Important Political Decision.
CHARLESTON, March 20.
Judge Reed, in the Circuit Court to-
day, rendered a decision in the habeas
corpus case, releasing Flynn on the
ground that Chamberlain has not au.
thoriry as Governor. The decision
concludes as follows: ~ am OF The
opinion that Wade Hampton was made
Governor of the State of South Caro-.
lima through the ballot box in accord
ance with a constitutional election
held on the 7th OF November last: that
he qualified, II not in following the
letter, in the spirit and intent of the
CONSTITUTE III IN the l4th OF December
last; that he has since that tins and is
the lawful Governor of South
Carolina and should be obeyed ac
cordingly. 1t follows from these
views that ID. III. Chamberlain was not
Governor on the Sd of January, 1877,
the date of the com mission of w. G..
Dover as a Trial Justice for the city of
Charleston, and that his appointment
and commission were without lawful
authority and therefore void.
