heine settle local conflicting claims to
official recognition, and lead to tho har
monious working of the judicial eystora
ordained for tho preservation of the
puplio pesco, and the protection of per
sons and property. 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

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 ? Th?? hrj' xiuaHlled,

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.
We have the honor to be, very respect
fully, your obedient servants and fellow
citizens. J.B. KESSKAW.

Texas i? n magnificent country, BO W
are told, almost boundless iu area, limit
leas in productions, and capable ef sup
porting all. tho people that ever come int
it. Periodically, perhaps we may sa;
annually, a sort of spirit of emigratioi
takes hold of the farming communities a
the older Southern States, and at one
they take the Texas fever. During th
nest winter BO many have gone into th
Lone Star Stato that we ceo it stated th
immigrants could not at timed be sup
plied with food on arrival. The newspu
pets' have advised tho newcomers to brm
something to eat with them ns wella

no provisions to buy even if they hav
coffers of money. If there are any of ou
readers itching to go to Texas, let us be

But in general it happens that peoph i
ito nut know? precisely the? 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!." Frames that mai
tain their position by pinching the nc
should not be used.~fV?ir,s Nagasd

sidon'.d exhibition of.nrmuow and in
t?grity of thoso Judge*, who, when ap

heed to the clamors and objurgation? of
their party throughout the oatley and,
themselves Republicana, exposed Re

State, mid by securing tho permanent
esteem and regard' of lao whole people,

struck down his Chief, and fear drove

which ho could do towards. securing the
triumph of Truth and Justice.
Wo are glad that tho opportunity is
now afforded of proving that prejudice
docs not sway the minds of Carolinians,
that they can admire high qualities and
noble conduct in oven a political fee.
Wo think that the Judge, who, in a
building garrisoned by tho forces, pf a

A Good jfoint Made by the Corolini
Spartan.
By reference to the Auditor's books, w
findono-iwelftli of tho land of Spartan
burg is returned as "arable"-much, c
this not being cultivated--and it ia woi
thy of remark that this one-twelfth nov
bears tho whole buiden of supporting os
people, paying their taxes, ?tc.; in sheri
one-twelfth of the land of the count,
supports everything in tho county, ri
everything ia busedupon and supporte
by agriculture. Out of a tots! of 6g?$
723 acres, we have 296,992 acres in ol<
fields, 183,677 lu (original) woodlane
and only 80,054 acres called "arable.
