South Carolina. GoyernOr Chamberlain
Inaugurated.

On Thursday Governor Chamberlain took
the oath of office before a Probate Judge,
and delivered his inaugural. Therein he
speaks as man feeling himself under
great weight of responsibility, and borne
down with suffering for cause which he
cannot conscientiously abandon. 1t is a
manly speech, and will win him friends
" He said he accepted the office to which, by a
majority Of the people, he had the second time
been called, with the knowledge of its grave re-
sponsbties and difficulties. No consideration
but duty compelled him to accept lie regarded
the present hour in South Carolina as crisis of
which no patriotic citizen should shrink from any
public post to which he was called The present
struggle Is In defence of the foundations of our
government and institutions II we fail now, the
government of South Carolina will no longer rest
on the consent Of the governed expressed by
free vote Of the people. II our opponents triumph
under whatever guse of legal forms, free gov
eminent in the state is overthrown. His chief
care will be to contribute his utmost efforts to de-
fend the right, guard the peace and promote the
welfare of all the people OF the state, Other
pressing duties had prevented his preparing the
usual recommendations respecting public affairs
This will be made in time. The pressing duty
now is to stand firmly against our opponents The
position heretofore has been within the law.
Only cowardice or treachery can rob the Repub-
licans OF n victory. II the Republicans yield now
we shall witness the contamination of cruel con-
spiracy by the democrats to overcome by brute
force the political will of twenty thousand lawful
voters. lie had mourned over the previous pub
lie abuses. lie had labored for honesty But he
stood appalled, at the crimes against freedom
and good government recently witnessed here,
more so because the North is DIVIDED IN sympa-
thies and Judgment upon such questions. 1t is
written in blood that no nation safely rest in
the enforced slavery or degradation of a race
Yet the American people are to-day divided ON
the question Of the Acknowledgement and degrada
ton Of the same race it freed, and what is more
astonishing, the Republicans have permitted er-
rors attending the first efforts of this race in self
government to so chill their sympathies as to
stand and practically say the peace of political
seryitude is better than the abuses the newly ae-
qured freedom has brought He denounced the
conduct OF the democratic campaign as a brutal
outrage, depending upon fraud, prescription and
murder, Hampton had said that he held not only
the peace Of the state but his Chamberlain life
in his hand. This he did not doubt, Ills life
could be easily taken but nothing could make
him abate the hatred and opposition TO the en-
slavement Of the people Of South Carolina All
other considerations must yield to duty to resist
the final success of that outrage attempted by the
democrats -

CONFEDERATE RELlc.-Mr Stephens APP
pearance is so picturesque that he is boon
to the writer of letters. Mrs. Cemmer
writes thus to the Cincinnati Commercial, in
describing the opening of Congress "a
little way up the aisle sits queer-looking
bundle. An immense cloak, high hat,
and peering somewhere out of the middle a
thin. pale, and little face This brain and
eyes enrolled in countless thicknesses of
flannel and broadcloth wrappings, belongs
TO the Hon. Alexander II. Stephens, of
Georgia. How anything so small and sick
and sorrowful could get here all the wav
from Georgia is wonder II he were to
draw his last breath any instant you would
not be surprised. If he were laid out in his
coffin he need not look any different, only
then the fires would have gone out in those
burning eyes Set, as they are, in the wax
white face, they seem to burn and blaze.
Still, on the countenance is stamped that
pathos of long-continued suffering which
goes so to the heart. lie took the modified
oath in his chair, and, when he had taken it.,
his friends picked him up in it and carried
him off as if he were feather, When he
has not strength enough to hurt flea, he
takes a solemn oath never to bear aims
against the country that takes back, as if he
had never wounded her, this once recreant
but never ignoble SON."

The Disputed States.

the legally and rightfully constituted gov
eminent of the state. Judge Bond, of the
United States Circuit Court, has delivered

the supreme court Of the state had no iu-

CHARAcrERIsTIc.--That is striking
sample of ittleness that has just been exhib-
tied by Governor Hendricks, OF Indiana. A
vacancy has occurred in the Senate by the
death OF Mr.. Cree, a member of that body
for the district consisting of Madison and
Delaware counties. The district is Repub-
lican, and the Senate is very close. The
legislature does not meet until the 4th of
January so there is abundant time TO hold
a special election at date that would en-
able the new Senator TO take his seat at the
opening of the session. But Governor
Hendricks has deferred the election until
the 10th of January, thus securing to the
democrats the organization of the Senate,
and the little pickings that are involved.
Aud this man is the democratic candidate
for Vice-president.

Our Insane ASYLUM.

Mesrs. Editors We have frequently noticed

asylum within the past twenty -fve years. know
there have been several changes for the better,
since there has been so much stir about it, and
while the managers have been kept under the
LASH but we want asylum wholly controlled

NORTHERN TRMroR.--The Southern Re
publicans are condemned by the democratic
and reform organs as very corrupt and
INSCRIPTIONS lot, but when Mr.. Tilden
wished to buy one more electoral vote, in
order TO save those already purchased, he
could find no Republican elector in the
South base enough TO accept his offered
brides. In South Carolina ten thousand
dollars was spurned, and in Louisiana an
offer Of one hundred thousand dollars found
no taker. And so it was necessary for the
great reformer to invest his money in Oregon,
where he could find democratic state officials
dishonest enough TO try and steal the vote
of the state after it had been legally cast,

see that the dose is too strong for the New
York World, which evidently has no expecta-
ton that the miserable swindle can succeed

The Greeley Monument.


On Monday Of last week some five hun
dred Of the friends and admirers Of Horace
Greeley assembled around his grave to wit
ness the unwilling of his monumental bust,
erected there by the contributions of the
working journalists and printers Of the
country. II was the fourth anniversary Of
the day when the remains Of the great jour
nalist were committed to their last resting
place with the tears and silent benedictions
OF those who had known and loved him.
The scene presented on this anniversary is
said TO have been most impressive, showing
that in the hearts of his friends the memory
of the great man is and forever must be
green.

The exercises Of the occasion were simple

cradle Thurlow Weed was expected TO pre-
side but though present, he was too fee
ble TO perform the service assigned him, and
Mr.. Lewis Francis well-known printer Of
New York, took his place. Mr.. W. H..
Bodwell, in behalf Of the working and EN-
ploying printers and other gentlemen who
had contributed 10 the erection Of the mem
oral. presented it, in few well-chosen
words, " TO that public for whose welfare
Alr. Greeley labored so long and so success

address the bust, which had been draped
with the American flag, was unveiled 10y the
sculptor, Charles Calvery.
Mr., +. c. Stedman read a tribute in verse,
and Bayard Taylor made an address, closing

TwEED's PArERs,-The Tribune saws that
all the papers captured at vigo with William
NJ. Tweed, after having been examined by
United States District Attorney George
Bliss and Others authorized by the govern.
ment to examine them, have been forwarded
to Washington, where they will undergo ex-
animation by the Attorney General and pos
sibly 10y Secretary Fish also. These were
the papers which were detained on board
the Franklin, at the time of Tweed's arrival.
1t was subsequently stated by Tweed that
the contents of his baggage were simply
valueless linen, and no papers of any impor-
lance were TO be found. 1t is believed, how,
ever, that most of the more valuable papers
retained by Tweed for his defence are con.
tanned in these trunks, and are now in the
hands of the Washington authorities, for
what purpose is not known.

WELL TEsrED.-MIr. Redfed, Of the Gin
cinnati Commercial, whose letters from New
Orleans at the outset leaned strongly TO the
democratic side, now has this to say in vim
dication of the returning board: "These
men, who composed the returning board,
have been abused fully as much as they de
serve. They are Republicans from prin-
cipe. They endanger their lives by count
ing in the Republican ticket, but are with
out reward. On the other hand they could
get one hundred thousand dollars each to
count in Tiden. 1t is asserted that three
hundred thousand dollars of democratic
money, from New York, is now here, TO be
used, if possible, in buying up the board,
but so far without success. This money
may have been sent by New York betting
men. ! do not know as to that. But have
reasonably good authority for saying that it
has so far been without avail. | am in
formed that one of the members of the
board has been approached in a manner that
he could not misunderstood, but the APP
proach was useless. If the board was as
black as it has been painted it seems re-
markable that so large a sum should have
no influence upon it,"

An" lNDEpENDENT's PLAN.-The latest
solution of the Presidential middle comes
from Springfield, Mass. The Republican be-
| lieves that the Senate will not sustain Presi
dent Ferry if he decides to recognize as the
regular electoral vote of each state that
which is authenticated by the state govern.
ment, thus giving the Presidency to Mr.
Hayes. Neither does it believe that the
democratic doctrine that either House can
reject the vote Of a state will prevail. 1t
continues "What then Either the two
Houses must concur in some disposition of
the subject by accepting or rejecting such
votes as will either secure an uudsputed
election or an undisputed no choice, in
which latter case, of course, the House
would proceed, under the constitutional
provision, to elect Mr.. rilden. But if the
two branches cannot agree upon either of
these results, then there would seem to be q
default of election, and such vacancy as,
under the constitution, must be filled by a
new election. the President of the Senate
acting as President of the government until
that election is held and decided. We be-
lieve this is Governor Tilden's view of the
probable course of things. 1t is certainly
the most natural outcome of the present con
fict of parties and opinions, and it may be
described as the worst Of the peaceful alter
natives of the situation"
