HAMPTON AND AIN +.

A gentleman answering to the
geological cognomcn of Stone turn
ed up here yesterday, in response
to an, invitation tcndered him by
General Devcrs to resign his place
as United States Attorney for South
Cal olina. Ho brought his resigna~
ton with him. This was prudent
on the part Of the geological spcci-
men, for lie is carpet -baggcr, and
the same line of financial conduct
that made his resignation accepta-
bic to tho President made him eX
tremcly disagrceablo to the new
authorities Of South Carolina. He
tolls me that Help mcleod Hampton
is nakmg it very hot for the late
friends Of mHn (colorcW of that
State. The II. M G. Governor is
dead in earnest, and has committees
and grand jurics hard at work in~
vcstigating tho conduct Of the late
friends of man (coloroO pnt in
Office there by the late administra-
ton, and he is especially warm and
active in his pursuit of his late
opponent, Chamberlain. Stone
says that if Help me God Hampton
gets hold of said Chamberlain he
will have an opportunity rendered
him Of serving the State in manner
moro useful than ornamental.
We now comprehend the meaning
Of that poctical quotation of tho
eloquent Chamberlain ut the Blaine
Bowen Fourth of July celebration,
when he said
lhor n voice you cannot hear,
That bids me not to stay;
I see hand you cannot SEQ,
That bcckOnS me away.
It was the voice of the sheriff,

And SO wo learn that these fel
lows of South Carolina. Florida and
Louisiana, who followed the army
into the South, and who, so long in
power and on plumber, have, ut the
moment the amy WAS withdrawn,
''foldcd their tents like the Arabs
and silently stole away tho ONLY
stealing, By the by, that is sanction
ed by the people of the United
States. In their desperate efforts
to secure the electoral vote for tho
Republican candidate they were, it
now appears, not only fighting for
place, but to keep from the pcniten-
tiary. It is little hard on the
poor devils that, after selling their
worthless souls to tho devil, the
very administration that they
fought SO hard to put in power
abandons them, not to their enemies,
but to that blind Justice whose
nly-adjusted scale Weighs, and
whose sharp sword Furnishes, with~
out fear, affection OF favor.
In an alteration among several
men in Baltimore on Friday,
Andrew Weiner was knocked down
and brutally kicked about the head
and neck. He died within ten
minutes after being conveyed to the
station house. Thomas Freeze, his
alleged assailant, ran off, but was
soon captured, and along with him
two other men, named Mcdonald and
Brcekcn, who were concerned in the
quarrel. Mcdonald is an OK police
officer, and some two years ago was
sentenced to the pcnitcntiary for
shooting and killing negro named
Brown, but owing to flaw in the
indictment, he was released before
his term of service EXPIRED
N-Prcsident Grant has been pros
sonted with the freedom of the city
of Edinburgh. The scono was q vcry
Impressive. The Lord Provost said:
"Hech lad, since yc thocht to COON

we'll all be unco youckie to hear
blaud o yonr CAB Gang your amt
about the town, but mind yo when
yc got cheonge for saxpenco, it's
soon slippit ava" The Generals
voice was so chokcd with emotion
that the reporters could not catch
his answer.
"I'm good dcal spryor than I
thought I was" said an old gontlc-
man who had passed his thrco score
and ten. "How did you find it out ?"
asked ono of his grand children.
"By noighbor Johnson's bull trying
to interview mo as + ca'ne through
his pasture this morning." quietly
replied the old gentlem,n.
