| Judge II. ID. Carpenter,
Of Columbia District, South Carolina,
who Is the only Circuit Judge who has
not recognized Hampton by judicial de-
cisions, has just written q letter to
Governor Hampton, stating that the
peace, prosperity and welfare of the
state depend upon the establishment Of
Hampton's authority as Governor.
Hampton, In a similar talk, says the
Governor who does not have the respect
Of the people will soon tire of admins
tering an office Without honor or emolu-
ments. Gov. Hampton says he will ad-
minister the affairs OF the State for the
best interest OF all classes. He will see
that the blacks are protected In all their
rights. He thinks that the dawn OF
peace is about breaking In upon South
Carolina. He also thinks that Preside mt
Hayes means to stand by the principles
breathed in his inaugural address, and
That time will show the country the WIS.,
dom OF his Southern policy.
Chamberlain and Hampton Talk.
In reply to questions by an inter-
viewer as to whether he would surren-
der the office to which he claimed to
have been legally elected. Governor
Chamberlain remarked that the question
as to the Pres idency had been submitted
to the arbitrament Of commission, but
he was reminded that Governor Hamp-
| ton had repeatedly declared he would
submit TO no arbitration in which the
question OF his right to the office was
involved. In his case he said the ques-
ton would resolve itself into the orig
ina proposition.
From the character Of the interview,
| the impression was left that Governor
ChambeEla was by no means confident
| OF holding his position, and not wholly
lndisposed to accept some arrangement
by which the difficulties could be ad-
justed on that basis. 1t is now said he
expects the Italian mission as soon as
Hampton Is recognized as Governor.
Hampton Preparing to Leave.
WASHINGTON, March 3O.-Governor
Hampton, alter taking breakfast, had
the parlor Of Willard's Hotel
and subsequently received in his room
large number of prominent Demo-
Gratis, including Hon. Fernando Wood.
Hon. Montgomery Blair, and Governor
Walker, OF Virginia.
The presence in the lobby OF that Dor
ton OF the citizens OF Washington who
vent South during the rebell-
ion, was. particularly noticeable,
all anxious TO obtain a glimpse of the
famous Confederate Chieftain. 1t is the
present intention OF Governor Hampton
and party TO leave for home at halt-past
2 O'Clock tonight.

ing the day, but just what took place at
the interviews is not known. The Pres

the Governor, and so the gossips are
busy drawing on their imaginations for
probabilities. 1t is generally under

Will be brought together before the
President, and the three men, face to
