserve any political or other purpose. The recent nomination of General Hampton tn t> * Chief Magistracy of the State* nguiu bringa bis name prominently before the people, and attaches a deep i s ter cst tc the principal evuuta in his nwt c-ir.-i-r. Wt* presu'no our readers will reouir? no apology from II? fer 7Tr-" piesenting in our columns the principal events in the life of one se much cn denrcd to the people of the State, and around whose name so much present in terest attaches : By birth,, residence, education and ch?mete;, General Wade Hampton ia a South Carolinian. Perhaps no better representative man could be found-rep resentative in that he combines in him self a fairer share of those helter quali ties of mind and character, of which Soutlienicni are so uniformly proud, and upon which thc genuine South Carolinian bases his individuality. Ile is a type or representative man of both section and State. His grandfather-Colonel Hampton, of Revolutionary fame, and afterwards a General in the war of 1812-bore the same name. As a partisan officer of the forces of Marion and Sumter, he was noted for the rapidity, boldness and suc cess of his movements, in the late war -thi t of 1812-he received the appoint ment of Brigadier, and served under Gen. Dearborn in the operations against Canada. Hiu father, Col. Wade Hampton, served as aide-de-camp with Gen. Andrew Jack sou in the defense of New Orleans. Thus three generations bave served with distinction in war. Lieutcnant~General Wade Hampton, tho subject of the present sketch, was born in Charleston in the TCAT 1818. He entered tho South Carollua College in 183d. His graduating speech was upon Tasto. The peculiar character of the man appeared while yet a youth, in his conduct at a great fire in Columbia, where he won thc admiration of older heads by the coolness. , forethought and daring which he exhibited. I rom hb earliest boyhood he was noted for his fondness for hunting ; and hos enjoyed, f?cni that time, thc reputation of being the best shot and the most successful huntsman in the State. He served before the war in both brauches of the State Legislature. Thc most mcjnorfthtn oublie measure -st hi led, was tho opposition to the re-opening of the African slave trade. He was ii the Senate nt that time. Gov. Adams in his message, had recommended thc re-opening ot that trade ; and the com mittce to which the subject was referred, submitted a report favorable to it. Sen ator Hampton was a member of thal committee, and was the writer of a mi nority report, which took strong ground; against the action of the ' majority. Hit treatment of his own slaves was ai way t humsno, of which fact we shall have fur'.nci evidence in events that have, oe cu:.- d since the war. He io said to.havc beeu the owner of a greater number ol slaves than any other planter in his Etate. He married first Miss Preston, of Vir Sinin, and second Miss McDuffie, ? aughter of Gov. McDuffie. of South Carolina. Hb home, at Columbia, hoi been characterized as the "abode 01 splendid hospitality, and us one of the most Buperb residences in the United States." Thia waa destroyed hf Sher man's troops at the time they burned Columbia, in February, 1805. Theaotis, was isolated, and must have been fired separately-one among tho thousands oi instances of violation of the laws and rjghts of war, in the destruction cf pri vate property. When the war of secession aroa? in 1861, Wade Hampton entered service ai a private in Captain A. lt. Taylor's Con garcu Mounted Riflemen, which did ser vice near Charleston during the requctior of Fort Sumter, in April of that year. As soon as the invasion of Yirginit made that State tho theatre of 'he war - carly in 1861-and it became manifeal that a general war wan inevitable; he se! about lorming bb command to take pori in it. This command co nais ted of al three branches of the military-cavalry infantry and artillery-and was kpowi throughout the war as the Hampton L: giou. Thb was organised at Columbi: during the early summer, and. went on tx Virginia in time to join in tho battle 0 Manassas-the Bull Run of tho North emera. The Legion bore with it a ban uer presented by . the Indies of his nativi State, which ..is destined to wave ove many a bloody field. In thc First Battli of Manassas,' the Hampton Legion heh tho Warrcnton Road against thc tingad of Keyes. Overwhelming numbers bon them Back a short dbtance, but forming on the right of Jackson's Stonewall bri gode, they did heroic service in turniiij the tide of an almost desperate day General Beauiegard, in his official report spoke of the Legion with the highes praise, mentioning that it "aided in re storing the fortunes of the day, at tb time when the enemy, by a last desperat onsst, with heavy odds', had driven th Confederates from the fiercely contest? Sound about the Henry House." Col ftinpton'a horse was shot under hit: early in the action, and later ho waa sc vercly wounded iu the head With a il" ball. The Hampton Legion took part in al the battles of the Peninsular, movin with Johnston's army up to the defuns of Richmond. In the battle of Seve Pines-81st May,. 1882-Col. Hanipto was again wounded. Then came th Seven Days' Fight before Richmond,.In ginning with Bfechanicsvllle and endin with Mai vern's Hills/ In which he and hi Legion-already famous for its brillia! achievements, and ; already everywhei felt to carry with il. thc prestige of a legio of veterans-took a distinguished par It was after the battle of Cold Harb< that Col. Hampton was promoted to be Brigadier General of Calvary. From thb time--July, 1862-until tr death of : General Stuart-May, 1864V General Hampton served under Genen Stuart, who was Leo'a first officer or ca' airy in bb Anny of Northern Virgin* At 8tuan>'e death, Hampton was. a< Leo's cavalry. But we are anticip?t" the coarse ofjeycjdi" JU| us return the winter of 1882. Daring December, 1862. Gea. Ham ton-r-then a Brigadier-did brilliant se vice tn three memorable dashes acre the R-ppahannock River, which wss th winter the lino between the Federal ai Confederate armies. On the first ! made a surprise excursion aerees the ri or, in Tillich he fell unexpectedly upon two squadrons of Federal cavalry, tup tu red several of! cers and a hundred men, and all without anr lou on his e?de. On the 11th, he made a successful dash opss Dumfries ; and scale, on the MHb, a still inore successful one. is which he brought off a hundred and thirty prisoner*. ' Ia the splendid and ?tentfui but varied operations of 1863, General Hampton did some of the most gallant fighting of tho whole war. In the battle or Brandy Sta tion his command consisted of the First and Second South Carolina Cavalry, the First North Carolina Calvary and the Cobb, Jeff Davis and Phillip Legions I til cavalry aud mounted artillery. The fight was obstinate and bloody. The character of tho contest and tho ?pifit shown by the Confederates, appear iu the striking fact that every field officer to whom the command successively fell was wounded-Cc!. Baker, of the First North Carolina ; then Colonel Young, of Cobb's Legion ; then Col. Black, cf the First South Carolina ; ??en Lieutenant Colonel Lipscomb, of the Second South Carolina. The important results of that engagement ure a part nf ri[.?\s\ry Tn?, ???i'e-u spSCS at our disposal Lero docs not allow us to present them. In Lee's Pennsylvania campaign, tho cavalry had some of the most ard nona service j and the gallant performance cl the duties enacted of their, by those try ing circumstances, established for them that prestige which they bore into the memorable warfare ?round Bichmond and Petersburg in 1864-a warfare, in ita inequality of forces, and the heroism dis played iu it, an?] its ends accomplished ny daring and endurance, unparalleled in history. In tho grand drams of Gettysburg those three July days of the riot of red death-Gen. Hampton took part. Wbal bart he took appears in the effects upon the field und those which followed quick' ly after. Upon the field he was three times wounded, and his command so torc by thc terrific work that of the twenty three field officers in bia brigade, twenty one were either killed or wounded. Soon after General Hampton--up to this tim? a Brigadier-war- promoted to be u Majoi General. Thc Confederate government made duly sensible of the services done was not reluctant to accord to him its ap propriato recognition and reward-pro motion. To detail the many operations of Gen Hampton's cavalry from the memorabb days of Gettysburg to the still more mern orable days of May, 1864. might conn within the limits of a biography, bu cannot within those of abrief sketch Uki this. Upon the death of Stuart, May, 1864 General Hampton became the cominan der-in-chiof of the cavalry branch o Lee's army. As apart of his grand move on Rici; mund, Grant sent Sheridan to deal son* blows co-operative to ?hat end. Sheridai was to take Gordonsville and Charlottes ville, and destroy their railway conoce tiona, after which he ess to move oi and capture Lynchburg in conjunctim i ?iitx Auni?r. On toe lUtb of June, e i Trevillian'a Station, on the Central Rail road, Sheridan discovered an ualookod-fc resistance. Hampton's troops wera form ing across his route. On the morning < tho lltb, tho battle WM fought, a hatti hardiy surpassed daring the whole vs in its determined and almost desperat daring. Sheridan was cave rely handlet aud his expedition thwarted. Rapi movements on the pirt of Hampto brought these commands again asdagsi in contact-at tho White House, at Fora Bridges and finally at Samaria Churc? where Sheridan's forces were handsome! routed. Thia brilliant achievement sec?n ?>1 ?abed, Hampton was returning to rc oip Lee's army, on the 26th of Jum after three weeks of Herculean servia when a new task appeared for him. Thi was to intercept and damage Wilsen' command, who wes ascertained to ba c r?utfi from Staunton River bridge fe Grant's army. Fit? Leo nas toco-opora< vi th an artillery and Infantry force pince at Reams* Station, Hampton foun Wilson at Sappohy Church, broke hi main line of battle, and kept up a ht and embarrassing pursuit for seven days. Thc troops at Beams' Station ac deo further to the discomfiture, and th whole affair eddrd laurel* to Lee's cava! ry arm, and inspired a degree of cautio in Sheridan's calvary that they nev? fully recovered from until some days afb the affair?t Appomattox. Hampton too ?00 prisoner-.). A summary of these op ration, beginning on the IS tb of June two dav* befc-re "no mot Sheridan st Tr. v:!!i;;n s-is thus, given in Gen. Hem] ton's official .report : "During this time-a period of ,tw?ntj three dayc-thc command had no ree var. badly supplied with rations aud fo age, marched upwards of four bund rc miles, fought tire greater portion of si days and one entire night, captured n; ward of two thousand primmer*, in i , guns, small arm.-, '.wagons, horses as other materials of war, and was cod plctely successful in defeating two of tl most formidable and), well organised e: peditions of the enemy. Thin was accoc jil ?abed at a cost, ia my division, of sc vc xiundrcd and nineteen killed, wound; and missing. The. men have borne the privations with perfect cheerful ness ; th< pave fought admirably, and I wish to e press, before closing ray reports, not on my thanks to them for their good co r'uet, but lny pride'at having had tl honor to command them," This language ls characteristic of tl mau. Candid and generous ns he brave, nobe can be more ready jo acco to oth?rs their due meod of.praise. Then carno a few months of lull. Rc there could not be. That eternal vij lance which is said to bethe price of li crty, ii* a veritable condition of existen in tho mee of such au enemy under BU rir.Mlfnalanrvna. The 16th'of September ls the dato Hampton's famous Beef Bald. This co sistea of first ascertaining that an li menso abipmout of beef-cattle had be received by Grant at City Point, and wc kept East of that place a short distan and in rear of the Federal artsy ; and secondly makin* a dash around rt^a left wing, and driving off four faundr ?moncra and twenty-five hundred beev bis waa beef enough, one es timi makes it, to feed fifty thousand men i about six weeks, allowing a pound of bi to the ration. It was on the 28th of October tl General Hampton lost a son in a bat! Both his sons, who wore in service wi him, were wounded in the same emrai ment-on the Dinwiddle Plank Boat! one fatally. \" 'M , '. j ?, , Boon after tb??2 dEtej. as the win 1864 began to como, or, the significa! and'direction-the importance and < nniar-tlvA r>n5i>l-F".lif>- on lin's Qinrua became manifest, Hampton s wors Virginia must be abandoned to perib a more needed one in South Caroli Beauregard waa then in command in department directly menaced by Sh man'o op?rations. Hampton was ordo South to report to Beauregard : altnoi tu arrest the march pf tho Federal ar was known to he impossible. Other c were had in view. Herc Kilpatrick ] the commander of the cavalry with wb Hampton waa brought in contact; and the latter succeeded in inspiring him with some degree of that caution which Sheridan, in Virginia, had learned, after much experience to fee!. At thia time it was-a few day? before the evacuation of Columbia-General Hampton was promoted to the rank of Lioutcnant-Gencra., which was a fitting recognition of mob service as tho govern ment had received at his bands. The last light of Hampton's command was near Haleigh, North Carolina, just after tho Confederates evacuated that city. General Kilpatrick charged Hamp ton's rear guard. The Confederates turned os the Federal, charged and drore them btvck in confusion, taking prisoners, and killing and wounding som 2. In a genera! estimate of these military services, we must not forget the magni tude of the wer. It is doubl?es a reason able estimate to reckon that General Hampton saw ten times as much actual service in the fields as General Washing I wn did. When the war waa over, he that had been great in war, showed a greatness ?~iiii?.. un honorable tn peace. Temperate lu alt his views, earnest in every issue, clear-sighted when most others were con founded, ho bas spoken and written words that tbe future will cherish as words of wisdom, when such words were so few. On the 20th of August, 1865, just after a public meeting of whites had been held in Columbia, General Hampton advised against any public movement uutil tho general government had Indicated its Solicy towa rd the State. Ho said : ''The tate is either a member of the Federal Union, or it is not. If a member then not only is it a work of supererogation for her to ask admission to the Union, but she is, by the 'Constitution of the United States, guaranteed a Republican form of Government, and che has the right to administer lier government under such a Constitution and by such laws as she chooses. But if she is, on the con trary not a member of the Union, shs must be regarded either ns a Territory, or as a conquered province. In either con dition, the United States authorities are charged with- the duty of providing a proper government for her, and I think the true policy of the State is to remain passive until such a government is given nor, or is forced upon har." He then proceeded to show that Convention of the people and an acquiescence in every do rnend that Congress might make would not result in restoring the State to her proper relations to the Federal Govern ment-a feet which has become patent to a good many since that time. On the 7th of August, 1867-two yearn later, when two conventions of our citi zens had been held-he expressed the same convictions. After showing that the faith kept by thc North toward the South had been Punic, he says : "I touch on these points only to snow the mistakes committed by the South, when it con formed io ihose demands of the North which were interpolated into the condi tions after our summier. Our Stats Conventions were mistakes j so wore the changes of our Constitutions ; greatei than all other, wis the legislation ratify ing the amendment of tho United Stute: Constitution known os Article 13." Again, ho says : "Has this policy of con cession to unlawful commands been pro ductive of benefit tbat wo still desire tr pursue It f Are we prepared, for tht sake cf expediency-that fatal fa Une j which has lured ns so far on tho road ti destruction-that Trojan Horse whicc has brought with it an Iliad of woes-ti barter nwt y the few rights remaining'tc us ? Yet this is the course ire must fol low, if we accept terrqs'which wo knott to bo Contrary to the conditions on wbict we surrendered, and which aroi In oner arid paipablc violation of the Constitu tion of tho United States-of that Con stitution which We swear to support al the very moment we ?rc grossly outrag ing its most sacred provisions." Iiis nd ?/iee at that juncture was : "Let evcrj i man register, and cast his vote against the Convention." In all his discussions of the difficult ? problem of tho relations betwceis the twe j races in the South, General Hampton bot never lost sight of their idchtf tv of inter [ eats. In February, 1867, addressing t meeting of freedmen in Columbia, h< i said : ''Your welfare is inseperably link 1 ed with' that of the whites of the South j If wo are unjust taxed, you will suffer; i we are ruined, you will be destroyed Your prosperity deponds entirely on tim I of your country, and whatever fate a'wafu t the white peoplo of the South will bi ? yours.'' ihese are words of wisdom that thi unfortunate freedman have been scduous ly taught to forget; taught hy adven turen who grow rich upon tho ruin bl both races. 1 Upon the abolition of slavery ho said 1 "Th? deed hn-. been done, and I; for oue 1 do honestly declaro that I never wish t see it revoked. Nor do I believe tha the people of the South would nov? re manet' tuc negro to slavery, if they hat thepower to do so." His idea of the course to purstte ta ward the negro appears in these word: addressed to his former companion* ii arms, in the fall of 1666 : "As n slave, b Was faithful to us; as a freeman, let u treat him os a friend. Deal with'hin frankly, justly, kindly,1 and my word fo lt, he will reciprocate' your * klndnesi clinging to his old home, his own couti tr/ and his former masters." This wa before the negro had been tampered wit by party politician?. In 1869, he caro the most decided e> pressions ot h? opinion as tj the' pqlic ? te bopnreaed-even yet pnrrued-towar the negro. This was his Oration nt th Georgia State Fair in Macon,'on thc 17t of November. These ??0 his words : "The negro is unc.oub ?y helter fi ted, from his long trais- his physicj fwnfltriim^ir.n Ti nf Ma , rt ?Ki I it jr mn . ; thc universities of pur climate, ty make ! more efficient laborer than any othe ?

On thia subject, I speak not from theo but experience-an experience whi h*> taught me that the kindest rela?o cs? exist between the planter and 1 i forme/ clavos, reaultina lo mutual advan I tase to boto partios, pis old alav?s are cultivating tun land on which they have I lived for yean, and there has been a con stant aud marked Improvement in their ! industry in each yeer since their emanci pation, though they have not yet attained th. c ime efficiency as laborers they for merly possessed. I have promised to pot op (br them a school-house, and church, and to pay a portion of the eabv ries of their teachers. Such a system, if Sencralty adopted, would tend greatly to s the laborers to the soil, and would, by adding to their conten', and enjoyment, Tesult in vast ultimate benefit to tue land lord,. That kind treatment, just dealing nnd sincere efforts to improve their con dition, are not without effect upon them, is proved by the fact, gratifying to my self, that ? 'Mt on my way to Mississippi, by tho muicst of hundreds of negroes, bolides ray own laborers, to advise them what course to pursue in the approaching election there. I sm not ono of tho*-, who believe thal the more poMMutinn nf the rudiment? of education makes a poo pie stronger, better or hai>ni?>r ; "a hule learaing i: a dangerous thing," and un less moral education goes Land in hand with intellectual, the seeds of knowledge will bc sown on a barren soil, or will Sreduce but thorns and thistles ; but I o believo that in proportion as you make all labor, other vhau compulsory, intelligent, you render it profitable. If this be true, we should educate the mind, thc heat and the soul of the negro, look ing at tho question only in its material aspect and leaving out of consideration altogether those nigher and nobler mo tives which should prompt us to do so. A. longer experience of his new acquired freedom, and II?B acquisition of higher in telligence will teach him, not only bis dependence on the whites of the South, but the great truth which no laws can change, -"In every soil, That thone ?-ho think mutt govern thoM who toll." The old slaves of whom he sneaks, oc cupy his plantations upon the Mississippi. Several hundred in number-six or eight hundred, we havo heard-they have sever faltered in their fidelity to him. When the war was over and they were first made fully aware of their changed conditiou-freedom from slavery-free dom to go wherever they pleaded-they all, without an individual exception, de termined to remain with him. Thjy called upon bim, asking hip leave tit ro main and work for him us they had al ways done. Is not tn.:' a triumph ? lias a slave-owner ever, in thc history of the world, received such a tribute of loyalty and devotion? And why? Because he has been just and kind and truo, to them. We have now seen General Hampton as a boy noted for daring and generosity -as a legislator, truo to bis convictions of right aud humanity, although in a minority-as a private, ready-aa a Col onel, earliest in tho field-ai a General, SBrigadier, Major and Lieutenant,) brave, lashing, firm( mid invincible; whcthoi r'.?rshili?ijs u?visiona io victory, or lead ing an impetuous charge, or dropping a tear at the sido of a dying son on th< field as fighting on his. native soil ht leaves bis homo to thCpillnge and th? torch of a merciless foo-as sheathing hb ?wurd when the Conquered Bander wen' down in defeat-as a planter, returning to the pursuits of peaco-as a master counseling with his devoted Servants and as n man, in all situations, we bavi seen hiiu brave, just, earnest, courteous firm, merciful, aud in all things, ant above all, we have seen him manly nm truthful.

Dwty eo"ocis Kim %o Decline the Proffered Womiastton for Gsvernrr or Sew York. Wc give below Kx-Gov. Seymour's let ter declining the nomination of the D?m ocratie party for Governor of New York. He advances strong reasons for his action in this respe .% and arraigns in a masterly manner tho corruption and incapacity of tho Republican party, allowing that suc c?s* will be easy for the Democrats with any other candidate. Tho Convention was celled to ro-conveno in Saratoga upon the 12th inst, as soon as the letter was re ceived by tho Chairman. It is as fol lows : UTICA, September 4th, 1876. 7b D. Magone, L?q., Chairrnan State Committee : r?Y r>KAH SIR: The Democratic or g?a?utt??? which mei ?ase week, acting under misapprehension, put me in nomi nation for t tic ottice of Governor of tho State. This its members would not have done, if they had known facts regarding my health. For many reasouH I ought not to be thoir candidate. Duty demands that I should decline the proffered honor. While I am grateful for too friendly sen timents which prompted their action, my declination is compelled, by obstacles which I cannot overcome. ' For some months my health hns unfitted me for mental or physical exertion. My own opinion, con fir ru cu by thc judgment of my physicians, convincer me that I am unable at this time to per form the duties devolving upon tho Gov ernor of New York. I could cheerfully sacrifice my own purpose * and needs tc meet the wishes of my friouds. I would not hesitate to uphold those priuciplea in which I believe, or to promote tho public welfare ; but 1 feel that I should sacri fice the interests of thc party whict placed me in nomination if 1 should ac cept its action. Even the superior strengtii of the port) with wf '.ch I act could not elect a tickci with the known facts that its nomi aee for Governor was unequal to the per formance of the labors ot that office. J could not conscientiously enter upor .hem. I cannot do my friends thc wroni of placing them in false positions. J therefore feel constrained ta decline tin nomination. Whilo it is a great sorrou to me that I cannot on this occasion meet the wishes of those to whom I an deeply indebted for so many favors, ye I am satisfied that my action will o iib subject them to some present iuconvo nience. which in tho end, will prove U be to their advantage. It is not an unusual thing to have i vacanov upon the ticket, nor difficult V fill I;. *!f tho main action of the Conven lion will give confidence to our friend throughout the country, it removed th only cloud upon our political prospec! There was a fear that discord and aisoi gantzations in Dflinocrstic stronghold would peril tho success of tho State ah national tiokets. Thc difficulties areno* all adjusted. The nominees Were soled od with tho utmost harmony. Themen: hers scpavated with a confidence' of vi? tory. Unlike the rival Convention, thora wi no exultant majority, no wounded nr. humiliated minority. Tho candidate who were not placed in nomination wei not opposed for reasons reflecting upo the:: honer, or which were lasting' 1 their nature. Whilo tho Democrat party is emerging from ita embarras menta, its opponents are sowing the seec of bitter controversy and strife. Eve the agencies of a Presidential electio cannot restrain their harsh commen upon tho mon and measure o of their ow organization. I cannot think that the) is a doubt of tho result of tho pendln contest. The Republicans demand tl restoration of unqualified power ju a brauohes of the General Govornmep iud tills in face of much that is conderai ed hy thoughtful men of both parties. The change of Presidents will make t change with their' rilling minds, wit their pervading organization, with the osages or policy. The . Warp and wo ind texture of Republicanism will be tl same under tho Prt?tfc?^Ucy of Grant i Hayes. I wish to my nb unkind word either. The evils which afflict our ccu try, do not spring so much from gre corruption, for they can bo laid bare ai Suntaned, but from the moro subtle i ue'nccs of pervading waste and cxtrav ?junee. These will nover. bo correct except by the sh?!pcenflicSTof parties. Thc election of a Democratic House Representatives, hos led to many palnf jisclosurea, but no good citizen do'ut the value of theao ns checks to oiiici abuse. Many reforms have been attem ted bf the Republican officials, wbi they would not have dared'to enter up if their party had not been confr?ntela & Democratic House, which made c posuresthat compelled and : enabled I publican officials to punish graos wrooj Dees any fair-minded man doubt that all <:;?position to thc Tiepublicau party crushed ; that if c /cry : department placed ander its ccattxu : that thoso w bold extreme views will prevail in councils ?

Tho Republican speakers the canvass appeal to the passions their hearera in tho spirit which proa ted this rcvolutionaty scheme. It is tr that some of their journals protest agai it. They belong to that class which unheeded, except m times of great pi to their organization.

Stai?j lu ??u: dificrcni- districts, marks another measure of usurpation a'nd^mili tary force cn thc ???t?if??s?? TLmuuii win. ? spirators, who have resolved to retain posfcasiou of tho government at the point of tho bayonet if they cannot accom plish' their' purpose by virtue of honest votes. If anything can arouse tho people of this country to a sense of thc grave s> danger to which they aro no / exposed, of having their liberties destroyed by military power and tho strong mailed hand ol partisan despotism, these gradual advances made by Grant, towards the dragooning of the Southern States, should suffice to reach their torpid consciences j and dormant fears, and command prompt action to save the fragments of constitt' tionnl freedom, that remain intact by Radical spoliation. For thc order of Taft, carefully and reluctantly expressed as it is, amounts to plain notice to the oiuciuls representing tho United States military authority in thc different judi cial districts, that they aro in effect armed with unlimited power to call on tho sol diery, the militia and the general body of citizens, to carry into effect tho dicta tion of Radical committees, and force thc election of candidates who would bo defea ted if the popular will was left free and the polls were unchallenged hy tho naked sword. The proposition is a plain ono in ita effrontery and infamy, and worthy Jo. all respects of the infamous inspira tion which'has sent it forth; that tho hand which wields the bayonet Bhall su Ecrc"* the hand wherein the honest allot has been lodged ; nud that tho .?ninority which justifies Grantism may bo strengthened and seconded by the open aid of tho sword, against tho great popular majority which is ready to repu diate GrantiBtn, and whieh only asks a fair poll and un unterrified opportunity at tho polls, to reject Grant's candidates on tho 7th of November next. Great part of the infamy of this docu ment ot Taft's arises from the fact that it luis been deliberately issued in the teeth of n recent decision of the Supreme Court of thc United States, which pronounces the Enforcement law unconstitutional. That decision is, in effect, that tome parts of tho law mny bo in conformity, as others arc undoubtedly in conflict with, tho provisions and rcstaints of the consti tution ; but that the sound and unsound parts arc so intimately intermingled that thc court, had no recourse except to pro nounce the entire law null and void. The Attorney-General has tho hardihood to allude to this decision, and to say, in effect, that thc circular letter to tba mar- _ shals has been insued in full knowledge of tho purport of that lofty judicial rul ing. But, with cunning ? appeal to tho passious and issues of tho pant, which is tho sole weapon and recourse now remain ing to the Radical party, Mr. Taft en deavors to strengthen his Interpretation of the powers ot United States marshals, by citing decisions mado by Caleb Gush ing, when tho latter was tho Attorney 'Serierai Under a Doril?cratic administra tion, and when the question applied to tile arrest and remanding of fugitive alav?s 1 This is tho miserable subterfuge to which Radical leadership is reduced, in the absence of all law and justice, and in di root defiance of a recent clear decis ion of tho highest Federal court. Tho Attorney General'iattempts to bolster a bad case -by citing an ancient ruling which it would bo treason for anybody ciao to refer to, and which his own party and himself wouid bo equally prompt t> cite, under different circumstances, as an evidence of tho lawlessness and unscru pulousness, of the Democratic party and its officials of the pld rcgimo 1 ; But lt is not necessary ?nd it does not avaii, to discuss tho sbamoless character Of this latest Radical emanation. It moana war on ; t he peer im: ; it is a plain, j array of bayonets and thc drawn sword on ono side, against the honest voters on the other. What wili bc thc result of this martial order, worthy of Cromwell or Napoleon? and how ?mall ita danger-' 6ns cons?quences bo - avoided or preven ted? Wo hone people will not permit themselves to DO excited, and that there may be afforded as littlo pretext and oe cafiion. as possible for any intcrforcuco bit tho part of the marshal and his posse, * whet uer of soldiers or negro militia ; brit if this hopo is vain, and the poll s arc barricaded and tho votera dragooned, there is no courao open except to reface to vote altogether, and leave tho House of Representatives. to act with decision when .the Electoral College meets, and reject peremptorily tho vote of any. State thus secured.to thc Radical party, by thc uso of illegal power. If the Radical Senate should retaliate by the' rejection of Democratic States, wherein the ma jority for Mr. Tilden was honorably won. tho result will bo a failure ia elect, and tho.duty of making a President will then devolvo on tho Democratic House. Pos sibly Mr. Grant will sock to checkmate these measures of a people's faithful representatives to protect them in the exercise of their civil rights, by arresting tho Hottso and assuming for himself tho robes of dictatorship. So much has al ready been prophccled: that ho would never leavo tho white House alive ; that bayoneta had put him in and it would take bayonets to put him out.
