PROGRESS OF THE CAMPAIGN.

The Hampton campaign still continues one
grand ovation throughout the State. When
ever Hampton is announced to speak, or
wherever he appears, his talismanic name
awakens the widest enthusiasm.
At Manning, on the 23rd, though the Gov
ernor was unavoidably prevented from filling
his appointment, there was an outpouring of
the people, estimated at not less than 5000,
who were addressed by number of distin.
guished speakers, among them Hon. M. P.
O'Connor, of Charleston.
At Darlington, on the 25th, the Governor
was met by about 1900 mounted Red Shirts,
and an equal number of pedestrians, whose
ardor in the present campaign seemed not to
have diminished since 1875. Gov. Hampton's s
speech there, as at every other place where, in
his frank and honest style he has addressed the
people, was received with rapturous and un-
bounded applause. In bis speech, the Govern
or said:
In 1868 he had first come to plead the
cause of the Democracy. He had stood since
on precisely the same platform, and had advo-
Gated in victory and defeat the same princi-
pies as the only ones which could lead to the
redemption of the people, white and black.
He had told the people then that he believed
that there would never be permanent peace
and happiness until the Democratic banner
was carried to victory. He had then told the
colored people that the white man was their
best friend that the Republicans would de.
sert them. Now, after ten years of humilia-
ton and strife and distraction, he came to tell
them that the banner of Democracy had been
carried to victory in South Carolina, and that
in 1880 the same victorious banner would be
planted on the National Capitol. [Cheers. ]
Not till that time would permanent peace aud
the maintenance of the constitution be secured
and the rights of States and individuals re,
cognized. He firmly believed that the Demo.
cratic party would protect colored men in all
their acquired rights sfully, emphatically and
truly as white men. He then spoke of the
probability that Republicans would seek to
destroy the colored mans rights, because of
the increased power they gave the Democratic
South, and that the latter would protect them,
if from no other motive, from selfinterest.
He then reviewed the action of the Republi
can party relative to colored suffrage, saying
that it had given the Democrats stick with
which to break their heads, in its efforts to
degrade and crush the South. He depreca
ted forcibly the maintenance of q color line
warning the colored men that it could only
be created by themselves, and would lead to
their ruin and obliteration. Later in his re-

vised of a frost in Charleston. This course is
deemed necessary in order to prevent the pos.
| sible introduction of fever.
The Edge6eld advertiser Of last week
says: "Owing to the recent exorbitant ad-
vance of freight upon cotton, and indeed eve.
ry class of goods over the Charlotte, Colum-
bia and Augusta Railroad, several of our
merchants who handle cotton, together with
many large planters, have resolved to run q
wagon train between Edge6eld and Augusta,
With view; Of hauling their cottonl to, and
their goods from that point This is also be-
ing done at, Johnston, and. on avery large
scale. The advance upon freight, as regards
cotton. is said to be so per cent, and as re.
CARDS other goods even more"
Governor Hampton having made certain
propositions to the Internal Revenue Depart
ment in regard to the assumption by the State
of the amount of whisky tax that might be
deemed to be due from South Carolina, annu-
ally, he has been informed that the Govern
ment cannot entertain his offer to hold him
self responsible for whatever sum it might be
decided should he paid by the State on
such account. 1t is deemed doubtful that
any correct estimate could be made, and be-
sides, the law does not authorize the collec-
tion of internal revenue tax through the
States. a. .' -, 'ia.~ ...s. i ..i s.. -1s
A dispatch from Greenville, says that
revenue officers recently returned from Pick.
ems county report that Deputy Marshal Gary
met Redmond near bis horne on the 26th ul-
timo Redmond said that he would not leave
home, and that if the revenue officers came
for him he would hurt somebody. He would
not surrender if the government agreed to
sentence him only to six months imprison-
ment. He emphasized the statement that
Gary would be killed, not by him, however,
but he could not prevent it. Redmond and
three men with him we're we'll armed. r ~
= Superintendent of Education Hugh S.
Thompson recently addressed an earnest let-
ter to DR.. Sears, the trustee of the Peabody
School Fund, asking for liberal appropria-
ton for the benefit of public schools in South
Carolina for the ensuing year. DR.. Sears has
replied in substance that in consequence Of
certain losses recently sustained by the Fund,
the appropriation for this State next year will
not exceed $500. The results of this cor
respondence is made public in order that per-
sons interested may be informed beforehand,
and that no grounds may be left for future
misapprehenson on this important subject.
