columbia Special Dec. y TO Chicago Times. |
For several days past the most alarming ru-
mors have been current on the streets regard
ing the condition of Gov. Hampton, but in
consequence of the reticence of his physicians
and members of his family nothing positive
could be obtained until to-day. His critical
condition has become known and his serious
affection is the sole topic of conversation on
the streets and in families. Everybody feels
that his death would be loss to South Caro-
lima at this juncure of political affairs which
would be incalculable. He has gradually
grown worse since his accident, and now
it is a question OF life and DEATH which
will be decided in a few days. While
some physicians advised amputation, others
hoped to save his leg. Gov. Hampton himself
opposed amputation, but erysipalas having set
in anputation will hardly save him. Last
night an eminent surgeon from Charleston and
another from Augusta, Ga, were summoned in
consultation with the local physicians and
Their opinion of the Governors condition is
very unfavorable. The opinion prevails that
his death from his wound is inevitable, and a
feeling of deep gloom pervades the whole COM
munity. The ministers in all the churches of
the city made public announcement Of his
serious illness, and union prayer meeting was
held tonight to supplicate Almighty God 'sto
let pass from our lips this bitter cup" The
Governor is a man of remarkable constitution
but in sadness it is believed that he will not
recover from this affection

Here Gen. Miles took occasion to sllude to the
present policy of the Indian bureau. The In
dian country was districted off, and each Sec
ton allotted to some Christian denomination.

In every respect. He can procure evidence

are dissatisfied with their agents. They are not
treated fairlysor honestly. All the Indians
have at Keogh implore me not to send them back
to their agencies. They say they were starved

are constantly leaving their agencies. The

General Miles is probably more thoroughly
acquainted with the Inian character than any
officer in the United States army. He is tho
most successful Indian fighter of the decade,
and unites into his character of an energetic
and successful warrior, that of humane
captor. He believes the Indian anne
nable to just and firm control,
and in the course of nature
will advance beyond that stage of supervision.
He is thoroughly at home upon ''the subject

Louis yesterday, City Marshal Carpenter took
possession to-day of the market house, the

all the city records contained therein, and con-

protested against the proceeding, but offered
no resistance, leaving his Office quietly when
Marshal Carpenter directed him to. The mayor
issued a proclamation this evening reciting the
act of the city marshal, appealing to the citi-
zens to preserve peace, and stating he would
take legal means to reinstate himself in the
city building, and announcing that in the
meantime his Office and those of the city clerk
and other officers will be in building on the

results of the imbrogolio between the mayor
and the general law council on one side and the
charter council on the other, which prevailed
and caused so much trouble last summer.
