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.

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. Elliott, Attorney

Sir. 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.
