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? T lA..t TJn,.nAA nf
t'UIIIUiaUU UL liivut, 1 lil.V lien v.?l VjWIIIpany
B. Second regiment, were on
duty there guarding the radical governor
and State officials. 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?

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

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.
