COLUMBIA, April 10.
To His Excellency, ID. IL. Cham Der
lain-Dir Sir: Recurring to views sew
orally expressed by us during a per-
sonal conference which we had the
honor to hold with you yesterday in
regard to the political complications
which have grown out of the late can
vass in this State, we beg leave to ap-
prise you fully of the conclusions we
have reached after mature delibera-
ton and the gravest reflection which
we have been able to bestow upon the
subject. Whilst we are no less in
spired with admiration for the digni-
fed and resolute manner n which you
consistently maintained your claim to
the Gubernatorial chair by virtue of
the election held in November last,
than we are sOleInnly impressed with
the validity Of your title to the office,
we are unanimous in the belief that to
prolOng the contest in the absence of
that moral power, and to which we
feel ourselves and our party justly en-
titled at the hands Of the National Ad-
ministration, installed in a large meas
ure through some agencies which are
now held to be insufficient for our
maintenance, will be to incur the re.
sponsibility of keeping alive partisan
prejudices which are in the last
degree detrimental to the best interests
of the people ofthe State and perhaps OF
precipitating a physical conflict that
could have but n result to our de-
fenceless constituency. We can not af-
ford to contribute, however indirectly,
to such = catastrophe even in the adj
vocacy OF what we know to be our
rights. We are agreed, therefore, in
coupselling you 10 discontinue the
struggle for the occupancy of the CUB
ernatorial chair, convinced, as we are,
that in view of the disastrous odds to
which its maintenance has been SUBJ
jected by the action of the National
Administration, your retirement will
involve no surrender of principles
nor its motive be misapprehendsd by
/ the great body of that political party
to which, in common with ourselves,
| you are attached and whose success in
the past in this State has been en-
nobled by your intelligent and unself.
/ ish services. We have the honor be,
very respectfully, yours, Robert b.
Elliott, Attorney General, Thos. G.
Dunn, Comptroller General, John A.
| Talbsrt, Superintendent of Education,
F. l.. Cardoza, Treasurer, d. q. James
I Kennedy, Adjutant and Inspector
General, and Fl. K. Hayne, Secretary
of State.
Chamberlain has just issued the fol-
lowing address, retiring from the con-
test for the Governorship:
To the Republicans of South Caro-
Tina: BY your choice l was made
Governor of your State in 1874. In the
election last November l was again, by
your votes, elected to the same Office.
My title to the office, upon every legal
and moral ground, is to-day as clear
and perfect, but by the recent decision
and action of the President OF the
United States, l find myself unable to
maintain my official rights with any
prospect of final success, and / hereby
announce to you that l am unwilling
ito prolong q struggle which can only
bring further suffering upon those
who engage in 1t. In announcing this
conclusion, It Is my duty to say for
you that the Republicans 0fSouth Car
olina entered upon their political
Gstruggle for the maintenance OF their
political and civil rights, constituting,
beyond question, . large majority OF
the lawful votes Of the State. You Al
lied yourselves with that political par
