T- urlay, an. 1l, 1877. JNO. S. 1!;YNOLDS, Editor. One fdore Point for Hampton. T elegnu selnt onl Sitiday by 'resident Grant to;CGonral Augur, while souewvhat discouraging to Ni"11chc-, is a )Cint in fLvor of H ap ton. The Presidontt assumes tlat as i qu< rum of the TEgislat uro. h1oh ing certificates of the returning board announced the election of Packard as Governor, it will be his duty as President to recognize Packird if thore should be a neces sity of Fedoral recognition. Now, Hampton in Sonth Carolina holds the same vantago ground in this, particuiar ns Packard, besides having other superior claims. The Wallace House mot with a quorum including the eight members from Edgefield and fU-mrens who hold certificates fromio the Supreme Court. Not content with this, however, the Democrats gain-ed over a sufficiont Mnuber of Republicans to constitute a house of sixty-threo members ac tually holding certificates from the canvassing board and the Secroinry of Stale, and not including the Edgefieldl and Laurens membors There was then no donbt about the legality of this House. Its first act after being so constituted was 60 confirm its previous organization. The next step was to considor the case of the Edgefield and Laurens membors. Theso were seated by a vote of sixty to three, an actual quo rum of members a bout whoso elec tion no doubt existed being present andl vot'iig. This act gave the dis plted dologations the full privilege of mebiho.rshiip, and settled their ciso finally. The House then o-i braced seventy-ono members, and during all subsequent deliberations it cont-tined a quorum. The gubor natori' voto was ceuntedi, and Wal, lace, th. Speakor of the House hav ing a ile:; g;iorumi, declared Hainp ton GoC nr 1R P'reo lent G1ant adheres to the d1eVirinttion <expressed in the tolo. graim to ( en.

The State and that ional Demnocracy. nm' e en;m in Ian1 idhle gamoII ini at teming t; pro12vc the existence of' r, aismu '.Yween thle .Demiocracy of thian Stito andc theo National Demczioerney, or else in endLeavorin~g to creato eone. Tlhe Democorat ic party of South Cairolina stands nhouldler to shou'ier with its kin.. (dredi organbi -t on in th~o other Statasn. There is no weakening in tis l'art of the line. It has been argaed that the National party gave no aid to South Canrolina during the recent camnp'ign. Wheother this is true or net~ in~t of no consequence. The0 fight e::taled along the whole line andl~ eatch comibaitant had his own hands full at home, without attempt ing to bear t he burden of any other. South Carolina's own sons, unaided, achieved a victory umn paralleled in the annals of political warfare, whether considoredl in the light of theo overwhelning odds ngainst which they were comipelled1 t~o cope, or in the light of the re suits. The counsels of Hampton and tihe patriotic response made by every Democrat. strengthend 0( im measurably the cause of Tilden in the North, and the National Democ. racy are prepared now to awvard amlel piraise and more solid bene fits. The seating of Tilden in the Presidential chair mewansa reform in the National goverinent, a total change in the tone of tile admninis trartion, and what is of more interest to us, lasting peace in the South. Hampton will be the governor of South Carolina in any event, as no adninistration will care to go into power over the ruin of a State. But with Tilden'as President the State aad the N..t'onal governments will be in full accord. The Repuiblican party since the war has boon1 a'party of hate. Its career has been characterized by not one act of magnanimity to the peo 1)10 of the South. The concessions it has made have been wrung -from it through the growing power of the D)omocracy and tihe ihmate sense of justice of tihe Northern iudepondent votsr. It han rkn nbidme to the mrast tudo of thu Southern Demoerats for its past. Ahd it fut ther gives no promiso of a wiser sd mor0:e con ciliatory spirit. If Uay s 1) soated hoe will owo his ilevat ion to glaring frauds and political brig iida'4go ''ho corrupt elemen is of hiisi party, will have achieved tho vict.ory for him, and Choy nmst he consitIed o to the Courso of hi i init;1rationi. That he is a good mntan it; geinrally admitted. That he has proven hun silf a weak mian,1, no ono can deny. Tho Southern iIqiocrtsa cann:L, coquet with him. Ho is a usurp:,. Should h1l. be seated, which is im probablo, tho South will occupy rolitively the same position towards him, to a Iodifie-l extent, that Georgia and Alabama and other Democratic States occupied towards Granit. The people of the South know till thir. They therofore look t o Tihler, and deinand his inauguratioin. They will not ight for it, howev(r, becauce they are tired of war, anl beliove that the Northern Dermocra cy arostrong enough to take caro of themselves. But they will most assurodly givo no cefiort to the Re-publicans. Goverrer IHunpton has denied, as ove!ry o1C eXI)ecte I he would, that ho Ens made or will mpke any overtures to aityes. J e knowts thit Tilden was elected ind ho dosires his inauguration. In thi ho is in full accord with the S4:itc Democracy. And although efforts, will doubtless still be umade to alienate thec Coilponenit i"ari s of tl. National Deiocracy, they vill not succeed. Tho party iever was stronger, and nevoer niore imited than it is to-day. It, is the popular party, the strong party, nim. it hsiv right on it. side.
