The President and Cabinet on
the Eve Of u Conclusion.

NLAt MlNe OA ~
Our Washington dispatches indicate
that the President and Cabinet have ut
last reached conclusion in the South
Carolina case, and that Hampton Is the
Governor whom they have concluded to
recognize. This conclusion was to have
been anticipated for days past, II not
from the very first, in fact from the whole
tone OF the Presidents inaugural.
The withdrawal OF the United States
troops from the guardianship Of the State
House at Columbia, South Carolina, does
not necessarily carry with ii settlement
Of the Louisiana difficulty, but We do not
see how the two cases can be very well
kept apart. The South Carolina difficult
ty, it ia true, is simpler than the Louis.
lana imbroglio, although the decision Of
the Returning Board. in that State was in
favor Of Chamberlain, just as in Louisi-
ana 1t was in favor Of Packard. In South
Carolina, however, the Democratic Com
mlttee OF Congress decided that Hayes
and Hampton bad carried the State, and
there is now no dissent from that YER
dict that amounts to very much.
Hampton, during his visi: to Wash.
iDgton, seems TO have had a very full and
free series Of interviews with the Presi.
dent, and, despite his unguarded speeches
en- route, to have made good impres'
sion, and TO have arrived at unsatisfactory
understanding with the entiOe admins
tFation. He has not hesilated to declare
himself fully committed to the impartial
protection OF all classes OF citizens, which
protection is, apparently, the end for
which the President has been waiting
and working all along. The President
knows enough to know that this sort oil
guaranty must I've secured now, for
