Governor Hampton's Return to
Columbia.
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

knowledgment of the high honor con

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. ? Fruzcr's

Owing to tho procession of tho
equinoxes, the winters of the north

alternate poriods, tho winters would
be mild and short, the summers cool

epochs have marked about ten thous
