The South Carolina Commissioners con-
slider the abrupt termination of the President

ing TO themselves and State. They treat it
as declaration of war, and in this spirit

terdsy, returned their note without COM
ment. 1t is not true, as reported, that Sena
tor Bigler has sent dispatches to New York
saying the national difficulties would be set.

in financial quarters. The use of his name
