ThCus warned, he wvill hesitate to take u-pon hiiself the responsibility of inciting serious in testine disor ders. The tempoi zing policy of Hayes and: his Cabinet should teach tii People of Sougr Carolina one thing -that their salvation rests with tiemdelves.' 'Unaided and alone, they wiested thO State from cor, ruptioii and b >laism,' and they must be prepared to retain, by every .means, the liberty thus gained. Standing shoulder to shoulder, and iftfdrly repuliatuig- any offer of eumpruisii:,o with Chamberlain or his crew, they will in the end extort that measure of justice to which they are entitled. Oovirnor Hampton's Pledge to faye s. WA TNOTON, March 18.-Unless r. Cha iberlain withdraws volun~ tarily in South Carolina, Governor I-:anmptoin will, whenever the ar ran4etnents of the Federal' authori tie's are coipleted, proceed against hin im the courts of the State and under a statute, which, curiously enough, was enactediby the Republi cans in 1868, to eiiible them to put out' some Democratic i incumbent. This statute provides for the sun.s ipmry eviotion of any perdon intrud ug nni self into a public office by a warya t issued by a Circuit Judge. The party evicted under such alwar rant is authorized by the statute to assert his claim or pretensions in the court if he wishes, but he must give way first and at once on the issue and pretension. of the warrant to the officer elected. By the following letter addressed to the President two days ago it will be seen that Governor Hampton has given a guarantee that if the troops are withdrawn no violence will occur or be allowed, but that he will pro coed against Chamberlain by legal means only: WAmsIINOTON, March 16, 1877. His Eecellency R?. I3. Hayes, P'residcut of the United States. Sin : A publication in the Nation a l Republican of this date, to tile effect that your Excellency has been assured that, if the troops5 are with drawn'i from the State House at Columbia, Governor Hampton will m Ike no effort to disporso s D. H O.immberlatin, by civil proceas or otherwise, rendern it proper that I should inform your Excellency that Governor Hamptonrecogizes no tas quo as to this issue which he isi under obligations to respet, ex cept in so f. r as it is his bounden duty to minltain the public peace, and assert his authority only by legal methods. He is not appealing to your Excellency to determine that 1h0 is the Governor of South Carolina, but as the Governor of the State he asks that tile Federal troops shall be withdrawni from the State House, to the end that the process of the courts may be effectually in voked to determine thme usurped possession of the records of the Executive Department, now with. held from him in defiance of the conStitution and laws of the State. Whenever the civil authority is no longer hold in subordination to tihe military, Governor Hampton w~illI proeced by due process of lawv to terminate that wrongful p)ossession now and heretofore upheld by the armed forces of the United States. In reference to tihe proposoed scheme fo? A new eletion ill South Carol in a, Governor H~ampllton au thotrizes rme to say that, holding is title to tihe oflice of Governor by -vii tue of his election b~y t to people, .and tihe same1 having be n aflirmndd by the highest judicial tribunal in the State, he would deem it a breach of his official trust and an -act of personal dishonor to give any sabetion whatever to. such a seheme. k beg leave to add that an authori ty' stamped with 4vety judicial sanic tion, and which, in addition to its doe fure 'characeor, exhibits all thme attributes thlat cain:define tihe de facto government in a.State, could scarco. 1y be expcted .to subject tihe citi% 20ens of South Carolina to the eer-. tain'ills :which enht' attend' the exe'cution- of a sichenie which at beat ei buTkproduee awhybrid governor by. a nuiscogeytjion .between teh0 niitary.Agthor'tik *of .*e- United States and the civil antho~ie of the State, utterly repugnant to the American system of local self-gov ernment. I have the honor to be, sir, very respectfully, your Excellency's obe dient servant, T J. MACKEY. P. S.-I have the honor to ivite the a ge.tiop f. your Excellency to the6' eld telegram from Govoin -or-hnMpto)1 to GeIn. M. C. Butle'; received since the above was written, in which Governor Hampton states that there shall be no violence if the troopasare.roinoved, and that he will use only legal remedies. Respectfully, T.

M. C. BUTLER. PRINTINo AND JOURNALISM IN CnTNA. -A Chinese printing office is a greater curiosity than one would think. The alphabet numbers away into the thousands, and a cap and a lower-case goes all the way round the inside of a two-story building, and half way up to the roof. It takes an -apprentice twenty years to learn the case, and then he has to usea step-ladder to get at the higher branches. A case was pied one in Canton, and it took five days to remove the type from the form of foxemnan. They punctuate wherever they can drop a dot, without regard to .the prospective. When the editor coins a word the printer whittles out a new character with his. j:iclS knife. The journeymen set by the square foot, and .Bever belong to a union. Theydo their press work by hand, and use boxing gioves to ink the type. They have one paper in the empire a thousand years bid, and the bound volumes half filU a pagoda. It is rumored that Bonnett 'has started to edit that venerable paper. The editors' head is responsible for all items published in the paper, andis taken off whenever an article of news is published. Not an editor has been beheaded in China for the last five hundred years. The Chinese have just invented a twenty -five cylinder presB for printing tea chests, with which they are able to print one a week. Next to victory the Radicals want time ; time to survey the field, st let the strategic points, organize their forces, and prepare for a'des perate fight. They have not the slightest intention of yielding. They have committed themselves too thoroughly for that. Delay is their only salvation. It means desti-uc tion for Hayeug. It is said that, should the newv arrangement go into effect, "Nichodlli will surely be re cognized by nextL fall." If Nicholls be not rc>gmized by next fall, he probably never will be. The ad ministrgltion is playing with fire, and tuless very .:reful will be badly burned. If Hayes really intends to fullill his pledges in regard to the South-we believe he does -he must say to Blaine and Morton, "Get thee behind me, Satan," and then go straight at his wvork and finish it. The longer he p~ostpones it the harder- that wvork will be, and it is already hard enough to tax his back bone to t1.e utmost.--St. Louis Re... p ublican. MoRE ABOUT Mas. HAYEs.-"Mi-s. Hayes never wears decollege dresses, and several of the ladies invited to to the State dinner on Saturday, being told in advance of her p~refer ences, in compliment to. her, wQrg high waists. Mrs. Grant, however, not knowing this, had her arms and shoulders uncovered. Her toilet was white silk, briocaded in bouquets of colored flowers. Mrs. Hayes wore camel-tinted silk, garnished with lace and fringe. Her hair was plainly combed over her .aer and gathered in a knot at the back with a comub. She wore no ornaments."
