It is surprising to see the num ber of Hampton men around now, In fact the Chamberlain fellows re played out-clean gone up the spout. The mistake they ha ve made is that they didn't come out last fall, when they could have done more service than can be expected of them now. We are anxious to' see whether "Brick" Nash, "Soapgreaso" Whitto more, Swails, and other contuma cious Senators will reogniAe Lieu tenant-Governor Simpso n and the Wallace Houso.

A good many people went to the enter tainment (?) of .P rofessor Oomez on WVednesday night, and were well gmilled for their pains. , Like most of the showmen of his stamp, he proved1 to be a hnmbug of the highest type. The tricks he performed were-all old~ and many of them~ perfectly trapsparent. his ventriioquismn was of .a ,vry low order, and lhis power of imitation very small.

WIen the news reaehed. tgwn that Hampton would pass by on Friday on his way Columbia, pre parations irere made to give him a proper greeting. The ladigs were as usual, foremost in the good work, and at once went to work ,with a will. An upright frame forming an arch was erected on Washington street, near the railroad track and facing eastward. A ppiig of pal motto capped the apex, while a por trait of Gov. Hampton, surmounted by an eagle . and garlanded with wreaths and drpped with national flags, hung pendent. The pillars of the arch were wreathed with over greens, and festoons hung grace fully-across, from end to end, being looped up at intervals, while flags were displayed ad lib e~cm, Across the franaework was the insel-ition, "WELCOME I CAROLINA'S CHOICE." Be neath the centre of the arch was placed a stand to be used by the speakers. The whole arrangement reflected great credit upon the ladies of the town and 14essts. Sol. Wolfe, T. R. Robertson and J. Q, Doag who prepared it. Mr. S. K. McDonald, the railroad and express agent,had his office also hans )mely decorated with a por trait of Hampton, and with flags, while the Morning Star Salopn, Mr. A. P. Miller's store, and the stores of MIessrs. Lauderdale and Boag were ornamented with bunting. An ir nense crowd was gathered at the depot waiting for the arrival of the party, and as the train rolled up, the Citizens' Cornet Band struck a live ly tune, and the air at once rang with cheers for Carolina's governor. It had been s ino time since the magical words, "Hurrah for Hamp ton !" were heard in Winnsboro, and the words carried all back to the days of that grand campaign which won for South Carolina, and for Home Itule a triumph than which none in history is worthier to be commemorated, or more fruitful of blessings to a suffering and striving people. After many months of labor, suspense, trials and embarrassments, Hampton is Governor!i This thought seemed to pervade the minds of all who welcomed him on Friday, and it found expression in loud huszas, h~eamfing countenances and genera] ent husiasin. Governor Hampton swaih. .introsi duced by Major Woodward, who said: "Governor Hampton, I have been delegated by the people, white and black, to welcome you back again to your native State, to the county of Fairfield and to .this town. ~Since the seventh day of November we have recognized you as governor of South Carolina, agd no one else, and please God we never will recognize any other," Amid deafening cheers, Governor Eimpton rose, and bowing generally -to the gidience, anid spe 3ially to the ladles who lined the platform and the Thespian Hall windows and were waving their handklerehiefs vehe nificent tecej~tion, tenderedl him. As Governor vi South Carolina he reiterated the pledges made last Autumn. He wonkd be goyernor of the whuoleogeople, kpowingbo clad, no parf.W niae He had upheld the banner thue far, but it remains for the people themselves to carr) to a gloriousi complpetion thme labors just begun...T og e for peace.

(I4aughter and cheers.),; Throe cheers were npxt proposed, and given for ox-Senator Thomas J. Robertson, the chairman of the committee of citizens of Columbia who received Hampton. Senator Robertson who was on the train did not respond formally, owing to ill health, but conversed privately with a number of citizens. After the speaking, Governor Hampton held quite a levee in the car and from the window, and was introduced to a number of ladies, all of whom were anxious to shako hands with the governor, and the fortuaato ones were quite exultant Over those of their fair friends who wore less favored. A large number of colored people were present, and many expressed great gVatification at the governor's speech. The colored Democrats were jubilant. Willis Goode and Simon Muchatt shook Hampton's hand, while Henry Toole, Nathan Blake, Ben Walker, P. Jenkins, John McMillan, George Holly, Jim Shel ton, Louis Payis, Elijah Dawkins and Maroh Thompson were. conspicuous in their. entbsiasn.. A: number of other colored Demo. crats were present but ,eecaped our observation. A gentleman aboard the train said the colored people had: turned out en masse all along the route. When the train moved off a large number of citizens of he town; went with it to Columbia. Thus awapieiously opens the third act in the drami, the arst of which extended from the flfteenth of August to the seventh of November, and the secondl, from that day to the present time. The political sky is now clear, and a bright day is dawning for the State.
