Qi~he Mtn and M, rahlJ WINSB01tO, B. C. Thursday, Dec. 14, 187G. JNO. S. REYNOLDS, Editor. In the Constitutioial House, a few days ago, Mr. Sheppard, of Edge field, gave notice that he would in troduco a bill to abolish the office of county auditor and to devolve the dutics of that ofice upon the county treasurer. This is a good beginning, which the Houso will follow up with other needed re formus.1 The Rump Houso intends to order a new election in Laurens and .Edgeflold, for membors of the Leg islaturo and county officers. Of course, the election, if hold at'all, will be but an empty farce, and nobody need be worried over the matter. The members elect from those counties have certificates from the Supreme Court, showing their prima facic tight to their seats, and no election ordered by the Rump can in the slightest degree impair their rights. We publish the so-called "in augural address" of Chamberlain, because we wish the people to know the animnus that prompts him to action. The speech is full of the vilest slanders upon the good people of our State, and full of lan guage highly calculated to do harm. It is of course very plaintive, almost poetic, in its allusions to the danger *hich have beset the carpet-bag -qsurper for the past three months. Chamberlain's statements on this jbint are so glaringly false as not to need contradictit r. On Friday last Judge Carpenter, on the complaint of several tax payers, issued a temporary injunc tion restraining the banks in which the State funds are deposited from paying out any money on the order of F. L. Cardozo, late State treasur er and still pretending to hold that position. His legal term expired on the 3rd inst. Should the injunction be made perpetual, the funds now on hand will be safe, and the Chain berlain government will soon starve out, as the taxpayers will not recog nize any levy made by the Bayonet House. Tho suggesation made in the comn munication published in anothecr conmmhl is eminently just in its spirit. The men who are at work for the p~eople should certainly be furnished with the means of living while their entire time is devoted to the peole's8 cause. That adequate and early pro'.ision wi!l bo madle, we have no doubit whatever. Whet her it will b~o necessary to raise the Fubs'cr iptieni suggested by the writer, cnn l'est bo determined a short time latecr. We believe that the lawvful Huwe of Replrese.ntatives will in a very short t hio be in a porition to raise such supidies of money as mafy be neceseary for the purposes of government. rTis House is now legally entitled to pres an appropria tion bill, and should the body seeI fit to levy taxes for its support and for the 1nintennb of the State government, those taxes will be fully and promptly paid. Mean time it will be well for the people to bear in mind th~at their represen tatives must be paid, and to be ready to respond to any call that may be lawfnlly made upon them. The Charleston .Journal of' Com mer-ce some time since urged the claims of General Hampton for the United States Senatorship, and his name has of lat 'been frequently mentioned inl that connection. With a view to ascertain his position in the matter, a reporter of the Chiarleston .News and Courier ,re cently asked of biui an expression of his views. General 1Ta~iiton ie-1 plied: "When the beinocratic trodni nation for govrnor was made, my position~ wiasliat I should be gov ernal solely by-the wishes of the people. They were to judge how and where I could serve them best. If eerything 1 gcne smoothly tud the people had detmned that I could serve them in the Senate -of ctld -iedSae better :than I cod sgovernor, I should have abidod by, tlleir wishe bitsine the resent omplicatidnd, atra in views of the troubliet gondifion in~ which offirs afo at present; I amu attongly inclined to thinka that' our pegile, gUi'er the State,:lrr~qr inW to respain as governor. In reply, to a egg~est of the ieporter .to state Lis owu prefer'ehre ins the :n io Z dt ~m The New York 7ribune says: "It nay la misapprehension, but it looks as if au stianger. waqudering into Qolumbia at this tiroe would bo in danger of being seized and seated as a' meniber of the Republicans Legislature." Wade Hampton. We feel sure that the sketch of Gen. Wade Hampton, published in another portion of this paper, will be full of intorest to our readers. This sketch was writton by Mr. James Wood Davidson, a native of South Carolina, and possossod of both the inforintion and tho natural ability to do full justice to his subject. The account of the chief epochs in Hamp ton's career is both accurate and vivid, ani it will recall sconos fa miliar to many of our readers. But this short biography necessarily lacks an account of the most important period in the life of its subject Within the past few mon ths-since his nomination for the position of Governor of this State-General Hampton has shown his force and bis talents in a stronger light than over before. Fronu his first accep tance of the candidacy to the pros ent time his courso has been marked by a wisdom, a consistency, a ca pacity for leadership, rarely equalled and never excelled. Ho has had difficulties to encounter, such as have never yet boset the path of any other candidate for office. These he has appreciated, met and over. come. Not a single hasty speech, not a single act of indiscretion, not a single step inconsistent with his pledges to the people, does thero appear in his entire course. He has fulfilled every pledge, adhered rigid ly to every principle he or unciated. Altogether, his career during the recent canvass has been such as to prevent criticism from the just, to repell it from the captious, and to destroy its effects when coming from political enemies. Wado Hampton is to day the central figure in South Carolina-nay, almost in the United States. His every act is closely marked. And there is, above the rear of partisans, a voice of praise coming from the heart of the American people-a voice which neither the slanders of politicians nor the falsehoods of hireling ed(itors can yfeithier hush or drowvn. There is a seCnso of justice in the popular mind which is strong enough to give Hampton all, the credit lie deserves. He is nowv receiving some of it, and it will all come to him in time. TLd.n Elected. The suspense attending the count1ing of the votes for President andl( Vice-Pr eident is about over.

In taking his oath of office, the Governor is sworn to sul)port the Constitution: -of the United States and of this State. In, the eleation of President and Vice-President the Constitution of the United States is the paramount law. That instrument declares that no person holding an office of trust or profit undOr the United States Ashal, be appoinited #u; pleqtor. John W. Watts, one of the Electors voted for in Oregon, was, on the 7th day of November, holding an oflice of profit and trust under the United States, to wit, postmaster at Fay ette, the county seat of Yamphill county, and had so held that office for more than three years. Many more thiin the number of voters con stituting his IIjority had actually passed in .and out of his own oflice on official business. His official character was generally known, and was mentioned during the political discussions of the canvass. The law was known and the faict was known rendering him disqualiflod to be an Elector. A prottst was filed in the Executive oflico by prominent citi zens, objecting to the issuance of a certificate to Watts, as a person dis qualified, accompanied by proof of his disqualification, and domnUdingo that the same issue to the man eligi ble person having the next highest number of votes. A reply was filed objecting to tanything but a count of the votes and a certificate on the count,, and making no denial of. the disqualifyinig facts. It was ruled in the case that where the objection to an applicant's right to receive a cor tificate rests upon the ground that a constitutional prohibition is inter posed, the Governor, acting under oath to support the constitution, is bound to entertain and determine the question ; and not only that, but lie is to determine it in such a way as to enforce the constitutional mandate to the extent of his executive power. It was also held that the law and the factR being well known, the votes cast for the ineligible candidate cannot be counted for any purpose, and the eligible candidate .having the next highest number of votes was duly elected. This ruling was based upon standard authorities, such as Cushing and Grant. the decisions Of many courts, like the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals of New York, tie later uniform prac tice in the -United States House of Representatives, and the great weight of English authorities, both parlia mentary and judicial. The law of Oregon providing for the filling of vacancio; in the Electoral College recognizes a vacancy only in cases where there has been an incumbent, unless the next highest candidate should take the position, and there was no vacancy which could be filled by the other members of the Electoral College. The next high est candidate eligible under the Constitution of the United States wvas therefore certified to be duly elected. L. F. GRmovER, Gover nor of Oregon. Of course the Radicals are in a great rage over Governor Grover's action, alleging that it is entirely without legal sanction. If his posi tion is correct-and there is every every reason to believe that it is - Tilden is elected by a majority of one electoral vote The Radicals are now in an awkward yet self imposed, dilemma. If they hold that the electoral votes must be counted as they appear on the face of the returns, Hayes is defeated If, on the other hand, there can be a full examintion of tile Staite votes, the frauds committed by the Radi cals in Louisiana, Florida and South .Carolina will be investigated, the fraudulent work of tile Returning Boards undone, and Tilden and Hendricks declared elected by an honest and legal vote. The Radicals are indeed in a strait. The New York Jferal says :"By this astute manovre the supporters of Mr. Tildenl have captured. the strong hiold of the* enemy, and can turn bib own batteries against him. If one House alone cannot reverse Uhe certiflcates which bear the signature of. the governor and the seal of the State, the Detnocrats are thoroughly entretmcd on the ground selected by their adversaries. The rage of the Republicans at being thus hoisted by their own petard is as amusing as it is natural." c(oMMU.NIATED.] Give Our Le ulators the "Sinews Mr. .Editor: While our friends are exending and consuming theou' inerliies in the front, battling with the pen against the sword, for citi liberty, It seems highly proper that the citizens com Posing' thme, party of "Reform and Hjome Rule" throughout the State should assemble - in mass ineetings, and pledgie their respeetive counties ini theo amout ?f Sg or to4, taqus afddolars each for the "suppprt -of our self-denfying and bravo men;a for if successful, their glorious effort will line with silver the dark oloud that'261r so coixp14lyeig ivelopes Under Which KLag, Bozonian? 711M DUAL GO VIllMIYCNT STILL EXISTS IN COL UMBIA.

COLUMDIA, Docomber 11.--The wearying suspiense which has al ready lasted so long still continues, with no immediate prospect of abatoment. The Democrats appear to have adopted the policy of a siege, and propose to starve the Chamberlain crew from tl.ei- p( si tion. A temporary injunction has boon granted, preventing Chamber lain and Cardozo from drawing any public funds now in the banks, and it is hoped that the injunction will be made permanent on Wednesday. This will do more to cripple the Rump than any other possible action by the peopl . The Suprome Court having decid ed against the Mackey House, any legislation in which that body par ticipates will not have the sanction of the law, ind consequently any tax bill originating in it will not be recognized in the courts. This will prevent any collection of revenue in the future, and when this fact be comes known the Chamberlain mob will disperso. The Democrats, how over, are not idle. They are pro coeding through the courts, obtain judgments and heaping them up for the day of final reckoning. No stops are omitted which should be taken, and if the people will remain quiet, trusting their leaders, all will be iight in the (nli-that is, if right be possible at all in this horriblo national political muddle. A promi nont national . Democrat visiting here remarked in my presence a few days since, that the peace policy will win, if any will, and that violence at present is bound to hurt either side that resorts to it: and his is the generally conceived opinion among the wiser heads. A great many threats and complaints are heard, it is true, but it is believed they will signify nothing. TBE LLNTS OF LAST WE K contain nothling startling, and a general monotLony pervades Colum bia. On, TLhursday Chamberlain wvent throfigh the "farch of -an in auguration. He drove in a close carriage with the notorious Bowen to the State House, and entered the, Executive room, hanging his head as he0 passedl decent men. Tile corridors were filled with constabu lary, and a company of troops woere on the lower floor. At the appoint ed hour Chamberlain entered the Hall and in tile presence of about sixty persons, all told, took the oathl of oeice b~efore Probate Judge Boone, of Itichlandi county, and then read his so-called inaugural, whlichl consisted of nothling b~ut abuse of thle Democracy and glorification of himself. All this time the door was kept securely locked and guarded. In the midst of the inaugural some 0110 wishing to enter, and tile door not being promptly opened, made considerable noise kn ocking. Eye witnesses say that Chamberlain tmiined white and trembled, and could scarcely articulate. Whlen the intruder was discovered to be a black sheep hlimaself, and not the ringleader tof a band of ku-klux,. the doughty Chamberlain waxed valiant again and proceeded with his piece. His effort wvas greeted with three feeble cheers, that were not heard outside the building. This is the mlanner in which the defeated ex Governor once more pretended to assume control over the affairs of South Carolina. The Rump hlas been going on with the farce of transacting busi ness. A resolution was adopted, dircting a committee to inquire into the propriety:i of impeaching the Supreme Court Another reso lution was adopted to declare vacant thle seats of all members who do not return to that delectable body within five days. Another and still more ridiculous resolution was passed directing the attorney general (Elliott) to ascertain wvheth or the circuit judges were consti tutionally elected. The constitu tional provision is that they Ahall be elected by both houses in joint ballot. They have all along beon elected by both houses in joint assembly, but the voting wvas viva voce as the roll was called. The question is whether "joint ballot," thus used, means The depositing of written vot'es in a ilhlot--box or not As the conetitution provideA that all voting in the Legislature'kahal be viva voce, this Radical point will hardly hold water; and, passed as itis by a liutmp, will be echttemptuowly disregarded. "The Senate will niot try the impeachment -of the Su p reme Court even if the Rump brings it ; for a two-thirds - kote canuot be obtaiens. The Dein4 cratie Senators refuse utterly 'to recognize the Rump House in any way, refusing to vote on any joint resolution or to serve ton any oint The Constitutional Jouse is slow ly, moving along, trasuting routine business. It sent ' ~~~e wait on Runger aird s ta6 e 9 ve he o 'tWtb recogiZed Chamborlaii, and as Chamberlain ordered him to ,proct the constabulary he was compelled to do so. The, House, therefore, unwilling yet to provoko a collision, I omains quietly in the Carolina Hall. WHAT ORANT SAID. Several days ago Mr. Hewitt, the Chairman of the National Demo cratic Committee, interviewed Grant and telegraphed to Gen. Hampton that the President would recognize neither House till it obtained sixty three members having certificates fron the Secretary of State. The Democrats had this tolegram pub lishod, and it struck consternation into the hearts of the Rump. It had originally only sixty members, and none ocre wild enough to be lieve that any Democrats would go to itb Moreover, Reodish, white, of Orangoburg, Westberry of Sumter, and Hamilton and Myors, colored, of Beaufort had already left. At the s:me1 time tihe Supreme Court recog nized Wallace's House as the legal one, and this still fu thor weakened the Rumip. John Gibson and Daniol Bird, membors from Fair field, had announced that they would obey the Supremo Court, anid when this decision was announced they loft the Rump and joined the Con stitutional House. The noxt day, Bridges, a colored member from Newberry, also joined-mnaking the number sixty-throo, excluding the members elect from Edgefield and Laurens. Those delegations were subsequently reported on favorably by the committeo on privileges anil elections, and admitted permanent ly, thus making seventy one mom bers. Mr. }ew'tt thoreupon visited Grant, and the Washington papers s-ay he was informed that while the President would not recognize any House not having sixty-three macn bers, he had not bound himself to recognize the one which had. It is reported that Old-man-afraid-to-go home Patterson had gotton badly frightoned, and, summoning Zach Chandler, Father Taft and Don Cameron, had mnade an assault on Grant. The consequence was that telegr mams were sent announcing that the Cabinet would recognize Cham berlain's govei nment all through. The President, however, on the 8th instant, denied that the Cabinet had agreed yet to acknowledge either House, thus leaving the question still open. It is believed, though, that his present influences are hos tile to decency and good govern mont in South Carolina. Mgtters are too much mixed yet for him to take a decided stand either way. BCENIS AT TIE STATE HOUSE. Nothing very startling has occur red here in the past few days, except that the Ruinp to-day declared the oflice of the Chief Justice vacant, be cause he holds the professorship of law in the University, and passed a joint resolution proposinlg to enter with the Senate into an election oni Friday to fill the vacancy. A reso lution was also introdluced, to alppro priiate ten thousand dollars for the constabulary. The manner in which that sum wvill be raised, however, is not stated. The Constitutional House has ap p~oin ted committees, and is prepar ing a tax bill for thee nsuing year. It will be Iniodorate. The streets of Columbia are quiet, and the popjle complain of no news. Nothing can be gathered but specu lations and these are worthless. DIsTINoUIsHED vISITORs. A Congressional committee, head ed by ex-Speaker Sayler (Dem.) of Ohio and consisting of six Demo crats and three Republicans, is here investigating t'me Electoral vote. The members of course have no ju risdiction in State affairs, but they will possibly pas them in review inci dentally on their return to Wash ington. A Sena'torial committee of two Republicans and one Democrat will soon be here. The committees have a full corps of sergeants at arme, door-keepers, stenographers and clerks, and i presume will suc ceed in making the wvaters still mud dier. A LYNCHING HOAx. This city wan considerably excit ed last evening by the reported lynching of a number of murderers who had been confined in Abbeville jail. On last Monday evening as two gentlemen, Mr. Allen and Mr. Baker, were riding out of Lowndes ville, they were fired upon by a par ty in ambush and tbe former was killed. The intelligence spreading, a party set out in pursuit of the murderers. Near where the shoot ing occurred was found a wad, which proved to be a portion of the Union Jferald with the address of a notoria ous bl~ck desperado written in pen cil on the margin. He was arrested, and 'confessed that on the Sunday previous, at church, a band of sixty' had conspired to go through the cotuntry on the following Thursday night and inaugurate a keheral liaas sacr'e.

The Newberry iterald suffers from xel-ango borrowers Sumter has had an alarm of fire-no damago done. The notorious Adam Johnson, one of the Hussenrix murderers was lately captured. J. Bentchner's store in Florence was burned down last week. The cause of the fire is not known.

Carpenter's eye was put in mourning. Stephen Decatur Kirk has been hired by the Radical Electoral Col lege, to carry the vote to Washing ton. A colored boy shot and killed another in Charleston last week. Thk slayer claims that thokilling was accidental, but has fled. Three thousand, eight hundred and sixty.nine bales of cotton were shipped from Newberry during the month of November. Mr. C. F. Regan lost two bales of cotton from his gin yard in Marion co-anty last w Ak. A R:3pablicin voter borrowed them. Lawren-e Cain, the defeated can didate for SenAtor from Edgefield, has given notice that he intends to con test the seat of General Gary. The gin house of Mr. Wim. Rob ertson of Rock Hill wa-s destrond by an incendiary fire last week. his loss is about one thousand dollars. The United States Judges, Bond and Bryan, have decided that the, cases of the Ellenton prisoners must go before the grand jury. This puts ofl their trials until the next term. A young man by the name of Sea had his leg cut off while attemp~ting to board the cars at Hope Station, on the Greenville and Clumbia Railroad, last weeok. Six colored men chargedi with the murder of Mr. Alexander Gregg, which, as our readers will remember, was committed about a month ago, have been arrested and lodged in jail in Marion county. It is asserted that General lRuger, dressed in citizens' clothes, was seen hanging around the crowvds of Demo crats assembled in Columbia last week, carefully noting their utter ances. The Port Royal Standard, Smnalls' paper, says :"The late coin constituents of Hamilton and Mey oris will give them a warm reception when they come homte." No intimi dation in Beaufort. Robert Y. Neil, a former resident of Columbia, was killed at Prosperi ty, in Newberry county, by J. Drayton Brown, last week. Tihe de ceased received three shots. It is said the killing was done in self. defence. Maj. F. C. von Blorstel, an old and highly respectable citizen of Ander son, died at that place last week, after an illness of several weeks. The de ceased was a native of Prussia, and was an active member. of the Baptist church. A fight occurred near' Smyrna Church in York county, last week when a man named Barber interfered to make peace. One of the contestants in attempting to stab his opponent struck Barber in the head, burying his knife to the hilt. At last ac counts. Barber lay in a very critical condition..
