All quiet here to-day. Hampton and
Butler Left here at 1890 this morning for
Washington. They were met at Flor
eHce by Gen. Connor and other gentle
men, constituting q committee from
Charleston.
The party were met at the Wilmington
depot this morning by an immense crowd
With q band of music, and great enthusi-
asm prevailed. IA apeech was iuade by
Hon. 4. III. Waddell, on behalf Of tue
citizens &C Wilmington, TO which kaap-
ton and Butler replied. Hampton said
he would ask no recognition of Hayes,
that he had been fairly elected, and if the
Democratic party administered tho gov.
eminent in this State peace and prosper
ity would follow.
Great preparations have been made oil
along his route, and his progress through
North Carolina and Virginia will be ono
continual ovation. This is in striking
contrast with ChambeTlain's hurried and
unnoticed journey.
It is said Hampton will have similar
popular attention at Washington If he
will allow it or will stay long enough to
receive it. He proposes to remain there,
however, only twenty-four hours.
Gen. Butler while here spoke in q very
confident manner of Hampton's early
and full recognition.
The &aS says it is not probable Cham.
berlain will now return to Columbia.
Gen. George A. Sheridan had an inter-
view with the President this morning.
He sees no reason why the friends of
Nichols should feel the least uneasy.
Lieutenant Governor Simpson 10 in
charge here.
Military riot at Mayence on tho birth
day of Emperor William, between Prus-
sian and Hessian soldiers. Several were
killed and forty wounded. Among tho
killed were two officers.
Ex-senator Robertson, who arrived this
morning, reiterates Buffers assurance of
Hampton's immediate recognition. He
says the stand the people have taken in
the matter Of taxes was effectual, and
could have but the one result now ppeedi-
ly to be developed.

auat at Washington.
COLUMBIA. March 25,

COLUMBIA, March 25.
In consequence of failure to make
connection at Charlotte, Gen. Butler,
who was expected to arrive this morning,
did not reach Columbia until late hour
this evening. Your correspondent called
upon him as soon az practicable for the
purpose of obtaining information Ms to
the object of his visit, the real meaning
of Hayes invitation to Hampton and
Chamberlain, and other matters of press-
ing interest. Gen. Butler informed me
thu. he had just arrived on o special
train, that he was very much fatigued by
his journey, and in consequence of the
lateDess of tho hour would be unable to
see Governor Hampton tonight. A Sc
we're rain storm which has been prevail
ing the entire evening prevented Hamp:
ton from coming into town. Gen. Butler
said, in brief, that his visit was not i'm
metiintciy connected with hiF. Hayes
proposition, but is rather for the purpose
of informal conference. He proposes to
see the Governor and to give him all the
information of which he 10 possessed, but
hns no particular advice Of, his own or of
leading Democrats at Wellington to offer
Mt first was rather adverse to Governor
Hampton's going TO Washington, bnt it
is thought that such q conference might
be productive of good, while it could do
no harm. No prospective compromise or
arbitration is involved. in the Presidents
proposition, which he thinks only con-
templates securing from Hampton per-
aonnl assurances Us to the safety of prom
inent Republicans in this State, in the
event of Hampton'g recognition, the
President having been most zealously
piled with representations that they
would certainly be subjected TO oil man
ner of prosecutions, especially of legal
rature, if left to the tender mercies of
..4e Democrats iiere. There is but little
moro to be. said, in view of the fact that
no conference has yet been had between
Governor Hampton and his advisers. A
full statement of his views and intentions
will dnnbtless be given tomorrow. Gen.
Butler is by no means depressed, but, on
the contrary, expresses bimself very
hopefully, not to say confidently, and
gives abundant reason for the faith tttlat
is in him. 3..!4,; $. ll.rr,
Governor Hampton said to me, yester-
day that he would not determine upon
his course in reference to Mr.. Hayes,
proposition until he had carefully con-
sidered the matter. He, may possibly
conclude TO go TO Washington, but would
only do so as matter of personal cour-
tesy to the President. He is willing to
give him oil tho information necessary tn
full understanding Of the state Of Of.
fairs here, but the conference would be
purely personal and in no wine official.
He considers his case as already made

An effort will be made to persuade him
out of the way, aud it is believed here
that he is not unwilling 10 go, but If ne
should prove obstinate, not only will the
troops be Withdrawn and Governor
Hampton told to go ahead and take poz
session by legal pIocSss; but the Presi.
dent will take care to put Mr.. Chamber
lain SO clearly in the wrong before the
country that he will get no sympathy
from any quarter. This is the plain
truth Of the matter. It is worth teiliDs.
because Washington was never 80 full OF
false rumors as il has been in these days
when the carpet-baggers are making
their last desperate stand .ai...
In an interview with Attorney-Gen
eral Deyens on the situation In South
Carolina and Louisiana, Genator Gordon
suggested that the logical sequence Of the
situation compelled either the withdraw
al Of the troops from the State Houses or
the withholding of the State Houses
against both governments that the Ad.
ministsation refused to recognize either
government in either State and therefore
If the troops we're not withdrawn they
must, Of NECESSITY and logically, 5o used used
to keep those State Houses as neutral
ground; that it was not, and could not
be, logically consistent to say that neither
government should be recognized by the
Administration, and yet to use che troops,
by the Administration, to teep one gov
ernment in possession oftho State Houses,
and the other government out. He ins
sisted that there was TO answer TO this
conclusion, but urged the withdrawal Of
the troops, not from the States at all, but
simply from the State Houses, as the only
course consistent with the doctrine Of
non-intervention, and free from embar-
rassment.
= Governor Hampton, says the New
York ,Jun, showed pretty correct ap-
probation of the situation when he re-
marked the other day TO the correspon-
dent of the Charleston Journal of Cafn-
merce, who mad asked his opinion about
the proposition to have o new election in
South Carolina, that he would not enter
tain it for moment. "But," he added,
''if Mr.. Hayes would consent D make O
new race for the Presidency, he would
be quite willing to make new canvass
for the Office of Governor"

was assured that Governor Hampton
would not como here to argue his claim
to be Governor before the invitation WAS
sent 10 him and Chamberlain. Governor
Hampton bases his claim on the votes OF
the people, ana will not submit il to tho
President. If he comes here at all, il
will be to give the President his pefsonal
assurance that the troops may oe with
drawn without danger to the public
peace, and, upon this assurance, il 70
firmly believed that Federal support will
be Withdrawn from Chamberlain, which
is all (so II ampton's friends say that is
required.
There is much conversation here about
written pledges said 10. have been given
by President Hayes closest friends and
advisors during the progress of the electo.
raj count to certain Democrats. The fol.
lowing seem TO be the facts: When fiji.
clustering in tho House was at its height,
several Democratic Senators were called
into counsel by some Of the Southern
Representatives, who felt It to be their
duty to vote against all dilatory motions
and to stand by the electoral blu in good
faith. Senate: Go.dc:: s.a ted TIE TIE he had
no responsibility rs to the count, mas
much as he was not member Of the
House, but he did feel the responsibility
of protecting Us fai as he could the gov
ernment of Governor Hampton aud the
people of South Carolina, as ho had PROM
ised them specially to do 10, and would
go, therefore, to Mr.. Foster, of Ohio, and
others, to know in advance Of the com
pietion of the count what was to be the
fate of South Carolina and Louisiana.
Gen. Gordon did 60 with John Young
Brown, Of Kentucky, and demand writ
ten pledge, in his capacity rs friend of
the Hampton and Nichols Governments,
that they should not be disturbed, what
ever might be the result of the count. II
is alleged, and not denied, that some such
pledges were given in writing by Stanley
Matthews and Foster.
An intimate friend of Governor Hamp-
ton said this evening that iu ell probabil-
ity that gentleman could visit this city
in response to the invitation of the Presi-
dent.
No ultimation can yet be obtained from
the Executive Mansion regarding the
Louisiana Commission. The President
remarked tonight, in reply to an appli.
cation for information upon this subject,
that there was nothing that could proper
Iy be made public at this time.

Mr. Hayes, the fraudulent President,
is slow to do his duty towards the States
troubled by carpet-bag usurpation. 1t is
not surprising. az we could not expect to
find man who would accept an Office
bestowed upon him by fraud and corrup-
tion actuated by very high and cnnobling
principles. It is not to be wondered that
he is 10th to withdraw his support from
the thieves who assisted in stealing the
Presidency for him. He had as we'll act,
however, as Hampton is Governor and
Chamberlain private citizen, and 1t is
no compliment TO the intellect of the
President not TO recognize the inevitable
fact.
