Hayne was born in Charleston, South Carolina. He was the son of a white father and Isabella R., a free black mother. He was the nephew of powerful South Carolina politician Robert Y. Hayne. Educated in Charleston, he worked as a tailor during his early years.[2]
While in office, it was alleged that he received a $200 bribe for his vote on railroad-related legislation.[1] In 1871, he accepted a bribe from Henry G. Worthington Two years later, he was elected to the South Carolina Senate for a four-year term. He left politics with the end of Reconstruction in 1876.
"During the month of December, 1871, H.G. Worthington gave me the sum of $500 at the State House for voting against the resolution of impeachment. John J. Patterson, now United States Senator, first spoke to me about the matter and told me to see Worthington. I had a conversation with Worthington, and I said to him that I didn't see that Scott ought to be impeached, and yet there must be something in it, as the Committee who had been appointed to look into the matter reported that there were grounds for impeachment. Worthington said there was nothing in it, but that Bowen was urging it because he had a spite against scott, and that he would give me $500 if I would vote against it. The next day after the vote, H.G. Worthington paid me the $500 over Fine's, up stairs. No one else was present when Worthington handed me the money. C.D. Hayne[3]"
