HAMPTON Still ALIVE,
GOD BE PRAISED!
The Old Hero Thinks lie Has
Turned the Corner"

For three days after the amputation of
his leg, Gov. Hampton's condition was
extremely critical. Then, for three or
four days, he was reported as steadily
improving-past the crisis. Then again,
on Monday, the sudden and horrifying
announcement was made that he was
certainly dying-was beyond all hope.
And now, as we so to press on Wednes-
day at noon, comes the cheering news
that he has again rallied We subjoin
the very latest kilograms that we can
obtain. They are from the Augusta
Chronicle and Constitutionalist, of Tues
day and Wednesday:
COLUMBIA, December l6.-Hampton's
condition is deplorable. The absent
members of his family Lave been sum-
moned to his bedside, and the worst may
be- expected. We are to lose HIM.
COLUMBIA, December l7.-Governor
Hampton's symptoms are said to be un-
favorable to day and his general condi-
ton an improvement on yesterday.
He has certainly been much worse for
the past two days; but to day has rallied
slightly.

Gov. Hampton's condition is still critical.
He, however, told a gentleman who saw
him at six this evening that he thought
he had turned the corner. He takes
nonrishment in moderation and alto
gether his condition is more hopeful.

NEGROES IN CONGRESS-.

1t is said that in the Forty-six,h Con-
gress there will be but regro-Sena-
tor Bruce, of Mississippi, unless our
O'Hara should gain the seat from the Sec
ond District. In Washington it is freely
predicted that Bruce will be the last of
his race who will aver get to Congress.
The Radicals Of the North who control
matters in some States and cities will
not elect the .colored man and brother"
and in the South il looks as if he did not
stand much chance OF political promo
ton. In 1870, there were nine blacks in
Congress; in 1872, seven; change with a
bale of cotton to be in 1874, four; in 1876,
three; and in 1879 the prospect is Il at
there will be but one. After that the
place that knows him no more forever.
In the next House there will be n
hundred and fifteen new members out OF
two hundred and ninety-three. Ofthese
some have served in former pears.

has given us much trouble, and is still
doing so, inasmuch as there were two
reports-majority and minority-from
the Committee appointed to look into the
matter. On account of a clerical error
in the minority report and a defect in
the Act of the last General Assembly, a
considerable portion of the funds due
creditors is locked mp in the hands of
the County Commissioners. The dele
CATION met and agreed to provide for the
minority report, a majority of them, and
introduced a bill to cover the minority
report. And yesterday afternoon, at the
suggestion of Gov. Bonham, l presented
the said bill. The bill which had been
referred to the Committee of Ways and
Means was withdrawn from the files of
the House. But 1 fear the passage of
any bill in reference to this veXed mat
ter will be endangered by the shortness
of our time. The present indications are
that we will stick to the concurren res
olulion to adjourn on the 23rd instant.

THE VICTIMS.

1t is now ascertained that no less than
forty Protestant ministers died Of the yell
low feverduring the epidemic in the South.
This is a sad mortality. Whilst a few
may have run from the pestilence the min
listers generally must have stood manfully
at their posts, or there could not have
been any such mortality among them. As
far as we have been able to learn only
some few Northern Methodist preachers
fled. The Southern born remained with
their Aocks and forty of them died on the
field Of duty. All honor to their memo.
ry. A splendid shaft, or a grand free
memorial church should be erected TO the
memory ofthe forty martyrs. Some eight
or nine Presbyterian ministers died in
Mississippi alone of the fearful scourge,
we believe.
We have recorded the fact that thirty
two Catholic priests are reported as hay
ing persisted from the same destroyer. The
physicians, too, were great sufferers, and
very many of them dicd. We have not
seen an exact statement Of the number.
The scourge brought out some of the no.
blest traits of humanity, whilst also re-
vealing some of the ugliest and most re-
pellant characteristics of poor fallen hu
man nature.
