Hampdon-wbo both claim the Gov
ernorship Of South Carolina, the gues-
tion of who is Governor of fhe State
named was taken up to the Supreme
Court. Tbe decision of the Court was
to have been given last Friday. On
Thursday the Chief Justice was strick-
en- helpless with paralysis. That left
the question with the two Associate
Justices, Willard, a white man, and
Wright, q colored man. The rendering
of the case or question was given in
such a way that Hampton vas recog-
nized as Governor BY both Judges.
But the next day Wright concluded to
somersault from Willard, and conse
quently be revoked wha, be did before,
and thus the rendering of the Judges
is tie, on the question that was ex-
pected to be settled last Friday, which,
whether Cham nberlain or Hampton is
Governor of South Carolina. 1t is lofty
somersaulting done by Democrat and
Republican.

The Country Likes the Policy of
Grant,

The question as to who is to be Pres
ident of the country has been amicably
settled, settled in way that becomes
civilized people, when they have a diff
ference to settle.
The Novemb Der election brought an
other bone Of contention to the surface,
over which the attention of the coun-
trJ has been given to degree second
only to the Presidential question. The
question is, as TO which of the two
State go, ernments in South Carolina
and Louisiana is the regular and legal
one. On that question, like on the
Presidential question, the people, lrre-
spective of party, are determined that
tn. dispute between the parties shall
not be allowed TO wax warm 10 sucn a
degree as to endsnger the peace of the
country, or to crush out the rights of
any one.
The last act Of ex President Grant
in regard to those States, was a com
mand that the United States troops
should not, under any circumstances
except iu case of riot, recognize either
one or the other of the wranglipg par
ties, but each were to be let alone in
their efforts TO solve the vexing ques
tiOn BY peaceable means as to who is
the Governor. The country like the
policy of Grant.

Rather than Starye Man Eats Man.

Captain Kane, of the American
schooner F. +. Mcdonald, writes from
Gorck, on the west coast of Africa,
January "a, that on bis outward pas
sage from Boston, whence be sailed
December IL, he fell in with the wreck
of the British bark Maria, Capt. Gray
son, having on board two survivors of
crew of fourteen men, the others hav
ing perishcd from exposure and famine.
The wreck was discovered ia latitude
1928, longitude 32 80, with the masts
gone, aud full OF water. The two men
were taken on board the schooner, but
one of them died in four hours from the
tine of the rescue. From the sole sur
vivor it was ascertaiDed that the bark
was bound from Doboy, Georgia, to Bel
fast, Ireland that she sprung leak in
4 gale and filled with water, SO that it
was impossible to save any provisions
or fresh water. The lumber with which
the vessel was loaded prevented her
from sinking, but the weight of the
masts turned the vessel on her beam
ends until the masts broke away, when
she righted ard the men regained the
deck. Having no food or water, how
ever, they soon began to die of starva
walton, and as soon as one died the rest
subsisted on the body, and sn on until
only two were left. The survivor,
whose name is james Mclaughlin, and
who belongs to Belfast, ireland, say.
that only small portions of the dead
bodies could be eaten. No one was
killed, but the moment one died the
survivors cut the throat of the deceased
and drank the blood and then divided
the heart and brains. 1t was thirty
two days from the time the disaster oc-
CURED until the wreck was sighted by
the schooner, and during all that time
the crew had not drop of water or
any other food than the bodies of their
shipmates.

He has filled the measure of human dis

Lofty Somersaulting Done by o
Democrat and Colored Man,


The past week has witnessed some Of
the grandest somersaulting known to
the politics of this country in any
equally given time.
The first of the somerssulteIs on the
list Is Congressman Randall, of Phlla
delphia Up to within period of ten
days, 10 man in Congress exceeded him
il the breathing of revolutionary de-
eigns, III the event Of Tllden not being
the declared man for the Office of Pres
ident, for the four years that were be-
gun last Sunday; and, being Speaker
of the Lower House of Congress, all
of his rslings we're SO shaped as to OBJ
struct the passage of the peace mea-
sures until after the 4th Of March. 1t
was ardently expected by his fellow
reyolutionists that be would so obstruct
the passage of the work Of the Com
mission BY his rulings that the 4th Of
March must have passed without de
claration of the completion of the count
for President. The country, in that
way, was expected to be without Pres
ldent, aud what they then intended TO
do has not been revesled, and Is known
only to God, the Devil and themselves.
But unexpectedly to the whole country
MIR Randall ceased his unfair rulings
about the middle of last week, and
came down on the dllatory work of his
revolutionary companions with all of
parliamentary skill at his command
What's the matter with Randall was
the inquiry on the lips of all. Patriots
asked the question. The gentlemen
who were for revolution and war asked
the question, and in Washington circles
the change was almost as startling as
when Paul refused further to persecute
the Christians One said, Randall
must have received light from Heaven.
Another said, Randall was bull dozed
By receiving seven hundred letters in
one day, and sundry long petitions from
his Philadelphia constituents, regard
less Of party, that if be persisted In his
revolutionary course, he could never
expect Philadelphia to do again for him
politically. Another said that political
ambition induced him to pursue the
latter course and somersault away from
the revolui.onists, among whom he was
one of the brightest lights. But, be
his reasons what they may, he comes in
az the eleventh hour, and as such must
receive the honor that properly belongs
10 him. His was a somersault in the
right direction.
Another case Of sonersaulting within

Court of South Carolina.
