A Telegram to the Baltimore Gazette

This is arrant folly. There is no ''old
Whig party'' to work upon. There are nc

Gay" We give this week letter from Hayes
to Gov. Hampton and d. II. Chamberlain, ask
ing the two latter TO meet the former In Wash
mgton. either in person, or by confidential
delegate or letter, to convey to him (yomr) their
views of the impcdimcnts to the peaceful and
orderly organization of single and undisputcd
State government in South Carolina, and of the
best methods of removing them"
There's rat in the meal tub, sure Hayes
knows just rs well as Hampton does, what the
"impedimcns' arc, and he knows further that
he could remove those "impediments" in much
quicker tine than it would take Gov. Hampton
to go to Washington or write single letter All
he has got to do is to authorize his private Sec
rcary-if he is the proper person under the red
tape rulo-to order the removal of the troops
from the State House. at Columbia. In twenty
five minutes from the PRONUNCIATION of that or
der at our Capital "a single undsputed State
government in South Carolina" would bo 'pcace-
J"ky organ'zeo," aud the people would almost for
get that Hayes friends sloo tho Office Of Presi.
dent for him. in their great and great rejoicing.
We sincerely hope Gov. Hampton will not go to
Washington. As Gen. Butler says, he "can do
no good there. If however. Chamberlain re.
spends in person ~ Hayes letter, we should
lie, perhaps, would not he so discreet as Gov.
Hampton, but wo are sure his language would
be more forciJie.

The letter to Mr.. Chamberlain from Presiden.
Hayes. is another stumble in the dark. The
people Of the whole country are becoming weary
of this temporizing, PecksniIinn policy. Either
Chamberlain is q much maligncd saint, and en-

proposition is true. Mr.. Hayes should hesitate
no longer. There is no middle path between
right and wrong, and if the President is the man

THE ODD MAN On TIE RIGHT SIpE.-Washins-
ton, March 22.-The odd man is OH the Demo
cratic side of the fence this time. The Cabinet
after talking through two sessions o-day aud keep
ing their teeth more tightly closed than usual in
their communications with ncwspa per men, have
agreed to different policy in the Hampton
Chamberlain case from that decided upon for
Nichols and Packard. The odd man who made
the vote stand four to three to-day, in favor of
Withdrawing the troops at once from the sup
port Of Chamberlain, was Thompson, of the Ma
Wy Department, but it is understood that Devens
also had strong leaning towards the Hampton
side, which was unequvocally espoused by
Evarts, Schurz and Key. The Cabinet came to
the definite conclusion to withdraw the troops
ut once, but even after this conclusion was reach
ed, so radical was the views Of Sherman and Nc
Crary that it was thought best, in Difference Is
them, to make effort at compromise, and for this
reason they decided finally that before the order
was given TO withdraw the troops the rival Gov
ernors, Hampton and Chamberlain, should them
selves be summoned to Washington and before
the Cabinet. This is to be done in the hope that
when Chamberlain is brought here the princi-
Piles Of the Stantly Mathews letter will DO more

HAYES lioPEs.-The hopes Of Hayes are thaS
he will be able to get an Administration majority
in the House, through discreet use of his
Southern patronage, and by promises OF large.
expenditures OF public money in Southern in-
ternal improvements. The bargain he is trying
to make is utterly discreditablc and it is graft
flying to see that so far the Fraudulent President
has not succeeded in purchasing his men. 1t is
of the highest Importance TO the welfare of tho
South, to the cause Of Government economy,
and TO the interests Of the whole country, that
the Democratic majority iii the House shall work
together, and bear unccasing testimony to lis
hatred Of the frauds by which the people were
cheated out Of an clcctiou.-N. \. San.
