POLITICAL POINTS.

1t is now stated that Gen. Garfield. of Ohio.
is getting ready to run for Speaker of the new
House of Congress. 4I
Wade Hampton, the dispatches from Wash
ington report, has had lengthy interview with
the President in regard to South Carolina af-
fairs. The conversation, we are told, was Of
free and general character, and related primarily
to the question to the probable condition of the
State in case the troops should be withdrawn,
there being no discussion of Chamberlain's
right or title to tine Governorship. Hampton
claimed that there was an imperative necessity
for speedy action, as the planting interests of
South Carolina are in absolute danger of des-
truction by reason Of the present unsettled
state of affairs, the labor system being now in
process of disintegration. Business, he said,
was paralyzed and credit almost entirely
destroyed throughout the State in
consequence of its present unsettled condition.
Hampton pledged the President that in case
the troops were called of there should be no
mob violence, and that only legal processes
would be resorted 10 to establish the supreme
CIV of his Government. He said he possessed
both the purpose and the power to protect all
persons and classes alike in their legal and con-
stitutional rights. The President, in reply
stated substantially that il was his purpose to
carry out in good faith the promises of his in
augural address, as he was deeply anxious to
bring peace and quiet to the distracted portions
Of the country, and he was satisfied this result
would be attained in a very short time. A COM
mittee appointed by the Charleston Chamber Of
Commerce, which had accompanied Hampton
to Washington, also called upon the President,
and read an address setting forth the condition
Of affairs In South Carolina, and pleading for
the recognition Of Hampton.
The President says Washington dispatch,

Robbing Single Handed-Five Passen-

Robbing Single Handed-Five Passen-
gers and IL Mall Coach Plundered by
One Man.
[From the Waco (rexas) Examiner.]
The United States mail-coach and five
passengers were robbed by single man
ON the Gainesville road on the 14th inst.
Mercer Smith, the driver, gives the fol-
lowing particulars of the affair The
stage left Waco at o'clock Wednesday
morning. r. III. Cumby, of Gainesville |;
Mr.. Stovalt, of Hamilton, and w. S. Tip
ton, ID. S. Slower and M. Peterson,
young men recently out from Tennessee,
were in the stage. Just before reaching
the South Bosque crossing horseman
appeared in the road ahead of them, and
rode slowly till the stage overlook him,
when, turning suddenly, he leveled a
revolver at the driver and ordered him to
STOP Smith stopped his horses, and the
robber then ordered the passengers out
of the stage, and made them stand in a
row with their hands locked over their
heads. One ut a time the passengers
were required to throw their pocket
books to the ground. When all had
done SO, Smith, at the request of the
robber, gathered up the money and
handed it to him. Smith was then or
dered to cut open the mail-bags. He
refused at first, but, being threatened
with death, finally obeyed, and handed
the robber four registered letters, the
contents of which are unknown. From
the passengers Mr.. Highwayman got
$133; Slower gave him $50: Peterson,
$50; Upton, SO, and Messrs. Stovalt and
Cumby each SO. He generously gave
back to each passenger enough money
to pay hotel expenses. Using no harsh
language, he seemed perfectly cool, and
said he was sorry that circumstances
compelled him to commit robbery. He
rode thin bay pony, was dressed in
jeans, and wore handkerchief over the
lower part of his face. Causing his vic
Tins to turn their backs toward him, he
expressed the hope that he would not
again have to trouble them on the high
way, and with CHEEKY "Good by,
boys" rode off on gallop in the direc-
ton of Waco. The driver and passen-
gers were all unarmed, the only weapon
on the stage being an empty shotgun.
