Hnde HabipSsa's FaaoWeii.

THAI was . noble and impressive
appeal made in the Senate by Wade
II@mptoa, IF South Caroline, he
urged upon the country the fatality
Of any such partisan measure as the
force bill, upon the indisputable
ground that IL would injure the very
race it was designed 10 protect. That
speech was a notable one, mob only
bess..sa Il woe sise Hast one dsliyersd
Wade Hamptofsin the Senate
chamber, but because Of the man
who uttered the words. when Gen.
Hampton went before, the people ;of
South Carolina for Governor in 1875
he made no sectional appeal. He
asked for ~suffnages Of white aud
black ALIKE One Of the features of
that campaign was tho formation Of
colored Democratic clubs. for bripg-
ing out'the Black ballot and enlisting
the colored man in behalf Of good
home government. Thousands of
negroes in that campaign voted for
Hayes and Hampton Gen. Hamp,
ten proved himself true to 'aii b
promises and showed himself in the
best sense, Governor of the whole
people. He has been one IF tho
most liberal and conservative Of
Southern statesmen and his testi-
mony as to the ernptiness Of any
force bill was one Of the most valuae
bic contributions to the debate.
This was practically Senator
Hamptcn's farewell to the Senate
1t ID no less memorable and upon no
less vital a subject than when Sena.
tor Mason read Calhoun's farewell
address on slavery in March, 1860.
He declared what every man in
South Carolina knows to be true and
what is to his eternal credit, that he
had never been q candidate for office
except at the urgent solicitation of;
his people. Senator Hampton's words
were those of a statesman. His
familiar figure and wise counsel will
be missed in the Senate. He pos
sessed in an eminent degree those
qualities which Senator Hoar declared
mark the Southern man--"an aptuess
of command which makns the South.
ern gentleman whereve he goes, not
q peer only, but a prince. They
have a love of home; they have. the
best of them, and the most of them,
Inherited from the great race from
which they come, the sense Of
duty, tho instinct of honor as no
other people on the face of the earth.
They are lovers of home. They
have not the traits that grow
up somewhere in places where money
making is the chief end of life. They
have, above ALL, and giving value to
all, that supreme and superb con-
stancy which, without regard to per-
sonal ambition, without yielding to
the temptation of wealth, without
getting tired and without getting
diverted, a pursue a great public
object in and out, year after year
and generation after generation."-

expected. The city FIRE alarm telegraph
system was damaged and had to be thrown
completely out Of service. No circuit,
which is a very important one, was
burned out and some of the apparatus Of
the police station was damaged so as to
render tine other circuits useless for the
time being This accounts for the entire
system being out of order on the Fourth
Of July.
Firemen, policemen and the entire city
department usually consider the Fourth
Of July an important day and make
special preparations to meet the exiQen-
cies Of fires and disturbances ON that
day, but this new political appointee
prefers to make special preparation to
explain why the fire alarm system was
not In working operation on the most
important day in the year.
Is not In working order
now. It would be interesting to have Mr..
Pierson explain what portion OF the fire
alarm system was burned out, the boxes,
cable or repeater, that the entire system
should be out Of order from Friday night
until now. II there are dozen boxes
burned out and the cable or the repeater
remains intact, either one could readily
be put out OF service AZ. once, and the
balance Of the system would be in work
ing order. Why, when No. 2 circuit
was burned out, II such were the case,
did not Mr.. Pleraon disconnect the

know this, or has he managed, since
