A New York special to the CDcin-

An alliance has been made betweer

Wade Hampton's Progress.
From the New York Tribune.

The journey of Wade Hampton to
Washington would have been some-
thing like royal progress in that GAL
liant officer had not been betrayed 50
often by his fatal facility for making
tom for kings and emperors and other
m0narchs of that sort to address their
fellow citizens from the rear platform
of q rail way car, while q band Of mu-
sic waits with cheeks all distended to
burst into harmony as soon as they
have flushed. In other respects, Row.
ever, Gov. Hampton seems to have
travelled quite in the character of q
potentate. The telegraph flsshed de.
tailed reports of the running of, the
train, and the whole continent, from
Maine to Alaska, received the most
minute Information respecting every
stage of the journey. We were warn
ed when he left Columbia, when he
halted at Richmond, when he passed
thrOugh Timmonsville and Magnolia;
and at every stop we heard of the
crowds who came forth to wave hand
kerchiefs and play music, the deputa
ton which made addresses, and all the
multifarious demonstrations whereby
the local population testified Its exu.
berant loyalty. 1t is in this way that
the business is done when Queen Vic.
ioria makes trip from Balmoral to
Windsor.
And it must be admitted that Gov.
Hampton put on q good deal of person
al style too. He approached the Pres
ident with the air Of one sovereign
paying a not altogether friendly visit
to another. He assured his pt ople all
along the road that he had no favors to
ask Of President Hayes. He asked no
recognition" from the United States
Government; all the recognition he
needed or desired he claimed from the
votes of the people of South Carolina,
and he thought il would be base SAC. |
rifice of his independence to seek the
OF any exterior power like that
n Washington. He visited the banks
,f the Potomac merely In courteous re
'ponse to courteous invitation; but
south Carolina need not be afraid that
he would allow himself to he put upon
Ifter he got there, or would condescend
o request anything from Mr.. Hayes
xcept the immediate evacuation Of the
State House. There was
ven some little premonitory symptom d
{ a diplomatic bother about the eti- I
uette of the 6rst call. We are rather q
