DEATH OF WADE HAMPTON. JR.

Major Wade Hampton, Jr., son of
Senator Wade HAMPTON, of South
Carolina, died on Monday. at his
-plAasstion, in Washington County.
Miss, of malarial disease known as
hematuria, after an illness Of only
few days. He is survived by a young
wife, to whom he had been married
but short time.
Although overehadowed in fame
and reputation by his fathers dis
tinction as soldier and civilian,
Major Hampton had likewise an honor'
able record worthy ofhis family name.
The Hamptons Of South Carolina are
descended from General Wade Hamp-
ton, of the Revolutionary army, who
was the grandfather of Senator
Hampton. The father Of the latter,
Colonel Hampton, was an aide de-
camp on the staff Of General Jackson
at the battle Of New Orleans. The
mother of Major Hampton was
daughter of General F. P. Preston, Of
Virginia. OF the four children borne
by her he was the cnly survivor, a
younger brother Captain Thomas
Preston Hampton) having been kill
ed in 1864 in the action at Burgess.

interest.
Tne following narrative is the re-
sa.t OF my application, and must be
understood as presenting only the
substance Of his replies to my numer'
Gus inquiries.
THE CAMPAIGN OF 1880.
Senator Hampton said that, IN the
absence Of all his papers, and after
so long lapse OF time, great many
details must have escaped his memo
rv and he could, therefore, only give
the general facts as ftr as he coulc
reccllect them. regret exceedingly
he confirmed. that these question:
concerning the Tilden matter hav
been rtoiened. l can see no goo'
that can arise from the discussion a
y tine when the Democratic party
South Carolina requires to be unite
in order to be successful. My pos
tion with reference to its duty an
interest has been that all the gentle
men who had been nominated, elthf
for Governor or for any other otilc
for the next canvass should hay
their names fairly brought beto
the public and presented to the 70
vention. The duty of selecting tt
standard bearers would devole up
that Convention and its action shou
be binding. I have not expressed
public any preference for any man Il.
the State 10 fill any particular oth
and have only indicated, in genel
terms, my views, that we should hi
to the policy which was so success
in 1876. 1t Is no longer an expf
mental one; it is the only one tt
has ever carried the State-the o.
one that could have carried 1T, q
is tie only cne that carr 1t IN
ture.
TWO WAYS TO CARRY THE STATE.

palpable to every sensible man
there are but two ways to carry
election. The first is to secure emo
of these col9red votes-as we dl'

press that majority by fraud,

can be no question, notonly as to
duty, but the wisdom OF choosing

and dining with the colored brothers
and sisters, Ireplied as nearly as I can
remember, that "if he had said hat
I was doing anything to lower the
standard. of,the, Democracy he had
said what was impertinent and un-
true" II he had not intended to
make those reflections, be could have
disclaimed them, which he never did.
The people of Greenville had realiz
ed that Gen. Gary had done much
harm to our party, and through the
chairman of the executive committee
wrote to me to go there and endeavor
to correct the injury, which I did.
THE REPUBLICAN PROPOSITION TO
SELL OUT CHAMBERLAIN.
In farther evidence Of the fidelity
with which we sustained the Demo
cratic party, 1 may relate, what has
never before been published, that
when Judges Denny and Settle (Re-
publicans) were in Columbia and the
question of the recognition of our
government was in agitation, they
said to me at one time that If l
would, OIL any public occasion, say
that I thought the State had been
carried for Hayes, the troops would
be removed and I would be recognlz
ell. Ny reply at once was that i
would not do so to be made President
of the United States, but that if those

A western editor, whose style OF
writing was calculated to arouse people
to deeds of gore, being himself not much
on tho muscle, found it necessary to keep
a fighting editor, and he had aspeak'ng'
tube conhected with the healer's room
to call him when danger required. Ono
day gentleman whom the editor had
referred to as "a cross.eyed drOmedary"
came in to request o correction, and as
tho fighting editor was out, he didn'J
respond to the signal of distress, and
while tho editor and his visitor were on
the floor under the desk, the former
agreed to correct the mistake, and the
irate man left. Pretty soon a gentleman
from the rural districts came in to give
the editor big squash and get notice,
and about that time the fighting editor
returned, and boy in his room told him
that the boss wanted help.
The man of war was quick to respond,

and Nineteenth Punjaub Infantry alike
Joined. The effect of this concentrated
fire was terrible; men and horses rolled
over in the widest confusion, and our
cavalry, relieved from the pressure from
behind, exrrlcated themselves from
their foes and fell upon the head of the
column, driving it back through the
square, and the crisis was ove1s Stub
bornly as the Ghuznee infantry fought
they could not Withstand the terrible
fire opposed to them, aud they, too. fell
back, leaving the plain thickly Strewn
with their dead. Col. Til!ows, with
his heavy guns, had meantime SUCCESS
fully defended the baggage, pouring
she'll into the enemy, who momentarily
threatened to make q serious attack
upon it, but the artillery fire and that
poured in by the rifles of Baxter's Brig
ade, who were in charge of the baggage,
prevented them from carrying their in
tention in to effect. As the enemy fell
back Col. Mclean, with the First Punjaub
Cavalry dashed off in pursuit, and fall
ing upon mass who were gathered upon
an eminence on, our right, scattered
them completely. The battle was now
won on all sides but for time victory
had been doubtful, aud had the whole
of tbs enemy's force been thrown. upon
us 1t the critical moment the conse-
ouence would have been verHSerlous.
As it Is the victory was complete and
crushing, and blow has been inflicted
upon the Afghans from which they will
be long ere they recover. Their losses
are at least two thousand killed and
wounded, and the plains are literally
strewn with their slain. The British
casualties amounted to l47 killed and
wounded. No officers were killed, but
eigL. were woraded, including Young,
of the Nineteenth Bengal Lancers, dan
geronsly, and Lawson seriously. The
effect of the defeat upon the enemy was
at once shown by a cessation Of all
