of Gov. IIamptOn'S
Leg-HiS Election TO the
Senate,

COLUMBIA, S. c., Dec. 10.-Gov
HamI toms wounded leg was amputat-
ed to-day about six inches below the
knee. His physicians have contem-
plated this course for some days, anu
waiting until his condition would
warrant the operation. The immedi
ate friends of the Governor say that
his situation now is not dangerous
that he stood the operation finely un-
der the influence of chlOroforIn, and
that his system is in such condition
as to promise hopeful results. The
incident is not unaccompanied by
other circumstances.
The Legislature to-day elected Gov.
Hampton to the United States Senate.
The vote was taken separately in each
house, as required by law. The Sena-
tors who were present-twenty-ni
i'm all-including the republicans,
voted unanimously for the Governor.
The House, with the exception of two
mem bers, also voted for Hampton
The exceptions were Messrs Miller
and Simmons, colored members from
Beaufort, who voted for +, w. NJ.
Mackey. The scene in the House was
quite impressive. A letter was read
from Gov. Hampton defining his po-
elton, saving he was not a candidate,
but the nflice was neither 10 be sought
nor declined.
Gov. Hampton was born In Charles
ton, S. G, in 1918, and is therefore six
~ years of age. He graduated from

Speaker Allen and others. There was
some difference ofopinion as to the pro-
priety of the course to be adopted,
and hence the reference to the com
mittee for report at the next meeting
To-day the joint resolution for a
recess from the goth until the sd of
January was passed, thus afording
time for very free interchange Of opin-
ion between the people and their SEN
ators and Delegates.
The Secretary of the Common
wealth, Gen. Mcdonald, is sill very
unwell, and Of course unable to at
tend to the duties of bis Office. Mr..
Geo. T. Clarke, of Surry, is said to
be hopelessIy paralyzed at home
He has been helpless for a year. Mr..
Reese, the delegate from Greensville
county, has been acquitted of the
charge Of manslaughter, in killing Of
a colored man during the fall canvass.
He is now in his seat.
A very spirited contest over the SUI
perintendency of the E. Lunatic Asy
lum at Williamsburg has just resulted
in the reelection of DR.. Black, the in
cumbent, by a majority of one vote
over DR.. Wise, son Of the late Gov.
Wise. 1t seems we are never to have
peace over this Asylum, and two new
appointments had been recently made
on the board of visitors, resulting as
was alleged, in the unseating of DR..
Black, who is one of the very few
men from the South West now in any
State position. The odd man was
found who failed to come to the slate,
and the South West won. There is
no better man in all Virginia than DR..
B. and his retention gives great salts

INTERROGATION.

The Surgeon Of the Penitentia
ry prefers grave charges against
the management Of the Canal for
cruelty towards the convicts, nine
per cent. of whom died while pre-
pairing the Canal, as against 4 per
cent. among those in the prison.
The Committee on Asylums and
Prisons are now instituting a
searching investigation of these
charges, and the bottom facts are
likely to be brought ont.
There is also serious talk of in
vestigating the entire management
of the Agricultural & Mechanical
College at Blacksburg. As yet no
formal charges have been preferred
in this case, hut it is not unlikely
there will be.
The superintendent Of Public
Printing is now arraigned on
charges Of incompetency and false
swearing, the specifications being
tina. he swore in his qualification
for Office that he was skilled and
acquainted with the practical details
of the business Of printing" being
not practical printer.

the South Carolina College with dis
tinction, and his pursuits previous to
the late war were almost exclusively
those of planter, though he served
with ability in both branches of the
South Carolina Legislature, When
the war broke out Gov. Hampton Or
ganized splendid legion OF troops,
and contributed largely towards their
equipment. This legion took part in
the first battle of Name ssas, where
General Hampton was wounded in
the head, leading charge. Soon af-
ter he was assigned to the command
of a brigade of cavalry, and after
wards ably seconded Gen. Stuart in
many of his daring expeditions. At
Gettysburg he was wounded three
times, and on the death of Gen, Stu
art, in 1864 he was made major gen.
eral, and placed in command of all the
cavalry OF the army of Northern Va.
He continued in this position until
Gen. Lees surrender, having in the
meantime been made Lieutenant Gen
eral. After the war Gov. Hampton
assumed a leading position in the
Democratic party in South Carolina,
and displayed great tact and Con-
servatism as leader. Two gears ago
he was elected Governor of that State
by small majority over Hon. d. l..
Chamberlain, and displayed both
firmness and discretion in maintain
ing his right to the executive chair, in
which he finally triumphed. In No
venber last Gov. Hampton was re-
elected Governor without opposition
Previous to his late accident he was a
man of great physical strength and
ineXhaustible energy. As speaker
he Is fluent, eloquent and logical.

EVENT and COMMENT
The grand lodge of Colored Masons

The grand lodge of Colored Masons
adjourned last Friday at Richmond
and selected To- the next annual SEES
sion. the 2ud Monday in December
1875 at I.yncLburg.
Dr. Harvey Black was on last FRI
day reelected Superintendent of the
Eastern Lunatic Asylum at Williams
burg. The board sat from Thursday
morning until O'Clock on Friday
morning. The contest was between
DIR. Black and DIR. r. A. Wise of VIM
DC Mary College and the vote stood
6 TO ). The Gov. lad recently APP
pointed the two new members Of the
board and the friends of DR.. Wise
declared they had one majority On the
board. The result did not verify
their expectations.
1t is believed, By persons likely to
know. that Congress will redoce the
tax on tobacco to 1G cents per pound.
Such action will do much to relieve
Virginia.
The rains of last week made an
other break in the canal above Lynch>
burg,
Gilman, who writes from Wash
ington for Dispatch says there are so
many Senators who are interested in
rail roads that the bill to prevent
determinations on the part of such
lines. is likely to pass that body.
This is both a pity and a shame.
Only Congress has power to reach
and remedy such evils.
Blaine made his bloody>shirt speech
in the Senate last week and Thurman
is said TO have used him up in his re-
ply. ConkIin sat at his desk and
wrote while Blaine was speaking.
The impression prevails that Blaine
did not fulfil the expectations of his
friends.
England seems to have a shorter
job With Afgauistan than Russia had
with Turkey. The Amer seems
anxious for peace on about any terms,
but Russia will come in for a word
after the Ameer's flag falls.
Gov Wade Hampton's leg was am
putateJ last week, and his condition
has been very critical both before
and since. Indeed his recovery is
hardly expected.

Our Richmond Letter.
RICHMOND, Dec. "A, 1873

>
The week has closed with very few
legislative developments. The State
debt is the all absorbing question, and
it seems conceded nothing can be
done excepting an organization look
ing to next years election. The Gov
ernor cannot be expected to abandon
his position which so far has been
held against the legislature. As his
veto has been impregnable this far, it
is TO be supposed he will veto again.
Nevertheless the readjusters seem uni
ted in pushing the Barbour bill to its
passage again, so as to give him an
other chance to veto, if he means to
veto still. The next legislature will
be under his veto, just as this one is,
but if public opinion stands firm, or
advances in favor of reclothing the
State with her lost sovereignty, it is
not doubted we can have a two-thirds
majority in each of the houses of the
Legislature to be elected next fall, for
both House and Senate are to be cleo
ted entire next year. If this be so
the veto will be worthless before that
body, and the Barbour Bill and the
School Tax Bill, and the License Tax
Bill will sail over the aforesaid veto.
There is one line of action advoca-
ted just now by good many men,
hers. 1t is alleged that an invitation
should be extended the Bondholders
to visit Richmond early in January,
SO that personal interview with them
may test the possibility Of negotiations
on the subject. Speaker Allen has in
troduced such a resolution, and it is
now before our Finance Committee.
There is a growing impression that if
such measure be resorted TO it should
be conducted by the Committees on
Finance, SO that the voice of the peo-
pie may be heard through their repre-
sentatives, and not alone through the
Governor. Some of our friends seem
rather unfavorable to the measure in
any shape, fearing it may result in
settlement at 4 per cent. A good
many others think that to push it to a
speedy trial will demonstrate that
peaceful negotiation is failure, and
thus clear the deck for action in the
next campaign. 1t is by no means
certain the measure will fail.

All its charms and power divine!

Youthful followers to its shrine.

Numbers KNOW her fascination,
All are lured by Beauty's mark.

EASTERN people cannot understand
how many crops are raised in Califor-
MIA without drop of rain falling up
on them. The principle is being ex-
emplified here. The dense fogs with
which the atmosphere is at all times
charged compensates in large meas
ure for the absence of moisture in
the surface stratum of the ground.
When plants cannot receive moisture
through their roots, nature has pro-
vided way. for them to absorb it
through their stems and leaves. So
in the present instance, the much
abused fogs are really proving the
salvation of our late crops as we'll as
"fall pasturage for focks and herds.
Judge not the Lord by feeble sense.
But trust him for his grace;
Behind frowning providence
He hides 4 smiling face"

ALTHOUGH we are not living in what
may be termed a peach country, yet it
may not be amiss to occasionally
warn interested mothers against al
lowing their little ones to break
peach-stones and eat the pits therein
contained. The Scientific american
records another victim of the peach
stone poison. A little child had
secreted few peach-sones, broken
and eaten the kernels and died in a
few hours. That all may under
stand the deadly nature of the poi
son in question, we will simply state
that it is identical with prussic acid.
Analytic chemists have found that
one ounce of peach kernels contain
fully one grain Of pure prussic acid;
quite enough to kill an adult. Let
these facts be remembered.
