Home Rule for South Carolina.

Governor Hampton arrived in Washing
ton last Thursday, and left on Monday night,
after having secured the pledge of President
Hayes that the troops should be removed
from the State House Governor Hampton
on his journey to Washington and during his
stay there received the most marked and
courteous attentions from Democrats and
Republicans alike, but he very sensibly de.
clined all public demonstrations.
A number of Efforts were made to soften
the fall of Chamberlain, by compromise, in
which something was to be preserved TO the
Republicans in South Carolina. But Gen.
Hampton took dgniied, resolute and wise
stand, and refused to sign any agreement
whatever. He came there rs the lawfully
chosen Governor of South Carolina, and
simply asked that the troops be removed
from the State House. At the same time he
gave the President the most solemn assur-
ances that the Constitution as it is would be
rigidly adhered to, and that there should be
equality before Tie law for men of every
color
Accordingly President Hayes and his
Cabinet decided 10 remove the troops uncon.
diticnally, on the 10th of April. Chamber
lain, it is believed, will make no resistance.
and accepts the result as crushing defeat
Hampton will enter the State House as Gov
enor, with Democratic Senate, a Demo
cratic House and Democratic Judiciary
South Carolina will send to Congress Dem
ocratic Senator and four out of five Demo
cratic representatives in the lower House.
The JOY OF the people is boundess, and
preparations are being made for going to
work earnestly and vigorously to restore the
shattered fortunes of the State. Under the
wise and liberal policy which will be inaugur.
ated by Governor Hampton, the waste places
OF the Palmetto State will soon be made to
blossom as the rose. The endurance and
patience which her people have shown are
worthy of all praise, and we have no fears
that in the day of prosperity they will forget
to he mercfu

LoUIsIANA.-The withdrawal of the
United States troops from the support of the
pretcnder Chamberlain, in South Carolina,
leaves only Louisiana, of all the States, in
which the civil power is subordinate to
military rule. We earnestly hope President
Hayes may pursue the same course in regard
to Louisiana, as in South Carolina, and with
draw the troops from the State House, in
order that the legal State government may
peaceably assume all its powers. The Phil
adelphia Times thinks he will do so. Its
editor, writing from Washington says:
"While ! have no authority to speak for
the administration or for any of its members
| feel safe in saying that South Carolina is
intended to foreshadow the solution of the
Louisiana dispute, and that it will be settled
TO the satisfaction of the whole country, ex-
cepting only few revolutionary and now
impotent politicians, within the next three
weeks. Just how it will be settled is moi
known TO any one but that tile tr0ops qciu be
aetthdrdacn from tile support cf Packard in
tie capitol, l regard as in no sense d0ubtfuL-
The Louisiana Commission will be n unit on
that point, and the President will not hesitate
to take the RESP onshility upon himself when
he believes that the fulness of time has been
reached for the restoration of the whole
country to the supremacy of the civil author.

The story of the escape of Boss Tweed
to Spain, as told by himself, in Harper's Week
ly, is extremely romantic. He escaped on
the 4th of December, 1875, and remained for
three months in sight of the smoke of New
York, and then went to Florida, afterwards
to Cuba, and then TO Spain, where lie was
captured. Tweed travelled in disguise UNI
der the assumed name of John Secor. His
escape was concocted and carried out by
a gang of burglars, one of whom was in
prison.wi him. The Boss has also written
letter to Charles O'Conor in which he offers
to make all the restitution in his power to the
State of New York, by suuendering the large
amount OF stolen property in his hands 10 the
public.

Pure and unselfish patriotism is rare
article nowadays, F. G. Humphreys, one
of the Hayes electors in Florida, having lost
his situation as express agent in consequence
of his excessive zeal in politics, ambled to
Washington to beg for a situation from
Hayes. His claims were duly considered,
and ON Tuesday the President appointed him
collector at Pensacola, at salary of $4,000
year. This, it is supposed, will enable him
to endure the severe strain his conscience
must have sustained, in casting his vote fol
Hayes, against the wishes of majority OF
the PEOPLE of Florida. Only one of the
Florida Republican electors remains to be
taken care Of but as he is colored man, it

The Louisiana Commission left for New
Orleans Tuesday morning. What they pro-
pose to accomplish is not known, but if Gov.
Nichols possesses as much nerve as Hamp-
ton displayed, the people of Louisiana will
be peaceably restored to all their rights in 4
very short time. Leading Republicans, it is
stated, are not very sanguine in regard to a

much depressed, and the people of Louisiana
correspondingly elated at the prospect of a
