Governor Hampton was met at Charlotte by a special train, nn 1 arrived in Columbia Friday after noon, G iust. An immense concourse of people had gathered to hear him, and were repaid lor t! cir trip by the following speech from the people's Governor: Tin: Govarjcoit's Sim:i:ch. Mr. (.'hahhVtn ami >?// ( ouii/ri/ icumru und Quuntri/mv.n <>f Kn?llt (\n>> Hint : Travel worn and weary, I have come bach amongst you to make my report to my constituents. Tho.ie constituents are the true |>o >plc of ?^outh Carolina; and coming hereto my .-urprise, I lind a welcome which has stired my heart to its inmost depths. It is not a we home that a conquered people would give to a conqueror, i bring tio blood stained ensign. I bring no trophies fro m the battle field, but I come to say th.it the cause in which we fought, the cause in which you made me your standard-bearer, the cause of truth, has been victorious, and once more the banner of South Carolina, not carried through bloody fields, but through those more glorious ones of peace, floats overh State, free, disen thralled, regenerated and redeemed. Ami how has it been redemed ? My friends! not by blood, not by violence, but by the potential agency of the ;- ballot. It has Leon redeemed because the honest men of-South Carolina, of all races and of all parties, determin ed to wipe away the scandal which l.ad hung so long over her history. It was because we, saw that we would have to light for very existence; that all we held dear in the past was sink* big or being swept nw.iv; that the civilization of hundreds of years was being blotted out ! We saw that our eovcrn incut was passing into the hands of aliensanil uf strangers; and placing our can;-! in the hands of God on high, we determined we would make one more effort to '*e deem South Carolina, and if we should fib down it would be without- banners li .ating, and with no stain to disgrace that cause You fought a battle that has never been equalled on the American Conti nent. I scarcely realized in those days of peril and gloom, the grave issues whiuli were hanging on this eon 1 est. I did not realize them until I went to Washington. I tell you that :i musket shot in this town would have meant civil war on this Continent; and what stopped it ? j Cries of "You stopped it!" from the j cio.vd.j No! my countrymen, it was I became the peapie of .South Cunriinn ' were tin; most law-abiding people in t'tis country, and because they had risen ahove considerations ol party \ Iii:?] determined to save their State. j 1 tell you that though you have von this tight, though the men, or rather, j the women ? for it was the women of South Cat ol ilia who won the victory j ?there was not a wonian in th .? State i who would look upon a man who j turned his back upon our cause (the remainder of this remark was lost in prolonged cheers for the women.) Ymi won the victory at the ballot box; but then came in the more in sidiotis attacks upon us by fraud. From iho 7th day of November until this lime the viidiet of the people ol South Carolina expressed at the ha I lot box has been stifled. We have appealed, as peaceful citizens should, not to violence; for you know, there is not a man in Columbia who does not know, that when that crowd was standing out there, night nfter night, it required but a word to have them sweep, as the storm drives the leaves before i^. ever}' vestige ol'opposition away. Hut I felt 1 was safe in trust ing to your forbearance, in relying upon you to respect the laws, and in tolling you that, victory would surely come, if you would bo patient and forbearing. The courts recognized our govern ment, but still a usurpation stood in he way, and I knew that it wo'.tlj not do to resort to force to remove it. I knew tluit in the fullness of time our victory would he csmpletcd. 1 told you so. I to'd you that, if you would only whit patiently and trust to the j justice of your cause, and to the Al mighty, you would ho successful, and j now 1 am come to tell you that you have been successful. You have now all the practical recognition that could he given the government ol your choice in force; and just, here let. me say to you that I did not go to Washingtou to ask recognition, I did not. go there to oiler, or to hear, terms of compromise, or to lay my ease be fore any tribunal. 1 told them I held my title from the poop e ol'Sou'h ('andiua. T wanted no endorsement of iheir, and so long as they told me that title was good, so long would I grasp them l>y the hand. I went oil from motives of personal courtesy to the President. I went, oil a . emoci'at, as I am, and I say to you, ami it is but justice to a political opponent for me. to say so. that .Mr. Hayes, consult ii g his own dignity and respect lot the laws of the land, ami I hope for i he people of .South Carolina and my self, asked me to make no concession, no terms, and proposed no conditions, and as long as he will follow out. in good faith, the policy indicated in his inaugural, if he will do equal justice to all sections of this country, and see. that the laws arc enforced in Massa chusetts as in South Carolina, in Louisiana as in Ohio, if he will cany out in good faith all the pledges he has made and he a constitutional President, ar.d recognizing no party, race or section?so long will I support him. L have not fought this fight in South Carolina now to let any party afKliations keep me from anything that will promote the good of South Carolina. I wish to say to you, Forget, for the next four years, everything about politics. Forget that, you are Demo crats or Republicans; ami remember only that you are South Carolinians. Go to building up the material inter ests of the State, invite immigration, show the people of the North that we have no proscription in our hearts; that we will welcome him here who comes as a citizen, no matter what his politics may I e; that we are striving for the redemption of our State, not for petty ortiees of government; and then you will sec the era of peace, and a new prosperity will dawn upon South Carolina. Labor will be em ployed, you will see whites ami hon est colored men improving, happy, prosperous and united, if you will -oily forget politics for awhile and devote yourselves to the great interests of the State. Now, my friends! we can gain till the fruits of our victory but in one way, ill my judgment, and that is this: When in August last I was inaugura ted as yo tr standard-bearer,you will remember that I pledged n.yselfjhiit 1 should he the. < loveriior of the whole people of South Carbiiua; that I would know no race; no parly, no man, in the administration of the law. I pledged myself, on the platform on which I stood, ihat every citizen of South Cairo inn, white or black; would he equal before the law, sind I solemn ly appealed to Heaven and declared that, if elected, I would justly iid min.ster the. law and would know no difference between persons. I promis ed that when I was nominated, and 1 reiterated those pledges, lime and again, throughout tliu length and breadth of this broad land of ours, 1 told the Colored men I would fulfil those promises to the let ter; that if the parly which had nomina ed mcshuukl, at any time, go hack upon them, if they allein pled to lake away any of the rights now enjoyed by the co'orcd people, they must find some other instrument to carry it out; for, before I would doit, I would resign. And 1 say so again, now that victory has come, now that the whole State recog nizes the government which has been elected, and now that all the power has been placed in my hands; here where 1 took the oath of oilice, solemn ly swearing that I would obey the Constitution of the United States and of Foot Ii CaiVina, I say, once more, that I intend,|p help mo God ! to carry out every pledge I made, and to be Governor of the whole people. Now. my frjends, how can we bring about this coltMunnialiou so devoutly to bo withofl? How can wo bring happiness, peace and prosperity to our people? j?Vo can do it but in one way, and that^s that you must observe the law. I otnoin it upon you. I do not, issue a -proclamation. 1 do not give an order.* But I ask my friends of South Carolina, the people whom I have trusted and who have trusted me, and dono nie more honor than any other man, the people whom I love belter than .'anything in this life, 1 tislc them to (carry out in}' wishes. I until every ninu to constitute himself a eonservator.of the peace, to sec that there shall bo.no violence; to go around and tell y u'r ;ncighbors that, i f there is bloodshed or violence, wo shall loso what we bnvo gained; to appeal to them in thotuamo of South Carolina to carry on t this policy of peace. Tlio only difficulty that seemed to stand in the way at Washington was the frar that, when the troops were taken out of the way at the State House, thcro.would be violence. They asked mc about it, and I pi edged my honor; mark me, my friends! I p'cdg ed my honor that not one single man would go intq that State House unless he has sonic business there; that I would place two unarmed men there simply to . iuform the citi/.etn tint T requested them not to go there, and I felt assured, there would be no vio or excitement and the laws would be obeyed.rs" Have I promised too much? [Cries of "No!"] You have never deceived mc, I know'yoti will cany out this promise. 1 beg, I be seech you l- You have trusted mc ! trust-mc a-jftvln'longer. It is import ant for you. , It is double important for Louisiana, ti'id for the wIioIj country, that you do what I havo asked you. [Cries. "We will do it !"] I requested of the President that the troops should not be removed un til I got here. When that order conies, let nobody go to that StatoT louse. Just let stand until I want it, and I will tell you when I want it. 1 carried a letter to the President from a Federal soldier who bail been station* d in the State House. lie said the place was so filthy, an 1 so full of vermin, that he wanted to get away from there. I want the lire engines to play their streams'* through it for a while, and to have the Pcneilentiary convicts scour and .umigate it, and then we will have a nice Legislature and till will go on peacefully. The Governor dwelt, tit great length, upon the future, extent, and meaning id' the popular demonstration along 'his rotite to and from Washing ton, lie continued: Your destiny i- now in your own hands. It is for you to shape it, for weal or for woo. You can, by imprudence or violence, undo lb ? labor of months, and bring b-.ek lo us all the scenes of anarchy, corruption and misrule which havo prevailed; or if you are. prudent and discreet, as you have been,you can <oon place yourselves upon a higher and belter plane, and will sec peace, honor and prosperity opening on your Slate. You will sec both races and both parlies willing for awhile to for get the. bitterness of past strife, an d ready to cl sp hands, and move on, nnd lift up our old Slate. You will sec capital brought here, immigration will flew in, and you will find your old State once more exercising that controlling influence for good, in the national polities, which she has so long enjoyed and honorably employ ed. I beg yon to be true to that re cord in the past, to try every means in your power to ctiltivato good will between both races and parties. I beg you white men to show to tho colored men that what I havo said for twelve years is true: that you tiro tho best friends they have in this world. I appeal to the colored men to recog nizo the Government which is now firmly established, to trust us for a while, and as they nrc still iu tho majority, if the government I havo established, docs not carry out the pledges I have made, theo throw out all the men in olHce at the next elec tion, and put in anybody you please. With a general appeal to all South Carolinians, wherever born, to uiii to in one grand eflbrt to bring about the happy state ot a Hairs he had so glow ingly pointed, and with grateful ac knowledgment of the high honor con ferred on him by the presence and attention of so large a concourse of his fellow citizens, the Govern >r closed. itfhen and How lo Use Spo3taclo3 Hut in general it happens that people do not know precisely the time when spectacles become necessary. Many persons imaging there is a certain period of the human life when eyeglasses are required, which has given rise to that pernicious plan of runny self-styled opticians to prepare spectacles for every age, which they, of course, dispose of lo the ignorant and inexperienced. As soon as a man of fifty years of age, for example, has through any circumstances forced his sight for a few days, he begins lb imagine he must have spectap'e* These he obtains, asking for au.l try ing to obtain the best for his particu lar age, and after a short time lib probably arrives at the. conclusion that he can see better without them. The fact is that some men of seventy, or even eighty years of age, enjoy their eyesight as we 1 as at any period of their lives, while their children and perhaps grand-childien cannot do without eye-glasses. The time when this beneficent and blessed invention of the great Hoger Bacon?of the so called "dark ages"?is needed, depeuds not only on the special conformation of the organ, but on the care that has been taken of it?the proper use, or the abuse?the neglect of nice a'ten lions in washing, eet., or the misfortune of compulsory work too many hours, over very minute or shining articles, and with injurious lights. The simples t rules of ascertain ing the need of eye-glasses are, first, to note if you arc obliged to remove small print or small objects further than usual from your eyes in order to see them distinctly; secondly, if you find yourself i?voluntarily moving nearer to the light than usual with you in order to read a letter or book; thirdly, if very small objects appear confused after you hare looked at them for any length of time; fourthly, if the eyes, after a little close atten tion to anything, become so fatigued that you are obliged to turn aside to give them relaxation;and, lastly, it the sight on first awakening is very weak, and does not recover its custom ary degree of force until some lime after. As for the choice of eye glasses, here arc a few general rule to begin with: In the first place, good glasses ought never to magnify | the objects very much, but merely to show then; to us clear, simple and exactly such as they are. Even in the exceptional cases, where rather strong magnifiers arc needed, the proof when they arc too strong will he when you are obliged to bring the object mil eh closer to the eye than a sound sight requires?in brief, every pecson ought; generally speaking, to be able to read conveniently with Iiis spectacles at the s^.me distance he was accustomed to v hen his visu d powers were perfect. All eye-glasses should be formed of pure glass. There should be no specks, rays, globules, or other im perfections. Mr. While Cooper says, "There is a common prejudice in favor of pebbles, and they certainly possess two advantageous qualities?extreme hardness, render ing it di(lieuIt to scratch or break them; and clearness, never becoming dull from moisture." Surely these are important advantages, and they are also considered to be cooler than other glasses. The only thing against them is, they cost so very much more than all other glasses. B it good and true glasses should bo in all their parts of an equal thickness, in propor tion to their convexity, as well as of an equal form. Another test of true cye-glas3es is by hold thorn obliquely over print. :ill of tho letters of which will preserve their true character if the glasses are correct. It must never he lorgotlctl that tho frame in which eye glasses arc set must bo exactly suited to tho wearer, because tho breadth or narrowness of the uppar part of tho nose?in fact the spico between the two eyes?di Hers so mucli with diHereut people that the centres of tho glassos and tho centres of tho I eyes are sure not to agree uulest pro perly adjusted. For this reason, if there were no other reasons, it is best to have spectacles made expressly for you by a qualified optician. With tin venders of cheap speclac'cs "to suit all sights" this is never considered, because the wholesale manufacturer makes them to a common standard to suit all no-cs, and not tho hose of any "particular fellow." Frames that maintain their position by pinching the nose should not lie used. ?
