The details of a complete revolution

presented in the Geographic columns

The situation in South Carolina is
still grave and exciting. Gov. Cham
berlain has bean inauyurated by the
Republican House. Under the la AS
1t stood it was made the duty of n OF
the Supreme Judges to administer the
oath of Office 20 the Governor in the
presence of the Legislature. The Su-
preme Court does not believe that
Chamberlain was honestly elected, and
for this reason no member of that
tribunal could be found who would
swear him in. This obstacle was over
come by the hasty passage OF a special
law by the Republican Senate and
House empowering any officer com.
potent to administer am oath to offici-
ate at the inauguration. Chamberlain,
after taking the oath, delivered q brief
inaugural address, which We fear is
not calculated to help matters in that
distracted region. He was especially
severe on Wade Hampton, who in
turn comes back at Chamberlain in a
bitter, denunciatory card. 1t looks at
this distance as though this squabble
between these rival aspirants might
yet result ira serious outbreak on the
part of their respective followers.
Governor Grover, of Oregon, ex-
plains, in a telegram to the New York

which guided him in making up his
decision. On the law OF the case lie
makes a very good and tenable show
ing, but back of all OF it stands the un-
disputed fact that Watts was the choice
of the people and was by them fairly
and regularly elected. We would not
care Il see Mr.. Tilden succeed on a
technicality like this, and were it moi
for the disgraceful in which
he was cheated out Of some Of the
