Ho war. reared In the school that knew only obedience to the sov ereignty of the State. The pride of the South Carolinian had taught him that his was the noblest and grandest of all the Commonwealllis—an empire by courtesy called a State. The sov ereignty of the State had beenMiaught in his mother's lap. in every school he entered, from every pulpit from which he heard a minister of the Gospel, and the great statesmen, such as Calhoun, Me Hurtle and Haync. bad adv<xat< d it rcavalry ! force was then In pis^cwdoii of Uiat 1 town and wan moving in the direction of Ctuunlicndiurg. It was start ling Intelligent^. Indeed, and it ' seemed Incredible that a Confederate force would attempt to raid Chambcrsburg, only an hour's, distance from Hagers town, where there was a large t'nlnn force, will) ample time and equipment to bring it t<>any point in the Cumlier- land Valley. I waited for an hour and was advised of the progress of Hie Confederate force as It moved steadily toward Chatnbersburg. I telegraph ed to the fJnlon commander at Hagers town, not knowing who he was. stat ing the. facts and suggesting as a matter of precaution that a small force of Infantry and artillery should Ire hurried to the defence of the town. In charity 1 will not give the name of the Union commander, tfTio answered that the suggestion of a Confederate force entering Chamlicrsburg was too absurd to be considered. Half an hour later the advancing Confederates had reached Chamliersburg turnpike, and were moving directly upon us and only ten miles distant. 1 then repeated an appeal to the Union commander at Hagerstown, stating the facta and urg ing him to send a force to intercept the enemy, as there was yet ample time to do so. hut the only reply was an Intimation that military com manders* had no time to waste on lunatics.

From tlicn uulll tIn- lust few vejnw 1 met him many tlnu« In Washington and was always de lighted to enjoy his genjai and kindly companionship. He had liecn a ran- didaje for Governor immediately after the war and iiefore the Congressional reconstruction of the South, hut was defeated by Governor Orr. In isTt}, w hen the isjople were goaded to des peration by the licenHous ctirpeUhag rule of the State, Hampton was forced, into the campaign for < Jovernor against Governor Chamberlain, who was great ly the I test of all the carpet baggers of the State, and who would have made reputable Republican govern# ment bad It l»een possible. The con test was one of unusual desperation, but with all thtf"power and machinery in the hands of the State authorities, sustained by the army and by a State constabulary that permeated every precinct, Hampton, was elected by 1,134 majority. A State return hoard In South Carolina had the authority to revise the returns and it IsKlity threw out the counties of Edgefield and Laurens, the first of which gave :»,ooo Democratic majority and the second 1,100, by which it returned a majority for Chamlierlain of 3,433. The Senators and Representatives elected on the Democratic ticket in those counties were refused admission to their seats and the result was the oiganlzation of two Legislatures and Hie inauguration of two Governors.

This may be true, although Mr.-Parker does not assure us that he always has been free from ‘‘that tired feeling” under other skies. When, however, lie attributes what lie terms “the heavy . foote<\ progress of tlie South" to the climate, he goes iieyond his personal experience and strays into a vast field of general dis cussion and investigation. He hit upon a handy and familiar reason for the difference in conditions North and South, but tliis explanation is not So easy as it ifsiks to the multitude of minds which hastily adopt it.

He surrendered with Johnson's army to Sherman in North Carolina and returned to his home with the hope of gathering up some remnant of his broken fortune. • From the day that the war ended no expres sion of bitterness or resentment ever came from Wade Hampton. On the contrary, he not only earnestly urged the restoration of peace and fraterna- brotherhood, but was one of the few men in the South who appreciated the fact that the negro wa* not only a freeman, imt a citizen, and wa* enti tled to be treated and reaper ted as such. at iiiAvauumt ko IMI My ftiat acquaintance with llamp- itnOboOrr. l*tj, wtM-fiN'aart iM erMUated raid or-und Me- army. thaw la Maryland | i «• Arty at l!*m*bwrg, a* 0 " »ppr y to panic. • a raaoMAL ixnMkrT.
