now State Commissioner of Insurance
and Statistics in Texas. Judge King is
IA fine scholar, and man of high lnteg-
| rity, and will strive to restore the rep
utatiOn which once attached to the Su-
preme Court of Louisiana. Few who
| know him believe that he can be biased
by political influences in the discharge
of his high functions.
Our extracts tell who Judge King is
better than we can. As a scholar, lawyer,
speaker-we may say Orator-and gen
tleman, he has always stood high. In
personal relations he is true friend,
and safe adviser. We have known
him for a good many years, and for
several of them rather intimately, and
we never knew him to speak harshly
or even disparagingly of any one, not
even of his enemies. Their good traits
he would mention, and pass over their
opposite ones in silence. Demagogue-
ism is entirely foreign to his nature !;
and this may be the chief reason why
he has never received that political
preferment which his merits deserved.
If the wing party had remained in the
ascendeucy, he would have been one Of
the first men in the land.
We are glad of Judge Kings appoint
ment for several reasons: 1t is a recog-
milton of the liberal, conservative native
element of the South, by the general
government; and the. recipient though
he has made much money by his pro-
fession, has never accumulated any
the Office therefore will benefit him
pecuniarny more than it would one
of greater means. AS to his com
potency to fill the position, it may be said
there is no position in the United States
that he is not competent to fill. Lastly,
Judge King is temperate man in all
things, and entirely free from the COM
mon street vices of the day. While he
is entirely free from all religious cant,
and liberal. towards all religious sects,
no one obserses the proprieties of de-
cent life more Alan he does. Drinking,
gambling, betting, OF even frequenting
MISUNDERSTANDING condemned by
very pious people-;sEe things that he
does not indulge in. The President
could not have selected p better sub
ect for a good office, and we are glad |

dispatch to e.se New York Herald.
CHARLEsPoN, SIG, April 19.-To-day
Gov. Hampton held u public reception at
the City Hall, upon tfl. invitation Of the
mayor, and was visited3}Ay hundreds of
colOred Republicans amO!sg whom were
nearly all the prominent LEADERS of the
county. During the receptirt9, the gov
/ ernor, in response to a call H$rOm the
cOlOred citizens, addressed tisSm as
| follows:
| Ny FRIENDS OF CHARLEsTON-It G&es
| me great pleasure to meet yOu, and pSssss:-
ticularly so TO meet SO many of the cOfA
| Ored citizens of Charleston on this Oc-
casion. |. want you particularly, not
only here but throughout the whole
State, to understand precisely the con-
dition of affairs and the policy | rep
| resented in the late election. / know
that it is very natural for you to sup
| pose, having been misled in so MANY
instances, that although man who is a
candidate for office may make promises,
you cannot know what will be the re-
suit OF those pledges until you see how
the policy has been carried out. All
that have to say to you nOw-and |
say it when victory has crowned our
efforts--is that ! stand now precisely
where / stood twelve years ago. | was
the first man Enthusiastically the
first in the South-who advocated the
granting of the right to vote to the col
ored man. [Applause.l That is on re-
cord. Only few days ago | saw in the
New York Tribune a statement made by
its editor, Whitelaw Reid, that in 1866
told him that the Northern Republicans
would want to take away the right of
Il Ion h,c
fore the South ever would.
During the late canvass | made pre-
diction that the cOlOred people would
very soon find that the only protection
they had for their elective franchise
would be from the white men of the
South. You will live to see it.
| want to tell you an incident which
has happened since my election. When
was in Washington recently, five or
sixror more nraminent Republicans, men
in high position, actually consulted me
as to how the vote of the colored man
could best be restricted. tell you what
is true. My answer was:
We don't want the vote of the col
ored man taken away or restricted, for,
aside from the friendship we bear this
race, their right to vote gives us thirty
more votes in Congress, and when peace
comes we are satisfied that the best
men in both races and parties will vote
together for the commonwealth. We
don't want to take that right away.h
[Great applause.l stand precisely in
the position that | took twelve years
ago. want to see the eolored people
educated, and I renew here the pledges
that I have heretofore made that we
will give the colored people better
facilities for education than they have
heretofore enjoyed. [Applause.l shall
use ali my influence to see to it that the
means of education are placed within
the reach of every citizen of South Car
