The Governor Congratulated.

The Columbia correspondent of tho
News and Courior says: Gov. McSwee-
ney has received great many letters
and kilograms congratulating him upon
his success and tho handsome majority
received in tho State, and he is very
much gratifled at the strong endorse
mont given him by tho people of South
Carolina in the face of such bittor and
violent opposition.
Among the humorous letters received,
short extracts arc made from o few Of
thcm, which indicate tho tenor of tho
communications. Gov. McSweoney has
endcavorcd to answer personally each
ono of his friends who havo been kind
enough to sond thoir good wishes, but in
case ho has failed to acknowledge re-
coipt of shy lotters ho desires to thus
publicly oxpross his thanks for the inter-
est his friends have takon.
The following is an extract from let
tor received from gentleman in the up
country: 81 doubt if thore has evor boon
hardor fought race in tho State; it is
especially pleasing to mo to hear SO
many of our friends here expross their
approval OF tho high plane on which you
conducted your campaign through so
many trials"

who is prominent in politics, says: "Ac-
copt my sincere congratulations upon

bincd powers that attempted your do
@ 7 Nf
that maintained so dignified and respect
full domoanor under tho most extraor-
dinary TRADE Q: slander hcaped upon
any official head. Tho newspaper arti-
cles soothing with malico, falsohood and
hato, coupled with other accusations of
every known dovico and from little less
public channels than tho press, wcro
calculated to bring about retorts that
| would have bcen woll deserved. But
am glad to say that through all the storm
you never once forgot that you were tho
trusted lcador of noble pooplo and in
every instance of temptation your action
was becoming Of our Governor and you
gained respect and consideration by such
forbearance as you maintained under OK
trcmc E:ovocation."
A gentleman writes from Charleston ::
"Iour nomination is we'll deserved
seal of approval for your excellent
| course rs Governor, and is a matter Of
| lively satisfaction to your friends in
Charleston, who, despite reflection of
some of tho other side, can be loyal for
the sake only of loyalty and not because
i
been Sc non truly and unrcasonably
| charged. We look for continued sue
coss i'll your administration and fur
thcr promotion of the good fecling you
have fosterod throughout the State"
A gentleman, who formerly lived in
Hampton county, but now resides in
Oconcc, has written tho following to tho
| Governor: "You have done so much to
promote the welfare, particularly of the
young men of Hampton county, whether
at home or abroad, that l for one feel
perhaps you would appreciate recipro-
cal word Of encouragement and good
will with which you have SO often fol-
lowed us. do not doubt that as you
have ever been loyal to the young men
of our common county you will watch
carefully the interests of tho young mon
of our beloved State and upon whom tho
responsibilities of the future must rcst."
Gov. McSwccney feels particularly
proud Of tho support given him Ivy his
newspaper friends, and wants to thank
