HALr1NG JUsT1cE.-It is a puzzling
question whether Judge Reed, of the
Charleston Circuit, expects any one to be
Pleased with the shuf1ing course he has
pursued in the cases brought before him
TO decide the gubernatorial question.
AL. the other judges except Wiggin,
whom Chamberlain himself pronounced
a mere leaf on the current, have grappled
with the problem, and decided it in &C.
cordance with their ideas of law. Those
who had not originally entertained it
themselves, prompsly accepted the de-
cision of the Supreme Court in the Tilda
Norris case. But Judge Reed has per-
sistently evaded The issue, until his wrig-
Cling and squirming have made him an
object of general notice. If, as is sur
missed, Judge Reed really inclines towards
Chamberlain, for whom, in 1874, he
turned his back upon the white people Of
the State, let him evince his preference
at once. The people wish to know who
are the enemies Of law and order; and
they have less contempt for those who
openly espouse the wrong than those who
secretly abet it, yet fear to take decided
step, lest it be towards the losing side.
If Judge Reed intends to act as becomes
citizen and Judge, let him no longer
resort to eyasions, but at once check the
whisper of suspicion.
The decency Of the city Of Charleston
and of the State prevented Whipper from
tossing Judge Reed out of one of the
Court House windows last year. 1t is his
imperative duty now to screen the decen.
cy of Charleston from the insults ot
Bowen and his rabble. If he fears to
perform his duty, let him resign. BE has
exhausted the patience Of the people
Let him define his position at once

Governor Hampton is now engaged in
organizing strong and effective coustab-
ulary force, and has recently appointed
Col. William Butler, of Edgefeld, as the
Chief Constable of the State, under the
provisions of the law authorizing this
organization. Col. Butler was in COM
mand of the First Regiment of South
Carolina Regulars during the war, and at
the battle of Averysboro, after the cap
.ture of Col. Alfred Rhett, commanded
the brigade of regulars. BE was an Off
Ger in the old United States Army, and
only recently had his disabilities re-
moved. He is son Of the late DR..
William Butler, who represented this
section in Congress many years ago, and
is q brother of Gen. NJ. O. Butler. His
appointment is regarded as an excellent
selection for this responsible position.
Goy. Hampton evidently means business
in the right direction, and when the
proper time arrives, the "eviction Of
Chamberlain" will speedily follow. The
President and his advisers may attempt
to daily with the question of dual gov
ernment in South Carolina, but the right
full Governor cannot wait always on their
slow and tardy movements.

Ex-Governor Scott Fayors the Recog.
milton Of Wade Hampton to Secure
Peace and Prosperity.

In the National Republican of the 18th
inst. We find the following letter, which
explains itself:
WASHINGTON, March 10, 1877.
To the Editor of the National Republican: :
SR-My attention has been directed
to articles in the press placing me in the
position whereby it may be inferred that
/ sanction criticisms made upon promi-
nent Republicans at home. I desire to
state that my recent call upon the Presi
dent, in company with other South Caro-
lima gentlemen, had no reference to the
private character or public acts of any
Republican in that State, but was i'm
PEELED by the hope that something could
be done to settle the vexed question of
our dual governments; nor did have
thought Of acting in the premises until
majority of the Circuit Judges had de-
cided in favor of General Hampton's
claim, and all of the Supreme Judges had
led me to infer that they would 80 decide
by having frequently declared that he was
elected Governor; indeed, there was no
apparent remedy for alleged frauds that
were charged in the election, as it had
passed beyond the power of the politi-
clans, and had become purely judicial
question.
I was satisfied that the prolongation
of the contest against the inevitable re-
suit would be to bring financial ruin
upon the whole State, and as Republi-
can, no man in South Carolina was more
anxious for the success of Republican
principles than myself, and yet / am not
willing to sacrifice everything in an ex-
pertinent that must result disastrously.
If the party has met with reverses there,
it would hardly be justi6able, I appre-
hend, to sacrifice the material interests
of commonwealth in the vain effort to
retrieve what was lost in campaign that
cannot be recalled. The Chief Justice
of the State having recently deceased, it
may be regarded doubtful as to what his
decision would have been, but by every
fair deduction we have the right to as
sumo that when he made his requisition
upon General Hampton for his salary,
which he accepted on the order of his
Treasurer, countersigned by Wade Hamp-
ton as Governor, he intended to recog-
nize him as Governor of the State.
may add that Associate Justices Will
lard and Wright also drew their salaries
in like manner. 1t is only too obvious
that the decline of the Republican party
in the Southern States since 1870 has
rendered its extinction almost certain
under existing organizations, and what
ever success has been attained in the
past was, unfortunately, achieved by
many sacrifices to those who were forced
into the leadership. I fully appreciate
the difficulties encountered in the vexed
question of our State, which presents
itself on the threshold of what bids fair
to be wise and most benefcent admin
istration of our national government.
Very respectfully, &C.,
ROBERT K. SCOTT.

Special Dispatch to the Anderson Intclligencer.
COLUMBIA, March 81, 1877.
There is no change in situation at Co.
lumbia. Hon. S. S. Cox (sunset) passed
through on his wny to Aiken on Monday
last. 1t was reported that he came as
Mr.. Hayes messenger to Hampton and
Chamberlain, but this proved untrue, as
his visit was purely personal. Nothing
else of interest for the week past.
All attention is now fixed upon Cabi-
net proceedings. 1t was in session FIVE
hours yesterday. There was o prelimi-
nary examination of mass of documents
relating to Louisiana and South Carolina,
and it is believed the two cases will be
disposed of together, but nothing what
ever is known as to what was done in the
session.
Leading Northern papers give each
their own speculations and rumors as to
the ultimate settlement of the matter in
South Carolina and Louisiana, but all
differ, and presumably all of their opin-
ions are worthless. The President and
Cabinet are utterly reticent.
A New Orleans dispatch yesterday
suys that upwards of three hundred me-
groes enrolled in Packard's militia yes
terday, making total of FIVE hundred.
The President has received information
of an intention on the part of Packard
to make an aggressive movement. The
President is quoted as saying that Pack
ard must have poor, opinion Of the
judgment and worse one of the firm
ness of the administration if he contem-
plates anything of the kind.
Two o'clock dispatches says the Rad
icals will endeavor to have matters left
to compromise commission. Nothing
whatever was done in the Cabinet session
yesterday to indicate views of individual
members. 1t is feared some device will
be found for breaking the promise of an
early settlement and consequent quiet in
the two disturbed States. Hayes South
ern policy seems to have been q sem
timent rather than an active purpose.
All speculation is completely baf1ed.
The situation in New Orleans is more
peaceful to-day. Nichols police have
arrested number of Packard's recruit
ing officers on the charge Of treason. 1t
is thought bloody collision, which has
been feared for two days past is not now
probable.
Rumors that the State House in Co.
lumbia has been lately reinforced and
barricaded are without foundation.
This unsatisfactory account of affairs
faithfully reflects the situation up to
latest advices.

= Washington telegram to the New
York Herald: Unless Mr.. Chamberlain
,withdraws voluntarily in South Carolina,
Governor Hampton will, whenever the
arrangements Of the federal authorities
are completed, proceed against him in
the courts of the State and under stat
ute, curiously enough, which was enacted
by the Republicans in 1868, to enable
them to put ont some Democratic incum-
bepts. This statute provides for the sum-
mary eviction of any person intruding
himself into 9 public Office by q warrant
issued by Circuit Judge. The party
eyicted under such warrant is author
lied BY the statute to assert his claim or
pretensions in the courts if he wishes, but
he must give way first and at once on the
issue and presentation of the warrant to
the officer ELECTED.

SOUTH CAROLINA IN WASHINGTON.
Capt. F. W. Dawson, of the Charles
ton News and Courier, has been spending
some time in Washington, and makes the
following statement in regard to the rep
resentation of the Hampton administra-
tion at the capital:
"South Carolina is represented in
Washington by Senator Gordon, of Geor-
gia, Senator NJ. G. Butler, of South Car
olina and Judge T.J Mackey. Through
these gentlemen, and chiefly through the
last named, Governor Hampton commu-
nicates with the National officials. Judge
Mackey says that he was specially reques-
ted by Governor Hampton to go to Wash
ington, and that when Gen. Kershaw and
Col. Rion left the Capital, Gen. Kershaw
placed him in charge of our affairs. It
is due to Judge Mackey to say that he is
indefatigable and jealous. No man, po-
litically speaking, is SO high or so low as
to be beyond Judge Mackey's notice, and
the papers he has prepared and the
thousands of epigramatic addresses he
has delivered have undoubtedly had their
effect.
s'Senator Gordon, man of very differ
ent mould, has made it the business of
his political life to secure justice and
peace for South Carolina. We all re-
member that he hastened to Columbia
last fall when the Legislature was about
10 meet, and stood shoulder to shoulder
with Hampton and Conner throughout
the whole of the series of intellectual
combats which followed the exclusion of
the Democratic members from the State
House. Since his.return to Washington
he has labored just as hard as he labored
in Columbia, and to him is largely due
the strength of our position. Nearly
every day he has had interviews with the
President or the members of his Cabinet,
and in the Senate chamber ne has been
as efficient as in more private confer
ences. 5s
'Senator M. G. Butler has necessarily
been embarrassed by the fact that his
seat in the Senate is contested, and could
not do as much as if his hands we're free.
But he has won host of friends for HIM
self and the State, and has made an e1-
cellent impression upon the President.
The apprehension was that Senator But
Ter would be handicapped by wildly SEN
sational stories circulated by his oppo-
nent, Mr.. D. T. Corbin but the Outrage
Mill is apparently out of order, and we
do not know any Democrat whom the
South Carolina Legislature could have
elected who would stand better in Wash
ington than Gen. Butler does. No man
has more personal magnetism, and he
bids fair to be one of the strongest as
we'll as most popular of the Southern
Senator'S"

aFor ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain," the average South Caro-
lima Republican was always peculiar.
Washington dispatches state that some
of Chamberlain's friends, who were
pushing his cause with the President,
got themselves into quite predicament
not long ago by being among the partic-
pants in a faro game at the "Club," one
of the most notorious gaming houses in
Washington. The police made 8 raid
after midnight upon the saloon, and cap
tured among others qnite delegation
from South Carolina. Among the num-
ber were Ex-senator F. A. Sawyer, who
was assistant secretary of the treasury
under Secretary Richardson; Judge Car
pen.er, the political acrobat of South
Carolina; one Congressman and two Ex-
Congressman from the same State. The
police were even harder than usual on
these distinguished ~ captives, for they
were kept all night in the station house.
Chamberlain was quite forgotten by these
yorthies for q time, and he will doubtless
attribute the failure of his cause to their
fondnes for lighting the tiger.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1877-03-22

It is noteworthy that the extreme Rad
icals are greatly disappointed in their
expectations from the new occupant OF
the White House. Soon after the inau-
guration, when Hayes inaugural address
was quite fresh, it was Don Cameron who
said, 'It would have been better to have
had Tilden.n This remark seems to have
inspired Others, for Blaine said to friend
in Washington, only few days after
wards, that he chad no more influence
with Hayes than a page on the fo0r of
the Senate Col. Bob Ingersoll, the
great orator Of the West, whose labors in
behalf of the Republicans were hercu-
lean, asks this question: 3What party do
Ibelong to now, should like to know?"
And Ben Butler is reported as saying,
eve have taken great deal of trouble,
and won q defeat" These shining lights
of former days seem to think that, with
the counting in" of Mr.. Hayes, "othel-
los occupation's gone" The country
can stand it, if they cannot.
