Of tho nature of tho blunder and its doplorablo oonaequonoos no ono is bottor ? Vjftod to spoak thau Dauiol HL Ohawcrlain, of this Stato, fermer .Governor of South Carolina, who most fittingly heads a list of Atlantio Month ly oontributors on reoonstruotion in tho South. His artio'o in tho April num bor of that magazino is woll worth at tention. .Tho purposo aa woll as tho effects cf Jue reoonStruotion moaeures doviscd by Thaddeus Stevens and Oliver P. Mor ton woro to uni to tho blaoka, wholly regardless of thoir utter ignoranco and inoxperionoo and unfitness, and soouro to them, and tho party thoy woro allic d with, thatBupremaoy in Southern gov ernment which thoir numbers alcno en titled thom to. Thus.tho natural rulors of .that section were not mcroly ignored, but wero sharply antagonizod and em bittered to tho la?t degroo. Tho in evitable oonscquonoes to tho negro him self woro tho worst possiblo and aro conspicuously felt to thin day. Governor Chamberlain was not by any means a sympa'hot io agent of tho Cong-essional ^teimata in their mormuren of tho lime. Ho had enlisted from Masnaohusotts and was in oorx matd of colored troops during tho lat ter part of tho reboil ic n, Bottling in South Carolina after tho war. Ho had poiooivcd the folly of tho plans of tho Congr??Bional leaders in reconstruction . at tho outsot, and in his visits to Wash ington in or about tho year 1867 ho had many int cr vio wu on tho subjoot with men like Morion. Of tho obduraoy and intolcianoo of Thaddeus Stevens in for oin g raoftBUtos seen to bo moat un wis o '?' by Mr. Chamberlain, tho latter gives us BOmo idea when ho now o av? that "mero personal Bolf-rcBpcot limited tho writer's ihteroourao with him 'o ena . opnv?reatiop^" Wtan.latejk^^^ \:i ^^alroti'tt/-I:' y fl'i"' --tWted Govor /'Vnor^^'ihOibla.BctStoho did what ho ^obu'ld'to oruali tho over-presumptuous " ncaa of tho negro party and bring tho whjUcsinto that participation in tho Gov ?2 ? eminent of. tho Stato whioh thoir educa tion, ability and experionoo onlitlod thom to. His refusals to oommisaiou two Jud geo nominated or diotatod by a .Ttopublioan oauoua ia a caso in pcict which is historical in South Carolina. I- That Governor Chamberlain failed to gain the oonfidenoo and support of tho ... whites, who turned to Wado Hampton in 1870, is very far from telling against ,... the ability, impartiality and honesty of bia administration. Under tho oiraum . stances it was hardly to bo oxpootcd, '.and tho settlement of tho disputed re sults of tho Stato clootion of 1876 by Mr. Chamberlain's withdrawal of Lid ol ninia and tho passing of the Stato into : Vth?. hands of tho whitoa waa tho wiso&t E" Oflaiblo and and ronc?lo orodit upon im. ; It is interosting to note that ho , v .haS, in this article, only apprcoiativo 'words for his old nut agonist, (Jen. Wado Hampton, whom ho characterizes aa tho ono trna loader South Carolina had had after Calhoun. Tho stronghth of his ^leadership, Mr. Chamberlain Bays, lay * hot in his intellectual or oratorical superiority, "but in high and foicoful .. '''eh?raotor, perfect courago and jeal do v?lion to what he conooivod to bo tho welfare of South Carolina." Ot tho gen oral ohareotor of tho re construction measures Governor Cham beriain sayo: "It is now plain to all that recon struction under the Acts of 1867 waa, . at any rato, a . frightful oxporimont, , - whfoh novcr could havo given a real < statesman' who loamed or know tho faots tho Bm ni lost hopo of suooots. i Government, solf-govornmont, tho oaro . of common publto interests by tho peo ple themsolvoa, is not BO easy or simplo a tti.sk as not to requiro a modicum of experionoo as well as a modioum of mental and moral oh arno ter. In tho mass of 78,000 odored voters in South ? Carolina in 1867 what olemonts or foroos oould havo existed that m ado for good government? * * * Added to thia obvious discouragement and impossi bility in South Carolina was tho faot that those 78,000 colored voters wero distinctly and of design pitted against 46,000 whites, who held all tho proper ty, eduoation and publio ezporionoo of . tho State. It is not lons than shooting to think of Buoh odda, suoh incvitablo diaaslor. Yet it was deliberately planned and oagorly wolcomed at Wash ington, and-OJ! m'y ac copied by tho par ty through thooountry." And again in oonoluding his review -a moat valuablo hiatorioal obaptor of South Carolina's ton-years' expori ?'. enoo under reconstruction, ho says: V'Tho chapter of roeont ovonts ov ? eibd by this papor ismado up largoly . ox th?: fOQord ,of miatakos and orimos followed by tho euro, unvarying retri butions whioh all history toadies aro : tljp carly or lato result of evil ocnraoa . in nations and States as woll as in in dividus bi.

Tho condemnation ia unqilificd and oomes from ono probably moro oompo tont to spode impartially on tho aub joot than auy man now living'.. Tho Itopubllosn loadorehip whioh dr?v? through tho moasuros of1867 was not hoking in high ability for State orafL. Its fault was thnt it had booomo tho moro or IOFS uacorn oious victim of blind party fooling which sought to niako porpolual in tho nation a party position of unparalleled strength.
