United States Marshal Wallace,
who drags about innocent white
men as prisoners at Corbin's 8 bidding,
is cheerful and frank, He gives up
the Radical ship, and believes that
no resistance will be made to Gov
Hampton, and admits that such an
attempt would result disastrously
w .thout the aid of Federal troops.
He thought that all that was left to
the colored people of tho State was
to accept the situation peaceably
and his advice to them WAS. while
not abandoning their party, to go to

might be felt and obtained by all
classes. He thought that there was
Il strong prevailing sentiment on the
part of the Republican party Of the
State to let politics go to grass, ior
