Tho Governors Response.

In response to the invitation of
the President, Governor Hampton
wrote tho following letter:- :. ed.
COLUMBIA, March 2G, 1877. :
10 His .ErceUoncy R. Il. Hayes,
PRESIDENT:
SIR: 1 have the honor to acknowl-
edge your communication of the 3D.
instant, addressed to mo by your
private secretary. AS you express u
desire for personal conference with
myself, I accept, through motives Of
proper courtesy to yourself, the
invitation you have extended,
though 1 cannot hope by doing SO
to throw additional light on the
questions which have already been
50 ably and thoroughly presented,
and the solution of which is so
obvious and simple. But, under~
standing from the communication I
have received, that tho object CON
templated by the proposed confer
ence is solely that I might place be-.
fore you my ''views of the impcdi-
ments to the peaceful and orderly
organization Of single and undis-
puted State government in South
Carolina, and of tho best methods Of
removing them," shall avail myself
of your invitation, so that T . may
reiterate in person what I have illad
the honor to submit in writing that
in my Judgment all impediments to
the objects SO earnestly desired by
yourself, and SO anXiously expected
by tho people of this State, can at
once be removed by the withdrawal
of the Federal troops from our
Statehouse. This action on the
part of the commander-in chief
Of the United States forces
would not only be hailed by our
people as an evidence that civil au-
thority is no longer to be 'stbordi-
mated to the military power in our
country, but it would establish law,
insure domestic tranquility, revive
our wasted industries and give an
assurance that this State is to be re-
stored to hor just rights under tho
Constitution. Whatever grievances
exist, whatever wrongs we suffer,
we propose to redress them, not by
Il resort to force, but by legal md
constitutional agencies. In seeking
such redress, feel sure that 7 reps
resent fully the determination Of
the thoughtful and conservative
portion of our whole people when I
give the assurance that no proscrip-
ton shall be exercised horo on nc
count of political opinions that no
discrimination shall be made in the
administration of justice, and that
all citizens, of both parties and
and both races, shall be re,
garded as fully protected by and,
amenable to tho laws. Joining most,
heartily with you in the earnest de-
sire you express that You ''mny be
able to put an end rs speedily as
possible to all appearance Of inter-
vention of the military authority of
the United States in tho political
arrangements which affect The Cow
ernment and afflict the people of
South Carolina, and fervently trust
ing that this auspicious result may
soon DO reached, I have tho honor to
be, very respectfully, your obediont t
servant. 2.'"nE }Hi@'3a4&

by Professor Geleznow that humidi-

that in certain trees (ir and maple)

debate with a neighbor,. who is a firm
believer in the doctrines of the Repub-
llican party, made bet with the, latter
that If Gen. Mcclellan did not receive
5000 majority for Governor he would
shave himself with a dry razor that IS,

figure, took seat on one OF The corners

with the terms Of, the bet by shaving
himself. which operation he performed
In a graceful and effective manner. 1870

substantiatedl his assertion, and the fol-

life had been spared by Sitting Bull

escape, but, being carefully guarded,
was unsuccessful and, on each occasion

Sitting. Bull has made him q war chief,

that he was present for duty when his
command went into that fatal action of

Our ColOred Population,

We take the following from the
Maryville, Tenn, Republican, which
is edited by colored man, and a
strong Republican:
"The colored people of the South
are gradually but surely emancipat-
ing themselves from their political
masters; and nothing has contributed
50 much to this end as the liberal pol
lev of President Hayes. Whatever
doubts we may have had in regard to
the legality of his election, the Presi>
dent has most certainly acquitted him
self well so far, and has accomplished
more to check the corruption and par
tisanism of his own party than a Dem
ocratic President could have accom-
plished. The Republican party has
been rebuked and condemned as it
never was before; and the wholesome
lessons viii not, we trust, be lost up
on the members Of both parties

Onicial Canvass of the Cotton
Crom

0micial Canvass of the Cotton
Crop.
The official canvass of the area in
cotton this year shows an increase Of
nearly 4 per centum upon the acreage
of 1875, giving total in excess Of
twelve million acres. North Caro-
lima declines 4 per cent. and South
3 per cent. Georgia and Florida in
crease each l per cent, Alabama,
Mississippi and Tennessee 4, Arkansas
5. Louisiana 6 and Texas Is. The
States of the largest acreage are Mis-
sissippi, Texas, Alabama and Georgia.
The condition is lower than in the past
two years in June, but higher than in
1874. The State averages of the con-
dition are as follows: North Carolina
80; South Carolina, 80; Georgia, 49,;
Florida, go; Alabama, 90; Missis-
sippi, 81; Louisiana, So; Texas, 81;
Arkansas, "a; Tennessee, "a. The
season has been too cool for cotton,
too wet at the time of planting and
too dry since. In all of the area ex-
cept Texas, the plant is now generally
small but healthy, free from weeds
and in condition to improve rapidly
with favorable weather. Cut-worms
and aphides have had q favorable sea-
son for destructive operations, and
the grasshoppers have been exception
ally numerous in Texas.
