SALE OF THE PEHDLETOH FACTOEY.
On Wednesday the 23rd inst., the valua?
ble property known as the Pendleton Fac?
tory was sold at public outcry in Anderson.
The property was divided into three tracts.
The one upon which the factory buildings
stand was bid off by Col. J. N. Brown for
the Bondholders at ten thousand dollars;
-the Kessler Mill Tract was bid off at $1,600
by Capt. John ? McGrath, and the bottom
: land tract of thirty-one acres was purchased
by the bondholders at $400. Several pieces
of machinery were sold at much less than
their cost. The aggregate amount of the
sale is about one-eighth of the cost of the I
property. We hope the purchasers will a!
once have the factory put into operation in
such manner as to benefit themselves and
afford employment to a number of operatives.

EX-GOTERNOR CHAMBERLAIN ON
THE SITUATION.
Simultaneously with the arrival of ex
Governor Chamberlain in Columbia yester?
day morning, the New York Herald brings
an interview with him on theexistingpoht
ical condition in South Carolina,: in which
he freely expresses the opinion that the ma?
terial and financial interests of the State are
safer in the control of the Democrats than
under recant administrations, including his
own miserable failure to bring peace and
prosperity to the State. The interview is
quite lengthy, and we can only, furnish ex?
tracts to show the general tenor of his
views.
In answer to the question what would
have been the result if he had beensustained
fully by the Legislature and the general gov?
ernment, Chamberlain says: ?
???The contest is now over and I d? not
care to parcel out the blame for present
results or to appear to reflect upon particu?
lar individuals or departments of govern?
ment. This, however, I can say with con?
fidence, that if I had been enabled to carry
out the plans and purposes I expressed in
my inaugural message of December 1.1874,
I should har e achieved all that Gen. Hamp?
ton has dox<e. Probably his full term of
office will ha required to develop his plans.
Had I the s.*me time, I should have effected
the same results. My prime object was the
restoration of ?Ood government and an hon?
est administration, and I think it is general?
ly admitted that what I proposed to this end
was sympathetic with the wishes of the in?
ternment community. I believe that I pur?
sued those plans consistently and with some
degree of firmness and courage. It is true
that I was not successful, but those who
have watched the course of events in the
State are perhaps better qualified than I am
to see who is responsible for the failure; I
certainly do not feel that I am. I am still
of the opinion that a better condition of af?
fairs would have been reached under my
administration than under that of General
Hampton, because no man's civil or politi?
cal rights would have been abridged,or
denied. As I have already intimated, I re?
gard the present supremacy of; the Demo
crrtic party as due to methods which disre?
garded the pol itical rights of a great number
of the citizens of a State. There was a large
majority of the people of South Carofina
entitled to vote who desired a continuance
of the Republican administration, and I do
not think that General Hampton represents
this element. St?l 1 believe he will endeav?
or to make a good and honest government
so far as its financial and practical depart?
ments are concerned.
I regarded the ignorance and inexperience
of the masses of the Republican party in
South Carol aa as one of the inherent and
great difficulties in the poHtical problem. I
was under the political necessity of making
political appointments to offices from a par?
ty which as a xule, was not able to furnish
competent officers to represent the govern?
ment.
The majority of the Republicans in the
Legislature -were never heartily in sympathy
with me during my first term of office.
Nearly all the public measures in which I
took a deep interest were passed by minori?
ties of Republicans and Democrats. The
reduction of taxes and a more economical
expenditure of public funds were natarally
the leading obj --i :ts which I had in view; and
here it is but y 'tice to say that I met with
almost entire opposition, within the ranks of
the Republican party. I had to extend the
greater part of ariy strength in resisting what
I regarded as bad legislation, and I had very
little time orstventgh left to devote to the
inauguration of better methods or the en?
actment of better laws. Of course my idea
of the way in which a reformation must be
brought about was through the Republican
party, because I. knew that a majority of the
people of the Siate were attached to that
Sarty, and that there was no hopes of in?
uring them to join any other organization,
even for local State purposes. But the
habits of the legislation which had grown
np between 1868 and 1874 were too strong for
me, and the resr.lt was that I was overcome
and mypo?cy only partiaUy carried out.
A great deal of evil was prevented and some
J>ositive good was done, but only a small
raction of the results which were within
the power of the Republican .party, had it
co-operated with, me, was made evident. I
feel bound to sav that if I had been heartily
supported from 1374 to 1876 the state of feel?
ing which preceded the noniiantion of Gen?
eral Hampton would not have existed. In
brief, if my achsinistration.had been sup?
ported by the vthole RepubHcan party, it
would have deprived the Democrats of their
grievances and made them acquiesce in the
eupiemacy of the Republican party for a
long series of years."
He declares that no change of circum?
stances in potiticnl fortunes wiU ever lead
him to deny or deprecate the generous and
-hearty support w.hich the best men of South
Carolina and the Democratic party gave him
from 1874down to the nomination of Hamp?
ton, and that no public man was ever more
heartily or unselfishly supported by po?ti
cal opponents than he was during that
period. As to the abitity of the colored
race to administer the affairs of government,
he says:
. "I think the cole, red people are just as com
. pet en t to legislate md conduct a government
as any other people who have had as tittle
education and experience. They only want
brains. It is idle to expect under any cir?
cumstances, a good government without a
large preponderance of intelligence. The
strength of every community in the Union
is measured by this fact. Wh?e, therefore,
I do not reflect on the colored race in saying
that they were badj.y prepared for.the task
they assumed, I still contend that successful
self-government, under the law of universal
suffrage, requires education, inteUectual
training and a largfi amount of accumulated
political experiencj.?in short, an under?
standing of the duties of citizenship. Con?
cerning the intentions of the masses of the
colored people of fc-'outh Carolina, I think
they are nonest. Their misfortune has been
that they were not.< are to anticipate or fol?
low the effects of muasures that were enacted
by their representatives until these measures
had taken root and v^rought their evil results.
And then they were too ready to be led by.
designing and unprincipled men, who be?
came by force of superior opportunities their
leaders.- When I say this, I desire particu?
larly to add that I ,lo not cast more blame
upon the colored than upon the white lead?
ers of the Republican party in South Caro?
lina. Upon the whoie, I think my own race
has as much to answer for any connection,
with bad leadership in that State as the col?
ored race. The res: t is the same. Bad
leaders and ignorac: followers could not
work out the problem of good government.
This has been the great obstacle and hin?
drance to the success of .the Republican party
in the Southern States, and it may be set
down as tha principul cause of our over?
throw.
"The difficulty was that a majority of those
who undertook to lead the Republican party
in South Carolina im,-.3e a profession of pol?
itics and lived accordingly. Now, I don't
think any man is qualified to lead in politi?
cal life unless he has such substantial inter?
ests in th9 community to which he belongs
as will put him in complete sympathy with
the permanent institutions of that commu?
nity. It is not always necessary that a man
shall be born on the soil where he bves, nor
that he shall be a property holder; but, in
my judgment, it is necessary that he should
have something besicb* what he may gain
by mere political effort, to the end that he
may possess a spirit of conservatism and a
disposition to do the ludest and most exact
justice, and at the sair time be a safe coun?
sel as a public-spirited official or citizen."
Concerning the resources of South Carolina
and its financial ability, he speaks as fol?
lows:
"I have had political differences with the
people of South Carolina that were wide
and deep, but upon- this subject of the re?
sources of the commonwealth I have never
entertained a doubt. South Carolina offers
the most inviting inducements to the emi?
grant. Her resources are almost indescriba?
ble. Her cotton, long staple and upland,
her rice and corn, her facilities for produc?
tion and manufacture tue absolutely unsur?
passed. I had a dream of identifying my?
self with the development of these great
ro80urces, not, if you wiU aUow me to say,
so much as a matter of personal ambition as
of satisfaction at seeing a State capable^ of
taking her place among the great productive
agencies of the Union: but the dream is
past. I have sought other fields, and prob?
ably shall find my future in New York. I
should have been glad to hav? participated
in the results that must come from the en?
ergy, industry and growth of South Caro?
lina, for she is Massachusetts, Alabama and
IowaroUed into oue. Rbe has great variety
of climate and-soil .- She has a tractable and
adaptive laboring population, and with good
government, self-reliance and the disappear?
ance of political dissentio.as her future seems
to bd as clear and prom: ng as'her most'en?
thusiastic son could desire.
Chamberlain next pressed his views with
reference to the effect of Hayes' poticy," and
said in answer to a question that the repor?
ter hinted was delicate iujits nature;
"I consider myself withdrawn from poli?
tics in South Carolina, and from politics
generally, and therefore have no objection.
You are, of course, awa?? that I did not ap?
prove of i the action which President Haves
took with reference to South Carolina. It
was an experiment, and time alone can vin?
dicate his judgment I think that as a prime
result he will find that the Democratic party
will derive all the profit, and that the Re?
publicans in S?uth; Carolina at least will re?
main in a permanent minority, having little
or no influence on public affairs in that State.
So far as the material and financial interests
are concerned the Democratic party brings
more wisdom, more experience ana a more
representative character to the discharge of j
the duties of. the administration, and I can
readily believe that. Under these conditions
of General Hampton's administration the
people will be satisfied. He is only doing
-what I could and should have done with the
same influences around me, and therefore, I
shall heartily rejoice int his success. It is
but natural for me to wlsh that along with
material prosperity 'might have come what
I regard as political prosperity, and by that
I mean the perpetuation of the Republican
party, which to me means equal rights and
the protection of the humblest citizen in the
enjoyment of the: free and untrammellod
exercise of his political principles.
"I hope you will allow me to say further
without suggestion from yourself, that
hold to my views of events in the past as
well as the present, with entire deference to
those who are known to differ with me.
have the prbfoundest respect and admiration
for the conduct and character in the main
of the masses of the Republican part}' of
South Carolina. The difficulties in the way
of their success. have been inherent. My
connection with the colored people has in
spired me not only with kind, but with ? re
spectful feelings, and I hope there is a happy
and a. safe future before them. For th
white people,. notwithstanding our antago?
nism, I also entertain a high degree of- re?
spect. I make a large allowance for the
difference of. training and education, and
am willing to'concede that they, have acted,
for the most part, in obedience to what they
have regarded as the best interests of the
State. I have-no pride of feeling that will
ever prevent me from rejoicing in any degree
of peace, prosperity and harmony which
may be wrought out under Democratic rule
irTSouth Carolina.
Splendid Pobtbats of Gobdon and Vance
?We are in receipt of two magnificent Line
Engravings of the statesmen whose name
head this article. They form part of a series,
embracing the portraits of .the distinguished
Living Southern Statesmen, which is being
published by that leading Southern Houses
our friends Walker, Evans & Cogswell
They are truthful likenesses?speaking im
ages of the great originals, and executed in
the highest style of engraving. They are
both splendid works of art, and destined to
take their places in the homes of our people
beside Stuart's Washington and other mas
terpieces.
The manly, noble, generous features of
South Carolina's friend, Gordon, stand out
as if endued with life. The fire of the un
daunted gray eye, the intellect of the mas
sive brow, the battle-scarred cheek, all show
the gallant man who has led, his people in
war and in peace?the prominent.statesman
who espoused the cause of Carolina, and in
the hour of our trouble.came nobly to our
assistance.
The Vance Portrait is a remarkable like
ness, an artistic -portrait, and portrays to
perfection the cordial, friendly, but decisive
features of this great man of the people, who
gossessing the tenderest sympathies, is the
?iend of every man, and a giant intellect, is
the leader and controller of a great common
wealth.. His assistance in the Hampton
Campaign can never be. forgotten by the
people of Carolina. These two pictures
should be placed side by side with that of
Hampton. I
