WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Pat.
terson, Of South Carolina, informed the
President yesterday that lie thought he
1.-THE President) had made Il mistake in
his course toward that State.
The President replied that il was an
experiment, but from the representations
received and the pledges made by Gov,
Hampton and subsequent developments,
there was reason to believe ii would be
successful.
The Senator said he would as soon
have, Hampton as Chamberlain for Gov.
ernor, provided his accession to that
office should bring prosperity 10 the State
and Hampton should treat all citizens
alike, and provide means for fair Clec.
tion as he promised to do.
In conversation to-day Senator Pat.
terson remarked that not as Republi.
liCan but believing in the right OF in.
struCtion, il the Legislature OF South
Carolina should instruct him TO vote in
favor OF the admission OF Butler or any
other Democrat to the Senate he would
do 30, and besides he would vote for the
admission Of the Democratic Senators
from Louisiana. This would interfere
with his RepubliCanism, but his action
would be based on the ground that a State
ought to be Represented according to the
wishes OF the people as represented in
their State government,
e NO BARGAIN.
ltcan be stated on authority that the
President made no bargain whatever
with or promise to Chamberlain as a con.
ditiOn OF his retiring from the Governor

sPEc'AH HcUSroMs AGENTS .
The Secretary OF the Treasury has in
structcd Assistant Secretary French 10
make out list Of 20 special customs
agents Tor assignment to dutyin various
portions OF the country under his i'm
mediate control. From this it would
seem that the Secretary has abandoned
the idea Of consolidating the customs
agents and secret service force OF the
Treasury and Internal Revenue agents
into one organization. Assistant Secre.
tary French, to whom this proposition
was referred, reported that it would be
highly inexpedient to adopt it. The
number OF customs agents was reduced
by the last Congress from IS to 20 as the
maximum.
