The burden Of their faults must bear.
We must shoulder others shame

electors by their unconstitutional meas
ures, they will probably learn some sense
for the future. In Oregon and Vermont
the Democrats have the matter before the
Courts, and in the latter State Hon.
Ames Aldrich, who has four more votes
than the other Democratic electors, is
thought to be entitled to the seat of
postmaster Sollace. The provision that
the remaining electors may fill the
vacancy under the State law is not
thought to apply in his case, as being in
eligible at the time he was voted for, his
votes could not legally be counted, and
the person receiving the next highest vote
was legally elected. The position is a
strong one, and no doubt will be pushed
to the full letter of the law in both cases.
The States of Louisiana, Colorado, Flori-
da and Nevada have failed to provide
mode for filling vacancies in the electoral
college. In Louisiana, if the statement
that two Of the Republican electors are
Federal ofice-holders prove correct, they
need not try to count Hayesin, for all the
doubtful votes combined could not elect
him, even if Tilden gets no more votes.
The two vacancies referred to would pre-
vent majority, and the House of Repre-
scntatives would elect Tilden and Hen

A PRESENT FOE HAMPTON.

1t has been suggested in several papers
of the State that the ladies Of South Car
olina ought to raise fund and present
Gov. Hampton with the elegant mansion
in Columbia which once belonged to his
family. It would be a fine compliment
to our gallant son of Carolina, and COM
lug from the fair maidens of the State he
could not decline to receive it. They do
not make this proposition, because they
think the position of Governor of South
Carolina is burden to any true Caro-
linian. It is an exalted position, and is
of itselfa sufficient reward for whole
life time of fpublic service. The PROPOSE
tion is made with view to placing on
record the sentiments of our noble
women towards the msn who has wrested
our State from thieves. 1t is not to re-
ward him for accepting the Office of Gov
ernor, but to testify their appreciation of
his past services to his State. We hope
the ladies of Columbia will lead off by
forming a society for this purpose, and
that the ladies of every county in the
State will promptly initiate their ex-

Governor Hampton.

To the Editor Of the Mc,cs and Courier:
The people of South Carolina cannot
repay the debt of gratitude they owe to
Wade Hampton by electing him Cover
nor, That imposes burden rather than
benefit, for no such position can add to
his fame. But the people of the State
can demonstrate their regard for the man
in way that will add comfort and honor
to his declining years. 1t is known that
Gen. Hampton by the recent war, in his
noble efforts to maintain what all regard
ed the honor and interest of the Palmetto
State, lost all of his princely fortune, and
is now reduced to absolute poverty. 1t
is also known that the old homestead,
long known in the City of Columbia, to
which our people were wont to repair in
days of yore, as their political and social
Mecca, has passed out of the family, and
is now in the hands of strangers and in
fidels. 1t is therefore proposed that the
friends of Governor Hampton through
out the State contribute, each the sum of
one dollar, to be applied to the purchase
of the old family mansion of his fathers,
to be presented to him on the day of his
Inauguration, or as soon thereafter as
practicable. If the clubs will take it in
hand nov in the flood tide of victory. the
work will be accomplished in ten days.
The writer took no part in the late polit-
ical canvass, nor did he vote at the cleo
ton, but sympathized most earnestly
throughout in the reform movement, State
and National, and unite in the universal
demonstrations of joy at the result.

had call meeting on the 18th inst. The
President called the meeting to order, and
upon motion the following resolutions were
adopted:
Resolred, That notwithstanding the De-
mocracy have won o glorious victory in the
State of South Carolina, and particularly in
Anderson County, we will notlay down our
Democratic implements to canker and rust
by no use, but that we will continue to hold
our regular monthly meetings.
Resolved, That we postpone the considera-
ton of taking in as members OF our Club
the colored men that did not vote in the re-
cent election until our next meeting.
Our President, Maj. r. F. Simpson then
rendered his resignation on account of age
and infirnities, which was received, and
Mai. Larkin Newton was elected to fill the
vacancy. We reorganized our Executive
Committee, making W. ]. Martin Chair
man.
We have started afresh to run another po-
litical year of twsnty-four months if that be
necessary to retain the position We have
gained over the Radicals. We do not in
tend to go back ON ourselves or eat any more
dirt in politics.

OBITUARY..

Departed this life on October H. 1876,
MRS. LUCINDA E. MCGEE, wife of Jesse
P. MCGEE, and daughter of Col. James Elm
erson She was born January %, 1927, was
baptized and received into the fellowship of
First Creek Baptist Church in 1916, and was
married to Jesse P McGee February 10, 1S4S.
She ever adorned the profession she made
of religion in ar orderly and practical life
of godliness. It was not difficult for even
strangers to soon know from her converse
ton that she was supremely attached to her
church. She early in life exhibited those
traits of character which in all after years
marked and distinguished her life for active
and constant usefulness in the cause of her
Redeemer She was not less favorably
known in the social circle among the peo-
pie of her community. l. was not only an
assured fact that all met hearty welcome
at the threshold of her door, but were made
the recipients of all that heart could wish
when once admitted into her happy home.
She was ever in the van III every good word
and work, and many who have passed
through scenes of affliction, and over whom
dark and lowering clouds of sorrow have
gathered, will bless her memory, and respect
her grave as the resting-place of true and
sincere friend.
During her last long and painful affection
she was never known to murmur, and con-
stantly expressed the most explicit conf
dcnce in and reliance on Christ-hcr friend
ever feeling, and seeming to realize. in its
fullness, the precious truth that in His
providence over her He would do that only
which would be for her good and His glory.
Her only anxiety seemed, as it is with every
Christian, for the loved ones left behind.
Many earnest prayers fell from her dying
lips for the husband and children whom she
loved as her own life. When the last mo-
ment came, without one doubt or fear, she
quietly breathed life's last moment away,
and fell gently asleep in the arms of bless
ed Saviour.
1t is sad to know that we shall see her in
life no more. Her place in the church and
family are vacant forever in time, but we
may meet her where no adieus are spoken,
and no farewell tears are shed.

How TO COUNT THE VoTE.-United
States Senator Whyte, of Maryland, in an
interview with Sun reporter, said:
He is confident that Mr.. Tilden has
carried Louisiana and Florida, and
probably South Carolina, and that in
spite of the returning boards the votes for
Mr. Tilden in those States will be
counted for him. The votes of such
electors will be certified to the President
Of the Senate, and copies will also be sent
TO Senators. When the Senate and
House sit together to count the votes in
February one teller will be appointed by
the Senate and two by the House, who
will count and declare the votes as they
are handed to them by the Vice-Presi-
dent. Should the Vice. President decline
10 produce the certificates in favor of Mr..
tTilden, Senator may produce copies of
chem and move that the votes be counted.
The Vice-President may also decline to
nut this motion to the joint convention
Of the two Houses, in which case the
tellers will be asked to put the motion to
y vote. AS two of the tellers will be
Democrats and one Republican, ma
iority of them can decide as to the pro-
Ipriety of putting the motion, and as the
Democratic majority in the House is large
enough to control the joint convention it
is plain that the votes of all the States that
are really cast for Mr.. Tilden may thus
be counted. Should the Senate withdraw
and decline to count these votes, the
matter will 90 to the House of Represeen-
tativcs for decision, rs in a case of a
failure to elect by the people. In that
event of course Mr.. Tilden would be
elected President of the United States.
