SOUTH CAROLINA. BAMPTON’S WORK OF ORGANIZING HIS GOVERN- MENT—EFFECT OF THE TAXPAYERS’ RE- SPONSE TO HIS CALL—CHARITABLE INSTITU- TIONS RELIEVED. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD. Couvauta, Jan. 5, 1877. ‘The dulness resulting from the unusually sovere Atato of the weather has seemingly affected political circles, and the two governments run side by side without audible clash, General Hampton has, how- ever, begun the work of organizing bis administration, and this work progresses steadily. Numbers of promi- nent citizens call upon him daily from all portions of the State, and, upon their recommendations, the various county officers are appointed and commissioned. RESPONSE OF THE TAXPAYERS, ‘The most important item of the week, perhaps, is the fact that the taxpayers of the State are giving substan- tial proof of their aliegiance to the Hampton govern- ment by responding promptly to the demand mado ‘upon them for support in the shape of voluntary con- tributions, or advance tax, as It is called, Not quite a week has lapsed since the address of General Hamp- ton was published, and several thousand dollars have been already received. AN ACT OF BENEVOLENCE. His first official disbursement was in the cause of humanity, as he at once notified the superintendents of the State Lunatic Asylum and State lenitentiary that he was now prepared to relieve the necessities of the inmates of those two institutions, both of which, 1t must be stated, were on the point of closing for want of funds to-keep them supplied with the plainest {ood and the barest necessaries for even a few days longer. The moral effect of this acknowledgment on the part of the taxpaying element, together with the subse- quent action of Hampton, cannot but be great, GENERAL HAMPTON ON MACKEY’S INTERVIEW WITH GOVERNOR HAYES, Couuunia, Jan. 5, 1877. General Hampton said to-day, in roferonce to Judgo Mackey’s interview with Governor Hayes, that Mackey was not authorized to speak for him or the democracy of South Carolina.

THE OREGON ELECTORS. TESTIMONY OF GOVERNOR GROVER BEFORE THE BENATE COMMITTEE—DETAILED STATEMENT OF HIS ACTION AND CITATION OF THE LAW WHICH GUIDED HIM. Wasutxatoy, Jan. 5, 1877. Governor Grover, of Oregon, was examined betore the Senate Committee on Priv.i.,es and Elections to- day in relation to the recent electoral troubles in that Bate. In reply to Senator Kernan he testified that he bas been the Governor of Oregon since 1870, and bas been a resident of that State for twenty-live years; he was born in Maine, but resided in Pennsylvania for some years previous to going to Oregon; his attention was first called to the Watts case a few days bejore the counting of the electoral voto by the filing of a protest signed by a large number of citizens against his (Grover) issuing the certificate of election to Watts on the ground that Watts was a postmaster on the day of the election and was therefore ineligible to the office of Presidential Blector; several affidavits made by residents of tho county io which Watts was a postmaster accompanied the protest, and in them it was set forth that Watts was a postmaster on the day of election and had been for three yeurs previous to that time. When the vote of the State was canvassed by the Secretary of State witness was present and gave Notice that a protest had been filed against the issuing of a certificate of election to Watts, and as it was not then time to issue certificates, he would appoint sen o’clock of next day as the time when he would hear arguments from both sides; all the republican electors ‘were present when witness made the announcement, . THE ARGUMENT BEFORE THE GOVERNOR. At the hearing next day the republican electors filed ® Counter protest to that filed against the issuing of a certificate to Watts; the protest filed by the republi- can electors demanded that certificates be issued ac- cording to the votu,as deciared by the Secretary of State, but it did wot deny that Watts was a postinaster; all who desired were heard in relauion to this subject, and the discussion which > enced in the morning was kept up through the day and evening; the next morning certificates ‘were issued by witness to the three persons who nad Feceived the highest number of votes and who were eligible under the constutution. CROSS-KXAMINATION, . In answer to Senator Morton, Governor Grover tes- tifled that the opinion which be (Grover) bas pub- | lished, giving the grounds for bis action in issuing the electoral certiticates as he did, Was preparcd belore his decision in reiation to the issuing of certificates was anpounced ; it was not printed unt! alter the decision jas announced; witness stated that he received @ letter trom Judge Hoadiey, of ‘Cincinnati, embracing several authorities, in relation to this it Was ap ordinary three-page letter; oF sent to the witness py of the Houdiey) has since published in rela. on to the eligibility oi electors; the witness received Judge Hoadley’s ietter about a week before he ma his decision in the Waus’ case; be knows Judy joadiey by reputation only; did not know his poli. Uos; Judge Hoadley did not eay in his letter that he was tola to write to the witness; the witness’ au- thority for his action in issuing the certificates waa Bot the statute Jaw of Oregon; he regarded that when constitational objection was made, as in the case of ‘Wate, it was bis duty to hear and determine, THE LAW OF ORKGON, It i a rule of the Oregon Supreme Court that in ease of @ constitutional question being raised ws regards the pian Of those eiccted to ollice the Governor shall hear and determine; thut he has that right as the con- gervator of the constitution; there isa section in the Oregon statutes which requires the Governor to cer- tity to the election of tne jon having the highest Bomber of voves, but the witness’ idea of that section Of the statutes 19 that it refers to the persou Laving the highest number of legal votes; the section retcrred the Governor not only to certify to but to lected the person having the ad number 1 of votes: @ statutes ree juired him to declare a wron; would bave to do bs case the person who received ig, ae the highest uumber ot ‘votes was ineligible. ‘The witness stated that in relation to the issuing of Sertificates to the electors the constitution and a law of Congress conflict with the statute of Oregon; while former makes {t the duty of the Governor of the to issue certificates tw electors, the latter says the ot 8 shall issue the certificates; ‘witness stated that where the laws of th ited States and of Oregon conilicted he considered it his duty to be @uided by the former. THE QUESTION OF INKIAGIBILITY. ‘The witness, to illustrate what ho considered bis duty, said, had Williams, the member of Congress elect irom Oregon, been proven to be ineligible, he (witness) would have deemed 1¢ bis duty to withhold a certificate of election from him; he would not formally prociaim uny man elected to an office whom he honestly believed to be ineligible; he had no corre- spondence with prominent gentlemen in New York, but received a from Senator Gwin, in which he stated that eminent ntiemen of New York were of the opinion that naster Watts was eligible; the witness also received a telegram from ir. Hewitt, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, 12 which he cited several legal decisions bearing on the case of Watts: he also received a tel grain froin Manton Marble, calling his attention to the case of Watts; the witness answered Mr. Marble that the case was under careful consideration; be meta ‘gentieman named Patrick a few days belore the certifi- cates were issued; saw biin at his (witness’) oflice; Mr. Patrick did not say that be was sent to Oregon to rep- resenteither Mr. Tilden or Mr. Hewitt; Mr. Patrick mentioned the case of Watts in a general way, but the jou with him, TESTIMONY OF Mit, MARTIN, The committee held a special session at half-past two o'clock this afternoon to examice Augustus F. R. Mar- tin, of the irm of Martin & Runyon, stockbrokers, at No. 41 Wail street, New York. In’ response to ques- tions by Senator Mitchell he testified tuat it appears from a stub in the firm’s, checkbook that a check was drawn 4 them on th ink of North America, Decem- ber 6, 1876, for $8,000, payable to Ladd & Bush, of Salem, Oregon; the stub was in the handwriting of G.- H. Hughes, their bookkeeper; witness knew nothing about the check except from his partner and the book- keeper; the latter had told him that the check was re- turned the same day unused, Senator Kernan objected to any further questions being put to witness regarding the cbeck, as he had testified he had no personal knowledge concerning it, and ag the other persons named could be summoned to appear, Sonator Mitchell then elicited from the witne: he was accompanied to Washington by Burton son, of New York, to whom he was introduced yester- day’ by his partner, Mr. Ruoyon, who told him” Harri- kon was going 10 Washington and would ‘give him advice and help him along with his business; they catne over on the train together; the only advice given him by Harrison was to testify to nothing more than he knew, or, in other words, to give no hearsay testi- mony; he did not think’ he needed such advice (Jaughter); he had no previous acquaintance with Har- rison, and éonld not say what is Harrison’s business oceupation ; introduced to him in his (Harrison's) office in Pine street; witness 1s a republican, and his partner, Rdnyon, 1s a democrat, MR, TILDEN’S ALLEGED “‘DISBURSING AGENT” SUMMONED TO TESTIFY. San Francisco, Jan,-5, 1877. A despatch from Salem, Oregon, says that Mr, Bush, of the banking firm of Ladd & Bush, has been suin- moned to Washington, Mr. Bush was at the State House about noon on the day of the counting of tho electoral vote, and the republicans say that the demo- crats were awaiting his arrival then with greatanxiety, and asserted ut the time that ho was Governor lilden's disbursing agent and that the programme carried out then was not assured till his drrival at the State House, SENATOR GORDON. LETTER FROM THE DISTINGUISHED GEORGIAN 10 THE GOVERNOR OF HIS STATE—HE BE- LIEVES TILDEN FAIRLY ELECTED AND THE CHANCES OF HIS INAUGURATION IMPROVING. Wasurnaton, Jan. 5, 1877, Senator Gordon, of Georgia, has addressed a letter to Governor Colquitt, of that State, which is approved by the leading democratic members of Congress, He thinks that Governor Tilden was fairly, peacably, con- stitationally elected. Such is the conviction, he thinks, of the country, of all domocrats and of a large body of republicans who supported Mr. Hayes. How any unprejudiced man can doubt it or how his inauguration can be defeated with any show of com- pliance with law seems to him beyond comprehension, MR, TILDEN’S PROSPECTS, In viow of the reasons which Senator Gordon gives he is almost ready to say Mr. Tilden will be peaceably inaugurated, He has faith that the power of truth aud reverence for luw will control such a body as the United States Senate, THE POWER TO COUNT THE VOTE. It js no secret that there are republicans in both houses of Congress who will nover consent that the Vice President of the United States shall exercise the extraordinury and dangerous powers which the ex- tremists seek to coufer upon him, and he knows of no other meihod by which Mr, Hayes can be counted in. The very act of appointing a joint committee to re- port a plan would seem to be an abandonment of such a scheme and a recognition of the constitutional power of tho two houses of Congress over the entire subject, THE CONSTITUTION. The constitution provides for all contingencies which have arisen, and for all likely to arise, in this case, and the surest guarantee of a peaceful settlement of this grave question is an unswerving adherence to the law ol the precedents, He concludes with the remark that the great mass ofthe people, republicans and domo- crats, are honest and fuir minde: POWER O¥ PUBLIC OPINION. He reposes with great confidence on the power of public opinion, which is crystallizing in the direction he indicates, That 1t may be potent enough to secure the peaceful inauguration of Mr. Tilden he believes to be the wish of a very large majority of the people, and he knows of many honest republicans who love country more than party. ELECTORAL ARITHMETIC. THE WAY THEY COUNTED IN OUR FOREFATHERS’ DAYS—E. W. STOUGHTON’S OPINIONS ON THE QUESTION. The following is the substanco of an elaborate opinion given by Mr. E. W. Stoughton on the political situation, in which he endeavors to establish beyond doubt the right of the President of the Senate to count the electoral vote, and concludes as follows:. In 1857, when Mr, Buchanan was elected, teilers were appointed, as before, ‘tv make a list of the votes as thoy shail be deciared,’? and tor tne frst time, us I believe, in their history they reported ‘that they have counted the votes of all the States cast tor Presi- dent and Vice President,” &c., and Mr. Buchanan was declared clocted, Upon'the counting of the votes m 161 the President of the Senate declarea Mr, Lincoln elected President, tellers. having been, as usual, ap- pointed by the two houses “to make a list of the vores as they shall be declared,” and they were deciared, as before stated, oy the President of the Senute, Lhad written thus far botore reading a pamphiet entitled, “The Electoral Votes of 1876,” 10 which Mr. David Dudley Field attempts to state who should countthe votes, what should be counted and the remedy for a wrong count, Upon reading the pam- phlet 1 find that be might conbistently, with any practical purpose, have entirely omitted to consider the two last questions, for he assumes the two houses alone have power to count the clectoral votes and states:—"the result must be that what the two houses do not agree to count cun- | not be counted.” This conclusion appears rom the tone of his pamphiet, to be quite satisiactory tohim. ‘To me it i» otherwise, for it 18 discouraging to learn that after the peoplo have through their electors cast their vote for President and Vice President there oh ald be found no tribunal having the power, and hose duty it is to determine the persons actually elected, and this especially so when I reflect that at the cioge of another election, should une be held, Mr, Field may again declare ‘‘the rosuit must be what the two houses do not agree to count cannot be counted.” THE ELECTORAL VOTE. A LETTER FROM JUDGE CAMPBELL, OF LOUIS- IANA, TO BENATOR BAYARD--HOW THE VOTE SHOULD RE COUNTED. Wasmatox, Jan. 5, 1877, Senator Bayard, on application, has furnished the fol- lowing letter for publication, It is from Hon, John A. Campbell, now of Louisiana, formeriy a Judge of | the Supreme Court of the United States, and is a critical commentary upon the history of the electoral Vote as It now exists in the constitution, The letter commences by quoting very largely from contemporary history at the framing of the coustitu- tion and the conclusions found in the report of the committee of 1787, After raking quotations from a number of speeches Judge Campbell arrives at tuo fol- lowing conclusions :— A DANGEROUS CHANG ARISEN. It is probabie that had there been no intervention of party conventions between the peuple and the election | such would have been the result. And itis certain that the practice of nominating candidates by tons and the organization of parties by committees and clubs has defeated tho intention of the framers of the constitution and has made a radical and dangerous change in the oflice of tne Kxecu- uve Department, if not of the govern pt itselt A body of active, alert, trained nd disciplined politicians have been found Who make politics @ trade, and Who subsist upon the partialities, benelactions, expenditures and corruptions of the gov- ernment. To accomplish their aims they have brought the government directly ito the management and con: trol of elections, and the powers of the government to accomplish the ends of party ambition at the ballot box. WHAT THE GOVERNMENT CAN DO, The Department of Justice, through its marshals, sends battalions of deputies throughout any State when a coutest iy close. The Seeretary of War senus the standing army for the game purpose, under a pretence of preserving peace, Instances have occurred of de- tls from the army to do clerical work tor party com- mittees and of officers regulating the order of a politi- cal nceting. A Seeretary of the loterior takes upon Limself the office of Comptroller lot the Presi. dential campaign, and the President bimselt has thrown off all the feserve and all of the decoram whieh heretofore hag governod the conduct of that vilicer in stch an election. The mighty evils of influence, intrigue, cabal, cor- ruption and circumvention are aggravated by the menaces of violence and the conversion of the army into a body of janizaries to enforce the will of the Ghiels of the party. AN INVIOLATR CONSTITUTION, Under these conditions we are called to examine the to be | powors, obligations and dutice of the two houses of Congress in a joint convention to examine the returos from the Electoral College. I have brought to your notice the records of the wisdom of the fathers of th constitution, In that wisdom I h sought a guide for the government and tho people. tn the present crisis the people und the States demand of their Con- gressional representatives that the constitution be maintained inviolate, Iam, with respect and esteem, your obedient servant, JOHN A, CAMPBELL, INDIANA LEGISLATURE. GOVERNOR HENDRICKS’ MESSAGE—A BEFER- ENCE TO THE USURPATION OF STATE BRIGHTS IN SOUTH CAROLINA. Inpiaxapouis, Jan. 5, 1877. Governor Hendricks’ message to the Legislature was delivered this morning. It relates wholly to State af- fairs, with the exception of a reference to the presence of United States troops in South Carolina, saying:— The constitutional and independent authority of ‘State courts and legislatures is endangered if not now supported by @ patriotic and liberty loving sentiment so strong among the people that party and partisans dare not defy it, During tite four years of my admin- istration our State has not been wholly freo from domestic troubles, The public peace has on more than one occasion been threat ened, Strong bodies of men, moved by some supposed wrong, have threatened to ert and vindicate rights wholly independent of the remedies and proceedings provided by law. In no instance has the authority and power of the United States been invoked against them, but in every in- Ay g | stance have the peoplo preserved the public peace and maintained the authority of the State and the suprem- acy of her laws, A people so carelul of their own in- stitutions and so capable of preserving them, aud of muintuning the constitutional rights and prerogatives of their own State government, cannot be indifferent when other States are threatened with overthrow, or the ae- struction of rights and privileges without which no free State can ex!

LOVE TRIED BY FIRE—TEN SECONDS OF DOUBT AN AGE OF AGONY--A FARMER AND HIS WIFE DESCRIBE THEIR SENSATIONS IN THE FALL- ING CARS. Derroit, Jan. 3, 1877. If every individual who went down with the ill-fated railroad train at Asbtubula and lived through the ex- perience were to write up his or her sensations and adventures none would display that coolness and heroism described oy Johnson B, Orburn and his wifo, who were on their way to the Saginaw Valley, Both are past forty, and Mr, Orburn is an Ohio farmer, who lately purchased a farm im Suginaw county, As the train pulled out from Ashtabula the farmor’s wife began eating luncheon, and her husband was trying to read a newspaper by the light of the dim lamp. THE FALLING TRAIN. He says he feit the first movement when the bridge gave way. Ho first imagined that one of the wheels under bis car had become detached, as acorner of the car seemed to settle down alittle, He dropped the paper and seized the back of the seat in front of him. Yhen tho whole car seemed to lift up, and several women shricked in al There was no sen- sation of falling, On both agree that they thought the car was running up asteop nill, This would prove that the rear end of their car settled down first, From the tme the bridge gave way till the struck the ice not moro than ten seconds could have clapsed, and yet during that brief interval the husband threw one arm around his wile, she grasped the seat and asked what had happened, and he told hor to secure a braco tor her feet and added:—“We are off tho track and running through the fields!” The rear end of their car struck first, smashing itself te kindling wood, the débris being thrown over the passengers in front The farmer found himself on the floor, held down by a mass of wreck on his left leg, while his wife was thrown across bim, with the wreck of two or three seats holding her against the side of tho car. While thus held, and berore either had spoken, one end of the car settled a little and ihe wife was released, A PLUCKY PAIR. “Mary, are you living!’’ asked the husband, being his first words after the fall. She replied that she was not even hurt, beyond a bruise or two, and hy this time the shouting and confusion around them provod that the train was of the track, though neither one suspected that it was more than «a tumble into a way- side ditch. It was wonderful how a woman could re- tain her presence of mind under such exciting ciroum- stances, but Mrs, Orburn didn’t even cry out after tho shock, Scores of other passengers were surieking in pain and fright as the cold waters flooded one end of the car and the flames began to eat away at tho otber- The woman cleared herselt of the broken seats just ag the fire started, and she then ascertamed that her husband was pinned fast to the floor by the wreck of tmatter on his leg, which was partially bent around one of the iron standards of a seat. She worked with all her might to set him free, but the raging flames were how only afew feet away, and the smoke and My the contrary, heat wore becoming terrible, “Mary, take bold of my foot, bend my leg toward NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1877. nn A LC LL TT GA, you with all your might and see if you can’t break it! called the husband, who thought he could easily free himself if the lez .was released trom its cramped position, The wile seized his toot, meaning to obey, but at that moment the car lurched over a little and’ her busvand reloased yimself. When they lett the car her dress was on lire, showing. that another minute would have enveloped both in the flames, Both were able to walk to the hotel as soon as re- leased, having escaped with only a few bruises. The heroic wife and mother was not only ready to obey ber husband’s orders, but she bad a plan of her own. 4 WOMAN'S DEVOTION, “When 1 saw the flames just upon vs,” sbe said, “and while 1 was sure that my husband would be burned alive, 1 made up my mind to put one of the cushions over him, lie down on top of that, and hope that, while I was being burned up help would come to him for our children’s sake.”? “1 was atraid she wouldn’t be strong enough. to break my leg,” added the husband, ‘and then it would be all up with me.

A MURDERER'’S DOOM. EXECUTION OF MAJOR AT CONCORD, N. H., FOR THE MURDER OF HIS WIFE AND SISTER-IN- Law. Coxcorp. Jan. 5, 1877. “ Elwin Willis Major, convicted. in Docember, 1875, at Nashua, of poisoning bis wife, was hanged at the State Prison here this morning, Major’s wife died sud- denly in 1874, und ner death was at first attributed to natural causes, but subsequently suspicions were uroused which induced the authorities to cauge the ex- humation of the body, when strychuine was tound in the stomach, . A sister of Major’s wite having died suddenly im 1869, hér body was also exhumed, and traces of strychnine found in the stomach, and cir- cumstances seemed to warrant the presumption that Major having maintained criminal relations with his sister-in-law poisoned her to get rid of her. On the first trial of Major the jury failed to agree, but he was convicted of the murder of his wile on the second trial, Until within a few days he has confidently anti- cipated a commutation of his sentence, and avowed his innocence throughout, Up to the very hour of his execution he was unmoved, and spent last night calmly in religious devotions. At the scaffold he was urged to make « confession, but reiterated his declaration of innocence, Before the drop was sprung his nerve de- serte’d him, and he fell upon his knees utterly broken down. He died without a struggle.
