TrfllBSOAV MORNING, JAM. 18, 1877.
Governor Hampton, sn a conversation
with the reporter- of the Charleston
Journal of Commerce, took occasion to
refer to an article in the Augusta Chron
icle dad-Sentinel, charging him with a
lack of-fealty to Tilden, and stating that
he(was.in favor of giving over the Tilden
electors of i\ha fetate., 'jflje Governor de
nies having entertained any. audi idea,
and says he would only" have counte
nanced such arrangement at the request
of Northern Democrats. He used his
influence to prevent any such action by
the party in the State. In addition, he
stated that a proposition was made by
the Republicans after election, for him
publicly to acknowledge Haye*' Electors
in this Stnt'', the prniiojdtiojl nci/ig ne
com painui by a pro ' ?ai, .-.muai , ti
do so, tbe troops Woubl ui withtlrawu and
he recognized as Governor, nnd that he
positively refused to accede. Governor
Hampton further Buys, if he thought that
his withdrawal now or at any time would
have insured Tilden's inauguration, he
would not have hesitated a moment, but
would promptly withdraw.
Ono of the most remarkable railroad
uccidonts upon record occurred last
Thursday cn tho Chesapeake and Ohir
Railroad, as the eastern bound express
train was passing along the mountain
aide, a few miles west of tho White Sul
phur Springs. It was going at the rate
of about thirty miles an hour when the
entire train jumped the track, and the
coupliug of tho rear first-class coach
snapped in two, and tho coach went roll
ing over and over down the declivity-a
diatanco of thirty feet-to tho Grcenbier
River, where it was lodged upon the ice,
completely' wrecked. Every ? ' window
frame, scat and door was splintered into
a thousand fragments, and nothing .was
left of the cor except the iron work,
which was bent and mutilated. Out of
twenty-five passengers, strange to say,
none were killed and only eight wounded
-one seriously. A little girl four years
of age was taken irom under tho wrecked
coach, not injured in the slightest degree.
By joining hands together, tho officers
of tho railroad train managed to pull the
passengers, one by one, bock to the levol
of the track, from whence they were car
ried to White Sulphur Springs, where
tlic iujured were attended by surgeons.
The decision of Judge Reed in the case
of Willimnn va. Ostendorff, touching the
election of county officers on the 7th of
November last, is decidedly the ablest
and strongest presentation of the argu
ment on that side of tho question yet
brought to light. His reasoning ia clear
and cogent, and the conclusions are dis
passionately set forth by which tho opin
ion is reached that the election of county
officers, except as to County Commission
ers, was'without warrant of law, and is
therefore void. This decision . is con
trary to the judgment expressed and en
tertained by many of the lending lawyers
in the Smtp, while it hos the sanction of
en equal or greater number who are just
os eminent in the profession. Tho ques
tion will bo carried by appeal to the Su
preme Court, whose final adjudication
may bo expected nt an early day. Th;
whole trouble in regurd to the disputed
?lection nf county cf?cer??. arises from tho
fuct that the statute law of the State has
been tinkered at by incompetent legisla
tors, who scarcely knew their own minds,
and were utterly unfit to give the people
uniform legislation and homogeneous gov
ernment. It was undoubtedly the gen
eral understanding among the voters that
the amendment to the State Constitution,
which changed the general election from
October to November, was intended to
bring about only ono election every two
years, ami"thu preamble to that amend
ment as it was submitted to the people
proves1 that such was the intention. The
inconvenience on the ene hand and econ
omy on tho other furnished the argument
for altering thc organic law pf the. State,
so as to conform with the iaws of the
United States, and tho /allure to make
the statuto law-consistent therewith can
only bo explained bu the hypothesis sug
gested-ignorance und incompetency.
tonally can be noted glenina of
common sonso even among partisan jour
nals of tho Republican persuasion, und'
passing r?vents'forco them jto< give recog
niiieu io existing facts in the Southern
States. The demonstration in. New Or
leans 'ant week-which resulted, io the
conipleto overthrow of Packard, the Rad-1
ical, claimant for , Gqvejiior, without tho
slightest pe non al violence being inflicted
upon tho vilest and most obnoxious poli

More 'than usual im portante "his been
aUached Jachis term of Court in oonis
quenco of the intense interest manifested
in the trials of the murderers of Riley,
near Greenwood, and of Clayton Allon,
at Lowndeaville. These were more than
ordinary murders, both as to the number'
of persons charged with their commis-,!
sion and the horrible circumstance? con- |
nected with their perpetration.
THE GBEBXWOOD MUHDE*,
aa it is termed, was, fo sum it op briefly,
committed under the following cucum
stance*: Riley, u surveyor, wua camped
near tht- house of a colored mun named
lilnMM?i Jones, whither he went to get
some chickens, and being refused he
commenced and shot three of them. The
next morning his body wes found about
seventy yards from tbe house with a fear
ful contusion upon the back of the head,
a jaw boue broken, and a gun shot wound
in the abdomen. The matter.waa inves
tigaUd, and before the inquest. Bluford
Jones denied the killing or carrying away
of the body, and stated that two women
living with him carried it. off. They tes
tified that hh son did the killing in self?
defense Upon the trial of the case all
' thc parties-father, son und two women
-were upon trial, and agreed in saying
that Bluford did the shooting after he
badi been shot at, and that he alone car
ried off the dead body, after striking one;
lick with his.gun. Tho prisoners were
ably represented by Messrs. Burt
Thompson and thc State by Col. Coth
ran. The jury, which was composed of
four white and eight colored men, ofter
au absence of several hours, brought in
a sealed verdict against Bin ford Jones for
manslaughter and acquitted the others.
The testimony developed in
THE IX>WNDE8VILLE MUBDER
differed from the facts published by the
Intelligencer in. only two particulars.
There was no evidence of any intention
to burn or murder promiscuously., Os
borne Rhodes wan hot taken out of thc
oallaboose by tho murderers, but bad
agreed to more to Georgia and not to
come back to this State if the whites
would release him from the peace war
rant aud give him safe escort to the
Georgia line. Under this agreement
Messrs, Allen and Baker were going with
him to nee him over the line without
harm, and when they came to the party
in ambush, Rhodes was riding sumo dis
tance behind, so there was no danger sf j
his getting hurt. It ia generally believed
that he knew of the plot, though no evi
dence of it was elicited. There were
twelve prisoners ?rivd for tbs crime,
Messrs. McGowan, L. W. Perrin, W. C.
Bonnet and M. P. DeBruhl were appoin
ted by the Court to defend the prisoners,
who performed that service with zeal and
unusual ability. There were thirteen
witnesses for the State and the same
number fur the defense. Two of the
murderers, John and Henry Burton,
turned State's evidence, and their testi
mony was the positive proof in the case.
Twelvo of the witnesses for the dofenso
Were parties charged with tho crime.
After occupying the days of Friday and
Saturday tho trial was concluded, and
Judge Cooke deliver?l an exhaustive and
impartial charge, in which he condemned
the course of interfering with parties in
the hands of the law under any circum
stance'./, and warned the colored people
that it was to their interest to? check tho
disposition of many of them tc take one
of their race out of the hands of the offi
cers of the law. The case was submitted
to a jury of four white and eight colored
men, and at G o'clock Sunday morning
they brought in a verdict of "Guilty of ]

the members were assured would throw

posure of the true character ot the swift

associates. Iii truth, thc conduct of
Chfi-ihnivy and Cameron proved ihm
they were more intent upon arranging a
plan for Corbin to get his seat in the
United States Senate than they were to
ascertain the truth, and for Ibis reason
they permitted the most malignant stories
lignum! Geo. Huiler, without giving him
a chance to icfute the statements of in
credible witnesses. The Radical wit
nesses were allowed the widest latitude
in giving testimony, while thc Demo
cratic witnesses were held to the strictest
rules of evidence. Not much is known,
of course, as to the exact nature of the
testimony adduced and recorded oneithci
side, but the evidence- of Judge Cooke
and Ex-Governor Chamberlain are giver
by th? newspaper reporters.
Judge Cooke teslifieU that, in a cou
vcrsation with him, Corbin remarket
that the white people weald carry tin

that Corbin bad said some cases wool

lowed to testify.

INDIANAPOLIS*, January 8.
The great event of this notable anni
versary here has been the unprecedented
assemblage of Democrats from all parti
of the State to declare in mass conven
tion thc sentiment of Indiana upon the
Presidential complication. The conven'
tion assembled immediately after the in
nuguration exercises in the Academy o
Music, the largest hall in the city, wliicl
was crowded to its utmost capacity
Every county waa represented, many o
the most distinguished men of the Stat?
being present. The private discussioi
among the delegates was free, and tin
conclu-tions reached were temperate bu
finn. All rash, measures were depre
cated, but an unwavering detcrminatioi
was evinced to insist upon a fair coun
and the seuting of tue President an?
Vice President fairly elected by the vot
of the people. The convention wo
called to order about 1 o'clock by Gen
eral Maldon D. Manson, of Crawford*
ville, Chairman of the Democratic Stat
Central Committee, who made a brit
speech, in which thc most striking re
mark was the advice to tho convention t
knock down any hired Republican wh
should hurrah for JefT Davis in thc cor
ventiou. The roll was called by Ruft

David S. Gooding, of Greenfield, wt
then made permanent Chi. nan, an
made u speech of half an hour, whic
was frequently interrupted by applaus
notably so when he declared that shoul

gcrpctrated by tho President of tl

Republicans in the Senate, it would I

our liberties and our lives.
A committee on resolutions was a
pointed, consisting of one from each d:
trict, with Bayles3 W. Hanna, of Ter
Haute, as Chairman. Tho formal orga
ization being completed, the speaker
the day, George W. Julian, wnB inti
doced and spoke two full hours, whi
the whole assembly listened with t
closest attention, only broken by in
prcssible cheers.
Mr. Julian was followed by Bayless \
Hanna, who in reporting the reoolutioi
made extended remarks. The featv
recoived with the most applause was j
personal reference to Senator Morton,
which he asked : "Why did Morton i:
mediately go to California after India
was lost in October? A great battle vi
then raging here for thc Presidential i
oendancy. Why was not bis . famili

His mouth is full of excuses, I knot

Morton's good shepherd mission' out

Hanna'L speech he read tho resolutio
which wt"" leceivcd with applause fi
unanimously adopted.
The resolutions cull upon Congress
provide a plan for counting thc electo
vote, declar? ilia* the two Honscs ah
have tho power to count and not I
President of the Senate, and if the Sen
shall claim such power for its presid
officer,.they then call on the House
exert all ita constitutional powers to
feat such action.
Mr. Hanna was followed by Dai iel
Voorhees, in bis most eloquent and i
pressivo vein. Referring to tho duty
thc parly, lie said in conclusion : '
the proper lime we will hear the roi?
our leader i n\ as ho fiuds his path
duty before him, sc we will most Hk
find ours, ana as he leads in thc discha
of his great duties Indiana will foll

resolution :

OHIO DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. '
Au Immense and Enthusiastic Cather
? lng-Spirited Hesotutlous.
The Ohio Democratic State Convention
met in the city of Columbus on the 8th
of January. It was one of tho most re
markable assemblages evor witnessed in
thc West, not only in point of numbers,
but in thc character of the men compos
ing it The leaders and representativo
meu had been coming iu for several days,
but the magnitude of the gathering was
not appreciated fully until the day for
meeting. The terrible snow-storm which
prevailed throughout the State for forty
eight hours previous did not damper the
ardor of tho Ohio Democracy in the
slightest degree, and eat ly in thc day
regular and special trains over all the
nine railroads centreing in Columbus
began emptying their loads of enthusias
tic and earnest Dem?crata into the city.
As many of the trains were detained by
the storm, the hour of meeting was
changed, in order to give all who might
come an opportunity to participate in
the entire proceedings. By twelve o'clock
nit less than five thousand people had
arrived, and at the hour of calline the
Convention to order the large City Hall
was packed full, while hundreds were
unable to secure admission. The Con
vention waa called to order by John G.
Thompson, Chairman of the State Exec
utive Committee, and a temporary organ
ization was effected by electing Gen. A.
J.. Warner to preside over its initial de
liberations. On assuming the duties of
. the chair, Gen. Warner addressed tho Con
vention at some length on the issuui be
fore the country, and declared bis unfal
tering belief that Tilden and Hendrick?
were legally elected and must be inaugu
rated. His speech was frequently inter
rupted with applause. The usual com
mittees were then constituted, consisting
of ono delegate from each Congressional
District, and telegrams were directed to
be sent to the various conventions in ses
sion iu other States.
A recess was taken until half-past two
o'clock,, at which time the Convention
re-assembled. The hall and gallery wero
jnmmed as never. be/ore,. andmany were
unable to get in. ?Th? Committee on
Credentials reported every'county in.the.
State represented, making it. the largest
convention of regular, delegates ever held
in Ohio. Thc Committee on Permanent.
Organization reported Gen. Dublin Ward)
for President, with ope Vico President
and Secretary from each Congressional
District. Oa assuming his position os
the presiding officer, General Word ad
dressed the Convention at length, review
ing the situation fully, nnd maintaining
that Samuel J. Tiki en, the legally elected
President, munt be inaugurated?
The Committee on Resolutions sub-,
raitted thc following series of resolutions,
which were received with unparalleled
enthusiasm, and adopted amid a scene of
tumultuous applause :
1st. That the - Government pf tho
United States ia Republican: in spirit: sa.
I well as in form ; it is a governemnt of
j law, not of arbitrary forcer; it/, if funded:

and sincero obedience.to tho laws.. ,
2nd. That the votes cost on. the 7th of
November, and duly certified at the close
of tho election on that day by tho officers
authorized to receive and record them,
ulono determined the result of the elec
tion held in any precinct, county OF State,
and that whatever may be the returns
then duly and properly certified, they.
caquot lawfully be changed by,any officer
authorized to canvass them and announce
the result. , , i (!.
3rd. That while clear in theconviction
that, Samuel J; Tilden, and Thomas A.
Hendrick:: have received not only a large,
majority of ..the popular .vote, but
a majority of .the. electoral vote, and are
therefore, elected President and Vice
President, wc yet declare..that any decis?
ion,made by tho Senate:and House of
Repren.tatives will be cheerfully ? afs
quiesced in by the whole people, and that,
any attempt to .inaugurate a ?resident
simply upon the. proclamation, of the
President.of tho Senate will be. an oct

i people to the last oxtremity, even should,

", 4th. That the impudent and unfounded,
charge that those who protest against the
.exercC", of. illegal anti arbitrary powers
desirae to foment strife and incite, civil
fway if .made by conspirators, toi withdraw
? thc public . mind.?from their own, evil
?.design, to frustrate tho sovereign will of
the people a? expressed through the bal

quick, and lucid replies of Gov. Grover
completely, disarmed t[?s??thg?uisf. ! ?le
showed that his decision had "ocr^ care
fully cnihpllcd alt?? arguments ?T?c? u?cu
heard on both sides of the case, and WM?
bafced'upon his own judgment as a law
yer. ill? replies were pointed and showed
a thorough knowledge of the law anti
precedents bearing ou thc case, oven
quoting one front Morton's owu State to
sustain blH point*. Morton's endeavors
to entrap Governor Grover were in all
instances unsuccessful, .TI the latter
showed that the duty of givjng commis
sions and certificates of election are po';'
Utica! and the responsibility rests alone on'
the discretion of the Executive as'a con
servator of the constitution. He regard
ed the Constitution of thc United btates
as paramount when any conflict" was dis
covered between its provisions and those
of tho Oregon Constitution, ond he liad
been governed by that opiuion in certi
fying to Cronin's election.
" He explained Mr. Patrick's visit, on
which great rttrcis had been luid by Mr.
Morton) to have peen ono ot simple
courtesy, not lasting hiore than ten min
utes, ana he was unable to recollect.Mr.
Patrick's remarks, being engrossed in
business at the time. Governor Grover
baa been the Executive of Oregon, since
1870, and a resident of t'.ntState, for
twenty-live years, and is thoroughly con
versant with tho Statuts laws .of (hut
State, .When the vote'o? the State was
canvassed by th? Secretary orState, Gov
ernor Grover gave notice that a protest
had been filed against granting a certifi
cate of election to Watts, and a counter
protest was received from the .Republi
cans. AU who desired were heard in
relatiot to ti.' ubjectond the discussion,
wbich was continued for an entire day
and evening.,, Tho next mprping Gov
ernor Grover issued certificates to the
three persons who had received tho high- j
est number of votes and were eligible
under the Constitution. His authority
for this action was not based upon the
Statute laws of Oregon, but upon the
COM ititution of tho United State?.
'Io the coiirae of the testimony, ,Goy.
Grover explaired satisfactorily the re
ceipt of communications and telegrams
from prominent lawyers and statesmen
bearing on the subject of the electoral
vote,- and emphatically denied thc knowl
edge of any transfer of money from New
York for election purposes. The entire
examination was a succession of defeats
for Morton, wbo showed his nervous anx
iety at his failure to carry out his scheme,
aaa he finally declined to contiuue the
investigation, while his colleague, Sena
tor Mitchell, was absent, and covered bia
retreat by postponing inquiry. Gov.
Grover's dignified and manly hearing hoi}
attracted much attention in congressional
circles, and has already won him a num
ber of friends, who thoroughly sustain
him in the course he pursued ip the mat
ter of the electoral vote.
Ju DOE COOKE ON TREASON.-Judge
Cooke, in his recent charge to the grand
jury of Abbeville Couuty, at the special
terr., of thc Circuit Court, brought forci
bly to their attention the crime of treason
against the State government. Thia, hp
said, was well defined in all law books,
and ita punishment provided for; and
although ;-it has been lost sight of
for thc post fifty years, it should
be unearthed on all proper occasions.
The grand jury were told to inquire
whether an assembly of persons had nut
lately assumed to themselves the right to
perform certain duties under the laws of
the State, and had conspired to over
throw thc legal government of the State
by. seizing upoc nil her papers, and sub
verting the will of the people that had
been lawfully expressed* If they found
that such an assembly-of persons had
been arrayed in a military manner for
the purpose of intimidating and over
awing the public, their action was treason,
although co engagement had taken
place, and it was the duty of the grand
jury tp.find . them guilty of treason, and
to present them for indictment.
Judge Cooke also alluded to the proc
lamation of his then, excellency D. H.
Chamberlain, which . stated thatccrtain
organizations and combinations of men,
were engaged.*^prompting? illegal ob
jects joiioju committing open, acts qf law
lessness...and violence .throughout the
Slate., Ho churgcd the grand jury, that,
if they found the allegations made'in thc
proclamation did not apply to the people
of Abbeville County, but "were false, ae
famP)t9,ry arid libellous," they bhould so
present;, them. a7hc, then Chief Execu
tive being the highest officer of tho State,
should not have libeled . the people of
South, Carolina, except upon unquestion
able testimouy, nud tbegrand jury should
deal as.fairly and honestly with him us
with themselves, and if his charges were
found to. be, untrue, they*could indict
bim for libel.
