Chamberlain Tries New
Dodge

Special 20 the Cincinnati Enguirsr-
There are insinuatiOns made By
the South Carolina carpet baggers
at this point that Chamberlain does
not intend to give up the State
house at Columbia until he has ex-
hausted every extremity under the
law 70 hold it. Before he went TO
New York, after the Cabinet had
voted TO withdraw the troops, he
eFinced q disposition TO aequiesce
in the decision and move bag and
baggage out Of the State. Under
the Impression thst he would pur-
sue that course, even John Patter
son-by the grace Of carpet-bag tao
tics 4 Senstor-Eent so far IS %
call on Hampton and indicate 10
him that while he had fought him
tooth and nail, he was now willing
and anxious TO bury the Ratchet
Chamberlain, in returning to Co
Iumbia from New York, came again
to this city g. r0Sts A few hours
before be left he was II close con-
ference with the notorious VIM Z
Chandler and Ex-SecretaFy Stan
tons son just what was said at
that conference Of course is IN
known, except TO the disreputabIe
politicians present in the room The
surmise, however, in the light Of pres
ent events, IS that Chandler plead
with Chamberlain to force, Hampton
to 90 through the forms of law TO dis
possess him Of his Office, and to ap-
peal from the decision Of all of the in
ferior courts until it came up IN
course before the United States Su
preme Court Meanwhile he ad
vised him to keep himself in pos
session OF the State-house, and leave
it only in obedience to the mandate
Of the Court Of last resort, or sue
cumb 20 forcibIe expulsion
Cham berlain it is said, gave
Chandler the assurance that he
would; and to day the South Caro-
lima carpetbaggers here throw out
vague hints that the South Carolina
complication IS far from being set
tied. Patterson svaggers about the
hotels, and is Just as bellicose as he
was before he gave Hampton, unso-
hcited, the assurance OF his adhe-
sion TO his government He says he
has reconsidered his previous dec
Iarations.
Now, what Chandler wants Is to
force Hampton TO make some ag-
gressive movement to dispossess
Chamberlain. By the appeals that
can be made, Chamberlain can keep
the custody OF the State House IN
I'll 4 decision from the Supreme
Court of the United States is
reached. This would involve vexa-
tious delay, and the hope is that
Hampton, smsrting under it, will
forcIbly drive him out Then the
loyal Northern Heart IS to be ap-
pealed to, and the charge made that
Hampton has violated his agree
mens with Hayes, made in writing,
that be would not use violence or
force TO gain possession Of the of
cea Of the State. The further hope,
too, is iaduleed il that delay will
cause q change Of sentiment within
the Republican party as to uphold
ing Hayes ia his Southern policy.
The leaders are sick of it now, but
the anticipation Of liberal patronage
causes them to swallow the bitter
pill II it IS not forthcoming, the
iambeau OF passion will be kindled
when Congress meets in extra ses-
sion. and the radical leaders viii cut
loose from the man who holds the
Office stolen for him by them. There
is only one way that Hayes can
keep the majority Of his party poll
ticiaus with him, and that IS 10 sur
felt those who boss the machine
With the sweet official pap IN liberal
doses. If be does not do this, be
will be tied up as completely as was
Andrew johnson, and viii be driven I
out of the Republican camp
The Louisiana Committee h Is ad- /.
vised Hayes by telegraph of the par
siculars of the conference had with 4
Packard and Nichols in New Or /
leans yesterday. The members in
dictate that they have every reason /
to apprehend that their mission will 4
be fruitless one. They viii be di-
rected TO make every effort 70
patch Up the difficulty in some way,
IS Hayes wants the elephant of bis
hands
