WASHINGTON, November I.-President
Grant writes Secretary Cameron that Cham
berlain is now beyond controversy Governor
of South Carolina, and remains go until q
new Governor is legally i~naugurated, and
directs him to sustain Chamberlain against
domestic violence until otherwise ordered.
Forwarding this to General Ruger, Secre-
tsry Cameron says: Advise with Governor
Chamberlain and dispose troops to carry
out President Grants order.
Governor Chamberlain request to Presi.
dent Grant came late yesterday. The
President called General Sherman and
other military men to counsel, which con-
tinued at the White House till nearly mid
night. Secretary Cameron replied to
whether there is anything startling 7"
"Oh, mo-; pothing particularly startling,
only Governor Chamberlain has made .
special request for q certain disposition of
troops, and the orders have been given."
The Presidents advisers in the confer
nard and Van VIiet. The movement,
though possibly suggested by Chamberlain
for other purposes, 10 intended to suppress
turbulence.
A Herald special from Columbia says:
Judge Bond has told ex-United States Sen
ator Chestnut, Judge Bacon and others
that he has no idea of interfering, that he
is here one week before his court meets
solely for the purpose of examining into
the business to come before him without
any other object whatever.
Judge Bond writes: The C~anvassing
Board has never been advised by me; NO
one has applied to the Federal Circuit
Court of the district. If any person does SO,
| and there is q statute for it, he shall have
relief; if there be no statute he must seek
| his remedy elsewhere.
The Times Columbia dispatch sage:
| Enough Republicans will absent themselves
to give the organization of the lower house
to the Democrats.
