~ All the members of the Cabi.
net except Fish called on the Presi-
dent in body on last Saturday.
The Times Washington dispatch
says, speaking of the Cabinet meet
ing on Saturday: at is known suf-
fciently well that some of the Cabi-
net were in favor of the election of
the Democratic mass meeting from
the Legislative Hall in Columbia. by
the use Of the military power. The
views of Secretary Fish became
public two years ago when the
military interferred in the organiza-
ton OF the Louisiana Legislature.
He has not changed his mind since
then, and necessarily opposes active
Federal interference now. Mr.. Fish
is not alone in the Cabinet in the
position which he occupies. 1t was
agreed on all hands that Gen. Ruger
should do nothing but see that no
violence is used and permit no riot.

THE SITUATION.

We are disposed to say TO the
readers OF the GAZETTE, that the
situation in the political affairs Of
the country has much improved since
our last issue. We must say at the
same time that so startling and
rapid have been the moves on the
political chess-board for the past
few weeks, that we almost fear TO
make an announcement of fact, or
opinion. lest, before our readers see
our statements, everything will be
changed,
SOUTH CAROLINA. af.sae
Since our last issue, the Legisla-
ture Of this State has been convened
the United States soldiers guard
ing the doors OF the Capitol. and
admitting none to enter except Re-
publicans. Under the manly protest
Of Gov. Hampton, Senator Gordon,
and others. the President has aban-
doned that feature OF his policy, and
has permitted all members having
certificates of election to enter the
Halls at Columbia. The Republican
House organized with SO members ;
the Democratic House with 65 mem
bers. Some Of the Republican mem
bers have abandoned their party,
and joined the Democrats, so that
nothing but the active interference
Of the Army Of the United States
will now prevent the Inauguration OF
Hampton as Governor, and Demo
cratic rule in South Carolina. A
quo tCaYTGnto has been issued by the
Supreme Court of that State against
the Hayes electors; and thus the
matter stands in that State. If law
prevails Hampton will be Governor.
and the Electoral vote Of the State
will be cast for Tilden. If the mill
tary dictator succeeds in his plans,
Chamberlain will be Governor, and
the vote of the State will be counted
for Hayes.
LOUISIANA.
In this State the Returning Board
have made no announcement of
results. The Democratic committee
consisting of Gov. Palmer, Senator
Trumbull and others have, over their
own signatures. published letter
in which they show the actual vote
cast for the electors by the returns
e0hieh acre placed IN the hands Of the
Returning Board: From this it APP
pears that the least vote cast for
any Tilden elector was 81 ,959, and
that the greatest number cast for
any Hayes elector was II, 023. They
say, 'In IS out of the So States in
the Union. these figures would be
conclusive, and no one would claim
that Tilden and Hendricks were not
entitled TO the electoral vote Of the
State" Here again, if law prevails,
there is no question as to the result.
But if a military dictator and his
menials are to decide, no one can
foresee the result.
At WASHINGTON
Secretary Fish is outspoken against
the policy OF the President in
South Carolina. The President de
MES that he gave the orders on
which Ruger acted in South Carolina.
But. Ruger says he acted on orders
from Washington. Upon the whole,
there is a perceptible backing down
in administration circles, and plenty
of plain talk about impeachiug
Grant.

The hard times affect more or less all

several positive reasons Why the great
