Hayes Sceks a Conference with
Governor Hampton..
President Hayes has addressed a
duplicate letter to Governor lanip
ton and to Chamberlain, requesting
each oi them to confer with him in
Washington upon the condition oJ
affairs here. Chamberlain, it is maid
is anxious to accept the invitation,
whether as a more piece of toalyisnm
or as a fitting excuse for fleeing the
State, is not known. Tih Ex-Cover
nor naturally turns toWashington,as
the sunflower turns to its God. le
has turned thither often before. He
knows what it is to draw inspira
tion from the fountain head of Radi
calism and to (3teor his political craft
by the north star. The national
capital is just now a more congenial
place for creatures of his ilk than
Columbia. So that an aceep
ance of Hayes' invitation by him is
very probable.
3ut whether Governor Hampton
will dleeml it adlvisabhle to visit Wash
ington at this juncture is inivolved in
uncertainty. Strong reaisons ex it
both for, and against, this course,
and the matter nmust rest will thie
Governor himismlf, who has
mn'nfested sinigulair saigac ity and
wisdom in all the trying' crises of
the past six months. If tihe lettar
fronm Hayes la anl assumpi11tionl, on his
part to act as supremue arbiter in ow
State affairs, his initerference shouild
be epmined with dis~dain. Long
ago it was asserted thant the Cover
nor of Massnehmusetts was a gre:aci

to a stranger for approval o'r rejee

b.allt-h. ox is irrevocale.
If, h)owever, [as has beeni asseried
President Ilayes mierev ly desres ;
friendly 'oinfvjienCe to tiscertali
whether, if Fedo-at interfereneo
ended, Governor Hlampton has thi
will aind tho power to protect Re
publicans, then, as a mere act 0
courtesy, GAove nor' Hmnpton nm'
dleemi it consistent with the dignit'
of his office to confer with thm
President, to give him persons

lie visit Washington, he will ox
pressly iotify President Hiaye
that~as Governor of South Carolina

Carolina. H:id the speaker of the
House failed to declare the vote, lie

the com-(* been-so vrnal-mTodi-SSEi6

would still have been Governor.
Their decisions are valuablo as being
a recognition of his office by . the
judicial arm of government. Had
the people refused to pay 1his, tax, he
would still have been governor.
Their prompt responsO was iupor
tant as an evidence that they inten
ded to ,support him in his position.
The vote in Novomber n'de' hiin

of roeognition by the Iegislatur'd

Giovernor de ,facto. lie now 'com
bines both titles, without being com
polled to hav, recourse to any ex
t.ranoisi or adventitiouis sources for
further c on tirmation. His claim is
aibsolutely per feet, without stain or
flaw.
As the Staito however, is a coin
ponent part of the Union, it would
be well, in order to maintain friend-.
ly intercourse with the rest of the
nation, to receivo recognition by the'
States, either through their local
governmenits, or through the ad
ministration at W'ashngton.. A
recognition from Presideit Hayosiis
simply a matter of convenienceo;not
of, necessity. Hampton would still
be Governor, de jure and de facto,
in any event, and should the people
st and firmly together, all the at
tempted interference at Washing
ton would be powerless to foist the
pietender, Chanmberlain, into the
Executive ciair. . Truatworthy
reports frcin Washington however
all agree the question there is not
whether Hampton is governor, but
whether lie will protect Republicans
from murder and maltreatment. To
settle this, Governor Hampton is
invited to Washington. lie must
decide whether to accept the invita
tion.
