That ts a conwiling refhclion tor u? eve? if the Presidency lia? been stolen by fraud r.nd perjury for thc Republican catidiJalc. When Graut leave* the White H.iMethe Kitiop will breathe freer, for no man eau bo found, we hope, who m President. will be-hi? equal in tyranny, fraud aiid selfishness, and wc ore confident no man cati allow more of corruption and vil lainy to be perpetrated by government officials, than bas been committed by bis appointee*. The Republicans in Congre*? from Hov. Haye-)' t?tate, assure the country that a? President he Intends to leave the Southern Staten to take care ol' them Helves, without military interference. If he doe* KO, there will be an end of sec tional strife, and with it an end of Pe publican governments run by infamous carpet-buggers and disreputnb! J natives in the Southern 8tate*. We trust these comforting assurance* may prove well founded, if we are to have four years of Mr. Hayes' administration of the govern ment. _^^^^ The Union-Herald, ex-Oov. Chamber lain's organ, bas so materially experi enced the "stn've 'cm nut policy," that it has suspended publication as n daily, and will henceforth he published us a weekly, if" it is not still further starved out. As Chuiuberlniii'rt appointee?, ure getting no money, he cannot levy contri butions upon their salaries to keep up his paper, and hence thc journal which has been proclaiming ti? the world in its prospectus that it would not abandon the ?KSUC> of thc war against the rebellion, hus been abandoned by thc people. His paper is taking leave of r .> now, and Chamberlain himself will soon have to submit to a similar fate. The Partisan Eight of tho Coiunii**ioti voted to count South Carolina for Hnycx with the same defiance 01 law and jus tice which has characterized their pro ceedings from the beginning to this last act of tim miserable electoral farce. The only other contested point for the Com mission is thc vote oT Vermont, which rests upon the same poiut ns the Oregon vote, and hence is prejudged by thc de cision in that case. The Commission has done its work like true partisans, and the country will henceforth know the immortal eight as the men who pre ferred party to the laws of their country, and to justice and right. Future gene rations will detest their memories, and hold them up os execrable examples of j men devoid of principle. i:.M>.vi< C.? Tura a ai.ait>Ciii(/ii Governor Hampton, in an interview with a reporter of the New* and Courier, said upon tho subject of defeating the in auguration of Hnyea aa President by re sistance to the action of the Commission : "I think it not advisable to throw nb stacie? in the way of the decision of tho Commission. We submitted our case to that tribunal, and if we have been de ceived or betrayed, we can better afford to suffer defeat which bringa no dishonor to our party, than to incur the imputa* lion of acting in bad faith. Other legiti mate means of redress aro still open to UK without re-jortinj? tn parliamentary tact'ea, which may injure tho peace of j the country, and would surely place us in a false position. The interest of the whole country demanda a peaceful settle ment of the pending question." WHAT WILL TILDEN BO S A correspondent of the Baltimore American, under date of February 20, writes from Washington as follows : Your correspondent baa information to-night from a most reliable source that Mr. Tilden is a verso to tho policy of de lny, and that as soon aa Hayes is inaugu rated he wi|l instituto proceeding ia.quo tearrranio or in ecire /acia? by citing Hayes to ?how cause why he should not vacate the Presidential office, for the pur pose of getting before the full bench of | tho Supreme_Caurt the question as to whether rho Tribunal, in excluding evi dence, construed the Electoral Bill in ac cordance with Ks truo meaning and with the Constitution.

This ia wise. ' Taxes ?re a test af sovereignty, and their payment indicates loyalty, dee. Hampton has called for an inxtallmtnt of 1 4-10 milln upon the taxable property of the State. This should produce 0175,000, on the bam of the receipts of last year. It really is not a large sum for an enthusiastic people to nay. Throw off 923,000 for the Repub licana and lt is just about two dollars per head for the legal Democratic voters of the 8tate. Small as it is, however, we tdiould consider it a remarkable exhibi tion of confidence, and if Gen. Hampton ii able to announce urithin thirty day? the reception of that amount from the roar-nay crt throughout the State, ve shoidd be ready io acbuneleage that th? "starve 'em out" policy might possibly succeed. The answer reade by the people de mands an acknowledgment from Cham- j berlaln and his organ that the "starve i .ere out" policy has suceecdrd. v\rc do ' not e&pect to find either the Union Herald or Mr. Chamberlain admitting the fact that Hampton's government is the legal authority ii this State, until the bayonet prop bas b?en removed from under Mr. Chamberlain's farcical Usurpa tion. It ie not in their tinline to release their grasp upon power and authority, even when these exist only in name. P'it the people are determined to con vince "hem, if it requires two years to do it, t int taxes will not be paid to the car pet-bag element any longer, and that they are reHdy with their means to sus tain the 'swfu??y chosen Governor of South Carolina. The annexed list nf contributions from tho various counties for the support of the Hampton government is made up to Saturday, 17th of February, which is an average of thirty days after the book? were opened-some nf the counties not opening until a few woekn ago. The re sponse of the people demonstrate* their earnestness, and it is a common express ion among the tax-payers, when they are making thc ten per cent, contribution, that they would cheerfully and gladly pay the twenty-five per cent authorized by the House of Representatives, if Gov. Hampton had made thc call for that amount. The answer made by 'he tax payers ls a complete vindication tit"their faith in the validity of Hampton' 'elec tion, and at this particular time, when nearly every one is bard pinhoe, for money, the voluntary contribution of so much actual cash is truly a convine. v, test of their earnestness and determina tion to sustain their action at thc ballot box, under circumstances calculated to discourage, and in the face of depressing occurrences beyond the State : Abbeville.% 6,700 00 Aiken. 8,662 60 Anderson.

The House of Representatives very properly determined to resist the count ing of the vote of South Carolina for Hayes. The reasons are good and sub stantial, but wo have no doubt that the partisan eight of the Electoral Commis sion will over-ride law in the case of South Carol ina, just as they have done in the other contested States. The grounds apon which they corie*', the vote of this State are the following : First. That no legal election w<ia held in South Carolina for nrc*id?ntTi? elec tors, the Genera' Assembly of Un* State not having provided, a? required by Ar ticle 8. Section 8 of the Constitution thereof, for the registration of the people entitled to vote, without which registra tion no valid election could be held. Becon?. That there waa not existing io thu State of tiouth Carolina on tba fina of January, 1876, nor any time thereafter up to and including the tenth of Decem ber, 1876, a Republican form of govern ment, such aa Ja guaranteed by the Con stitution to every State in the Union. Third. That the Federal Government, prior to and during tbe election on No* vember7tb, 1876, without authority of Haw, stationed io varions parts of said State at or near the polling places de tachments of the United States army, by whose presence the full right of suf frage waa prevented, and by reason whereof no legal or free election ??ot could be held. Fourth. That at the several polling ?utrea in-*?id State there were stationed lotted SUtes deputy marshals, appointed Uliucr ?M-3j?l..*lr.,tro*i \H hwt?\??.<? *jV*. ggg 2.028, U. 8.

Filth. There waa soi, from tho first of January? 11974, up to and including 10th | of D^mbcv. 1376, nt any tinta a State government in Sou tb Carolina, except a i pretended government set up in violation of law and of tho Constitution of the "Milted Sutee^ b<r Federal authorities, and cutiaiucu uy g edera* troops. ?- ms* - - The Philedelphia Titree, independ ent, after commending the Democrat? in Congress for doing tbe sensible thing tn caucus of deciding that the counting of the electoral -rote ahonfd be proceeded With without dilatory opposition to the " lyieaccoUon of' the ?ot met I ag**** ?

From this it appears that the Repub licans intend trying to secdrc a compro mise as to our State government, by which the Democratic majority in our Legislature ia to be called upon to assist in keeping the National Republican party in power by electing a Republican to the United State* Senate. We trust no auch dishonorable scheme will have an abettor in Governor Hayes if he ?bo.lld be cur next President. Either Hampton is the legal Governor of South Carolina or he ia cot, and it is not the subject of barter and sale. If elected, it will be Hayes' ?worn duty to recognize him as Governor, and if he wa? not elec ted the President should recognise the candidate who was. There i? no room for a compromise, and Governor Hamp ton has' too high a sense of honor to think of, or permit any such proceeding. Ile ia Governor of South Carolina, and the people who elected him intend to sustaiu bim, let the President who is bring counted in by fraud do as he will. If any Republican gets a seat from South Carolina in the United States Semite, that body will hare to assume the re spousibility, as the Democrats of South Carolina do not intend to forfeit n portion of their hard-earned victory to gratify the tricksters of the Republican party. Had Governor Hampton and the Dem ocratic party desired to com, mine over the election they could have done so long ago. There is no such desire, and whoever expects a South Carolina Dem ocrat to vote for a Republican for the United States Senate reckons without his host. THE LAST OUTRAGE. The country has witnessed many hu miliating scene* of Gen. Grant'? despotic, revolutionary and contemptible disposi tion during the past few years, and has become somewhat familiar with and ac customed to the violation of law and precedent which have resulted from bin selfish, arbitrary and intemperate nature, but we imagine every true patriot-yes, every mad that reverences or respects the name and memory of one of earth's great est heroes-waa surprised, astonished} shocked beyond any previous experience by the usurpation and deliberate desire to insult and mortify tb? people of South Carolina manifested by President Grant in his uncalled-for and tyrannical order forbidding a military parade upon the 22nd of last month in honor of the im mortal Washington'? birth day. The following card explains the situation : POST OF COLUMBIA, GoLVMIIA. S. C., Feb. 20, 1877. Coatain Thompson, Columbia, S. C.: DEAR SIB-I have the honor to notify you that I have thia day been directed by the honorable Secretary of War, to inform you that bis Excellency the President of the United Slates directs me to r.otify you that the members of the so-called rifle clubs, who, under hi? proclamation of the 17th of October last, were instruc ted to disband, will not be permitted to make any public demonstration or parade on the 22nd instant, aa ia said to be con templated; and it is hoped you will give a cheerful obedience to thu order, and notify the member? of your club or com pany thereof, in order to prevent a parade toking place. My orders require me to see that no Buch parade takes place. I am, ?ir, very respectfully, your obedi ent servant, H. M. BLACK. Lieutenant-Co tonel 18th Infantry Com manding Post Ihia order wa? r befitting document to eminate from Grant at thia time. While the minions of fra ?;'. corruption and villainy were engage?! ic atealing the choice of a President from the great American people, it was appropriate for tho man who hr.? used thc naiinr??'.l army to thwart the will of cu ve reign State?, to issue bia edicts to hia subordinates, ecu manding them to prevent the time-hon ored homage that haa been for nearly a century past bestowed upon a hero and a patriot from being paid in South Caro lina. It would indeed have been more appropriate to have prevented the tribute in any American State. Washington waa a patriot and founder of republican government. Is it to be wondered that Grant the tyiant abd would-be destroyer of that government should prohibit dem onstrations of honor to bin memory? Ab, how the thought that bis memory will be greeted with a scoff and a scowl by all honorable mes, while the rich iegacy Washington has left his country men will only grow brighter as it is crowned with fresh cycles of years, must irritate the. eel fish and narrow-minded bigot who look? upon thia nation as his property or alav?s. The following digni fied yet befitting and scathing proclama tion waa issued by his Excellency Gov. Hampton, in reference to the military order of Grant: STATE OV SOOTH CAROLINA, EXECUTIVE CHAMBER, COLUMBIA, February 20,1877. His Excellency the President of the United States havlug ordered that tho white militia companies of thia State ?J -~? M th* 'J-?nH inmtjint. to celebrate Washington'? birth day ; in deference to the office he holds, I hereby call upon these organizations to postpone to some future day thia manifestation of their respect to the memory of that illus trious President, whose highest ambition it waa, a? it waa bia chief glory, to observe the constitution and- to obey the law of his country. If the arbitrary commands of a Chief Executive, who has not sought to emu late the virtues nf Washington, dsorivc thc citizens of this 8tate of "the'privilege of joining publicly in paying reverence to that day, so sacred to every American patriot, we can at least ?h?w hy our obe dience to constituted authority, however arbitrarily exercised, that we are not un worthy to be the countrymen of Wash Ington. SpSSt. thc rc ic rc, rerell to wis aua p?siotw period, which I trust ia not for distant, the exercise of our right tn com memorate the civic virtues nf that unsul lied character, who wielded hi? sword orilv to found and perpetuate that Amer lear constitutional liberty which* is now dolled to the eittsana of South Carolina. WADE HAMPTON, .> .j ?.-. ?',yv -Vi |WOVER^OR>^ ANOTHER TALK FROM ?BAST. Dlr. Gobright, tho agent of the At*o cistsd Pr??, had a ?ong mik r '.ih ?trc?* rient O m nt na lnut Sunday tire?, the pah* Ushcd account* of which we make the lonowna; extracts j Mr. Oobrlghli "Something ha? been said about your ordering more troops to Wellington ?" The President : "Buch is not my pres ent intention ; but, if they were needed, I should order them here. I think, how erer, that everything will be peaceful ; a? there are no indications of disturbances j in connection with the Electoral count or the declaration that may be made." Mr. Gobright : "It has been published j that you have distinctly ?aid you would | not .'-..'mally recognize one of the two | governments in either Louisiana or So<ath Carolina. Is this true?" i The President, "it is; asl think it would be improper for me to fix a South ern policy for my successor, and thus embarrass him. if I were to recognize Republican Governors they would have to be ?uatsiued by military force, and I think the entire people are tired of the military being employed to sustain a State government. lt a Republican State' government catino'; sustain itself, then it will have to 'ive .vay, sud if & remedy is required, let Congress, atid no* the President, provide it." Mr.Gobright : "Mach unfriendly com ment has been maiio au the executive order prohibiting a military demonstra tion in Charleston, P. C., on Washington's Birthday. If you have no objection, it would be interesting to learn the reason for the action in the premises." The Pr?sid?t: "Kv proclamation heretofore issued, coinnu .idu.g all illegal or unauthorized arin ed associations to disband, is still in force. The men who were going to parade were nothing but .\rmed political hands. They have never respected the proclamation, and only seemingly disbanded. I must say that while i believe tl"<? Democratic leaders would have done all that was possible to prevent an outbreak, yet, on an occasion nf that kind, men sometimes indulge tno much ia strong drink, and while under its influence might so express themselves agaiust their political opponents as pos Mitdy to provoke retaliation, and thus in cite'a riot >nlh serious, if not fatal cons? quences, r.nd which disturbance might extend to other localities. Therefore, entirely i part from the propriety of ob serving the day, it was thought better that the military demonstration should bc prevented, for the reasons stated, rather than run the risk of a riot." IThe Suprema Court. We have heard enough and seen i enough nf the reluctance ot the Supreme . 'Court to recognize the government which the people have chosen. Fnr nearly three months it has evaded the responsi bility of a formal acknowledgment of this fact by a judicial act. For reasons which some of its members best know, it has not carried out to their logical results the decision it gave in December when it maintained the Wallace House to be the true legal House of Representatives. By the returns, and by conclusive arguments made before it, it knows that Hampton received the highest ?umber of votes for the office of Governor. Notwithstanding, it has stumbled and hesitated to pro nounce that he is capable of pardoning a convict, or to do any act appertaing tonis office. Thia is more surprising in face of the fact that three of the Circuit Judges have promptly decided that he is de jure QovctKOT and t~c sf thc-, that h? U Governor both de jure and de facto. Is our Supreme Court to abdicate its high functions? Is it to stand before the com munity the weakest and most irresolute of all our judicial tribunals? The vener? able Chief Justice bas been prostrated now for the second time by a disorder which has compelled bim to withdraw measurably from bis high and responsi ble place. With sincere sympathy for his affliction, we can understand in his case how bis hold upon public interests has berm necessarily relaxed. Justice - Willaju, it is an open secret, entertains no doubt of bis duty in the premises, and has been all the time ready to affirm and sustain bis convictions by a judicial de* termination. His luminous mind and resoluto character promptly marked out the course which became him aa a judge of law and fact, fernier enforced cy considerations touching the highest pub lic i a ;j rest and the public tranquility. Justice Wright ia understood recently te hesitate, though upon what grounds is unknown. At the inception of these pro ceedings, he showed a clear comprehen sion, aa we had occasion to notice, of all the ?ucstions involved in all their bearings, t ia to be hoped that ho will not allow influences other than those which should sway the upright judge to prevail with him. A duty devolves upon him to-day which the State which bas honored bira expect* him to discharge fearlessly, in '? Yigentiy aud justly.-Register. The Present State Government* of the South Not to he Interfered With. WABBINGTON, February 21. The following remarks published in the National Republican of this city, the President's paper, have caused a profound sensation among Republican politicians: "In view of the prospect that th? ad ministration is to remain in the hands of the Republican party, it may not be inappropriate to suggest some changes in th? policy, which, in our opinion, nhsuiu characterise tbs conduct of the government. There ia uo louger any thing t? hold the North and South apart, but everything to counsel union and harmony, and as a first step toward such a desirable consummation, we ?re in fa vor of leaving the present State govern ment? of the South to sustain themselves or perish, just as the people shall be for or against them, seeing to it only that vio lence is restrained and peace preserved. We ere in favor of inviting Southern statesmen,, having the confidence and support of their people, to the counsel of the administration. "A new political era dawned upon the Republican party yesterday. The South ern statesmen, toe true and the patriotic, boldly put themselves upon FTC Ort q i be ing against any attempt to evade the de cision of the judicial tribunal or thwart its result.

The card only ia changed, and that slightly, by Mubotituting an Attachment for a Lickerin, at a cost of about $800. The Attachment receive? the seed cot toa, gently remove ? the ?ced, combs out the duct, trash, mote*, Ac., and deliver? the fili'.men?s untangled and parallel to the card ; thu? supcrcedl.ig the gin, pres? end compress, (which are only intended to render cotton transportable,) the Wil lower, Lapper, Double Lapper, Breaker, and fear-fifths of the cards, (which arc only used to try to remedy the injury done b?/tb? gin. press and compress.) It also save? or supercedes the Railway and Railway Drawing Head, also all Jack Frame?, Slubbers, Mules, Twisters, Even er?, Ac., Ac., together with all the build ings, motire power and operative?, to bold, drive and attend to such discarded machinery. It rave? one-half the usual waste, ?nd f duce? better and stronger silvers, rovers 'and thread than can be made by baird cotton, thereby enabling operative? to attend more machinery, and each machine to do more work, especial ly in thc spinning and weave rooms. The reason why the card will do four times more by this process, using the ?nine mo tive-power, i?, the filaments are not per mitted to leave the machinery, fly, or be come tangled, but are kept straight, and carding is but the straightening of the cotton filaments. The extra strength of the thread ia owing to the working of thc cotton fresh from the seed, the oil of which bas kept it alive, light, elastic and flexible, with all its attenuating qualities perfect; and to the fact that it has never been napped, cut or tangled by the gin, pressed, compressed, or permitted to be come dry, seasoned and brittle in this tangled condition, nor has it been in jured by the willower, lopper, double tapper, breaker and cards, where the damage done by the gin, press and com presa are sought to be remedied. This ?mall attachment (only 36 inchei long by 18 irtche? square) ?upercede? thc above mentioned eight machines ai m pl j because the first three are intended U render cotton transportable, and tbe lasi five are used to remedy the damage dnn< by the three first.

The item of ?eed ia wot $5 per bale a? a fertilizer, equal to $2 000.000. and decorticating moro th double ita value. There can be no competition away fri the cotton field, for seed cotton will r bear transportation, and none otherc be used. The crop of 1875 ia estimated at 4.4( 000 bales, of which the South conaua about 200.000, the balance waa ?hipp North and to Europe, tbe average pri waa probably about I Oe. per pound ort per bale. The enhanced value of cru cotton, when converted into yara, is ea fisted at from 100 to 125 per cent.; ic shirting and sheeting, 200 percent.; ir prints, still more, and into fine musHi 800 to 400 oer cent. These ara an profita, but If the South made ber a chinery, furnished her operative? and I them, they would be net to her. Tbs machine bas been ran for thi months steadily, giving entire satisfactit making first quality of yarn? which s readily in the market for 25c per noni paying for seed cotton from ic to 3 per pound. The only objection yet sc to it ls, on the int of January ii neccuary to bold eight months' ?upi of seed cotton.

The right to use otic Attachment is *150.

Good second hand ma chinery can be had for less than one-half thc above prices at the North. STATE 5EW8. - Mr. Thuinu? II.
