GOVEMINOR HAMPTON is still inl the Inountains, his health beiig too feeble for him to take an activo part in the cign. SPLENDID METINos have bn hCld at Abbeville, Laurens and Chester. The red-shirts were out in full force, and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed. The good work goes bravely on! S. J. LEE, former Speakor of the House, was convicted last week of conspir'tcy to defraud the coumity of Aikon, and sentenced by JiLt' -c MackQy to imprisonmeit in the poni tentiary for two years. The Conspiracy was inl Coll ectiOil with the purchaso of a building for a court-house. The other parties charged will be tried at a special term of court in November. Music in Maine. Maine has had the biggest kind of a State election, and the Radical party has received a black oye. For twenty two years, in fact, Over since the birth of tho Republican party, Mainme has elocotd continuously hecr Stato ticket, the Legislature anud a solid Congressional (1e1ogati on. Next to Vermont, she was the "safest Stato" in the Union. And yet wvhenm the band begpan to play on elootioni day, the music ground out was very dillerenit from wvhat had h)on anticipated. Throo tickets wvere inl the field, the regular R opublican, the Democratic, and imh Green back. Bilain andl H-alo and the other Rap~ublican loaders adv oca ted th e hardest kind of money, and their opp)onents took the o1posite tack. The result is that (Connor, the Roic publican candidate, lacks abou11t nine hundred votes of having a nmajority, and tihe gubo~rnamtorial election will go into thme Legislature. The Sen ate haus a Republican majority of nine, and the HouIs( an opposOition majority of seven with nine dlistricts to hear from. It is thought time Democratic cand(idlato Garcolon will be chosen. But the most important fight was for Congress. T1he Ro-. publicans elect throe men, thme Democrats one, and the Greon baekers one, a Rop~ublican loss of two, in one of their strongholds. Eugene Hale, the Radical leaider of the House, and the chairma~n of the Republican Congrosnional Comnnuit.. tee, the- same fellow who punt out the blood and th undler p~rocla ma - tion about the Potter CJommittoo, and a now rebellion, has been left at home. H-alo was a vindictive little devil, and in Congress ho lost no oplportunity of insulting the Sou th. Him defent is poenhiarly gratifying. The New York Iherald says that the Republican dfeaot in Maine proves that the parmty is dead, and that it is has not the ghost of a chance for seduring the next House. Grant alone can save it. and in the opinion of the Ilerald, it is not very probable that he will consent to lead so forlorn a hope. The Jherald believes that only somo grave blunder. will prevent the Demoorhts frotn succedding in the presidentin.l elennion of 1880. A Daniel Come to Judgment. In tho effort mado by certain bondhohlors to throw tie South Carolina Railroad into the had1s of a receivor, Mr. D. H1. Chamberlain charged cortain oflicors of the road with fraud in their maiiagomont in diverting seetritics and profits, 'and of one he 3aid: "As a stockholder his personal interests are adverso to this suit, )it its ia director t h 1' boen chariiged4I with the iaiagemienit of the coipany.
