On Thursday last Governor Hampton took possession of the executive office in the State House. Col. Paruiclcc with a larf e squad of convicts from the penitentiary were busy sweeping, scrubbing, and white-washing the building which is represented as being extremely filthy. Several ot the Republican officials called on the Governor and congratulated niiu on his victory. Senator Patterson is quoted as saving that he sha'I vote for the admi sion of Senator Butler from South Carolina, and also for the admission of Democratic Senators from Louisiana, basing such a departure froia his Republicanism upon the ground that he believes that a State ought to be represented according to the wishes of the people as represented in their State Government. Then why don't Patterson resign his scat in the Senate"' The grand inaugural ball, which was long since determined upon, as soon as Governor Hampton should be acknowleded to be the chief magistrate of the State, will coiuc off at an early day. The managers of the affair aie engaged conferring with ladies and gentlemen in different sections of the State, with a view of making it a grand success. The hall of the lower House of Ilcprcscntatives was the place at first selected for the ball, but the early assembling of the Legislature will preclude the possibility of its being held there. ?^0 One of the results of the settlement of the Go\t)rnorship is a better feeling among our rice planters on the Sav* annah and Coiubaheo rivers who have been anxiously awaiting the decision which was so quietly reached by the retirement of Mr. Chamberiain. A large amount of money will be paid out now to laborers in the rice fields that would have been unavailable had the Guberua torial quest iou been unsettled until too late for planting. This money will now be putin circulation setting the wheels ol industry in motion aud giving employment to colored laborers, mauy of whom were brought pretty near to the ragged edge of starvation for want of cmplovment. The rice planting industry will doubtless be benefited more than any other by the change. The Combahee and Ashepoo riots of last summer caused serious loss to the rice planters and no little suffering among the. negroes, who abandoned the fields. Chamberlain leaves the State in a deplorable condition, but, going to work with new hope and courage, the people may put a differei t aspect upon affairs before many months have passed. Governor Hampton has issued a proclamation calling the Legislature together to meet next Tuesday. It is not supposed that the Mackey House as a house will endeavor to effect an organization but those whose names are fortunate enough to be on the roll of Speaker Wallace will assemble in the hall aud admit those from the late Mackey House who arc entitled to scats. A resolution was passed at the late session declaring the seats of those vacant who adhered 10 Mackey and if the resolution is not re considered Beaufort county will be repre scntcd only by Hamilton and Myers. It will be a proud day for these two men when they see the other members from this county come up to the bar of the Wallace House and ask for admission. The phosphate royalty that wa paid for the votes, in the shape of salary, to the members of the Mickey House must be accounted for and the scrip to the amount of $400 each which was is* 1-- ? ? sucu oy JiacKcy us u uamuu- \jl j'?v u* be cancelled. ? ? There is a good prospect after all that the Louisiana Commission will bring about a compromise in that State very soon. A dispatch to the New York Tribune says that the controversy is practically settled, and but two or three days are required to arrange the detail? of the com promise, which is a Legisla turc organized upon the prima facie right to seats, disregarding the action of AY ells, Anderson & Company. This theoretically leaves the gubernatorial question open, but practically inaugurates Nich oils. The dispatch says that tlieNicholls Legislature on Monday passed a resolution giving effect to the programme of settlement, and will also pass resolutions covering the following points viz ; Confidence in aud in support of President Hayes, and a gua-antee to accept the loth, 14th, and 15th amendments to the Constitution the protection of ti c colored people in all their rights and privileges of person and property, equal td leationul adv autages, amnesty for past political offences, so that peace and order may prevail, and a union of all in restoring the material prosperity of the State. The colored militia of Chariest* n, comprising nine companies, aggregating ab)ut one thousand men, held a meeting last week aud passed resolutions rendering their allegiance to Governor Hampton, an 1 aski igfor his recognition of their o gau'zition. It is probable that Governor Hampton will form two regiments from the citizen soldiery of Ch irk ton, one of I I wiil l?e mnl up ot tlie Wiii'o ritu j 11 clubs unu the other of the colored coin- j 1 panics. The same policy is likely to ! < ! prevail in the organization of the militia ! 0 : throughout the State. i 0 Governor Hampton on Saturday last j addressed a letter to the present Kcpub-! p ; lican occupants of tlie State offices at ? the capitol. inviting them to vacate the J t i offices and permit the lVmocratie State i u : officers to enter upon the discharge; (| of their duties. The request was aecoui- : 1 ! pani 1 with the assurance that as soon ; a ' as the Supremo Court should sit. which r * ! 1 . would be shortly after the assembling of J t 4 the Legislature, when that body would ' c . elect a chief Justice, their* da ms to the ; f { offices would he submitted to that tribu- 1 nal, a id if found valid, they would be f be reinstated. On Monday the present incumbents of the State offices sent replies to Governor !" : Hampton's demand in which they say: * "We are in no sense claimants for the s , various offices which we fill. Wc are 5 ! # ^ ; lawful possessors, and arc in court, not to * ! seek to have our titles granted, but to ; j maintain them against those who, as j J j plaintiffs, are asking that we should be 1 ! ousted. In this phase of the case, and 1 it is the only one which can be properly ( presented to the Governor, it would be ( a legal absurdity for us to voluntarily 1 shift positions with our contestants, and would result logically in a complete aba donuient of our rights. Wc therefore ' respectfully decline to comply with the 1 request indicated by the Governor." Upon the receipt of this refusal the Governor caused another communication ' ""l" od.P-Pvvid to the recalcitrant officials i , VV WV M'-v.. in which he disclaims any intent to piejudge the claim which is pending in the ! courts hut feels that the welfare of the ( State demands the adoption of a course j as thus expressed: "Your refusal to ajlopt the suggestion renders it obligatory on him to adopt the necessary means of protecting the State ^ property and records pendiug the controversy. In his judgment this can best | be done, with due regard to the personal j rights insisted upon, by sealing up the j rooms now occupied by you, and instructing the keeper'of the State House to allow access on the part of no one to t them till the legal issues arc decided. He sees no objections to your locking the ^ rooms before the seals are applied, and retaining the keys. s Instructions to this effect will be given to the keeper of the State House." t ? Sheriff Bowcn, before leaviue Washington city, declared that if Chamberlain was overthrown by Hampton he (Bowcn) would never lift his voice or hand to assist the Republicans again. He claimed that lie can control six thousand votes in Charleston county, and that a word from ^ him wiil give the Democratic party that j many votes. He abused Hayes in round ;| terms, and says he only regrets now that f he did not prevent liini from getting the | electoral vote of South Carolina, which < he could easily have done. j ( The News and Courier has trustworthy r information that Rev.

The 1 j Press and Banner oflast week says: Every ( [ thing is being put iu readiucss for thi 1 \ awful "eveut an l the sentence of the 1 ! court will be completely carried out. ' 1 The coffins have been nearly finished and 1 are made out of white pine lumber. The 1 timbers for the gallows are being sawed 1 I out and the work of putting the scaffold * 1 together will probably be begun this A week. Ten suits of clothing are now in ' the hands of*the tailor, and ten ropes a e :l being stretched for the unfortunate men 1 in jail. The Sheriff has taken all ncces- c j sary precautions to prevent the rescue or * escape of the criminals, who sp>cnd the j greater part of their time in devotional ^ j exercises, and are constantly sending up petitions for mercy and pardon. The jail at Convers, Georgia, was bur- t nod on tho 9th, inst., and three colored 1 prisoners were burned to death. The 1 v door to the jail was-on the second floor, t the first stoiy being a solid dungeon I : which opened from the top by a trap i t ; door. Before the fire was discovered it ! i I had burned away the steps and cut off I all communication with the poisoners. I There was no engine in the town, and c i fho fir<> had its own war. The heat was a ; ;> intense that it was iuipossib'e to ap l : nroacli the building. At length an axe t \?as forced through an aperture to the c i prisoners, and they commenced to cut e ! through the heavy logs that made the c dungeon walls. The flames, however, swept downward rapidly, an I soon burned t through the upper floor and sent a show- t ! er of embers and Jural blaze on the j'j ! wretched men below. In this horrid il- ; d 1 lamination they could 1 c plainly seen by li the crowd outside. Crazed with pain c j and fear, they capered about like mad s j men, dashing themselves against the , t ! walls and screaming in the mo.*t fearful a manner. Their attempts to cut through the walls, while furious, had no intelli gent direction. They hacked about i 1 wildly, frequently fighting like brutes for ( the i?OcSCc>icu of the axe. At leugth j t, >1 !.<?.

The two Misses Ferrington, of Shissau, and Mr. I'oppendick, of New fork, are the only three passengers missng.

Another life-boat containing thirteen of the ;rew were rescued and arrived in Savanlah. ? ?<x>? Hen. G. W Custis Lee, has instituted m faction of. ejectment for the rccoveiy )f the Arlington estate, which was demised to him by his grandfather, W. i Parke Cast is. Tiie property was occu- i pied by Gen. Lee at the beginning of'the Tar, but was soon afterwards vacated by lis family, who went South. In 1804 he land, consisting of about 1,100 acres, vas sold for taxes and was bid in by the rovernment for twenty-six thousand eight lundred dollars and was set apart for a lational cemetery. Many thousand solliers have been buried there, after being cuiovcd from all parts of the South. Jeneral Lee asserts that the act of Conrrcss under which the sale was made is lnconstitutional and void, and he thereore seeks to recover the property. The South Carolina Land and Improvement Company was incorporated at heflast session of the Legislature for the purpose, as its charter provides, of improving and developing the waste lands if this State, and with authority to conduct wharves, build railroads and steamboats, and in various other ways ,o inaugurate measures looking to the rrowth and development of the natural id vantages of the State. The capital ol the company was fixed it a million ot dollars. It includes imong its directing spirits Col. Win. lohnson, of Charlotte ; ?J. P. South prn, Col. S. A. Pcarcc, Gen. Anderson, Jol. 1'aimer, and J. M. Mackay, of Columbia. The corporation has already ic<iuircd titles by purchase from the iwners of vast tracts of land in and about \>rt Royal harbor, among which arc ppriug Island, Oik Forest, Trembledon Plantation, Camp Forest, &e., on the Colleton River and Chechessc Creek, lear the site of the future metropolis of he South.

It will re idily bo son that tho most 'aluable portion of this property consists of the water fronts adjacent thereto, riie title to these water fronts as purchasers of the uplands has never been ]Ucstioned heretofore. But it appeals hat Peter Papin. a well knowii charaecr in and about Beaufort, and a noto ious land speculator, has for a lonir imc had an eye upon these va'ual le irivileges. By dint of constant and pro bund examination of the Statutes of the state he at length imagined lie saw a vay to grasp the immense fortune in? rolved in these immense water fronts, fie found an old statue which provides hat any person may make a cbiirn to varant lands owned by the State by iustituing certain proceedings. Accordingly, ictiug upon the theory that all lands beo\v high water mark were owned by the tate, he procured a warrant to survey a larrow strip extending between high and ow water mark the entire length of this troperty of the company mentioned, and vas in the net of [ crfecting his pretended i le thereto when his proceedings were nrestedbyan injunction issued by the supreme Court at the instance of the :ompany, who had ascertained the name of his operations. The learned Peter Papin, who has icen acquiring considerable local fame >y his lengthy and descriptive essays in he Port I!oyal paper respecting that ulebrated harbor, overlooked, in his csearches into the law governing vacant ands, the provision that all survey* rhicli should not extend four chains lick for every chain of frontage should ?c void. His survey could not go back he distance required without encroaehng on the company's unquestioned pro" >erty. There were various other 'legal irinciples involved, sueh as the rights of iwners of uplands to the use of the land rid water in front of their domain for tiers, ferries, &o. He sought the assisance of the best counsel in Columbia to if'.,? / /> Til* vii?w nf tho ease, and the ase lias at length been heard and deci- j ted. The opinion of the Court, by AVillard, L J., holds that the survey is void, and hat Pa pi n is a mere trespasser who ac- ! [uire! no rights under the statute, and lirects a perpetual injunction forbidding 1 lini from proec ding to enforce his laini.
