GOVEMINOR HAMPTON is still inl the

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
