EX-GOy. John Peter Richardson.

Very few Governors of South Carolina, af-
ter their terms Of Office have expired, will
carry into their retirement more kind, de.
voted, and affectlonate consideration than
will Ex-Governor Richardson.
To q naturally tender, generous, and hu-
name heart, has been added all the quail
ties of temper and disposition which high
social training further elerates and adorns
No one who during his term of office has
been brought into personal or official COM
failed to experience the magnetic influence
inevitably inspires. There is confidence
course which it is impossible to resist.
Hence his popularity is and has been i'm
measurably superior to any of his prede-
cessors, not excepting Hampton himself, of
whom be is the peer.
He belongs to class of patriots and
statesmen that South Carolina can lily afford
to retire, and We trust he will be placed in a
position that his high character and virtues
entitle him to.
We are sure that we but voice the senti-
ments of the majority when we say that we
regret the causes that make it necessity to
change SO popular, faithful, and accomplish
ed Chief Executive after having afforded
so much satisfaction in the two terms he has
served the Common wealth with honor to
himself and to the illustrious ancestry from
which he comes.
Our best wishes attend Governor Richard
son, who has likewise been strong person
al friend of ours. He can always count
upon US. and upon very strong constltu-
ency of the low-country, where birth, edu-
cation, and the Christian graces are rec ON
mendations, to support him in all his future
aims and ambitions.
He deserves the well done Of the whole
State.

Ex-Governor Richardson's Departure.

Ex-Governor John Peter Richardson left
Columbia yesterday afternoon for his old
home in Clarendon county. He was called
upon before leaving by large number OF
ladies and gentlemen who wished to pay
their respects to him rs he was about to
leave US.
It seems like losing one of our old citi-
zens to have Governor Richardson 60 ont
from among US. For the past eight years
he has been II resident of our city, having
served two terms rs State Treasurer and
two terms as Governor, and during that pc
riod of time he has won q warm place in
the hearts Of Columbians by the general
affability of his manners and the easiness
with which he could be approached by the
humblest as well as the highest in station,
and in his retirement to private life he will
carry with him the best wishes of the peo-
pie of our city Columbia Register, Dec. 6.
