NEW YORK, April 4.
A special to the World from Wash
ington says: Chamberlain has decided
not t o enter upon any legal contest
with Hampton over the Governorship,
but to return to Columbia, issue an ad-
dress to the Republican party and then
remove from the State forever. He re-
fused to enter into a bargain Oh com
promise with the Administration ante
cedent to the decision of the President
for the removal of troops from the
State House, and it is believed this in
cludes his refusal to accept a Federal
office, though Cha mberlain does not
say anything one way or the other
about that. He declares that he sees
nc hope in a contest in the face of the
Presidents decision, and protests that
he made no compromises, and he leaves
the State of South Carolina penniless.
He returns at once to pack up his per-
sonal effects, issue his address, and re-
turn to Washington to meet his family,
who will remain here for the p. esent.
1t was agreed that Patterson should
serve his term of two years in the Sen
ate from South Carolina, and that then
he too should leave the State and re-.
turn to Juniata county. Pennsylvania,
his old home. He will be the last of
the carpet baggers.
In making appointments, the Presi-
dent has adopted a general rule that
where al officer has served for four
years in a satisfactory manner, the
character of his official services will
stand AS a recommendation for reap
pOintment, unless in case Of we'll -sus-
tanned objections of the people.
Where, however, an officer serves tor
eight years, this period of servitude will
operate against his reappointment, the
President holding that eight years is
the maximum, provided IN equally
competent and meritorious man is an
applicant for the place. This rule is to
be specially applied to the appoint
ment of POstmasters whose salaries
exceed $1,000. and who are commits
stoned by the President. The rule will
not he applied with the same rigor to
Postmasters whose salaries are below
s 1000, and who are appointed under
the law by the Postmaster General.
There are about 1000 Postmasters who
are required to receive their appoint
ments from the President, and over
$4,000 who are appointed by the Post
master General.

A T'I6une's New Orleans special
says: Whether q solution can be
reached in Louisiana As speedily as in
South Carolina, it is yet too soon to
say. Packard, however, says if he is
forced to abandon his position, he will
make a noise before he goes. The
from the Commission. II opposes
compromises and only wants the
troops Withdrawn. Packard is not col
Letting a dollar Of taxes. Nichols is
making collections of taxes, however,
as if he was indispu,ably Governor.
Packard's only hope Is in recognition
from the President and the continue
ton of military occupancy of the State.
There is a new movement among the
Republicans opposed to Packard o or
ganize a Hayes party. A private meet
ing was held at the St. Charles Hotel
this evening. Among those present
were two former Republican members
of Congress and the president OF one
Of the city banks. This points to a
still further dis%integration Of Packard's
political forces here.

that they were finally defeated, OK.
