a vein of bitter sarcasm as the following The
Chronicle of Thursday evening in closing its

witnessed the trial from seats inside the rail

defendant Mrs Paul, in the exuberance of
her joy, kissed Mr. Woodbmn of the counsel
for defense, but omitted to kiss Mr.. Branson,
Woodburn's colleague, although Branson is
the handsomest man by long odds. ~ After
this what is the use Of being faithful Con

New York, May 19-There was an exciting
scene in the State Assembly at Albany, yes
terday, on the question of the passage of the
appropriation bill for 81 ,000, 900 to complete
the new capitol building. The workingmen
were given to understand that the bill would
be passed even if the Governor vetoed it.
When the roll was called the necessary two
third vote to override the Governors veto
was wanting. The crowd in the galleries
yelled against those who voted against the
workingmen's interests, and as some of the
members appeared outside several were beaten
and driven back by the yelling crowd, and
members were obliged to escapa by the rear
doors to their hotels. A large body Of police
subsequently arrived and drove the crowd
from the Capitol and from the Governors
house, which was threatened A large crowd
then went to the Delevan House and other
hotels, threatening to mob the members, and

doing so, to throw additional light on
the questions which have already been
so ably and thoroughly presented, and
the solution OF which is SO obvious and
simple. Bat, understanding from tha
communication l have received, that
the object contemplated By the proposed
conference is solely that [ might place
before you my views of the impeachment
to the peaceable and orderly organiza
ton of a single and u~ndisputed State
Government in South Carolina, AND OF
the best methods of removing them,
shall avail myself of your invitation Sc
that I may reiterste in person what

by the people OF this State, can at once
be removed by the Withdrawal OF the

The action on the part of the Com
mander-in Chief of the United States

people as an evidence that the civil au-
fhority is no longer to be subordinate
to the military power IN u country

bitterly denounejng Brigham Young.

No compromise.

Gov. Nichols has issued a proelama-
ton to the people of Louisiana in
which he says the State government is
now complete in oil its branches, and
that the people may rest assured that
his government will not be imperiled
or impaired by any compromise Of theii
rights. That is the right kind of talk,
and is equivalent to saying that the
HAYES Commission shall not overturr

There Is much Conversation here
about written pledges said to have
been made by President Hayes closest
friends and advisers during tho progress
Of the electoral count to certain Demo
Gratis. The following seems to be tie
facts:
When flibusteriDg in ~the-FIouse was
at its height several Democratic Sena-
tors, among whom was Senator Cor
don, wero called into council by some
Of the Southern Representatives, who
felt it to be their duty to vote against
all dilatory motions and to stand by
fhe electoral bill in good faith. Senator
tsordon stated that he had not response
o,llty as to the count, inasmuch as he
WIS not a member Of the House, but
that he did feel the responsibility Of
pre- ,tecting, as far as be could, the
government Of Governor Hampton and
the people of South Carolina, as he
had been specially asked to do so, and
won d go, therefore, to Mr.. Foster, OF
Ohiir, and others, to know in advance
OF tie completion of the count what
was 30 be the fate of South Carolina
and Louisiana. General Gordon did go
with John Young Brown, Of Kentucky,
aud demand a written pledge on his
capacity as a friend of the Hampton and
Mich oils governments that they should
not be disturbed, whatever might be
the result of the count. 1t is alleged,
and not denied, that some such pledges
were given in writing by Stanley Mat
