Governor IEampton's letter is rs follow:
OAKLAND, s. c., February "a, 1879.
Wy Der Sir: In rendering, as now do, my
resignation as Governor of South Carolina, it
is proper that should give tho reasons which
have caused nc to postpone doing so un-
til the present time. When the General Assem-
bly, did me the honor to elect me United States
Senator there were some official acts which, it
was supposed could be properly discharged only
by myself. proposed, therefore, to resume
Executive authority for few days to perform
those duties but my health has never permitted
r,c to do So and the recent decision of the Su
preme Court renders it unnecessary for me to
take any action in this matter. | can therefore
now resign without any prejudice to the State
or any embarrassment to myself, and in doing
so feel that | commit the Executive authority
to one in every way worthy and competent to
WELD it.
1t will always be q source Of pride and graft.
fcation to me to recall my official connection
with yourself and with the other officers of
State. We have been in perfect accord on all
the great public questions which have agitated
the State, and our personal relations have been
those of the closest friendship. In servcring
my connection with them officially, beg to cx-
press my great obligations to them. and my ear
nest wishes for their prosperity and success.
To the people OF Sonth Carolina who have
done me such undcscrvcd honor in the past,
who have sustained me with such unfaltcring
confidence, and who have manifested towards
ME. during my late illness, an affection never
surpassed, have no words by which adequate
ly to express my gratitude. l can only premise
to devote whatever Of life and ability God may
grant me to their service, only asking them to
remember that | have never solicited office Mt
their hands. and if ] fail in the new sphere to
which they have elevated mo, it will be my mis-
fortune but not my fault. They have placed me
there. and it shall be my earnest effort to prove
myself worthy of their confidence Thanking
them profoundly for their kindness to me and
invoking on them the choicest blessings of God,
[ am, with great respect, very truly yours,
WADE HAMPTON.

The triangular contest for Governor
of California is the most exciting that
has occurred in the Golden. State for
years. Party lines appear to be wholly
ignored. Prominent Republicans advo-
cate the election Of Glsnn, and some
small fry Democrats signify their inten-
aon TO vote for Perkins. White, out
side of San Francisco, has very small
following, and it now looks as If he
would be badly distanced in the race
Phe corporations aud their organs look
.kpon the Workingmen's candidate as
All auxiliary and occasionally mention
his name approvingly for the purpose
Of keeping HIM in the field. The fight
is between Glenn and Perkins, but as
the greater part Whites supporters
would probably vote for Glenn if White
should withdraw, it is prudent TO give
him little encouragement. No sane
person believes that he WILDE elected,
but unfortunately the maieyity of his
followers are afflicted with. the -kearney
craze. With White in the field, the
night is interesting, lively and iieubtful.
The San Francisco papers, with the ex-
ception Of the Chronicle and Examiner,
are all for Perkins. but they were also
against the New Constitution, yet that
instrument was adeptediby abont H.
600 majority. The election takes place
ON the first Wednesday in September,
-four weeks from to-day-and the in
locations are more favorable for the
election. of Glenn than they were for
the adoption of the New Constitution
four weeks before the election last May.

TanMAxr ON Tag wAR-PATH.

The Tammany Hall Democrats OF
New York City are opposed to the re-
nomination of Tilden for President or
Lucius Robinson for Governor OF New
York. The Evening Express, the
organ OF the Tam1aanyites, declares
emphatically that it will bolt the ticket
if Robinson, the present Governor OF
New York, is renominated. Robinson
is said to be the first choice of great
majority Of country Democrats, and
they dislike to throw him overheard at
the dicts.ion OF Tammany. He has
made an efficient and conservative Gov
ernor OF the Empire State, but he has
been taking an active part in breaking
ND the society in New York City, which
made such person as BOSS" Tweed
possible, and which for years not only
countenanced,. but encouraged. sys-
TEN of plundering by officials in New
York City, equal to that pfacsiced by
the Naval, Indian, Whisky and Wash
ington City rings under Grant 8 a DUNN
istration. One OF the reasons why Rob-
inson is so popular in New York State
is because. of his contempt for Tam
many Hail. His Administration is con-
ceded to be able and honest by Repub-
licans, as well as Democrats, and it will
be an unfarorable augury for Tilden,
who is a political as well as personal
friend Of Robinson, if the State Con-
vention, which shortly meets to NOM
mate a, candidate for Governor, is
frightened by the threats OF Tsmmany,
