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-- ? ?

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

I The Governor has respited the ten ^
| Abbeville prisoners, who were to have y
been hung to-morrow, in order to give '
| him ti^e to examine the evidence. 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,

lie whole upper floor gave way, and the !
lirec wretched men, clutching the outer 1
3gs, stretched their hand- to the crowd
utside and were lost in a blinding sheet
f flame.

The steamship Leo, which sailed from !
avannaii for Nassau on the I lit h inst,
ras burned on Friday, when 80 miles j
;outh ofTvbcc, and thirty miles from the I
hore. The two Misses Ferrington, of
Shissau, and Mr. I'oppendick, of New

Fifteen of the crew left the burnng

hat they were lost in the storm. Another
life-boat containing thirteen of the

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

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. The ease is of public interest as
wtling tip law in this State respecting

This unrivaled preparation has performed
some of the most astonishing
cures that are recorded in the annals of
history. Patients suffering for years from
the various diseases of the Lu/igs, after
trying different remedies, fpending thousands
of dollars in traveling and doctoring,
have, by the use of a few bottles,
entirely recovered their health.

Dear SirWhen in Aiken, laat winter, I used your
Expectorant for my cough, and realised more benefit
Prom it than anything I ever took. I am to weU that

This certifies that I have recommended the use of
Dr. Tutt'a Expeotorant for diseases of the lungs
for the past two years, and to my knowledge many
ootUoe have been used by my patients with the happiest
results. In two cases where it was thought ooaIrmed
consumption had taken place the Expeotorant
;fleeted a cure. ' , R. H. SPRAQUE, K.D.
