wrote tho following emphatic letter
to tho secretary of war. Gen. John
son and Secretary Cameron were

pleasant and friendly. Here is the
letter =
COLUMBIA, s. c., November 80.
Hon. d. Donal0 Cameron, Secretary
Of |pt", Washington, ID. g.:
Owing to the interference of Uni
ted States troops yesterday, the
Legislature of South Carolina failed
to organize in the State House. The
Republican members, with 50 pres
ent, organized in the hall of the
House of Representatives. The
Democrats, with Cd members, pre-
vented byt roops from entering the
hall, organized in another place.
To-day, the Democratic House en-
tered the hall peaceably, and shortly
afterward the Republican House
entered. The two Speakers ore ex-
ercising control Of their respective
bodies. The united assembly thus
meeting as a dual House are debnting
p opositions Of adjustment and their
respective rights in peaceahle and
orderly manner. Parliamentary
questions are decided by each Speak
er as they arise IN his own House,
and the struggle is parliamentary
, one for control of the hall and the
acknowledgment of the House as
the legal representatives of the
people of Sonth Carolina Thero.is
not the slightest probability of n
breach of tho peace. The difference
will be adjusted according to legal
parliamentary methods. It has no
refereRoeto the Presidential electors.
The result can in no way Interfere
with the election of President or
members Of Congress.
In this condition of affairs, when
the people of South Carolina them
selves in legal, orderly manncr, are
settling their own dif1escnca eff nmong
themselves when their action can
in no way influence OF tend to inhu
encc the Federal questions, I ask
you, as one of the legal advisers of
the President of the United States,
as the head of the army of the Uni
ted States, rs a citizen who desires
to protect the constitutional rissllts
of all citizens and of all States, not
to allow the troops of the Union to
interfere, but to allow the people of
the State to make their OWN adjust
mcnt Of their OWE differences i'm
their own way.
Urgent appeals are doubtless
made to you to prevent "a alleged
breach of the peace. I tell you there
is no danger Of such breach hap
poning.

The court denied the writ, holding
that the grounds Of the application
were not sufficient to warrant their
issuing it.
They have captured a fish in
Florida, near Cedar Keys, to which
the inhabitants have given the
name of the carpet bagger. It has
the head of q catfish, the body of
an eel, and the legs of lizard. 1t
is allied to tho screwfish, well known
in Florida, whose habits have been
made the study of Pratt, of Palatla.
In the summer time, when tho st.
Johns yields its beautiful grasses,
it swims up and unscrews it's head,
which by the aid Of four well defined
legs, goes out On the banks and eats
the sweet grasses. When winter
comes it goes back, screws the tail
ON, and makes the water of the lovely
st. Johns it's home Naturalists
have designated it us belong to tho

When the Democratic caucus mot
in the hall of The House Of Represen
tatives at Raleigh, N. G, tonominate
United States Senator, Hood, the
Republican member from Henderson
county, walked in. The door-keeper
told him none hut Democrats need
apply, and that he would have to so
out. He got out accordingly. Next
morning O member went into Hoods
room and found him packing his
trunk. He asked for an explanation,
when Hood told him that his people
had sent him to the Legislature,
but if he WAS to be collarcd and put
out of the hall, he be dad-drat if he
wasn't going home. Had he
not leen stopped in time
ne would have gone sure enough, and
the sheriff with his posse would
probably have visited Raleigh to
rcseat him.
