There is no change in situation at Co.
lumbia. Hon. S. s. Cox (Sunet) passed
through on his way to Aiken on Monday
last. 1t was reported that he came as
Mr. Hayes messenger TO Hampton and
Chamberlain, bnt this proved untrue as
hi, visit was purely personal. Nothing
elsc Of interest for the week past.
All attention is now fixed upon Cabi.
net proceedings. 1t was in session five
hours yesterday. There was a prelimi-
nary examination Of mass of documents
relating TO Louisiana and South Carolina,
and it is believed the TO cases will be
disposed OF together, hut nothing what
ever is known rs to what was done in the
session.
Leading Northern paperS give each
their own speculations and rumors as to
the ultimate settlement of the matter in
South Carolina and Louisiana, but all
differ, and presumably ell Of their opin.
ions are worthless. The President and
Cabinet are utterly reticent.
A New Orleans dispatch yesterday
says that upwards of three hundred ne.
groes enrolled in Packard's militia yes.
terday, making total of FIVE hundred.
Tho President has received Information
Of an intention on the part of Packard
to mako an aggressive movement. The
President is quoted as saying that Pack
ard must have poor opinio; of the
judgment and worse one Of the firm
ness Of the administration if he conten-
plates anything of the kind.
Two o'clock dispatches says the Rad
icals will endeavor to have matters left
to conprmise commission. Nothing
whatever was done in the Cabinet session
yesterday to indicate visws of individual
members. 1t is feared some device will
be found for breaking the promise of an
early settlement and consequent quiet in
the two disturbed States. Hayes South
ern policy seems to have been o sem
timent rather than an active purpose.
All speculation is completely bnfled.
The situation in New Orleans is more
peaceful to-day. Nicholls' police have
arrested number Of Packard's recruit
ing officers on The charge of treason. It
IL thought 5..oody collision, which has
been feared for two days past, ia not now
probable.
Rumors that the State House in Co
lumbia has been lately reinforced and
haEricaded are without foundation.
%':'s unsatisfactory account of affairs
faithfully reflects the situation up to
lateat advices.

SOUTH CAROLINA IN WASHINGTON.
Capt. T. w. Dawsnn, of tho Charles
ton Neps and Courier, has been spending
some time in Washington, and makes the
following statement iE regard to the rep
resentation of the Hampton administra-
tion at thu capital:
South Carolina is represented in
Washington by Senator Gordon, of Geor-
gia, Senator NJ. @. Butler, Of South Car.
olina and Judge T. ]. Mackey. Through
these gentlemen, and chiefly through the
last named, Governor Hampton commu.
nicates with the National officials. judge
Mackey says that he was specially reaues-
teu by Governor Hampton to 20 to Wash
ington, and that w ZEN Gen. Kershaw and
Col. Rion left the Capital, Gen. Kershsw
placed him in charge of our affairs. It
is due to Judge Mackey to say that he ia
indefatigable and zeslous. No man, 90.
litically speaking, 10 so high or so low as
to be beyond Judge Mackey's notice, and
the papers he has prepared and the
thousands of epigramatic addresses he
has delivered have undoubtedly had their
effect.
Senator Gordon, man of very differ.
ent mould, has made it the business of
his political life to secure Justice and
peace for South Carolina. We all re.
member that he hastened to Columbia
last fall when the Legislature was about
TO meet, and stood shouldes to shoulder
with Hampton aud Conner throughout
the whole of tho series of intellectual
combats which followed the exclusion of
the Democratic members from the State
House. Since hisreturn to Washington
he has labored just as hard as he labored
in Columbia, and to him is largely due
the strength of our position. Nearly
every day he has had Interviews with the
President or the members of his Cabinet,
and in the Senate chamber he has been
as efficient as In moro private confer
ences.
Senator M. @. Butler has necessarily
been embarrassed by the fact that his
seat In the Senate 70 contested, and could
not do as much as if his hands were free.
Bat he haa won o host of friends Cor him.
self and the State, and has saaaie an ex-
cellent impression upon tho. President.
The apprehension was that Senator But.
ler would be handicapped by wildly sem
sational stories circulated by his oppo-
nent, Mr. d. T. Corbin; but the Outrage
Mill is apparently ont Of order, and we
do not know any Democrat. whom the
South Carolina Legislature could have
elected who would Stand better In Wash
ington than Gen. Butler doea. No man
has moro personal magnetism, and he
bids fair to be one ofEthe, atrougeat Is
we'll as most popular of the Southern
Senators"

It is noteworthy that the extreme Rad
icals are greatly disappointed in their
expectations from the new occupant OF
the White House. Soon after the inau-
guration, when Hayes inaugural address
was quite fresh, it was Don Cameron who
said, "It would have been better to have
had Tilden." This remark seems to have
inspired Others, for B!aipe said to friend
In Washington, only few days after
wards, that no chad no moro influence
with Hayes than page on the floor OF
the Senate" Col. Bob Ingersoll, the
great orator Of the West, whose labors in
behalf of the Republicans were hercu-
lean, asks this question: "What party do
l belong to now, should like to know p
And Ben Butler is reported ms saying,
eve have taken great deal Of trouble,
and won defeat" These shining liz; ts
of former days seem to think that, with
the counting In" Of Mr. Hayes, "Othel-
los oceupation's gone" The country
can stand it, If they cannot.

HALglNa JUsTIcE.-It Is q puzzling
question whether Judge Reed, of the
Charleston Circuit, expects eny one to be
Pleased with the shuffling course he has
pursued in the cases brought before him
TO decide the gubernatorial question.
All the other judges except Wiggin,
whom Chamberlain himself pronounced
o nero leaf on the current, have grappled
with tho problem, and decided it in ac-
cordance with their ideas o. law. Those
who had not originally entertained it
themselves, promptly accepted the de.
cision OF tho Supreme Court in tha Tilde
Norris case. But Judge Reed has per-
sistently eyaded the issue, until his wrig-
gMaG aG. sq.:rmiaS have made hin. an
object of general notiee. If, as is sur
miaed, Judge Reed raal!y ;nclinec towards
Chamberlain, for whom, in 1874, :.e
turned his back upon tho white people of
the State, let him evince MS preference
ct once, The people wish to know who
are the enemies of law and order; and
tnoy have less contempt for those who
openly espouse the wrong than those who
secretly nbet It, yet fear to take decided
step, lest It be towards the losing aide.
If Judge Reed intends to act as becomes
o citizen and o Judge, let him TO longer
rssqrs to eyasions, but at once check tho
whisper Of suspicion.
The decency Of the city of Charleston
and of ths State prevented Whippe2 from
tossing Judge Reed out Of one OF tho
Court House windows last year. It is his
Imperative duty now to screen the decen-
" ei Oiia, iyss0.i iioni ino Insults ,ui
Bowen snd his rabble. It he fears to
perforn, his duty, let him resign. He has
exhausted the patience Of the people.
Let him define his position at once.

Governor Hampton is now engaged in
organizing o strong and effective constah-
ulaEy force, and has recently appointed
Col. William Butler, of Edgeheld, as the
Chief Constable Of the State, under the
provisions Of the law authorizing this
organization. Col. Butler was IL. com
snand of the First Regiment of South
Carolina Regulara during the war, and at
the battle Of Averysboro, after the cap
turo Il Col. Alfred Rhctt, commanded
the brigade OF regulars. He xas On off,
Ger in the old United States Army, and
only recently had his disabilities re-
moved. He Is o son of the late DR..
William Butler, who represented this
section In Congress many years ago, and
is Q brother Of Gen. II. O. Butler. His
appointment Is regarded as an excellent
asIection for this responsible position.
GOV. Hampton evidently means business
:E The right direction, end when the
proper time arrives, the "eviction of
Chamberlain will speedily follow. The
President and his advisers may attempt
to daily with the question of dual gov

The United States Senate concluded
It's labors in extra session on Saturday
last and adjourned sine die. The confr-
mniion of Fred. Douglas acs Marshal Of
the District Of Columbia excited some
interest in the closing proceedings. Sen
ator Morgan, of Alabama, urged the con-
firmation on the ground that it was @
recommendation Of TIE Chief Executive
as recognition of the claims Of the COL
ored race through their most popular
representative man. Senators Hill, Beck
and Garland also voted TO confirm the
nomination. The nomination of VIM.
Stone as District Attorney for South
Carolina, on motion Of Senator Gordon,
went over until the next session, when ii
is hoped Mr. Hayes will Withdraw the
nomination, and send in the uame Of a
man. more acceptable to the people OF
South Carolina. Earle, of Greenyille,
was the chief competitor with Stone for
the position, but his nomination would
be equally distasteful.
