Gov. HAMPTON at Home,

COLUMBIA, April 8 Gov. Hamp-
ton arrived here this evening on a
opecial train, accompanied by large
military and civic delegations from
Charlotte, n. c., and all points in this
State on the line Of the road. He was
received here by the entire military,
fire and other organizations at the de-
pot, where procession was formed,
headed by the band Of the Eighteenth
United States infantry and he was
escorted, amid great enthusiasm, to
Carolina Hall, where he was Inaugural.
led in December last.
Addressing an immense concourse
of people he announced that his policy
In future would be one of peace and
harmony, and that he would support
President Hayes as long as he pursued
the policy narrated in his inaugural
address. The Governor reiterated the
pledges made to the colored people in
his campaign speeches, and said that
in the administration of the law he
should know no race.

let us 60 to work and select some
good and efficient man for the Presi>
dency of the company, and then take
steps to have it quickly. While such
writers as "Barkus" are barking at
Mahone's heels we shall try to have
about 400 to6OO able bodied convicts
digging the road-bed from here to
Wise and Lee. We expect to have

Sensible and reasonable people see
that we have the labor wherewith to
build this road, furnished, clothed,
guarded and fed for us without mon,

with this we canot build a narrow>
guage railroad in this country, we
had better go West and leave Bar

CHARLES Won MASON.

Many Of the friends of Gov.
Kemper will regret the withhold
ing of his signature to the bill de-
claring the name of Charles Won
Mason, Of Fauquier. It is sug-
gested that the courts could de-
clare the name, and hence no ne>
cessity for the bill, but the bill had
already been passed and there was
no economy in driving the poor,
but deserving young man, to the
courts for thing which the legis-
lature had already done and only
needed the Governors signature to
complete. The fact that this is
the only bill of a local nature that
Gov. Smith had presented at the
present session, and that he had on
the previous evening made harsh
criticisms on the floor of the house
touching Gov. Kemper's course
with regard to the canal lease bill,
will, by uncharitable persons, be
adverted to as his private reason
for his defeat of this little bill.
The young man seeking the
namo has, by hard work and hon
esty, made some character and ac-
CURED some means. He is known
by more names than one, and has
experienced trouble in his business
matters therefrom. A very worthy
young lady has been waiting for
the passage Of this act in order to
marry him. He promises to make
a citizen of no mean value. Uns
less a good reason can be given,
better than any yet published, this
small matter will not do the Gov,
ernor any good.

The following is a copy of the act
introduced and advocated in the Sem
ate by Senator g. T. Smith and passed
by that body, and yesterday passed
by the House of Delegates without
amendment which secures TO married
women, on conditions, all property ac>
quired by them before or after mar
riage:
Be IL enacted by the General ASSEM-
bly, That the real and personal prop

that nothing herein contained shall
deprive her of the power to create,

OUR n. q. II. X.

There never was an opportunity
tor the building of railroad with
less cash capital than that which
has suddenly presented itself to the
people of Bristol, Scott, Lee and
Wise, in the case of the b. G.. & l.
N. G. R. r. There never was a
case where such an opportunity
was worse needed. Very little &C.
tual money can now be had for this
or any other costly enterprise. The
first thing to be done is to organize
the company, by procuring fifty
thousand dollars Of subscription to
its stock, and the election of n
President and board of directors.
Immediately following this the
RIGHT OF way must be secured. Not
one foot of progress can or will be
made until this is secured. With
no money on hand, of course the
right of way cannot be paid fer,
except in the advantage the road
will confer upon the landowners.
If landowners do not wish the
road they will not give the right
of way. If they do wish their
land made valuable and its products
marketable they will give it If
they get the road they will have to
be liberal in the matter.
The right of way once secured,
and enough Of money procured to
pay the transportation of the corr
victs from Richmond, and to furnish
them with tools, it need not be
thirty days until they will be at
work. The road will then be rap,
idly graded to Estillville and be.

Gov. Hampton at Charlotte, n. e
He Expresses Confidence in
President Hayes.

CHARLOTTE, N, c., April Gov.
Hampton reached here last night and
made a speech, in which he said" /
have the greatest confidence in the
President, and believe him to be sin
cere. honest, and determined to dis
charge the duties OF his office under
the Constitution as an Executive of
this entire great nation" The Cover
nor concluded by remarking that but
for the votes of the honest colOred peo-
pie Of South Carolina he would not
now be her Governor, and, having
pledged himself to secure to the colored
man all his rights and privileges un-
der the constitution and laws of the
state, he was going to see it done, so
help him God.

CERTAIN parties have suggested to
us that there is silly impression en-
tertained in some quarters that Gen.
Malone seeks or desires the Presiden.
cy Of the Bristol Coal & Iron N. G.
r. r. For the benefit of such we de-
sire to say that a more utterly ground.
less and wholly baseless apprehension
never haunted mortal brain. Gen.
Malone does not seek and would not
accept any position whatever in the
propo ed company, and is not likely
in his life time to desire any connec-
ton whatever with it. We think we
can say that he now regrets and has
always regretted that he could not
build the Cumberland Gap road and
he very naturally sympathises with
this effort to build the N G. Road
He will give us any aid he can and we
are very glad of the benefit of his adj
vice and experience. Be easy. This
is all of it.

WADE HAMPTON.
SPONTANEOUS OVATION AND A BRIL-
LIANT SPEECH.

LIANT SPEECH.
Gov. Hampton spoke as followa -
FeLtotO- Citizens Of Virginia: l thank
you sincerely for this demonstration
of your sympathy with South Carroll
ma and her cause. For long, weary
years she has been down-trodden and
oppressed, but now we have the cheer
ing assurance that the success of free
government is secured, and that the
will of the people is at last to be re.
spected.
At the solicitation of the President
l went to Washington, but not for the
purpose OF Offering or accepting any
compromise, because the sovereign
people of South Caro- ina had already
acted. and there was no legitimate APP.
peal from their decision. | went be-
fore the President as e Democrat.
cherishing the principles and tradi-
tons of that honOred party, and
must say for him that he did not ask
my people to humilia e themselves by
offering or accepting any terms OF
compromise. We ask nothing but
our rights, and resolved to accept
nothing less.
Not only is this true, but we have
strong hopes that the dark clouds
which have 50 long hung, like fune.
raj pail, over poor Louisiana will soon
disappear, and that, while South Caro-
lima will be the equal of New York,
Louisiana will be the peer of Ohio.
Governor Hampton is a splendid
specimen of man, and has one of the
most intellectual faces we ever saw.
His Voice is rich, deep, aud musical;
his language faultless. and his manner
that of a thoroughly cultivated gentle
man. He speaks as easily as he
breathes, and cannot fail to impress
the most casual observer with his won
derful personal magnetism and superb
GRITTY. 1t is no wonder that he is the
idol of the people of South Carolina.

is that Senator Smith, of Nelson,
after moving in the Senate to in
crease the salary of members from
$40 to S72O now attempts to de-
fend himself by saying he did it
I" jest for fun" He also says the
House wished the Senate TO defeat
the bill. II that be SO the House
had reason for it, as the Senate last
year did defeat a similar bill which
the House had passed. Again, the
House passed recently the reappor-
tionment bill and the Senate de-
feated it, Did it defeat reappor-
tionment "jest for fun"

For restoring Gray Hair to
It's natural Vitality and Color.

With the gloss and freshness Of youth.
Thin hair is thickened, falling hair
checked, and badness often, though
not always, cured by its use. Moth
ing can restore the hair where the
follicles are destroyed, or the glands
atrOphied and decayed. But such as
remain can be saved for usefulness
by this application. Instead of foul
ing the hair with pasty sediment, it
will keep it clean and vigorous. It's
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. Free
from those deleterious substances
which make some preparations dan
gerous, and injurious to the hair, the
Vigor can only benefit but not harm
it. If wanted merely for q
