13. B. MURKAY, Editor. THURSDAY MORNING, NOV'R 28, 1878. BY TELEGRAPH. ffptXtal Dispatch ta Aitderrnn TiitrMiirnr/r. COLUMBIA, S. C., Nov. 27. Thc Legislature organized yesterday, lion. T. H. Jeter, of Union, waa unani mously re-elected President pro tem. of thc Senate, and Col. T. S ..oho Farrow Clerk. In thc l?ense Hon. John C. Sheppard was unanimously re-elected Speaker and Col. John T. Sloan Clerk. Prospects of a short and working session are good. The United States Court is sitting, but Judge Pond bas not arrived yet. The election cases aro expected to come off soon, and there is very little doubt of a complete vindication ol our people be fore thc Courts. E. B. MURRAY. THE CHAMBERLAIN CASE. The indictment of Ex-Governor Cham berlain for official misconduct had been looked for by our people until they al most despaired of any effort ever being made to bring thc great carpet-bagger to justice for his misdeeds while nu office holding citizen of South Carolina, and when thc announcement was made that he waa indicted, it produced different emotions in thc hearts of our people. Wo presume that there is is not a patriot iu South Carolina who docs not feel that justice rt mi rcs thc punishment of Mr. Chamberlain and bis associates for thc crimes which are alleged nnd be lieved against them, but there bas been so much dallying with these criminals by tho Slate, nnd so much talk accompanied by such meagre results, that wo nro be coming heartily tired of the whole busi ness, and before any expression as to thc proceedings in ibis case, thc general de sire is to know whether in common lan guage it means butin?t, or is simply an other of the ninny farces we have been compelled to witness growing out of the fraud committee's report. As soon as thc committee began its work, General Connor, then Attorney-General pounced down upon Carpenter, Smalls nnd Cur dozo, convicting each of them, nnd pro curing proper sentences in each cuse. Circumstances nt this juncture compelled his resignation, and since Mr. Y'ouuuins has been in office there has not been an other trial, and even tho appeals taken in thc cases named havo not been de cided. Tho only effort which \\ . new Attorney General hus made was toncClire II. II. Kimpton, nnd in that case be treated with him, instead cf arresting him in New Yrork, wbero bc would have b ;eu delivered up, and allowed him to flee into Massachusetts, where thc whole matter ended disastrously to tho Stale. Now thc ntovo upon Mr. Chamberlain is made, and the people nrc anxious to see whether it is to end creditably to Ge State, or to add one moro to the comedy of errors to which wo have become ac customed lately. Wo aro told that Mr. Youmans is not responsible for the Kimpton fiasco, and no doubt it is true, but tho unfortunate position in which he has been placed in that ense only ren ders it tho more important that there should be no mistake and no fooling in the Chamberlain case. There hos been too much leniency to the criminals in South Carob un, and instead of caging them by inflicting thc punishment the laws made by themselves impose for thc crimes they committed, wo have simply exposed their crimes and allowed them to scatter throughout tho whole Union to traduce and villil'y the people who were short-sighted enough to allow them lib erty i nt read of giving them n peniten tiary cell. The result has no doubt been disastrous in a political point of view, for theso mon havo represented themselves as victims of political proscription, and their .statements have beeb plausible, for it is unreasonable for a Stato to have such testimony as wo claim to have against thc whole of the Radical crew and yet do nothing to bring them to punishment. Tho policy of forgiveness hos been a mistake, uud should bo in dulged no loigcr. These fugitives from justice aro procuring tho arrests of our citizens and firing tho nation's heart against the Southern pcoplo, nnd yet nothing of any consequence has boon done to put a quietus on '.norn. Not only do we think Chamberlain should bo vigorously prosecuted, but Whittc more, Swails, Scott, Patterson, Kimpton, Cardozo ?cd all the lenders should be in dicted und punished or vindicated in tho Courts. If this is done the enemies of the South will lose some of their most effective instruments, and tho crusado against our people will have much of ita bitterness taken out of it. The policy of amnesty should bo changed for thc policy which justice requires, and then thc honor of the State and tho cause of good government will bo subserved. The people cf South Carolina received the news of tho re-election of Hon. J. B. Gordon, of Gcorgin, to thc United States Senate with delight. Tho Legislature of that Commonwealth could havo chosen no moro honorable, trustworthy or dis tinguish man to represent them in tho nation's councils; and ho will be not only a representativo of Georgia, but of tho whole South ns well. His superior as a statesman and patriot cannot hn found in this union, and his noble de fence In tho past of our oppressed and downtrodden South, coupled with the great services rendered to our own Stato two yean ago, has rando him especially dear to the people of South Carolina. When Gordon and Butler are joined after tho 4th of March by Hampton and Vance, what noblor representatives could wo detrito? * As will bo seen by reference to au Article fa another column Judge Press Icy has granted tho motion of Attornoy ?General Youmcns to appoint a Receiver for tho Greenville and Columbia Rail road, and has appointed General James Conner, of Charleston, as snell Receiver. This action of Judge Prcsslcy, we are satisfied, will meet with tho hearty ap proval of a)i coBccrnod. { A man in whom the publie have more confuienco ?could not havo been placod lu charge of tho affairs of the Road, and thc creditors may rest assured that tneir interests will ?bo carefully guarded by.Gen. Connor. * THE BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION, The. fifty-third annual Convention of thc Baptist denomination of Sont!?

The principal subjects that engaged the attention of the Convention were Furman Uni verity and Missions, State, Home and Foreign. Thc Board of Trustees of the University was re duced from twenty-five to thirteen lu number. The work of Slate Missions bas been well managed during the past year, and the results were encouraging in consequence. Rev. A. W. Lamar was continu;,', as the Corresponding Secretary ! and General Agent of tho Executive Board, which has control of this impor tant work. The report of tho committee on Home Mission, by which is incant the missionary work of thc Southern Baptist Convention in the Southern States ami Territories, called out a number of dele gates, who entertained tho Convention with Interesting speeches. Over $500 was pledged hy delegates present to help on the work, and it was thought that as much more could be raided by them when they returned to their rcspi rt!va churches. It was suggested Ihne Dr. J. B. Hartwell, who has been a mission ary to (.'bina for about 20 years, out who is at present necessarily detained in this country, should bo placed in charge of said mission. Ti. j report on Foreign Missions and the speech of Dr. Hartwell took a hopeful view of missionary work in China. The Convention got through with bus iness on Saturday night, but the formal adjournment did not take place until Sunday night. The meeting throughout was characterized by a spirit of christian courtesy and harmony. Sam Lee, of Sumter, who has been one of the most active of the Radical fomciitors of strife and discord between thc races in the lower part of the State ever since the ?ar, ami who was Speaker of the House of Representatives umler the Moses oligarchy, and subsequently Probate Judge of Suinter County, bas Bullio to grief at last. He was arrested on the 20th instant, charged with irregu larities und misconduct in the discharge of the latter office, and in default of bail, which was fixed at the small sum of $500, was lodged in jail to await his trial before the court. This mulatto scoun drel has done everything in his power nonius! the interests nf the- wll?tC people of this State, and it affords us pleasure to know that he is in a fair wry f .. once to receive li ii just dues. * We are glad to inform our readers that Governor I lampton is steadily improv ing. His recovery will be tedious, but no apprehension is felt against its cer tainty, so far as human skill can foresee. He rests emily and maintains the utmost cheerfulness. All talk of amputation lias ceased. * WASHINGTON LEITER. Fruin Our Hernial- Cui-r?.-K|>midrnt. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 23. While the city is filling with strangers, ind one sees familiar faces of Congress men who return to servv> nut tho three remaining months of their terms, thought.-; and incidents touching this one md that naturally come to mind. None but those who, on duty right here, have ;een the coining and going of men in public life realizo how rapidly thc scene manges. It is like tho evolutions of thc Kaleidescope. The men who are to day be leading actors in events, and whose ives seem closely interwoven with thc country's being, to-morrow step down and mt, seldom missed. Now and then one dected to Congress returns year after fear, and becomes n land mark ns it .vere ; but as a rule lucy serve their brief lay and pass into oblivion. Everybody is talking ubotit thc unu sual changes in the personel of the next House. It is seldom that so many prom inent members aro left out at one time, yet perhaps there never was a time when n clean sweep could bc made with less Jctrimont to the public goon. Nearly half tho members of the present House failed to be returned, and tho unfortu nate ones are about evenly divided be -ween the two parties. I met Abram S. Hewitt to-day and observe that thc trou bled-almost pained expression of bis countenance ba- not departed. Of all tho unreturned members none will be moro generally missed than Hewitt. He suffers greatly from dyspepsia, nervous ness and loss of sleep, which renders him very excitable and irritable; yet with all that bc is a worker and a thoroughly honest experienced man whose useful ness is tho greater from the esteem in which ho is held by bis associates of both parties. But he remarked once that he did not regard John Kelly a states man, nnd for that error of judgment Kelly named nnother man to represent tho district when the noinitmMng conven tion assembled this year. Hewitt was a un mm ni tue joint ??muittlea tuai framed the bill creating thc Electoral Commission, and in tho sincerity of bis nature took a good deal of stock in the candid professions of his Republican as sociates on the committee, particularly Hoar ami Edmunds. Both thc latter were put on the commission, to assist in | construing the law which they lind help ed to create. After it became evident that these two statesmen wcro voting to exclude evidence regarding the Louis iana and Florida frauds. I have aeen Howitt pacing the floor of his committee room declaiming against their perfidy. lt is said that he sleeps fewer hours than any man in America. Somebody recent ly told the ->lory of his discomfiture by a crowing rouser in the vicinity of his quarters. Ho stood it as long aa he could and then offered a colored waiter fivo dollars for "that d-d rooster's head," and it was shortly brought to him like John the Baptist's, on a salver. The thrifty waiter bought tho rooster for aov enty-nve cents and sold the remains to Wolcker for fifty cento, which, with five dollars for the head, made n comfortable profit out of the transaction. Money is no object to this sleepless Congressman. Ho is very rich, and buys any house that ho fancies he can sloop in. Ono winter he rented elegant nu: rtoiu here, and'then took all the adjoining apartments to pre vent being disturbed. In doing this he .-ul Senator C-unkling out of his former quartet's, or.? created an unfriendliness which lasud some time. Another of the prominent unfortunate is Milton Saylcr, who, had ho been re elected, would very likely have succeed ed Randall as Speaker. A combination >f elrcumatanccs favored his selection. Savior M one of tho "good fellow?" in public li!'?-, whom everybody liken, and ? man ol considerable ability withal, yet he is not essentially a leader, nor in met a worker. He I J *? . - - good company, good wine, with ea-c and comfort, Thc boys say, too, that be is not averse to a little gamo of draw. In habit and disposition Baylor somewhat resembles Carter Har rison, another western member who failed to connect. The Chicago papers face tiously talk about "Our Carter," but lu re t.t IIiiniiiiigt</ii livia known as ? Marine Ila ad Harrison." At the fir-t session of I the Hth Congress Holman of Indiana, and sonie of ibo oilier economists, who have no music in iS ir soul-, undertook to cut the item for tho support of this baud out of the appropriation bills, i Without that band hie al ibu capital would be reduced to a barr, ii ideality. Harrison took in the situation and rose 1 lo tho occasion, lu an oil-hand speech bc detailed bow bf proposed, Upon the ' election of Tilden, to cock his feel upon 11 thc balistradcs of the While House, and 1 'en to the heavenly mil-! ! ol'that band 1 just as the Republicans bad done. Thal 1 settled it. Ile had created a bingil and j saved the band. i inventor Swann, of Maryland, is an- 1 other of the old .stagers who got left. The Governor hus been in Congress live j terms, and wanted to come again ; bul he ' got married last summer to a rich old ' girl, a widow of sixty, and while oil' ' courting and honeymooning some ol' thc * younger bloods in bis district set the pins ' lift against him. The Governor is very ' rich tii.d most too old to bc of great use- 1 1111 f i ? -i in Congress.

"Fernando" is the only one ol'three who comes back, and he had a tight squeeze, both in the nomi nating convention and at the polls. He lost casie somewhat with the party by bis course during tho exciting times of the electoral conni, lt did louie strange to -ce this old Bourbon Democrat hobnob ing with F/igciie Hale, ami other Radi cals, and laking tho leadership of the 1 Republican* against those of his own party who were determined to defeat the munt div filibustering. Hostility to Til den bas been assigned as util1 nf tho pro pelling causes. There is not a greater aristocrat in manner, bearing and gen eral appearance, than this same Fernan do Wood. He is as straight asa ramrod, while from bis dress, dignity, white mus tache and soldierly carriage, one might readily mistake bim for Kaiser Wilhelm. I f he was ever popular with thc rabble, as must have been the ease in thu palmy days of his career in New York, it was before he married a rich wife and took to the exclusive ways of bloated bondhold er?. On the other side of the house there are quite as ninny notables to sink from .I,., \f ,,-,,1, I.I I -... - . I tai Li ia i itu mic! Ai uren -no. r.ugene i a ti ic is among the first. II?' is considered a man of lair ability, hut bis chief prominence 1 as u leader comes from parliamentary I knowledge, and a tendency to get on hit feet oftener than any body else. When (Haine was in the House, Hale was such a close, follower of his that Cox one day in the heat of debate termed bim "Blaine's little pup," but the language was withdrawn. The name oftenest applied to bim is "Bub" Hale, nnd I am not quite certain whether it arose from his relationship to Zach Chandler, or his Lieutenancy to Blaine. Townsend, of New York, is another of the vanquished. Ile is the humorist of the Republican side, though there is nothing so very funny in anything ho says. Besides these there is Blirchard, of Illinois, dress parade Banks, and last, though by no means least, Usn. Butler. But I must cut this thing off somewhere. PHONO. (.RAM) BURST OF ELOQUENCE. Senator Gordon, in a recent speech be fore the Georgia Legislature, after re ferring deprecatingly to the recent speeches of Senators Blaine and Conk ling and Secretary Sherman, said : "Will tho masses of the Republican voters sustain these lenders in such a policy of oppression ? 1 cannot believe it. I cannot believe that they will bo sustained by that wing of tho party w hich supported President Hayes in hu patri otic recognition of tho fact that the war was ended, in the withdrawal of thc troops and leaving Louisiana and South Carolina lo exercise tho rights of self government. [ A pplause. I "I wish you also to know, my country men, thlit there are hundreds of thou sands of patriotic men in that party, who if they saw our danger and the reaction ary dnngor to them, would unite with you to avert it. There aro thousands of Chistian men in that party who do not sympathize with these wrongs, whoso hearts bled for our recent afflictions, and whose purses were employed to relieve Southern suffering. [Applause.] That was a spectacle that presented the better sido of these men, and was a spectacle that touched and moved the great South ern heart, and caused it to beat once more in responsive throbs to tho great heart of the North ns deep calleth unto deep, [loud applause,| ami Southern prayers ascended that Jehovah would not only reward them a thousand-fold, but that this great Southern woe, made national by Godlike aym| alby, might be come the grave ot ali seen.mai animosi ties. "But now, w hat a revolution ! What a contrast! At the very moment when Southern suffering and Northern be ?..li cence were binding together these es tranged sections, these grave senators seek to reopen the wounds that were healing and to revive the passions that were dying. At tho hour when good will was being restored, when races were at peace, when bulb race* aliko were en joying the blessings of education and good government, these leaders bring out ihe bloody shirt again, and run it up the party staff and fly it as a symbol of a new civilization and restored Union."

White, who has been preaching at Ivingatree, Mount Hope lind Forreston, and who was but recently married, while coming from Manning to Sumter in a buggy with bis wife, was -hot in the head and killed by some un known person. He was carried to the nearest lu.usc, (Spencer Davis'.) nine miles from Sumter. He lived hut twenty minutes, lie waseu^uated at the South ern Baptist Theological Seminary, and wa* a young man of great promise. He was born in Ireland, and was a delegate to the Baptist Convention, which as sembled here to-day. There is great ex cit incut among thc few who knew this sad event to-night. Colonel Walsh, act ing ( oroncr, Dr. John S. Houghson and others leave immediately to hold an in quest and yost mortem examination. SU MT Blt, S. C., Nov. 22. A />o#/ mortem examination of thc body of Rev. R. E. White was made to-day, about 1 o'clock, by Dr. Ilughson, at the bouse of Mr. Spencer Davis, nine miks below .Sumter, which revealed a gunshot wound just above thc left ear. Th'.' bill! penetrated thc brain, making its exit through the opposite parietal bone and producing death in a tew minutes. It is supposed that the murderer mis took Mr. White for a gentleman of Clar endon, who took au active part in th interests of thc Democracy in the late campaign. This morning Richard Coleman, a col ored mali, living live mile below the scene of the murder, was arrested and bulged in jail, circumstantial evidence being strong against him. The funeral services of Mr. White took place at thc Baptist Church this after noon. Thc Baptist State Convention, now in session at this place, attended in a body.

Tin: CRADLE AND TH;: GRAVE.-It was a smart saying of General (?rant, to ward tho close of the war, that the plen tiful lack of robust warlike material in the Southern Confederacy had compelled the recruiting officer "to rob the cradle and tho grave." It was a memorable ex pression, ami bas been perpetuated. Thc editor of the Petersburg Pott, with a lively acknowledgment of tho fitness of things, ami, with delicate Irony, turns it against thc people who are looking to ward tirant to save them from them selves. Our esteemed brother says: "We aro {dad to observe that since the close of the war all thc robbing of cradles nf living children and graves of dead men's bones has been confined exclusive ly to the North and West. The kidnap ping of poor Charlie Ross and other in fants, and tho daring robbery of the graves of Colonel Harrison, of Ohio, and A. T. Stewart, of New York, present the horrifying picture in its true colors. No such atrocious crimes as oither of those have been heard of in any portion of the South." We arc sorry to apply this phrase to the manufacturers of it, but it is a chick on that bas como home to roost with thc traditional curse upon it. - A new scheme of taxation lins been proposed In the constitu tional convention of California, some thingafter the plan laid (?own by Hon. 3eorgC W.

It is described as 'graduated progressive taxation.'" nnd provides for a division of the land of the State into classes, the valuation for the purposes of public revenue being depon ent on the number of acres possessed >y each tax payer. Thus it Is proposed O add 50 per cent, to tho valuation of and when the bolder thereof owns moro han 1,000acres, and the assessment is to ie further increased in proportion as lwncrshin comprises Increased acreage.

Alter a small amount of routine busi ness I >r. J. M. Manton, Master ol thc State Orange of Virginia, delivered the address of welcome lo the National < ! range. Tin? Master's report was then read. In conclusion the following suggestions are made : Firsl. This session should he as short and inexpensive as possible. Second. The .vi-dom of this body should he taxed to project p! .ns for the revival of dormant Grunges, Third. In every proposed change of laws, opinions, regulations, ritual, regalia or anything else, the stability of our or der should be closely consulted. Fourth. A new book has been publish ed and circulated at very considerable expense, containing the Constitution and Uy-Laws of thc National < ?range, cere-, mollies appropriate fur installation and ^ funeral occasions, for the dedication of ! s Grange halls, rules for the organization ] 1 and government of co-operative associa- ' v lions, the declaration of pi. >oses, a di gest of decisions and opi ons. parlia mentary law, &e. This '.viii be likely to instruct and govern our members for ii \ I long time to come, and hence the fewer | the alterations made, consistent with our ? general welfare, the more reliable and] more valuable will be this compendium. Fifth. Article XII of our Constitution I reads as follows : "Religious or political questions will i not be tolerated ?ts subjects of discussion j in the work of the order, and no political or religious tests for membership shall be applied." Every single member has dedicated himself by solemn act to an inflexible support ol this provision. The pleadings ol' shrewd demagogues, the tow? ring ambition of selfish, insidi ous leaders in times of intense excite ment, may create a temptation to cut loose the Grange ship from her secure moorings, bul au unswerving fidelity to obligations assumed will prove an anchor both sure and steadfast in sessions of cajolery and trial. Every sein bianco of au infringmciit of our fundamental law should be sedulously avoided. Fanati cism, political or religious, if given un bridled license, with torch and axe in hand, w ill sooner or hiter seid thc doom of a society or :i republic. Sixth. Let the doctrines enunciated in the "Declaration of Purposes" bo regard ed as immovable landmarks. Seventh. Standing, as we do to-day, upon a soil made illustrious :'s the ".Moth er of Presidents," and sacredly holding the ashes of him who was ''first in war, i | first in peace, and first in the hearts of I >? his countrymen," let us, tho representa tives of lue agricultural classes of this country, ami tiie descendants of revolu tionary sires, solemnly resolve to uphold and maintain forever the "unity of gov ernment." At night thcro was a reception at t'.ie Capitol, where Governor Holiday deliv ered an address of welcome, which was responded to by Master Adams. Coi. Lamb of Norfolk, the Hon. I). I'. Chase of New Hampshire, G. W. K?rner of Augusta, and Col. D.W. Aiken, of South Cand?na, iiLo spoke. Col. Aiken began by apologizing for speaking. He. had spoken so often to them, and did not care to go over thc same ground ; not that there was nothing to say. Aa the drunken man said of the road, it waa nut the length but thc breadth of the subject which appalled him. There was so much to say. There was nothing, next to the Church itself, w hich was nobler than this Order of Patrons. They .sought the good of their fellow-man-tiley sought to elevate the farmer, and not only him, but they made him bring his wife olso ; and if there was a bachelor farmer around, he soon found a wife to enjoy the great blessings of the order with him. The Order of Patrons, as had been said, was non-partisan-non-sectarian. Away up in tlie snows of Minnesota he was a Patron ; in sunny Florida or in his own home he could be no more. Finding out that he was in u fair way to make one of the best speeches of the evening, Mr. Aiken thanked the meeting, and rather abruptly concluded. Grand Master Hliintnn, at thc close of Mr. Aiken's remarks, declared thc meet ting adjourned. At the conclusion of the oxerciscs Governor Holiday was introduced toil number r.? the delegates and their wives. Thc reception was a pleasant one in every respect, ami seemed to have been highly enjoyed by all present.

Thc defeat of tho Democrats am ireenbackers in Ohio may prove fatal t he chances of Senator Thurman for th 'residential nomination, and il is allege hal the prospects of Mr. Tilden ar vauitig, in consequence jf the succ?s vb ich has so far attended Mr. Kelly i tis manipulation of the Tammany voti L'hus, the names most familiarly assoc ited with 'he great political event i .'.;<>/ uio|> oui, ot ;uo scratched ono u mc.

The ay, however, that the man for the fir: tinco must belong to the Valley of Mit issippi, for all sorts of candidates hav icen run from the Atlantic States, an I ways to defeat. Seymour, Creely, Ti len, bailed from the Empire State; s ii the west the voters are determined I lave for the first place on the Democrat icket a Western man. Who is the pu le over which many fertile minds are i ror!:, though the dark horse maj .ri mt of his own accord in the in erva ?'bereits for the second place there seen 0 be no difficulty in the selection. A cady Governor Wade Hampton, ofScui /Urolina, has been named, and ho ii] ears to lill thc requirements udmirabl 'ho South demands a candidate of i wn on the ticket. It is felt that tl ilace must bc second, not first : and tl ian, one to whom no serious objectif mild be raised. Some urge a fusioi ames which would represent the pr ailing sentiments of the party, and i 1 alleges, of tho counUy. They si hat the Democrats aro helplessly spl n finance, therefore to take any polit ian is to cast away many voies. Tl nilutionist would be opposed by the r umptiouist without reference to part nd the resumptionist by the influtionii in Eastern man is objectionable to tl Vest, and the West has scarcely a statt nan around whom the East would rall ?et us cast these issues aside, and sek distinguished Northern general for t 'residency, and a distinguished Soul rn general for tho Vico Presiilenc oinbining on the same ticket the m rho oppo~ed each other most manful ii thc held ; a fusion tie!-*?, to represe econciliiition. General Hancock, it is pretty general (knitted, would suit for the lirst plat nd General Hampton for tho secor lovernor Hampton's reputation in t s ort li is almost as good as in the Souf mr is it confined to party: for ho is i arded as a statesman, imbued, it is tri iib Southern views, yet sound, pat tic, honest, and able. Several Soul mers havo made a reputation in C? ress of late, but no one has acquired ame so high for executive ability. T ohdnct ol tho government of Soi 'arolina since the collapse of thc carp ag regime han stap:ped General Wii lampton as the man for thc posit'u t required tact, judgment, knowler] f diameter, the diserimientinn win caches how to act in tbcxo intricate on ?Helling tho relations betweon the rac lone but a mau born to the work cot ave succeeded, while few reared cn I pot were qualified to utilize whate nowledge their rearing havo impart 'or none but a superior man coi iso above tho prejudice, the scntimc enerated in the locality ; and nowh tronger than in South Carob lampton was born to tho inheritance lan talion-; and slaves. Ho was educa ti the r , of tho most arrogant of t rie", .icy. Tho Palmetto Stato prii tself on tho lead it assumed on quest! I termed "domestic." It was typical be feeling that prevailed south )ixie's line, as was Massachusetts on thor sido to the North. It was So ?a roi i na that led in the war ; and lass to which Governor Hampton nnged were its leaders, alike in be ndin council. And it was they who nost ; who wero tho chief sufferers, rhen it came to bealing tho wound ho prostrate State, nt the moment w ace was arrayed m?.3t bitterly aga ace ; when tho flag under which the nibliciius rallied throughout tho Nt ras thc "anti-shot gun policy" of So 'urolina, to General Hampton all c urned, and bis was Ibo band I Ifectcd tho cure. Ho knew how to < iii.ito ; bow to soothe the irritatioi lioso who looked to him as a folio' .bile bo could command the coulait nd lovo of thu colored popubit imminently fair in bis dealings, ; anally disinterested, and having a lt apacity fur comprehending what ubmitted, he dealt out justice ; ?nae s to become n butler between connie ictioiu-those who bad been opprcs nd those by means of whom the car aggers had been unfcblo to opp: "bo consequence was peace where mit had prevailed; honesty of admi ration where corruption was tho r ignity end good order in offices .'gislative halls at which the world cen jeering ; indeed the change C ot escape tho observation of the cour nd has done moro .han anything els I suppress ldc MM?-Southorii cry (ip which " eenuin politicians relied to rally thc ' Republican party. Th'?"* appeals to passion were destroying a machine which ought to have beut utilized in controll ing the great questions ?d' the day ; ques tions concerning the repairs nf the rav- | ages of the war, which, owing to the party neglect, had been allowed to run riot in inflation theories and communistic doctrines. It has, therefore, been felt | by lii?ac uiint quuiiueu io form au opin ion that more is due to Governor Hamp ton for removing thc "bloody shirl" from politics than to any other man ; though ihe cry has really been more injurious of late to the Republican than to the D?mocratie party. Still the drift of both has been towards dissolution, <lue to the inability of either till lately to take a stand on the true issues. Re lieved from the Southern question, the real points upon which the battle of party bas to be fought come ont ; ami on these the rally is being made. No Southern name stands higher in the North than that of Wade Hamp ton ; yet, no man stands higher in the South*. His own section cannot acenso him of what in it would be deemed a shortcoming; no betrayal, as there re garded, ol' his State, ot his section, of his party. He threw his fortune and bis sword into it? scale, and served with distinction throughout u war which re duced him from wealth lo poverty. The efforts which have commended him to the North have been more successful in re-uniting than were tile sacrifices which commend him to thc South in disunting. He failed where it was well for the con tinent, for the republic, perhaps for man kind, that he should fail ; and he bus succeeded where it is certainly well that he should succeed ; displaying not only an admirable temper but a Bound judg ment mid an executive ability. These are thc reasons which have made the name of Wade Hampton so well receiv ed when it was suggested for the second place on the Democratic ticket ; and so general is the approval, that the Gover nor, who might prefer a sent in thc Sen ate, may have to bow to public opinion and reserve himself for the nomination that looms ahead. - A Texarkana lady is the mother of twenty-three children-all alive. - The pigeon roosts of Forrest county Pa., netud the bunters about $8000. - General Beauregard is hard at work upon u book of recollections of thc late war. - The total number of students now at Yale College is 1,022. - During thc past year New Jersey ppet $1 ,'..72,1)32 on her public schools. - There are 1,289 convicts in thc Georgia penitentiary.
