Having heard argu ment for the first time, and on but one side, of the question, I bavo deemed it proper, so lor as the very limited oppor tunity permitted, to give it auch consid eration os its importance demanded, and I now. proceed to state briefly tho conclu sions I haye arrived nt, from a review of the fae's before me and the ?aw applica ble thereto. By the act of February, 1873, loth Statute, 865, it is provided that "the Gov ernor do appoint, by and with tho advice and consent of the Senate, five trial jus tices for the City of Charleston" which number was reduced to four by tho act of March, 1876. ISth Statute, 158. Upon Inspection Of the commission of W. F. Dover, which was produced in Court, it appears that he was appointed to the of* 'fice he claims on the 3rd of January, 1?77, by D. H. Chamberlain, styling himself Governor of South ! Carolin?. It ia denied by the relator that UK Cham berlain was thea Governor of the State, nod ihsjsted that, by virtue of the election held on the 7th of 'November, 1876. nod of'proceedings had in the General As sembly and the Courts, Circuit and Su TOffl^TutleirWnirto "that date, ?'Wade Hampton ia, ami was? the lawful Gover nor, and \4lone authOrLvul by law to ap point trial justices. ' 1 J Tho. Constitution in Section 2, urti cl o 4. provides that "the Governor shall be elected by tho electors duly qualified to votqfor.r?pmhqra.of tb? Hqnse: of Rep reaenfatfves,"aha shall nola his office for two years, and until his successor shall bp chosen and qualified," and in Section .I of the carno Article it is declared that "the perton having the highest number of votes, shall f~e Governor," and that * * "contested elections for Governor shall be determined by the General Assem bly." There are other provisions in the same section directing how tho result of the election shall be ascertained and declared, but I regard them of form merely, Dot of substance, excluding other modes under nil circumstances; and it has uol been protended, so far ns I am informed, ?that a neglect of doty, or an improper or fraudulent discharge; of-tho. daly imposed on them,,by any of tho officers through whose hands' tho ballots or returns have to pa&jS, 'can'.Vitiate the election and de feat, cither. the expressed will of the elec tora oar t'i-3 riebt of the person having the highest number of votes. An election for Governor of thia State was held, ac cording to law, on the 7th November last, at which Wade Hampton and Daniel H. Chamberlain (the incumbent) were tho candidate^/-nnd. on/opening the returnB of thd county 'canvassed, which cannot boTgoiiB.behind, (?c-S ihe Report' O? tile Presidential Electoral Commission in the case of florida,) except by a contest aa prescribed by the Constitution, it was ascertained, as is in proof before the Court, and hos never, to its knowledge, been denied, that there were in tho ballot boxes a majority of 1,134 votes' for War1? Hampton. " This would *eem to have set tled tho question, 'unless a contest had been made before the General Assembly, as provided for by the Constitution, and there was no contest. But, nevertheless, thc qualification of the person elected was necessary before he could enter upon the duties of the office, mu? in the mean time the incumbent would have, held over j under the Constitution, if he hnd elected to do so. Did he do so? When the1 General Assembly met in Columbia in NO ?.aber last the members of the lower House divided into two sections. One of ?heee, consisting of. a less nmnbet.than.n Towful quorum drthc House of Repr? sentatives, as had' been previously ad judged by Ibo Supremo Coorain the case of Sorten* Bliss &. Co. vs. the Oomntrol i?V-General-4th S. C. Reporta, 480^-prp ce?ded to organize by electing E. \7. M. Mackey Speaker ; whilst tho other, con taining a lawful quorum, including cer tain pcraons who, it was charged, secured their election by fraud and violence, but j who having been returned by the eoufaty cauvas8C.ra.as receiving the highest num berof -Votes" were priina facia entitled to their seats, waa organized by the election of W. H. Wallace aa Speak a. On the 5th of December, 1876; E. W. of. Mackey, in the presence of the Senate, -f/hose or ganization was regular, and of'tiio body over whom he had Bec? chocen to preside, styling themselvea,tho House of Reprc seuBR?-ives, jpr?ceedsd io open *?,5 election returns which hud bean delivered to him by the Secretary of State, and after throwing out, upon motion, tho entire vote of two counties, without protest or declaration that "D. H. Chamberlain had received a majority of the whole number bf 'votes cast, and was duly elected Qov ?rnor.qf; South Carolina for the ensuing wo years. Previous to these proceed a Mt?ltttiOn which was still pending been introduced in tho Senate, JU ?nd onthei^ame day the question, aa to which of the two bodies that had been organized as suited waa tho constitutional House Of BepWSitttetiveai was submitted * .

Here agaip, with- { out refcr?iit?'t?'what ht?J gone be?bte, ? *?o?l& seem tho controversy should* bavo been regard aa ended.'' That decision; frotp?vr??oment it w?n mado public, was thefetnwe&a law. which all persons wero Ito respect and yield obedience to.

If thia be true, Wade Hampton,- who had been elected by a majority af th? votes cost, would, 'from that moment, upon taking the bath of office, h ?wo bee n Governor at fabio if not"aV Jure, without regard to any formal i declaration or in stallation. But has Hamp! .n. at any time, been lawfully inducted into office, and is he now Governor' de Jure of tho State of South Carolina? O? the 18th Bcprc tentative.'', ap is in proof before me, sent a formal notice to the Senate,1 which' waa placed in the hands of the pr aiding offi cer, (who for , some unexpla ned' reason failed to publish it,) that they would on the next day, 14th December, Jit 2 p. m., proceeded to open and publish the returns of the election for Governor. The Senate did not attend os a body on that occasion, bet- a number of the members' were pres ent,, and os the notice was published in the journal of the House for that day, lt is fair to preaump they all had aclu: I no tice, as they certainly bad of the illegality of thc House they had before bcenacting with. At the hour appointed the'returns; which were sworn transcripts from' dupli cates of tho originals which were with held from them, obtsiusd from the offices of clerics of tho court where.they aro filed by constitutional direction, and also a certificate and statement of the votes cast from the office of the Secretar* of State, as taken from the originals, were opened and examined? when it was ascertained that Wade Hampton had received a ma jority of 1,184 votes, as before jtated. whereupon he was formally declared Governor of tho State of South Carolina. .On the.eame day he was duly qualified and entered upon the duties of the office, which he hos continued to discharge so far ns permitted by surrounding adverse circumstances, up to. the present time. It has been stated that the rr..*urns used by tho lawful House of Representatives,' in ascertaining and declaring' the result of the election for Governor; where trans cripts from duplicates filed in the offices of clerks of court, and it docs not appr-i 7 whether any c fib rt was made, by process of attachment-Or otherwise, to compel the persons claiming to- be officers of what is popularly known as the Mackey House to deliver the originals. I' is possible that by auch a proceeding, which was legitimate and proper, ofter the' de cision: of the Supreme Court had deter mined the lawful Houses . the primary evidence of the election might have been obtained, which would have avoided one of the Objections raised to the declaration of Hampton's election*. I suppoae^how ever, that the state of nfiairs existing .in Columbia at the timo was a sufficient ex cuse for ,resorting to secondary evidence, and herefore justifies the. action taken. HewevexXpat may be,do pot regard .ft as affecting- the result. The transcripto of duplicata.,returns, with the. official certificate of the .Secretary of State, al though, sec^dary, ?vidence, -vas;, it indy be presumed, the boat that could be had, anq I um pf opinion was sufficient under the terms of the .Constitution. And so, too,; with/yejj^K? to ih?'t?Tp^C^pjb the Senate at the opening of the re tv rna. If, not actually, it. must be held to* ImiOrbem constructively present.' . Otherwise, after the recognition of the lawful Houso by the Supreme Court, it would have wilful ly ignored a plain> constitutional duty, : thereby giving sanction to>a great wrong, and tending .to defeat-the will of the electors os expressed 'through ithe ballot box, which would hu ve been ? repugnant alike to good law and good morals. To enforce a right or prevent av wrr-ng the j law.will, as to detail* ?cd. ??ere matters ' of Jbrin, presume.^a.t taItaV? been done which ought to hav? bean dono. I am of opinion, therefore,' that Wado Hampton was mado' Governor In and over the State Of South'CJarolin*', through the . ballot-box, in accordance with tho Constitution, at tho . election held on the 7th November losti ?

Is no ?neb cbr^dst?tioa of ?iped?oncy W impel ?C. tied'adverse to therfull exercise, by Gov ernor Hampton, of bis authority as tho duly elected Governor of South Carolina, Hie public declarations and nets attest his purpose, that under his administra tion the government of -South Carolina snail "recognise and maintain invl?lato the rights of all," and thatitwill "be ? government which submits loyally and heartily to the Constitution and ?Aws ; the laws of the nation end titoof the State, accepting and obeying faithfully the whole Constitution as it is." Permit us to add, that "tho question to consider for tho immediate welfare" of the Slate of 8outh Carolina, "is the question of government or no govornraeut ; ol' racial order, and al? 'he peaceful industrien that belong to lt, cr a return to barbarism." It is tho unalterable resolve of Governor Hampton, and of the majori ty of the peo ple of South Carolina, who by their free suffrages elected him as their Chief Mag* 'istrate, never to submit to the domina tion of the usurped authority which now holds with an armed Torce tho Capitol of the beste. They will resist it everywhere and continually, to their utmost' power, yet always within the limits that pre scribe their paramount duty us American citizens to bear true faith and allegiance to tho Constitution nnd tno Union, and practice true obedience to tho laws. Such resistance cannot be doomed in consistent with a law-abiding citizenship, for the Hampton government has re ceived the recognition directly or indi rectly of all the Circuit Judges, save one, and even he has decided that Governor Hampton received tho highest number of votes, although holding that tho election was not iegnily declared, the Senate hav ing failed or refused to attend at tho pub lication of the voto by the Speaker ot the House of Representatives. The Circuit Courts Are now virtually our courts of last resort, owing to the death of tho Chief Justice ; tho absence or non-con currence of one of the two Associate Jus tices!; fho nsw i constitute the Supremo Court, and the fact that tho General As sembly, which is alone empowered to fill the vacancy, has the same d&al character aa tho Governorship. Tho government of Governor Hampton hat mao the active support of almost the entire intelligence and respectability of both races and par ties io the State, while that of Chamber lain is upheld chiefly by bayonets and the mercenary hands of unworthy office holder* and office-seekers. We, therefore, respectfully submit that obedience to law, as announced by our court of last resort, with uo provision of the National Constitution militating therewith, and with no tribunal having the power to nbsolvo us from the duty to render such obedience, the Congress of the United States having enacted no statute in the premises, imperatively re quires every good eitizen to maintain undor nil circumstance, and at all hazards, the Hampton government, ab ways,' however, with due'submission t? the laws of the United States'; while t regard for enduring peace and the com mon good makes the same government i desideratum to all true patriots, and ad vocates of that self-government com mended, by, the declaration of our Na tional Independence.

Usai ?vrfcfti spectacle? becomo necessary. Many per sons imagino there is a certain period o' tho human life when eye-glasses are ror quired, which bras giveu rise to that perj nicious plan .of many self-styled opticians to prepare spectacles tor every age, which" theyT of coiirso, dispose of to the ignorant atiu inexperienced. As soon as . a man of fifty years of ago, for example, bat) through amy circumstances forced bis sight Tor a few days, he begins to Imagine he must bavo spoctaclea. Theso-he ob tains, asking tor and trying to obtain the best for bia particular age] and after ri short time he probably arrives atthe con ciusion that he can see better without them. The fact is that some men of sev enty, or even eighty years of age, enjoy their eyesight as well as at any period bi their liven, while their children and per haps grand-children cannot do without eye-glasses. The time when this benefi cent and blessed invention of the great Roger Bacon-of th', so-called ,Jdark ages"-ia needed, dependa uot only on the special conformation of the organ, but on tb o care ihat has been taken of it the proper use, or the abuse-the neglect uf moe attentions in washing, etc., or thc misfortune of compulsory work too many hours, over very minute or shining arti cles, and with in jurious lights. The sim plest rules of ascertaining the need ol eyo'glaases are, first, to note if you art obliged to remove small print or small objects further thau usual from your eye: in order to seo them distinctly ; secondly, if you find yourself involuntarily moving nearer to tho light than uiuial with you in order to read a letter or book ; thirdly if very small objects appear confused after you havo looked al them for an} length of time ; fourthly, if the eyes after a little close attention to anything become so fatigued that you aro obligee to turn aside to givo them relaxation and, lastly, n the sight on first awaken' ing is very weak, and does not recover ih customary degree of force until some timi nftor. As for tho choice of eye-glasses hero are a few general rules to begit with: In the first place, good glasse ought nover to magnify tho objects ven much, but merely to show thorn to u clear, Himplo andi exactly such ns the; arc. - Even in the exceptional cases where rather strong magnifiers are need cd, the proof when they are too atreni will be when you are obliged to bring th object much closer to the eye than 5 sound sight requires-in brief, every poi son ought, generally speaking, to bo ubi to read conveniently with his spectacle at tho same distance he was accustome to when his visual powers were perfect All eye-glasses should bo formed of pur glass, lhere should bo no apeckB, rayi globules, or other imperfections. Mi White Cooper seyB, "There is a comma prejudice in favor of pebbles, and the certainly possess two advantageous qunli ties-extreme hardness, rendering it did cult to scratch or break them ; and cleat ness, never becoming dull from moisture Surely these are important advantage and urey are also considered to be cool? than othor glasses. The only ihit I against them is, they cost so very muc moro, than all other glasses. But coi and true glosses should bo in all thc parts of an equal thiokneifa, In proporth to their convexity, as well as of an equ form. .Another test of true eye-glasses by holding them obliquely over print, r of the letters of which will preserve tb> true character if the glasses are corre? It must never bo forgotten that the fran in which eye-glasses are set must be e actly suited to tho wearer, because t breadth or narrowness of the upper pi of the ness-in fact the sr-gc?;7>6f=?e the two eyes-differs BO much with difA ent people that the centres of the glasi and the ccu tres of the eyes are euro n to agree unless properly adjusted.' - F : this reason, if' there were no other rc sons,, it is beat to have spectacles ma expressly for you by a qualified optici? With the venders of cheap spectacles " snit all sights" this is ne ver considere because tho wholesale wanufactni makes them to a common standard Buit all noses, and not the nose of a '^particular fellow!."
