. GOrernorship Gone A.Begging-COn'
stitutional Difficulty.

Hampton was elected Governor in rs;
he left the Governorship in December rs
and went to the Senate in Washington ,
Simpson his Lieutenant Governor then
became Governor. Now in December 10
he is Chief Justice-elect and will vacate
the Governorship August !, 1880, Senator
Jeter, the President pro tenn of the Son.
ate, will then become Governor, to
serve as such until the general election,
unless by death or promotion the office
BIO again vacated, in which case Mr..
Speaker Sheppard would be obliged TO
take up the Governorship. Beyond him
we cannot 60 in our hunt for successors
to the Governorship. Fortunately the
general election will almost certainly
come to our relief and furnish us
with a bona jide Govern or. Otherwise,
we suppose the sergeant at arms or the
clerks one after the other and then the
pages down to little Johnny Lake would
be tho order of succession to the Govern
orship,
We do not like to see the Govern orship
of South Carolina going a-begging. We
have found it difficult to forgive Hamp-
ton for leaving it and us in rs. Three or
four Governors in two years, and not by
death but by promotion this is not cal
culated to impress the people with the
dignity andhonorableness and Importance
of the Office Of Governor of South Caro-
lima. 1t is intended and by the peo-
pie regarded as something better and
higher than a mere stepping-stone to other
offices.
Contemplating President Jeter as Gov-
ernor in pyospectu, a constitutional diff
Guilty suggests itself. Section 26 Of u
Constitution says:
"In the government of this Common
"wealth the Legislative, Executive and
Judicial powers Of the Government
"shall be forever separate and distinct
"Jrom each other, and no person or per-
.'sons exercising the functions Of n of
"said departments shall assume or dis
"charge the duties Of any other"
Now, President Jeter is q Senator; as
such and by that right alone be exercises
the functions of the Legislative depart
ment. AS Governor pro tenn, he would be
assuming and "discharging'' the duties
of the Executive department. Can he do
50 constitutionaily? How can he divest
himself of his Legislative" character so
as to remove the obstacle in the way of
his assuming" the "Executive' charac-
ter?
This is q much more serious matter
than may at first sight appear. In 1880
the general and the presidential elections
takes place. Many important official acts
connected Herewith have to be done by
the Governor. Would their validity not
be questioned if done by Governor Jeter?
Would not all the official acts of Governor
Jeter be open to question? Let some one
learned in the law and the constitution
answer.

Aiken and the Press and Banner.

In q letter published in yesterdays
Ncws and Courier by Col. D. w. Aiken,
we find the following:
"Mv letter to the Ncws and Courier OF
the 9Th December from this city must
have created q sensation, Judging from
the editorials of the weekly press of the
State, and the letters pro and CON I have
received from the State. %Ipromiscd to

of reply for any OF them but the NeW-
berry Herald and Abbeville Press and
Banner.
"Iknow not the promptings that suggest

Scottish friend, look to your own skirts.
The people of South Carolina never have,
and, perhaps. never will, fail to locate me

or may occur"
It is unnecessary in Colonel Aiken to
try to signalize the Press and Banner for
having commented unfavorably on his
"new departure" letter. We are not
alone in our opposition to his views.
The press of the State almost unanl-
mously has condemned them. AS a Dem
ocratic press it could not do otherwise.
If Colonel Aiken desires to learn how his
advanced" position is regarded in South
Carolina, let him read the numerous eX-
tracts in Mondays NewS and Courier,
and he will lind therein flood for
thought"
AS a Congressman, however, he ought
to know hat it is supplementary to
impugn motives, and still more unpar-
liamentary to deal in personalities. AL
though a Congressman, he should he po-
lite.
AS to our "motive" and our "prompt-
ings,"-in our remarks on his letter we
were prompted by no higher motive
than simply to reflect faithfully the opin-
ions of his constituents.
AS to our town skirts,"-while we do
not think Colonel Aiken car %truthfully
say they are less clean than his own,
still, even if as soiled as those of the
average Congressman, they have nothing
whatsoever to do with tho matter in
question. AS a Congressman he should
know that the tn quoque style of argu-
ment is Of all styles the worst and weak
est.
It is a most remarkable thing that be-
cause we justly and fairly commented
or his most remarkable letter, we are
charged with desiring to bring him 'into
disrepute with the people of the State"
The people may not remember, but Col.
Aiken cannot have forgotten that the
Press and Banner has aided no little in
bringing him into good repute with the
people of the State; has never failed to
publish his speeches and letters when in
teresting, and give him due praise for
them just as We now give him the re-
verse of praise for his strange letter.
We leave it to the sclool-boys among
our readers to correct our Congressman's
grammar in the last sentence quoted
above.

Gary,s Attack on Hampton s.. What
Abbeyille Thinks OF 1t.

The recent attack by General Gary up
on Senator Hampton has been very gen.
orally discussed BY our people, and as far
as we have been able to learn the Gener-
al has injured himself in the public esti-
nation and has done Wade Hampton no
harm. Up to this outbreak the Gary
stock was somewhatimproving from two
causes. lst. His opposition to Hampton
was nearly lost sight of, and had been by
many forgotten. I'd. The unpopularity
of his competitor General Hagood had
made many of u citizens indifferent as
to either candidate. But this attack on
Senator Hampton has revived old hostili-
ties and unpleasant recollections of Cen
eral Gary, and in our opinion, has left
him not a vestige of a showing for sup
port in Abbeville County. General Ha-
goods prosecutions of our people and
General Gary's silence of late in reference
to Hampton had placed Abbeville in tho
prcdicament of having no man of her
choice in the field for Governor, and the
probability was, if Hampton had been let
alone, that General Gary might have re-
ceived at least a part Of the Abbeville
vote. But now we believe he stands not
the ghost Of a chance Of being supported
by the people of his native county. 1t is
to be regretted if General Gary has been
misled by the recent publication in the
New York Times Of its n de-
scription of Senator Hampton's recep-
ton at the Abbeville Fair. If these state
ments led him to believe this to be a pro-
pitious time to attack Hampton it GER
tainly was a great mistake-so far at
least as regards the people of Abbeville.
A man has only to offer an insult to
Hampton to find out how deeply and
abidingly he is fixed in their affections,
and to learn that they will resent any in
jury to him. They have a well-founded
faith in his good judgment and in his in
tegrity, as we'll as a belief in his desire
and ability to be a trusty guardian of the
peoples interests, and any assailant of
his will in Abbeville County receive a
Just rebuke. General Gary was a gallant
soldier in the war, and the country is in
debted to him for his distinguished ser
vices in the field, and is willing to accord
him al. the praise he justly merits; but
he will excite the strongest opposition
possible whenever he strikes Hampton.
Without adulation or hero-worship, the
people have a greater regard for Hamp-
ton than for any other living man, and
they will support no candidate who
thinks to recommend himself to their
sutfrages by antagonizing Hampton.

Col. Keitt does not expect the Demo-

nominate tho Grant ayard ticket. 1t is
the People. regardless of Party, whom
he invokes, This is just IS well. 1t
will not suit Democrats to nominate

any token of being unduly excited by

We Have Sinned.

The Register takes us severely to task
for having omitted to credit an extract in
u last weeks issue to our Columbia
contemporary. We do not wish to mis-
lead our readers, so we now inform them
that the "Negro's Attack on Hampton u
came from the Chicago Inter-O Ocean. into
the Detroit Free Press, was clipped
thereout by a friend Of the editor, and
printed by him in the Register, whence
we copied it. Col. Pope is entitled to all
the honor Of introducing the article to
the people Of South Carolina.

In u last issue, referring to the taxes
of the G%rcenville and Columbia Railroad,
u words were capable of a construction
injurious to the corporation. The taxes
spoken Of as not paid were those due be-
fore the road vas placed in the hands OF
a Receiver. 1t gives us pleasure, and it
is u duty to say, that Gen. Conner has
paid every tax, municipal, county and
State, due from the date Of his appoint
ment. Taxes due previously he cannot
pay without an order of Court.

word or lift his pen in reply to Gary.
It'll futile.in Gary to make these VIC
lent attacks on Hampton. Such a course
can only result in alternating from Gary
the small following which he may have
had. The people do not care though Gary
plays theiwoman and casts up in Hamp.
toms teeth old trifles about the war; they
do not care though Gary querulously and
almost tearfully says Hampton is angry
with me:"-'It is bitter prejudice and
hatred to me :"-''He has long hated me:'
-"I have always had his bitter and unre'
lenting opposition to carry, and I suppose
he will continue to keep me down until
he or I die" This may amuse but it does
not deeply interest the people. But they
do care for Hampton and will jealousy
guard his good name, and any man who
assails it need expect no support from
them. They will leave him to join the
army of the discontented-an army dis
tinguished for the great number of its Of
icers and the small number of its pri-
Yates.
We do not presume to advise Gen,
Gary, but we sincerely regret that he and
his friends should act as if he can rise on
~ on the ruin of others. Nor will it do
for him to play the martyr, and try to
shift the blame to Hampton. Hampton
is not perfect, for he is human and he in
suits divinity who expects perfection in
humanity. For example, Hampton erred
greatly, We think, when he took the trou.
blet TO reply to Gary's charges. We should
have preferred to see him treat them &C
cording to the wise Palmerstonian policy
of silence. But among Hampton's fault:
the people have failed to discover any.
