fjOT^mor Cli?niberlrJa'al Opportunity. (In verum Chamberlain stands to-day in n positiop ns criti?al aa lb at which he held when jhti ?nxer?d' ?6 fctatchouse, well nigh - two yenra rtgo.'as Ge vernor of South Carolina. Then tho question for him to answer was, whether he could live up to bia own words, uttered during tho campaign, or, as waa feared, make the wishes of the Pattersons, Bowens and Elliotts, infamous leaders of a corrupt party, tho rulo'|oj? his administration. Kow the <iuestion is, whether .Governor Chara uVrlapi jrWl ?bo thi^, ?or fabe, to every pledge of honest purpose, to every rebuke ?to public imbecility and denun ciation of -uiblic rascality, written or spoken byTiim, as a candidato for office and as Governor of thc State. And for him there is even more at stake than when he was ^^et^Q io the Executive chair. Then tko? people rad the country expected little or nothing. Should he fall nov; bc falls like Lucifer, never to risc again. When Mr. Chamberlain accepted the Republican nomination for Governor, in 1874, he was urgent in bia demand that thc party woulif see to it that the candi dates for County offices and thc Legisla ture were persons of diameter and intel ligence, who would co-operato with him in effecting tho genera! nnd special re forms promised in the Republican plat form. Tho principal State officers, elec ted in 1872 for four years, held over, .<nd there was no opportunity of making an improvement there. Governor Cham berlain was well aware that the clique of ] wire-pullers who nominated him, and elected him, expected L;m to be a plient tool in their hands; their subtle and in fluential confederate, if not silent partner, in every rel?eme of public plunder. Nevertheless, he appealed to them to nominate candidates who would make Republicanism respectable, and whole sale scaling impossible. It was a waste of time. Tho legislature elected when Mr. Chamberlain wa* elected was, in point of ability arid virtue, the worst the State had ever seen. It had no redeem ing quality, as a body of Radicals, and wa? convincing proof that tho single ob ject of thc sounding phrases of the party platform was the cajoling of unwary voters. Governor Chamberlain, backed by tho Conservatives in the Legislature and by Conservative public opinion, opposed a steadfast front to thc gang ai thieves whom Patterson counselled' and Elliott led. In his dealings with tho Legisla ture, Governor Chamberlain's principal error lay in making occasional conces sions to thc unscrupulous majority, with the hope of thereby securing thc passago of measures imperatively demanded by the public good. The motive was praise worthy ; the effect was bad. Any sur render to roguery, for whatever reason, is a loss of moral force. Again mid ?gain the corruptibriistfl triumphed ; and the head-centres of rnscnlity were tho Elliotts and Bowens, whoie culminating crime was the work of tho memorable "Black Thursday," when Whipper and aloses, ra far as thc Legislature could accom plish it, were elected to the Circuit Bench. Tho energy of Governor Cham berlain's condemnation of this and other like outrages brought to his ??ide. the wholei bodyj(of}???.iServativo citizens^ and/ won for5 him tito commendation or good , ,"M.1.> ....n?.....l.~- T\_I:I_. - i - is . peopis c. c.j .? ?.v?v. uoiiuci?iicijr 'jov ernor Chamberlain too. his stand against thc knavish leaders of his party.

Tho General Assembly at length ad journed, and tho work ol preparation for tho coming election began. UKc&sed by the partisan tone and tetn*>or of thc let ters pf Governor Chamberlain concerning the. Hamburg riot, and satisfied that the Republican party was incapable of puri fying itself, the Democracy, with reluc tance on tho part of thousands, decided to nominato a full State ticket. Mr. Chamberlain, with somo hesitation, de termined to bo a candidate for renomina tion, and with the aid of Patterson, whether spontaneous or sought, bo re ceived the nocessary vote. Upon accept ing thc nomination, as. ho.han dono in 1874, he entreated tho Convention to put nono but honest und competent Repub licans on th?'tick?fc. ' Tho answer of thc Convention waashs nnanimou? nomina-' lion of Elliott for tho office of At torncy GeneVal, followed by trie nomination of Bowen as Presidential Elector for the State at large, and of Cain and Buttz for Congress. These persona, with others on tho ticket, aro the very crew against whom Governor Chamberlain has de clared war, and with whom he is bound never to make peace. In addressing the Couvontion, boforo theso nominations had been made, ho saidyqur nomination of mo ison endorsement of my administration, aa I understand it to be, then you aro bound to ace to it that tho ticket aimil bc in har mony with such reform. If it is not, if I am not surrounded by auch men. it will be a-$ij[fal^qU/^r*;$or meto aetcrmiffe whether ii urta be tbrrtirwhUefif'ihe lo un dertake to carry on the canvass." The State officers who, in response, were norn* muted, are not in harmony with auch re form ; their interests aro on tho aide of i {"obbery and debauchery by which they lave lived these eight Tsars. Tho^ ana their followers caused tho miscarriage of j the chief reform measures proposed by Governor Chamberlain and by tho Con servative members of the . <egislatu?*c. And as mo State candidates aro, so will bo tho candidates for tho General Assem bly. Governor Chamberlain knows, he cannot close his eves against it, that his election, with Elliott as Attorney-Gen eral, with Patterson as tho power Behind the throne, and with a Legislature mado up of tho minions of Swells, Whittemorc and Jones, will make the State tho help less prey of tho most unscrupulous crew cf trained public plunderers that thia country has over known..

Daring Attack upon a rtfluiiesots Town-Pa rile H lars of thc Tragedy, Au attempt was made on tho 7th inst to perpetrate a bold robbery Ul North field, Minnesota, in open daylight, in which eight desperadoes made an attack upon tho officers of thc bank, and for t time openly defied the inhabitants of tin town. The graphic description beloti will give some idea of the terror dud con ! sternation of tho people. The accoun I opens ?itb the atoiy of Mr. Wilcox, ai I offirier of the bank, who says : Mr. Heywood occupied thc cashier' seat at the desk, which you see nt thc em of tho counter. Mr. Bunker aud roysei occupied seats at tho desk, Mr. Bunko being nearest the opening at tho come The first thing wo knew the three mei wero upon oe over the counter, with re volver? presented nt our heads, one o them exclaiming, "Throw up your bundi1 for we intend to rob thc bank, and if yoi hallo ne will blow your (J- d- brain out," and wc could not do otherwise thai comply. They asked which was thc cashier, t which Mr. Heywood replied : "Ho i not in." They then sprang over th counter and demanded thc safe to b opened. Addressing euch in turu the said, "You aro the cashier," which wn denied. .Seeing Heywood scated nt th cashier's desk, one of thu ruffians wen up to him with his long narrow-barrele pistol and said : ' You arc tho cashier now open the sitfc, you- son t n -." Mr. Heywood said : "It is time lock and cannot hu opened now. One of thc men then went into tho vaut tho door being open, also the outer don of the safe. Heywood nt onco sprm forward and cloded, tho door of the vaul nbuUiiig Lou rubber in, when another * the mon seized Heywood by thu colli nod dragged him away from the doc and released the incarcerated robber. Thu man who canto, out of tho vault it slim, dark complexioned ?nan, with black moustache, then called to theothi to seise the silver that was lying aroun looso (about -MG) and put it in tho sad They did not do this, but seized aboi $12 lu scrip and put it into a two-bush flour sack which they had with thee Tbs dark complexioned man who ?' pearcd to be tho leader, then again a tacked ll;-?wood, insisting upon h opening tbs safe, threatening to' cut h th rout if he did not, and actually dru* ing n-big knife across his thront. Tl heroic and faithful tellor, however, w not tobo deterred.from his duty, at would tallier sacrifico his life than betri bis trust. Scmofew moments-it seem* nges to the bcwiltl jrod and torror strickt Viketrsvour-wqro spent, tn Heywood struggling to break awi?y''fr?m the mu derous villain and gain his liberty, i j length ho broko away, and, regaining li foot, he ran towards the door, cryit "Murder." j Tho limn at onco struck him with' pistol and knocked him down, and draj fing him to the safe door command! im to open it. But the intrepid ciel stolidly refused, when the villain idiot i him, but did not bit a. Evidently tl shot was intended U. intimidate rath iban" to injure, but the scoundrel bi reckoned without his host, for tho ede was lost upon Heywood. But upon tl discharge of tho pistol Bunker mado start for the back door and ran for dc Ufo, one of tho robbers pursuing at firing, the shot tabing effect iu tho shot der. Bunker, however,' reached tl street (Water street) and ran to E Coombs' ofSce. During tho whole of this time four five men were riding up and down tl street shooting in every direction ai keening up an incessant fusiiadc. Ol of tue men outside came riding un f ricualy and called for the men to lea tho bank. "Tho gamo is up," ho sai "and wo arc beaton." Almost immediately th^' took tl alarm and somehow jun., il over t! counter, making their exit. The smi niau was tho last to go. He mounted desk at the front, and as bo turned to ? fired and shot at Hoy wood, which I i not think is tho one that took effect. Heywood dodged behiud bis desk or sai into his chair, (Hoywood's desk stands right angles to tho bank desk, and Bank sideways to thc opening at the froi with his back next to tho wall,) and the robber mado over the desk railing turned, and placing his revolver to He wood's head, fired, shooting him dead. He staggered forward and fell bein tho counter. The robbers made out the door. I do 'not remember mu more that followed. Wilcox was not euro * bother tho ri fian' struck Heywood when tho lat staggered to tho cashier's chair, and did not stop to seo if he was dead wb he fell. He said tho reason he did i try -to get out or help Heywood .was tl one bf the mou stopcf over him with pistol in hi? hand. Tho statement of Mr. G. E. B?tes, w witnessed that part of the a?alr vrb? occurred in tho streets, is interesting Mr. Bates said that about ll o'clock attention was called to four men n carno from over tho river. They ca over the bridge and wero mounted four splendid horses. Tho men w well dressed,' '?tid Mr. Bates says fi nobler looking fellows be navet ?aw *, there was a reckless, bold swagger au them that ncoraed to indicate that tl would be rough and dangerous fellowi handle. , Altogether he did not Uko looks of them. Again, at about 2o'cl in the afternoon? ns her was standing the store? talking to Mr. O. C. Walde commercial traveler from Council Blt ?'tos?i?'?ii^ one down street* meeting within th feet.of tho batik. They di?ter anted j tied their horse? to tpo hitching pc and two came down the staircaselead up into the upper stories of Lee & fill cock's tu?.'dings, and bare the/ st leaning ugainst the totalsten? tafkini Ooftsmetrtisg apea their floe phyil tho far .end of the store to lookover, m ?ampio trusses. They had not long t oo. oninjdcd >wben tiley beard oev f hots Aretela jrnpid succession* and Vhe thought?l?sfitvj upou the mind of; li?tes at ouco that tho hank was in danger Mr. Waldo stating that he cried out, "Them mci arc going for the town, they mean to rob thc bank," nlthough Mr. Bates docs not recoiiect saying anything, ho became so excited, lie remembers, however, rushicg to the door, sud seeing some mop ride up troc? thc bank ; tiley came riding towards him with long pis tolt; in their hands, and called out, "Get in there, you ?on of a b-." r Mr* Uetoi ?t-oueo seized e. shot gun and :J?nB'd*ckiio tee door, bu} tim gun would hitifek A-: Hu dieu, (midden thu gtui and seized a fine seven-shooter, which was not loaded, and us thc men caine down again, (they were riding to ?nd fro, evlii&ntiy intent upou keeping people from tho bank,) he standing behind the door-jams, called out, "now I've got you, and pointed thc empty pisto", as if drawing a bead on? them. Tb/-/ turned their horse* sbi]t1e!>]y. and fired at Mr. Bates, tito ball crushing through the plate glass. This ruse ho practiced over and over again with the same effect. There were other men at the bank firing down the Htrect. The next he saw waa Mr. J. 8. Allen running down the street from the bank, and two shots were fired at him. Mr. Mann?iig, of Mill Square, whose store is in thc same block as thc bank, next came upon tho scene. He ran out of his store with a Remington repeating rifle, and took a deliberate aim and fired from the corner, Mr. Hates calling out, "j^ump back now? or they'll get you." Next Mr. J. B. Hide came up with a double-barreled shot-gun and discharged thc two barrels, and retired lo reload. Tho Kev. l'hilipps also took n turn nt thc scoundrels, and L. Stacey delivered a cool, deliberate nim. Mr." Hates next heard a report over his head ami saw quo of thc desperadoes fall from bis horse. Thc horse made a faltering plungo forward and thou suddenly slopped, and the man pitched over on his face to thc ground and in a few mo ments was dead. This shot was fired I)} Henry Wheeler froiy au odd., emiline from out oce of tho windows of the Dan pier House, from thc very room in which this roporl is written. Mr. Mannii.g was still firing, and, as he crept to the corner rn fire, Mr. Waldo called, "take good aim before you fir?." 1 inmediately after this shot one of tho horses started up the street, mid thc rider beean to reel and Hway to and fro, und suddenly fell to the ground just opposite El ridge's store. .Another horseman immediately rode up, dismounted and spoke to the .. prostrate mau, who was stretched out at full length, supporting himself on his outstretched arms, when he rolled over on his back. Then the othor man took from him his cartridgebolt and two pistols, and. re mounting his horse, rodo off. Another hor?omnn, finding Mr. Man ning's lire too hot, dismounted from his horse and got on the opposite side of it for protection, when an unerring ball from thc Remington brought tho horse down, the mun running behind some boxes which were piled beneath the stair case before mentioned, and now ensued n lively fusilado between this fellow and Manning, the scoundrel keoping himself well under cover. Hut a ball from Wheeler's musket struck the fellow in thc leg, half-way : above thc knee. Ho at once changed his pistol to thc left hand and grasped tho wounded limb with the right, still trying to get at Manning, i r indintr himself goltirig weak he turned" I and Umped ofr up thc street, hut seeing I Hates with n pistol in his hand tic sent a I bail whizzing towards that gentleman, ?razing tho side of his cheek and the ridgo of his 11090 and burying itself in a collar box in the store. Mr. Bates saya he feels the ring of that ball in bis car still, and the ball, he says, he will ever kce;: as a souvenir of tho hottest day Northfield over saw. The man limped away as he got oppo site to Mr. Morris' stare, when ho cried out to his retreating companions : "My God, boys, you uro not going to leave me I am shot." One of the party riding a sorrel horse with a light tail and mane turned and took tho wounded man up be hind bim, A Swede, .who evidently understood but little English, was passing down the street. He was ordered to stop, but paid no attention, and ono of tho horsemen firedivsbflt which inflicted a wound upon his head, which-was riot believed to be serious, hut this afternoon tho doctors fear that ho cannot recover.
