CHAMBERLAIN NOT no nE ENDURED. .
Ipr Telegraph 70 the Y. Y. Herald. ]

CHAMBERLAIN NOI 10 BE ENDURED.
The situation here can be briefly
stated: That the people will under
no circumstances submit to the Cham
berlain government; that II Hamp-
ton is not recognized they will demand
and require a military government;
that IL Chamberlain is to be forced upon
them there will be riots and bloodshed
in every county In the State, and such
action would SO effectually crush the
spirit Of the whites as forever after to
preclude the possibility Of bringing
them to the polls. There is, even now,
a chaotic condition Of affairs, and an
uneasy and restless feeling resulting
from the seeming impossibility OF OBJ
tanning any solution Of the gubernato-
rial question through the courts. The
Supreme Court continues to shirk de-
cision in the matter, in the hope that
the electoral count will settle it without
their aid. Hampton is organizing his
militia, and, recognition or no recogni-
ton from Washington, is determined
to hold on and maintain himself as
Governor of the State. peaceably If he
can.

LOUISIANA AFFAIRS.
Tae Republicans Explain Their Vote Cn
the Resolu ian Recognizing the
Nichols Government.
Their Explanation Deemed Sufficient by
These Who are Caring for tho
Interests ef Louisiana.
Tspt eIal 10 the N. 0. Dem ,crat. !

WASHINGTON. Feb. 27.-rhe vote in
the House to-day on the Louisiana
resolution surprised some OF those who
had been led to believe that u strong
faction OF Republicans was In favor OF
recognizing Nichols and Hampton.
Those Republicans who have been
loudest In their professions of con-
servatism and OF intention to deal fair
ly with the South, all voted to-day
against the resolutions to recognize
Nichols. Tonight they offer the ex-
PLANTATION that their vote was based
upon the policy of Grant, which is to
maintain the status quo intact and leave
the whole matter open for settlement
by Hayes. This explanation is received
as satisfactory by the men who are car
ing for the interests OF Louisiana here.
Gov. Penn arrived to-day. His pres
,ence and co9nsels here at this time are
most welcome. He brings authority
and powers which were needed here.
