THE SITUATION.
little news ana. Much speculation.


Yesterday being sunday many people met on
the streets and elsewhere and discussed the
political situation. These discussions wer8 8naiur-
ally hs varied as there were discussions, aud IL
would fiil many columns TO give even slight
idea Of the subjects treated. The principal topics
were, however. the Oregon aud the South CARO-
lima question, eloiting AS many views as there are
oolors in the rainbow, and some quite as dag
cling as The bright hnes OF the prism, and othe s
as sombre ne cloudy day.
The main subject OF conversation was after all
the action Of the Buutbsrn Democrats in Con-
gress, in declining to offsr any impediments to
the ordinary course II procedure in the Prssi.
dental matter. Everything that Was said, how
ever, was speculative, In the absence OF details,
for during the entire day, not single telegram
seems to have been received to edify the inqur-
ing masses. The same feeling OF satisfactory
solution of our local troubles prevailed among
orr leaders, which had for several days surprised
outsiders, because it manifested itself in tho
midst of forebodings Of the direst disaster.
OF course, great curiosity lie expressed at the
change OF front OF tho Democratic Commission
ers, who, IL was believed and wished, after the
settlement OF the Louiaiana question, would
withdraw and refuse TO act any further. Singu-
larly enough, the fact thai the commissioners
continue In the exercise of their functions cre-
ates, now. NO displeasure, and there are
not few who approve of ii as an act OF dignity,
while others still. although expecting no favor
able result for the Democracy, believe that for
the cdifcation OF posterty Cal eful record should
be made of tho full proceedings OF the High
Court.
Later IL WAS reported that private dispatches
from Washington, Of considerable Importance,
had been received, but the report Is either un.
true or else these disT aehes are not intended for
public circulation.
In all this quasi chaotic condition OF affairs, il
il pleasant TO notice that the psopls al large en-
tertain and express healthful confidence in
Gov Nichols, upon whom they look rs the fight
