(Pthe people win Radical Rale Pastes ia South Carolina Thirty- Four Years Afo. GOOD STEALING ENDS Last Monday Was the Anniversary ot Hampton's Triumph and Chamber Iain's Downfall?United States Troops Removed From the State House o.n April 10, 1877. Monday was the anniversary of the emancipation of the State of South Carolina from the rule of negroes and carpet-baggers. Thirty-four years ago Monday D. H. Chamberlain, the radical governor, formally relinquished the control of the executive office to Wade Hampton. The United States troops were removed from the State house after five months' occupancy, and white rule was supreme. Reconstruction days, the premiere days of good stealing, were at an end. The following from Tho Stota will he with interest! Wade Hampton was elected governor of South Carolina on November 7, 187 6. D. H. Chamberlain, the radical candidate, refused to give up the office. A detachment of the United States soldiers were placed in the State house to protect him Hampton and the other Democratic State officers installed themselves in the old Carolina hall, destroyed o> fire two years ago; and refused to recognize the Chamberlain regime. In March, 1877, Hampton and Chamberlain both went to Washington to lay their respective claims to the office of governor of South Caro Una before President Hayes and hitcabinet. Hampton's claims were recognized. On April 2, 1877, President Ha^es instructed the secretary of war to order the troops, quartered in the State house under Gen. Rugers, to remove to their camp. "It ends the struggle," said Chamberlain, "and makes Hampton practically governor." After the order was issued, Gov. ' Hampton wired to W. D. Simpson in Columbia: "Everything is satisfac- 1 torily and honorably settled. I expect our people to preserve absolute peace and quiet. My word is pledged for them. I rely on them." His 1 reliance was not misplaced. The men who had put him in office in Novem- ! ber did not make even a demonstratinn Hampton left Washington on April 5, 1877, for Columbia. He was met in Charlotte by a delegation of some 60 citizens. On April 7, Hampton, "the liberator," reached his capital. A magnificent celebration was arranged to welcome him to Columbia. 1 Two batteries of artillery fired salutes every minute after his train rolled into the old depot at the end of Blanding street. The street, "half way to High street," was massed with people and vehicles. A procession was formed at the depot, Gov. Hampton and the State officials leading in carriages and followed by numerous military companies, the old Columbia volunteer fire companies and other organizations. The procession went up Blanding Btret and down Main to Carolina hall, where Qov. Hampton delivered an address. The next two days were unevent ful, but on April 10 Gov. Hampton wrote as follows to Chamberlain: "State of South Carolina, Executive Chamber. "Columbia, S. C., April 10, 1877. "Sir: Having learned that you now propose to turn over to me the executive chamber with the record and papers belonging to the executive office, now in your possession, I beg to inform you that I will send a proper officer to receive the same at any hour you may indicate as most convenient to yourself. "I am very respectfull "Your obedient servant, "Wade Hampton, "Governor.** To which Chamberlain replied: "State of South Carolina, Executive Chamber. "Columbia, S. C., April 10, 1877. "Sir: Reply to your note of this date, I have to say that my private secretary will meet such officer as you may designate at 1 2 meridian tomorrow at the executive chamber, for the purpose indicated in your note. "Very respectfully, "D. H. Chamberlain, "Governor."' The order of President Hayes, removing the United States soldiers from the State house, went into effect on April 10, 1 877, 3 4 years ago yesterday. Twenty men, under the /V?

The detachment was ordered to remove to its camp at noon. "All was done so suddenly," writes the lamented Carlyle McKinley of the evacuation of the State house, "that the clock could be lieara dinning after the doors were closed. The bell strikes slowly at beet, ana it required little suggestion to evolve the comparison of a funeral knell. Twelve strokes sounded, and 12 long, weary, wretched years of carpet-bag misrule were tolled off one by one, and confiE? >. <: mi , 9 . GOOD MAN GONE t CLEVELAND MOURNS DEATH OF TOM Ij. JOHNSON. lie Was One Millionaire Who Devoted His Wealth and Talents t the Public. Cleveland. Ohio, mourns the death I of her noblest citizen, one who was loved by all. He was a millionaire, but a devoted friend of the common people. Tom L. Johnson was a noble man. His body laid in state at the city hall in Cleveland and was visited by thousands of people who knew and loved him. Scores of telegrams expressing - ? i-ll x _ i. i U ^ condolence ana paying inuute iu ue worth of Mr. Johnson were sent from prominent men in all parts of country including Gov. Judson Harmon, W.m. J. Bryan, Senator Burton, Senator Atlee Pomerene, Mayor Wm. L. Gaynor of New York, 'Mayor Brand Whitlock of Toledo, and nearly every congressman from Ohio. Gov. Harmon said: "A more honest man that Johnson never lived. Mr. Bryan: "No man in the past generation did more affective work for the people than Tom L. Johnson." Mayor Gaynor: "The country at large has lost one of its greatest? a great man who fought for government." During his last illness Mr. Johnson was requested to write his autograph in the birthday book of Miss Louise Graham, a friend of the family. Commenting on the paragraph selected, Mr. Johnson's secretary remarked on its appropriate sentiment. Mr. Johnson said he "hoped he would be so" and signed his name to the following quotation: "His face was a thanksgiving for his past life and a love letter to all mankind." When Arthur Fuller, the chauffeur for Mr. Johnson, visited the patient Sunday afternoon, he .remarked that his employer was still smiling. "Yes, Arthur, I'm dying, but I still have my smile, and I am going to die smilling" replied the former ( mayor. """""" i 3igned to the tomb of the past iorBver, never to know a resurrection." , Before surrendering the office he j bad held by force since November, 1876, Chamberlain made a bitter adires to the radical State officials in which he accused Hayes and his cabinet of deserting the very men who were responsible for his election to the presidency of the United biaies. , At 11 o'clock, on April 11, 1 877, Chamberlain left the State house, never to return. According to their agreement. Gov. Hampton sent his private secretary, the late Maj. Wade Hampton Manning, to meet C. J. Babbitt, Chamberlain's private secretai/, at the executive office at noon on April 11, 1911, when the great seal of South Carolina and the keys of the office were turned over to Maj. Manning. Hampton was thus formally installed in office. The Columbia Phoenix, published by the late Julian P. Shelby, issued a one-page extra on April 10, 1877, to chronicle the evacuation of the State house by the United States troops. The leading editorial in tne oxna, entitled "Out at Last," is given in full below: Promptly, while the bell was striking 12, the troops marched out the east door of the State house and wended their way toward the barracks in the eastern part of the ciy*. Gov. Hampton had stationed persons at the various entrances to the State house square to request people not to pass in, consequently w?n;ci,i uuj one was to be seen inside, and but few were standing around outside to witness the departure. No hurrahing or any demonstration of any kind was made, and all passed off as quietly as possible for a movement to lie made. About five months ago the troops took possession of the State house at the dead hour of nignt 10. the purpose of assisting in the perpetration of that outrageous fraud which has fastened an illegal president upon the country and also to uphold an illegal government in this State. They have done their work well, though Mr. Hayes, after finding himself seated in the presidential chair, sees he can not longer stem the tide of public opinion which is setting with such overwhelming force against the frauds and crimes whicu have been perpetrated under protection of the military, and therefore orders the troops removed from ths State house, thus knocking the onlj prop from under the Chamberlain government on which it could rely, and lets It tumble to the ground. Gov. Chamberlain, after a most determined struggle, thus found himself swinging In the air, with nothing to support his unjust cause, and made a virtue of necessity by dictating, after issuing the false and malignant document which we publish in anoth er column. Thus ends this memorable contest, and now that right and Just has prevailed, and Gov. Ilompton is the acknowledged legal executive of the State, we trust quiet and prosperity will again be restored ? ?

LAID OUT WORK: ? ? 1 fa Democratc Comers Arranges the Tariff Program They Want. FARMERS TO BE HELPED Canadian Reciprocity and Farmers' Free List, Comprising Articles ' Most Needed, Followed by Woolen and Cotton Schedules is Order in Which Legislation Will be Started. News from Washington indicates that the Democrats are tending strictly to business in a business way, and will do what they can to help better the condition of the farmers as well as the consumers. They will try to get bagging and ties on the free list. (Reciprocity with Canada and a farmer's free list, it was decided at the Democratic caucus held Washington on Tuesday night, will be the legislation taken up, in the order named, by the present House. The woolen and cotton schedules, according to present indications, will follow. In the caucus there was no opposition to Canadian reciprocity, and no change or amendment to the bill as presented by Chairman Underwood, of the House ways and means committee, were offered by any of those present. On the free list will be included those things which the farmer most needs, namely, agricultural implements, dressed meat and meat products, flour, rough lumber, shoes and saddles, wire fencing, baling wire, cotton bagging, cotton ties, bagging ties, burlap and salt. On many of these products the ? -xi ? 11.. u iu: present tarnr is pracucany pruiuuitive, and there are few importations of them on that account. It is impossible, for this reason, to estimate what the difference will all amount to by putting them on the free list. In the debate which followed Chairman Underwood's presentation of the general plan, a spirited discussion developed among the members. Mr. Sherley, of Kentucky, desired to have the Canadian reciprocity bill and the free list combined. Me was generously supported. The introduction of the bill, probably Thursday, as caucus measures, will not stand in the way of the immediate introduction of three important measures?popular election of Senators, publicity of election contributions and Statehood for Arizona. These are not to be treated as caucus measures, but will come in as party bills and will be taken up for action as soon as they can he reported from their respective committees. Another caucus is to be held to debate the revision of the wool and cotton schedules, to be taken up in the House following the passage of the reciprocity and free list bills. The caucus voted a straight endorsement of the Underwood reciprocity bill, 128 ayes, 29 noes and six voting present. The caucus added a provision to the Underwood reciprocity bill, call ing on the President to continue negotiations with Canada with a view to establishing further reciprocal trade relations. Mr. Fitzgerald, of New York, fought this provision, hut he was voted down. ? ? * THE GENTLE CYNIC. It is almost as difficult to hush up some children as some scandals.
