the conflict. Our position then from the
first has been on;the defensive, and must
necessarily continue, to be so, else we
will split upon5the very rock sclf.preser.
Yatioh would prompt US to avoid. Some
people havesurged US to an aggressive
Course, butiin, this they only see the diff
cultfes which immediately surround us,
and d'refuse or reunable to comprehend
the greater difficulties which in Wash
ington stare US in the face. Never before
have the people of the State so fully ap-
-preciated the noble qualities and poiiti-
cal sagacity of our noble Hampton. We
feel no hesitati ion in saying that we would
be willing to assume the responsibility Of
any mistake committed by Hampton.
Though this delay policy may worry
and distress the people of the State, who
are anxious to be e'relieved from the sus-
pence which has for 80 l6ng time dis
tressed them, yet we would urge patience
for little time longer. BY precipita:e
action we may lose all; by patience alone
we can gain all. Patience SO far, has
borne glorious fruits-frst, the securing
quorum, which Grant can't even refuse
to recognize; and, second, the recognition
of our House as the constitutional House,
and the consequent Judgment that the
Rump House is unconstitutional. This
of itself will nullify every act which may
be passed to which the Rump was party,
and fixes, beyond question, the fact that
by their House no taxes can be collected.
If the worse then should come, ne have
only to refuse to pay taxes, and the
Courts stand ready to protect us.

THAT DECISION.

Judge Bond has decided that the State
Supreme Court has no jurisdiction over
the Board of State Canvasscrs, and has
released those dignataries from the Off
GERS of the law, despite the commitmen,
by the Supreme Court fer contempt
The decision is simply remarkable
How Judge of the United States Cir
cult Court can review the acts of State
Supreme Court, in matters relating to
the State, VIC cannot understand upon
any principle except that of brute force.
We suppose an appeal has been taken
from Bonds decision, and the Supreme
Court of the United States will be asked
upon his acts. In the meantime, Con-
gress ought, we repeat. to impeach this
meddler, and thereby suspend him from
Office, at least until the election compli-
cations are settled. Prominent men o!
the Nation think Judge Bond is in con-
tempt of the Supreme Court, and ought
to be dealt with by it. The question
would no doubt be made but for the fac;
that United States bayonets are here to
uphold the usurpers. 1t may be a sub
ject for future action. We hope Congress
will, however, save our State Courts the
trouble of looking after Judge Bond by
impeaching him.

UNITED STATES sENAToRsH1P.

The Legislature on Tuesday voted for
a United States Senator to succeed Sen
ator Robertson on the 4th of next March.
The Senate recognized the Mackey
House, and as provided by law the two
Houses voted separately. In the bogus
House there were two ballots, on the
second of which d. T. Corbin had the
majority. In the Senate there were five
ballots, on the fifth Of which ID. t. Cor
bin had II and NJ. w. Gary T. unr:..
was then declared elected by the ;wo
Houses.
The members in the legal House voted,
but there was no election. Gen. NJ. c.
Butler, S. MCGOWAN, Gov. B. F. Perry,
Gen. Conner, Col. Haskell and Maj.
Barker received votes. They will con-
.inue to ballot without choice until the
Senate recognizes them.
There is no question that Mr.. Corbin's
election is void, so far as its legality is
concerned, but as the United States SEN
ate is Republican. it is not impossible for
him to get the seat which fraud, tyranny
and usurpation have conspired to give
him the shadow Of pretense to claim.
We do not see how such a partisan decis-
ion can be reached, however, even by q
Republican Senate.

THE PRETENDED INAUGURATION

The action of Governor Chamberlain
in pretending to be inaugurated as Gov
ernor leaves the State without an execu-
tive. He was counted in by an illegal
body, and took the oath of Office before a
man whose term of Office as Probate
Judge had expired. His pretended in
augural is indeed a remarkable produc-
tion, as our readers will perceive. He
pirates about duty impelling him to- take
the Office, while every body knows that
he has violated every duty in taking it
which is sacred to the better part fman.
The card of General Hampton de-
nounces a part of the so-called inaugural
rs false, and no response has been made
thereto. The close of his address speaks
of monstrous outrage, under whose
black shadow they were assembled, which
it was his solemn duty to resist. The
only outrages under whose shadow they
were assembled, that we can learn of was,
first, the invasion of the rights of State
by military bayonets, and second, the
usurpation of the rights of the House of
Representatives by his dusky followers.
He has neglected his duty in not resisting
these outrages. His Inauguration was a
farce, and he may, himself be indicted
for treason in the opinion of many very
able lawyers.

North Carolina has politician of
whom she is profoundly ashamed. The
people of the "Old North State hoped
that when Vance sat down on Judge Set
tie with the heavy weight of over $4,000
popular majority, it would "Ss'tIe" him
forever from public view, but his course
in Columbia has convinced them that he
bears the wrong name, for instead of Set
tie he ought to be called Rover. He is
excusable, however, for birds of a feather
love to flock together, and North Carroll
ma governed by Vance is not the class of
government that suits men like Settle and
the balance of the Republicans. Where
1.-The, Chamberlain & Co., haul up at
when Hampton is duly installed in this
State?

Senator Robertson declined being a
candidate for reelection to the United
States Senate from South Carolina before
the usurping legislative body in Colum-
bia on last Tuesday, and concluded his
letter declining to run by saying, 're-
garding this body intending to pro-
ceed to elect United States Senator on
Tuesday as constitutionally defective,
for want of the cooperation of the consti-
tutional House of Representatives, am
constrained to withhold my name as a
candidate before it," This shows how
the Senator, who is Conservative Re-
publican, looks upon matters in South
Carolina. His position will give addi,
tional testimony to the justice of the
Democratic claim, that the House of
Representatives presided over by Col.
Wallace, and recognized by the Supreme
Court, is the legal body.

The Constitutional House passed res
olution on Monday to authorize its
Speaker to draw warrants for 500 Of the
salary of each member. Col. Wallace
did so, and delivered the warrants to the
members. They were presented to the
Banks of Columbia and cashed. This
show the confidence which our business
men have in the success of the Democrats
in this State. The Mackey House cannot
even get credit for gas to light the hall
with, and no sensible person would think
of honoring certificate for salary from
Z. w. NJ. Mackcy as Speaker. This
SHOWS bow tic two Housts stand.

ANOTHER ELECTION,

Another election for members Of the
Legislature has been resolved upon by
the Mackey House, to be ordered in eve
rv County where the representatives have
not been sworn in under Mackey, or
where they have left his House. The
Constitutional House is considering the
subject of ordering an election for the
seats of all those members who have not
been sworn into its organization. The
action of the Mackey House is illegal
and we hope the Constitutional House
will take no steps towards another elec.
tion until it's rights have been secured by
recognition from the Senate or the in
auguration Of the Governor elect. We
will have more to say on this subject, il
the election is ordered.

The Presidents message to Congress
is genereliy termed an empty document.
1t is bitter towards the South, and vio-
lent in abuse of Northern Democrats.
It has nothing about the Presidential
trouble, and speaks of leaving office and
apologies for his mistakes. The only
i'm portant recommendations are the limi-
tation of the right of suffrage and the
annexation of St. Domingo as refuge
for the poor negro, &c. 1t is weak
paper, and calls forth no special atten-

placed there. The committee performed

duplicity heretofore:

GENTLEMEN OF THE COMMITTEE II

should be refused admission by those hav-

sons should apply to the officer in COM
