Rowe's on Saturday last and ratified the nomination of Hayes' and Wheeler. Gov. Chamberlain, lion. R. B, Elliott, E. W. M. Mackcy, T. A. Davis, R. II. Cain nnd others spoke. The Gov ernor was interrupted by various questions. Tho speech of Geu. Elliott was the event of the day. Resolutions were passed endorsing the Cincinnati nominees. -mm 1 mmmm Rice Slrikers. In June last the laborers iu the rice fields along the Combahcc struck for higher wages. By forbearance on , the part of the rice planters bloodshed was averted, and things moved along quietly until this week, when the laborers broke out afresh. Latest accounts inform us that the ring leaders have been arrested, and that the excitement has greatly subsided. Party Colored Extracts.

While leaving the ground where the speaking was going on, several negroes followed him, saying, "Leave here, and don't you ever put your loot in Orangeburg again I" It has transpired since that if Chamberlain had remained hero all ilay be would have got into trouble. There is a large number of leading lvtulicals here who swear that if he is nominated they will vote for Ilnpton. He was the guest of Dr. Webster, of agricultural college fame, while here ? a fact which of itself embittered a crowd of negroes againt him. [/'Vom IAc A nyuntit Chronicle & Scntcnnl Cor.] Chamberlain came on the 12 o'clock train and was taken in charge by the Webster s of Agricultural Col lege notoriety, and proceeded at once To the stand, which was about one quarter of u mile from the village proper. lie was invited here by the "trooly Toil," and was the first speaker. Ere he had said many words he was interrupted by a mean, contemptible, self-convicted thief who was joined by a few other jack alls, 'hyenas and fice dogs of the party, with a sprinkling of parasites, who, fat ten rug upon the corruption of Mo.cesr reign, like maggots in a dead horse, arc rww out of pocket ami waiting for something to turn up to their advantage.

The above named acadomy was a place of pleasure on Friday, the 18th insf., being the day of the closing exercises of the school for the scholas tic year, Prof. G. M. Yancy, teacher, The morning was clear, and old Sei poured down his rays of heat, as he bad done for several days previous; but this did not prevent the students, patrons and the citizens from gather ing at an early hour, to partake in .and hear the exercises. The little boys and girls appeared as eager for the contest as Macdouald's rielcm in the revolution. In the examination the students all acquitted themselves nobly, proving to the spectators that they had not spent the session idly, but in deep study, with good instruction from their teacher, bt was so satisfactory, that the patrons said, enough of that, lets have the speeches, dialogues, coinpositsons, c"co. There all per formed their parts with honor to thorn? elves and credit t<& the Prof. Ni.t a single failure, fronvthc l?gest to the smallest, occurred; all were good. ?All was now dismissed for dinner. Here, I fear, I cannot do justice. I am afraid if I say pic-nic, it would fall too far .short, so I will say that the long table was filled with a feast of fat thing--, and fine cakes, Aic. The children were formed in line (ns if going into bade) by Cllpt. Jas. Shii*or, who marched-them up to the long table, where the^wcro halted and gi\cn the command' to inward face. The. table was then tilled out with the holies; after asking a bless ing from the Great Giver of all good upon- the bounties He had so richly hi sowed, the inner-man was satisfied by partaking of the least before them.

Reed, having been elected, was duly commissioned by me as judge of the circuit court for the first circuit of this State to hold the said ollice according to the Constitution of the said State for the term of four years beginning on the 11th day of December, A. 1). 1874, and under his said commission has been and still is in. the actual peaceable possession and in the exercise of the duties of the said ofliec; and whereas satisfactory evi dence has been brought before me that W. J. Whipper, who claims to be the judge of the said circuit, but who has neither any commission as judge, nor has submitted the merits of.' his claim to the decision of auy tri bunal whatever, nevertheless is mak ing preparation and intends to enter by force upon the exercise of the duties of the said office, and in that character to resist and to encourage, persuade and conspira with other persons to resist by force the lawful authority and orders of Judge Reed ; and whereas a decent regard fpr the forms and principles adopted for the determination of conflicting claims to public offices requires that the claim of W.J. Whipycr shall be submitted to and be determined by a competent legal tribunal before any attempt is mado by the said W. J. Whipper to take possession of or exercise the functions or duties of the said ofliec. iiow, therefore, I, Daniel H. Chamberlain, Governor of the State of South Carolina, in performance of my duty, to see that the laws of the. Slate be faithfully executed, and not only to repress, vigorously and promptly, till riotous dud tumultuous disorder in tho State, and also by proper preparation and precaution to prevent the same, do hereby proclaim that any such attempt, as is hereinbe fore stated, by W. J. Whipper and those wiio may aid and abet him, will be regarded and treated by me not only as an unlawful and riotous dis turbance of the public peace, but. also as an outrage upon judicial authority, not to be tolerated in a civilized Statt'. Such an attempt at. the lawless and forcible usurpation of a judicial ollice, wrong in itself, as an attempt to oust a judge in possession without nil previous test of \iU right; wrong in its influence, as tin example of lawless disregard of well cstublish cd forms of law, by one aspiring to tho judicial office; is flagrantly and heinously wrong in its manifest ten dency to create tumultuous riot or a bloody conflict, a: d to exhibit a con tagious example, of disregard of law and right, and of violence which will bo likely to extend to other portions of the State now too greatly excited by passing events and issues. I do therefore forewarn all citizens of tiiis Stale against aiding or abet ting W. J. Whipper in his said un lawful attempt, and I call upon all the officers of the law in said circuit to exert their oflicial powers prompt ly and vigorously in sustaining the authority and executing the orders of Judge Heed, and in putting down all attempts in any manner to interfere with his discharge of the duties of his office. I further call upon all citizens to frown upon and discountenance any and all attempts to usurp the authori ty of Judge JvCcd, and, when called upon, to assist in executing bis orders. And I further proclaim that if the officers of the law in said circuit shall fail to discharge their duties as here inbefore laid down, I shall proceed, under the law of this State, to organ ize a sufficient force in the counties of Orahgcburgand Charleston, under the command of the lawful deputy constables < f those counties, under my own direction and control, to exe cute promptly and effectually such orders as may bo issued by Judge Kccd, as judge of the said circuit, whenever such orders shall be resis ted, and to arrest and commit all per sons who may oppose or resist his authority, or who may in contempt thereof aid in the execution of any order which may be issued by \V. J. Whipper until his claim to be judge of said circuit shall have been estab lished by some tribunal competent to pass fin al judgment thereon.

[From the Journal of Commerce.'] Ascertaining that Whipper, the would bo judge, was in the city, are porter of the Jouunal ?i'vCom>rbuck called upon him last night for the purpose of finding out whether his plans had been changed by the Governor's proclamation. Whipper lighted the reporter to the parlor. After a little general conversation, "business" was resumed. The open ing question was : "You've seen the Governor's pro clamation I suppose?" "I have." "Well what do you think of it ?" "I've scon it for the first timb to day, and hav'iit considered it mature ly; but 1 am at a loss to know of any law which warrants his interference." "Do you it-till expect to take the judge's scat?" "I hope to." "Do you intend to carry out your programme announced in your pre vious interview ?" "1 said at the time, that I'd take the scat if the court was in session; but in consequence of the adjourn ment that part of the programme can not be carried out; but 1 consider my self, after the 2<>th, judge de faetc und de jure, and shall govern myself'ac cordingly." "You hav'nt come to town with any view of making any demonstra tion on*tho 2t>th ?" "Oh ! no, nothing of that sort. My family is in town, and I merely ctune down to soo thorn." j "To what time is the court adjourn ed ?" "November, I think." "Your hands are pretty well tied then ?'' "I will not so consider them after ; the 20th, so far as tho judgeshiji is n nccrncd. As I said in it former ? imiw??! ? i gwa?? mwmrmwwmmUmmm ? ??? i im mm m interview, J shrill not hesitate tor per form nny of the functions of Judge in the Circuit nlor that time, unless on it more careful examination of the Governor's proclamation and the law, I lind some law which warrants his action," "You have not, as yet, settled on any definite time to take your seat?" ".So far us the scat is concerned, not until a regular or special term of the Court." "Have you any idea of calling a special term ?" "1 have not; unless in my judgment there is n necessity for it. Nothing in reference to my judgment will create that necessity." "Do you knosv what the o/Heers of the court will do in view of this pro clamation?" "I do not. I hav'nt seen one of them.'' Upm being asked to make any statement that be saw fit in regard to this matter, Whipper said: "In a former interview, I stated, in reply to an interrorogatory from you, that I expected no violence. My opiui on in that respect is materially changed. I think this proclamation will cause violence." "Do you think it will cause vio lence on the part of your adherents, or Governor Chamberlain's, or both?" ?'.Not on the part of mine in the first instance. I think it will encour age and embolden my opposcrs and enourage them to commit violence; while on the other hand, it will not intimidate a single friend of mine." "Then you think that violence on the part of your opposevs will cause violence on the part of your friends ?" "It undoubtedly will; but it will be under the color of law." "Where do you expect to derive a support from?a posse V "Most assuredly. That is-, under the presumption that the Sheriff will obey rae." ?'If JjImj sh-oriff refuses to obey you, then you will hsvc to resort to-the higher courts?" "Certuinlly." would be the consummation of the affair, and promising to omit all "trimmings" in his report, the repor ter withdrew, being escorted to*the front door by Whipper.
