WASHINGTON, March 81.

10 the President
Sir: The result of the conference to
which you did me the honor to invite
me has been to leave on my mind the
conviction that you sincerely desire to
see a peaceful and just settlement OF
our people and injuring SO seriously
the material interests of our State
and I trust that you are equally con-
vinced ofmy earnest wish to aid in ac-
complishing this happy end. AS 1
may not have the pleasure Of soeng
you again on this subject, it may be
proper to put before you. in tho fullest
and most definite form, tho assurances
given to you verbally. [ repeat,
therefore, that if the Federal troops
are withdrawn from the State House,
there shall be, on my part or that OF
my friends, no resort TO violence to
assert our sclaims, but that we shall
look for their maintenance solely
to such peaceful remedies as the con-
stitutlon and laws of the State pros
vide. 1 shall use all my authority to
repress the use or the exhibition of
force in the settlement of all disputed
questions, and this authority shall be
exercised in such manner that the
peace shall be preserved. We only
desire the establishment in our State
of government which will secure to
every citizen, the lowest as we'll as the
highest, black as we'll as white, full
and equal protection in the enjoyment
of all his rights under the constitution
Of the United States. No one can be
more deeply impressed than myself
with the imperative necessity of es>
tablishing cordial relations between
all classes and both races in South
Carolina, for it is only by these means
that the true and enduring welfare Of
the State can be secured; with the re-
cognition Of the perfect equality of
every citizen' before the law; with a
just and impartial administration of
the law; with practical, secure ex.
ercise of the right Of suffrage; with a
system of public education which will
open the sources Of knowledge to all
classes, we may hope to see our State
soon take the position to which she is
entitled. twas the patriotic hope to
aid in the accomplishment of these
high aims that called me from nv re-
tirement to become a candidate for
the Office of Governor of South Caro-
lima. It. was through the confidence
OF the people of that State that I would

these purposes that was elected their

WASHINGTON, April 3.
Sir: Prior to my entering upon the
duties of the Presidency, there had
been stationed, by order Of my pre-
decessor, in the State House at Co.
lumbia, S. O., detach lnent of United
States infantry. Finding them in
that place, I have thought proper to
delay O. decision of the question of
their removal until I could consider
and determine whether the condition
of affairs in that State is now such
as to either require or justify the
continued military occupation of the
State House. LII my opinion, there
does not now exist in that State such
domestic violence as is contemplated
by the constitution as the ground
upon which the military power of
the national government may be in
vOked for the defense of the S;ate.-
There arc it is true, grave and seo
rions disputes as to the rights of
certain claimants to the chief execu-
tive office of that State, but these are
to be settled and determined not by
the Executive of the United States,
but by such orderly and peaceable
means as may he provided by the
consIi ution and laws OF the State. |
feel assured that no resort to yio-
ience is contemplated in any quarter,
but that, on the contrary, the dis
ruIes i'll question are to be settled
solely by snch peaceful remedies as
the constitution and the laws of the
Stale provide. Under these circum-
stances, in this confidence, | deem it
proper to take aetion in accordance
with the principles announced when
[ entered upon the duties of the Pre-
sidency. You are, therefore, directs
ed to see that the proper orders are
issued for the removal of said troops
from the State House to their pre-
vious place OF encampment.

You may believe I was glad to get
those children home and turn them
over to the girl. At dinner they
found fault with my blessing, and
taught me the one their papa says.-
Then they condemned my version of
Jonah, and Bulge gave one certainly
much more graphic. And finally,
after requiring me to say my prayers
first, that performance, too, was
boldly criticised. Bulge prayed
with a face fit for an angel, and then
Toddie closed his eyes, wriggled,
breatbed hard and at last began:
Dee Lord not make me sho bad,
an besh mamma, an papa, an Bud
gle, an doppity (grandfather), an
both boggjes (graudmothers), an a
good people in dish house, an every
body else, an my dolly. A.a-menp
'Now give US candy said Bulge,
echoed by Toddie.
l gave them the candy and escaped
at last to the parlor, where 1 passed
a delicious evening with my books.
That night Toddie howled for his
dolly like a young demon, and made
me get up and find it for him; and
next morning, before he wac fairly
awake, | was appalled, to hear him

rolled up tightly in my dress coat,
one of those dolls. But worse was to
come. l made an exquisite bouquet
for Miss Mayton and put it in a box
which sent to her by the coachman.
TO my surprise he brought it back,
and Toddie, shrieking with delight,
snatched it and exclaimed:
'Oh, darsh my doIly's kadle! Some
body put nasty ole flowers in it;
froed 'em OUT
Opening the box he displayed that
internal doll. I viewed him 80 stern.
ly that he took refuge in sobs, wept
plentifully on my shirt front, and
murmured:
4 vanish TO love yon, and vanish
you to love me-
Who could resist2 I petted and
kissed him till he was consoIed, and
resumed his sovereignty, with the
infantile command.
'Kish my dolly too.'
I lobeyed, bat closed the interview
abruptly, and wrote the best apology
| could frame to Miss Mayton.
The next day was Sunday. In the
morning those boys invaded my bed
to 'fwolic' and wide horsie backen,'
and [ sadly learned how it was that
my brother in law had grown so fiat
chested. In the afternoon we tried
the stories again, and Toddie told,
