Chicago Electlons-Eiood.

CHICAGO, April 3.-The day is
warm and sunny, but, SO far, as re-
turns up to one o'clock indicate. the
vote for city officers will be light.
There is general impression that the
Republicans will elect the most of
their ticket, even the Democrats are
conceding this. The contest on May
or will evidently be very close, but
so far as known Heath is still ahead.
There is much scratching, and relia.
BILE returns cannot be obtained until
late tonight.
The flood in the Southern and
Western portions Of the city is sub.
siding at the ratio of about half al
inch per hour. Ii is stated, but no
confirmed, that several Easements il
the business portion of the city arc in

WELL, at last move is made in
South Carolina, and Gen. Kruger is
ordered to withdraw the troops from
the State House, and place them in
camp. This simply means that the
troops leave the immediate vicinity Of
the State House, and retire short
distance to their regular quarters.
We shall now see and learn as things
transpire. We venture no opinion as
to results. Gov. Chamberlain makes
a fair offer to arbitrate. We have no
idea that Hampton will agree TO ar.
bitrate on any terms.

Tho orcor for the Removal Of Troops
from the state House at Co.
luD1nbfa g. C.

WASHINGTON, Apr. 3.-The Prcsi-
dent, to-day, sent the Secretary of
War the following letter:
SIR:-Prior to my entering upon
the duties of the Presidency there
had been stationed, by order of nv
in the State House at
Columbia, s. c., a detachment of
United States infantry. Finding
them in that place I have thought
proper to delay the decision of the
question of their removal until /
could consider and determine wheth-
or the condition of affairs in that
state is now such as to either require
or justify continued military occupa-
ton of the State House. In my opin-
ion there does not now exist in that
state such domestic violence as is con-
templatcd by the Constitution as a
ground upon which the military pow
or of the national government may
be invoked for the defense of a state.
There arc, il is true, grave and serious
disputes rs to the rights of certain
claimants to the chief executive Office
of that state; but these are to be set
tied and determined, not by the ex-
ecutivc of the United States but by
such orderly and pcaceable methods
as may be provided by the constitu.
ton and law of the state. / feel
assured no resort to violence
is contemplated, but that or
the contrary the disputes il
questions are to be settled solely by
such peaceful remedies rs the consti
tuition and law Of the state provides
Under these circumstances and in thi
confidence Inow deem it proper t,
take action in accordance with TIL,
principles announced when entered
upon the duties of the presidency
You are therefore directed to see tina
proper orders are issued for the re
moval of said troops from the Stat
House to their previous place of en-
campmcnt. (Signcd)

WASHINGTON.
Troops Will Probably be With
drawn from the South Car
DINA State House.
Two Hundred Employees to be
Discharged from the Treas
ury Department.
PROPHESYING,

WASHINGTON, March 3O.-Though
no direct knowledge is obtained
from official sources as to the ultimate
of the General Government
upon the South Carolina question,
there is an impression, sustained by
facts, that an end of the de-
liberations now in progress will be
the issue of an order removing troops
from the State House in Columbia.
The anxiety is to SO consummate the
action Of the Government that no dis
cord can possibly result. A fair in
ference from events that have recent
ly occurred is that it will not be
many days before the decision will be
announced.
EMPLOYEES TO DE DISCHARGED.
About two hundred employees will
be discharged from the bureau of
engraving and printing in the Treas
ury Department tomorrow, in order
to bring the force down to the actual
requirements of the work.
Some fifteen or twenty temporary
clerks in the Navy Department will
also be discharged. They have been
employed in the department for two
or three years past and paid either as
writers for the navy yards or out of
the contingent fund of the different
bureaus, there being no provision of
law authorizing their employment or
making appropriation for their CON-
pensation as clerks. Sccy. Thompson
announces his purpose to have no ore
in the department not expressly pro-
vided for by law.
IIAMPToN's PROMISE. m
Gov. Hampton wrote letter to the
President tonight, saying that he
might not have an opportunity to see
him again, and assuring him that he
could and would secure absolute
freedom, peace and equality to both
white and black citizens of the state
so soon as troops should be with.
drawn, but intimating at the same
time that he would consent to nc
bargain or compromise whatsoever
In very warm words he thanked the
President for the manner in which ht
had bccn received, and expressed hi
confidence that the President wouli
be true to the loyal and patriotic sen
timents of his inaugural address.

THE Vienna Sentinel, an able organ

THE Vienna Sentinel, an able organ
of the Democracy Of Louisiana, Soon
ciliates" in this way:
We have several objections to Mr..
Hayes now, since he is inaugurated
President. The first is, we doubt his
integrity, because he is in possession
of stolen property because he occu-
pies position to which he was not
elected and which he holds by fraud.
If he was an honest man he would
not be there. We object to him be-
cause he is a usurper. We object to
him because his administration, false
and unconstitutional as il is, will, un-
der hypocritical pretense of fair
ness, perpetuate the domination of
the Republican party in our country.
The Sentinel then lays down the
Democratic platform for future cam
paigns in italics and capitals, as fol-
lows:
The prevailing sentiment in North
Louisiana is, sink or s,cim, lire or dte,
democratic .foyecer.' and DEATH and
DAMNATION to the Radical party !!
If Democratic papers such as the
above, were few in Louisiana; if they
had no following, then might one
have some hopes that the Democratic
sentiment of that State might be con-
ciliated-might be shamcd into de.
cency, by acts of kindness, but what
is the fact? This is the truth: thai
such papers as the Sentinel are moi
few in that State; on the contrary
they are the prevailing kind, and the
only really popular sort of Democrat
ic newspapers in Louisiana. 1t il
true that there is little more refine.
mcnt and more discretion in the
Democratic journals of New Orleans
they are not quite SO outspoken fol
policy sake as are such papers as tn,
Sentinel and the Shreveport Times
and yet the same despicable, tyranni
cal rule or ruin policy is apparent il
all of them.
The following taken from the sam
number Of the Sentinel as the abov
extract, is very suggestive Of the fac
that the region round about Wen
ma is overwhelmingly Democratic
(Which is true>. The Sentinel says
Is the organization of the Sabbatl
school in Vienna going to be fail
ure?
We don't know how that questio
was answered, but we could CUES
that the Sabbath school enterpris
was a failure, and be right ninety
nine times ont of hundred.

The Commission to New Orleans |
left Washington to-day, Sd inst. They |
are understood to be instructed to
first seek to have Packard and Mich
oils agree to the assembling of the
Legislature as the Returning Board
made it, save that no member should
take his seat where it was contested.
The Legislature thus organized, TO de-
termine all questions between contest
ants, this done, the Legislature to then
canvass the vote for Governor, and
he who was SO chosen Governor the
President should recognize. Failing
in the above, the Commission arc to
seek such adjustment as they can OBJ
tain.
The friends Of Packard in Washing
ton give out that Governor P. will
not accept any compromise, and such
is understood to be the determination
|of Packard, expressed by himself.
Governor Pc. friends give the fol-
lowing as the reason why they will
not accept any compromise. We clip
from an Inter Ocean special:
81. That the Returning Board is a
constitutional body, and was SO de-
cided by the electoral commission on
the goth Of February last in the fol.
lowing language: The commission
is also Of the opinion, by majority
Of votes, that the returning officers OF
election who canvasscd the votes al
the election for electors in Louisiana
were legally constituted body by
virtue of constitutional law, and
that vacancy in said body did not
vitiate its proceedings
"The above is an extract from the
decision of the commission in the
Louisiana case.
"That the law empowers the Re
turning Board to declare who was
elected Governor and who have beer
elected members of the Legislature
and that under this authority they de
clared Packard the legally elected
Governor, just as they declared thu
4 Hayes electors to be legally elected
electors.
| "3. The body known as the Pack
ard Legislature has quorum holdin.
, the certificates of the Returnin!
, Board, and has canvasscd the vote
for Governor, and has decided upol
contested seats.
l. "a. That if the Returning Boar
certificates which Packard and hi
A Legislature hold are not legal, the
: the certificates of the Hayes clcctor
were not legal, and the electoral com
, mission was in error in deciding 9th
9 erwise.
81 "5. That in the decision of til
Cabinet on the disputes betwee
Hampton and Chamberlain it is hel
: that the President has no authorit
E to offer any grounds of compromis
;, whatever.
"Packard's friends have submitte
!, these reasons, with an elaborate argu
ment, to the President and Secretar
Evarts, and the consequence may
: that instructions to the commissio
: will bematerially modified, althoug
the above is what was original
: agreed on. The Packard people hol
/ that the President under the Sout
: Carolina decision, can do nothinl
but withdraw the troops from tn
\ House, when Packard will be prepar
ed to defend himself. They CLAIM
that the commission will only pro
long the suspense, and that if th'
troops are to be withdrawn the ordel
might as well be issued now as at any
other time"
