- ~ ArAtA4A 49,
which We are told has been rendered
thrice blessed by the kindly care and
beneicent rule Of Wade Hampton. II
is. perhaps. natural tina, the "ehivalry"
OF South Carolina should expect the Re-
publicans Of that State to endorse an adj
ministration which was forced upon
them by ku-klux bayonets. and which is
made brilliant by the lurid light Of burn
ing school.houses and smoking negro
cabins. Il is natural that they should
expect the freedmen to throw their caps
high in air and shout themselves hoarse
at tho mention ot the name Of the man
who fought for four long years to clinch
the chains which enthrallsd them. All
this is very natural. We say. to the
"chivalry'' Of the Palmetto State. for is
IL not quite in the nature OF things for
the inferior race to look upward to the
superior, and accept without question
the rulings Of his late masterf Should
not the negro rejoice that Wade Hamp-
ton has succeeded in putting his heel
upon the neck Of a Republican majority,
and given back the State to tho control
Of the traitors who fired upon Sumter
in 1862
But the freedmen and their white
Republican friends have proven too stu
pid TO recognize the ~incalculable bone
fits which have been showsred upon
South Carolina since Wade Hampton
succeeded in forcing himself by means
OF rifles and bludssons into n position
which the people OF the State refassdt to
give him. Somehow they fail to realize
the blessings OF n government which
holds its position through brute force.
and which insuits the common sense OF
the entire nation by proclaiming itself
Republican in form. when q majority oil
Its subjects can only use the right OF
suffrage at the risk Of being murdered
at the ballot-bo1. And 80 these Rspub-
licans. not willing TO stultify themselves
by endorsing Wade Hampton. and still
less willing to DO made the victims Of
Democratic bullets next Fall. met in
convention the other day and resolved
to make no nominations. but to let the
election go by default.
1t would seem to n Northern man that
the Democrats Of South Carolina ought
to have been satisfsd with this action
Of the Republicans. II leaves Wade
Hampton the opportunity to walk over
the field in November. But the ''ehiv-
alry'' of the South are not content with
