| WASHINGTON, November 27.-President
Grant writes to Secretary Cameron that
Chamberlain is now, beyond controversy,
Governor of South Carolina, and remains
so until a new Governor is inaugurated,
and directs him to sustain Chamberlain
against domestic violence until otherwise
ordered. In forwarding this to General
Ruger, Secretary Cameron says:
"Advise with Chamberlain, and dispose
OF the troops to carry out the spirit of
Grants order"
Chamberlain's request to Grant came late
yesterday. Grant called General Sherman
and other military men to council, which
was continued at the White House till near
~ midnight.
Secretary Cameron replied to the question
as to whether there is anything startling,
ooh, no. Nothing particularly startling,
only that Governor Chamberlain has made
special request for certain disposition OF
troops, and the orders have been given"
The Presidents advisers in the confer
cncc were Cameron, Sherman, NGeigs, Bar
nard, and Van Welt. The movement,
though possibly suggested by Chamberlain
for other purposes, is intended to suppress
| turbulence.
| United States Judge Bond writes "The
CanvassinS Board have never been advised
by me- No one has applied to the Federal
| Circuit Court OF this district. II any per-
son does apply, and there Is q statute for
it, nc shall have relief. II there be no statute
he must seek his remedy elsewhere"

! TCRE-A DISPATCH TO PRESIDENT GRANT.
COLUMBIA. November 27.-Thc following
+: dispatch, signed by Senator Gordon OF
Georgia, General Il. II. johnson OF Fir-
ginia. General Wade Hampton, several cir
cult Judges, and large number Of State
senators and representatives, white and

OF the State, has just been sent:
I" To the President Of the United States:
eve, the undersigned. visitors from a
distance, committee OF the Democratic MEM
bers-clect OF the South Carolina Legislature,
the Democratic Executive Committee, and
citizens. having Just seen by an Associated
| Press dispatch that Governor Chamberlain
has applied for United States troops to be
placed under his orders at the assembling OF
The Legislature tomorrow, send this our
solemn protest against the troops being
placed under command OF Governor CHAM
bcrlain. We have no objection to the pre-
sencc OF troops, and will cooperate with them
In preserving the peace, but we protest
against the Use OF the United States army i'll
controlling the organization OF the Lc@isia-
turc and enforcing the Inauguration OF Gov
crnor Chamberlain, who has been defeated
by the white and colorc;! voters at the bal
lot-boy. There is not the rcmotest danger
OF disturbance of the peace by Democrats.
Ii il occurs it will heat the instiGaton OF
Governor Chamberlain, whose partisans have
taken the only lives lost in the late exciting
canvass i'll the State. Not one drop OF blood
has been shed in any political disturbance
except by Republicans. 1t is literally true
that the Democrats received their greatest
maioriieS in the counties where the United
States soldiers were stationed. What pre-
tprce, therefore, is there for Governor
Chalnhcrlains demand for troops to keep
the peace: We refer for confirmation OF
these statements to the commander OF the
United States forces ut this place and else
where in the State.'
