OFFICE GENEnAL,
COLUMBIA, S. c., December 1S, 1880.

OFFICE CoMPTRoLLER-G GENERAL,
COLUMBIA, S. g., December IL, 1880.
To His Erceliency johnson Hagood, Governor:
Sin-I beg leave herewith 10 tender my resig-
nation of the Office of comptroller. general of the
State of South Carolina. In resgning the Office
to which have been elected and into which l
have been recently installed, feel il due to N.Y.
self, as we'll as to the people who placed me
there, to state the reasons which move me TO do
so.
While not personally favoring the nomination
of general ticket ia June, il was my fortune
TO be placed upon the State ticket by the unani-
nous voice Of the Democrat, Convention which
met at Columbia ut that time. Within one short
month thereafter, while engaged in an earnest
endeavor to discharge faithfully the duties
which had been previously imposed upon me,
and feeling as thought just pride in having
done so with honor TO myself, | was suddenly
striken down by an unforeseen misfortune.
have never felt that could blame myself for
any carelessness in the management of my office
| as special commissioner. Yet the fact that q
loss did occur in that Office was q source of deep
modification and distress to ME.
The modification and distress was increased
by the manner in which Il he information Of the
larceny was conveyed to me.
rejoice and shall ever be thankful that the
discovery was made in time for the facts to be
ascertained, and that no imputation can ,est
upon my character.
! cannot but regret, however, that it had not
been sooner and in different manner brought
| to my attention.
The extent Of the loss to the State being un-
known and supposed 10 be large, naturally crea-
ted an alarm in the public mind. 1t was impos-
sbe to place the public in possession of the
facts in anticipation Of trial in the court
Under these circumstances IL was thought by
some that my name would be n load upon the
Democratic party in the heated canvass which
was then anticipated in the State.
Had the executive committee possessed the
power TO fill my place without the call of a con-
vention, and could have honorably withdrawn
my name would unhesitatingly have done so.
The call of q convention in my opinion would
have tended 10 q disorganzation Of the party in
the State, and the best interests of the people
would have been placed in jeopardy.
In this emergency, while expressing 10 the
executive committee my inability to make good
the loss to the State. I assumed the loss and
agreed tRrdevote the labor of my life, IL neces-
sary, tons liquidation rather than hazard the
welfare Of the PeoplE -

the facts were made known BY an Investigation
into the whole matter, that b generous people
would not permit q public seryept 10, be .haae

not to blame.
My expectation has not been disappointed.
The generous action Of the, General Assembly
has tins day placed ii within my power to honor
ably resign my position and remit TO the repre-.

Hayes and she Third Torn.

A special despatch from Washington
to the Baltimore "Gazette" says !:
"President Hayes does not believe in O

President or not. Hs said to-day Il
think there should be an amendment
to the Constitution providing for
term Of six years, with prohibition
against a second election. When Com
gress and the executive are not in politi-
cal accord it takes up nearly four years
for them to get together so as to work
with entire success, and about the time
they do begin to approach one another
a breach Is created by the desire Of the
Congress to make one president and the
executive to make another--sither him
self or some friend. Even when Cou-
grsss and the president are Of the same
political party legislation is often regar'
ded by the differences between them
about who is to succsed him or who are
to control the patronage. One term OF
six years would avoid material part
