Chamberlain's Address to the RepubH-
cans of South Carolina.

10 tHe ILepuOHc0flS oj OOutH CdTOlln0:
BY your will l was made Govern.
or OF this State in 1874. At the el-
election on the 7th of November last
I was again, by your votes, elected
to to the same Office. My title to the
Office, upon every legal and moral
ground, is to day clear and perfect.
BY the recent decision and action of
the President of the United States, l
find myself unable longer to maintain
my oficia! rights with the prospect
Of final success, and I hereby an
nonnce to you that am unwilling to
prolong q struggle witch can only
bring further suffering upon those
who engage in it.
LII announcing this conclusion, it is
my duty to say for you that the Re
Vublcans of Sonuth Carolina entered
npop5thCir recent political struggle
for the maintenance OF their political
and civil rights. Constituting, beyond
question, a large majority of the law
tul voters Of the State, you allied
yourself with that political party
whose central and inspiring principle
has hitherto been the civil and po-
litical freedom of all men under the
constitution and laws of our country.
By heroic efforts and sacrifices which
the just verdict Of history will rescue
from the cowardly scorn now cast
upon them by political placemen and
traders, you secured the electoral
vote of South Carolina for Hayes and
Wheeler. In accomplishing this re,
suit you became the victims of every
form of persecution and injury
From authentic evidence it is shown
that not less than one hundred Of
your number were murdered because
they were faithful to thir principles and
exercised rights solemnly guaranteed
to them by the nation. You were
denied employment, driven from
your homes, robbed of the earnings
Of years OF honest industry, hunted
tor your lives like Wild beasts: vour
families outraged and scattered, for
no Offense except your peaceful
and firm determination to exercise
your political rights. You trusted
as you had right to trust, that if by
snch efforts yon established the laws
tul supremacy of your political party
in the nation, the government of the
United States, in the discharge of it's
constitutional duty, would protect
theilawfnl government OF. the State
from overthrow at the hands of your
political enemies. From causes pat-
ent to all men and questioned by
none who regard truth, you have
been unable to overcome the unlaw-
full combinations and obstacles which
have opposed the practical suprema.
cy OF the government which yonr
votes have established. For manv
weary months you have waited for
your deliverance. While the long
struggle for the Presidency was in
progress you were exborted by every
representative and organ of the na-

Governor South Carolina.
South Carolina's ::Friend-The New
York Herald

The citizens of Columbia did a
graceful and becoming act in present.
ing to Mr.. Eccles Cu.bbert, the COR
respondent of the New York Herald,
a handsome gold watch, as an evil
dence of their recognition of the cans
dor, impartiality and ability with
which he has chronicled events at
the State Capital, since the nomina-
ton of Hampton last autumn. Now
that the political redemption of South
Carolina is accomplished, Mr.. CutL~
bert returns 10 his old headquarters
at Richmond, bearing with him the
good will and wishes of thousands to
whom he is personally unknown, but
who realize acu'ely how much South
Carolina owes to him and to the great
newspaper of which he is repre-,
sentative.
The success which has attended
South Carolina in her struggle for
deliverance is due, in large measure,
to the support given her, and the aid
rendered her, by few journals in
the North. Their words reached ears
which were closed to the appeals of
Southern speakers, and found read
crs where southern newspapers are
rarely seen. Foremost, staunchest
and most influential among such
journals was the New York Herald.
Month after month, without waver-
ing or hesitation, the Herald pleaded
the cause of good government in
South Carolina, mingling its appeals
for justice with wise counsel and
cheering words to the agonized peo
pie of the State. For once, the heart
of the mighty journal seemed touch
ed, and, in behalf of South Carolina,
every resource of rhetoric, sarcasm
and and invectve was exhausted
The whole value, to South Carolina,
Of the Herald's daily work may never
be known, but enough is known to
command for the Herald the respect,
confidence and gratitude of q re
deemed people. And if aught were
wanting to fill to overflow the cup of
orr thankfulness it is found in the
tact that the Herald is toiling for
Louisiana, our suffering sister, as it
labored for South Carolina, and will
not turE aside until, in the Gulf, a
victory is won as brilliant as that
which perched on our standard in the
once PROSTATE Stato.-Charleston

I A week passed away since Mabel
overheard the above conversation,
and during that time she avoided
Herbert Guerney as much as posi-
bic. Perhaps it was because she
tried to avoid him that he sought
after her society.
A desire to speak to him in her
old familiar way came over her as
she stood in the window and watched
him lying at full length upon the
grass in the shade of the trees. ....
The desire grew so strong upon
her that she passed out of tho house,

Ellis and his friend, Herbert Guer-
ney, as they strolled away across the
lawn, smoking their cigars.
Every time he comes here I am
more and more attracted towards
him. said Mabel to herself.
She was speaking of Herbert.
Il believe there 81, some truth in
the saying that man possessing a
spirit du diable is always very at
tractive in a woman's eyes not that
Herbert is exactly diabolical. No,
not diabo!ical, but cynical, sceptical,
his very little faith, if any, in the sex.
Yet when he was on a visit here be-
tore, more than once 1 thought l
saw his cynicism giving away. Per-
haps it was imagination. Was it
imagination on my part this MORN
ing, when he met me after his arri-
val, and taking my hand in his, his
eyes said:
Il wish I could trust you2 Bah! l
am growing egotistical. AS if Herb

would think of trusting a faulty creao

Her cousin and Herbert had dis
appeared from view, and Mabel
leaned against the door and thought
how happy she.would be if Herbert
could trust her. The sound of voices
coming from behind the summer
house, startled her. 1t was her cousin
and his friend returning in another
direction. She was in no frame of
mind to meet Herbert just now, and
hoping that they would pass on, she
stepped back into the summer house.

Mabel crouched down in the corn

done wrong in remaining to hear
what Herbert had to say about her
sex; but she was not sorry. She
would hear it out now.
Il guess you were once in love, and
some Wealthy fellow got the inside
track of you,' said Ellis.
'You needn't guess anything about
it, Ellis; such was my case for a fact.
Six years ago I was an office drudge,
