Wade Hampton in Washington.
Washington, March 20.—Gova
Hampton accompanied by Attorney.;
General Conner and Senator elept
Butler, with the committee of Cnmv
leston capitalists, arrived here tips
morning, the welcome of Hamptoq
from Richmond to this place being,
as further South. There was no pub-*
lie reception, and the party drove
quietly to Willard’s.
The following letter was addressed
by Gov. Hampton to the President
this morning: t .1
Wili.akd’s Hotel, ) -i
Washington, March 29,1877. j Aj
To the President :
Sir: —ln compliance with your.ifty
vitation 1 am hero for the purpose cl
uniting mv efforts with yours to the
end of Composing the political dif
ferences which now unhappily dis
tract tlie people of South Carolina.
1 beg you to believe that my anxiety
to bring about the permanent pacifi
cation of that State—a pacification in
which the rights of all shall be safe
and the interests of all shall be pro
tected—is as sincere as 1 feel assured
is your own for the accomplishment
of the same ends.
My position for years past in refer
ence to the political rights of colored
citizens, and my solemn pledge,
given during the late canvass in
South Carolina, that under my ad- ■
ministration all their rights should |
be absolutely secure, should furnish
a sufficient guarantee of my sincerity
on those points which appear to be j
the subject of special anxiety.
I have the honor to ask at what
hour it will be your pleasure to re
ceive me.
I am, sir, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
Wade Hampton.
Governor of South Carolina. I
The President returned an imme
diate answer by Colonel Rogers, his
Private Secretary, and Gov. Hamp
ton, accompanied by Senator Gordon
and Attorney General Conner, will
wait on the President at one o’clock.
The President soon afterwards sent
Mr. Rodgers, his Private Secretary,
to Governor Hampton s room to per
sonally inform him that he would be
pleased to meet him at the White
House at 1 o’clock. Gov. Hampton
replied that he would call at that
hour.
At 11 o’clock Governor Hampton
breakfasted. Meanwhile a large
crowd gathered in the reception room
of the hotel, awaiting the opportu
nity to shake his hand as he passed
through on the way to his room.
There was quite a delegation from
Baltimore (not office seekers,) who
wished to know if he proposed visi
ting Baltimore before returning
home.
Governor Hampton is a fine speci
men of physical manhood, standing
full six feet high in theelear, barring
boot heels. His form is willowy, but
well knit and compact. His com
plexion is swarthy, tinged with
enough of the roseate hue to indicate
a good liver—one who does not in
tend to die in debt to his stomach.
In his movements he is quick and his
manners are graceful. His eyes are
a deep brown, almost black, and they
sparkle with a good deal of anima
tion. They are expressive eyes; of
the kind which reflect the inner feel
ings. His hair is black, though there
are places where the gray is making
sad inroads. He wears side whiskers
and a moustache, the latter ending
where the former begins, something
after the style of Senator Burnside,
though the whiskers do not stand
out so prominently as do those of
the Rhode Island Senator. Both
moustaee and whiskers are tinged
with just enough gray to serve as a
reminder of the inroads of time. He
wears a faultless white shirt front,
with pearl buttons, and a full black
suit, the coat cut frock. He is of that
class of men who have an attractive
ness which is noticed in a crowd.
At 12 o’clock Governor Hampton
by appointment accorded an inter
view to a reporter of the Star. Gen.
Butler and Senator Gordon were con
versing in the room, and Gov.Hamp*
ton was going over his mail. In re
ply to a question, he said ho did not
know how long he would remain in
Washington; that he had come be
cause lie hud been asked to, and be
cause it would not have been courte
ous to the President not to have ac
cepted his invitation. lie proposed
to call on the President at one o’clock,
but until after he had had that inter
view ho could not speak of what
would he his course, because he did
not know what would be required.
Of his own accord he alluded to the
speech he made yesterday in Wil
“lift". NV C. He says heijgtiicor-
by The Aslociatedi
wffiKang words were put in his
Mouth which he did not utter.- What
hem4jiy was that heshoulYtmsist
u PjS|ds rights as an American citi
zei&iffi# that the rights 0f tfte Amen*
ieaiff'tptyijns of South Carolina as ex
prU^dat the ballot should- be held
MK’tejLuid inviolate.
Gov. Hampton mad% no allusion
to hfaFrival, Gov. Chamberlain. He
lakerthe ground that the majority
of the(people of his State, white and
b acjgf recognize him as the legal
GojWpaor. What he desires is not
recognition by the President, but the
righttoAdinimster unhampered the
dutie&itf, the office to which he has
bcciSHlieu. lie will makeuo com
wffofftri?ymtnre which will rec
ognize that Chamberlain lias any
claim to the executive office. He
says that the peace will he preserved
and the rights of all respected if the
troops are withdrawn, and that his
authority as Governor is respected all
over the State, except within that
boundary patrolled by the Federal
troops. He thinks if the President
will withdraw the military to the
barracks that the complications now
existing will speedily right them
selves, and that the Governor who
does not have the respect of the peo
ple will soon tire of administering an
office without honor or emoluments.
Governor Hampton says that lie
will administer the affairs of the
State for the best interests of all
Classes. He will see that the blacks
are protected in ail their rights. He
thinks that the dawn of peace is
about to break in upon South Caro
lina, and with the civil government I
restored and the mandates of the
courts obeyed, that the State will
rapidly build up its waste places; that
capital and labor will go hand in hand
to develop it, and that ere many
years the Palmetto State will have a
Commonwealth over which any one ;
may be proud to preside.
Governor Hampton also thinks j
that President Hayes means to stand |
by the principles breathed in his in
augural address, and that time will
show to the country the wisdom of
his Southern policy.
In conversation the Governor is j
agreeable; he speaks without any re
serve or hesitation. At times he is
interesting, and has an engaging
manner, caleulaten to impress any
one who comes in contact with him. ;
Ile has a number of acquaintances in
Wasnington, many of wh mi have
already called upon him. Hon. Fer
-1 atido Wood was among the callers
this morning,
Governor Hampton, accompanied
by Senator Gordon, of Georgia, and
Attorney General Conner, of South
Carolina, had an interview with the
President by appointment this after
noon. The conversation was of a
free and general character. It related
primarily to the question as to the
probable condition of the State in
case the troops should be withdrawn.
The points urge by Governor Hamp
ton and his friends were as follows:
First, they claimed that there is an
imperative necessity for speedy ac
tion, as the planting interests of
South Carolina are in absolute dan
ger of destruction by reason of the
present unsettled state of affairs, the
labor system being now in process of
disintegration, and although the sea
son for planting is already at hand
the planters are unable as heretofore
to obtain advances of money from
merchants and factors, and this dis
astrous condition of affairs they said
would continue until some stable sys
tem of government shall have been
established, in short, business is
paralyzed, and credit almost entirely
destroyed throughout the State in
consequence of its present unsettled
condition. Another reason forspeedy
action urged by these gentlemen was
that "carpet baggers” and others in
terested in the perpetuation of the
Chamberlain rule were constantly in
citing riots and disaffection, and the
most assiduous care and forbearance
had to be exercised fo prevent open
breaches of the public peace, the
ever present danger being that they
might become general throughout
the State. Instances and illustyu
tions of this precarious condition of
affairs were presented to the Presi
dent with some peculiarity and de
tail.
The remainder of the conversation
was mainly directed to the question
as to what would be the probable
condition of affairs should the troops
be withdrawn from the State House,
and what line of policy Gov. Hamp
ton intended to pursue in that event.
On these points the President was
assured that there would tie no effort
to seize tlv3 ; Capitol by.niob. violence
and that onjy”legal priecsses would
be ipsorted to by Governor Hamp
ton to establish the supremacy of his
government.
• No formal pledges were or
given during the interview, byt Gov.
Hampton emphatically repeated the
statements lie has heretofore rtiarfe.
that he possesses both rhe purpose
and power to protect all persons and
classes alike in their legal anjl' con
stitutional rights. The President in
reply, stated substantially that it was
his purpose to carry out in good faith
the promises of his inaugural ad- #
dress, as he was deeply anxious to
bring peace nud quiet to tire dis’rac
tediwrtiorw of the country, and he
was sfLtsfiffTi tliat this result Would
he attained in a very short time.
During the entire conversation,
which lasted several hours, there was
no discussion of Chamberlain’s right
or title to the Governorship, and
nothing was said which contempla
ted his continuance in office, the con
versation being almost altogether
based upon the assumption of a with
drawa! of Federal troops and the re
linquishment of the legal questions
at issue to the State courts.
Governor Hampton and his friends
say they are greatly pleased and en
couraged by the snterview, and this
evening feel confident that the State i
of South Carolina will soon be re- j
lieved of its present political and in
dustrial difficulties.
HAMPTON RECOGNIZED.
Washington, March 31.— The let-1
ter of Governor Hampton to the i
President to day setting forth what j
in Iris estimation would be the con-1
dition of affairs in South Carolina |
should the troops be withdrawn,was
the subject of consideration by the!
Cabinet this afternoon. After de
liberation it was determined to with-,
draw the troops from the State
House at Columbia, but to keep them i
in the State to preserve the peace,
and as a guarantee that Hampton
will perform the pledges that he lias
made. Gov. Hampton desired that
this should he done toward recogni
zing him, but under existing circu in-;
siances the President and his Cabinet
think this is as iar as it would he
safe to go. This afternoon a letter
containing the above facts was sent
to Gov. Hampton and a copy of it to
Mr. Chamberlain.
Mr. Chamberlain says that as soon
as the troops are withdrawn from the
Columbia State House the public
documents, &c., now in liis posses
sion. will be quietly, and without ;
any trouble turned over to Governor
Hampton.
California Crop Reports.
San Francisco, March 28. —Crop !
reports from all the prominent points !
in the interior are less favorable than i
previous advices have indicated. In :
the Sacramento valley, where a good ■
yield had been anticipated, mildew i
has made its appearance to such an j
extent as to cause serious alarm, j
Mildew is reported throughout the j
great grain growing counties af Co-!
hisa, Yolo and Solano. Otherwis the
prospects in that section of the State
are still good though the want of
rain is beginning to be felt especi
ally for late sown wheat. The Tide
lands are promising well. The coast
counties north of San Francisco are
looking well through rust is reported
in some localities. I n the lower por
tions of the San Joaquin valley the
crops arc in good condition hut higher
up thb river and in the Los Angelos
valley there will be but little raised
except on irrigated land. In the
Santa Clara valley the prospect is not
favorable for a full croptmd in the
Salinqs valleys the yield will be very
light but along the coast to the north
of Monterey the grain is in tine con
dition. The Southern coast counties
will raise but a light crop, probably
not more than a quarter of the aver
age. Rain is reported this evening
throughout the central portion of tlie
State, which will greatly improved
feed and will be a decided benefit to
wheat where not too far gone.
The Nation, which has never been
charged with excessive praise of
President Hayes, nevertheless ex
presses the utmost confidence in his
policy and its ultimate results, say
ing: "The President has already
undergone in the choice of his Cabi.
net a very much more severe test of
his sincerety as a reformer than that
furnished by the Southern problem,
and we therefore see no reason in
anything that has occurred, if we do
not approve of his methods, for rais
ing any doubt about Ids ultimate
ends.”
NUMBER (i
An African Tradition.
Stanley say*> in one of his recent
Jeteers from Africa; ‘/The tradition
relates that the portion fifties coi'.tr-’
nent no\y ocmpidfl by the Great Lake
was a. plain ’years apd years ago;
thnt on this plain was a large town,
near where is not known. In this
town lived a man and his wife with,
an iqplosqre round their dwelling,
jvhich contained a remarkably deep
|preU or fountain,' whence an abun
daufreupply of ffes> fish was obtain
ed for Yheir wants.
“The wife, however was not very
virtuous, for she permitted another
man In secret to sbaretbelive which
should have been solely bestowed on
her proper husband and among other
favors site frequently gave to her
Tover'sbme of tite fresh tDh akinif of
of delicious meat he had never before
tasted, and which roused, his utmost
curiosity to ascertain whence site had
obtained it. For a long time he
ceased not to ask which the woman
steadily refused to tell. One day
the husband was compelled to begin
ajourneyto Uvinza but before de
parture he strictly enjoined his wife
to look after his house ch siey, to ad
mit no gossips within his doors, and
above ail, not to show the fountain.
This African Eve solemnly promised
to comply with his instructions,
though secretly she rejoiced at the
prospect of his absence. A few hours
after her husband’s departure she left
her house to seek her lover and when
she found him she said to him, You
have for along time demanded to
know whence I obtained that deli
cious meat you have so often | raised.
Come with me and I will show you.
African Eve then took him to her
house in opposition to her husband’s
commands; but as with a view to en
hance tlie glories of the fountain and
the pleasure of viewing the fisli sport
fully displaying their silvery sides in
the water, she first entertained her
lover with ihelisii cooked in various
ways nor was she neglectful to satisfy
his thirst with wine of her own manu
facture.
"Then, when her lover began to be
impatient at tiie delay, and having
no other cause to postpone the ex
hibition, she invited him to follow
her. A fence with water cane plas
tered over with mud enclosed the
wondrous fountain, within whose
crystal depths he saw the fish. For
some time he gazed on the brilliant
creatures with admiration, then
seized with a desire to handle one of
them and regard them more cleeiy
he put his hand within the water to
catch one of them when suddenly
the well burst forth the earth opened
her womb, and soon an enormous
lake replaced the plain. Within a
few days the husband,returning from
Uvinza, approached Ujiji, and saw to
his astonishment a large lake where
once a plain and many towns stood,
and he knew then that his wife hail
revealed the secret of the mysterious
fountain and that punishment had
fallen upon her and her neighbors
because of her sin.
Intemperance in America.—
Dr. Do Marmon, in the New York
Medical Journal says : "For the last
ten years the use of spirits has 1.
Imposed upon the nation a direct ex
pense of $600,000,000 ; 2. Has caused
an indirect expense of $700,000,000;
3. Has destroyed 300,000 lives; 4.
Has sent 100,000 children to the poor
house; 0. Has committed at. least
150,000 people to prisons and work
houses;!!. Has determined at least
1,000 suicides; 7. Has caused the loss
by tire or violence of at least $10,000,-
000 worth of property ; 8. Has made
200,000 widows and 1,000,000 or
phans.”
And yet, there are many persons—
even some professing Christians—■
who think temperance people are fa
natical because they are trying to
have this fearful source of evil sup
pressed. If any other traffic or cause
would produce a hundredth part of
the misery, crime and death which
the liquor business causes, there
would be an outcry from the people
against it that would shake the heav
ens, and it would be hunted down
- and “stamped out” in less than a
; week.
It is reported that General Gilman
Marston will contest Frank Junes’,
right 10 a seat in Congress as the
member from the First District of
New Hampshire, on the ground of
bribery.
Josh Billings says;—“The mewl is
a larger bird than theguso or turkey,
it Inis two legs to walk with, and
two more to kick with, and wears ita
wings on the side of its head.”
