The official announcement that the
troops would be ordered away from the
State House at Columbia, and Chamber.
lain's farcical Government abandoned to
its fate, which will be an early dissolu-
ton, created little or no excitement in
the city. People had made up their
minds to it. Wade Hampton left for
Columbia this evening, expressing him
self satisfied with the situation. He made
no new promises, and rejected all propo'
sitions for compromise. He stands by
the pledges OF his campaign speeches and
inaugural, in the matter ofaffording equal
protection to the freedmen. South Caro-
linians here say the adjustment of their
troubles, with Hampton as Governor,
will add twenty-five per cent. to the value
of property in the State.
Chamberlain to Hayes.
Chamberlain will leave for the South
to-day, but no One anticipates he will re-
main in South Carolina. A second class
foreign mission is probably his ultimate
destination. He submitted long protest
to Mr.. Hayes yesterday against ordering
away the troops. In it he reminds his
Fraudulency that if troops had not been
sent to South Carolina he (Hayes) could
not have secured its electoral vote; that
the feeling toward the white Republicans
and the blacks is no better to-day than
before the election, and that if troops
were necessary to secure equal rights and
protection before the law prior to and on
the 9TH of November, the same necessity
now exists; that if the President with
draws the troops the Southern Republl'
cans will have no protection-will be os-
tracised in their political and social rela-
tions, and the Republican party as an or
ganization will be completely stamped
out. Chamberlain also reminds Hayes
that he has needed too much the advice
of the allies of Hampton, who talk fair
until they can secure what he claims IS
an unwarranted agreement, made on his
(Hayes's) behalf by Foster and Matthews,
that the troops were to be withdrawn
when he was inaugurated. Chamberlain
says that if he (Hayes) withdraws the
troops, the Republicans of the South will
believe that the Southern Democrats did
enter into an agreement to let the Elec-
toral count proceed, with an understand
ing that the States of South Carolina and
and Louisiana were in return to be hand
ed over to the White League and other
kindred organizations. The document
throughout breathes tone of defiance.
At Hayes's request Chamberlain has
postponed it's publication. Senator Pat
terson thinks Hayes is making a great
mistake, and that he will find it out when
it is too late to apply the remedy. He
says he is going back on the very men
who made the way for him to the seat he
now holds,
The Carpet .Baggers Discouraged.
They are both discouraged and demor-
allied. They see that their day is over,
and it is said are quite willing to negotiate
to transfer the Senate to the Democrats.
There are only four of them LETT in that
body, viz; Patterson of South Carolina,
Spencer ofAlabama, Dorsey of Arkansas,
and Connover of Florida. In the next
Congress they will all be succeeded by
Democrats. In the House of Representa-
tives the carpet-baggers have been gen
orally weeded out, and 1t is hard to see
how they can exertany influence in eth
er body.
