But one Governor.

Tho following charge was delivered
by Judge Cooke, TO tho Grand Jury
OF Greenviile County, at the opening
of Court for that County last week.
| We clip it from the Greenville News:
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury:
Sitting here as do, for the purpose
OF administering justice-knowing no
one-I have tried, and l believe with
some success, to avoid even the ap.
pearance of political partisan. And
l can but regret that from seuse of
duty, l am constrained to alludo to
the anomalous condition of the gov
ernment in South Carolina. Howev-
Or the existence of the necessity, is
sufficient plea for seemingly adven,
ture upon the sea of politics on this
occasion.
Z To-day we have in the State of
South Carolina two persons, General
Wade Hampton and Ex-Governor
Chamberlain, claiming to be the Gov
ernor. The Constitution does not
provide for two Governors at the
same time. One of these is Governor,
and the other pretender, or neither
is Governor. The Court upon one oc
casion, at least, if not oftner, has been
called upon TO decide upon the title Of
| these two contestants for the office of
Govcrnor-and has rendered it's iudg.
ment in the premises, sustaining the
title of General Wade Hampton as
Governor of the State Of South Caro-
lima, who was duly installed in said
office on tho 14th day of December,
A. D. 1876, on which said day ex.Gov.
ernor Chamberlain ceased to be tho
Governor of said State, And the
Judgment of the Court rendered here
tofore, as stated, will be enforced ia
the county of Greenville, and through.
ont the 9Th judicial Circuit, until re-
versed by n Court of last resort. And
desire to 60 further, and say that nc
recognition of his Excellency by the
President of these Uunited States, car
alter the Judgment of tho Court. It
a subject with which neither his Ex,
cellency or the Congress Of the United
States, has anything to do, except tc
csase to interfere with the govern
mont of the State by military force.
The Court, therefore, with view
Of preventing conflict of Authority
or Jurisdiction, desires to impress upor
your body the necessity of presenting
all persons in your county, claiming
the right to exercise or perform The
duties Of any Office, as an appoiptee O

The Right Men in the Right Place

L
The following from the Columbiu
Register, on an editorial which recent
ly appeared in the NewsAand Couror
80 fully accord with our own views
and sentiments that We transfer i,
entire to our columns:
The News and Courier, of Monday
sneeringly criticiaos and sharply con~
sures Judge Mackey and ex-Govornor
Scott for having presumed to go to
Washington as "self-constituted re-
presentatives of the reform admins,
ira IN of the State" 1t represents
Carolinians at Washington as open
ing their eyes very wide, and Carroll
mans at h ONO as both surprised and
checked at the great indccency. 1t
charges upon the Iuckless envoys tho
offense of "sublime impudence not
unworthy Of the worst days of robber
rule in Columbia"
Our Charleston contemporary is
mistaken in the promises of both it's
conclusions. The committee charged
by Governor Hampton to proceed to
Washington and lay his lettor and the
South Carolina case before Mr.. Hayes
consisted of General Kershaw, Judge
Mackey, Ex-Governor Scott and Col.
Rion. Judge Maekey and ex-Gov.
Scott were not self-appointed or self
constituted any moro than the other
two members of tho committee. They
were asked to serve on tho committee
as representative men, rcprese tativet
CT the Republican party in its support
and alliance with the reform admin.
istration. Their authority thus tc
act, thus shown, was no more incon.
testable than the fitness of their Sc
lection. They warmly supported the
reform ticket, and for many. months
have given earnest efforts and valua.
BILE assistance in having the State re-
form government established anc
recognized. Ex-Goyernor Scott has
worked quietly and Judge Mackey
has labored in season and out of sea
son in this behalf, and both accepta-
bly, and effectively. In connection
with present issues and their presen-
tation at Washington or elsewhere, i,
is not pertinent TO consider what DO
IiGics they may have professed, Of
what course they pursued on othe,
occasions. In the campaign We wer,

NASAh sho AsoAoi8H NeWGl
In one of the hotly contested fights
in Virginia, during the war, Federal
officer fell in front Of the Confedersts
breastworks. While lying there, woun-
ded and crying for water, a Confederate
soldier flames Moore, of Burkes Coun-
[ty, N C., declared his intention of sup.
plying him with drink. The, bullets
were flying thick from both sides, and
Moore's friends endeayored, to dissuade
him from such hazardous. enterprise.
Despite remonstrance and danger, how
ever, Moore leaped the breast works,
canteen in hand, reached his wounded
enemy and gave him drink. The Fed.
eral, under sense of gratitude for the
timely service, took out his gold watch
and offered it to his benefactor. but It
was refused. The officer then asked the
name of the man who had braved such
danger to succor him. The name was
given, and Moore returned unhurt to
his position behind the embankmeht.-
They saw nothing more of cath other.
Moore was subsequently, wounded, and
lost limb in one of the engagements
in Virginia, and returned to bis home In
Burke County. A few days ago he re.
ceived communication from the Fed.
eral soldier to whom he had given the
soup of cold water" on the occasion al
luded to, announcing that he had set
tied on him the sum of $4,000, to be
paid in four annual install thenls of e.
500 each. Investigation has established
the fact that there is no mistake or de-.
ception in the matter.
