WASHINGTON, April L. Chamberlain
proposition was submitted to Governor
Hampton yesterday, and he declined 1t, just
as he declined on Friday night the PROPOSE
tons suggested by Secretary Schurz. Gov
crnor Hampton has adhered most resolutely
to his determination to consider no PROPOSE
ton that could be construed to throw the
least doubt upon his title. Chamber
lain's proposition for a commission, which
was laid before him yesterday, was the
I.last OF the series which have been made
to him with view to secure COM
promise. With his refusal to consider
it ended all hope for Chamberlain. The
President and his Cabinet have been forced
to the conclusion that, as Governor Hamp-
ton has said from the first, the only solu-
ton of the difficulty is the non-interference
OF the troops. Therefore what was said on
Friday night may be repeated. The troops
will be removed from the: State-House,
Hampton will proceed to eject Chamber
lain by civil process, and it is hoped. that
the trouble will be over, and affairs will be
moving as quietly in South Carolina as in
other States of the Union.
The letter OF Governor Hampton furnishes
as strong a guarantee as the President could
ash Of his purpose to deal Justly with white
and black alike. Governor Hampton in
conversation last night said that be would
return home tomorrow night Monday;
that on his arrival in Columbia on Wednes-
dav next he would issue his proclamation
notifying the people Of South Carolina OF
the peaccable adjustment OF all difficulties,
and that he would call the Legislature to-
gether on the 9th Of April. In his mes
sage to the Legislature he will recon-
mend the passage OF general tax
bill. Governor Hampton also expressed
his determination to have such financial le-
gislation adopted as will restore, the credit
of the State. No interest was paid on the
funded debt last year. Another six months
interest will be due on the lst Of July next.
Governor Hampton says he will take mea-
sures to have this paid, and the unpaid in
terest OF 1876 will be funded. Owing to
the manipulations OF Chamberlain and his
gang of plunderers it is impossible to esti-
mate with any approach to correctness what
the funded debt OF the State Is, and Gov
ernor Hampton will send commission to
New York to confer with the holders Of the
State bonds on the subject. His intention
is to provide hereafter for the regular pay
ment of the interest on the State debt, and
to establish asinkins fund for its ultimate
SASluCL!Ous' 'a...s. INV
Governor Hampton will also recommend
to. his Legislature to enact certain necessary
educational measures The present school
system OF South Carolina is very good one,
but not much has been accomplished under
it, because the carpetbaggers> have stolen
most OF the school fund. Governor Hamp-
ton says he shall urge o thorough educational
system for both races. He faYors liberal
legislation to promote the material indus
tries OF the State. He says the most rigor-
GUS remedies will be used to break up the
official peculation which has prevailed so
long under the rule OF the carpet-bag-
gers. He says that he has appointed
and will continue to appoint the colored
men to office whenever the best interests
OF the State warrant it.. He win do what
he.can to discourage idleness and encourage
honest labor. He don't believe in men
lounging around taverns cutting. sticks,
drinking whiskey, aud bemoaning their bad
luck, when they should be Mt work, anu
this applies just as much to the white man
jas to the black man. Governor Hampton
says that he now looks confidently to the
day when the bonds OF South Carolina Will
command a premium. He thinks the time
will soon come when twill be more diff
cult to End man with d, pistol or bowie
knife in South Carolina than in the streets
OF any OF the large northern cities. III
