The Alabama Colored Congressman
Bull-Dozed.
Washington, April 2.-The law re-
quires that a contestant for a seat in
Congress must serve notice upon the
contestee within 30 days from a given
day. Lynch (colored) sent such notice
in due season from Washington to
Chalmers, Dem. declared elected from
the 9th Mississippi district, but through
some suspicious circumstances the let
ter was not received at Natchez, Chal-
mers' home, for over 80 days after
mailed, and hence Chalmers declared
it was not a legal notification, and
Lynch was excluded from the contest.
A special agent of the postoffice is try
ing to discover where the delay was.
Lynch, Notwithstanding, retained
w. L. Hewett, a Democratic lawyer of
Natchez, to gather testimony for the
contest. Chalmers declared this lille
gal, and notified Hewett that he would
have him prosecuted if he took more
testimony. Lynch to-day received a
telegram from Hewitt saying Chalmers
had fulfilled his threat and that he had
been fined one dollar and taken an APP
peal. Lynch ordered him to proceed,
and will bring the matter before Con-
greSS.

How Chamberlain Feels.

Washington, April 2.-Chamberlain
said of the determination to remove the
troops from the Columbia State House
that it ends the struggle and makes
Gen. Hampton governor. Being asked
If he proposed returning to South Car
DINA, he said he would start for Column
bia tomorrow night. He dimes with
the President this evening.
A formal orderto Gen. Ruger to re-
move the troops is being prepared by
the Secretary of War, and will be made
public tomorrow. The order will be
in the nature of a dispatch to General
Ruger, and not a general order through
the accustomed military channels. 1t
is generally believed that the order will
not be sent until after it has been sub
mitted to the cabinet tomorrow.
The President tonight told Cham
berlain that IKE order to withdraw the
troops from the Columbia State House

Latest o Chico.

San Francisco, April "A Chico
dispatch says that owing to the obloquy
cast upon the Labor Union by the re-
cent disclosures, the most respectable
portion of that organization assembled
last night and denounced the action of
the council of nine as being unsanc-
toned by the organization, and to
restore peace and confidence in the
community, it was unanimously resolved
to dissolve the organization.
The citizens committee is working
actively to insure a vigorous prosecu-
ton of the parties arrested, and every
precaution is enforced to prevent the
possibility of escape or rescue. The
town is returning to its wonted quiet.

A Fearful Flood.

Chicago, April 2.-The city is flooded
with water, and great damage has en-
sued. The damage inside the city linn
its is small compared with that to the
farming lands along the Chicago &
Alton railroad and the Desplaines ca
nal. The water in the canal, which is
six feet higher than the ordinary level,
has broken through in severed places,
and flooded the low lands for miles to
the south and east of the railroad.
AT a late hour tonight the water was
rising again, and reports from the ur-
rounding country are to the effect that
all streams are full and the water gain
ing. No trouble will be experienced in
the business portion of the city.

Washington, April 2.-Chamberlain
dined with the President tonight.
There is the best of feeling between
them, and though this decision virtually
destroys Chamberlain's hopes, and
gives the government to Hampton, yet
the former appreciates the Presidents
position and gives him credit for an
honest and sincere intention to do
right. The President has repeatedly
expressed sorrow that duty compelled
him to sacrifice his friend, and he
takes no pains to conceal his regret
that South Carolina must pass from
Chamberlain's able hands.

Special DIplteh 10 the Cincinnati Gazette.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE fears oil
some Republicans that Postmaster Gen.
Oral Key would be disposed to fill offices
with Democrats, to the exclusion OF Re.
publicans, whenever he had an opportu.
nifty, will probably be short lived. In
recognizing the Department here he has
already indicated that he does not even
desire to designate the three assistants
in whose selection a Postmaster General
has so much personal interest and is usu-
ally consulted. The colored Republicans
OF the South may be sure Of receiving
full recognition at his hands. He has nc
desire togo one step in advance OF the
President in his Southern policy. In the
administration OF the P0stotEices in the
South, there will be no ignoring Of the
claims Of Republicans, and the only
change Of policy in regard 10 appointing
Republicans will probably be that none
will be imported from the North to hold o
position which can be filled by Southern
men who are either Republicans or are
willing to come into accord with the
national administration, on the platform
OF the recognition Of the legal rights OF
al, and the prompt and full enforcement
OF the law.

All the States have elected their mem.
bers of the next Congress save New
Hampshire, and she elects to-day. In
the last Congress she was represented in
the House by two Democrats and one
Republican. The State is very close and
the result uncertain to-day. The news
will be looked to with interest as IN in.
dication Of the DRIFT Of public sentiment
since the PresIdential count, and as de.
termining to some extent the organiza.
ton Of the next House. That body now
stands las Democrats and l42 Republi.
cans. Should New Hampshire 80 solid
to-day the Republicans would have 145
members, leaving the Democracy ma
iority Of 3, very slim majority when we
consider that the Executive Department
Of the Government is the other way, as
Is also the Senate. The Democrats are
very decidedly aPprehenSiVe that the Re-
publicans will organize the next House,
and il New Hampshire returns 8 Repub'
licun members to-day ii will have its
effect in changing some weakened
Democrats over TO the winning side.

year in each Districtzoi the State. In
1875 the Democrats had 1856 majority in
the First and l54 in the Second District,
while the Republicans had only 200 ma.

vote between the two parties and leaves
