THE COMMISSION AND ITS CONSE QU KN ( ES. We were never among thc ardent nd mirer* of the Electoral CommissiT ?eherne, and, although it paved but] Houses of Congress amid a perfect whirl winil of popular approbation, itcontninc fcatnres calculated to alarm thc olwen ?mt mind by threatening thc destructio of thc constitutional providion for di daring the Presidential election. Th hill set nt defiance all the precedent* c tho past century, and launched tho erat of State upon untried waters amid th groatest storm of political passion an prejudice which has ever stirred th American mind or blunted tho America conscience. It wa? a dangerous ex per ment, and viewed in ita moat favorabl aspect was but a compromise, and its ri ault shows to the country additional cv dence of thu misfortunes which folio from a compromise of political priocipl It forms another of the unfortunate coi cesdons which have been made In ot nation'* history, and as usual tho Soul has boon thc prominent party in tho ni justtnent. In the Missouri Compromis of which tho illustrious Clay was tl champion and author, South cm men coi coded what they termed a compromiso tho slavery question by the torras which slavery wa? prohibited to e>i north of a fixed geographical line.

We wish to argo our people to continue to support the Kamptoj^afernifoi^ for' by so doing they will turetydrtve tt*rp< Atioo sod tyranny from Qtrolina'd^oil. Because we have lost Tilde? ns President, if such be the case ' in no reason wfay we should also lose Hampton ss Governor. Indeed, the fact that th? Republicans are lo bare tho Presidency would rendo?, it - ? cveu more important for u* to bave the Governor.' If Harbpton wai desirable for .mr Governor under Tilden es- President, he is absolutely necessary to us und?.r the Pr?sid? ucy of Hay cu. There roust be uo lualliug in thia State before the rank? of the enemy. We have elected hnd in stalled tbe government of our choice, sud ws .must and will protect und sustain it. All persons wbo have not jrcl paid ten per cent, of their last yeats tax. should as patriots lit ?bce como forward and lend their might to fortify the government of law and honesty t gainst the attempted continuation of tyranny and corruption. The amount U small, and overy person can apare lt for tho sske of securing for himself ?nd neighbors the blessing qt good govcrsrscnit once more. The amount asked ia so.sroail that it .would, not materially Injure us if it ?henld all ! bc lost, and thia idea brings un to tho question of the probability of Wieg the amount paid if Chamberlain should be Governor. We ate not afraid of hwlng it under any circumstances, for the Su preme Court has already decided that the Mackey House is illegal, and that the Wallace House ia the lawful House of Representatives of Month Carolina; hence, it is necessary fur thia House to adopt any tax which may be proposed in the next two years b?fore it can be col lected. This House under the constitu tion bas to originate all tax billa, and it is by a resolution from it thal the len per cent, is called for. Of course, stier pav ing thia resolution calling for the money, tho Democratic H??UK# would not adopt any bill which did not receive theme re ceipts for tases. The money i? being properly applied, and the Courts of the State would hold these receipt* tobe good demands for money loaned for the use* of tho State. We repeat that we have no fears as to the lo? nf our tax money. It in even safer than Governor Hampton, and aa to bia chancea to bc Governor of South Carolina for thc balance of the two years, we think them better than they havo ever been. A COMMON SENSE VIEW OF IT. President Grant, despite his ninny short comings, baa a way of occasionally blun dering nu to a very sound and practical view of public matter?. Indeed we be lieve his own common sense !? greater than that of his advisers, and that if he had surrounded himself by the pv.t riots and honest men of either political party instead cf the Cameron**, Belknaps, Schenk?, Kobesons el al, his own mind would have controlled tbe affaira of the nation in such m.inucr as to givo credit to bia ability and confidence iu hin patriotism. Grant tins occasionally risen above the nature which bia public life hsa caused men to ascribe to bim, and performed isolated acta which ?how that there ia a spark of greatness In bia com position, however much il may be sur rounded and bidden by tho littleness which he has allowed his disreputable: aasociatea to engraft into bim. courso at the surrender waa chivalrous and magnanimous. His conduct in re fusing' td send troops to Davis, the Re* publioan Governor of Texas, to perpetu l?ia psrty in that Stats? and his recoge nitlon of Brooks over Baxter in Arkansas, have shown to tho nation that he knows how to perform the high trusts imposed on him as President whenever he desires to do so ! but these ins&iitfts are so few anil far between that wo .lose sight of] thom amidst tho multitude of jobs, cor ruptions and oppressions wbich bis last four years have so fully exhibited to the public view.

Judge Mackey arrived here t day, and sr? his utterances have attract auch general attention, he was called upi by the Herald correspondent, to whom ! freely expressed his views. He said : "I regard it ss an absolute verity tb Hayes will be declared President. I ba no doubt that the electoral commissi will hold that the votes of Louisiana at Oregon mutt be counted for Hayes, regard the position of thc Republicans to both of tbeso States as perfectly ii pregnable.

MACKEY AND HATES. Avvi?er fnterttew WttTatHa CST?its? | .Indee. Judge T. J. Mackey, of South Carbli? na, waa in Macon*70a>, Wednesday, aiwT] at hit. oWD ierjutit waa. iatcrftit?wcd by On? ?f the editors of thc itie^dph and Messenger.. He apoke of bia visit to Hayes recently : When he entered the parlor of the Radical chief, the firdt. object that chal lenged bis attention was a picture on the mantleplec? which satisfied bim that he wonld riot fail in bli mission aa a rep resentative ot the cauae of rtoWd-tfoddefl South Caroliua. This was a photograph of two persona in the attitude of clasping banda. One was Hayes himself and the other Colonel Ouy M. Bryan, of Texas, who served in the Confederate army, and ie now the Speaker of the Democratic House of Representatives in that State. The lutter ia a Virginian by birth,, ?wd in tho flxprsMsi ve language of the Judge, a.i Sdifthern as the aun." The picture Was taken a few years ago. Governor Haye;', pointing tu it, said, 'Ile ia the dearest frbmd.l have on caf th j that doea not look that if I am.President I shall be swayed hy influences very hostile to the 8outh." 'Thc?w? our Informer ?aid, were his ''exact, words.'' Thc .Governor con tinued : Some, of my. happiest day--) wore spent' .with Bryan in Texas, but like a good Democrat, he ; voted against me." Judge Mackey laid the whole case of Carolina before bim, supporting bia state ments with documentwry evidence. Governor Hayes expressed tywfelf as appalled at the* misgovernment so long flagrant mid disastrous in Smith Carolina He said : "I regard the Presidential con tent in the form that it has assumed as most uncertain as to its result. I shall perform no act to influence that result, out do say unreservedly that the great need of thc South is good government, and if I' am President, I shall usc ali legitimate agencies to foster the estab lishment in that long disturbed section of Intelligent and honest local nclf-gov efnrricnt. Governor Hayes is liberal in his polit ical views, as shown by the fact that du ring his present term of office he has ap pointed two Democrats out of five Jus tices of the Supreme Court, and one lib eral Republican who voteu against him in the State of Ohio. He called attention to this fact himself, as nn indication of his politlc&l animus. The Governor aldo handed Judge Mnckey a copy of his mes sage in 1872, in - Vieh be'statcd that minority represen? .?ion on returning boards was necessary to prevent their hecominc formidable engines to subvert the will of the people. And in accord ance with his recommendation, the Ohio Legislature enacted a law which gives to the minority a representation of three ont of every seven in thc fettlf liing boards of every county in Ohio. Governor Hayes stated that the letter of General Hampton "would be hailed as ? a messenger 01 peace throughr.t.t the North, coming, as it doea, from a sup porter of Governor Tilden, and a Demo crat, whose fidelity to hia party wan above I suspieiou. More especially as Hampton is a representative man of the martial element of the Southern 8tates. without whone aid the Democracy of the North i could makft (his exact language) but a rhort war." Hayes says, also, "this in not the fint time that I' had occasion to commend General Hampton. On July 5, 1867, in a short speech delivered by me at Lebanon, Ohio, I referred tc his (Hampton's) advanced views in favor of ? granting suffrage to the colored people, and held him np as a splendid example ! for the Democracy of Ohio on thia sub? |ject, os they were then opposing an amendment of thc State constitution con ferring the right of suffrage upon the negro."^ ss?. Hayes &l*o declared that "tho peo ple of the Northwest will seek home? in the genial climate of tho South, where lands aro abundant and cheap, whenever good government, honestly and economi cally administered, and which respects the rights of all, is established in that section. They will desire, however, that they shall receive a kind welcome, if personally worthy, and that no personal discriminations are made against them. With these conditions complied with (his exact language), thr capital of the North will pour into the Southern States in a golden stream." He said, further, . .lat the Republicans of the North are the natural allies of the Southern Demo crats, owning the greater portion of the property, and controlling the chief cn ! terpriaes of the Northern 8tates, just as [the Democrats .in the South chiefly rep ; resent its property, intelligence and vir tue. At this point Gov. Hayes also stated that, 'We of Ohio have recently sub \ scribed twenty millions of dol?an? to build tb? Cincinnati and Great Southern f t\U j-iiiieRuiiruad iu Ailania, Georgia, ( via Clfatnuooga.
