A COOP EXAMPLE FROM OcoNEE.---
The Walhalla Courier states that Dr.. l..
B. johnson, County Auditor, and j. W..
Holleman, ESQ.,, County Treasurer, have
rendered to Chamberlain their resigna.
tion of the Offices which they have held
for several years. These gentlemen, be-
lieying that Chamberlain was defeated in
the late election, and that his recent in.
auguration was sham and an act of
usurpation against the expressed will OF
the people at the ballot box, are unwil-
ling to give their aid in upholding gov
ernment resting upon fraud and the bay
onet. These parties are intelligent, con-
scientious Republicansp and in the dis
charge of their duties have, made unex'
ceptionable officers. Their present course
cannot fail IT, meet the approval of all
good citizens in Oconee County,. and has
set an example deserving of emulation
throughout the State wherever these im-
portant positions are held by upright and
honest men. We cannot too strongly
commend the initial step in movement
on the part of Republicans which ought
to eventuatc in stripping the Chamber.

authority. :;

VIEWS OF A NORTHERN. REPUBLl'
CAN.

The annexed extract from private
letter received by one of our citizens
shows the feelings of a Northern Repub-
lican as to the condition of affairs in
South Carolina, and we ARE glad to know
that,this expression of opinion is shared
by thousands in the North. aud North
west. who recognize the necessity for good
government in this State, and the abso-
lutte certainty. that Gov. Hampton can
and will restore peace and prosperity to
our distracted commonwealth. Th.
Governor is in daily receipt of similar
letters from Northern Republicans, who
send kindly greetings and warmest SYM:
pathies for the cause he has SO nobly upo
held in this crisis. The writer of this
extract is prominent citizen of Iowa:
~ am Republican, but am an ardent
admirer of Gen. Wade Hampton, and
have publicly expressed my desire that
he might be inaugurated. His course in
the late canvass is beyond all praise, and
is SO regarded even by the mass of Re-
publicans of Iowa. We think him one
of the few Southern men who recognize
the duties of the white citizens Of the
South at the present hour. ] sincerely
trust Gen. Hampton will yet be made
Governor OF South Carolina by the peace
full process of the courts. Violence will
not do; it could only postpone that
happy time, not now distant, when the
white race will be the undisputed masters
of the situation in the South. I have
written several of the Republican plat
forms for this State, and have had more
or less to do with all of them for'the last
sixteen years, and / know something of
Republican feeling. We have watched
the situation in your State with great
solicitude."

GRANTS LATEST BULLETIN.

The following dispatch was sent from
Washington to the New York Tribune on
Monday last, giving the latest expression
from Gen. Grant as to his intentions re-
garding the Presidential contest. y The
reference to ali unlawful combination in
Indiana relates to an absurd rumor that
rife clubs were organizing a conspiracy
to overthrow the government in case
Tilden was not inaugurated:
New YORK, Dec. 18.
A Washington dispatch to the Tribune
SAYS: The President, in conversation with
friend this afternoon, said that thus far
he had received no official information Of
any unlawful movement in Indiana or
elsewhere. He has seen occasional refer
ence in newspapers to political agitations
in certain sections of the country, and
has received information to that effect
from other unofficial sources. The ad-
ministration, he said. is not insensible t"
the necessity of vigilance. Whether
these reports are true or false with refer
ence to the Indiana excitement, the Pres
ident thinks that, should it spread, the
loyal sentiment of the majority of the
people of that State and of the whole of
the country will have influence enough
to prevent any outbreak.
The President said, further, that it is
gratifying to observe the conservative
spirit shown by many of the Southern
LEADERS, He feels assured that the same
disposition will ultimately prevail all
over the land, and he believes that the
men who are now disposed to incite civil
war are only those who have everything
to gain and nothing to lose in the event
of sucl, national calamity. If the
emergency does arise, the President said,
he should not hesitate to execute his con-
stitutional authority. Whoever is form
ally declared by the President of the
Senate to have been elected will be recog-
nized BY General Grant. To that person
will he surrender the reins of authority.
1t is not his desire to force upon the peo-
pie any particular person; but ne will
see that the person declared to be elected
as his successor is placed in possession of
the government. He is not lie judge of
the election. When the question is de-
termined, his duty will be plain.
General Grant said that before and
since the election he had used his execu-
tive power only for the enforcement of
the laws and the preservation of peace,
and such an exercise of the. powers con.
ferred upon him he will continue until
the last moment of his responsibility.
He does not think that government
which has withstood the shock of nearly
four years of battle will now fail before
the clamor of q mob. The power of the
President to call out the militia of the
States in the event Of attempt to resist
the inauguration of the President legally
declared to be elected is one which Gen.
Grant will not hesitate to use, should any
occasion arise. He said that it was his
recollection that during the riots in New
York in 1868 a portion of the National
Guard of the Empire State was called
out by direct authority of the President,
and co-operated with the regular United
States troops in the suppression of the
disturbance.

THE SENATORSHIP.

The following letter explains itself,
and shows that its author, who has done
excellent service for the people of our
State in the late campaign, was actuated
by the exalted motives which mark the
highest type of the statesman and the
patriot:
OFFICE Dem. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE,
COLUMBIA, S. G., December 13, 1876.
To Messrs. James L. Orr and r. W.
Simpson. Members Of the House Of Rep
resentatives Of South Carolina:
GENTLEMEN-You and some Others of
my friends have done me the honor to
consider my name in connection with the
position of United States Senator.
While I thank you for this evidence of
confidence and esteem, beg leave never
theless to ask you to publicly withdraw
my name, with the positive statement
that am not a candidate for the Office,
aud ask my friends not to vote for me.
Under ordinary circumstances, would
cheerfully obey should it be proper to
call me to an office of honor and trust.
But at present 1 am already in the public
service, and deem it Inconsistent with my
duty as member of the State Executive
Committee to be mingled with personal
interest in any election in which, az in
this, that committee has been, or may be-,
by the exigencies of our condition,
obliged to exercise All advisory part. |
say this much not from any apprehen-
sion that would be elected to the office,
but in justice to myself, that my position
might be distinctly understood.
With; feelings OF great esteem, and with
the, heartfelt prayer that the State may
soon be committed to the charge of our
chosen Governor and to the wise and just
legislation OF your body, l have the
honor to be, very respectfully and truly
yours,

- DR.. J. F. Ensor, the Superintendent
of the Lunatic Asylum, has given notice
to the Beard of Regents that lie will be
compelled to discharge all the patients in
that institution unless steps are speedily
taken for their further maintenance. He
states that $29, 1000 of last Years appropri.
alton, and $4,000 of the Appropriation of
1874 are now due, which he is unable to
collect. He has had but 81 900 from the
State since last spring, and has sustained
the institution on his own personal credit,
and upon supplies advanced by Northern
merchants and the Carolina National
Bank for several months. Without im-
mediate aid from the State or charitable

HAMPToN's INAUGURAL.-The. New
York Herald makes the following COM.
ment upon the inaugural address of Gov.
Hampton:
In this document he recites, with great
severity of indignant comment, the pro-
ceeuings at Columbia during the last
few weeks. But he only protests and
denounces he does not suggest any re-
sort to violence. So far from that he
praises the moderation of the conserva-
tive members of the Legislature for their
forbearance, discretion and peaceful de-
meanor under circumstances of great
provocation. 1t is the right Of an ag-
grieved party to arraign and expose: its
opponents, to remonstrate with warmth
against their injustice, to hold them up
to public reprobation, and to resort to all
legal and peaceful methods fortheredress
OF wrongs. Governor Hampton could!
not have been expected to "speak with
bated breath" on such an occasion, and
he will be the better able to restrain and
cuntrol the passions of his people and
keep them within the limits ofthe law BY,
letting them see how fully he shares their
indignation. There can be no doubt that
he has acquired such moral ascendancy
over the citizens OF South Carolina that
there would be no substantial opposition
to his government if the federal troops
were withdrawn. He is able to preserve
peace, maintain order and tranquilize the
State from the instant that the right of
local self-govcrnment is respected. No
intelligent observer can doubt that every
South Carolina interest would be promoted
under an administration so wise, just and
considerate Us: his certainly would be if
outside elements of disturbance were
taken away. .,
Governor Hampton renews with EN-.
phasis tue pledges he made to the colored
citizens of the State duringthe political
canvass. He aliudes with grateful appre-'
ciation to the large numbers of them who
voted the conservative ticket, but he de-
clares his purpose and pledges his honor
70 treat those who voted against him with.
enual Justice. There can be no reasona-'
bic doubt, either .of the sincerity OF his
promises or of his ability to fulfill them.
It is to be. deplored that the people
of fSuuth Carolina are not perln'tteo 10
have. a government which might be so
securely relied upon to give them osoer'
contentment and prosperity. ''."f

The members of the bogus Legislature

The members of the bogus Legislature
have received two hundred dollars each
of their salary, and every one is wonder
ing where it came from. Some CORES
pondents assert that the money was
loaned by friends of Ex-Goy. Chamber
lain, while others say Mr.. Corbin planked
down the requisite amount of greenbacks
to keep up the appearance of having a
Legislature to support his claim to seat
in the United States Senate. Whoever
paid the money stands very poor chance
to ever get it back from the State.

The SOUTH CAROLINA TROUBLES
The Chamberlain government in South
Carolina seems to be doing its best to
provoke an outbreak, but is not likely to
succeed. There is rumor that it is the
intention of Governor Chamberlain to
cause the arrest of General Hampton on
Il charge of treason, and our special re-
port indicates that in case the attempt
should be made by any force other than
that of United States troops it would be
resisted. The Mackey House has passed
a law declaring that any persons setting
up government or claiming to be gov.
ernment against the legally elected gov
ernment of the State shall be adjudged
guilty of treason, and imposing very
heavy penalties in fine and Imprisonment
All who aid or abet in the offence are
subjected to similar punishment. But
such a. law, or the arrest Of General
Hampton with or without such Il law,
would be futile. The question would
still remain, Which is the regular and
legally elected government? The State
courts alone can decide this, unless the
State is put under the military rule of
the United States. Suppose General
Hampton should I've arrested2 He would
be taken before the courts OH writ of
habeas corpus and released. There would
be no necessity for forcible resistance.
Suppose the Mackey House law shou d
be passed by the Senate and signed by
the Governor? The courts would pro-
nounce it waste paper and no law at all.
1t is true the Mackey House and Gov
ernor Chamberlain threaten to turn out
fhe judges of the Supreme Court and put
in creatures of their own, but this would
excite such general Indignation that it
could scarcely be carried out. The 4th
of March next would terminate the out
rage If Governor Hayes should then be
in the Presidential chair. The friends
of General Hampton have only to keep
the peace, under any and all clrcum-
stances, and to let the law take its course.
