SOUTH CAROLINA SAVED!

1t is only necessary for us to publish the
following to send a thrill Of joy through

WASHINGTON April 3.
SIR: Prior to my entering upon the du-
ties of the Presidency, there had been sta
toned, by orderSf my predecessor, in the
State House at Columbia, s. c., detach-
ment of United States infantry Finding
them in that place, have thought proper
to delay decision of the question of their
removal until could consider and deter
mine whether the condition of affairs in that
Stateis such as to either require or justify
the continued military occupation of the
State House. In my opinion, there does
not now exist in that State such domestic
violence as is contemplated by the consLitu-
ton as the ground upon which the military
power of the national government may be
invoked Tor the defence ofthc State. There
are, it is true, grave and serious disputes as
to the rights of certain claimants to the
chief executive Office of that State, but these
arc to be settled and determined not by the
Executive Of the United States, but by such
orderly and peaceablc means as may be pro-
vided by the constitution and laws of the
State. feel assured that no resort to vio-
lence is contemplated in any quarter, but
that, on the contrary, the disputes in qucs.
tion arc to be settled solely by such peaceful
remedies as the constitution and the.laws of
the State provide. Under these circum-
stances, in this confidence, deem it proper
to take action in accordance with the princi.
pies announced when l entered upon the
duties of the Presidency. You are, there.
fore, directed to see that the proper orders
are issued for the removal of said troops
from tho State House to their previous place

By Our neighbors of the Spartanburg
Herald arc like the railroads, they don't tote
fair. Why didn't you say plaiuly that the
Uuion merchants complain bitterly because
they have to pay more than twice as much
as the Spartanburg merchants for fright
from Charleston, over the Spartanburg and
Union road Why try to cover up that
fraud upon us by mentioning the discriui-
nation between this place and point upon
another road? Echo answers why?

Judge Northrop all Right.

The Republican publishes a. startlng inter
view with Hon. L. C.. N6rthrop, Circuit Judge
of the Seventh Circuit of South Carolina. Cap
tioning the interview, the Republican says:
1.-The Judge is q native born South Carolinian,
being n descendant of one Of the oldest families
in the State. When the late took place
Judge Northrop,his father and his brother all en-
listed on the Confederate side. Ills father and
brother were killed, aud lie survived, to after
wards become Republican and firm supporter
of Governor Chamberlain"
After paying high compliment TO the man
hood and integrity of Chamberlain. he proceeds
to describe the situation. The Democrats be-
lieve rs they do in their existence that Hampton
received over 200 majority Of the votes, and
is the lawfully elected Governor. They claim
that it has been decided in their favor by the
courts, and they would eagerly defend il by the
last dollar and the last life. l have never seen
such profound excitement and infiexiblc rcsolu-
tion as exists throughout ny section. 1t is in
every fibre Of the atmosphere, and must be felt
to be understood. 1t is of kind with the frenzy
that possessed the people of Paris in 1893 1t
hos been waiting like chained tiger on the first
movement of lIampton's finger or lips. If that
movement had been made, the whole army OF
the United States would have had business on
its hands" Further on he says: 81 am q
every inch Of me, and don't want to see the
State pass into the hands of the Democracy. but
l don't want to see 1t 60 to the devil, either"

Judge Nortff6p-Yes, sir; it would most un-
doubtedly, and with that peace would come am
pie protection to althe people alike, and property
would at onoc become enhanced in value full 25

lars. and the consumers are "kickiHg." This
is perfectly natural. and comes from lack of
patronage to the new company, the people of
Charlotte preferring, like all others, to hold up
an old and strong company against new enter
prise, and they have the result of it. We un-
derstand that many of the consumers Of gas

double the price demanded by the Centennial

The next Democratic candidate for the Pres-

didats one will doubt. During the last cam.

gentleman for fifty years.

TIE IIoNoRs PAID HAMPTON IN WAsHMGToS.
Washington, March 30.-Governor Hampton
was besieged with visitors to-day. Early in the
morning quite number Of gentlemen, friends
and admirers, congregated in the lobby Of the
hotel, all anxious TO get peep at him. He
kept closely in doors, however, and saw only q
few of his most intimate friends. The Demo
cratic Jackson Association were well represented.
Among the callers Rev. DR.. Elliott of the
Church Of the Ascension, who invited Governor
Hampton to attend Good Friday services ut his
church At two clock Governor Hampton, ac-
companicd by Senator Gordon and Hon. Mr..
IIartridge, Of Georgia, drove out for look at
the city.

PooR Mr.. HArEs.-Our correspondents at
Washington, whose letters we publish this morn
ing, treat with great severity the conduct Of
the Fraudulent President in going back
upon the promise of his inaugural address,
and in failing to respect the pledges given in his
behalf to the Southern representatives for the
purpose of securing the final declaration of his
election by Congress in compliance with the de-
oision Of the Electoral Commission.
While we print their observations as worthy
of serious consideration, we do not wish to 60
altogether the length they do of condemning
Mr.. Hayes as meaning from the first to delude
and betray the Southern men. His fault seems
to us to be weakness rather than deliberate de-
pravity. lie is kind hearted man, very fond
of appreciation. ue doesn't want to be dsa-
grceablc to anybody. He would like to make
the South happy and to have it support his Ad-
ministration and praise him; but he is not anx-
ious to offend Mr.. Morton or Mr.. Blaine. He
is not prepared to break with the leaders of the
Republican party aud, above all, he hates to
say positively before the country that Packard
who is Governor by just the same title as
Hayes Is President-is the creature of fraud
and never was elected at all. Thus, poor Mr.
Hayes is turned about, now in this direction and
now in that, changing his mind every day, o,
oftener, and doing ut last, not what hc meant &c
do when he began, but exactly the opposite
They have been talking about his new policy
but the truth is, he has no policy at all. lie i.
not his own man. lie does not control what ht
calls his Administration. He is powerles:
against the forces that produced his elevation
just rs any feeble, undecided, common place
character needs must be under such circumstan
ces.
No man who gets an Office rs Mr.. Hayes 60
this one, can be worth anything in it. Fraud
ulent President, even if he sets out with goo.
motives, is bound sooner or later to make him
self ridiculous and also dishonest.-N. y. Sun

WILLARD's HOTEL, WASHINGTON, March 20
To the President-SIR: In compliance with your
invitation, am here for the purpose of uniting my
efforts with yours to the end of composing the po-
litical differences which now unhappily distract
the people Of South Carolina. / beg you to
believe that my anxiety to bring about the per-
manent pacifcation of that State--a pacifcation
in which the rights Of all shall be safe aud the
interests of all shall be protected-is as sincere
as feel assured 10 your own for tho accom-
plishment Of the same ends. My position for
years past in reference to the political rights OF
colored citizens and my solemn pledges given
during the late canvass in South Carolina, that
under my administration all their rights should
be absolutely secure, should furnish sufficient
guarantee of my sincerity on these points, which
appear to DO the subject of special anxiety.
have the honor to ask at what hour it will be
your pleasure to receive me.
am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient
servant, WADE HAMPTON.
