WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-In Republican circles
here it is asserted by men who usually know what is
going inside of politics that the of the Adj
ministraton in sustaining the Chamberlain party in
South Carolina was largely influenced by informa-
ton that the Democrats, acting under instructions
from NewYork, did not mean to crest satisfied with
the Inauguration of Wade Hampton, but intended to
carry out scheme for stealing the electoral vote of
the State. The programme was, it is believed for
the Legislature TO create a Returning Board
and for the board to set aside all the decisions of its
predecessor, and give certificates to the Tilden
electors. With the control of the Legislature the
Democrats, it is asserted, could have successfully
played this game and thus have rendered any
further question to how Louisiana has gone
a mere matter of idle speculation. With South
Carolina, Tden would have the one vote wanting
and six to spare.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-.The story started by The
Faskiagt0R Nation that Gov DennisOn would tee-
graph to Gov Hayes to withdraw is answered by the
following authorized statement from Gov. DennisOn
himself:
may have had casual conversation with the editor OF
The Nation the subject Of the Presidential election
but certainly said TO HIM nor to any other person
that think the solution OF the question is for Gov
Hayes withdraw that fraud is TO be used in secur
ing bis election. I may have said that in my opinion
Gov Hayes would not accept the Office Of President I'M
less fairly elected but have never purposed to advise
him on the subject have telegraphed him that In my
opinion he ia undoubtedly elected next President OF the
United States and believe that fraud alone can
aepnye him OF 1855 electoral votes.
