ington's birthday. The order re-
ceived by Colonel Black is said to
be bitter and insulting, but he was
considerate enough not to trans,
nit it in such shape. The order
created considerable surprise and
indignation, but will lie obeyed.
Governor Hampton has issued
a proclamation, in which he says
that the President OF the United
States having fol hidden a parade
of the white militia companies on
WashiugtOn's birthday, be calls
upon said organization to postpone
to some future day this manifesto
ton of their respect for that illus
trious President, whose hi chest
ambition it was, as it was his chief
glory, to observe the Constitution
and obey the laws of his country.
He further says: eff the arbitrary
command of q Chief Executive
who has not sought to emulate
the virtues of Washington de-
prives the citizens of the State CT
the privilege Of joining publicly
in paying reverence to that day,
sacred to every American patriot,
we can at least show by our ODE
diencc TO constituted authority,
however arbitrarily that
we are not unworthy TO be the
countrymen OF Washington. We
must, therefore, remit to some
more suspicious period, which l
trust is not far distant, the exer-
else OF our right to commemorate
the civic virtues Of that unsullied
character who welded his sword
only to found and perpetuate that
American constitutional liberty
which is here denied the citizens
of South Carolina.
"WADE HAMPTON, Governor"
The Supreme Court to-day
heard argument as to the validity
of a pardon issued by Governor
Hampton, but a conclusion has
not yet been reached.

Our Washington Letter


adjourned last night after the
Democratic counsel had been
beard in the Oregon case. This
afternoon Stanley Matthews is
speaking on the other side, to
be followed by Mr.. Evarts, and
1t is not tbought decision will
be reached tonight.
Fe-day, Washington's birth
day, is celebrated here only by
a salute and by a parade of a
detachment of the Marine Corps.
In Baltimore and other cities
South, wherever the army Of
the United States will permit,
there will be celebrations more
or less elaborate, as has always
been the case.
The best speech the Elccto-
raj Commission has heard was
that of Judge HoadIey last
night in the Oregon question.
1t was a marvel of condensed
argument, II interested the
Commission and electrified the
spectators. 1t almost created
hope among Democrats. Mr..
Merrick, of the Washington
bar, another comparatively
young man, made the best
speech on the same side in the
Florida case. Mr.. Evarts and
Stanley Matthews have taken
the hcnors on tAe other side.
One of the Republican states
men who went to New Orleans
to see fair count denies that
he attended the quadroon ball.
This is Mr.. Garfield. His, is
go fair, the only Republican de-
NAL. He threatens to prose-
cute for libel the paper which
made the charge. What fun
there will be for the unregener-
ate when this ex-preacher car
ries his case into court.
Little confidence is placed in
the report Of Hayes reported
selections of Cabinet Ministers.
But whenever these stories take
definite shape there will be
trouble in the Republican camp.
Hayes is doubtless. too cute a
politician to commit himself in
any way while his title to the
Presidency depends, as it must
for several days, upon the ac-
ton of Republican Senators
and Representatives. The COM
plete silence of Senators Conk-
ling and Piainc, as tho count
goes On, is commented on by
many.
The rumor that Hayes is TO
be elected to the Senate from
Ohio, so as to be made Presi-
dent pro tenn of that body, if
the count is prolonged beyond
March 4th, is also not credited.
No one who knows Senator
Sherman, whose resignation is
necessary to the success of the
plan, has any faith whatever in
the scheme.
Dir. Tilden resolutely resists
the compromise" by which it
was proposed TO refrain from
examining his bank account
and those Of Chandler and 9TH
ers for the time before and since
the election. He very proper
ly desires that, doubt having
been expressed as to the pro-
priety of his course in the mat
ter, the fullest examination
should be made.
In the Senate yesterday Mr..
Hamlin proposed a subsidy of
100000 for the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company for one
year, and the Senate agreed to it.
The sum of $3.50, 900 was al
so voted to be placed in the
hands of the Postmaster-Gen-
eral to be expended at his dis
erection in making arrangements
with the great railroad lines for
carrying the mail. Both these
matters being amendments to

Organizing n New Party.

According to rpevious arrangement a
secret meeting was held in Washington on the
24th for the purpose of organizing a national
party. About $50 persons from different
States were present. Those from the North
expressed themselves strongly against the
course of the President and his Cabinet, allcg-
ing that they retained in Office men who are
opposed to the principles of the Republican
party, to the exclusion of its tried and true ad.
herents. The representatives from the South
declared that the President had discarded the
friends in the States which elected him, and
given the offices to the enemies of the,party
Resolutions were adopted organizing the meet
ing into national joint body. Permanent Of
ticers were elected, with power to institute
branches throughout tho country, with head
quarters at Washington.

All the principal men having assembled inside

sued while the Indians arranged the order O
precedence in speaking, and the counsel was
then opened by Crazy Horse, who is notably a
man Of few words Seating himself on the
ground in front of the General, he spoke in a
low voice as follows: "You sent tobacco to my

Assassination In Louisiana.

The New Orleans Republican gives the
following account of the assassination of James
Laws colored, of East Feliciana: Mr.. Dule, of
East Feliciana, has reached New Orleans, and
brought with him the coffin that was placed
at his door Saturday and bunch of Winches-
ter rifle cartridges which were placed with it.
He also relates that the crowd of bulldozers,
after threatening him, went on with the infor-
nation that they would return soon and put
their threats into execution. They proceeded
to Jackson and rode up to the house of John
Laws, colored, and found him seated on his
gallery with his mother. !They said, "Hallo,
Laws, have you got back?" He rose and an
swered them, and was instantly shot dead.

One day, just after King Solomon had
written column of solid nonpareil wise
and moral proverbs, he took his eldest
son by the elbow, led him down the back
stairs of the palace, through the back
yard, past the woodshed, out into the
alley, backed him up behind Ahitopel's
wood pile, looked warily around to see
that no one was listening, and whispered
into the young mans ear: "My son, a
little office in a spread-eagle life insurance
company is better than CARLOAD of pre-
ferred stock in the Ophir mines." And
then the monarch threw his head on one
side, drew in his chin, shut one eye, and
gazed at his offspring in silence. Three
years afterward, when the Great Hebraic
Consolidated Stormy Jordan Life Assu-
rance Company, of which that intelligent
young Prince was President, went into
bankruptcy, the young man was able to
let his father (who was little short at the
time) have 275,000 shekels for 90 days on
his simple note of hand-Bewlsngton

On the morning of the 22nd. the Sara
toga, Il large iron steamship which was to be
launched at Roach's shipyard Chester, Pa.
started from its blocking sooner than was cx-
pcctcd killing and wounding many. About
forty men were under the Saratoga when she
went off, An order was given for them to
come out, but was not heard The scene dur
jng the time the ship was going off was heart
rcndln@, the men being seen struggling to es-
cape while the huge blocks, rolled by the
ship crushed them to jelly. No assistance
could possibly be rendered by those who were
standing by. Instead Of cheers, as usually
greetS 4 launch, a wall of anguish went up,and
shrlcks Of pain rent the air. As soon as pos
siblc the dead and wounded We're carried to the
yard office and physicians summoned. About
1900 men are employed at the yard, and the
friends of nearly all OF them rushed to enquire
for them. 1t was found after investigation
that seven were killed outright and many
others injured.
