E. ?. Ml A??AY? Editor. THUHSDAV M0BNIM6, JUNE 28, 1877. Tho election for Senator from Darling ton rJoutity, to fill the vacancy occasioned by Wbiltcmore'a desertion, came off Tuesday, mid there is no doubt that dpt. W. O. Coker, of Society Hill, tho Democratic nominee, was elected by a bandsomo majority over W. J. Whipple, the RcpuL?-car? cnudidftto. Darlington will hencefoith be a Democratic county. Judge Picrrepout, the United States Minist"/ to the St. James, seems* to use a reaper's pbrnso, to be "cutting a wide through" In London, which has induced tho belief there that be is immensely wealthy. Describing the mode of the American diplomat's life, tho London lPorW says : "Receptions half thc day, nnd dinners and balls at night-when will it all stop? It is enough to ruin an Astor. Mr. Pierropont should modernte bis transports of gratitude for hospitality recrived. He hu* already caused serious risc in the prices of poultry and Ai???fic?ii beef, mid ilia cook must be liuif dead with work. There is no sleeping within n mile of Cavendish square for thc rattle of carriages nnd tho sound of riot ous living." Mr. Picrrepont is evidently not hnrraused seriously by official cares, and from all account? bc, no doubt, finds it much easier to get rid of his large sala ry than the people of thc United States do to pny the taxes which raise that sal ary. Wu regret to ?ce, in Governor Hamp ton's interview with a reporter of the New York Herald, that he has thought fit to ex pt .KA a belief that tho great bulk of our State debt is perfectly legitimate. Without thc Governor had personally ex amined tho details cf this debt ho should not expresa any opinion concerning its nature, v^hilu tho whole subject is under going a judicial Investigation which ho recommended. Such statements aro cal culated to influence tho investigation. Whnt the people want nov; is thc truth os founded on tho facts connected with tho creation of this debt, and not tho off hand belief of nny person. Tho Gover nor also makes t. mistake, wc think, in KUpposing Mr. Hnyes to bo "a true man, who understands tho wants of the entire country." No ono . can bo a true man who accepta nu office which ho knows to have been stolon from tho people. No ' .10 can bc a true man who makes such appointments ns Stone for District At torney, of Dunn and Brayton for Collec tor o' Inicrnai Revenue in South Caro lina, or of Chamberlain for Solicitor of | tho Treasury. Governor Hampton is evidently ovor-gratified for the removal of tho troops, which mensuro Mr. Hoyes wns starved into by tho Democratic House failing to vote money to support the army while it WOB engaged in t coercing sovereign States. Another serious Indian uprising hos occurred in tho Western portion of Oregon and tho Territory of Idaho, in which the non-treaty Nea Tcrces red men wero the leaders. Col. Perry, with uno hundred soldiers and some ono hun drcd and fifty citizens and friendly In diana, marched against them, and came yppn them in tba Camas Prairie, at tho head of White Bird Canon, where tho troop? dismounted and Icffc about i$esty men to hold horses. These, seeing that tho Indians wero getting tho best of tho fight, fled p.xicipitutcly, and loft the horses to roam over tho fields. The In diana were victorious, and thc slaughter of citizens and soldiers was very great. Tho citizens are in a state of complete terror, and tho military forco out there is inadequate to protect them from the marauding bonds of Indians who aro scouring tho country, killing the real iier>L? and plundering their property. Arms and ammunition are being rapidly forwarded, and the troops will be rein forced to a small extent, but the govern* mont is acting entirely to? leisurely for such an emergency. Enough soldiers should bo forwarded to the. scono of trouble to subjugate completely these wild aa veges, and protect tho citizens of our nation from danger, whether they be inhabitant* of tho old States or of tho younger oues, or oven of tho territories, Continued ?. leniency has cucourag"?d these uprisings, nod it ls time to teach those unfriendly Indians that they will be forced to keep upon their reservations, iud that they cannot keep this country In conti .aed commotion hy tb./.. f,._. queut lawlessness. Judge HlKou, of New York, tho trus tee under the late A. T. Stewart's will, is obtaining for himself an odious notoriety by his r?cent order to iho managers bf the Grand Union Hotel, at Saratoga, which he controls, forbidding them to entertain as guests any Jews daring the present eeason. The Grand Union Hotel was built by Mr. Stewart at a cost of $2,000,000, and is one of the finest hotels ia tho world. Last season lt was largely nttcndtd during tho recreation season by wealthy Jewish families, and last week Mr. Jos, Soligman, a lending honker of Wall Street and member or the &/na> cate to place American securities, was refused accommodation under Judge Hilton's directions for himself or family ut thia Hotel. The acUon was n<? doubt prompted by the b?Rtr1 that this discrimi nation would bo pleasing to tho Gentile world, but we imagine the mistake v ".tl be very soon realized. It is a bigga'd and narrow minded act, of whhA'uy man In a Christian community sh. .ld be ashamed;. . To discriminate ugalast mea in public hotels because of their re ligious opinions ia simply contemptible. There is just os much reason for tho ex clusion of Catholics, Baptists, Metho dist?, Presbyterians, or any other de* nomination from which a "prbpriciov br bid ?ry Aa!? tn ay AttTar_ ^TKnjA ?(fl u pST fecfc gentlemen among the Jews ?s can be found in any other sect, and tb dis criminato against ft whole class cannot meet public approbation: No ons would object to tho ex?lttsib? of v-ich Jews as might make , themselves'?yrsonally ob soxio'-a, but common Kpnso, common justice, we TpJght say common humanity; demanda that Jcrvt arid Gentiles should bo r.ls.ccd upon ibo aame footing iso far na public acecntmodftiiou* arc concerned. Wa predict that tho result of Judgo KU " experiment will be Buch as to pre xny iiaitaUon of his course^ nrje NATION AT. FINANCE?. Thc silver dollar question is destined to piny An important part in the fixture of American politics, and its solution trill record the settlement of tho paper money question to a very great extent. Upon this isaiie thc inflation mania of a few years back is to he fought over again under tho guise of a new name, though the results dcr.cuding upon the settle ment aro vastly more important now ihan tl.?y havo ever been heretofore. At the times long yearn ago when silver and gold dollars were made a legal tender and medium for the payment of debts, both national and individual, tho quan tity of silver lu tho country was, com pared to the supply of to-day, very small, nnd the di ile renee between thc value of a silver and a gold dollar was not appreci able. One was aa good as the other for tho paymcut of debi*, and continues to bc so to this day ; but an ingeuious device was resorted to in 18711 by tim Republi cans tp^ destroy Bilver ns a legal tender, which was accomplished without attract ing much attention, hy simply amending thc coinage act in such manner as to omit the manufacture of Kilver dollars; after which capitalist* at thc North gath ered lip those iu existence as far u- pos sible and withdrew them from tndc by exporting them, and also by other menus, no that the ailvcr dollar i< to-dnj n rela tively rare coiu. Hence, .silver dollars remain legal tender.-?, bul they arc not within reach, and hence gold i* the only available coin for thc payment of debts. Of late years the yield of silver mines lins boen very grent, and as the credit of our government ls good, paper currency is preferable for exchange than fractional silver, and to-day greenback* and nation al bank note s are more valuable for large transactions than ?tiver, because tho former arc so much more convenient than tho lutter. Gold is moro valuable than either pa per or Bilver money, because it is prac tically thc only coin currency which is a legal tender, nnd ns the quantity of gold I ia small its value is likely In increase, if tho resumption of specie payment in to bo effected in 1870, as fixed by law;-for in that event every debtor would have to secure gold with which to pay off hin ob ligation, and the government would also ? havo to pay ita public debt in the sntnc coin. This would of course increase thc premium on gold, and bo very advanta geous to Northern capitalists, but at thc samo time destructif of Southern trade and industries. The Democratic party of Ohio proposes to avoid this state of afluirs hy cuusing tho coinage of silver dollars to proceed, and then as silver is so abundant and debts could cither bc paid in gold or silver dollars, thc monetary market of our nation would feel the change very slightly, if at all, and paper money would still ret?is Its ^uluo; for being more con venient for transportation than silver, and convertible into it at tho option of its holder, every one would prefer a one hundred dollar bank note lo ono hundred pieces of sliver. Tho effect of ndoptiug thia policy would bo to continuo paper money, but mako its value steady and regulated by specie. The policy of thc National Democracy will, in all probability, accord with that of the Ohio Democracy upon tho impor tant subject of finance, and the reasons for !? are, it seems to us, boin piain and substantial. Tho Democratic party is tho champion of justice ?nd equal right? to all men, and representing these great principles it ?B bound to advocate such a financial system as will tend to pine: both capital and Inbor upon tho samo footing, so far as a medium of exchange is co nc ern ed. To mako gold tho only legal tender ls calculated iu a largo meas ure to advance tho interest of bankers and capitalists at tho expense of labor and the industries which command small capital, for as tho supply of gold in not BuScicnt xor thc demanda of trade, tba came coin wooid havo to bc procured by an impracticably large number of persons to effect the changes and discharge the debts incident to trade, or an equivalent in other mediums would have to be ren dered, and as tho limited supply of gold would be in a largo measure gathered up by capitalists, the premium ou it would be considerable, and labor and trade would be compelled to hear the burdcu for which capital would derive the ben efit By making silver also a legal ten der the supply of tho medium for ex change will bo ampio to moot the de mands of trade, and business will move smoothly on. The Republicans, with Secretary Sher* mau at their head, will most probably nbo advocate tho remonetization of sil ver, or In other words, tho recoinage of the sliver dollar, but will also advocate making silver a legal tender for sums under filly dollars, and make gold tho only unlimited tender. Tho intention of this measure is fully in accord with the previous legislation cf Radicalism, which has always sought to build up monopo lies and foster the formation cf ringa for the purpose of defrauding or oppressing the weak. The injustice of this measure is so great that every one can at once perceive ita obvious purpose. If silver bo made a tender for sums below fifty donara, ail laborers and employees whuap salaries are lesa than fifty dollars a month would be paid off in silver, whilo the ?Argo creditor would require the gold. The result of such a course would be to depreciate silver and advanco tho price of gold in a manner most injurious to every one, except tho few capitalists who would be PO fortunato aa to havo large sums duo them. It is evident that such a policy would tond to build op the great centres of trade, where capital has accu mulated, at the expense of am all er towns. Fot instance, the merchant* of the inte rior a?ldom order a bill of goods less than fifty dollars, and hence their remit tances would have to be in gold or its tnjuic?i??u*, ?t?? SS ?i?c ???Rjti?i?y vi vC?.r sales to Individuals aro in small r.uma, they would be paid in silver, which, would be a depreciated currency. Tho t?amo principle .would be found to under lie oirxiost every a^sta of the business world, and its.injury woeldbe very great Another wrong Which it would do is to compel tho payment of the National debt ic gold when that debt we? con tracted to bc paid In geld cir silver. No w there is no reason why this- debt should bo paid in a d*>arcr coln than it wai con tracted ir?, and thc people aro not likely to advocate a policy the object nf which ia tr, advance tho interest of thc few to the damage of the immy. These are the probable financial char? acteristica of the two National parties, aud tho. contest promises to be a Tarra ene. The first battle is to be fought in Ohio, President Hayes' home, and ino prospect of Democratic success in very i couraging indeed. Even oid lien Wade say* tho State will go Democratic in Oc tober, by at least twenty thousand major? ity, and if lie gives it up thc Democrats have strong grounds for hope. Where? ever this silver dollar question is made an issue thc Democracy may calculate with reasonable certainty upon a trium phant victory. CHARLESTON JUKI KS. One of thc greatest curses inflicted upon thc people-of South Caiolina by Radicalism has been tho empanelling of corrupt und ignorant juries to sit upon thc trials of all cases in Court, whether they involved the persons or the property of our citizens. Nowhere hus this curse been more sorely felt than in fair Charles ton, Carolina'? City hy the Sea, w' >re thc venom of Radicalism, controlled by tho Bowens, Mackey s and such creatures, who ni.uiiiged the machinery of govern ment, has been most destructive to com merce and public safely. One of the greatest benefits to our State from Demo cratic rule is thc demolition of this fear ful evil, nnd thc blessings flowing from thc change have already begun to ?how themselves. At the opening of thc Court of (louerai Sessions in Charleston County Inst, week, Judge Recd, in delivering his charge to thc Grand Jury, commented upon this subject as follows: The Judge first congratulated tho panel upon the change ?0? affairs, and in this connection he said: Gentlemen of thu <?rand Jury, from henrinr your names called over, together with inc names ot thc persons summoned to appear before thc Court as petty jurors, and from your appearance in your places, I think I have cause to congratulate thc people of thc city and county of Charleston upon thc very rapid advance towards good govern ment in tile matters ^f juries at least. It hnB been patent to every one that during the psst few years the jurie? in this county have been made up, in large mensuro, of incompetent men-persons unlit to ?it on a jury, and who were violent and vicious. This condition of affair? was nut due to any fault or defect of the law, but rather to those individuals who were called upon to administer the law. The law by its very letter as well ns its spirit con templates that every mau summoned to sit on a jury shall bc a select man, din tingirshed among his fellows for his peculiar fitness fur that position. But unfortunately the letter and thc spirit of thc law have been alike overlooked, if not wilfully violuted, by thc persons whoso duty it was to prepare thc jitiy lists and draw tho jurors. If, therefore, we have obtained ut this session goon men, and have substituted intelligence and virtue for ignorance and vice, it is a strido towards good government of which tho country may well be proud. 'Your ditty, fen tie mon, i? nn important nii? to wards the court and the community in : which you live. You arc thc right nr.n of tho court, and are in a great measure tho conservators of tho public, poaco of tho City and County of Chailcston. If you will remomher thc terms of your oath, il indicates to you, in a great meas ure, the duties you are expected to per form and the manner for performing them. You have each of you sworn that you will dllligeniiy Inquire and true pre sentment make of all such matters and things as shall bo given you in charge. Thc State's counsel, your fellows, and youi own you will well and truly keep secret. You wi!! present no enc from envy, hatred or malice, nor will you leave any ono unprcsented for fear, favor, affec tio??, reward, or hope of reward. But you will present all things truly as they may como to your knowledge, according to tho best of your understanding. So j holp you God. That is thc oath that each of you havo taken. There will bo given you in charge by tho Court, through ; !.e Solle'tor, sundry bi UH of indictment in writib embracing ail thc species of crime known to our calendar. It will be your duty to inquire into them and pass upon them. The Court will also give you lu charge orally a number of public matters, which it will bo your duty io in quire into during your term of service. A crin's in the ?Snir? ?f rVznce has boen readied. Our readers are awaru that tho government of this ficklo nntion is nt present Republican in form, and that Clouerai McMahon is its President with a term of office which ends in 1880. At tho timo of his election tho President was an ardent advocate and champion of tho republic, and its destinies was considered safe iu his handj Slnco his inauguration, howevor, ho h. _ pursued n course tending to make tho form of government stronger and moro monarchiai in its real charac ter, while he hos kept up tho professions of zeal for the republic In May luiij thoro was a chaugo in tho cabinet, and a ministry hostile to tho present constitu tion waa formed, under which the admin istration made a ?eng strido toward.? ab solutism. The liberty of tho press was destroyed in a large mensure. Editors were fined and imprisoned for criticising the President or his government, and other acts hostilo to tho Republican' < principle*; . the government were per formed. The Chamber of Deputies which 1 corresponds very much to our Houso of Representatives, on tho 19th instant, after a spirited debate, by a vote of 868 tb 158 passed a resolution of censuro on the ministry as follows : Whereas, tho ministry formed May 17th under the presidency of the Duke Ty. - --il-.; ?? - Ji.-?:- --- public affairs contrary to tho law of the majority, which is tho leading principle of parliamentary government, and has, ?ince aasumlug office, avoided giving ex planations to the national representa tives ; Wherein it has incited the admin istration to crush universal suffrage Hy all tbs means at its disposal ; whereas it represents merely a coalition of monarch ists, guided by inspirations from the cler ical porty; whereas it has allowed at tacks on the national representatives and incitements to violation of law to cass unpunished; whereas, on all these grounds, it imperils peace and order, and disturbs business and gc.?.val interests, therefore the house declares that the ministry does not possess the confidence of the nation. Tho result of tuts action under the laws of W??mee, iequifes 0 T??? of ino people, and if they sustain the ministry no change will bo su*de. but If they sustain the Chamber of Deputies a nsw ministry will have ic bo appointed. Upon this elec tion depends the fate of tba French re public If McMahun ia not condemned, like Louis Napoleon and ii ko Napoleon Bonaparte bc will lead tho peoplo on by degrees anti! he is proclaimed Kiug or Emperor. The election wtfl bo ordered soon, and by its rejolt we may jodgo of thu ?tabli!ty of tho republic - Turnips of tho ruta-boga sorts may be sown at the ead of Juno. SUSTAINING ITS DIGNITY, Tbc following order wa* made by the Supreme Court at its lost Kitting : On motion of thc Attorney General, ?tis Ordern!. That thc defendant, F. L. Cardo?), do ?how cause before thin Court, if any he has, on the fourth Tuesday in November next, at ?! o'clock a. m., why the judgment rendered Against him in thc ?aid proceeding on the 25th day of November, 187G, should not be enforced. A. J. WILLARD, C. J. S. C. June 10, 1877. Similar orders were made in the eases of the State vs. William Stone, II. W. Purvis, T. C. Dunn and Ii. E. Payne, in rc Sims et al. vs. Hayne et ni., for con tempt. This action on the part of the Supreme Court is dignified, and most opportune und proper. Thc defendant*, it will be remembered, composed the board of State can vasse ra in thc hutt election, and in the performance of thc duties of that office disobeyed the mandate of thc Supreme Court as to thc manner of counting thc vote for thc various officers volod for tn South Carolina, for which contempt they were sentenced by the Supreme Court lo imprisonment and twenty-five hundred dollars fine, but were liberated in a few days in a most arbitrary and unjustifiable maimer by Judj;i: ??<MP), of the Uuiieu State's Court. To have allowed this to have been au end of thc ease would have been in the highest (legree degrading to the independence ami dignity of thc highest judicial tribunal of a great State. To establish as a precedent that a parti san und bigotted circuit judge of thc Coiled States can reverse the action of the Supreme Court of a State is to annul all the usages of the past, nnd Utterly destroy the last vestige of State lights. Hence, the propriety of the Court main taining its position; and Judges Willard and Mciver are to be congratulated upon the step they have taken to vindicate the dignity and uphold the jurisdiction of our State Courts. Without undue haste they have quietly ordered the parties to show cause next November why the original sentences should not be enforced against them. The defendants arc given ample time in which to make their an swer, and the decision will certainly be founded upon thc great principles of law, administered without partiality or preju dice. Judge Bond cannot, and even dares not, interfere to avert thc result of thc decision, and wv predict thc affair will result in these ex-radical chieftains having to pay pretty dendy for the whis tle which they were not permitted to en joy blowing very long. If it costs these men twenty-five hundred dollars each, thc privilego of keeping Mr. Cham berlain in office for thc short term of four months was scarcely worth tho money. Thc way of the. transgressor is hard. CHIEF JUSTICE WAITE DENIES. Thc following "letter from thc Chic! Justice, denies thu report started hy the Baltimore Sun. It will no doubt be gratifying to tho people of tho United States to know that the highest judicial officer of our government his not been guilty of tho impropriety charged. The following is tho letter of denial : WASHINGTON, D. C., June 18, 1877. MY DEAR GOVERNOR-I have to-day seen for the first time an article whicb, as I understand, has gonn tho rounds of thc press, to the effect that I was not satisfied with special attentions I received while 1 was in Charleston. Most certainly 1 hopo my friends will not believe me guil ty of any such foolish complaint?. ! have never said n word from which anj such inference could bc drawn, and nc such thought was in my heart. It bat annoyed mo exceedingly. My daughtei ia as much annoyed ns I nm with thit newspaper paragraph. I nm, as ever, very sincerely yours, R. M. WAITE. HON. WM. AIKEN. The campaign of Russia against Turkej has at last become, activo. Last wcok wt announced the reverses of the Turki around Kars, aud now we record thi long tftlkcd-of crossing of thc Danufas which took place at Ibrail la..' t Saturday amid thc greatest rejoicing of thc Rus siana and without thc slightest oppositioi from thc Turks. The Russian'' made ; strong show along tho river for a grea distance, and began heavy cannonading at several points, which no doubt deceive* tho Turks. The bridge nt Ibrail and tb< crossing was completed with very grea rapidity under tho very eyes of the Cra himself. Unless other European power become involved soon, Russia will con quer Turkey very speedily. Tho Otto man government is out of snoboy, am cannot obtain any, even by a forced loan It is invaded from two sides, and i strongly menaced by internal revoit* Tho Turkish management has been ex cccdingly bad.

A fow more weeks of HU*/.; blun dering will put an end to the t r*,nny c Mahommcdanism, and subject Turkey t the terms of conquering Ruasia. Tho caso of tho State vs. Charlea \\ Buttz, thc individual who pretended t bo Solicitor of thc First Circuit, and t hom wie omeo oi member o?

THE SHIELDS GUARDS. SPEECHES OF GOVERNORS ROBINSON ANO HAMPTON. (?Ide by Hide, New York and South Car olin?. AUBURN', N. Y., June 20, 1877. Au imposing d?monstration was made here to-day on tho occasion of thc visit of General Shields, Governor Robinson and Governor Hampton to attend thc Shields Guard anniversary. Thc city was decorated and an immense crowd of people fdlcd thc sheets alune thc linc of thc procession. Many officials and prom inent military gentlemen were in thc city, and the procession was nearly a mile in length. . TUE RECEPTION ADDRESS. Thc exercises were held in a grove near '.he city, and Uon. T. M. Pomeroy made an eloquent reception address, in which he refered appropriate terms to the distinguished gentlemen present and gave a sketch of thc organization and nistory of the military company to honor which they had come together, and closed by extending a hearty welcome to all pr?tent and by presenting the thanks of the Guards. His Honor Mayor McCrea then intro duced Governor Robinson, who was re ceived with enthusiastic rounds of ap plause, mid delivered nu address of wel come to Governor Hampton in behalf of thc Empire State. Bl'EKCII OF GOVERNOR ROBINSON MR. CHAIRMAN AND FELLOW CITI ZENS-I appear before you for tho pur pose of introducing to you a distinguished gentleman, the Governor of the .State of South Carolina, and welcoming him to this our own State. Governor 1 lampton, I nm uwaro that your visit herc is unoffi cial and prompted by motives o? personal friendship to the venerable veteran of the Mexican war who is with us and the mil itary organization which bears his hon ored name, but I cheerfully avail myself of the occasion to welcome you to the State of New York. In doing this I need not refer to events that have passed into thc history of thc country, nor those of a purely political character, but only to those of recent occurrence and national importance. Thc manly and heroic qual ities which you have shown within thc last six months have established your fame forever in the hearts of thc Ameri can people. (Applause.) When, after you uno been elected Governor by the ?icople of South Carolina, you found the 'api toi of your State in possession of fed eral troops forbidding your entrance and compelling the members of your Legisla ture to pass under tho censorship of an armed military guard, tho inevitable popular excitement created thereby spread over the whole country and uni versal apprehension and alarm prevailed. When it was seen that a single indiscreet word or action on your pnrt would rekin dle the flnmesofcivil wnrand again deluge thc land with blood you uttered no such word, you performed no such act. With patience, with moral courage and with absolute self-command you met the storm of human passion and arrested its pro gress with your own voice, and by your well deserved magnetic power over your ?ioop?c you uphelu inc rn nj os ty of inc ?nw. Enthusiastic applause.) You preserved peace ; you appealed from the injustice and wrong which you wore suffering to tho reason and conscience of the nation. Your appeal was heard ; your vindica tion came; truth and justice triumphed. (Cheers.) The federal" troops no longer mnrch through your legislative halls ; you aro fully installed in tho possession of your office aud your rights as Governor of your State. > Tho moral courage which wins such a victory under such circum stances ?8 of a higher and better order of heroism than is often shown on the battle field. I am sure that I speak the voice of the Empire State when I once more bid you welcome to her soil, alike for your per sonal worth and your high position in tho gallant State of which you are the honored chief. (Applause.) In these days of corruption and extravagance in tho public service New York is proud to hail you as tho chosen loader of your peo [i"o in tho wsr waged by all good citizens against official malfeasance and legisla tive traffic in the rights of men. (Great applause.) Tho record of your life as sures us that in this struggle for honest government South Carolina could havo no nobler chieftain and New York no r?ora worthy ally. (Long continued ap plause.) FELLOW CITIZENS-I have now the honor to present you His Excellency Wade Hampton, Governor of South Cnr Dlina. GOVERNOR HAMPTON'S SPEECH. Governor Hampton responded ns fol lows : MR. CHAIRMAN, YOUR EXCELLENCY AND MY FELLOW CITIZENS OF NEW YORK-I nred not say to you how pro foundly I L '.v i -, cen touched by tho too flattering remaries of the gentlemen who bave presented me tc you and how cor Hally I appreciate the compliments they liave paid my native' State. I come, as your Governor hos said, not in an official opacity ; I did not oven come to take m active part in tho demonstration of lie Shields Guard and citizens of Auburn, f carno solely to join in paying honor to i gallant soldier and my old friend, Gen irai Shields. I carno at his request to >ring from South Carolina that flag which waved over him In those glorious rattles cn the hills and plains of Mexico -that ling which derives not a little of ts lustre from his brilliant achievements. Applause.] That was the flag-(hero he battle flag of the Palmetto regiment iras hold up by Captain nognn and re lived with cheers)-that was the flag, ny friends, which was first placed on tho vails of tho city of Mexico, over "the inila of tho Montezumas." It was thu est flag to wave es the conquering army eft the capital, the regiment remaining >y request of the Mexican city authori ties and forming the rear guard. That -egiment, my friends, went out 1,100 ttrong, comprising the best blood in the stato, young mon buoyant with life and tope. It returned to South Carolina villi 220 men, and now but a small rem nant of them are left to guard thu sacred ?elie. I am sure they would have loaned t for no other purpose than that it night here do honor to a mon who did . ..--._ 1?, /A-1 ...... -, ~ \-ri-----/ THE LATE CONTEST. Your distinguished Governor lins been dcascd to allude to tho contest in South Jarolina. That, my friends, was not a political struggle. It roso far higher han any such contest over waged on this ?outlnent. It was a contest for civilis.. ion. for home rule, good government, for lfe itself. It was a content waged by the people of South Carolina, cot, as dema gogues would tell you. against Northern nen: It was a contest waged against 'amet-beggers, and when I say carpet bagger I mean by that thief. (Applause.) IVo do not call any Northern man, any Irishman, any German, any Englishman ivho settles in our midst as an honest cit izen a carpet-bagger. We welcome such sith open arma. Wo toll them to come lo our genial skies aud fertile soil. Come me, come ali, and i piedgo them in tho name of the State a hospitable, wann icattcd reception. Wo do not ask whether tbsy are Republicans or Demo crats. I want to impress this upon your ninds, and will do it by an illustration >f what was done by the Democratic Legislature cL'South Carolina, almost its int action, whon.a vacancy occurred on ibo Supremo bench of that State. A ihief juttico waa to bo elected. It was a ?UGO which lind been filled by men of Ito rory highest reputation in our common wealth.

I come, as I said, to do honor to my distiugushed friend, General Shields. He wore thc blue, and I wore the grey, but wo can let thc curtain drop over those years and go back to the time when that flag, borne by him, waved alike over the men of thc South and the men of thc North, and wc can look beyond to thc future when through all time that flag shall float over a freo and prosperous ami reunited coun try. (Applause.) I say this to you-a Southern man, a rebel-for when I fought I fought ns hard as I knew how against you, and I say also that if that flag float?, as it should do, over free and equal States ; if it shall be thc symbol of liber ty and equality and justice to all thc States, and every man of every State, thc men of the South will honor it and love it as of old, and t he time may come once more when New York and South Caroli na shall stand nhouldcr to shoulder against a common enemy and their blood mingle upon thc soil. (Ap plause. ) My friends, I shall bear this cordial greeting back homo with mc to tho little Palmetto State, and assure our people that your hearts-here throb kindly for us. I trust in God that a better future is before tho whole country, and that wo shall have peace, prosperity and liborty to cvory man upon thc Continent. (Ap plause.) SPEECH OK GENERAL SHIELDS. General Shields was then introduced and said : FELLOW-CITIZENS AND FELLOW-SOL DIERS-I left home the other day to visit Auburn, expecting to make tho acquain tance of tho Shields Guard and thank them for the honor of bearing my name. I expected to make tho acquaintance of a good many people of Auburn and thank them for the kindness they have shown all these years to tho Shields Guard. Rut such an occasion ns this I did tiot expect, and am a little bewil dered ; such a brilliant spectacle I was not prepared for. I did not dreom you had such a great city here, and that you would turn out to give mo such we'some. If there is ono company in America that ought to be proud to-day it is tho Shield Guard of A urara. Hero is tho Governor of your g.cnt Empire State, New York, a man that I was moro anxious to seo than any other man in tho State. Why ? Because tho name has been borne over our prairies until it hos become a house hold word with us, and I will give you the reason-his incorruptible integrity, his inflexible p"rposo, ming above thc Sitiful devices of tho politician and con ucting the affaire of this great Stato in tho interests of the wbolo people, ile is hore to-day to welcome tho Governor ol o', gallant, chivalrous South Carolina (applause)-and also lo welcome me. (Applause and laughter.) This company deserves a great deal of credit for what it has dono, not becauso it hos kept up my nnuio,. though I am most gratified for that, (I had a great many companies called after mc once, but when I went into obscurity they weut into nothing ness), and their captain is a man of vim. 1 do not buliovo there is a mau on earth could havo dragged mo from hocie but that samo gentleman. Bul I thank him from my heart and thank you citizens of Auburn for bringing mo here. It is a glorious day in my life ; and hero is tho Governor of South Carolina como to honor the annivcronry, Wade Hampton aavior of his State. If ibero is one mau in America who should be welcomed in our State that man ia Governor Hamp ton. (Applause.) There does ubt live a people more ready to appreciate truo ?realness than the peoplo of this great )mpire State. Ho luu redeemed South Carolina without doingewrong or injus tice to any man, or class of men of any color. What a magnanimous example to other State? of the Uniou I Yes, he is welcome here and welcome ovcrywhoro iti ?liij Ki-/-.orl lani) Ha ia a inr."j"",. live man. Ho represents his c./n State; represents American manhood ; repre sents the best qualities of human nnturo --justice, moderation, and true American conservatism. (Applause.) Napoleon onco ?aid of one of Ms generals that if ho hod a hundred such men ho would placo France c-: the head of tho world. If wo had a succession of Governors like Rob inson and Hampton it would place America at tho head of tho world. Now I am coming in for a largo share of praise for all this, and that is what be wilders me. I am not a Governor nor a distinguished citi?.cn-1 am simply a private citiren, living iu retirement and almost obscurity. I am a kind of far mer. All my reputation is that I am an honest man and about tho poorest fnrmer in Carroll county, and yet this has great algnificance ; it bas a proat. roany mean ings, Twenty-five years ago th'is com pany waa ?rg*- cd In Auburn. It as sumed my m ..o and emblazoned it on ita standard. It has kent up that name for twenty-five years : it keeps it up now, and it bas never sullied thc name from that day to thia. AW UNouLLrarl NAME. . Sixty-seven yean ago I.was born tc tho inheritance of that name. I have borne it for that number of years through All thc tr?ala of peace and war. Youi gathering here, to-day ls a calif?cate tc all the world that thc name you bear and thc name I bear is still unsullied. Suet a certificate was well worth a visit tc Auburn. I suppose the members of thii ?oinpany, like myself, aro all "adopted .iti7/Min; and I toll you we will not yield o any native citizen in fidelity to tJin [Jutted States government. Tho Irish ?ovo proved it on many occasions, in .very battle field in America and in ail countries' I believe. They aro fond of a IVec fight. (Laughter.) They lovo a jattlc for the excitement of it, not from love of CT mage, like the savage or Baibi llazouk, but for tho fun of tho thing. [Laughter.) A reception ia houor of the ais Lluguisbea visitors was given in thc even ing by Hon. Charles N. Kow, which was ittendcd by 4,000 people. Tho festivi ties of thc day closed with a militar** ball it thc armory. Thc election for members of thc House i>f Representatives from Charleston Coun ty took place on Tuesday last, and tho result is extremely doubtful, though lt will bc ascertained very soon now. Thc Republicans nominated a portion of the Democratic nominees on their ticket, and the election of these meu is certain. The Democratic ticket is composed of Messrs. C. G. Mcmrohiger, B. H. Rutledge, Ber nard O'Neill, C. IL Simonlon, F. Mc! chers, J. F. Ficken, G. 'jamb Buist, D. \V. Erwin, 8. C. Eckhard, R. D. White, R. B. Rhett,T. B. Hacker, B. K. Kinlock, E. O. Hall, J. C. Cain, J. C. McKewn, Henry Harper. This is a very strong nomination, and we hope it has carried thc County, thereby redeeming it for thc future from Radicalism. The case ol* thc Penitentiary convict, Peter Smith, who was pardoned by cx Gov. Chamberlain, and who obtained a writ of habeas corpiu directing his dis charge from Judge Carpenter nt thc time he made his famous decision recognizing Chamberlain as Governor, has been de cided by thc Supreme Court.- Judges Willard and Mciver concur in making the following order, which reverses Judgo Carpenter's order, and remands Peter back to the felon's cell : SUPREME COUKT-APRILTKRM, 1877. -Ex parte Peter Smith, Habr?s Corpus.

It is with sincere regret that tho citi zens of Greenville will learn that the Question of tho removal of tho Southam tnptist Theological Seminary has been settled, and thnt thc next session of the institution will bo opened in the city of Louisville, in the State of Kontu'Yy. This decision will deprive our plate in tho winter timo of quito a number of residents, who contributed socially, relig iously and financially to its prosperity. Tho Seminary created nn atmosphere for good in thc city and surrounding country that no other institution can produce. In consequence of its long location here, the people in tho country adjacent to oar city have been accustomed to much Biblo instruction and expounding of the j***** *" tr?uK?, n? icu ?ney w??i mm bc forced to relinquish.
