Wade Hamp,on's letter to Governor Hayes, and tho

s.I have doubt that Judge M ackey has told tho
truth mainly He is man OF decided talents but is
sometimes imprudent aud overzealous The
despatch In to.nights Star from Hampton,
saying that mo Is authorized to
make declarations for for tho democratic party
in South Carolina, is a rebuke to what suppose
some extreme statements by Mackey in the HERALp's
correspondence. AS for Hampton's character, cam

in South Carolina questions his character; 1t is high
and almost fautess be accepted such by nearly
all tho people. That was one reason why he was
elected; but the whole why he elected to

Thc fact replied Senator Robertson, 5,mply this
the people OF South Carolina cared good deal more,
still more, for tho regulation Of their State

could get honest democratic government in their

desired and voted for the Hampton State governments
