The news of the surrender of Cham- : bcrlain wns received in ftcaufnrt Wed"; nesilay morning ami but few wouM; believe it until they ha.l icad i his address when the ranks of ^he Hampton men were at once greatly ex : tended. It is astonishing how many have just remembered that they voted for Hampton. With this nunibcr of the Tribme weevn ; send forth our congratulations to the peo , p!e with certainty that the end of misrule ! has come and that a day has dawned lull 1 of bright prom be and of good omen to citizens of ever}- class and condition in the State. That ''the prostrate State," as South Carolina had been styled of late years, must have been regenerated sooner or < later, was evident to those who observed the course towards which northern sentiment has been tending since its attention was directed to the infamous legislation in Colombia from 180S to 1874, but few a>uld have hoped for the triumph over ignorance and its attendant corruption at such an early day as the seventh oflast November, ?et on that day, the event has proved that the vietoiv was won, and now after days of anxious and impatient waiting the fruits of that victory are to be reaped by the orderloving and law-abiding citizens of South Carolina. ?? Ilonest John is on the fence as usual first swearing by one side and theti by the other. The saddest of ali is that he says he wont resign. He will not desert Mr. Micawber. Agreeably to the order of the President the troops guarding the State House were . marched from the building at noon on Tuesday. The event passed off quietly, and, at Gov. Hampton's request; there weremo spectators to the downfall of the Republican Administration. The follow ing Address from Gov. Chamberlain is his last shot and but for its extreme bitterness would have had more effect: To the Republicans of South Carolina. By your choice I was made Governor of this State in 1874. At the election on the seventh of November last 1 was again by your votes elected to the same office. My title to the office, upon every legal and moral ground, is to-day clear and perfect. By the recent decision and action of the President of the United States, I find myself unable longer t? maintain my official rights, with the prospect of final success, and hereby announce to you, that I am unwilling to j prolong a struggle, which can only bring j further suffering upon those who engage in it. In announcing this conclusion, it is my duty to say for you, that the Republicans of South Carolina entered upon their re cenl political struggle for the maintenance of their political and civil rights. Constituting beyond question a large majority of the lawful voters of the State, you allied yourselves with the political party whose central aud inspiring princi pie has hitherto been the civil and political freedom of all men ifnder the eonstitutiyi and laws of our country. By heroic efforts and sacrifices which the just verdict of history will rescue from the cowardly scorn now cast unon them by political placemen and traders, you secured the electoral vote of South Carolina for Haves and Wheeler. In accom plishing tins result you became the victim? of every form of persecution and injury. From authentic evidence it is shown that not less than one hundred of i your number were murdered because ! they weie faithful to their principles and ' exercised rights solemnly guaranteed to them by the nation. You were denied employment, driven from your homes, roboed of the earnings of years of honest industry, hunted for your lives, as wild beasts ;your families outraged, and scjfttered for no offence except your j peaceful and firm determination to exer- f cise j'our political rights. You trusted { as you had a right to trust, that if by i such efforts you established the lawful ! supremacy of your political party in the nation, the Government of the United | States in the discharge of its constitu- j tional duty would protect the lawful Government of the State from over ! throw at the hauds of your political cue-; mies. From causes, patent to all men, and 1 questioned by none who regard truth. you have been unable to overcome the; unlawful combinations and obstacles which ; have opposed the practical supremacy of. the government which your votes have ! established. For many weary months | vou have waited for your deliverance, i While the long struggle fur the l'residen-; cy was in progress, yoi\ were exhorted ; by every representative and orgau of the | National Republican party to keep your j allegiance true to that party, in order I that your deliverance from tno hands of \ your oppressors might be certain and; complete. Not the faintest whisper of; the possibility of disappointment in these ; l?nnp? and hromises ever reached you MVTV" l , while the struggle was pending. To-day, April 10, 1S77, by the order of the President, whom your votes alone ^ rescued from overwhelming defeat, the Government of the United States abandons you deliberately, withdraws from you its support, with the full knowledge : that thejawful government of the State will be speedily overthrown. By a new interpretation of the Consti- j tution of the United States, at variance' alike with the previous practice of the Government and with the deei ions of the Supreme Court, the Executive of the United States evades the duty of; ascertaining which of two rival State i Governments is the lawful one, and by the withdrawal of troops now protecting the State from domestic violence, abandons the lawful State government* to a struggle with insurrectionary forces too powerful to be resisted. Tiie grounds of policy upon which such action is defen-' ded, are startling. It is said that the ! North is weary of the loner Sou'hern troubles. It was weary, too, of the i loni? troubles which sprung frutn the stupendous crime of chattel slavery, and longed for repose. It sought to cover theiu from siglit by wicked compromises with the wrong v\ hich disturbed its peace but God held it to its duty, until through a conflict, which rocked and agonized the nation, the great crime \ a put aw; y and freedom was ordained for all. It is said that if a majority of the people of a State are unable by physical force to maintain their rights, they must be left to political servitude. Is tliis a doctrine ever before hoard in oar history? If it shall prevail, its consequence will not long be confined to South Carolina or Louisiana. Itissaid that a Democratic House of llepreseutatives will refuse an anpro priation for the army oi'thc United States lfthe lawful government of South Caro'ina is maintainedby the military forces. Submission to such coercion maiks the degeneracy of political |a tv or people which endures it. A government worthy the name, a political party fit to wield power never before blanched at such a threat; but the edict has gone forth; no argue en's or considerations which your fi ien Is voaid present have sufficed to avert the dbaster. No effective means of resistance to the con munition of the wrong are left. The struggle can be prolonged. My strict legal lightsare of course wholly unaffected by the action of tlie President. No court ofthe State has jurisdiction to passupon'thc title to my office.. No law-1 ful Legislature can be convened except upon my call. If the use of these powers! promised ultimate success to our cause l i should not shrink from any sacrifices which might confront me. It i* a cause in which.by the light of reason and conscience, a man might well I lay down his life; but to my mind my ; present responsibility involves the consideration of the effect of my action upon those whose representative I am. I have hitherto b eij, willing to r.sk you Republicans of .South Carolina to ri>k all dangers and endure all hardships until; relief should come from the Government of the United States. That relief will , never come. I cannot ask you to follow i me further. In mv best judgment I can ; no longe r serve you by further re.-Utaneo t'j the impending cahunity. With gratitude to God for the measure of endurance with which he lias hitherto inspired me, with gratitude to you lor your boundless confidence in nio, with proibnd admiration for vonr match-ess fidelity to the cause in which we have struggled, I now announce to .vou and to the people of the State that I shall 110 longer actively as-crt my right to t lie office of Governor of South Carolina. The motives and purposes of the Prc>ident .of the United Slates in the policv which compels me to my present course, are unquestionably honorable and patriotic. I devoutly pray that events may vindicate 'lie wisdom of his action and that peace, justice, freedom and prosperity may hereafter be the portion of every citizen of South Carolina. (Signed) D. H. Chamberlain, Governor of South Carolina. J Columbia, S. C. April 10. IIU Excellency D. if. Chnmle.iain, Governor of South Carolina. Pear Sir : Kecurring to the views, severally expressed by us during the personal conference which we had the honor to hold with 'you yesterday, in regard to the political complications which have grown out of the late canvass in this State, we beg leave to apprise you formally of the conclusions we have reached after mature deliberation, and the eta vest reflection which we have been r.ble to fie.-tow upon the subject. Whilst we are 110 less inspired with admiration for the dignified and resolute manner in which you consistently tnaintianed your da ms to the gubernatorial chair-, by virtue of the election held in November last, than we are solemnly impressed with the validity of your title to t ic office, we are unanimous in the belief 1 hat to prolong the contest, in the absence of that moral aid to which we fee! ourselves and our.party justly entitled at the hrnd< of a National administration, i 1st ailed in large measure through the same agencies which are now held to be insufficient for our maintenance, will be to incur the responsibility of keeping alive partisan prejudices, which aie in the last degree detrimental to the best interests of the people of the State, and perhaps of precipitating a physical conflict that could have but one result to our defenceless constituency. We cannot afford to contribute bowever indirectly, to such a catastrophe. even in the advocacy of what we know to be our rights. We are agreed, therefore in c u iseh ng you to discontinue the J struggle for the occupancy of the gubernatorial chair, convinced as we are that in view of the disastrous odds to wh'ch its maintenance has been subjected, by the action of the national administration, your retirement will involve no surrender of principle, nor its motive be misapprehended by the great body of that political party, to which in common witli ourse'ves. you are attached, and whose -u -ccss in the pa-t in this State, has been ennobled by your intelligent and unselfish services We h ivc tl e honor to be, Very respectfully yours, IIobt 15.

Leplying to your note of this date, I have to say that my Private Secretary will meet such officer as you may designate, at 12 meridian to-morrow at tho Executive Chamber, for the purpose indicated in your note. (Signed) D. H. Chamberlain, Govern'r of South Carolina. Hon. Wade Hampton. The President is much gratified at the expressions of approval of his Southern policy as indicated in letters received from individuals and organizations of prominence and influence in all parts of the country. All he asks is that his policy shall not be judged in advance of a fair opportunity to test its practicabilitp in restoring the ?States of the South to their proper relations to the general government ?<> In the course of his speech in ColumI bia last Friday Governor Hampton said : I did not co to Washington to ask rcognition, 1 did not go there to offer, or to hear, terms of compromise, or to lay my (nv-'c before the tribunal. I told them : I he'd my title from the people of South i Carolina. I wanted no endorsement of 1 theirs, an 1 so long as they told me that , title was good, so long would I grasp t them by the hand. I went on from motives of personal courtesy to the President. I went on a Democrat, as I am, and I say to you, and^it is but justice to a political opponent for me to say so. that 1 Mr. Hayes, consultiug his own dignity and respect for the laws of the land, and ; I hope for the people of South Carolina a .d for myselt asked me to make no con; cession, no terms, and proposed no con, dition; and as long as he will lollow out, in good faith, the polj^v indicated in his I inaugural. if%c will do equal justice to all sections of this country, and see that j the laws are enforced in Massachusetts i as in South Carolina, Louisiana as in Ohio, if lie will carry out in good faith all the pledges he has made and be ' a constitutional President, and recognizing no party, race or section?so long j will I support him. | #wish you to forget, for the next four years, everything about politics. Forget that you are Democrats or Republicans; and remember only t! at you are South Carolinians. Go to building up the material interests of the State, invite immigration, show the people of the North that we have uo proscription in oar hearts; that we will welcome him dierc who comes as a citizen, no matter what his politics may be; that we arc I striving for the redemption of our State not for petty offices of government; and then you will see the era of peace, and a ! new prosperity will dawn upon South Carolina. Labor will be employed, 3*011 will see whites aud honest colored men improving, happy, prosperous and united, if you will only forget politics for awhi'e and devote yourselves to the great interests of the State. When in August last I was noraina ! ted you will remember that I pledged. | myself that I should be the Governor of j the whole people of Soilth Carolina; that I would know no race, no party, no man, in the administration of the law. I pledged myself, on the platform on which I stood, that every citizen of South Carolina, white or black would be equal before the law, and I solemnly ap- I pealed to Heaven and declared that, if elected, I would justly administer the lawvtmcl would know no difference be tween persons. I promised that when 1 was nominated, and I reiterated those pledges, time and again, throughout the length and breadth of this broad land of ours. I told the colored men I would | fulfil those promises to the letter; that if the party which had nominated uic should, at any time, go back upon them, if they attempted to take away any of the rights' uow enjoyed by the colored ; people, they must find some other inI strument to carry it out; for, before I would do it, I would resign. And I say so a train, now that victory has come, now that the whole State recognizes the government which has been elected, and now i that all the power has been placed in my ' hands; here where I took the oath cf'office, solemnly swearing that I would obey the Constitution ot the United States and of South Carolina, I say, once more that I intend, so help me God ! to carry out every pledge I made, and io be Governor of the whole people. Now my friends, how can we bring about this consummation so devoutly to be wished ? llow can we bring Happiness peace and prosperity to our people ? We can do it but in one way, and that is that you must observe the law. I enjoin it upon you. I do not issue a proclamation. I 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 doi^e more honor than any other man, the people whom I love better than anything in this life, I ask them to carry out my wishes. I want every man to constitute himself a conservator of the peace, to go around and tell your neighbors that, if there is bloodshed or violence, we shall lose what w?> have gained; to appeal to them in the name of South Carolina to carry out this policy of peace. The only difficulty that seemed to stand in the way at Washington was the fear that when the troops were taken out of the way at ihe State-House, there would be violence. They asked me about it, and I pledged my honog mark me, my friends ! I pledged my honor that not one single man would go into that StateHouse unless he has some business there ; that 1 would place two unarmed men there simply to inform the citizens that I requested them not to go there, and I felt assured there would be no violence nor excitement and that the laws wou Id be obeyed. I requested of the President that the troops should not be removed until I got here. When that order comes, let nobody go to the State-House. Just let it stand until I want it, and I will tell yon when I want it. I carried a letter to the President from ? * * i i* ill 1 J.1.? j a federal soldier wno naa Deen sianonea in tlie Stale House. He said the place was so filthy, and so full of vermin, that he wanted to pot away from there. I want the fire engines to play their streams through it for awhile, anl to have the ?iitentiary convicts scour and fumigate i it. and then we will have a nice Legislature and all will go on peacefully. I beg you white men to show the colored men that what I have said for twelve years is true; that you are the I best friends they have in this world. I | I appeal to the colored men to recognize the Government which is now firmly es tablishcd. to trust us for a while, and as | they arc still in the majority, if the gov! ernment I have established does not carry out the pledges I have made, then ' throw out all the men in office at the | next olectiou, and put iu auybody you i please. ftroccrirs and provisions.
