At II o'clock, on April II, 1877,
Chamberlain left the State house,
never to return.
According to their agreement.
Gov. Hampton sent his private secre-
tary, the late Maj. Wade Hampton
iManning, to meet c. ]. Babbitt,
Chamberlain's private secretalj, at
the executive office at noon on April
II, 1911, when the great seal of

installed in Office.
The Columbia Phoenix. published
by the late Julian P. Shelby, issued a
one-page extra on April 10, 1877, to
chronicle the evacuation of the State
house by the United States troops.
The leading editorrai IN the cNrIa.

Promptly, while the bell was
striking 10, the troops marched ont
the east door of the State house and
wonded their way toward the bar
racks in the eastern part Of the city.
Gov. Hampton had stationed persons
at the various entrances to the State
house square to request people not
to pass in, consequently scarcely any
one was to be seen inside, and but
few were standing around outside to
witness the departure. No hurrahlng
or any demonstration Of any kind
was made, and all passed off as quiet
ly as possible for movement to be
made. About five months ago the
troops took possession of the State
house at the dead hour of night To-.
