WHEAT CHAMBERLAIN SAID TO THE PRESI-
DEST.-To restate the results which will fol-
low the withdrawal Of the troops from the
State House, say, first, it will remove the
protection absolutely necessary to enable
the Republicans to assert and enforce their
claim to the government OF the State;
second, it will enable the Democrats to re-
move all effective opposition to the illegal
military forces under the control OF my op-
ponent; third, it will place all the agencies
for maintaining the present lawful govern
ment OF the State in the practical possession
OF the Democrats through the admission it
will require; fourth, it viii lead to the quick
contamination Of political outrage against
which 7 have felt, and now feel, it to be my
solema duty to struggle and protest so long
as the iainteSt hope Of success can be seen.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
D. II. CHAMBERLAIN.
First, second, third, and fourth, all go
to show that Chamberlain is Governor
without State-a General without an
army -.

The LOUISIANA CONMIssIoN-WHAT TIE

The Herald's special says :~l!uaI -, ,.-,
"The President has taken pains to i'm
press his own views upon some Of the COM
missioners, and it appears that he has insist
ed with them on two points-tirst,t that it is
imperatively necessary that they shall do
their work quickly; and second, that in
whatever they do they must take as the
basis of their action the fact that the troops
will be withdrawn and cannot be allowed
to interfere in the local affairs of the State.

one. of THE commissioners that zone thing
is certain; the troops must be withdrawn

GOOD NEws.-Colonel 4. X. MCCLURE
writes from Washington to his paper-the
Philadelphia Times: .... 49,. -.
"While have no authority to speak for
the Administration or for any Of its men,
bers, L feel safe in saying that South Caro-
lima is intended to foreshadow the solution
Of the Louisiana dispute, and that it will
be settled TO the satisfaction OF the whole
country, excepting only few revolution
airy and now lmpotent politicians, within
the next three weeks. Just how it will be
settled is not known to any one
bnt that the troops aciH be withdrawn
.frona the, support Of Packard IN the
Capitol, regard as IN no sense doubtful.
The Louisiana commission will be unit
on that point, and the President will not
hesitate to take. the responsibility upon
himself when he believes that the fulness
OF time has been reached for the restora
ton OF the whole country to the supremacy
Of the civil authority, and OF every State to
its admitted sovereignty"
This is good news; but this last remark
almost spoils it. What has the President
to do with the State? When.hc believes -
the proper time has come to allow State
to be State! That's what it means, and
that il what no President ought 10 be per-
nittcd 20 think he has right to say.
