Inauguration of Governor Wade
Hampton.
The inauguration of Governor Wade
Hampton took place in front of Caro
lina Hall. The square in front of the
Hall was denBely paoked with persons
of both races, and the house-tops were
covered with spectators. At 3:30 P. M.
Hampton was escorted to the staud
amid demonstrations of great enthusi
asm. The members of the General As
sembly occupied the space immediately
surrounding the stand, with the crowd
in tho rear. Gen. Hampton then read
his inaugural address, of whioh the
following is an extract:
Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives :
It is with feelings of the pro-
foundest solicitude that I assume the
arduous dutieB and grave responsibili
ties of the high position to which the
people of South Carolina have called
me. It is amid events unprecedented
in tbia Republic that I take the chair
as Chief Magistrate of this State. In a
time of profound peace, when no legal
officer had been resisted in the proper
discharge of his functions, we have
witnessed a spectacle abhorrent to ey-
ery patriotic breast, and fatal to Repub
lican institutions—Federal troops used
to promote the success of a political
party. Undismayed, though shocked
by this gross violation of the Constitu
tion of the country, our people with a
determination that no force can subdue
and no fraud could defeat, kept steadi
ly and peacefully in the path of duty,
resolved to assert their rights, ns Amer
ican freeman, at the ballot-box—that
great court of final resort, bofore whioh
was to be tried the grave questions of
the supremacy of tho Constitution and
the stability of our institutions.
What the verdict of tho people of
south Carolina lias been you need not
oe told. It has reverberated throughou)
the State, and its echoes come back to
us from every land where liberty it
venerated, declaring in terms that can
not be mistaken, that standing on the
constitution of our country, we pro
pose to obey its laws; to preserve, as
tar as in us lies, its pence and honor,
and to carry out, in good faith, every
pledge made by us for reform and hou-
, government. We intend to prove
to the world the sincerity^ our declar
ation that the sole motive. which in
ured the grand contest we have so
successfully made, was not the paltry
ambuion for party supremaev, but the
acred hope oi redeeming our State,
ut it was sought to wrest the fruits of
ms victory, by a gigantic fraud, and a
ase conspiracy, when the members
ho General Assembly repaired
l e Capitol to take their seats, armed
J„f ler8 of the Federal Government
canted them, and their certificates
nJ* i t'°n were examined and passed

self (ii:, by the popular vote, had him-

. to <. m y.position as the Chief
nte of this Commonwealth to
placo on record my solemn and indig
nant protest against a case which I
consider as subversive of civil liberty
and destructive of our form of govern
ment. A great task is before the Con
servative party of this State. They
entered on this contest with a platform
so broad, so strong, so liberal that
every honest citizen could stand upon
it. They recognized and accepted the
amendments of the Constitution in
good faith. They pledged themselves
to work reform, and to establish local
government. They promised to keep
up an efficient system of publio educa
tion, and they declared solemnly that
all citizens of South Carolina, of both
races, and of both parties, should be
regarded as equals in the eye of the
law; all to be fully protected in the
enjoyment of every political right now
possessed by them.
To the faithful observance of these
pledges we stand committed, and I, as
the representative of the Conservative
party, hold myself bound by every
dictate of honor and of good faith to
use every effort to have these pledges
redeemed fully and honestly. Let us
show to aU of them that the true inter
ests of both races can best be secured
by cultivating peace and promoting
prosperity among all classes of our fel
low-citizens. I rely confidently on the
support of yie’members of the General
Assembly in my efforts to attain these
laudable ends, and I trust that all
branches of the Government will unite
cordially in this patriotic work. If so
united and working with resolute will,
and earnest determination, we may
hope again to see the dawn of a bright
er day for our State. God, in His infin
ite meroy, grant that it may come
speedily, and may He shower the
richest blessings of peace and happ ! ness
on our whole people.
At the close of the address, the oath
of office was administered by Trial
Justice Marshal, to Gen. Hampton as
Governor, and to W. D. Simpson as
Lieut. Governor, the crowd standing
unoovered while the ceremony was
being performed.
The chair in which Gen. Hampton
was seated was then wrapped in the
national colors, and he was borne on
the shoulders of a dozen men to his
hotel, escorted by the entire crowd.
Several prominent men addresped the
multitude from the front of the hotel,
the Congressional Committee occupy
ing a prominent position on one of the
balconies, after which the crowd quietly
dispersed.
Governor Grover.
Governor Grover, of Oregon who j ust
now is tiie object of radical vituperation,
is a man who will hoar examination.
He is a different sort of person from
the returning board material of the
South. His father. Dr. Grover, was a
prominent man in Maine, and the
future governor of Oregon was trained
in the school of strict constructionisfs
Gov. LaFayette F. Grover was born in
Oxford Maine’ graduated at Bowdion
college, studied law and was admitted
to tho bar in Philadelphia in 1850.
Soon after ho removed to. Oregon where
he haa resided ever Bince. He has
filled many prominent offices in that
state, among them those of prosecuting
attorney and auditor of public accounts
He served three years in the Oregon
legislature, was commissioner to adjust
the claims of citizens of Oregon against
the United States, and also commission
er to investigate Indian w»r claims
against the United States. He was an
active member of the convention which
framed the constitution of Oregon, was
the first representative to congress from
that state, and was last summer elected
to the United States senate for the term
beginning March 4,1877. A man who
tins borne so prominent part in the
history of Oregon understands the law
of that state better than any of his
critics, and the strict legality of his
action cannot be successfully disputed.
Tho removal by the President of Mr.
Fa.rman from tho postmastership oi
Philadelphia has evoked from the press
of that city, ofbotn parties, the • most
energetic condemnation. He is pro.
nounoed an excellent officer and ad
mirable gentleman, and was removed,
it is charged, because in opposition to
the secretary of war, Cameron, of 1 en-
nsylvania, though in accordance with
the wishes of his constituents, he did
not vote in tho Cincinnati Republican
Convention for the. nomination of Mr.
Cameron’s favorite. Mr. Cameron was
present at Cincinnati in defiance of
w hat was then considered the sentiment
of his own State as to a Presidential
candidate, and, ns was generally con
sidered, most improperly, because ot
his official position as secretory of
war. Mot content with defeating Blaine
—which, perhaps, was a good enough
thing-be has undertaken to punish
Blaine’s Pennsylvania friends, and to.
this reason has secured the removal of
Mr. Fnirman. The Philadelphia North
American, the leading Republican jour
nal of Philadelphia, is severe in its
denunciation of this proceeding. It
says “the President haB unnecessarily
done a most ungenerous thing, worthy
the “gravest condemnation.
The national board of fire underwri
ters, according to the New York 2V»i«
are counseling a general reduction of
rates, being driven to this Btep by the
compettiion of the companies which
havewithdrawn from tne board, es-
1 pecially the British companies.
The Oregon Vote.
No Constitutional provision is a
technicality. To violate any such pro
vision is a crime of the highest order,
and strikes at the life of the Govern
ment. The question whether Mr.
Hayes ought to have those votes is of
small account when the Constitution
must be violated to give them to him.
In Louisiana no one knows what the
will of the people is as to the two elec
tors there, and, in that State especially
the violation of the Constitution by
appointing Federal officers goes to
show fraud and wrong in the precise
way which the Constitution intended
to prevent. The votes for office-hold
ers are to be disregarded. No elector
runs against any other elector. The
blank votes, if counted as votes, defeat
a Republican candidate os much os a
Democratic candidate. Thus, in New
York there were one hundred and five
candidates for electors, and the thirty-
five having the highest number of votes
were entitled to election whatever
ticket they were on. A plurality vote
elects electors. Where a majority vote
is necessary, blank votes are counted
asagainBt either candidate. All the
cases hitherto cited are coses in which
a majority over all votes cast was ne
cessary to election. This is no such
case, for if it were, it cannot be said
that any one on either ticket had a
majority, since the blank votes count
equally against all, and defeat both
electoral tickets, which would be ab
surd. But these votes for an office
holder are not blank votes, They are
void votes. Being cast in the teeth of
a Constitutional prohibition they are
worse than waste paper, and of no pos-
ible effect as blanks or otherwise. Ig
norance in the voter is no plea. All
citizens are presumed to know the
laws. If tho Legislature when it had
this power had appointed as electors
men whom the Constitutition forbade
them to appoint, suoh act would have
been unconstitutional and void. An
unconstitutional aot is not voidable,
but void, and has not even power to
protect an officer seeking to enforce it.
A citizen’s vote in the same cose is as
void* as a Legislative Act, and is to be
disregarded. No one ean oppose the
Constitution and claim any value or
effect in his act. The canvassing Board
of Oregon was therefore right in re
turning the three candidates having
the highest number of votcB, and the
Govenor was right in certifying them
to be the appointed electors.
A New York letter says: “ Unques
tionably, there are many Democrats and
Republicans, who would be very glad to
seoeome way outof thetangle,aud would
bo happy to co-operate together to that
end ; but tue trouble is these ‘ moderates’
have no leadership and no organization.
The crisis is assuming so serious auaspeot
now, however, that they will speedily be
compelled to somehow make themselves
heard. If your correspondent were at
liberty to make public certain movements
that are already uudertakan to that end
it would he Been that silence does not
mean indifference. What will come of it
remains to be seen. For the moment, it
need only be said the inspiration of it is
that it i highly important that Congress
should bo unmistakably impressed with
the ;eou viotion that the people expect them
to settle tho dispute withoutany imitation
of Mexican methods. They want no
pronunciameutoes, no calling in of the
military to elect a President for them, nor
uuything of the kind. If the trouble
cannot be settled in any other way, the
feeling is that it ought to bo referred to
tho arbitration if not of the Supreme
Court, then to the arbitration of joint
committees of the two Houses of Con
gress, so constituted, personally and polit
ically, as to leave no doubt of their fair
ness and impartiality. It is felt that
there must be out of the mere partisan
circle some such body to whom appeal can
be made, with every confidence that. it
will bo responded to in a manner that
will speedily remove the question from
the area of Congressional contention, and
give peace to the country. There ore
indications that there will be a great pop
ular uprising by the conservative men of
both parties on this basis, in the course of
a few days, unless the temper of Congress
and of tho political press undergo a
marked change for the better, which is
uot to be anticipated. The great business
interests of the country, it is felt, cannot
be much longer trifled with without pro
ducing very serious consequences to na
tional and individual credit precipitating
us into commercial and financial embar
rassments quite as disastrous as those
from whioh they have just been recover
ing.” , .
A New York letter says: “A number
of Democratic Congressmen went up
to Albany, bv this afternoon’s Hudson
River Express. As their homes do not
lie in that direction, the current report
that they are on a mission of some kind
to Governor Tilden haa a color of prob
ability. They expected to meet him
at his residence in this city, but on ar
riving here they were met with a tele
gram stating that his official engage
ments, contrary to expectation, would
prevent him from leaving the capital.
That something of a very important
character is on foot, they say at the Ev
erett House, there is no doubt.
Mr. Watterson, of Kentucky, who
returned on Monday with Mr, Randall
from a visit to Governor Tilden. reports
that his Excellency is very confident
of a favorable termination of the l res
idential muddle.
