THE MEETING LAST MONDAY.

The mass meeting of the people of York
county, held in the Court House last Mon
day, was largely attended, Notwithstanding
the inclemency of the weather. Every Sec
tiop of the county was represented, and among
those present was quite number of colored
citizens, who were as enthusiastic and deter
mined in the encouragement aud support OF
Governor Hampton as are the whites.
A remarkable spirit of unanimity charac-
terized the action of the meeting, and from
the proceedings, which We publish in another
column, it will be seen that the people Of
York have resolved to cordially uphold and
support, by all lawful and peaceful agencies"
the government of Wade Hampton, and will
recognize no other. Not the least and effect.
i've of these agencies will be the financial aid
which the taxpayers will cheerfully contrib
ute whenever called upon to do so. Upon
this point, so far as we have been able to
learn, there is not dissenting voice or the
slightest opposition. With equal alacrity
the heavy as well as the small taxpayers
eviuce their willingness to respond to the call
of Governor Hampton, and if the other
counties of the State will do their duty as
fully as we feel assured York will do hers,
there need be no fears that Wade Hampton
will lack for funds to keep in motion the
government of reform which the people have
inaugurated with him at the head.

intendents of the Lunatic Asylum and the
Penitentiary, that be is prepared to provide
for the relief of these institutions, and has
directed the superintendents to draw on him
for the amounts needed. Both institutions
were sadly in need of help.
My attention having been directed to sew
eral articles in the newspapers published out
side of the State commenting on the Mackey-
Hayes interview, l obtained from Governor
Hampton positive declaration concerningit
In his Office was copy of the Cincinnati Ga
zette of January first, in which, in the report
of the subsequent interview with Gazette re-
porter, Judge Mackey says, in speaking of the
interview with Hayes, that "he did, of course,
not say anything to indicate purpose on the
part of Hampton to favor the Inauguration
of Hayes. Hampton had expressly warned
him to do no such thing" Governor Hamp-
ton thinks this statement of Judge Mackey
sufficient to correct the false impression pro.
duced by the first interview. He, however,
said further the Judge went to Ohio on pure.
ly private business, and was not sent by him,
nor authorized in any way to speak for him,
nor for the Democrats of South Carolina.
The views he (Mackey) expressed are his own,
not Hampton's, and the reporter must have
confounded the two. Governor Hampton
said further that he has always believed Gov
ernor Tilden fairly elected, but had enter
tanned great doubts whether he would be al
lowed to take his seat.
In reference to- the letter which Mackey
bore, Governor Hampton said the duplicate
letter forwarded to Governor Tilden was not
published as he desired and requested that it
should be, and the publication Of the Hayes
letter alone had attracted attention on that
account. The sending of the two letters had
been cordially approved by various prominent
Democrats as an evidence of the peaceful and
fair spirit in which the Presidential question
was regarded here. He said, in conclusion,
that Tilden or Hayes must be President, un-
less military Dictator seizes the government
"Our people desire peaceful, constitutional
solution Of these questions, and we trust this
will be had. Peace is essential to us, and we
of the South should take no part in the set
Element of the Presidential contest until called
upon to dc 50 by legitimate authority"

THE HAYEs.MACKEY INTERVIEW.

We published last week letter from Gov
ernor Hampton, to Governor Hayes, of Ohio,
which letter was borne by Judge Mackey.
While in Columbus, Judge Mackey was inter-
viewed by q correspondent Of the New York
Herald, who, in his report, causes Judge
Mackey to place Governor Hampton in a
false position regarding the Presidential con-
test. The fact of Governor Hampton writing
to Governor Hayes under the existing cir.
cumstances, Notwithstanding he wrote simi-
lar letter of the same date to Governor Tlden)
has been the subject of criticism with Demo
Gratis, North and South, and the position said
to be sscribed to Hampton by Mackey has
had the effect to excite inquiry, the result Of
which is that Governor Hampton did not au-
thorize Judge Mackey, nor has he authorized
any one else, to give expression to his views
on the Presidential question. If Judge Mack
ey is correctly reported, he must have made
The statements unauthoritatively, and on bis
own responsibility. The Columbia correspon-
don't Of the Nesus and Courier interviewed
Governor Hampton upon the subject, last
Friday, and reports the following as to what
the Governor says in reference to Judge
Mackey's statements and the letter to Gov
ernor Hayes:
On visiting Governor Hampton's Office this
evening, I found the ante-room full OF visitors
in waiting. The private secretary was busily
engaged issuing and mailing certain copmls. IN m
sions the forms and headings Of which are
identical with those long used in the Execu,
tive Office. Upon inquiry I also ascertained
that saveral thousand dollars of the volunteer
tax levy have been received and arc now In

THE FEELING IN THE STATE.

Already reports of mass meetings, in
support of the Hampton government, have
reached US from various sections Of the State.
Charleston led off on the 2lst of December,
by adopting resolutions recognizing Wade
Hampton and none other as the lawful Gov
ernor of South Carolina, pledging such aid
and assistance, moral, financial and material,
as may be required for the establishment and
maintenance of the constitutional government
of which he is the head
On the first Monday of the month meetings
were held in Edgefeld and Union counties,
at which resolutions to the same purport were
adopted and on last Monday, according to
-una~~asoreer,ts that We have seen, meetings,
having for their object the endorsement of
Hampton, were to have been held in Darling
ton, Lancaster, Abbeville, Spartanburg, New
berry, Anderson, Lexington, Williamsburg,
Marion, Sumter, and Rchland counties. Be-
sides those named, We presume every county
in the State has, by this time, or will, at an
early day, hold public meetings to give ex-
preston to the popular will on the question
uppermost in the minds Of the people-wheth-
er or not those who support a government by
their taxes shall have the right of representa-
tian in that government. and receive its pro-
lection.
The people have adopted what appears to
be the most feasible method of solving the
problem of their political complications. 1t
has been termed by some "the starve 'em out
policy"-thst is, to pay no taxes to the Cham.
berlain government, and thereby "starve it
out" as it is notoriously true that money |!
money ! is the one sole aim and purpose of
carpet-bag rule. The following, therefore,
from the Columbia Union-H Herald, Chamber
lain's organ and mouth.piece, is not without
significance at this time:
Gen. Hampton strongly intimates. in his
New Years address that he will measure the
confidence of Democrats in the legality of his
movement by the readiness with which they
respond to his tax levy. This is wise. Taxes
are a test of sovereignty, and their payment
indicates loyalty. Gen. Hampton has called
for an installment of 40 mills upon the
taxable property Of the State. This should
produce SITS, ,000 on the basis of the receipts
of last year. 1t really is not large sum for
an enthusiastic people to pay. Throw off
$4,000 for the Republicans and it is just
about two dollars per head for the legal Dem
ocratic voters of the State. Small as it is,
however, we should consider it remarkable
exhibition of confidence, and if Gen. Hampton
is able to announce within thirty days the re-
ception of that amount from the taxpayers
throughout the State, we should be ready to
acknowledge that the "starve 'em out" policy
might possibly succeed.
