AT the request of Mr. Hayes, Gov. Wade
Hampton and ID. II. Chamberlain visited
Washington last week, for consultation
with the Executive and his Cabinet i'm re-
ference to the political difficulties in Soutb
Can Olina. Hampton arrived on Thursday
and left for Columbia on last Tuesday.
Chamberlain following him YESTERDAY.
Both were well received and separately had
several talks with Hayes and the different
members of the Cabinet. Hampton's ar
rival created intense interest throuobout
the city. Crowds of people besieged the
doors of his ho;el, all anxious to see him
and grasp his hand. 1t is safe to saw that
the appearance of no other public man at
the national capitol could have created
more genuine enthusiasm. Wade lIamp-
ton did not go to Washin to comoro-
mise his legal rights, but firmly, fearlessIv
and with becoming dignity to reassert and
maintain them. He told the President
that the people Df South Carolina had
elected him Governor and that he was
oOeyed and recognized as such throughout
the State, except by few followers of
Chamberlain who have their Offices in the
State House; that lie would protect the
rights of al her citizens, white and black
that he die not want to be officially recoo.
Htzed as Governor; that all he desired was
the withdrawal of the troops from tho
State House, and if that was d.ae he would
appeal to the Conrts under the law of the
State, to give him peaceable possession of
the building.
At the Cabinet meeting on Monday it
was decided that the troops should be with.
drawn, and the Secretary of fWar has desig-
mated next Tuesday, the 10th inst, as the
time for doing so. Although Chamberlain
protests against all this, he says, very truly.
that when the troops leave he will be
poweriess and viii quietly yield to his fate
Under the wise and patriotic administra
ton of her affairs by Wade HAMPTON.
South Carolina will speedily recover from
the blighting effects of carpet-bag rule.
and enter upon pedceabie and prosperous
future.

y CORRESPONDENT of the Reading Eagle
gives startling account Of very singular
phenomenon witnessed in young girl re-
siding three miles over the hills from
EphIata. Drs. Beck and jerome report
the facts. She is daughter of Edward
Hyatt, and is i'll her thirteenth year. Up to
within two years ago she appeared perfect
ly healthy, but recently a strange and
mysterious affect ion has seized upon her.
She has gradually increased i'll size to an
alarming extent. From her head to her
feet her limbs are swollen and she appears
neatly twice as heavy as she was three
weeks ago. when the fact is she is much
lighter. Her skin is drawn tightly over
her flesh and it more resembles an inflated
bladder than anything else. The poor
chiln suffers little pain, but she is greatly
mortified at her shocking appearance.
None of her clothing fi,s her, and She says
she feels as light asa feather An expert
ment WIS made in bath tub fill, q with
warm wafer, and she actually floated like
a life preserver. Her entire body is puffed
and her cheeks, arms and limbs seem
swollen and ready to burst When the
cuticle is puuctured with silver needle
air escapes III puffs, and in this manner the
skin is prevented from bursting. 1t is not
dropSy. The patient says she feels light
enough to fly, and as the case is mystery
to the physicians it is intended TO take her
to Philadelphia for examination.

y New RELIGIOUS COMMUNION IN ENG
LAND.-The Whitehall Recieto is RESPONSE
Bile for the following extraordinary state
ment: I'VE make public the astounding
fact that a section os members of the Church
of England have taken measures for found
ing what Will be nothing less than a new
An9 iican Communion. This resolution has
been come to i'll consequence of the action
taken by the Auglica prelates, under the
Public Worship Regulation act. ! brand
new Archbishop, with a very ancient title,
is to be consecrated by one or more foreign
prelateS. Secondly, two sufflagaus, each
with TILES from old English sees, are to be
consecrated simultaneously, but (as we are
given to understand independently, aud
are to begin theiI conjuined labors in Eng
land, in the High ChaIch interest, in July
next The difficulties attendant upon the
consecration of the Archbishop and his
sUtfragans as far as regards any iutcrfer-
ence with existing jurisdictions, whether
Popish or others) viii be sulmnuuted by
the ingenious plan of cousecrating them
upon the high seas. The formularies of
this new ecclesiastical body are based upon
the dogmaS and rites of the Latin and the
Greek churches. 4 brief 'Sacramentary'
has been officially dawn up containing the
order for the administration OF the Seven
Sacraments. The manual contains instIuc-
tlons for the chrism or prayer-oil as in
the Greek aid Roman churches"

Col. THOMAS y. SCOTT.-Col. Thomas
A. Scott, President of the Pennsy lvania
Railway Company, aud at the present mo-
ment the most prominent parsonage in the
railway affairs of the country, commenced
early life in the business ofrailroading, aud
knows from experience how to sell tickets,
to rake packages of freight, to choose tie,
to inspect n rail, to criticise locomotive
and to measure With the eye the contents
of a warehouse, a mass of freight, or a
train of cars. His experience began even
earlier than this. He knew all about raft
ing on the Susuuenanna and its tributaries,
all the secrets of the lumber business,
booms, canals, coal mining, and the ratio
of increase of production. After accidents
or storms he was always out the quickest
with MS gangs of track makers and bridge
builders, restoring the integrity Of the
road. His equable temperament accom-
modated itself to the rough enthusiasm of
a crowd o. laborers or the careful studies
of the engiucers. He was of that Scotch
Irish stock which had passed in pioneer
days beyond the settled limits of the COM
monwealtb, and cut down the forests, COM
menced the roads, and started the towns.
His acquaintance was universal, and eve
rywhere he was n master spirit. He knew
every man OF capital or rising consequence
i'll the service of the company, and met
one after another the able men who were
to come forward in the growth of railroads.
uis temper was democratic, his will i'm
peIial He was familiar with legislative
as with practical work, and saw far ahead
into the schemes Of ambitious or avari-
cious politicians who were constantly la
boring to make the railroad an adjunct of
their own fortunes. Although he has
been invited into many enterprises, and
has been President a one time of probably
more railroads than any human being, he
never lost sight of his prior relation to the
Pennsylvania Railroad. y genial nature
and capacity and love of work have kept
him young, and he never frets.

FORTY YEARS DEBT. Forty years
ago the father of lady in New York was
Il miller in Ireland. a man of the name
of Raftis owed him debt OF $50, which
for some reason he left unpaid, and came
to New York. Years after, when on his
death bed, this unpaid debt weighed heavi-
ly Oh his conscience, and calling his brother
to- his bedside be gave i'm the money and
exacted a solemn promise that the debt
should be paid. The brother at once wrote
To Ireland and learned that the miller was
dead, aud that his only heir, a daughter
was married and living somewhere in
America, but he was unable to ascertain
the name Of her husband With only the
name of the lady's father and the fact that
she lived somewhere in America, for clue.
Mr.. Raftis commenced the seemingly hope
less task of searching for her aud redeem
ing bis pledge to his dying brother By
accident he heard of a lady living in Du-
bnque whose family had borne the miller's
name. He visited her, and after asking
her few questions, learned that the object
of his search was found. Mr.. Raftis in
sisted on not only paying the original debt,
but forty years interest,

IHE CARNAGE THAT WADE HAMPTON
RODE IN.-The carriage rendered Wade
Hampton for drive in Washington belongs
to an enthusiastic Democrat and keeper of
livery stable, who bought it at the Centen-
nial, where its great beauty attracted his
attention. He brought it TO Washington
and vowed that he would retain it unused
until MIR. Tilden cane to be iuaugurated
when that gentleman should ride in it from
the White House to the capitol. 1t was
meantime to be kept sacredly free from
meaner employment. It's elegant vaneer-
ing and its rich upholstery of cherry colored
silk were put under tarpaulins and the
whole cover ed out of sight. But Mr. rilden
was not lnauguratcd and the owners de
spair was excessive. The coach lay id lie
and its owners vow unbroken. At last
the arrival of Gov. Hampton suggested an
expedient. The latter was SO closely a
parallel to Mr.. Tiden in the political
campaign that his advent in Washing ton
was the next thing to Tildcn's Inaugural
ton. SO the Carriage was brought out
from its hiding place, the hay seed aud
dust were brushed away, the glass bur
nlshcd and the establishment turned over
to the governor, with the addition of "a liv-
erred coachman and gold-mounted harness.

Rev. r. II. Rivers preached an
excellent sermon Sunday at the
Methodist Church upon the gather
ing of the people to Christ. He
said the church must be made at
tractive by every means 10 induce
the people to attend. 1t must win
the people by its purity by the
beauty of its holiness, by the sweet
ness of it's songs, by the excellence
of its appointments, by the logic,
eloquence and argument of its min
listers, by pleasant surroundings, by
the charity and brotherly love of its
members, by devotion and pure
godliness. People will not attend
a church that neglects these invit-
ing appointments and assumes airs
of straight-jacket puritapism and
repulsive long facedness. We quite
agree with him. Such sermons as
his are winning in the extreme and
encourage the people to look upon
religion and church going as n
pleasure and a profit. a church
cannot afford to send up balloon
every Sunday to get the people to
attend, but it can invest itself with
many beautiful and inviting attrac
tions that will not only please the
mind but will inspire a deeper and
purer religious pleasure that will
serve to attract the people there,
and having secured their presence,
will operate upon their hearts and
inspire them to holiness. The
ceremonies should be beautiful, the
singing should be beautiful, the
preaching should be beautiful, and
the temple of God invested with
such an air of excellent beauty as is
appropriate to the holy place. Then
will the people gather to church,
and greater will be the gathering to
Shiloh in the end
