WADE HAMPTON went through the form of
being inaugurated Governor of South Caro-
lima at Columbia yesterday. His speech,
which the telegraph charscterizes by courtesy
as his inaugural, was exceedingly intem-
perate, and will be very far from producing
the effect calculated by its author. His state
ment that ''the Federal troops were
used to promote the success of g
political party" at the recent election is
hardly worthy of contradiction. Its falsity is
apparent to every impartial mind. The
army has been put 10 no use other than the
preservation of the public peace. Who
doubts that to the presence Of the handful of
Federal soldiers In Columbia the country Is
indebted for having been spared the spectacle
of bloody conflict between the rival factions?
II the army is not intended to be used to protect
the lives and property of citizens, and to
maintain and uphold the established and
legal governments of the States when they
declare themselves unable To do 50, WIZ have
we an army atalll Mr.. Hampton's talk about
the army is silly and foolish. If there Is any
one thing, more than another, that all
good citizens of every section are unani-
nous upon, It is in praising the
wisdom and moderstion which has char
acterized the course of the Administration in
dealing with the Southern States.
Now that there are two persons claiming
the Governorship of South Carolina, the
Federal Government will be forced to decide,
without delay, whether It viii recognize Mr..
Chamberlain or Mr.. Hampton. We feel
assured that the matter will be carefully con-
sidered, and that impartial justice will be
done.

Mr.. Cox, OF N. IN the chair.
Mr.. WALDR ON, of Mich, called attention to
the fact that the bill appropriated 00o, 900 less
than the bill Of last year and $sOoooOo less than
agreed with some Of the reductions, he thought
that in the main they were too great and that the
amount appropriated was inadequate to the effi-
cient prosecution Of the postal service.
After a very brief debate the committee then
proceeded to consider the clauses Of the bill under
the five minute rule for amendment
Mr.. STONE. of Mo-, made an effort TO increase
the appr opriation for letter carriers from q, $780,
900 to 81 go oco, but the amendment was rejected
q proviso the bill introduced the other day by Mr.
Cox, graduating the pay of letter-carriers In
cities Of one hundred thousand Inhabitants and
over from $s0e 70 q, 900 per annum, according to
length Of service, and graduating the pay OF car
ries IN cities Of less than one hundred thousand
Inhabitants at from $500 to $500 per annum.
Mr.. HOLMAN made the point Of order that
the amendment was new legislation, and not In
the line Of retrenchment, and Mr.. CLyMER, who
was temporarily in the chair, sustained the point
of order.
Mr.. SCHLFICHER, of Texas, moved to in
crease the appropriation for inland transportation
on all other than railroad routes t25I, ,ss3 which

discussed The question, principally upon point
regarding the Mississippi grand jury.
Mr. WEST having charged that the
HANGING OF JOHN GAR, IN LOUISIANA,
in 1876, was political urder,
Mr. STEVENSON differed with him. and that
Gar was hung on charge CT having poisoned .
family. and that Republicans and Democrats alike
participated in the hanging, and he gave Gov.
Warmoth as his authority for the statement.
Mr. THURMAN said that the Senator from
Indiana had stated that the Democrats en- this
floor had admitted the existence Of these out
RACES. II he meant to state that the Democrats
hero had admitted all the stories Of outrage that
the Republicans had been telling here for the
past six years. then he had not heard them Alright.
Neither Is he correct in stating that these out
RACES have always been denied, for 1t Is not so.
The Senator from Alabama came to the seat Of
the speaker, (Mr. THuRMAS,) a few years ago,
and thanked him for his speech denouncing the
Ku. .Klux. They have not, It is true, pleaded
guilty to the Indictment Of the.Republican party
In ali its hideousness, but they have admitted
frauds and intimidation. The Senator also says
when the Democratic party denounce these out
RACES they will cease; but they will not Cease so
long Is they can be used foy overturning MAORI
ties and counting in defeated candidates. These
charges of outrage were the stock in trade Of the
Republican party, and would not cease.

amendments relate to the post routes.
Mr. CLARK said that the Senate had put on
the bill number Of sections embracing new leg

TO put new legislation on bill of this kind. The

RICH WITHOUT MONEY. Many a man
is rich without money. Thousands of men
with nothing in their pockets, and thous-
anGs without even a pocket are rich. A
man with good sound constitution, a
good stomach, a good heart, and good
limbs, and pretty good head piece is rich.
Good bones are better than gold tough
muscles than silver and nerves that flash
fire and carry energy to every function are
better than lands. 1t is better than a
landed estate to have the right kind of a
father and mother. Good breeds and bad
breeds exist among men as really as among
herds and horses. Education may do much
to check evil tendencies or to develop good
ones but it is great thing to inherit the
right proportion of faculties to start with.
The man is rich who has agood disposition
who is naturally kind, cheerful, hopeful,
and who has flavor of wit and fun in his
composition.

SHARP CANINEs.-Two dogs were often
observed % go to certain point together,
when the small one remained behind at a
corner of large field, while the mastiff
went around by the side of the field, which
ran up hill for nearly a mile and led to a
wood on the left. Game abounded i'm those
districts, and the object of the dogs ar
rangement was soon seen. The terrier
would start a hare and chase it up hill to-
wards the large wood at the summit, where
they arrived somewhat tired. AT this. point
the large dog, which was fresh ard had
rested aftsr his walk. darted after the ami.

Il GOLDEN GIRL,


There is servant girl living with a fam
lily ain Detroit, says the Free Press who
wouldn't be permitted to change places if
slO week would be any induccmept for
! her to stay. She makes il her special duty
to meet all agents and beggars at the door,
and to dispose of them without the least
annoyance to the family. She has a rule to
meet each case, and her rules are perfection.
The door bell never fools her. She can
! tell callers ring from a beggar's ring as
| certainly as the bell is touched. When she
opens the door and finds a man with a red
goatee, having a clothes wringer i'm his
hand, she doesn't wait for him to hem and
haw and say that his clothes wringer beats
all the other wringers ever made. She gets
the start 10y saying:
''Iou seem like a decent, respectable
man, and as friend | warn you that the
| owner of the house sa W you come up the
steps and he ran into the back yard to un-
chain his Russian bloodhound
The man with the red goatee slngs that
| wringer over his right shoulder and canters
out of that ncighborhoo6 with his teeth on
| edge and cold chills playing tag up and
down his back.
The next one may be a young lady. who
| boldly inquiries for the lady of 1.-THE house,
and has new kind Of face powder to sell.
You can go in" whispers the girl, oand
| will stand at the door SO as to rush in
| when you call. If the mistress asks You to
taste anything, beware of poison. She may
not have her revolver this morning, aud I
guess it will be safe for you to go i'm
"Why-why ?'' stammers the young
lady.
go right in !; she may not be danger
ous."
''Never mind. I'll call again. Pm
hurry"
And that settles that case.
The next is one of those chaps who 90
about with tears in their eyes, willing to
work if work can be had but never finding
any work their health will permit them to
do.
Madam he says rs she opens the door,
''for Heavens sake let me work at some
thing long enough to earn a slice of bread9''
She motions for him to GO around to the
side door and is there to let him IN. She
hands him an axe weighing seven pounds.
with straight handle, points to three OF
four big knots which have become almost
petri6ed, and very softly says
''You look hungry, and as soon as YOU
split those up I'll give you the best meal
you've had in month";"
She goes in and he spits on his hands,
looks at that old AK, and then folds his little
tent and slips through the gate like a
shadow of fate.
Then the little girl who canvasses for the
orphan asylum rings the bell She is met
with a smile and the hired girl says:
''You poor little thing 1 pity the
orphans. If you will get the mayor to
come here and say it is all right will give
you three cents.''
The little girl thoughtfully pursues her
way and another case comes, is met and
disposed of, and the mistress of that house
is never disturbed or annoyed.
