CHICAGO, Dec. 2.-The Ti6une's S
Washington special says: It is fully
understood among the friends of
Gov. Hayes that he has made no
such propositions to Southern men
as the New York Herald charges in
editorials and dispatches. His let
ter of acceptance on Southern af-
fairs represents exactly his inten
tions, and Southern Republicans
have privately declared they see in
such policy promises Of real and
lasting reconstruction.
NEW YORK, Dec. 81. - E. A.
Woodward, one of the ring conspir-
ators under the Tweed reign, and
who was arrested some three months
ago in Chicago. and lodged in the
4Toombs here, has been released on
his own recognizance. He has sur
rendered over $4,000 to prosecuting
counsel. His testimony is to be used
in the ring prosecutions, and his re-
lease does not nuilify the indict-
ments against him.
The appointment OF Conkling in
place of Logan on the electoral
committee will compel him to show
his hand before long on this ques-
tion. He has skilfully concealed
his sentiments as yet.
The Ha'ulds Washington special
says: The Hayes wave once more
advances. There is no doubt that
the Republicans have been greatly
encouraged by the conclusion of the
Democrats that Gov. Hayes re-
ceived the votes eff South CorOlina.
It was an unexpected result to them
apparently. As it gives them. with
out further dispute, one OF the three
States, they count that one-third Of
their victory is assured. The letter
of Hampton to Gov. Hayes adds to
their satisfaction, and this report
has somewhat demoralized the Dem
ocrats, who find but little satisfac
ton in Gen. Hampton's disclaimer.
TALLAHASSEE, Jan. 2.-The Su-
preme Court met yesterday, but did
. not consider the paper filed by the
Board of Canvassers on the 9th ult.
as such an answer to their peremp-
tory writ as the curt could accept.
1t was returned to- the Secretary of
State and the court ordered the
board to answer. by o'clock; can
vassing the vote for Governor and
emitting in their return any votes
cast for any other office, as the rights
of Presidential electors and mem
bers Of Congress were not matters
before the court. The board made
a return at five o'clock. when the
counsel for relator asked and was
granted until to-day to examine the
returns, and the court adjourned.
COLUMBIA, S. G, Jan. 2.-Gov.
Hampton has issued an address call
ing upon all faithful, law-abiding
and loyal citizens, who desire to
maintain the government of their
choice, to come forward promptly
and pay ten per cent. of the amount
of taxes paid by them lastyear. Gov.
Hampton says it is for the people Of
South Carolina now to determine
whether they will support the gov
ernment they have installed or the
attempted usurpation, which is only
upheld by the bayonets of the Fed
eral troops.

ing the testimony about various
murders, but nothing especially
sensational was ELECTED.
