NEW YORK, April Z. "A Columbia
special gives the following as Cover.
nor Hampt0n's speech yesterday {:
"Mr. Hayes, consulting his own dig
nifty and respect for the laws for the
people of South Carolina, and for
myself, asked me to make no conces-
sions, to make no terms and pro-
posed no conditions, and as long as
he will follow out in good faith the
policy indicated in his inaugural, if
he will do equal justice to all sections
in this country, and see that the laws
are enforced in Massachusetts as in
South Carolina, in Louisiana as in
Ohio; if he will carry out in good
faith all the pledges he has made and
be constitutional president, recog.
nizing no party, race, or section, so
long will support him. 1 wish to
say to you, forget for the next four
years everything about politics for
get that you are Democrats or Re-
publicans, and remember only that
You are South Carolinians. Show
the people of the North that we have
no prescription in our hearts, that we
welcome him who comes here as a
citizen, no matter what his politics
may be. 1 say again, now that the
power has been placed in our hands,
here where l took the oath of office
solemnly swearing that / would obey
the Constitution of the United States
and of this State, L say once more
that intend to carry out every
pledge and to be governor of the
whole people. Therefore 1 enjoin it
upon you that to reap thefruit of our
victory you must observe the laws.

James Parton's Baby.

1t is stated that "Mr. James Par
ton is rejoicing over his first baby"
Parton? Parton? Yes, we remember
now. Mr.. Parton married Fanny
Fern. Was her third husband. And
wheu she died he married her daugh-
ter-his step-daughter. But he could
not endure the idea of being a step
father. 1t was repugnant to his feel.

discovered the laws of the states did
not recognize such marriages, and
asked the lawmakers to make little
low for him but they refused, and he

tifying the landlord, since which time
we had not heard of him until this
baby remained us of these things.
But what bothers us now is to fix Mr..
Parton's relationship-or rather his
numerous relationship-to that baby.
In the first place, ought we to call
him father or grandfather? Because
it is his child and his grandchild.
But if that baby is his grandchlld
and Parton is its father, bless me Par.
ton must be brother to himself! That
is quite clear. And if Parton is his
own brother, why, then he must be
uncle to that baby. That follows, of
course. And if he is uncle to that ba-
by his wife must be its aunt. Why
there is no end to this confusion. or
course, Mrs. Parton can't be aunt and
mother at the same time. The idea
is absurd. We see now where we
were in error. The exact relation
ship may be stated thus: Parton is a
father and-is u half or fourth
grandfather? No matter; call it a half.
Consequently that baby isis.
Now Fanny Fern took him as her
third huspand, and Parton's present
wife being her daughter, and not his
that daughters baby is no kin to him.
That sounds absurd, too, very. AL
lowing it is Parton's child, to begin
with. Parton is its father, and he is
just as much its grandfather, unlses
it is the intention not to permit the
poor thing to have any grandfather at
all. Now, if it is his grandchild, and
he was Fanny FERNS third husband,
this baby is the child of her daugh.
ter, every time he takes it on his
knee-it couldn't possibly be a twin,
could it? No that isn't it. Yet there
does apper to be two generations in
that one baby somehow. The idea

that there shall be no violence, and
go around and tell his neighbors that
there is blOOdshed end violence we
shall lose what we have gained, and
to appeal to them to carry out this
policy of peace. The only difficulty
that seemed to stand in the way at
Washington was the fear that when
the troops were taken out of the
State House there would be violence.
They asked about it. l pledged my
honor mark me my friends, l
pledged my honor that not one sin
gle man should go into that State
House unless he had business there {;
that would place two unarmed men

of no. You have trusted me. Trust
me little longer. 1t is important
for you.
1t is important for South Carolina
lana and for the whole country that
the troops should not be removed
until l got here. When that order
comes let nobody go to that State
House. Just let it stand until

that is. Your destiny is now in your
own hands. 1t is for you to shape it
for veal or woe. You can by i'm
prudence or violence undo the labor
of months, and bring back to US all
the scenes of anarchy, misrule and
corruption which have prevailed.
Or if you are prudent and discreet as
you have been, you can soon place
yourselves in higher and better
plane. beg the white men to show
to the colored men that what l have
said for 12 years is true, that you are
the best friend they have In the
world. Iappeal to the colored men
to recognize the government which
is now firmly established &; to trust us
for while, and as they are still in
the majority, if the government
have established does not carry out
the pledges have made, then throw
out all the men in office at the next
election, and put in anybody you
please.

thesorder to A. Denmead & Son, the
pr0prietors of rival establishment.
Mrs Winans published numerous
pamphlets and wrote many commu.
nications to the newspapers to show
that his locomotive was not only the
most powerful one in existence, but,
when rightly managed, it was the
most economical. He also contended
With great warmth that the order for
freight locomotives of another pat
teru, given to Denmead & Son, was
notice to all the railroads in the
country that the "camel back" was
a failure at home, and that it was
therefore an injury to him which
could not be measured by the mere
loss of the contract. 1t was not the
pecuniary loss that troubled Mr.. Wi
mans, however, in one of his letters
% Mr.. Garrett he says: "This is not
matter of gain with me, it is a
question of science and truth" Sci
ence and experience was against him
however, and he soon ceased to build
locomotives. When the next Cen
tennial exposition comes around the
"camel back" will be as great Gu
riosity as the little engine built by
Phineas Davis, which the Baltimore
and Ohio Company exhibited last
summer as the pioneer of their line.
Although Mr.. Winans directed his
attention principally to the inven-
ton and improvement of railroad
machinery, he devised many other
appliances for saving labor and in
creasing the comfort and happiness
of mankind. We do not think how
ever, that many of them have come
into general use. AT the beginning
OF the war he was credited with the
invention of 'steam gun" that was
seized by the Union troops on the
suspicion that it was intended for
the South. He was a member of he
historic "Frederick' Legislature" in
1861, It, and shared in the misfortunes
of that body. After his release from
imprisonment he took but little part
in public affairs, but in local matters
and especially in projects for i'm
proving the city of Baltimore. he
exhibited the liveliest interest.
There is large volume of pamphlets
written by him in the library of the
Maryland Historical Society, and
they nearly all relate to subjects in.

tanning to the Enjoyment of Health, ,
etc., etc. He also wrote a number
of pamphlets and two or three books
on theological subjects. Viewed
from the orthodox standpoint, his
theology was not sound, but his life
was pure, and his errors in religious
belief were in some measure COM
pensated for by warm philanthropy
that was constantly exerted in devil
sing measures for the improvement
of the condition of the poor. He
was happy in his domestic relations,
fond of home, plain and unostenta-
tious in his mode of living, and made
no display of his wealth. The name
of Ross Winans will always occupy
a prominent an and honorable place
in the annals of Baltimore.-Balto:

man. AT home he was tender, play
full and loving. His whole life hung
around his home. He had no ambi.
tion-no love of power-no thought
of place or pomp. His horror OF
bloodshed was instructive and pow
erful. He served his country from
sense of duty. He was passionately
devoted to children. Our first child
died, and my daughter was born only
few weeks before his death. He
never took days furlough during
the war; not even to come to see his
child. Just before the battle of
