Governor Hampton took formal 7os'

Governor Hampton took formal Hos-
session Of the State House on last Thur.
day, and had the archives of his tempo
ray Office transferred TO their Legitimate
quarters. A detachment of convicts
from the penitentiary were carried up to
the Capitol and employed at cleaning
out the corridors, where the State Con-
stabulary and U. S. troops were stationed.
Ere this, the Capitol is once more clean,
and the administration chosen by the
people occupies the Governors rooms.
The other Republican State officers still
retain their positions, but it is merely o
matter of time to put the whole Demo
cratic State ticket into possession of the
Offices to which they were properly
elected.

SUMTER, s. o., April l3, 1877.
linEssyrs. ivyt e Co..
GENTLEMEN-You favor Of 7th April
is before me. Yo', submit the following
propositions:
First. The meaning and probable
effect of the new Southern policy naugu-
rated by President Hayes. Aud
Second. Should Southern Democrats
seek or accept Office at the hands of the
National Republican Administration.
l think that the action Cf Mr.. Hayes
in the case of South Carolina means that
the President, like wise statesman, hes
felt the popular pulse, and finding that it
throbbed responsively to the words-home
rule, local self-government, the subordi-
nat;on &C the military IN the civil au.
thority, and civil service reform--hs
has followed the indications thus given
out, and that the effect of the treatment,
will be the restoration of the body poll
tic tn health and happiness.
There has been. for long time, but
little essential difference between the
Democratic and Republican theories
the real variation has been manifested in
the conduct Of the parties. If Mr.. Hayes
will pursue such line of action as shall
substantially conform 10 the expressions
of his inaugural address, then he will
elevate the rame of Republicanism in
! the South, and in time divide the respect
able portion of the people on issues which
are not now apparent.
South Carolina, in her new departure,
! will be prepared to forget all animosities
| of the past. She will, without asperity,
remember, that the National Democracy
turned deaf ear to her call for help in
the recent campaign, and that her can.
didatc was told that the nomination of
Hampton was regarded by the friends of
Mr.. Tilden rs giving the State to Hayes
She will not forget that her disenthral.
ment now is the result of q returning
, sense Of justice on the part of the Presi.
| dent of the United States, which has re.
cognized her cause and adjudged it to be
meritorious, notwithstanding the loud
vituperation of her venol, bitter foes.
Southern men and Democrats should
| not seek Office at home or abroad
| neither from the State nor Federal gov.
ernment. But they should all hold their
services az the property of the State or
nation, to be rendered when called for,
according to their powers. If Repub.
lican government can afford to use a
Democratic incumbent, the Democratic
incumbent can equally well afford to
serve Republican administration.
To refuse such Office would be to re.
inaugurate the rule Of the stranger.
| Where are the native Republicans fit to
| hold Federal Office in the State?
Let us meet the new day with no preju-
dices Of the past, but extend to the gov.
ernment of the United States that heart
felt support which her chief magistrate
has entitled her to at our hands.
Very respectfully, your obedient SER
want,
E. w. NOISE.

THE IOwNDEsvILGE MURDERERs.

Tomorrow, Friday, the Goth inst, is
the day fixed for the execution of the
ten colored men convicted at Abbeville
for the murder of DIR. Clayton Allen at
Lowndesville last winter. The crime
was a fearful one, and those who origi-
mated and caused the murder should pay
the forfeit of their lives. It is thought,
hnwAver .. thet Gere-.,e. .e IIs..r.e.: will
commute the sentence of a portion of
the doomed men to imprisonment for
life or long term Of years. This act
which the Governor has probably already
performed will no doubt be approved by
the people OF onr State, and will have
numerous precedents TO sustain 1t. Such
spectacle as ten men suspended from a
gallows for the same act has never been
witnessed in South Carolina, and would
be Of doubtful proprietv at this time. In
1866 six colored men were condemned to
hang at Pickens for The murder of a
ycuag man named Hnnnicutt, bat Gov.
Orr conmuted the sentence of ALI but
one, who was accordingly executed
With report Of the evidence had upon
the trial before him, Governor Hampton
hiss, We are satisfied, properly considered
the relative guilt Of the prisoners, and
his action, whatever it may be, viii Re
sustained by our people, because we are
satisfied it win bo the promptings Of
Justice tempered With mercy. Tho COM
mutatioaiof pRrishmsnt to imprisonment
for life viii nos IN fa.ag4 be IA It has
been IN the past, for the chance. for
sPcedy liberation has gone with the
death of Reppblicapism.

WINNsBoRo, S. c., April 13, 1877.
Aiessrs. Hoyt d Co.:
GENTLEMEN am in receipt of your
letter OF the 7th inst, asking my opinion
whether Democrats should seek or accept
Office from the hands of President Hayes.
l have very decided opinion on the
subject, which have no reserve in ex.
pressing, as I myself have "no axe to
grind"
While in Washington, I became salts.
fed, from personal intercourse with
President Hayes, and with his friends
and those who were well acquainted with
his character, that he intended to carry
out in good faith the Southern policy in.
dicated in ',is inaugural.
The personnel of his Cabinet, some of
whom I interviewed" was pronounced
act in carrying out this policy.
Another thing that gave me the same
opinion, was the perfect Indifference
with which 1 perceived Hayes and his
immediate friends regarded the antagon-
ism of Blaine and his set.
We, here in South Carolina, have the
first golden fruit of policy that proposes
to recognize the South as co-equal part
of the Union, and as entitled to the full
protection of the Constitution, without
distinction as 20 race, party or locality.
Now, if 70 make his Southern policy a
success, Hayes desires to fill Offices in
the South with Southern men of standing
and character, why should he not have
the benefit of their services? And why
should a mock modesty prevent those
whose conditions are such as to render
themselves available for holding Office,
from letting the fact b be known in be-
"office seekers" the best of our men viii
not humiliate themselves by letting it be
known chat they will accept Office.
Yours respectfully,
JAMES II. RION.

The following is Governor Hampton's
reply to Mr.. Cardozc's letter:
STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
EXECUTIVE CHAMBER,
COLUMBIA, April lG, 1877.
f. l.. Ctriozo, Esq
SIR-As you have misapprehended the
purport of my communication of Satur-
day and portion of my conversation
with you, it is due to you, as well as to
myself, that my correct position should
be understood. have entertained no
idea of passing judgment Us to any claim
you may have to the Office of Treasurer.
This question belongs to another tribunal
where it must be settled. In using the
word "office," merely meant TO desig-
nate the room now used by you, until the
courts decide who is the proper custodian
Of this room, and the State property in it.
| proposed that it should be locked and
sealed. There will be no violation ofany
rights in pursuing this course. The pres
ent occupants of these rooms can lock
them, seal can be attached, and no one
shall have access to them until it is de-
cided to whose custody they should be
committed.
My communication conveyed sugges-
tion as to the course you should pursue,
but rs you decline to follow it, l must
take such action as will protect me in
guarding the property of the State. This
can be done by the plan indicated.
l am, respectfully yours,
WADE HAMPTON.

OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL.
COLUMBIA. S. G., April 1G, 1877.
Wade II. dfanning, Esq, Prirate .Srcreta-
ry-
SIR-Aftcr comforting fully with each
other, we have concluded to reply Jointly
to the communitions addressed TO Us by
you on the 14th instant, as comparison
of their contents indicates that the sub
ject-matters of each are varied only to
the extent Of their personal applicability.
On the 7th day Of November last we
were legally elected TO the several Offices
the functions Of which we now respective
ly exercise. OF this fact we were duly
apprised by the State Board of Canvass
crs, who alone were competent BY lny to
determine the result of the election.
Upon receipt of the notification to that
effect, through the legal channel, we
qualified by executing the necessary
bonds and taking the oaths of office, and
were thereupon commissioned by the
then undisputed Executive Of the State.
Having thus complied with all the requi-
sitions of the law OH the subject, we en-
tered upon the discharge Of our duties
and the enjoyment of our rights rs officers
CT the State.
Subsequently, contests for the posses
sion of our offices were made by those to
whom we had respectively been opposed
as candidates for election, and proceed
lngs in quo ,0drrdnto were begun in the
Supreme Court of The State to test the
validity of our titles TO such offices. No
judicial determination of the matters i'm
controversy has yet been reached, and
until such determination is had, we can
conceive of no reason, of law or fact,
which would justify us in complying with
the wishes of the Governor, as indicated
in your communication. We are in no
sense claimants for the various offices
which we fill. We are lawful possessors,
and are in court not TO seek to have our
titles granted, but to maintain them
against those who, as plaintiffs, are ask
ing that we should be ousted. In this
phase of the case-and it is the only one
which can be properly presented to the
Governor-it would be q legal nhsnrdity
for us to voluntarily shift positions with
our contestants, and would result, logi-
cally, in complete abandonment of our
rights. We, therefore, respectfully de.
cline to comply with the request indica-
ted by the Governor.
We are not insensible to the fact that
1t is physically competent for the Cover
nor to carry his wishes into effect by ex-
cluding us from access to our Offices ard
their records. Whilst we shall make no
resistance 20 such process as that, should
he determine to institute il, we trust that
the same sense of responsibility for the
proper discharge of the administration"
which he pleads in advance as justifica-
tion for the covert threat of force will
inspire him to pause before taking step
that will obviously trench upon rights
guaranteed by that constitution which
he has sworn to obey.
Very respectfully, your obedient SER
wants,

Attorney General South Carolina.

The question OF occurring the admis-

seek to invest their capital in our
enterprises, If the security furnished
