COLUMBIA, April 10. - The United
States troops formed in line and moved
out of the State House at noon to-day.
COLUMBIA, April 10.--To His Excel
lency, D. II. Chamberlain-Dear Sir:
Recurring to views severally expressed
by us during personal conference
which we had the honor to hold with
you yesterday in regard to the political
complications which have grown out OF
the late canvass in this State, we beg
leave to apprse you fully of the con-
elaboration and the grsvest reflection
we have been able to bestow upon the
subject. Whilst we are no less inspired
with admiration for the dignifed and
resolute manner in which you consist.
emily maintained your claim to the
Gubernatorial chair by virtue of the
election held in November last, that We
are solemnly impressed with the validity
of your title to the office, we are
unanimous in the belief that to prolong
the contest in the absence OF that moral
power, and to which we feel ourselves
and our party entitled at the hands of
the National Administration, installed in
q large measure through some agencies
which are now held to be insufficient
for our maintenance, will be to incur the
responsibility of keeping alive partisan
prejudices which are in the last degree
detrimental to the best interests of the
people of the State and perhaps Of pre-.
cipitating a physical conflict that could
have but one result to our defenceless
constituency. We can not afford to con.
tribute, however indirectly, to such a
catastrophe even in the advocacy of what
we know to be our rights. We are
agreed, therefore, in counselling you to
discontinue the struggle for the occu-
panoy Of the Gubernatorial chair, con.
WINGED, as we are, that in view Of the
disastrous odds to which its maintenance
has been subjected by the action of the
National Administration, your retire.
ment will involve no surrender OF prin.
ciples nor its motive be apprehended by
the great body of that political party, to
which, in common with ourselves, you
are attached and whose success in the
past in this State has been enobled by
your intelligent and urselfish services.
We have the honor to be, very respect
fully, yours, Robert B. Elliot, Attorney
General, Thomas @. Dunn, Comptroller
General, John A. Talbart, Superintend.
ent of Education. F. L. Cardoza, Treas
urer, D. G. James Kennedy, Adjutant
and Inspector General, and Fl. E. Hayne,
Secretary OF State.

New ORLEANS, April 8. - The Com.
mission sat three hours this morning
with closed doors. At one o'clock il re-.
ceived delegation Of twenty. five gen.
tlemen headed by Mr.. Black, President
of the Cotton Exchange, representing
the bankers, merchants and other bust.
ness men. The Commission said to
them that they had sought government
in Louisiana, but could not find it.
They found two Governors, two Su.
preme Courts and an alleged dual gov.
eminent in all departments, but in fact
by the acknowledgment Of all parties
there is only one Legislature, though il
meets in two halls, and when that Leg.
islature meets in one body it will be the
government Of the State of Louisiana.
and while it is in session It will be the
only power IN the State that can secure
the intervs ntion OF the army. and If self.
government is desired and withdrawal
Of the army, it can probably be secured
in day should the public opinion of the
State compel its Legislature to meet AZ
one body. There are tbirty-three Of the
thirty-six Senators. and 104 of the 12C
Representatives whose election is no,
disputed by either party, and the Com.
mission urged that when they assem- bled
as such the Commission could have
nothing whatever to say about it. The
