eettInu Her Out Of the Mad.

A great many years agos said Rev.
Robert Collyer, on one of our South
western rivers, there was On old skipper
who had steamboat which was sailing
in shoal water and got stuck in the mud.
She was swung around In the water,
and there was no chance to get her
afloat do what they would. He was a
very profane old fellow, and everybody
throughout the country knewit. Sudden
ly an idea struck him. He said to one of
the deck hands: You go up to town and
tell them have got religion, and that
want them to come down and hold a
prayer meeting on board" The deck
hand went to the town and spread the
news around, and every one being in
terested in the old shippers conversion,
went down to hold prayer meeting. The
old man was standing ready to receive
them, as they came down he said to
every man :"Go aftl' And they all
went aft, until there was-a great weight,
and the end that was fast in the mud
got loose and floated eff. AS soon as the
boat got afloat the sinner said: "The
meetin is over-jump ashore"

WAsBINGTOS, April At is believed that the
leading Republican politicians of South Carolina
who have been so prominently before the country
during the last few months VIII not return to that
state for permanent residence Gov. Chamber
lain's friends think that he will remain i'll Co
lnmbia only short time after his return
there and that he will enter upon the practice OF
law in BOSTON OF New-Iork. He is understood TO
have declared that he will not accept any Office I'M
der the Federal Government. Mr.. Corbin. cX-United
States District Attorney in South Carolina, who
was elected by the Chamberlain Legislature to the
United States Senate, has also said that he should
not remain as a permanent resident of that state
longer than is necessary to settle up hls business
affairs He has been making inquiries as to the al
yantages of several Western cities with view oil
taking up his residence in one OF them. There Is "a
general impression that he will not press his claim
for admission TO the Senate upon the Chamberlain
credentials.
Senator John j. Patterson has said that he does
not intend TO return TO South Carolina after the eX-
praton of his two remaining years OF service III
the Senate. He has lived there very little during
the last four years, and has made n great deal OF
outrage capital out OF tne pIeJtnsloH
1t unsafe TO remain there. Meanwhile Senator Fat
terson is turning his face toward the rising sun.
Last evening he sent an agent to Gen. Gordon. and
requested him to arrange for an interview with
Gov Hampton. This was done. Mr. Patterson
called and assured Hampton that since he had been
virtually recognized by the President. the former
should make no factiOus opposition, ana
would do what he could TO promote the wei
fare Of South Carolina Gov. Hampton said he
was glad to hear this, and that as Governor be
should administer the Office for the good OF
the people irrespective OF party. This action
of the eaIpet-bsg Senator is characteristic. Only
few months ago he was publicly denounclng Gov
Chamberlain on account of his attempts to improve
the administration in South Carolina. and was
sneering at him us a l}ristow refOrmer Gov Cham-
berlains political having set Patterson Is quick
10 run his face toward Hampton.
Gen. NJ. C. Butler, who has been elected to the
Senate by the Hampton Legislature, will certainty
demand admission, aud there is now very Httle
doubt Of his success. II is reported that when tle
Hampton Legislature reconvenes in the latter part OF
this month, the rcOrganized body, as TO whose au-
thority and legality there be doubt, Will go
through the form Of another election, and viii I'M
dOubtedy choose NJ c. Butler again. Upon this lat
ter certificate if not upon his former, he expects to
be seated
