letter was written by the President and
sent to the Secretary Of War to-day:
Executive MANSION.
WASHINGTON, D. O., April 8, 1877.
Sir: Prior to entering upon the duties
OF the Presidency. there had been sta
toned by order of my predecessor in the
State House at Columbia, South Caro-.
lima, a detachment Of United States In
fantry. Finding them in that place I
have thought proper to delay 8 decision
of the question of their removal until I
could consider and determine whether
the condition of affairs in that State is
now such as to require or justify CON-
tinued military occupation OF the State
House. In my opinion there does not
now exist in that State such domestic
violence as is contemplated by the Con.
stitution as the ground upon which the
military power Of the National Govern.
ment may be invoked for the defense OF
the State. There are, it is true, grave
and serious disputes as to the rights OF
certain claimants as to tho chief execu-
tive Office of that State, but they are to
be settled and determined by such order.
ly and amicable methods as may be pro.
vided by the Constitution and law of the
State. I feel assured that no resort to
violence is contemplated in that quarter,
but OH the contrary the questions are to
be settled solely by such peaceful reme-
dies as the Constitution and law of the
State provides. Under these circum.
stances and in this confidence I now
deem 1t proper to take action in accord
ance with the principles announced when
l entered on the duties of the Presi.
dency. You are therefore ordered to see
that orders are issued for the removal of
said troops from the State House to their
previous place of encampment
(Signed) r. B. HAYES.

Secretary of War.
CHICAGO, April 3. = The Journals
Washington special says: Chamberlain
has informed his friends that he will not
make further contest over the Governor
ship of South Carolina. He will return
to Columbia tonight and when the
troops are withdrawn he and the other
State officers will retire at the same time,
leaving Hampton in undisputed pos
session. 1t is idle, be says, for him to
make contest after the troops are with.
drown. and It would be worse than folly
to expose his friends to conflict with
the rifle clubs, which are at the back of
Hampton and not only willing but eager
to make fight.
Senator Patterson advises the Repub.
loans OF the State Of South Carolina to
accept the situation In good faith be.
cause they will be powerless to correct
the action OF the Administration in de.
liberately up the Republican party in
that State.
Republicans here are very ssnpuine
that the result OF the Louisiana Com.
mission will not give the State TO Nichols.
The Democratic leaders boldly say that
Nichols will make fight II the Govern
ment attempts to sustain Packard. and
renew the story that an agreement had
been made by Hayes intimate friends
for the retirement OF the troops,
Representative Ellis has sent the FOL.
lowing dispatch to New Orleans: II hope
the people will by no ac. give even col.
0ring Of acceptance OF any decision OF
Louisiana matters by the Commission.
We must prepare to resist the decree,
II II 10 unfsvorable. The House is nm.
questionably Democratic and will never
give one dollar for the army until our
people are free. Patience and bold as.
ssrtion OF onr rights will bring rs victory
