dampen the hopes of those who are interested
in sustaining the validity of these bonas, but
it is better tina, they should not hug delus

The election in Chicago resulted in the re-
election of Heath as mayor by nearly 10000
majority, and the triumph of the whole Heath
combination over the democratic nominations
by maJorities ranging from three to ten
thousand. The Heath combination, by the
aid of such adroit manipulators and treasury
leeches as Hickey, the Hesings, Hildreths,
&c, succeeded in drawing away from the
democrats most of the Irish and German vote,
rendering their triumph of course easy. The
Times calls the result the triumph of "the
thieves, the thugs, the garrOters, the burglars,
the bunko .steerers, and the riffraff generally.
The thieves and their leaders having been
taken into the confidence OF his party, Mr..
Heath is now bound by honor-if only the
sort Of honor that is said to obtain among
thieves to stand by his friends. Upon this
result Chicago is certainly to be congratu-
lated -

After all, Hayes's democratic postmaster
general Key must be somewhat of milksop.
Hitherto the p. NJ. General has occupied a
room of his own IN the general post office
building and mis- first assistant another room.
But now Tyner, Morton's man, who Is called
first assistant, occupies the same room with
Key, and divides with HIM all the business
and responsibility of the office. Indeed to
the common observer Key is more the assist.
ant than Tyner and it is we'll understood that
Tyner retains full control of all the business
and appointments north of the Ohio river and
only allows Key to suggest democratic ap-
pointments in the south where Tyner can't
find republicans fit for the place. They are
called in Washington the two Dromios, but it
would come nearer the truth to call them
principal and socius, or spy, Tyner being the
latter.

The republicans are already manifesting
uneasiness IN regard 10 Mr.. Adams, the demo
cratic clerk of the lower house of congress,
who, under the law enacted when rcr ublican.
ism was in the ascendant, is clothed with
almost unlimited power to make returning
board Of himself and decide as to who shall
or shall not be admitted to seats as members
of the house during the preliminary stages of
organization. 1t is to be hoped Mr.. Adams
will not lack the nerve TO follow the many
excellent precedents set by his republican
predecessors under law which worked ad-
mirably when used on the side of the republ
cans, but which doubtless they will not fail to
denounce as detestable contrvance when
used by any body else.

general impression in regard to the functions
of the commission are, however, probably
correct, to wit: that they are first to attempt

governor Of Louisiana and accepting some
other good thing; or, if he proves to have too
much back bone for that, then the commission
are to make such report as will enable
HAYES to back out of the Louisiana business

THE SOUTH CAROLINA DECISION.

Israel has triumphed gloriously and Wade
Hampton is governor of South Carolina with
all that pregnant fact involves. The summon.
ing of Hampton and Chamberlain to Wash,
ington, each to fight his own case, is what
did the business. When Hayes and his cab
met came to see the men and hear them talk,
The difference between a man and carpet.
Dagger was so marked and impressive, that
Chamberain's case was lost on sight. AT
first the president himself manifested some
sympathy, and united with the carpetbagger
IN attempting to get terms of Hampton.
Wouldn't he agree to let the republicans
have the legislature and thus senator or
two or wouldn't he agree to commission
of five-2 democrats, 2 republicans, and a
fifth to be chosen by the four-to arbitrate in
regard to the Legislature? No; Mr.. Eamp-
ton wanted no returning board or electoral
commission IN his'n. The troops occupied
the state house in Columbia unlawfully-
even Evarts and Sherman conceded that
and all he wanted was that they should be
ordered away That and nothing more; and
there Hampton stood immovable. Finally
on Saturday the president gave way, and it
was agreed in cabinet that the order to re-
move the troops from Columbia should be
issued on Tuesday. Chamberlain was terri.
bly, indignant When Hayes tried to appease
him by the offer OF lucrative appointment,
he actually boiled over with (simulated)
rage. Finally he begged as favor that the
troops should not be removed until his re-
turn to Columbia, which would be on Friday,
and this Hayes conceded,
The order, which is dated at the eXecutiveI
mansion April 3D., begins by little stump
speech by way of preamble, stating how the
troops happened to be at Columbia and how
the president, according to the "principles
laid down In his inaugural" can't see the
consistency of keeping them there; where
fore the Secretary of War is directed to see
that the proper orders are issued for the re-

WHAT OF WELLS!

Sherman, and other conspicuous actors in

when the Union forces took that city Wells
suddenly developed as heavy cotton plant
er. He was found TO own hundreds of bales of
cotton that were raised by and supposed to

Wells never wholly abandoned the fiction
that he owned it, SO a week ago we find him
again appearing before the southern claims

little claim of $5O0,0OO, with twelve or four
teen years interest, for cotton seized
by the Union army in Louisiana. The
claim has been rejected over and over both

and lie brings it up again with more conf
dence than ever. Is it true, as several wit.
