South Carolina returns give Hampton lead amid Union bayonets
The Troy Herald reports Gen. Hampton winning by 1134 in South Carolina while Grant and Chandler retain state power with federal troops. It condemns the election turmoil, attacks usurpation, and calls for Northern action to defend constitutional government against the alleged conspiracy led by Grant Chandler Morton and Sherman. The piece cites arson in Blackville and Florence, violence against Black voters, and disputes over troop deployment.
