ORDER HOWEVER INTERPRETATIONS TO GoRpoN'
WASHINGTON, April 10.-Ihe President and other
members OF the Administration seyerally express
their qualification that there was no disturbance
consequent on the withdrawal of the troops from
the state House at Columbia and that there is abs0
lutte peace. They expected this result from the as
surances of Gov. Hampton, otherwise the order for
such withdrawal would not have been issued. Be
Sides Gov Chamberlain, when here, said nothing to
the executive authorities which would lead TO the
belief that he would commit any act to obsruct the
wishes of the Administration on behalf Oh Cow
Hampton.
No dispatches have been received at the Executive
Mansion to-day regarding events at Columbia. Gov
Hampton telegraphed TO Senator Gordon this after
noon as follows: Perfect peace prevails. Troops
Withdrawn and Chamberlain surrenders. South
Carolina thanks YOU Senator Gordon responded
to Gov HAMPTON rs follows: Your telegram just
received The friends of peace justice, and consti-
tutional government everywhere rejoice with you."

W,suIyGloN, April 1O.-Secretary Sherman has
determined to enforce the act of March 3, 1879 re-
ourinc that after JAM 1, 1876 appointments to the
Treasury Department shall be so arranged as TO be
proportionately distributed among the several
States. the Territories and the District OF Column
biq according TO the population. By direction Of
the Secretary the rolls the Department have been
carefully examined to ascertain the residence OF those
in Office 1t has been found that New-England,
New-York, New-Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware,
Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, and the
District of Columbia have largely exceeded their
quota. In view of this fact, he has directed the
chief of the appointment Office 10 have no appoint
ments made in the Department from these states
until their quotas are reduced as contemplated by
law.
The Secretary has also determined to enforce the
nile that only one member of family shall hold
Office il the Treasury Department. 1t has been dis
covered that Notwithstanding the efforts of Secre-
tary Brstow to prevent this, whole families are in
some cases upon the rolls, drawing salaries which,
in the aggregate, amount to as much as $4,000 IA
year. There are many equally capable persons more
entitled 10 the positions kept ont by this clrcnm-
stance. In a number of instances men have married
lady clerks but on the rolls this does not appear
A conference was held at the Treasury Depart
ment this evening for the purpose OF considering
the proposed reorganization of the corps of special
agents and of determining what disposition should
be made of the report on the subject made by the
Second Assistant Secretary of the Treasury 1t was
decided practically to abolish the eight grades now
existing in the corps of special agents, and to re-
organize the entire force under three grades, with
compensation at seven ard eight dollars aday super
wishing Special Agent Moore, who was removed to-
day, but who is continued officer of the corps
will probably be seut to NewYork TO prosecute the
investigation of the silk frauds.
