Why Hampton Wrote To Hayes.
Thß subjoined letter, which ap
peared as a special dispatch to the
New York TForZtl of the 11th, is pub
lished as information, and in justice to
Gov. Hampton :
Columbia, S. C., January 5, 1877.
My Dear Sib : Yours of the 3d instant
has been received, and I agree with you
that the duplicate letter of Gov. Hampton
to Messrs. Tjlden and Hayes has been
entirely misconstrued and its object griev
ously misunderstood. The notion that he
intended, directly or obliquely, to favor the
election of Mr. Hayes, or to imply an
opinion that he was elected, is simply ab
surd. Mr. Tilden has had no warmer
supporter than he, and no one believes
more fully that Mr. Tilden has be9n elect
ed, not only by a majority of the whole
people, but by the electoral vote. The ob
jective points of Governor Hampton, s let
ter have been strangely overlooked. Of
coarse, good men may differ as to the
policy of writing the letter at all, but the
point of the letter was obvious enough.
Governor Hampton thought that by for
warding to the two most prominent men
now before tho country his inaugural ad
dress, and making the same a part of his
communication to each, he would thus
bring the facts and views therein stated
and expressed more clearly within
the observation of a larger audience
than those facts ana views would other
wise obtain. It is and was of the utmost
importance that the whole country should
understand the true condition of South
Carolina, It was truthfully and ably pre
sented in that inaugural address, and
what more certain mode, let me ask for it
to reach the whole country than through
the chiefs of each party. Lot us reflect for
a moment. We are told on all [sides, and
by none more earnestly than by Governor
Hampton, that our policy is peace, that
the talk of settling the Presidential ques
tion by force is folly. We accept this view.
At tho same time it is admitted, even by
the hottest opponents of Mr. H vyes, that
ho is a courteous gentleman and a fair
minded man. It is further said of him by
his friends that ho is opposed, to the infa
mous carpet-bag government of the South.
To increase, then, the volume of public
opinion drawn from both parties against
these vile governments and to secure the
safe judgment of the whole people and of
all parties in favor of a peaceful solution
of our difficulties and the quiet inaugura
tion of the right man—that man in Gov
ernor Hamhton’s judgment being
Mr. Tilden he addresses not
a partisan letter, but cne cath
olic in spirit, to the heads of both par
ties and calls for peace and justic to all and
good local government for the South, and
particularly for down-trodden South Caro
lina. Tills is exactly what Governor Hamp
ton’s letter means—neither more nor less.
That such a letter read in as kindly a spirit
as it was written must bear good fruit, I
have not the least doubt. If it causes the
fair-minded Republicans at the North—and
there are many such—to pause and to read
with calmness the inaugural address of
Governor Hampton, and to consider the
frightful facts therein stated, it will be a
great work for peace and for Constitution
al Government in this country. Two more
years of such government as we have had
in South Carolina for the last ten years will
reduce our unhappy State to the condition
of the Netherlands under the Governorship
oi the Duke of Alva, and if, in the spirit of
love of country that actuated the Piince of
Orange, Govornor Hampton cal's alike on
friend and foe for a truce of bitterness
and battle, and if that can be considered
a misdemeanor, then can he be guilty
of a mistake; otherwise not. In my
opinion, when the country shall be
again restored to tranquility, when
Mr. Tilden shall have been quietly in
ducted into office, when Governor Hampton
shall be recognized on all sides as the Gov
ernor of South Carolina, and when general
confidence and prosperity shall have re
turned to bless tho land, then wi" the po
sition and judgment of our present Gov
ernor in this matter be fully viudicated.
I have said to you much more than I in
tended to say in acknowledging your let
ter, but as error will run a mile while truth
is putting on his boots, I hope what has
been said has been fitly spoken.
Yours truly,
J. D. Pope.
To General Thos. F. Deayton, Charlotte,
N.C.
The blunder was In writing the letter
at all. That’s the nub of the whole
matter, and it is not dispelled by Mr. J.
D. Pope.
Governor Colquitt’s Inaugural.
Governor Colquitt's inaugural is a
perfect document of its kind. It is the
production of a statesman and a Chris
tian. Eis Excellency will be true to
Georgia, to his countrymen, to his
Maker and himself. He stands by the
national Democracy and its standard
bearer, President-elect Tilden. And
this, too, is a stand for Constitutional
Liberty and local self-government.
To the colored people Gov. Colquitt
will be kind and just.
Our Governor also perceives that re
trenchment and economy are neces
sary in public, as well as in private life.
To this end, he recommends that the
Legislature should aid him in bring
ing the State back to old financial
landmarks, and maintaining, without
unequal burdens, the credit of the
Commonwealth. Already Senator
Reese has struck one blow for
reform in the clerical depart
ment of the Assembly, to be followed
no doubt by a reduction of the per
diem of members, and the unnecessary
frittening away of time over senseless
legislation.
The new Governor has made a capi
tal beginning. With the help of that
Divine Providence invoked by him,
we feel assured that his administra
tion will be a benediction to Georgia.
We bid him God speed in his high
mission!
—i > i—i
D. Appleton & Cos. have recently
published a volume containing a com
plete official record of the proceedings
of Congress at the counting of the
electoral votes in all the elections of
President and Vice President of the
United Suites, together with all Con
gressional debates incident thereto, or
to proposed legislation upon that sub
ject. The publishers have also an ana
lytical introduction to this most appro
priate work for the times. A more
valuable and timely publication for the
political scholar could not have been
devised. We advise everybody inter
ested in the great problem of the
Presidency to procure it. Mr. Pendle
jon has our thanks for a copy.
The Senatorship.
Col. Jones, the irrepressible and
peregrinating editor of the Macon Tel
egraph, is now “doing" the State Capi
tal. He has diagnosed the Senatorial
contest in his own inimitable way. Gel.
Jones does not have much faith in the
promise of the average legislator, and
hence the SeDatorship is clouded in
mystery.
According to Mr. Jones, Senator
Nokwood appears to have a plurality
of supporters ; but, we are directly in
formed that “Governor H. V. Johnson
also is in the field, hearty, self-pos
sessed and expectant. He simply bides
his time, and will essay to enter the
arena when his antagonists are ex
hausted by long-continued and una
vailing ballotings.”
We are surprised at this statement,
the more so ps we were told, a few days
ago, by one of our contemporaries,
that “Gov. Johnson is not a candidate
for the Senatorship. Judging from his
letter of last summer to Gov. Jenkins
and others, touching the nomination
for Governor, as well as from our
knowledge of his patriotism, we doubt
not that he would accept the office if
it should be tendered to him by the
General Assembly. But we have no
idea that he will enter the arena as a
candidate, in antagonism to any of the
other aspirants.” The same authority
asserted that Gov. Johnson "will never
consent to enter into a contest for the
Senatorship. How highly soever he
would appreciate such an honor, he will
neither say nor do anything to influ
ence the free and voluntary choice of
the Legislature in selecting their repre
sentative in the Senate of the United
States.”
We are of opinion that Mr. Jones
has made a mistake about ex-Governor
Johnson. He simply went to Atlanta
to see Gen. Colquitt inaugurated and
without the remotest idea of entering
the Senatorial contest. Of course, he
would take the Senatorship if offered
him spontaneously and unsolicited;
otherwise not.
Col. Jones is manifestly of opinion
that the “tied out horse” is ex-
Governor Bbown.
But we shall see what we shall see.

According to Brother Waterman,
Senator Norwood is pertinaciously en
gaged in button-holing the members of
the Assembly.

On January 10th Sherman, Grant and
Sheridan had an interview on the Lou
isiana situation. The Baltimore Sun’s
Washington correspondent says, “in
answer to a question put- to him, Gen.
Sheridan said, in his blunt way, ‘Tell
them not to fret about it. Augur will
take care of those fellows down there.
He’ll attend .to them. It has always
come out right, hasn’t it, and it will
again.’ The meaning of which is that
ultimately the President will sustain
Packard. Senator West, who has been
somewhat discouraged at the apathy
of the President concerning Packard’s
prospects, is in better spirits.”
The editor of theLaGrango Reporter
has camped in Atlanta and writes back
to his paper that log-rolling and office
seeking are unprecedented. He says:
“Men are here from all parts of the
State, after all kinds of office. Almost
every member of the Legislature is
button-holing his fellow-member in be
half of ‘a man from my county,’ and
some counties which send only one
member, send two or three candidates.
Some poor fellows are beseiging friends
and members to get them some office
no matter what. One man a little less
than eight feet high, who looked like
he was born to fell the forest and break
‘the stubborn glebe,’ whose hands
would rival a sledge-hammer, and
whose arms were fitted by nature to
jerk the indurated under-jaw and guide
the wary footsteps of the uncertain
mule, was circulating around beseech
ing the Senators to appoint him page!
A page—great Hercules !”
In Memoriam.
Jane CivrAßisa Musoboye, la view of
her life long relations to St. (Paul’s Church
and Sunday School,deserves a speoial trib
ute of kindly remembrance and esteem,
from ourselves.
She was born November 9th, 1820, soon
after the erection of our present church ed
ifice, and the reorganization of the parish.
She was baptized November 17th, 1822, by
the Rev. Hugh Smith, D, D., under the
pastoral guidance and instruction of tho
Rev. Edward E. Ford.D. D. She was confirm
ed by Bishop Elliott, on Easter Day, April
llth, 1841, on the occ?slon of his first visit
to this city after his consecration. She was
admitted to the Holy Communion June sth,
1872. She died Octeber 9, 1876.
Such is the brief record of her life as
preserved in the Register of the St. Pau.’s
Church.
She is remembered by ourselves, as one
of the best known and most devoted mem
bers of this churoh—constant iu her attend
ance upon public worship, on Sundays or
other days, invariably participating in the
Lord’s Supper—never absent from her
place in the Sunday School, always devot
ed to the best interests of her pupils, and
by precept and example encouraging them
to go steadfastly in the Christian life, and
justly winning in return their sincere af
festion and respect.—full of sympathy to
wards every good work, and ready to help
it forward to the extent of her means and
opportunity—content to fill up her proba
tion “in all lovliness and meekness,” with
out display and without observation. At
the close of her earthly sojourn, we may
say with all reverence, “She was not for
God took her.”
Without a warning, to excite the fears of
those who knew and loved her, but watch
ed over and guarded by the Holy Angels,
•‘she fell on sleep,” closing her eyes to the
scenes of this world, to open them in the
Paradise of God, and “be with Christ
which is far better.”
The above sketch presented by the un
dersigned, previously appointed a commit
tee for the purpose, Was unanimously
adopted in St. Paul’s Sunday School, Janu
ary 7th, 1877, and ordered to be published
in the city papers.

Sch neck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed
Tonic,
AND MANOR \KE PILLS.—IHESE De
servedly celebrated and popular medicines
have affected a revolution in the heal
ing art, and proved the fallajy of several
maxims which have for many years ob
structed the progress of medical science.
Tho false supposition that “Consumption is
incurable” deterred physicians from at
tempting to find remedies for that disease,
and patients afflicted with it reconciled
themselves to death without making an ef
fort to escape from a doom which they sup
posed to be unavoidable It is now proved,
hewever, that C msumption can be cured,
and that it has been cured in a very great
number of cases (some of them apparently
desperate ones) by SCHNECK’S Pulmonic
Syrup aL>ne; and in other cases by the
same medicine in connection with
SCHNECK’S Sea Weed Tonic and Man
drake Pills, one or both, according to the
requirements of the case.
DR. SCHENCK himself who enjoyed un
interrupted good health for more than
forty years,was supposed at one time to bo
at the very gate of death, his physicians
having pronounced his case hopeless, and
abandoned him to his fate. He was cured
by the aforesaid medicines, and, since his
rr covery, many thousands similarly affect
id have used DR. SCHENCK’S prepara
tions with the same remarkable success.
Full directions accompany each, making
it not absolutely necessary to personally
see DR. SUHENCK urless patients [wish
their lungs examined, and for this purpose
he is professionally at his principal office,
corner Sixth and Arch streets, Philadel
