RUMORS OF COALITION AND co.
OPERATION.

Especial dispatch to the Baltimore Gazette.
WASHINGTON, June 22.-I am relia-
bly, informed that q compromise has at
last been effected between Governor
Chamberlain, of South Carolina, and
Senator Patterson. The new programme
is this: Chamberlain will be re-nomi-
mated for Governor, with colored man
for Lieutenant Governor. Immediately
after the election, and as soon as the
General Assembly convenes, the Gov
ernor will have bill passed redeeming
the conversion bonds, one of his pet
schemes, which has been held in abey-
ance. Senator Patterson's Blue Ridge
scrip will also be taken care of at the
same time. After these schemes are safe,
Chamberlain will then be elected to the
United States Senate to succeed Senator
Robertson. This arrangement will prove
especially distasteful to ex-Congressman
R. B. Elliott, colored, who has been re-
garded potential candidate for Robert.
sons place. Senator Patterson has ex-
erted his influence with the National
Republican, and that paper will discon-

private telegram from Columbia states

his denunciation of Governor Chamber.

A remarkable coalition in the interes
of power and plunder is said to have beer
formed between Governor Chamberlain
of South Carolina, and Senator Patterson
by which the reform movement in tina
State inaugurated by the former is to bt
broken up. Chamberlain has been here
for several days, and has affected recon
ciliation with Patterson. The result ii
said to be that Patterson will suppor
Chamberlain for reelection on the con
dition that the latter is pledged to redeem
what is known as the Blue Ridge SCRIP
and the almost worthless conversion
bonds issued some years ago by the State
He is then to be sent to the United States
Senate and the colored Lieutenant Gov
ernor will become Governor. Patterson
is largely interested in the Blue Ridge
scrip and others in the bonds, which arr
all to be refunded under the bargain int
new bond to be issued by the State.

of course be a party to it.
Apropos of Patterson, it may be vel
to correct the statement circulatin,
through the South Carolina newspapers
to the effect that he was appointed b,
President Grant on the board of exami
ners to West Point. The appointment
was made by the president of the Senate
who first selected Senator Clayton, o
Arkansas. Clayton declined, and ther
was a general disinclination 10 accept tn
appointment, owing to the approaching
close of the session. Patterson, however
asked for the appointment, and it wa
given to him. It seems to have beel
considered essential to appoint carpet
bagger, which requirement Patterson fill
completely.
Tie Baltimore Gazette contains Wash
ington special in this mornings issue il
which it is stated that Governor Cham
berlain and Senator Patterson had settle,
their differences and formed an alliance
which is to make the Governor Senate
Robertson's successor. The story find
very little credence here. Governo
Chamberlain cannot afford to sacrifice tn
fair reputation he has earned by associa
ting himself with Patterson, and fame
that Senator Robertson will be his owl
successor.
