No More Changes.

Secretary Chandler after having
cleared out the lazaroni of the Int
rior Department, has announced that
there shall be no more changes, and
that it is useless for any body to make
application for an appointment. Not
withstan1ing all that has been said
against the new Secretary in the col
umns of the leading dailies, in the
east, and elsewhere; he has been
gradually but surely gathering
to himself the confidence and good
will of the better classes of the coun-
try. He is strong and able man,
and if ne wills to do so, has it in bis
power to lnaugurate a new era III
this important department of the
public service. He is capable, no
doubt, and it is hoped he will
prove to be the "right man in the
right place." In this respect he
comes within the strictcst rules of
civil service, and we trust he will, in
time. demonstrate that he is not
only capable, but faithful public
servant

Uurge upon the masses their duties

so many from taking an intelligent

effective weapons against despotism,

GRANTS LATEST BULLETIN.

The following dispatch was sent from
Washington to the New York Tribune on
Monday last, giving the latest expression
from Gen. Grant ~ to his intentions re-
garding the Presidential contest. The
reference to Ell unlawful combination in
Indiana relates to AN absurd rumor that
rifle clubs were organizing a conspiracy
10 overthrow the government i'll Gaze
Tilden was not inaugurated:
NEW YORK, Dec l8.
4 Washington dispatch to the Tribune
SAYS: The President, in conversation with
a friend this afternoon. said that thus far
he had received no official information OF
any unlawful movement in Indiana or
elsewhere. He has seen occasional refer
ence in newspapers to political agitations
in certain sections Of the country, and
has received information 70 that effect
from other unofficial sources. The ad-
ministration, he said. is not insensible tn
the necessity of vigilance. Whether
these reports are true or false with refer
ence to the Indiana excitement, the Pres
ident thinks that, should it spread, the
loyal sentiment Of the majority Of the
people Of that State and Of the whole oi
the country will have influence en- ,ugl,
to prevent any outbreak.
The President said, further, that it is
gratifying TO observe the conservative
spirit shown by many Of the Southern
| leaders He feels assured that the same
disposition will ultimately prevail all
over the land, and ne beiievea that the
men who are now disposed to incite civil
war arc only those who have everything
to gain and nothing to lose in the event
of such national calamity. If the
emergency does arise, the President said
he should not hesitate to execute his con
stitutional authority. Whoever Ia form.
ally declared " the President of the
Senate 10 have been elected will be recog
nized by General Grant. To that perso,
will he surrender the rcins OF authority
II is not his desire 10 force upon the peo
| pie any particular person; but he viii
see that the person declared to be elected
as his successor is placed in possession q
the government. He is not the judge o
the election. When the question is de
termined. his duty will be plain.
General Grant said that before ant
since the election he had used his execu
tive power only for the enforcement O
the laws and the preservation Of peace
and such an exercise of the powers con
ferred upon him he will continue unit
the last moment of his responsibility
He does not think that government
which has wthstood the shock of nearly
four years Of battle will now fail before
the clamor Of n mob. The power Of tn,
President to call out the militia Of til,
States in the event Of attempt to resis
the inauguration Of the President legall,
declared to be elected is one which Gen
Gran! will not hesitate to use, should an,
'.ccss;om arise. He said that il WIS mi
recollection that during the riots in New
York in 1863 portion of the Nntiona
Guard Of the Empire State was callct
out by direct authority Of the President
and co-opcratcd with the regular Unitet
States. troops in the suppression of th'
disturbance.

THE. SOUTH CAROLINA TROUBLIs.-
The Chamberlain government in South
Carolina seems to be doing its beat to
provoke an outbreak, but is not likely to
succeed. There is q rumor that it is the
intention of Governor Chamberlain to
cause the arrest of General Hampton on
II charge of treason, and our specia, :e.
port indicates that in case the attempt
should be made by any force other than
that of United States troops it would be-
resisted. The Mackey House has passed
law declaring that any persons setting
up government or claiming to be o gov.
ernment aganSt the legally elected gov
ernment of the State shall be adjudged
guilty OT Irenson, anu imposing very
heavy penalties in fine and imprisonment.
All who mid or abet in the offence are
subjected to similar punishment. But
such n. law, or the arrest of General
Hampton with or without such n. law,
would be futile. The question would
still remain, Which is the regular and
iegally elected government? The State
courts alone can decide this, unless the
State is put under the military rule. of
the United States. Suppose General
Hampton should he arrested7 He would
be taken beioIe the courts ON a writ of
habeascoEpus aud released. There would
be 70 necessity for fnrcible resistance.
Suppose the Mackey House law shou d
be passed by the Senate and signed by
the Governor The courts wanld prn-
nounce it waste paper and no law at NIL.

ernof Chamberlain threaten to turn on,

HAMPToN's INAUGURAL-The New
York Herald makes the following COM
ment upon the inaugural address of Gov.
Hampton: tut
In this document he recites, with great
severity of indignant comment, the pro.
ceedings Mt Columbia during the last
few weeks. But he only protests and
denOunces he docs not suggest any re.
sort to violence. So far from that he
praises the moderation of the conserva!
tive members OF the Legislature for their
forbearance, discretion and peaceful de-
rneanor under circumstances of great
prosocatiea. !. ;s the right of 81 sS<
grieyed party to arraign aud expose its
;.frc;;ss3nenta tn remnl,strnfe with warmth
against their injustice, to hold them up
to public Reproduction, and to resort to all
legal and peaceful methods for the redress
OF wrongs. Ge~eeTTIior Hampton could
not have been expected to "apeak with
bated breath" on such an occasion, and
he will be the better able to rcstrain and
cnatrol the passions of his people and
keep them within the limits fthe law bv
letting them see how fully he shares their
Indignation. There can be no doubt that
he hns acquired such q moral aRcendaricy
over the citizens OF South Carolina that
there would be no substantial opnnsition
to his government il the federal troops

ponce, maintain order and tranquiIizr the
State from the instant that The right. of
