had been stationed by order of my
predecessor, in the immediate vicinity

known as the Mechanics Institute, a

I have thought proper to delay a dc-
Amtrican aid Imported Watches, Clocks, Jewelry, j cision of the question of their removal

Charleston, S. C., April 18.—This
day was observed as Washington’s
day, because the programme arranged
for February 22d bad to be postponed
in obedience to tha^xtraordinary
military order issued by President
Grant. Governor Hampton haviijg
been invited to participate in the
exercises, arrived at 6:45; a. m., and
was received at the Line street depot
by the military and a committee of
citizens, of which Co). B. II. Rutledjjfc
was chairman; nnd as the train wft
backing in, the Washington Artillery
greeted him with a deafening salutef.
Governor Hampton was escorted
to- the Charleston Hotel, where he
breakfasted with the merchants and
subsequently received hundreds-of
ladies and gentlemen who called to
pay their respects.
Business was suspended at 2 o'clock,

at Washington conceded that the
conduct of the people of this State
had averted trouble. Their destiny
now was in their own hands. They

and happiness to all the people of the

During a jubilee reception held by

Chicago, April 21,18?7.
To Gen. C. C. Augur, New Orleans:
Sir—By direction of the Lieuten-
nianity and in the lull consciousness
of his sovereign duty as the natural
protector of the Slavonian nations in
the East, has been compelled to re
solve on obtaining by force of arm®
such guarantees for his distressed
fellow believers on Turkish soil as
appear absolutely necessary for secur*
ing their future welfare. The mani
festo disavows the desire of conquest,
but will hold Bulgaria as a material
guarantee for reforms.
A special from Vienna to the Times
says that quite a panic reigns in Rou
mania about the Turkish invasion.
The Roumanian Government has ap
plied, in its extremity, to the Powers,
and it is becoming more pressing in
its demand to be saved from Circas
sians and Bashi Bazouks. They heve
also turned to the Tui’kish Govern
ment, remonstrating against the occu
pation of Roumania by Turkish troops.
The answer lias not been reassuring,
Turkey saying the passage of Turkish
troops to the Roumanian side would
depend on Turkish military affairs,
but that if this happens in consequence
of the entry of Russian troops the
Porte declines the responsibility for
Roumania being turned into the thea
tre of war.
A special dispatch from Vienna to
the Telegraph says that Roumania
cannot prevent the passage of the
Russian armies through her territory,
as she has vainly sought support to
do so from the Powers, but she can
and will vigorously abstain from
armed participation if Turkey does
not cross the Danube also ana will
herself occupy Kalafat with her own
troops and prevent the Russians get
ting that position, but if Turkey per
sists in its proposed action Roumania
will be compelled to cast her lot with
tlie only power capable of affording
her material protection against such
a terrible calamity. Roumania’s po
sition is one of critical and imminent
peril.
A Reuter from Bucharest has the
following: The Russian General and
conditions.'
prevailed.
THE PARADE
Was formed at the appointed hour
and in the following order:
Charleston Light Dragoons.
Washington Artillery.
Music.
Charleston Riflemen.
Sumter Guard.
Palmetto Guard.
Montgomery Guards.
Irish Rifle Chib.
Wagener Artillery.
Irish Volunteer Rifle Club.
Carolina Rifle Battalion.
Music.
German Fusiliers.
Washington Light Infantry.
The line was reviewed by the Gov
ernor on Meeting street, and the
command also passed in review before
him on South Battery, opposite
Church street
Tlie line of march was through
Broad to East Bay, down East Bay
to South Battery, and from thence
through Meeting, Hasel and King
streets to Calhoun.
The display was extraordinarily
fine ; indeed, it was a grand pageant.
Governor Hampton was attended by
Colonel Barker, General Capers,
General Moise, and others. His ap
pearance was the signal for ringing
cheers, showers of bouquets and
waiving of handkerchiefs.
At 8, p. m.,
qjHE ACADEMY OF MUSIC,
Was literally packed with the au
dience, every member of which freely
partook cf the spirit of tlie occasion.
As Governor Hampton took his seat,
he was subjected to a perfect torrent
of bouquets. After prayer by Rev.
Toomer Porter and the introductory
address of Capt. Courtney, the audis
ence rose to their feet and called for
Governor Hampton till he yielded.
He said this was not down in tlie
programme, and the call, therefore,
was unexpected. He considered it a
privilege to participate in the pro**
staff have left Kischeneff for Urgheni ceedings. By their unexampled con
and Sculcni. The cavalry force is I duct, South Carolina had written the
weight has b.en removed from this-
shoulders of the people, and they
feel as joyful as birds on tlie wing.
Hampton is a guarantee of home rule
and reform. These latter have cre
ated a new spirit within the people,
and called into existence a day that
shall grow brighter and brighter.
God bless South Carolina, and give
to her people all that can make them
prosperous, happy and powerful.

Au Interesting lilt of Personal Correspondence—
Charles Franris Adams to Samuel J. Tllden.
Washington, April 17.—The fol
lowing letter is now made public for
the first time. As will be seen it was
written on the day of the inaugura
tion of President IIayes:
Boston, March 5, 1877.
Hon. S. J. Tildcn, New Y’ork:
My Dear Sir—On this day when
you ought to have been President of
the United States I seize tlie oppor
tunity to bear my testimony to the
calm and dignified manner in which
you have passed through this great
trial. It is many years since I ceased
to he a party mail. Hence I have
endeavored to judge of public affairs
and men rather by their merits than
by tlie name they take. It is a source
of gratification to me to think that I
made tlie right choice in ’the late elec
tion. I could never have been recon
ciled to the elevation, by the.smallest
aid of mine, of a person however re
spected, in private life, who must for
ever carry upon his brow the stamp
of fraud, first triumphant in American
history. No subsequent action how
ever meritorous -can wash away the
letters of that record. Very respect
fully yours,
Charles Francis Adams.
« Sir,’’ said an okl judge to young
lawyer, “ you would do well to pluck
some of the feathers front the wing of
your imagination, and stick tkctn in
the tail of your judgment.’’ 1
