= July 4th, 1876, was memorable day
in the history of the United States. 1t
was the one hundredth anniversary OF
American Independence, and was ce!e-
brated with magnificent pomp and dis,
play in ina~y portions of the Union, and
particularly in Philadelphia, where the
great Centennial Exhibition is in pro-
gress. It was also noted as the fiftieth
anniversary of the death of John Ad-
ans, of Massachusetts,, and Thomas JET
ferson, of Virginia, two ex-Presidents
of the United States and signers Of the
Declaration of Independence. They
were political opponents, and died on the
same day, just fifty years after they had
signed the Declaration of American In
dependence together,

Death Of Santa Anna.

Our dispatches announce the death OF
the, veteran General of Mexico, Antonio
Lopez de Santa Anna. He died in the
city of Mexico on the 2Sth ult. Thus
has closed career as chequered as that
of the hero of romance, and ended,
perhaps, the most eventful life on this
continent during the present century,
near the commencement of which his
military adventures began. His success
ses against the royalists gave him the
command of Vera Cruz in 1922, but he
was dismissed for insubordination and
revenged himself by aiding the overthrow
of the Emperor Iturbide. In 1928 he
oYerthrew the Pedraza administration
and became Minister of War and Com
mander of the Mexican army. He was
elected President in 1888. Three years
after he took the field in person to sup
press the insurrection in Texas. 49,
He was routed by Sam Houston at
San Jacinto and taken prisoner. In 1887
he lost his leg at the bombardment Of
Vera Cruz, by the French. He was
thereafter President until deposed by q
revolution in 1S45, when he took up his
residence in Cuba. In, the following
year he was again President, and at the
head of the Mexican army he attacked
the American troops under Taylor, and
was repulsed, and again at Cerro Gordo
by Scott. He was in most of the impor-
portant battles of the war to its close,
when he went to reside in Jamaica. He
returned to Mexico in 1853, and was
again appointed President. Deposed by
the Alvarez revolution, he removed to
Cuba, and afterwards spent two years in
Venezuela. He returned to Mexico du.
ring the late French invasion, but was
banished by Gen. Bazaine in 1864. Max.
imilian, however, appointed him Grand
Marshal, but in less than a year he was
implicated in a conspiracy against the
Emperor, and withdrew to st. Thomas
In 1867 he made his last attempt to gain
ascendancy in Mexico, but was taken
prisoner at Vera Cruz and condemned to
death. Juarez pardoned him on condi.
ton of his quitting Mexico, and he came
to the United States. But: since the
death of Juarez he had been living qui.
etly in seclusion in the City of Mexico
up to the time of his death. 1t is said
he contemplated journey overland tc

THE GUBERNATORIAL QUESTION.
Gen. Butler Declines and Nominates
Gen. Hampton for Governor.
EDeEF1ELD, S. c., July 4th.


Editors Journal of Commerce:
A correspondent of your paper was
kind enough a few days ago to suggest.
INV name as candidate for Governor OF
South Carolina, before the approaching
Democratic Convention. This partiality
of some friend may have no further sig
nifcance than g. personal kindness, and
NAV not be of sufficient Importance to
the public, to justify formal declination
ON NV part; but as I have an ulterior
purpose in this communication, to wit,
the suggestion of another name, you will
permit me to say, that whilst it is gratify-
ing to have ones name even remotely
mentioned as q candidate for so dignified
and exalted position, 1 cannot, under
any circumstances, consent to become a
candidate or accept q nomination for any
Office in the gift of the people. have
now the independence of thought, action
and conduct which attaches to a private
station, and l do not propose to surrender
it by aspiring to any political preferment,
and nv duty to the State does not require
me to do so, whilst there are many dis
tinguished men who are equally or better
qualified to serve her than myself, and
can better afford to make the necessary
sacrifices.
Experience has satisfied me that we
have but one course to pursue, so far as
the general State ticket is concerned, to
deserve and achieve success, and that is,
to nominate for Governor one OF our
most prominent, patriotic and popular
countrymen, reinforced by our strongest
and best men on the general ticket: That
man. in my Judgment, is General Wade
Hampton, and the ticket suggested by
your correspondent, in connection with
NV name, would be good enough for me.
I have not conferred with General
Hampton, and cannot say how far the
condition of his private affairs may con-
flict with the sacrifices necessary to De
made for a successful campaign, but !
ann quite sure that if he should be assured
by his friends that his candidacy is essen,
tial to the welfare of the State, he will
now, as he has in the past, place himself
in the line of duty. Commentator Of
him at my hands is scarcely to be expec-
ted. and certainly is not necessary, furth-
er than to say. that he can more COM
pletely than any other man reconcile
whatever discordant elements there may
be in the Democratic party of South
Carolina, and this is sufficient reason
why he should be nominated.
Yours very respectfully,
NJ. G. BUTLER.
