A typographical error in one of our last oditorialt inado us Hay the "(amnfation of alionn," when it should havo boon the "(dnnitfi1tion of aliens." Not that the first ex prossion is not appropriate, but wo prefer to use a morn pious phrase. Anna Dickinson essayed a few 1 nights since, in Now York, to not t the principal role in her now play of l "The Crown of Thorns," and now, y through the instrunentulity of the f dramatic critics, she is reposing on I anything but a bed of roses. Thei play and the acting are pronounced a to have boon both far below medi ocrity. The Loxiiana Commission, as was expected, is doing nothing but accumulating a mass of conflicting testimony. The sooner it adjourns afap die tho bettor for the country. It is noodloss to dally' any longer "t with Packard. Ho cannot govern Louisiana. Why Mr. Hayes does not at once withdraw from him the support of the military is incompro. a insible. Some wisoacro in Washington thought he had (liscovered ia mare's most. ie assorted that Chamborlain had adoptod a new course, which was to claim that no one was elected gov ,rnor in Novembor, and that ho hold over. As Chamberlain had urged this plea over since the ponitentiary pardon case it could scarcely be called a now departure. On the 9th of April, 1805, with the surrender of General Leo at Appomattox, constitutional govern mont perished in South Carolina, and a military despotism was inau gurated in its stead. On the 10th of April, 1877, with the removal of the troops from the State Capitol, military despotism ceased and con stitutional liberty again reared its head. The first was the conso quoneo of an appeal to arms, the j mieconi the result of a strict adho- t xonoo to pence. What the sword t could not accomplish, the pon has achieved. '"Peace has her victories ,a mnoro renowvned than War." r One of the Ii rzt acts of' thme Login -i lature, wvhen it assembles, should be -the ratificationi of the-amcndment to the tionstitution adopted by the poolo last November, providing that each county retain all the chool-money collected in it under the two mill tax, instead of ro eiv1mg, as atprosent, only portion in I thme ratio of its scholastic population< .to that of the entire State. Fair fiold .przys amually about $8,000 school tax, while, under thle una.. mnded clause, it 'receives back only about $2,500. The ratification of the amendment would be worth just $5,500 to The schools of' this vounty, and would secure a success.. 1 1ful operation of the school lawv tbroughout its limits.t Reports caame from the North that the carpet-baggers weore again pluck .jtg up courage, and~ speaking do,~ diantly in reference to Sonth Caroli.. ,nma fifftha. .'Chamiberlain, they said, would 'Montihtp his protonsionms, restingsippn the prontise made by Qovernor 'Hampton~ to resort to no violono.We wereotiot'at all disturbed by such stun. The Raidicals are ,pigerJy dead. and they know t fk Their threats, if ahy wore itiado, ,were Q~no consqpgie, y~f Hamp- 1 ton's govergpiqI 4Atained 44lw ptrengthi it now enjoys, despite 4ha' stiraitous effortse of the -earpet.. baggers and tho hostility vt the Fedoral Administration, "the noew impjetus itlhas r.ceiv'od 1y tlme ro mnovail of tlho trqgo, givo it wveight still further to overrido all opposis tionm. As for the Radical son'aors ima members of the House, if they continue stubborn, Lieutenant Governor Simpson and Speaker WVallace will issuo nowv writs of eleo,. $.ion to'fll narinies.nn an tcSate vill have a Logislaturo unanimously )ormooratic. This is a consumma ion most devoutly to bo wished. .t is to be feared, however, that no uch luck will befall the State. The tadical logielators filly appreciate hie situation, and they will only too iagorly hasten to recognize Governs )r Hampton and the Constitutional louse, in ordor to escape political locapitation. Chamberlain's Capitulation. Wo publish in another part of his paper Chamnborlain's ad(lres 'to the Rtopublicans of South Caro ina," in which ho announcos his in.. ontion to submit to the inovita i1o and censo to lay claim to the overnorsiip. The address speaks or itsolf. As a specimon of false ood, bitterness, fanaticism and hate tin abnost incomparablo. But thoro m nothing loft for Chamberlain xcept to assume the part i a martyr and send forth a wail if despair.. He , hs all along mad no chance of success, and doubt oss felt all along tjio desperate con lition of his cause. Ho has at last >owod himself out, and the honest ooplo of South Carolina are happy o.bo rid of him. There is now nQ obstacle in tho valy of the complete establishment, n all its departments, of the State rovernmont selected by the people sI the polla last November. A corn nunication has been addressed to Jhanborlaini by Elliott, Tolbert, )unn, Kennedy, Cardozo and layne, in which they express their l)proval of his action ; and it is lorofore fair to presume that they vill make no groat effort to resist ho claims of their rospective oppo ionts. Altogether, the struggle of the >oople for self-government may be onsidrod at an end. We have ought the fight and won the victory. A Spicy Correspondence. The following correspondence assed between Chamberlain and lovernor Hampton on Tuesday, the 0th inst. : STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, .IXEC UTIVE CHAMDER, COLUMBIA, S. C., April 10, 1877.

Wade Hampton," and o sign himself "Governor of South iarolina ;" and it is quite as cheeky a it is amusing.
