THE ADVICE TO CHAMBERLAIN.
- Brief ssls.essy Of the letter that
Suggested withdrawal '.foi the Pub
sfC Gaod."
aWAsHING1on, March 7.

Is AivAsHINC1oN, March 7.
Ihe iistyEy.i vi tue Matthews :,vvaaiT:s T:ss
letter 20 Chamberlain, which created such
sensation nndor Rlaine's handling in
the Senate to-day, Is this: On last Sat-
urday Senator Gordon went to President
Grant, bcscechcd him to write q letter in
an unofficial capacity to Chamberlain adj
vising him to withdraw from tho contest
in South Carolina and disembarrass his
party and relieve the country. President
Grant heartily endorsed the suggestion
of Chamberlain's withdrawal, aud for
awhile was about TO consent to writing
letter. He feared, however, that for
him to take such leading ground in the
matter would be discourteous TO the in
coming administration. He did not re.
linquish the idea presented by Senator
Gordon, but authorized the Senator to
go to Mr.. Matthews and say that he
thought such letter should be written
By one of Mr.. Hayes friends. Mr.. Mat
thews eagerly took the suggestion and
promised TO have the letter ready in an
hour, suggesting that Mr.. Evarts' en-
dorsement might be readily obtained.
The letter was written saying to Cham.
berlain that his withdrawal from the coz.
tNoS nVuLt oC CSintSu Iuc duIlIu-
istration and the Republican party. Mr..
Evarts endorsed it. Haskell, Democratic
Chairman of South Carolina, VINO was
waiting for it, hicd off to Chamberlain
with it. The plan was that the rival
claimants should have conference, after
which Chamberlain would Withdraw.
Upon the matter becoming public
through Chambcrlain's despatch to Cor
bin, Mr.. Matthews called upon Senator
Gordon and authorized him to telegraph
for = copy of the letter, that he might
read it in the Senate tomorrow and let
the country understand precisely what
the views Of the administration upon this
question are. He stated openly that Mr.
Hayes endorsed the sentiment of the let
ter, and said: II pledge my life that he
will adhere steadily to the policy he has
mapped out" From this it would seem
that Mr. Blainc's frantic appeal for spon-
sors to the Chamberlain letter will not
waste itself in echo, but that the old as
well rs the new administration endorse
its suggestion, and it looks MS if Mr..
Hayes, having deliberately put his foot
down, is not to wabhle at the command
of n few partisans. Senator Gordon will
read the letter in the Senate this morn
ing.-MiladeLphia Times.

THE NEW CABINET.

| The following gentlemen compose the
Cabinet selected by President HAYES
which was sent to the Senate for confir.
| nation:
Secretary of State William M. Evsr.s
of New York.
Secretary of the Treasury-John Sher-
man, of Ohio.
Postmaster -General-David NJ. Kew
of Tennessee.
Secretary of the Navy-Richard w.
Thompson, Of Indiana.
Secretary of the Interior-Carl Schurz.
of Missouri.
Secretary fWnr-George w. McCrsry,
Of Iowa.
Attorney-Genera Charles Deyins. OF
Massachusetts,.
For several dnys 1t was predicted that
the Republican Senators would refuse to
confirm the selection, or enough of them
would interpose objections to Evarts,
Schurz and Key as to render it necessary
for the Democrats to sustain Mr.. Hayes.
In order to prevent defeat at the begin
ming Of his administration. Perhaps n
portion of the Republicans did contem-
plate such opposition, but the alternative
was presented to them of accepting the
choice of Mr.. Hayes without question,
or allowing him to fall into the control
Of the Democrats, who would place him
under obligations to them by saving his
administration at the outset from defeat
and disgrace within his own party. The
recaicitrant Senators accepted the inevi-
table result, and there was Q sudden COL
lapse of their opposition, which lasted
only few days. The nominations were
all confirmed by an almost unanimous
vote on Saturday last.
The selection made by Mr.. Hayes does
not include single member Of the former
Cabinet, or indeed any man who was con-
nected with the Grant administration,
unless we except Mr.. Sherman, whose
course In the United States Senate rs an
extreme and unrelenting partisan was
generally in accord with the policy and
purposes Of Gen. Grant. AS Attorney
General, Mr. Evarts was for time linked
with the fortunes of Andrew Johnson.
whom he defended on tho famous i'm
peachment trial. Carl Schurz was al-
ways opposed to the administration of
President Grant, but his conduct in the
recent campaign does not encourage us
to believe that he will net with liberality
towards the Southern States. McCrary,
Thompson and Devins are comparatively
unknown to the country, and must be
taken on probation until time shall de-
velop their inclinetions. The appoint.
ment Of Mr.. Key was Intended as bid
for Southern support, but win provo o
certain failc-s in that respect. He Is
quite conservative and moderate IL his
political opinions. and has never held
any prominence as representative of
the South. Doubtless he will make q
capable manager OF the postal service,
which needs attention In many parts of
the country, and especially in the South
ern States, where the system of straw
bids has grown into monstrous evil,
under the management of his recent
s cc:Ss;>=.= l= nf cnncilia-
tion, the selection Of Mr. Key does not
imply any special significance, nor will
his political influence serve to strengthen

We hear that n member of the Legsla-

be we'll to give the bachelors fair

let the law take its course.

in Charleston have been perfecting
arrangements for the removal of the re-.

from Walhalla to that city, and it is now
announced that the committee appointed
as an escort will leave Charleston on the
25th inst, and will return with the re-
mains in time for their interment on
Friday 30th inst. Gen. WAGNER was
most highly esteemed in the up-country,
and it is gratifying to know that suitable
honors arc to be given his mortal remains
upon their arrival in the city he loved SO

THE CHIEF JUsTFCEsHIP.

Inc HSaAh VI ouuBo IhCoSo ICIuvi- tic
highest judicial Office in South Carolina
vacant, and, in the recess of the General
Assembly, Governor Hampton is cmpow-
cred by the Constitution and laws to ap-
point some one learned in the law to act
until the convening of the Legislature.
In the present status of the Court it Ia
very desirable, If not absolutely necessary,
that the vacancy should be filled, as
there is but one Judge of the Supreme
Court of this State who is acting in dis
charge Of his official duties. The death
of the Chief Justice aud the unexplained
absence of the colored member of the
Court, Judge Wright, completely blocks
the transaction of business. It is there
fore probable that Governor Hampton
will at an early day either cali the Leg
islature together for the purpose of elect.
ing or that he will appoint some member
OF the Bar in South Carolina to succeed
the recent Chief Justice, and in either
event who shall be tho new Chief Justice
is q question of Importance 10 our people.
There ars many able and pure lawyers in
South Carolina who would grace the
position and be universally acceptable to
our people in ordinary times, but in view
of recent occurrences there is one man in
the State who prc-eminently deserves
this distinction, and that man is Asso-
ciate Justice Willard, to whose sound In
tegrity and iinwavering courage us q
Judge the people are indebted Tor the de-
cision Of the Supreme Court by which
the Hampton government is recognized
rs the lawful State government. Had
Judge Willard desired to do moro Or less
than his official duty, he could have re-
versed that decision aud thereby made
the Chamberlain government safe sor
two years more. His course has pre-
served to the Democracy the victory
which they fairly won last November,
and which was about to be wrested from
them by fraud and corruption which had
grown SO bold and dangerous as even to
approach the Supreme Court itself. He
stood as a just Judge and advocated the
f'gnI Witaous iaSof' lear or affection, and
prevented tho contamination OF the

President Hayes has mt least acted
wisely in giving the country change
from the rabid politicians who have
robbed and disgraced the nation under
Grants two administrations. His Cabi-
net appo;ntces are more conservative,
and portion Of them much abler men
than the advisers of the Ex-President.
They, together with the new President,
have weighty responsibility resting
upon them. 1t is in their power to re-
store peace and political prosperity to
our people, or to prolong the whitening
curses which have been inflicted upor
our country. 1t yet remains to be seen
whether they intend to give new era to
our political history, or whether they will
illustrate the force of the old fable about
driving off n full swarm Of flies to make
room for n new and hungrier set.

The Great Change.

1t began in this way--the man became
uneasy at finding himself where he was ;
he had many pleasures, but they palled; he
used to enjoy many sweets, but suddenly
they cloyed upon his appetite. The world
grew stale the sere and yellow leaf was on
all its trees, its flowers were faded and ils
lights burned low. The man began To look
about him; upward and downward, within
around, things looked as he did not like TO
see them; he became thoughtful, and the
more he thought the more uurestful was his
heart. Dare you all thiuk know somo
men who dare not. II they were set TO think
two hours about their own condition, they
would almost as soon be ilogged. Well, thai
is how it came about. The man considered
himself and his ways, and as he considered
he discovered that he was without God, with
out Christ, without hope. lie knew that h,
must die he trembled as 10 what must b,
his destiny, and voice within warned hin
to expect the worst. The good Spirit wa
SOLDERING him, aud this was the beginning o
a blessed change. Then there came acros
his path the good news that Jesus Chris
was able TO save him, and TO save him a
once that he could blot out all his past sinS
and ransom him from the present power o
evil. Only one thing must be done-Chris
must be trusted and he did trust him.
took him some time TO see that this simpl
trust in Jesus could do such wonders, bu
he did at last see IL, and he trusted Jesu
Christ ior everything, aud found sin pa
doned aud conquered too lie had alwal
trusted himself before, but now he CAV
himself up TO be saved by the merit {

The LOcked.np Pardon.

In the Isle of Man, as was one day walk
ing on the sea-shore, remember contemplat
ing with thrilling interest an old gray, ru-
ined tower, covered with ivy. There was a
remarkable history connected with the spot.
In that tower was formerly hanged one OF
the best governors the island ever possessed.
lie had been accused of treachery to the king
during the time of civil wars, and received
sentence of death. Intercession was made
on his behalf, and pardon was sent; but
that fell into the hands of his bitter enemy,
who kept it locked up, and the governor was
hung. His name is still honored by the
many, and you may often hear a pathetic
ballard sung to his memory, to the music oi
the spinning wheel We must feel horror
struck at the fearful turptude of that
Man who, having the pardon for his fel
low-creature in his possession, could keeI
it back, aud let him die the death of a trai
tor But let us restrain~our indignation
till we ask ourselves whether God NIGH
not point to most of us and say Thou arr
the man Thou hast a pardon in thine hand
| to save thy ielow-creature, not from TEN
poral, but from eternal death Thou has
a pardon suited to all, sent to all, designate,
for all. Thou hast enjoyed it thyself bu
hast thou not kept it back from thy brother

the Redeemer's blood, and by the power
of the Holy Spirit Then he became indeed
a man in Christ" What further happened
to him when he was saved a new me
was given him. A miracle was wrought
upon him. life that he had never before
possessed was bestowed upon him, which ele'
vated him as much above other men as othel
men are elevated above the beasts that per
ish. He was body and soul before, but the
Spirit of God came upon him, and gave him
spirit--a third and higher principle, which
lifted him up into spiritual region in which
he lived as a spiritual man. He found nm
self altogether changed from his former self ;
the things he loved before he hated now.
and the things he hated before he loved
now. He could see what he never saw be
fore, and what seemed very attractive TO
him once had lost all of its attractiveness.
He would not have known his former sell
if he had met him in the street In fact.
his old self and he fell out once for all, and
they have never made up the quarrel, and
never will. He is new creature IN Christ
Jesus; old things have passed away; all
things have become new.-Spugeon
