rpY TELEGRAPH TO TIE rRTnuyEl


MISE IMPOSSIBLE
fBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE.l
COLUMBIA, s. G., Dec. 25.-Rumors have been
prevalent for several days that Gov. Chamberlain
contemplated q move against Gen. Hampton and
his government 1t has been asserted that procla-
nation would be issued tomorrow. Inan interview
with the Governor this afternoon, he denied all such
Intentions SO long as the Hampton movement is
confined to verbal protests and peaceful opposition
no action will DO taken against il. The Governor
thinks the Democrats wish TO see him commit some
blunder Of the kind and he is not disposed to satisfy
them by compicating further the situation, nor is
he responsible for any proposals Of compromise, if
any have been made. lie regards tie Govcrnorship
as the true aim OF both parties. When that sur
rendered all will be surrendered Especially is he
indignant that any should suppose him to be willing
to trade for the United States Senatorship. He
earnestly supported Mr. Corbn and is satisfied that
he has been legally elected. Even if there was a
vacancy he said that he would not accept the posi-
ton from any party or both parties.
There is very little except talk IN the rumors of
compromise. One or the other party will have to
give way entirely.

elementary training for the thousands of young

The Rev. DR.. Caldwell of Newton referred

pliment to Colby, which has fairly earned its right
to be placed among those colleges which ought to

THE ISLANDER MILL.

THE ISLANDER MILL.
The SANDER mill continues to grind out
new and repeat old SANDERS. SO far as
Mr.. Blaine is concerned operations have
ceased except to give out faint intima
tons that somebody, whose name is not
given, and whose whereabouts is not men
toned, might tell story if be would that
would damage the ex-Speaker. After
thirteen wears of active service IN Con-
oress. six of them as Speaker ofthe House,
this is all that scandal can do to smlrch
the character of Mr.. Blaine, in order to
prevent his nomination as President. II a
better showing than his can be made as to
character public service. ability, fidelity. TO
qualify man to lead the republican party,
to represent the principles by which it
should be guided in the centennial year
and under the peculiar demand of the po-
litical situation, we would like 10 see it.
SANDER has done its worst upon MIR
Blaine, and the result is that his character
stands the stronger in honesty for the at
tempt made to blacken it.
The SANDER mill, however, is not dis
continued. At present it is employed up.
on Secretary Bristow and Senator Morton.
Those gentlemen are not above the reach
Of its operation. The Washington cores
pondents find business to employ them IN
reporting the stories OF alleged corrupt or
wrongful transactions in which Brlstow
and Morton have been concerned. These
accusations will doubtless be shown to be
false and malicious, but the fact that they
are made goes to show that anybody may
be accused, be they ever so innocent.
Mr. Brstow in the minds of some persons
is the embodiment of the idea of purity in
the administration of civil affairs and per-
sonal honesty, yet in the short service
which he has had in public life his enemies
pretend to find that which would stain his
character were it true so as to unfit him
for any position Of honor and trust in the
of affairs. Here, too. is
Mr.. Morton, arraigned in the newspapers
for corruption in connection with the State
Of Indiana and the general government
during the war. at a period in his public
life when his patriotism and ability were
and his acts not called in
question until the present time. We have
no doubt that both Bristow and Morton
are sandered. Every man who has been
l candidate before the people for nominal
ion or election to the Presidency has
been, from the great and good George
Washington down TO the present period
n our political affairs.
1t is strict truth, however, to &ay that
here seems to have been no time since
he election OF our first President, when
scandal began its work so early before the
election as this year, or pursued it with
greater persistence or recklessness. Mr..
Blaine has so far been the most shamefully
of all prominent republicans, but
he has also been the most completely vim
ilicated. Even the democrats in the
House, Lamar among them, also the more
candid of the democratic journals, have
conceded that his defence was complete
and unauswerable, while the republican
press agree with entire unanimity that
his statement sets at rest forever the SLAM
ders to which it was reply.

Mr. Montgomery Blair has been writing anoth-

cratic Pres idential nominee. 1t is addressed to
citizen Of Macon, Ga, ard is published in the
Telegraph and Messenger of that place.
The Boston Globe having misrepresented the
position of Judge lIoar, lie wrote the following to
that paper:
Dear Sir--ln your paper Of this morning your
reporter states that told him "that had said to
the Blame men that was Brstow man, and to

is Inaccurate though he probably thought the Ian

The Massachusetts republican delegates
at large have been heralded far and near
as "Bristow men," Ga the contrary, we
believe every one of them regards the
question of candidates as still an open one,
and has not authorized any one to give
pledges in his behalf. Judge Hoar, Mr.
Dana and Mr.. Forbes are certainly in this
category; and President Claiborne has
made no public ayowal. 1t is perfectly
true that the reformers won gratifying
triumph in the State convention; but the
Inference that the reformers are all 'Bris-
tow men, is mistake. 1t is fortunate
for the republican party that no mans
personal strength as a candidate at this
stage Of the canvass measures the strength
and &C ope of the reform spirit. Boston

is 1T DEMOCRATIC la W

The recent debate with Mr.. Randolph
Tucker, the leading democratic member
of Congress from Virginia. continues to
attract general attention. And 10 wonder;
for o more extraordinary and monslrous
proposition than he sustains as the regular
democratic doctrine of constitutional law
cannot well be conceived.
Mr.. Blaine asserted that Mr.. Tucker
"as Attorney General of Virginia, had
given an opinion that the local authorities
of that State might invade the post Office
and compel the postmaster to give up the
contents of the mail" This statement
Mr.. Tucker did not venture to dispute.
He acknowledged that he had given an
official opinion that "the question OF what
mail matter a citizen of State can re-
ceive was a question OF State Law -
which amounts to the same thing rs Mr.
Blaine's statement of the case-and then
this unblushing advocate OF the most cX-
IRENE State rights was frank and bold
enough to avow that he holds the SAME
opinion to-day.
With this principle thus reasserted-f
principle which would allow any State t'
rifle the mails, as the Southern States usec
to do-well does the New York Evening
Post say: "When Southern democrats il
Congress avow such monstrous doctrines
which would be dangerous also if they
had not been finally overthrown by a cost
" war; when Nor hern democrats APP
plaud and enc jurage the avowal; an'
when influential democratic new paper
accept and approve the doctrines, the i'm
beclity of the democratic party ceases t.
be surprising ."-Aibany JourA0l
