Especial Dispatch to The Baltimore Sun.l
THE SITUATION IN SOUTH CAROLINA
AN UNCOMPRosnsING vIEw-HAMP-
TON COMING TO WASHINGTON.
WAsHIN TON, March 25.-Prof
Greener, of the University of South Car
olina, who arrived here to-day from Col
umbia, brings some interesting informa-
tion. He says that while there is an Gag
er and anxious desire there for the settle
nient of the political controversy, public
feeling is against any compromise what
ever, and nobody favors the proposition
for new election. y. ...l -t.-,..-.7
Business in Columbia is almost stag
nant, Northern merchants are withdraw
ing their credit from Columbia firms, and
some of the Insurance. companies have
cancelled their policies on property there.
1t was said in Columbia that in the coun-
try about there some of the democrats
were getting discouraged at Hayes delay
and began to suspect that the administra-
tion was parlying only to gain time, in
tending to recognize Chamberlain in any
event. Knowing what he does of the
temper of the opposing parties, Prof.
Greener does not believe that any COM
promise can be effected. f 4.1oIs
A letter was received here to-nightfrom
Governor Hampton, dated last Thursday,
in which he called upon his friends to
come home, that he was tired of delay,
that the President could do as he pleased
and that he would do the same. This
was twenty-f hours before the letter of
invitation for him to come to Washington
was written by the President. Tonight
Senator Gordon says that Hampton will
be here by Tuesday next, and that he will
remain here to see him.

Local Matters
The Wsrk Of -Four Ro,,0y.s.


On Saturday evening about II o'clock
four rowdies, named Hugh Kelley, VIM.
Dugan, Charles Saville, and the fourth
party's name is unknown, entered the
hotel at the corner of Seventh and Lom-
bard streets and called for drinks After
having been.served, they refused to pay for
them, and upon being asked to settle for
what they had received, one of the num-
per Charles Saville picked up two large
heavy glasses, and was in the act of hurl
ing them at the head of the bartender but
was prevented from doing SO by gentle
man who was in the place at the time.
Meanwhile the other three had gone out
OF the house, and commenced throwing
bricks through the windows and the
glasses in the door, completely smashing
them. 1t appears that the act was premi-
ditated as when they came in one of the
party stepped up to the gentleman referred
TO, and remarked if anything occurred
nior him not to have ahand in it.n AT
the time they were breaking the windows
Two police officers were within a half a
square Of the place, and upon reaching
the corner one Of them fired three shots
in the air, and no efforts were made to
capture the culprits, as one of the officers
went into the house, and asked the pro-
prietor to have warrant issued for theii
arrest, and upon being informed that he
did not intend to issue one, The officer
remarked that they would have to arrest
them anyhow as they saw them commit
ting the deed. The damage will amount
to about $50. 1t is to be regretted that
the parties have not been arrested, as tht
hotel is one OF the most respectable II
the city.

FoILED BOND swINDLERs.

An important conspiracy against the
United States treasury was brought to
light at Newark, N. j., Friday night by
the arrest and imprisonment of Thomas
P. Somerville, criminal lawyer, and
George Engle, reputed faro bank keep
er and forger, both of New York. Som
erville applied to ex-Detective Nettleship
last November, saying that friend had
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars of
stolen government bonds, and offered
large inducements to Nettleship to secure
an accomplice in the bond department in
Washington to convert them into money.
Nettleship pretended to favor the plot, but
quietly conferred with Secretary Morrill,.
This resulted in laying trap, Nettleship
assuming to make the negotiations, and
they were to receive the money Friday
night at his house in Newark. Govern
ment officers were ready, and Somerville
and Engel were both arrested while on
the point of making the transfers. Some
of the bonds were stolen from the Ocean
Bank of New York. All had been can
celled and registered, and were therefore
worthless. The swindlers had substitu-
ted other names for those in which they
were registered, and thus they hoped to
get them cashed through an accomplice.
The names of Perry Helmsley, Leonard
Kean and j. Ogden Snow had been fraud
ulently inserted in the honds captured.
The prisoners were taken before United
States Commissioner Whitehead and com
mitted to Jail for examination. Their
bail was fixed at SIC, 600 each. Somerville
was in some way involved in the famous
safe-burglary case in Washington.

Clearing House Association to day
adopted preamble and resolutions
reciting that s. B. Packard is said to
countenauce the assertion that the
principal merchants and business men
of the community are willing to re-
cognize him as Governor; and where
as such assertion is untrue, and his
claim to be Governor provokes increas-
ed distress, disturbs confidence and
depresses trade abnormally. the MEM
bers of the clearinghouse Associa-
tion, representing banks and bankers
of this commu nifty, and enjoying close
and active personal relations with all
as business interests. and in daily cor
respondence with all the principal par
ties of this Commonwealth, do hereby
solemnly declare that no belief should
be reposed in said assertion. The reso-
lutions adopted were of the same tenor
as those adopted by the meeting at
the Merchants Exchange yesterday,
recognizing Francis T. Nichols as
Governor of the State, and protesting
against the recognition of Mr.. Pack
ard. The Stock Exchange at a meeting
to-day adopted similar resolution
by a vote of 40 to 8. and the Board of
Underwriters also adopted similar res
olutions. p -uIs. l'..C5rs ...

South Louisiana is already well armed

pumps, they cut the water pipe sup
plying the building and took about 20
