cred his determination to step down and
cut OF the State-house OF South Carolina
as soon as the troops are removed from

wait the result OF the issue in New Or
leans. This will compel Hampton to
take his case in the Circuit Court to se-
cure Chamberlain's ejectment from the
State.house, though it will prove to be a
matter of form and OF brief delay. The
whole Southern policy is awakening a
bitter feeling among many Of the Repub-

nounced it very warmly in a conversa.
lion to-day.
