South Carolina Free---Ex- Governor
>Chamb erlain's Address.

At noon yesterday, in pursuance
of tho order of President Hayes, the
federal troops were withdrawn from
the State House ut Columbia. There
was no visible excitement or cons
motion +; nothing occurred to dis
ttlrb the public tranquility or create
apprehension, and we are conf
dent that that ms governed. factions
tossed State, tho scene of so much
agitation and violence for the last
eight years. will henccforward be
one Of the most orderly and best
administered Of our American Cons
monwealths, as it always WAS previ-
Gus to tho war. Under tho regime
which has now closed South Carroll
M has suffered moro than any of her
sistor States. Her Legislature has
been the mCst ignorant and corrupt,
her county officers the most incom>
p ,tent, hor minor Judges tho most
scandalous, her taxes the most
exorbitant, her expenditures the
most oxtravagant and wasteful, the
incroHso Of her debt the most strlpcn-
dous in proportion to her resources,
and tho depreciation in the value of
property the most alarming Of any
oven Of the carpet,.bag States. The
people have beon compelled to pay
six or eight times as much annually
for bad government and for intoler
able oppression and swindling us
they paid for good government pro-
vious to tho war. Tho restoration
Of lota' s9lf~cont:ol foretokens strict
economy, low taxes, business con
fdenco and an immediate and deci.
ded enhancement of the valuo of
property. The withdrawal of tho
federal. troops is an auspioious event
for which tho whole country should
thank President Hayes and con-
gratulate Governor Hampton and his
follow citizens. = ts..r.

Wendoll Phillips, Again.

The old reprobato let off good
deal of his venom in late convcr-
sation with q Xerold reporter. He
said among other. things:
[ used only one of my arrows
against Dovcns. Every NIassachu-
setts man remembers that in 1862
he WAS candidate for governor in
that revolt against the Republican
pafty which sought to prevent

return to the Senate. Hayes seems
t. have special liking for men who,
like Schurz and 'Dcvens, havo done
thoir best, in critical moments, to
stab the Republican purity
Correspondent-What do you

old slave-holdinB 3 whip. Since 1860
L have not heard the crack of that
whip until Hampton sent that il -
solent lctter'to Grant. If we had
today a man in the White House
Hampton would never bo admitted
thern after such insolence. If I
read the signs correctly tho people
have moro sclf>rcspect than Hayes
has, and he will soon hear a warm
ing growl along the ground tier.
Correspondent not wait
sir, and let the administration have
time to try it's experiment?
Mr.. Phillips-dFor two reasons.
The Presidents friends have sold
us out. It is no experiment, but a
troachcrolls bargain, and, besides,
the steps they arc going to tako are
very porilous, and once taken are
irrevocabie. There is no doubt Of
the bargain that sold us out. The
Republican papers very properly
held Tilden responsible for his
nephews pelton's) acts, though
Tilden never knew each detail. So
I hold Hayes responsible for his
friends when they sold him out to
tho white South. Tho bargain is
plain. On the ono side tho Demo
Gratis were to stop filibustering and
lot Hayes be counted in. On his
side his friends agreed to withdraw
tho troops; second, to recognize
Nichols and Hampton rs governors;
third, to charter tho Southern
Pacific Railway, giving away mil
lions of national acres and millions
of national bonds. ,Net working
men take notice.) This last item
won Jay Gould and his pocket-piece,
the Tribune. We shall SEQ the
bargain carried out soon. This de-
lay and Commission ore only to let
ms down easily and accustom tho
public mind to the descent. Tho
troops onco withdrawn, blood and
starvation will rule tho South.
There will be no Republican State
south Of tho Potomac. Of course
no d. moo a:ic governor or Lcgisla~
ture will ever call for tho national
troops, and hence no soldier can
cross tho sacred boundary line of a
State. Henry Wilson confessed to
mo that our great mistake was in
lifting those territories, after tho
war, into States. Then there will
DO "solid South" old slave
power under now name. The next
Congress and the next President
will be Democratic unless the North
becomes volcano. Then you will
see millions added to the national
debtin tho shape of pensions to
Confederate soldiers, loans to
Southern States and railways, pays
mont Of half the State debts, &c.

DIDN'T KNOW THAT HE WAS SICK-A
few weeks ago one of our cttIzsDs went to
bed and to sleep, as he says, never feeling
better in his lite. In the morning be awoke
and found his family aud neighbors stand
ing about his bed in a state of great
anxiety, and a strange man trying to get
something sweet with spoon into bis
mouth. To his expressions of astonish-
meDt the reply was: Didn't You know you
were sick 7" "Never was better 10 nv

We thought you were dead or dying and
here is the doctor trying to give you
some medicine" 1t was all a mystery to
him he felt perfectly we'll, wanted no
medicine, was going to get up. After
remembrance aud considerable parley, he
again announced his determl nation to get
up. He then learn9d from his wife that in
the night he uttered most unearthly
shrek," whereupUn she arose quickly,
struck light, aud found him lying upon
his back rigid aud in a state of insensioii-
ty. She Immediately called in the rest of
the household and some of the ReiShbors.
A strong man put his hands under hia head
to raise him and found him "as stiff as a
crewbar" His throat was swollen SO that
all was level from his chin to his stomach.
A sensible lady conceived that there was
virtue IN friction, and rubbed him until che
was nearly exhausted, and probably saved
his life. A physician was called, aud, az
it was the patients hour tor getting up
when the doctor was about to administer
his remedy, he aWoke ''never better in
his life." He got up, went down town as
usual, called on the doctor, and paid him
his bill.-BaBgor Wing.

HOW THE OYSTER BUILDS HIS SHELLS

Mr.. Frank auckland, the naturalist, thus
explains the manner in which the oy ster
builds his she'll. The body of an oyster lie q
poor weak thing, apparently incapable of
doing anything at all. Yet what a mar
velous house an oyster builds around his
delicate frame! When an oyster is fret
born, he is a very simple, delicate dot, as it
we're; and yet he is born with his two
shells upon him. For, some unknown rea
son he always fixes himself on his round
she'll, never by his fat shell and being
once fixed, he begins to grow-buG he only
grows in summer. Inspect an oyster shell
closely, and it will be seen that it is marked
with distinct lines. AS the rings we OBJ
serve in the section of trunk of tree
denote years of growth, SO do the markings
on an oyster tell rs how many years he has
passed In his Z" bed " at the bottom of the
sea. Suppose the oyster under inspection
was born on June III, 1870, he would go
on growing up to the first line we see we'll
marked he would then stop for the win
ter. In the summer of 1871 he would more
than double his sz9 In 1872 no would
again add TO his house. In 1873 and 1874
he would again go on building, till be was
dredged up in the middle of his work in
1875, 80 that he is plainly five and half
years old. The way in which the oyster
grows his she'll is pretty sight. The
beard of an oyster is not only his breathing
organ, g, his lungs, but also his feeding
orgau, by which he conveys the food to his
mouth with its four lips. |
When, then, calm days of June come, the |
oy ster opens his shell, and by means OF his
beard begins to build an additional story
to his house. This he does by depositing
very fine particles of carbonate of lime, till |
at last they form substance as thin as
silver paper, and exceedingly fragile. |
Then he adds more and mole, till at last |
the new shell is as hard as the old she'll.
When oy sters are growing their shells they
must be handled very carefully, as the
new growth of shell will cut like broken
glass, and wound on the finger from an
OYSTER shell is often very poisonous.
