Ex- Governor Scott Favors the Rec
ognltion of Wade Hampton to
Secure Peace and Prosperity.

The following letter we find in the Ma
tional Republican ofthe 18th. ltcxplallls
itself:
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 10, 1877:
To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SlR-My attention has been directed to
articles in the press placing me IN the
position whereby it may be inferred that
I sanction criticisms made upon proml-
nent Republicans at home. l desire 20
state that roy recent call upon the Presl-
dent, in company with other Sou caro-
lima gentlemen, had no reference 10 the
private character or public acts OF any
Republican in that State, but was lmpeil-
ed by the hope that something could be
done to settle the vcxed question Of our
dual governments !; nor did l have a
thought of acting in the premises until a
majority of the Circuit judges had deci-
ded in favor of General Hampton's claim
and all of the Supreme Judges had yea
me to infer that they would decide by
having frequently declared that he was
elected Governor ; indeed, there was no
apparent remedy for alleged frauds that
we're charged in the election, as 1t had
passed beyond the power of the politi,
clans, and had become purely a judicial
question.
l was satisfied that the p~rolongation OF
the contest against the inevitable result
would be to bring financial ruiz uponthe
whole State, and as a Republican, no man
in South Carolina was more anxious Tor
the success of Republican principles than
myself, and yet I am not willing 10 sac
rifice everything in an experiment that
must result disastrously. II the past
has met with reverscs there, it would
hardly be Unsuitable, I apprehend, to sac
ritice the material interests of o CT mmon-
wealth in the vain effort to retrieve what
was lost in q campaign that cannot be re-
called. The Chief Justice Of the State
having recently deceased, it may be re-
earded doubtful as to what his decision
would have been, but by every fair deduc-
ton we have the right to assume that
when he made his requisition upon Gen.
eral Hampton for his salary, which he ac-
cepted on the order of his Treasurer,
countersigned by Wade Hampton as Gov
ernor, he intended to recognize him as
Governor Of the State.
I may add that Associate Justices Will
lard and Wright also drew their salaries
in like manner 1t Is only too obvious
that the decline of the Republican party
in the Southern States since 1870 has rem
dered it's extinction almost CERTAIN under
existing organizations, and whatever sue
cess has been attained in the past was, I'M
fortunately, achieved by many sacrifices
to those who were forced into the leader
ship. I fully appreciate the difficulties
encountered in the vexed question Of our
State, which presents itself ION the
threshold Of what bids fair to be- wise
and most beneficent administration OF
our national government. ~
Very respectfully, &C.,
ROBERT K..SCOTT.

Death Of an Excelleu. Young Man

Less than q year ago our friend Col.
F. A. Conner, of Cokesbury was call
ed to mourn the loss of a devoted wife
whom he had idoliZed from carly
manhood, and now the hand Of Provi-
dence again rests heavily upon him,
in the removal by death, on Saturday
evening, Of his eldest son Landon
F. Conner. After an absence of sew
eral years in the West, he returned to
the old homestead a few months ago,
only to die of consumption on his ma
tive heath.
The deceased was thirty-two years
old, and was of that class Of young
men whose education was very much
interrupted by the war. At the age Of
seventeen he left the Cokesbury
school, then taught by Root. w.
Boyd, Esq, and entered the army,
Joining the Holcomb Legion, COM
manded by Col. P. f. Stephens. He
was wounded in the thigh at the Sec
ond battle Of Manassas, and was una
BILE to walk for months, and in conse-
quence, he was discharged from
the army, when he entered the
Arsenal Academy at Columbia under
Col. Thomas. Here he had a bomb
proof position, but a. Don as he was
able 70 ride horse back, he left the
Academy, aud joined the cavalry, UNI
der the command of General Butler,
and remained in the field until the
close Of the war, distinguishing him.
self in the hardships of the campas we'll
rs OH the field of battle. He was of q
genial nature - high toned. brave,
hopeful and generous, and many OF
his old comrades will drop a tear at
the intelligence of his untimely end.
His frank and friendly manner, his
fine address and genial presence, coin
bined to give him that personal mag
netism which drew around him troops
of friends and hosts Of admirers.
Each day some pearl drops from
the jeweled shread of friendship;
some Tyre to which W have been
wont to listen, has been hushed forev-
err. But wise is he who mourns not
the peal and music lost, for life with
him shall pass away gently as al
eastern shadow"

TAKING HIM AT HIS WoRD.-New Or
leans, March 1.-THE Nichols Legisla'
ture to-day adopted the following:
Whereas, The inaugural address the o.
present Executive of the nation indicates
a fixed determination to restore harmony
to the people Of the South by establish
ing a policy Of pacification for n Of
coercion, and by recognizing the right OF
said people of the South to local self-gov-
eminent free from Federal inference
therefore, bel.
Resolved, That we accept this DECLARE
ton of the national executive of non-in-
tervention in the affairs of a State as a
happy augury for the future. as made in
good faith and the true spirit Of the con-
stitution, and that this General Assembly
will earnestly cooperate with President
Hayes in every effort to restore confidence
and fraternal relations among the whole
people of this great country ; and to this
end it pledges all the power and influ-
ence at its command to secure the great
object for which governments were in
stituted, viz, to guarantee protection to
the life, liberty and property Of every
human being within their jurisdiction.

CAUGHT WHILE FIGHTING H "TI-
GER."-Some of Chamberlain's friends
who are here pushing his cause with the
President got themselves into quite a
predicament after midnight on Saturday
by being among the participants In a
faro game at the "Club," one Of the most
notorious of Washington's gaming
houses. The police made a well-directed
descent, and captured among others,
what may be called South Carolina del
egation. There were ex-senator VIM. E.
Sawyer, who was the Assistant Secretary
Of the Treasury under Richardson, and
whom Bristow so unceremoniously dis
missed !; Judge Carpenter, the "iron
man" of South Carolina ; n Congress
man and two ex-Congressman from the
same State. The police were even harder
than usual on these distinguished cap
tives, for they were kept all night in the
station house. Washington Letter to the

Liverpool Cotton Circular.

LIVERPOOL, March 10.
The circular of the Liverpool Cotton
Brokers' Association, reviewing the trade
for the week ending last night, says: The
market was dull and unsettled through
out the week, with a limited demand,
which was very freely supplied. Quota
tons for most descriptions are materially
reduced. American has been much de-
pressed at irregular prices, and quota
lions are reduced a farthing. Sea islands
are without change and in only moderate
request. Futures were flat almost
throughout the week. Business was con-
siderable, but the pressure to sell caused
a decline of a farthing for the week.

How exquisitely absurd to tell girls
that beauty is. Of no ~value-dress OF no
use Beauty is of value. A girls whole
prospects and happiness in life may often
depend upon a new gowrfor q becoming
bonnet and, if she has five grains of
common sense, she will find this out.
The great thing is to teach her the just
value of dress, and that, for real happi-
ness, there must be something better UNI

never sacrifice truth.-London Times.

scheme for giving the plunderers Of
