New-York tribune., 1876-11-02

missioners throughout the State j have never ap-
pointed from my own party candidate for oihce'
and whenever any Commissioner appointed by me
has subsequently become a candidate for office l
have appointed in his place who is not candi-
date. Thus while Justice, mercy, or decency has
been shown TO me by my opponents in this cam
paign, challenge the naming of a single official act
of mine connected with the canvass or election
winch has not been fair and impartial
GOV. RANDoLPn's UNFORTUNATE ASSERTIONS.
The statements Of Gov Randolph respecting Mr..
Hagood the Clerk of the United States Circuit
Court and Mr.. Pointer. the United States Chief
Supervisor of Elections, are bald misrepresentation
and travestIes of their views and statements. Both
these gentlemen are my warm political supporters
and both unequivOcally commend and applaud my
recent action in suppressing domestic violence ana
insurrection in the State
Gov. Randolph's statements to the effect that all
Republican Judges and many other leading Repub-
licans have deserted me in the canvass are likewise
false Of the ten Republican judges in the State
six are now my supporters and OF the remainder
only two are opposing me- OF other leading ana
conscientious Republicans | assert that know OF
no one who does not now support me or who does
not especially approve my recent conduct. Con
spicuous among these latter are the Hon Reuben
Tomlinson the Hon. ID. T. COrbin, W. +. Earle, and
the Hon. William Stone, all gentlemen of the high
est reputation and character here and abroad.
Gov. Randolph is equally unfortunate IN ms
efforts to ascribe my recent action TO aspirations lor
the United States SenatOrshlp If he bad Sought
the truth he would have known that at the outset
of nv candidacy for the Governorshp publicly an
nounced that if elected should under no clrcum-
stances be a candidate for Senator, an announce
ment published conspicuously by The Charleston
Necs and Courier and used 10y that Democratic organ
as a ground for advocating my support by the Dem
ocratic party of the State
NEW PROOF or THE CONSPIRACY.
Enough has now been presented to show the char
octcr of Gov Randolph's letter. Many of the mat
ters referred to have no interest to the public ont
side of South Carolina, except as they affect the
great question Of the necessity of my recent action
in respect to the domestic violence and nsurrec'lon
which | have declared to exist here. Upon that
question evidences accumulate each day and hour
which would appal the stoutcst and hardest heart
New murders come to light. New atrocities are re-
vealed. The evidences of a conspiracy to diSira;-
cbise a race and crush by brute force whole people
multiplv with each step of investigation. Gov
Randolph consigns me TO wretchcd fate whether
elected or deeatcd' accept the full responsibility
of all nv acts and await with confidence the YER
dict which lust men will render upon my efforts 10
discharge duties as difficult and trying as have
fallen to the lot of any American Governor. GER
tainIy do not envy the fate which will overtakc the
man who has come here for purely partisan ends TO
gather ISLANDERS to heap upon me and the people
whom / am struggling to protect and defend.
ID. II. CHAMBERLAIN,
Governor of South Carolina
Columbia, s. C., Nov. !, 1-76
