HAMPTON IN WASHINGTON.
"A IouchinE and Impressive Scene In the
senate when tho Great man Of South
Carolina Took his Seat.

WASHINGTON, April II.
1he arrival of Senator Hampton. of
south Carolina, yesterday, Tas tile occa-
SION or all manner of expressions of
kindness and good will towards him.
for he has thousands of friends and ad-
mirers in Washington. The welcome &C
corded him Is not only that shown an H.
iustrious statesman or renowned soldier.
but such rs Is deserved by n man who
adds to sound sense and true bravery a
patriotism which makes him utterly for
get sell in his all-absorbing desire to do
good tor his country and his fellow men.
AS | heard well-known Virginian put it
to-day, Wade Hampton had rather the
people would believe, as they do, that
he tries to do his whole duty faithfully
than to be regarded as the greatest of liv-
ing men," Your correspondent felt glad
that he had at last come, because the
South wants practical statesmen in Con-
grcss who will make the most of things as
they are and not as they ought to be, nc
cording to some Bourbonic theory of the
past. When he was sworn in the vast
crowd in the gallery watched the pro.
ceedings with an interest more intense
than has been yet exhibited when the
oath was administered to any other SEN
ator. lie was somewhat pale, and showed
that lie had suffered great deal during
his affection, and every man and woman
in the Senate Chamber looked ready to
pray that he might be made strong again
for the good of the people, not ONLY Of
South Carolina, but Of the whole land.
The South has right to be proud of her
representative statesman, for he is
Brave Knight, and true, rs ever drew

The South Carolina delegation met
Governor Hampton at the depot and es-
corted him to his quarters on Capitol
Hill, near the Senate Chamber. He
subsequently went to the Senate, and was
sworn in. The South Carolina members
already seem strengthened by his pres.
ence, for during all his illness they
seemed more concerned about mis- re-
covery than if he had been allied to them
by the strongest ties of blood. They be-
lieve, rs 10, that change of climate
and scene will benefit him, if he is not
tempted into working beyond his
strength.-NcUs and Courier.

The Republicans charge the Demo
Gratis with election frauds, and by packed
juries and false witnesses they have sue
cceded iii convicting some of the accused
parties, but their course ia not likely to
meet the approval of the American peo-
pie, for on no account will they ever
consent to have The courts Of Justice con-
verted into engines of oppression OF
machines for grinding out political cap
ital. If every Democrat in South Caro-
lima had cheated in the last election, the
consequences of the offence would have
been little compared to the evils likely
to flow from the perversion of the courts
of justice of which the Republicans are
guilty. Whatever may be said of the
election cases, their force for the Repub-
licans will be oversliadowed by the reck-
less crime of the Republicans in attempt
ing to procure convictions even at the
expense of polluting the very fountains
Of justice. Convictions under the cir
cumstances cannot be To- red upon by
fair men rs any more than IA exhibition
of the dangerous power which is pos
sessed by the Republican party which
controls the Federal Courts, and of the
reckless and violent use which that party
has made Of its control.

Revised Statutes of the United States.
which practically place the juries of the
Federal Courts iii the South and the bal
lot-boxes of the whole country under the
control Of the Federal government thus
giving to the party in power the oppor-
tunity of controlling the elections and
making the Federal Courts huge politi.
cal machines for party success and op-
preston. In South Carolina we knew
what it is to have our people murdered,
and the murderers wrested from the State
authorities and set Mt liberty without

troops, marshals, deputy marshals and
supervisors mean at the polls on the day

Speaker Randall has been very partial
i'll the appointment Of his committees in
the House of Representatives, and by
his course has shown that the objections
urged to him by his opponents were
mere than electioneering dodges. Not
that the appointments made are in them
selves bad, but that they have been made
through inexcusable partiality and pre-
judice. For instance, he has failed to
give single Craftsmanship to the State
of South Carolina, although every pre-
cedcnt would have made Col. Aiken
chairman of the Committee OH Agricul-
turc, position for which our Rcpresen-
tative is eminently qualified. We advo-
Gated the election of Mr. Randall, and
still think it was best for the Democratic
party that he was elected, but we must
condemn the prejudice which hc has
evinced in the formation of his commit
tees. He has, to say the least of it, done
himself poor honor.

undermining the State. After referring
to the recent murderous attacks npo1
