Much has been written against the ac- cordeon, but the first evening after a young man who practiced on one moved into the second floor of house on Union Street, smile lit up the face of the aged citizen who lay in sickness on the floor above. He said that he was now recon ciled to death. .-NorWitcb Bulletin,

The fact that large party of American young ladies is about to make a tour of the Rhine and Switzerland this summer has been pretty we'll advertised, and many French count or German is wearing but one paper coRar week, in order to save up money enough to take the field.

Prof. TyndaII who was among the speakers at the recent meeting in London in favor of the opening of the pubic i- braries on Sunday, unintentionally gave clergymen severe slap during his speech, After alluding to Dean Stanley and sever al other clergymen who were present he said: "We do not desire to invade the time set apart for the pulpit; We only want half of Sunday for intellectual improve. ment." The innocent implication that the pulpit had nothing to do with intellectual improvement caused roar of laughter.

Where. ei- ther husband or wife shall have given any devise or legacy to the other by will, such provision shall be taken to be in lieu of the share herein provided for, unless the contrary shall be expressly stated or shall clearly appear; but in any such case the party shall have his or her election wheth CT to accept the provision of such will or to take such statutory share. The wife shall also, when in the opinion of the Judge of Probate it is necessary, be al- lowed d reasonable sum from the estate of the husband for her support and that of her family during the settlement of his es tate; but in that case shall not take her statutory share till after the expiration ot the time for which such allowance is made.
 Sec. 4. The provisions of the last pre- ceding section, with regard to the statuto- " share of the surviving husband or wife In the property of the other, shall not ap- ply to any case where, by written con- tract made before marriage or after, either party has received from the ether what was intended as provision in lieu of such statutory share. Nor shall either party be entitled to such statutory share who had without sufficient cause abandoned the other and had continued such aban- donment to the time of the others death.
 Sec. 5.

the election might have been obtain
ed, which would have avoided one
of the objections raised to the de-
c'aration of Hampton's election. If
suppose. however, that the state of
affairs cxisting in Columbia at the
time was sufficient excuse for re-
sorting to secondary evidence, and
therefore justifics tn, action taken.
However that may be, do not re.
gard it as affecting the result. The
transcript OF duplicate returns, with
the official certificate Of the secretary
OF State, although secondary evi
dcnce. was, it may be presumed, the
best that coul be had, aud I am of
opinion was sufficient under the term
of the Constitution. And SO, too,
with regard to the presence of the
Senate at the openiony of The returns.
II not actually, it must be held to
have been construc lively present.
Otherwise, after the recognition Of
The lawful House by the Supreme
Court, it would have willfully ignor-
cd plain constitutional duty, there.
by giving sanction to great wrong.
and tending to defeat the will of the
electors as expressed through the
ballot-box, which would have been
rcpugnant alike to good law and
good morals. To enforce right or
prevent wrong the law will, as to
details and mere matters of form.
presume that to have been done
done which ought to have been done.
l am of opinion, therefore, that
Wade Hampton was made Governor
in and over the State of South Caro-.
lima, through the ballot-box, in ac-
cordancc with the Constitution, at the
election held OH the 7th November
last. That he qualified, if not follow
ing the letter, i'll the spirit and intent
OF the Constituti N on the 18th De-
ccmbcr last. That he has been sine.
that time, and is now, the lawful
Governor Of South Carolina. aud
should be obeyed and respected ac-
cordingly. 1t follows from these
views that D. II. Chamberlain was
not Governor on the 81 January, 1877,
the date Of the commission of w. F.
Dover rs trin' justice fnr The City of
charleston, and that his appointment
and commission were without lawful
authority and void.
1t is, therefore, ordered that the
rclutor, James Flynn, be discharge
and so hence withou. lay.

JUDGE RI EDS ISTEKpRE ErATIoS OF
HIS Own DECISION.
In an informal conversation with
the legal reporter of The Acms an,l
Courier, last evening. Judge Red
very decidedly stated that if any of
Chamberlains trial justices u,,emp-
ted in the face OF his decision. to make
any arrests, they should be dealt with
as assailants who committed assaults
on their own responsibility. The
Judge further stated that lie had no
idea that the jailcr would receive any
Of the bogus Justices prisoners, and
that if he did, lie did so at the risk of
punishment for false imprisonment

Governor Hampton in the West

The speech made by Governor
Hampton at Rockford, Ill, last week
was an eloquent plea FOR peace and
determination. lie declared that his
chief motive in going there was to
promote IL true and correct under
standing between the people Of the
North and the South. He said the
South had had enough of war, and
was now seeking peace and cited, rs
evidence Of his truth, the fact that
during the recent Presidential contest
the Southern members Of Congress
by their moderation prevented the
country from being plunged into
another civil war. lie concluded his
address rs follows:
eve arc standing under one flag,
obeying one Constitution, and it is
for us to say what will be the future
Of this country. Give us your help
and We will give You our hearty CO.
operation. We feel and know that if
this is done, if we can have Il rcstora-
ton Of frat crnity, five can make the
people Of this country understa nd
each other we feel then hat there is
Il glorious future before the whole
country We can make it so; sye can
make II So oy u7.cn anu IT! 5ishs !HT=
forming III his allotted sphere his
duty; and having done that, to leave
the consequences to Cod Having
performed our duty, looking back to
the past only to gain wisdom for the
future, and using the present wisely,
and looking to tho future. With hope
and trust in God, 1 am sure that no
may all say North and South para
phrasing the wish Of the fact that
our States may all be distinct rs the
billows, yet one as the sea-"
The North is fast beginning to
understand the South; old sores are
being rapidly healed; hatrcds and
animositics between the two sections
are dying out; and when we shall
have buried all contention and strife,
and arrived atan era Of perfect good
will between all parties, no one in
America will have contributed more
to this priceless consummatio than
our own immortal Hampton. III our
next issue we shall publish lis Rock
ford speech in full.
