I Special to Charleston Journal of Com 1 merce.J ColtJmbia, April 6. The reception of Gov. Hampton to-day was the grandest ovation ever accorded any public officer, and creates an epoch in South Carolina history. The' band of the 18th United States Infantry headed the column. There were eight companies and sundry clubs and societies in the procession. The special train bearing Governor Hampton and the committees and organizations en route, who accom panied Gov. Hampton to Columbia, arrived here at 3.15, ana was receiv ed at the depot amidst salvos of ar tillery and deafening cheers. An im mense concourse of citizen soldiery, firemen, citizens, ladies and children, greeted the Governor upon his tri umphant return, the demonstration far exceeding that of "Hampton's Day" in Columbia during the cam paign, in point of numbers. A profusely and appropriately dec orated phfeton, with four magnificent bays attached, conveyed Governor Hampuuv Ccptain VV. B. Stanley, Colonel F. W. McM aster, Colonel J. P. Southern, and Master Willie ft. Catheart, to the stand erected in front ofCarolina Hall, and occupied in jrJFt j by Judges Willard and Maekey. Ex-Senator Robertson, Colonels Haskell and McMaster, and a number of prominent citizens." Gov. Hampton then addressed the immense crowd in pretty nearly the same strain be did the Charlotte people, which we published yesterday. Governor Hampton, who was much fatigued by his journey, retired amidst prolonged cheers : and the immense throng of civilians and sol diery quietly dispersed. The utmost uiet and order attended the cere monies throughout. Chamberlain Will Not Yield. New Yoek. April 6. The Post's Washington special says governor unaniberlain lett here this morning for South Carolina. At a fonference between Chamberlain and some of his friends last night, be in formed them that he had determined, after reflection and consultation with prominenrTtepublicans, to bold on to his office and not to surrender or leave the State House until ejected by civil process, as Governor Wade Hampton lias given a pledge to the President that neither himself nor his friends will resort to violence. Chamberlain said he was confident he could main tain himself as Governor for some Ume to come and prevent Hampton from being recognized as Governor y the legal Legislature. The Re publicans, he said, had an admitted 'Majority in the State Senate, and unless Hampton can get control of this body he will be powerless to !ject Chamberlain, the State Consti tution providing that the Legislature shall be the sole judge of the election of Governor.

Nagle & Co., Philadelphia, Pa. Morning WILMINGTON, A Reminiscence of the Closing; Scenes of the War. The Raleigh News is publishing a series of reminiscences connected with the sur render of Raleigh, among which we find the following relative to a young Wilming- tonian, Mr. Theodore C. James, at the time a Lieutenant in the Confederate ser vice. While on a visit to Raleigh in 1865, shortly after the surrender, we heard from various citizens of the place substantially the same statement of the affair as given by the writer in the News. There was on duty, at Raleigh, a young omcer named James, a lieutenant in the Confederate service. Lieutenant James was attached to the provost marshal's of fice, whether as chief or as an assistant, the writer does not now distinctly remember. He had lost an arm in the service, which tact doubtless accounted lor his transfer to a less arduous position. His amiability of character, added to, the gentlemanly man ner in wmcn ne discnarged his duties, had rendered mm quite popular with our citi zens. .bany on tne morning of the surren der Lieutenant James, while returning on norseoacK irom a visit to lady mends in the northeastern part of the city, was met Dy some ot Kilpatrick. s cavalry, who. ob serving that he wore the uniform of a Con federate omcer, summoned him to an un conditional surrender. James peremptorily refused, and drawing his side-arms, prepar ed to derend Himself. Me was, nowwver. overpowered by superior numbers and taken prisoner. It was soon after Kilpat- riik had so summarily disposed of the un fortunate young Texan, that a squad of men arrived on tne ground with .Lieutenant James in charge, and reported him as hav nif violated the rules of war hv nnpn rt sistance since the surrender of the citv. I xrtk t-:Au l l i --..I - oi Who are you ?" "My name, sir, is James Lieutenant James, of the Confed erate .service." was the renlw. "Whv ar you not with your command ? What are yuu uuiug siggum- aoouv r re you a I onv V" pnnnirpn K i nof npL- " I am nr I'-'fJ Avn., .a. caau straggler or spy either ; lam attached to the provost marshal's office in this city. answered James. " Ah, indeed," said Kil patrick, "so much the worse for you. sir ; you must have known of the surrender of the city, and yet, as I am informed, you snowed ngnt wnen my men at- tempted to arrest you. I did not know of the surrender," said James. "I had been visiting, and supposed from the action of your men that a skirmish was going on between your advance and some of General Hampton s rear. Such being my impression I defended myself as best I could. I would do so again, sir." "I have just hung a man for an offense simi lar to yours, sir," said Kilpatrick. "Very well.sir, ' said James, "you have me in your power, hang me if you like." This last remark caused a thrill of terror among the bystanders. The writer felt sure that the reply would be an order for another execu tion, ivilpatrick paused a moment and looked James full in the face, the latter re turning the gaze in a bold ana defiant man ner. It was a fearful pause. We trem bled for our young friend. Presently the answer came, and with it a load of dread ful suspense was removed from many trembling hearts. "No," said Kilpatrick, "1 11 not hang you. "Orderly," ne con tinued, addressing the man in command of the squad, "take charge of this young man until further orders." In obedience to this order, James was taken from the ground. Amid tbe great excitement of the occasion tbe writer lost sigbt of him after tbis, but was pleased to learn that he was released in a few days on parole." Criminal Court. The following cases were disposed of- by this Court yesterday : State vs. Ida Evans, charged with lar ceny, uase continued lor tne prosecution for the term. State vs. Thomas Johnson, charged with larceny. Defendant found guilty and sen tenced to confinement in the State Peniten tiary for ten years. State vs. William Price, charged with larceny, who was convicted, but recom mended to the mercy of the Court; judg ment suspended on tbe payment of costs. State vs. 'Alonzo Elri alias Alonzo John son, charged with larceny. . Defendant found guilty, but declared insolvent. This defendant, under the name of Thomas Johnson, had already been convicted in one case of larceny and sentenced to the Peni tentiary for ten years State vs. John Melvin, charged with lar ceny. Defendant found guilty State vs. Martha Williams, alias Martha Melton, charged with larceny. Defendant found guilty and sentenced to the Peniten tiary for five years. State vs. Washington Nois, charged with larceny. Defendant found guilty. In the case of Tamer Jones, charged with assault and battery, on trial at the close of our last report, a verdict of not guilty was returned mistook. Tnelr calling A one-legged tramp, claiming to hail from tbe Crescent city, leisurely sauntered into the City Court room Friday; evening during the session of the Board of Alder men, and inquired if that was the guard house. Being informed to the contrary, he shook bis head ominously, and, gazing wo fully upon the assembled " Fathers," said "Ah, I seel another 'Returning Board, fixing up the results!" and be then pro ceeded to give his opiniou as to the late ad dition to our machinery political. His bril liant and scathing oration was finally cut short by an order from tbe Mayor to take himself below. He protested bitterly against this treatment; said they had Returning Boards in New Orleans and also in Colum bia, where he had but recently been so journing, and how should he be expected to know that they were not in vogue here also. His protests, it is needless to add, were unavailing, and the indignant indi vidual was escorted to the guard room by two policemen. Fire In Brunswick. We learn that the distillery of Messrs. Dock & Applewhite, in Brunswick county about four miles from Brinkley's station, on the W. C. & A. R. R., together with about 30 casks of spirits turpentine, 150 barrels of rosin, 400 new spirit casks, &c., was entirely destroyed by fire on Friday last. The fire was caused by the boiling over of tbe charge in tbe still. The loss is estimated at 3,000, upon which there was no insurance. N. C, SUNDAY, APRIL 8, 1877. Tbe James Beaten Cases. On Wednesday last one of the cases against James Heaton, Clerk of the Supe rior Court, for misdemeanor in office, was called in the Criminal Court and the de fendant failed to answer, whereupon a for feiture of bond was entered against him and his sureties. Subsequently the de fendant appeared in Court and through his counsel, M. London, Esq., made an excuse to the effect that at the time he was called he was unavoidably absent in the discharge of his official duties as Judge of Probate. The counsel for the prosecution demanded an affidavit to that effect, which was after wards introduced 6y his counsel, and two deeds were produced and handed to His Honor, Judge Meares, which defendant claimed he had been engaged in proving, conveying the impression that be had been to the residences of the parties interested to take the necessary privy examination. After argument the Court finally ordered the forfeiture of bond stricken out. After tbe above action was taken, how ever, facts came to the knowledge of the counsel for the prosecution which caused them to ask for a rehearing in the matter, they claiming that deception and fraud had been practiced on the Court, and that de fendant had been guilty of perjury. Tbe case came up for" consideration yesterday morning, when counsel for defendant stated to the Court that if there had been any fraud or deception practiced he had not been a party to the same. Several witnesses were examined as to the whereabouts of defendant at the time he was called in the case referred to, and a party to one of the deeds produced in Court, and whose wife defendant had been supposed to have visited for the purpose of examination in relation to the document, testified on the stand that no such examination had taken place, and that Mr. Heaton had not to his knowledge, or that of his wife, visited his house for that purpose. It was shown, however, that de fendant did visit the bouse of one of the parties to the other deed, but it was strongly intimated by the counsel for the prosecution as their belief, from all the circumstances, that the visit was made after it was foudd that he had compromised himself and his bondsmen by being absent when called for. Mr. London made a brief argument in de fence of his 'client, and Hon. D. L. Russell, for the prosecution, animadverted strongly and severely upon the action of Mr. Hea ton in the premises, asseiling as his opin ion that be bad been guilty of as cool and deliberate perjury as had ever occurred in any court "since the morning stars sang to gether." At the close of the argument His Honor ordered that the judgments striking out the forfeiture be stricken out and the forfeiture be reinstated, and tbat the case take its regular course. George Rlgnold In Henry V. It turns out that the report to tbe effect that Mr. George Rignold, the eminent tra gedian, had decided not to visit this place, was a mistake. His agent, Mr. G. W. Middleton, arrived here last evening, and makes the announcement that Mr. Rignold will appear at the Opera House in this city on Saturday next, April 14th, in his favor ite character of Henry V., a colossal spec tacular performance, with all tbe costumes, properties and mechanical appliances from Booth's Theater, New York. His troupe embraces forty-five -dramatic artists, with sixty auxiliaries on the stage. Speaking of Mr. Rignold's appearance in New York, on the 9th of February, the Home Journal of that city says: There was also excellent acting, and bril liant and imposing as were the accessories. they did not overpower the personalities of tbe artistes, "tienry v., as tne nanosom- est King of England, tbe prince of good fel lows, a hero in war, and a true knight in peace, was admirably represented by Mr. George Rignold, of London. This was the actor's first appearance in this country. He won enthusiastic applause, was repeatedly called before tbe curtain, and made a de cided success. He is sure, with his good looks and princely and martial bearing, to be tbe idol of tbe ladies. A Desperate Prleoner Thomas Johnson alias Alonzo Elri alias Alonzo Johnson, colored, who was con victed of larceny in two cases yesterday, and sentenced in one to confinement at hard labor for the term of ten years, cut up Some very ugly capers in Court, demon strating the fact that he is a desperate and dangerous fellow. He was very defiant impudent and insulting ancLfinally had to be placed in irons. It was thought at one time that he might attempt to escape, or even to spiing over the railing and try the experiment of clearing out the Temple of Justice and taking matters into his own hands. He will be kept ironed in his cell until his transfer to the penitentiary takes place Personal. We had the pleasure of a visit from Ad jutant General Johnston Jones, who is on an official visit to our city. He is the editor of the Raleigh News, and is rendering ef ficient service to North Carolina in both of his fields of labor. We welcome him to Wilmington, and trust he will have an agreeable time. Mr. Theodore Horjgood, connected with that excellent and prosperous weekly, the Wilson Advance, called to see us. We were glad to hear such a favorable report con cerning our sprightly weekly contemporary.

An attempt was -made some time during Friday night to break into and rob the box deposited in the corner stone of Giblem odge, corner of Eighth and Princess streets. By means of a chisel two or three of the bricks had been partially removed, and it would not have required, perhaps, more than two minutes additional labor on the part of tbe thief to have accomplished his object, as but very little remained but to remove the zinc covering to the box in order to get at the contents. It is taken as a matter of course, that the thief was by some means frightened from his purpose ust in. the nick of time.
