HAMPTON FOR A SECOND TERM.

The best interests of the State, under all
the circumstances, demand that Governor
Hampton shall serve the people for second
term. While this fact is conceded by over
nine-tenths of the white people of the State,
we believe the conservative, conciliatory and
manly administration of the Office, since his
induction into the gubernatorial chair, has
won for our noble Governor the confidence of
vast majority of the colored Republican
voters; so that it is safe to assume that in
the approaching campaign, his reelection over
any and all opposition would be foregone
conclusion. With no dissension in the Dem
ocratic ranks, we doubt whether the Repub.
lican party will attempt to place candidate
in the field, preferring to support one who
has been tried and found true to the people,
serving them regardless of party, race or
previous condition. This would be happy
state of affairs and would forever close the
outrage mill, 80 far as this State is concerned.
Already the people are beginning to speak,
and their voice is unmistakable in their pref
ence for Hampton. Besides numbers Of
meetings of Democratic clubs throughout the
State, thus giving expression to their views,
the Democracy of Abbeville, by delegates
from local clubs, convened in the Court House
on the 14th instant. Sixteen out OF nineteen
clubs were represented, and three additional
clubs re ported and were enrolled.
Col. J. S. Cothran, former President, call
ed the meeting to order and addressed the
convention, declining reelection. Gen. S.
MCGOWAN was elected President by acclama-
ton. Resolutions were offered compliment
ary to Col. Cothrau, the retiring President,
and adopted by unanimous rising vote.
The following resolutions, offered by W. K.
Blake, ESQ.,, we're adopted unanimously and
with great enthusiasm:
Resolved, That we endorse the policy pur
sued BY Governor Hampton as eminently
wise; that conservatism, the distinguishing
feature of the administration, is pure Democ-
racy, and he who dsregards it would rob the
party of its vital principle.
RESOLVED, That in Governor Hampton we
recognize man of whom century produces
one, reared by Providence for special pur-
pose, our redemption, and to whom we look
as the only man in South Carolina who can
unity the Democratic party.
Resolved, That for this purpose it is the du'
ty of the party to nominate Hampton, and it
is his duty to the State and to his people to
bear the Democratic standard once more,
that we may preserve our unity.
Resolved, That should Governor Hampton
refuse to serve the State in the capacity of
Chief Magistrate, it will be hazarding the
safety of the State, and upon him, who alone
can avert it, will rest the responsibility of her
relapse into condition utterly intolerable.
These resolutions have the ring of the true
metal, and but echo the voice of every county
in the State.

In THE SENATE, the bill to prevent unjust

by vote of 1S yeas to 10 nays.

Offices and the mode of filling the same; to
prevent cruelty to animals; to amend all act
to regulate the fees of probate judges, clerks
of courts and other officers.
In THE HOUSE, the discussion of the phos-
phate bill was resumed. The principal ground
of contest WAS whether the phosphate terri
tory should be granted with exclusive rights
to certain companies, or whether general
rights should be extended to all who could
give security to the State that the royalty
would be punctually paid. The matter was
finally decided, by vote of 81 to At, in fa-
vor of the granting of limited, exclusive
rights to certain parties mentioned in the bill,
and the territory was accordingly apportion-
ed off to the several companies applying for
charters. None Of the companies are except
ed from the provisions of the Act of 1S4l.
This Act makes acts of interpretations SUBJ
ect to amendment or repeal at the pleasure
of the General Assembly. None of the priv.
ileges extend beyond ten years.

JOURNALISTIC.

The Augusta Chronicle and Constitutional
ist has entered upon the second year since the
consolidation of the two papers, and in no.
ticing the fact, the editors announce that the
paper is iii prosperous condition, and that
it is their determination in the future to keep
it up to the high standard of excellence which
it has long since attained. While the Chron.
icle and Coastit,ttionalist is live newspaper,
furnishing the freshest news from every quar-
ter of the globe, it is also edited with dignity
and ability; an honor to its State and a
bright exempIar of Southern journalism.
Bv the present railroad schedules, the
Charleston News and Courier again reaches
all points on the Charlotte, Columbia and
Augusta, and the Chester and Lenoir Rail-
roads on the afternoon Of the day of publi-
cation. This is welcome arrangement to
the readers of that sterling journal, whose
name is a household word in every portion
of the State. 1t is with pleasure, too, that
we record the fact that the charges Of frand
in connection with the printing ring swindes
in this State, at one time alleged against the
Neus and Courier, are not sustained by the
report of the investigating committee. The
representative newspaper of the State, so far
as the record shows, is free from taint in con-
nection with its contract for publishing the
laws, and the exoneration places it higher
than ever in the estimation of the people of
the State, who have at no time questioned the
enterprise and ability with which it is con-
Quoted.

Cur state Debt,

The last biennial report Of the
auditor stated the debt of the state
to be Sl7,620, ,362,72. The supreme
court of the state has reduced this

ing the railroad aid bonds (S6,e ,e76,-
26a,60), snd the luvce bonds (e2,-
$40 sf7,7+J, illegal and VOID. The
lIoliord bonds (Sl,9 ,905, ,09O we have
no doubt will be declared void
Whenever the question iG properly
presented To the same court. Take
this amount from tho debt-in ad-
dillon to the railroad aid and levee
bonds-and we are loft with an IN
debtedness of only So 1872, ,l25,3s.
OF this amouat we owe the United
States about 81 100000. Senator
Garand's bill authorizing the Uni.
ted States ia compromise this debt
at fifty conts on the dollar will no
loubt become law. This will
take 100000 more off. That
would then leave us with a debt of
So ,292, i25, 3s. The United States
owes the state of Arkansas an
amount nearly equal to 500, 600,
