The Star closes an article, captioned,
"Chamberlain's New Attitude" as fol-
lows: 1t is stated Governor Chamber
beriain, and those who will stand by
him, have one OF two objects in view {:
first, either to force the president to
directly recognize Hampton, il he
means to give him the aid and comfort
of the administration, or, failing to do
this, is to have the question referred to
col gress, at special session for its
Legislation, As the urgency OF the situ-
alton demands.
The hope seems to be IL a political
debate is started in congress, the delay
will cause q reaction in sentiment fa.
vorable to Chamberlain and possibly
induce Hampton to forego the pledges
made to the president aud sttem pt
gain by force, or coup detat, what
would involve tedious delay through
the forms OF law.

. are that Chamberlain and Packard
have been advised to stick by some OF
the northern extremist of the republi.

Chant eriaiu's views and announce
= ment that he has decided to hold OF
to his office of governor til elected By
legal process, is looked Oh As afforded
. proof that he has been put up to thi,
f, course by some persons In the back
. gooupd; but it's certain his backinl
z does not embrace any considerable
D pablicsns.
