Another Address From General
I!ampt0l.
he peonze of .oouth Carolina.

70 the People Of South Carolina.
The Board of Canvassers have. BY
their unprecedented action to-day,
shown not only their contempt and
defiance of the Supreme Court Of the
State, but their utter disregard OF
their own official integrity. While
the grave questions determining the
result of the recent election were
pending before the Supreme Court,
composed of three Judges belonging
to the Republican party, and in di-
rect violation of the orders of this
tribunal, the Board has issued certifi-
Gates of election to the Republican
Presidential electors ard to Repu5ll-
can State officers, and have refused
to give certificates to Democratic
members of the Legislature shown by
the returns of this same Board to
have been elected in the counties OF
Edgefeld and Laurens. This high
handed outrage is we'll calculated to
arouse the indignation OF our long
suffering people, but / assure them
that this daring aud revolutionary
act of the Board can have no legal
force whatever. l appeal to you,
therefore, in the fullest confidence
that the appeal will notbe unheeded'
that you Will maintain even under
that provooation your character as an
orderly and law-abiding peopie. Du-
ring che past exciting canvass you
have studiously avoided even the
semblance of a purpose to distm b the
public peace or to- transgress the law.
Your cause, and it is the cause OF con
stitutional government Of the country

STEALING A STATE.-lhe wretch

he is obeying inshuctionsVHis plan
is exceedingly simple. He proposes
to constitute himself a Returning
Board, and to issue certificates to the
men who, in bis jud sment, have been
elected. 1t can safely be said in al
vance, that, no matter what the Dem
ocratic majority may be, he will de-
clare that Hayes and Wheeler have
carried the State, and give to them
its four electoral votes. The State
has gone Democratic by an honest
majority, and we must not be cheated
out of the victory.

wolves.
On Saturday morning another expe-
ditiou started out for further slaughter
of the pigeons. The birds had evi-
IDENTIFY sought the roost fer the purpose
of nesting. The woods swarmed with
hunters on Saturday. The great flock
finally rose en- nsdss, and in a short time
every bird had disappeared. The di-
rection of their fight was westward to-
ward the Susquehanna. 1t is estimated
that the flock was fully twelve miles
long; and four or five in width.

Decoration Day Order.

Governor Hartranft has issued the
following order relative to the Decora-
tion of Soldiers Graves:
In accordance with the rules and reg
ulations of the Grand Army of the
Republic, Tuesday, May 80, will be
observed as Memorial Day, to deco
rate with fitting ceremonies the graves
of our fallen comrades. In this Cen
tennial year, when each true patriot
hopes to see the proofs of peace and
good will, and We meet as a united peo-
pie to commemorate the events con-
nected with the birth cf our nation, the
memories of our dead comrades, whose
lives we're required for the establish
ment Of that peace, should be very
near to our hearts and command our
choicest offerings. The mode in which
these ceremonies may be conducted is
left to the Judgment OF Posts, but it is
suggested that they invite the co-opera
tion Of other organizations and Of the
public generally. 1t is hoped the Gus
tom of preceding years Of planting
flowers at the graves will be generally
observed. Where no Posts of the
Grand Army are established, citizens
are earnestly requested to arrange for
the proper observance of the day, that
the grave of each dead soldier and
sailor mag be appropriately honored.
BY order of
JNo. F. HARTRANFT,
Commander-in-C Chief.
