Governor Hampton has informed the
Superintendent? of the Lunatic Asylum
and the Penitentiary that he is ready to
provide means for the support of these
institutions, and bas directed these offi
cers to draw on bim for whatever amount? j
may be needed to relieve their preaaiag j
necessities. The Governor is euablod to
meet these demands by the prompt pay
ment in advance of several thousand
dollars by tax-payers in Charleston, who [
learned incidentally that such payment
would be acceptable for the purposes in? |
dicated.
The SUte Treasurer, F. L. Cardo/.., !
announces that the payment of interest
on the State bonds for January bas been
postponed to April 1st, on accouut of un
avoidable delay in th? collection of taxi s.
It ls no doubt consoling to bond-bolder*
to be told they must wait three mouths
longer for Interest whim they Lave al

no matter how great a success Mr. Cham

bloody ?birt politicians, it has been a
grand financial failure or a gigitttiv
swindle.

Col. D. Wyatt Aiken, in a brief ad
dress bi thc public, auiiouuces the de
mise of thc Rural Carolinian. This wit!
cause greut regret to ils friend* and well
wishers in every part of the State, but
the only raeann for its suspension is the
want of patronage from the farming com
munity. Col. Aiken aas made nrrnugo
menu to establish un agricultural depart
mont in the Charleston Ne?ssar.d Courier,
and the unexpired subscriptions of those
who patronized the Rural Carolinian will
be transferred to the books of the Arte J
and Courier. The agricultural depart
ment will be common to every edition of
that excellent paper, which, under the
guidance of Col. Aiken, will add greatly
to the already extensive reputation
achieved by its proprietor? in tho journ
alistic field. We wish them continued
prosperity.
The inauguration of Governor Drew
took place at Tallahassee on the 2nd
itu..., amid a general rejoicing of the peo?
pie, including white and colored. Chief
Justice Randall administered the oath of
office to the Governor and Lieutenant
Governor. The inaugural address of
Gov. Drew was brief and conciliatory,
guaranteeing full protection to all classe?
in the enjoyment of all the rights and
privilege? U?u?f the constitution and the
lawa of the United Sutes, osd tbs s??ts*
siasm with which this guarantee waa re
ceived by the assembled multitude gave
assurance that the Governor waa fully
supported in hb declaration. The Radi
cal vampires who have fattened upon th*
very life-blood of tho commonwealth,
and who had grown insoleut and over

from popular ?norn; have at last been
torn from their prostrate victim by the
might of an outraged people, and Florida

lion. Wm. A. Wheeler, the Republi

been interviewed by a newspaper re
porter in reference to recent statement
iiMii-j'rninaj bia nniitinn- H* deci?ll??"
that there cannot be any compromise, by
which Tilden would be made President
by the House and himself Vice President
by the Senate. He does not believe that
tho suffrage of tho American people can
be made tho subject of dicker or barter,
and asks what right any one has to fore
stall the constitutional settlement of the
question? now before the country by bar
gain, arrangement or compromise. Mr.
Wheeler lut?, perhaps, forgotten that th?
meagre repuUtion enjoyed by himself
before un. nomination at Cincinnati ?as
duo to a compromise measure known ra
the Wheeler Compromise, by which "the
suffrages of the American people" resid
ing in Louisiana "were made the subject
of dicker or barter." It is duo to him
that tho constitutional settlement of
affairs in Louisiana two yea? ago' waa
foresUllcd by bargain, .'^rangement or
compromise. Thia ia a matter of history.
Ho ia ?ot the man te gund the people'?

a free people-the ballot-box. It la coo*
soling, however, to note the complacency
vrUn which Mr. Wheeler expresses; his
.. .rillingncea to submit cheerfully to Berr
ing as Vice President under Mr. Tilden,
if he ia lawfully fleeted hy the House
after o. fallara to connt tao actual result.

aa follows C 1
I conceivo oar sitiiatlo? ta br critical
in tbe extreme. Our only xeluuice row
is upon tbe m?dtirattotf and patriotism of
Congress. If tbe repr?sentatives of tbe
peoplo and of tbe States shall not ba able
to make a peaceable ' and constitutional
solution of tbe difficulty io which tb?
country now finds itself and tbere suould
be au attempt, as bi threatened, to inaug
urate tbe candidates not fairly elect-*!,
one of two things will kapp**, either tb?
majority of tbe American ?.?opt? will
quietly submit to a great wrong, iuvolv
mg tba destruction of the Constitution ;
or, there will be a resort to violence.
Lot us look things io the face.
Tbe circumstance* of North Carolina
? aa well as of tbe Southern States goueral
! ly. imperatively demand that we should
I not be forward io this matter. Mon
than all things else, except good govern'
ment, we nov J peace in common with '.b<
constitutional party iu the North. W<
think t?e bav* fairly elected our candi
date for P.esideut. Upon that party
and not upon ourselves devolves thc pro
priety aou the duty of taking the need cc
steps*towards securing the rights of tb<
majority. But let it not be supposed tba
we are indifferent to their action or dr
cline to rome to tlie front becau?e len
entitled to do so than others. We bavi
been by the desolation of war purged o
revolution and sobered both by publi
calamity and n;.vate sorrow as we hav
seen. We vet cherish the lov* yf libert;
in o'?r hearts as the mouthpiece of mor
tha'j a million people.
\ believe I can, with propriety, say fo
them that North Carolina may confluent
I / be relied upon to sustain that portio:
of the people of the United States whicJ
shall convince us that lt ia struggling fe
the Constitution, the laws and publi
justice wbieh are tbe Ufe and soul of tb
American Union. On the one band, w
do not wish it to be understood that w
ar? ready or willing to embark in a rev<
lution, or on the other band that we ar
willing to quietly submit to any outrag
that physical force, directed by part
zeal, may see fit to impose. Tbe OE
courso tending to provoke violence an
the other to invite oppression. We win
it understood that we will follow the lea
of the constitutional men of tho Nortl

Lucius Robinson, the recently electc

ly about the threat* of tbe revolutionist
and shows a solid Appreciation of tl
great outrages and wrongs imposed upc
the Southern States by returning boan

A OIUHIVIC'ANT TELEGRAM "ffiOU

W?????KGTOK, JwSusry 7.
. lt will oe remembered that laut week
tb* Louisiana Hepablicao J>gislat<lrw
passed rftesol? s asking for military
protection sg?' apprehended Demo
cratic violence, .'bis resoiuiioo was tel
egraphed to tbt President and laid before
toe Cabinet last Tuesday, when it was
deemed proper tbat no action should be
taken upon it. But siuco that time Gov
ernor Kellogg, actuated by a like lear,
bas been telegraphing to the President to
th? same effect, and urging the recogni
tion by the President of the Republican
Governor and Legislature, as twe inaugu
rations would take place on Monday in
New Orl?s??. that ol Packard (Rep.) and
of Nichols, [Dem.) by their rejective
parties.
The President having prepared a re
ply to Kellogg*J application, called au
extraordinary veesion of the Cabinet to
day, at which, in order to iuform the
merni-HI? of bi* oroceediogs io the prem
ises and set iru harmonious action, the
roply was suomitted for consideration,
and having been unanimously approved,
it was this afternoon forwarded to Gov
ernor Kellogg, and the substance of it
Sven by the President himself *o Mr.
enright, the ager.t of the Associated
Presa, as follows :
"There will be two inauguration* of
Governor to-morrow, unless one of
thom ls prevented. I do not, however,
propose to interfere with them. I have
nothing before me to justify action in the
way of recognizing either Governor, and
therefore cannot do so, particularly as a
committee of each house of Congress is
now engaged io investie*':ng all the facts
nf the late election, incl* ig the contests
of the tun Governor? and tnt two Legisla
ture*, both claiming to be legally elected.
Under these circumstances, for me to
recognize one or the other would be bard
Iv justifiable, and I have so informed
Governor Kellogg."
The President further said that the
Democratic State Government Organiza
tion has the sympal ? of such portion ol
tb? people of Louisiana as have thc
means required to give sustenance to it,
and their Governor and Legislature would
be recognised, even if there were noi
half so many as there are now in the
Democratic party in Louisiana. Thc
President repeated that he would not in
terfere by recognising either governi jul
until the contest should be settled Iv the
investigation now in progress; but he
should consider it his duty to keep th?
peace should occasion require, and to pre
vent bloodshed pending tito political
complications.
In regard to receut publications as tc
the result of interviews with bim, thc
President said that be, like others, had
freely expressed his views regardiug thc
Electoral question, but had not said WIIRI
be would or uot would do, further than
that be should recognize bis successor
wboaisoever might be so legal iy declared
The President on being askuH what h<
thought of the Democratic mee tigs tb b<
held in various places, to-morrow, said
"They eeemed to be intended to iutimi
date the opposite party, and make capi
tal. The effect on the public mind e
the Nor;b would depend on the ch?mete
of the proceedings. The people were au
to be brought into submission by at
tempted intimidation. If the opeeche
delivered at these meeting? are' temperst?
aud moderate, advising conformity t<
law and Order, and acquiescence iu th<
decision to br? reached by Congress as tc
which Modid?te received the majority ol
the Electoral votes, the Democratic paru
might strengthen its position. Other
wise, a contrary' result might bc ex
pected."
