How different all this from the
case of Chamberlain! As he went
to Washington the slow finger of
scorn was pointed at him. When
he arrived at Washington he hurried
to the White House, accompanied by
Corbin and Patterson-a trinity of
scoundrelism, reminding me of those
words il the Episcopal prayer book:
"Ihe world, the flesh and the devil"
THE leading idea of President
Hayes administration will be pacifi-
cation of the sections; reconciliation
and traternal feeling between the
North andathe South. As an illus
tration of this, when President Hayes
nominated Fred. Douglass, the ablest
colored man in the United States,
tor the office of Marshal of the Dis
trict Of Columbia, the nomination
was strongly opposed by Northern
Senators, Democrats and Republi-
cans. But six Southern Senators.
under the lead of General John L.
Morgan, voted for his confirmation,
and he was confirmed. Southern
Democrats, residents of Washington,
were his bondsmen. In an interview
with Fred. Douglass, he said that he
had watched, with intense interest,
the fortunes of his race, and he was
rejoiced that Wade Hampton will
rule over South Carolina, for he will
rule in justice and wisdom. This
is common sentiment in the North.
President Hayes earnestly desires
that the s'rong hand of power shall
be lifted from our people. There
are two unhappy classes in this
country, viz: Northern Democr ats
and Radical Republicans. These
last fear that they will lose their
grip on the pockets of the Southern
PEOPLE; and the former fear that Pre-.
sident Hayes generous policy will
divide the Democracy of the South.
Governor Hampton will desire that
meetings be held in this State to ex-
press the gratitude Of the people to
tile President for lis pacific course.
President Hayes will doubtless ask
Governor Hampton and Gen. Cor
don to give him the names Of suita-
BILE persons for the Offices of District
Marshal, Collector of Revenue, and
District Attorney in Georgia and
South Carolina. .o. ...
1t would be we'll for us to year q

of both races and polical parties.

Judge Mackey's Return-He Addresses
the People.
Judge Mackey arrived at his home
in Chester, on Monday night at 10
o'clock. He was ct once requested
to address the people on his visit to
Washington ard give his views of
the outlook for South Carolina. On
Tuesday, at 10 o'clock, a 'arge num-
Der of the citizens assembled at the
Court House. Captain j. l.. Agurs
was called to che chair. Judge
Mackey was introduced and spoke
substantially as follows:
81 presume that 1 am called upon
by my fellow citizens in the same
spirit as was customary in the late
war, when the fate Of our people was
trembling in the balance; then the
people greeted with welcome those
who came from the front, that they
may inquire of them whether our
flag was waving or falling. I am
happy to be able to say to you that
bring good news. l am authorized
by the President Of the United States
to cay TO You that in two or three
days more, at farthest, the United
States soldiers who, for months, have
sustained usurped authority in South
Carolina, will march out Of the State
House, and that civil authority, adj
ministered by Gov. Wade Hampton,
will prevail throughout the State
The order for the removal of the
troops has been prepared, but it's enc
forcement is delayed until Governor
Hamptun's arrival at Columbia. This
delay is made that the public peace
may not be threatened, and that
Chamberlain may transfer tho books
and records OF the Office to Governor
Hampton. ...' ..''.
Chamberlain will go as United
States Minister to Sweden. He de-
sired to go to Italy, but is 10 be sent
to Sweden, in order, I presume, that
that the severe cold of that region
may operate as a disinfectant to his
corrupt nature. ,...
The removal of the troops, and
the consequent establishment of the
authority Of Wade Hampton as the
undisputed Governor of South Caro-
lima, was not reached without long
conflict. Chamberlain drew around
him such men as Morton and Blaine,
who persistently declared to the Pre-
sident that, with Hampton as Gov
ernor of Sotth Carolina, a reign of
terror and blood would at onee be-
gin; that Republicans would be mur
dered or be driven from the State.
These false assertions we're met by
an assurance that under Wade Hamp
ton just laws will be enacted and
enforced. Hampton had declared
that under Ills rule the humblest
negro should be as safe as the high.
est white man; that educational IA
cilities should be afforded to all,
white and black.
Before Hampton went to Wash
ington, tho President and Cabinet
had decided that he was Governor.
When he arrived, at the hour of Q
o'clock In the morning, men aud wo"
men crowded the immense depot to
receive him. At 4 O'clock OH that
morning, he wrote to President Hayes

they expected to do, but thus far the consent Of
the Commodore's family has been withheld. His
wife and children think that the diseases from
which the dead man suffered are by no means un-

sanction an examination. The funeral services
are positively fixed for 1890 o'clock next Sunday
morning. and no change will be made in that fea-
ture of the arrangements which exclude the pres
ence Of pall-bearers and flowers. The family Of
the late Commodore are resolved that the last
tributes paid to his body shall be unmixed with
pomp and characterized by stern and serious
simplicity, and the solemn exercises in the
Church Of Strangers will be in keeping with this
resolution His remains will be inferred on Staten

The efforts which have been made for the eI-
tension of the prerogative of mercy to the pris-

death for the murder Of girl named Rolfe, hav-
ing proved futile, the extreme punishment allowed
by law was carried out this morning in the county
Jail. When I arrived at the jail at 7:30 o'clock
preparations were being made for carrying out
the sentence, two men being occupied In digging
q grave in the shrubbery where the prisoner was
to be buried, and in making q hole beneath the
sea fold to allow for the drop. Marwood was ad
Justing the fatal rope. and in reply to question
which put to him, he said IL was new one, and
had only been used once before. By o'clock all
was ready, and the bell began to toll. The chap
lain then came out from the prison solemnly
reading aloud the burial service. He was fol-
lowed by the culprit and some of the prison off,
cials The prisoner breathed heavily as he as
cended the scafold, and had to be assisted by the
officials. His legs were then piniOned by Mar
wood, and a white linen cap drawn over his face.
The rope was then placed around the culprit's
neck. The chaplain slowly continued reading
the burial service, and when he came to the
repeated them slowly, and Immediately after:
ward the bolt was drawn, and the culprit dropped
into the pit which had been dug for him. The
drop was six feet ten inches, and in falling the
prisoners neck was broken, presenting an awful
sight to the spectators. The cap came off the
face, and rendered the scene still more CHASTITY.
The criminal did not, however, suffer much as
hung the usual time he was cut down, aud an in
quest held. He was afterwsrd buried in the
shrubbery. Browning made full confession, in
which he admitted his guilt.

In view of the acknowledged truth of this SEN

now agitating every household in the District Of
Columbia. We refer to the question whether the
1900 children now in our public schools are to be

funds TO pay the teachers. This must be the
humiliatipg result unless means are speedily
taken TO avert 1t. May we not hope that there
are some public-spirited individuals in ou-com-
munity who are not "more occupied with social,
political, or financial affairs than with the proper
care and training Of their children" and that
they will at once devise measures to prevent the
closing of our public schools at a most important

Chess, but no Cards.
To the Editor of the National Republican:
SIR: In THE REPUBLICAN of this morning is
an article signedI "Prentiss' in vindication of

against 1t in the late meeting at Lincoln Hall
Now how airy one one can openly argue in fay or
of so vulgar, puerile, trickish and soul-shrivelng
a pastime (rather kill time) is a mystery. Is 1t
wrong to assert that Christian, not to say per-
son Of superior intellectual resources, will touch
"the DEVILS picture-book?'' Some centuries
since cards were invented for the amusement of
an insane idotic king, and soon became the
tools of the cunning and dissolute. 1t is specious
and unjust in "Prentiss' to rank with the games
of the sharper and imbeciie the noble game of
chess, which, being purely mathematical, leaves
nothing to chance. The game of checkers also is
dependent on skill and thought The writer
heard Bishop Pinckney class together as the
twin-lurers to destruction that hot house Of vice.
"the theatre and the gambling house" And
card-playing is gam bling, whether practtced by
the idle dame who deals out the dainty bits of
pasteboard, by the members of the social circle
who thus squander the precious hours which
should be coHsecrated to mutual edi1cation, or
by the sharper who, in the secrecy Of his squllid
den, shufhes his greasy pack. Leaving religion
out Of the question. there is something degrading
In being a card-shuffier-a greedster for petty
winnings-dead to the charms Of noble culture
and converse. Therefore, good luck to all efforts
to purify society and clear The Church of the re-

tians who are In especial danger. 1t is incumbent
on all Christians not only to personally renounce
