The people of South Carolina and
Louisiana are said to be in a most
desperate condition caused by the
falsehood of the Fraudulent Presi-
dent. The negroes always live one
year in advance. A farmer cannot
get them to work his lands unless he
is prepared to advance enough to
support them for the whole year and
depend for his reimbursement upon
the crops when secured and put in
market. The farmers themselves
are in no condition to make these
advances, but have to depend upon
obtaining provision and clothes on
credit from the city commission mer-
chants. In the present condition OF
anarchy, caused by the armed sup
port Of the government, given to the
usurping Governors, no one will risk
any advances to the farmer. The
result of this is that the poor delud.
ed negroes are without the necessa.
ries of life. All farming operations
are suspended and starvation stares
the people in the face. What a heart
and what a conscience the h~ypocriti.
cal, false, usurper in the Presidents
house must have to contemplate al!
this as the work of his hands! We
know of no character in history who
would not be injured by a compari.

Special Dispatch to the Enquirer.

WASHINGTON, d. G., April s, 1877.
With a view to keep up discord, and
to brew all the devilment possible,
leading Republican politicians have
advised Chamberlain, in South Caro-
lima, that if he will make a stand in
behalf of the Republican party in
that State funds will be raised suff-
cient to meet his temporary wants to
carry on his administration, and &C.
cept as vouchers for reimbursement
the warrants of the State to become
payable whent the taxes are collect
ed. The amount needed Chamber
lain's friends here say will be small.
1t is also ascertained here tonight
that the negro ext Congressman Eli
OF, who was Chairman of the Republi-
can State Committee of South Carroll
ma, is preparing an appeal, hich will,
be made public in a few days, beseech-
ing the Republicans of the North TO
sustain Chamberlain and those who
will stand by him in what will be
termed his effort to prevent the trans
fer of the State to the thralldom of
the slave-owner and ex-rebel. 1t will
abound with sentimental gush about
loyalty, and stir up the ranking
sores of the war. 1t is believed that
there is a powerful combination at
work to provoke a conflict of the races
to the end that Hayes shall be fore
ed to abandon his Southern policy.
The following are the facts in brief
as to the frauds upon the Govern
ment to which Madison Wells and
Kellogg we're parties in 1866, allu.
sion to which was made in these dis.
patches last week: The suit in the
Court of Claims in which these facts
have been developed as evidence is 8
suit for the emoluments of office, be-
ing the part claimed in the seizure
of goods condemned in the attempt
to defraud the Government of the
payment of duties at New Orleans in
in 1866. Certain official correspond.
ence develops the fact that in Decem.
Der, 1865, Madison Wells proposed
to the Surveyor of the port that there
was a chance to make a little money
and introduced to that officer two
gentlemen whose project for realiz
ing money was to import into the
United States at the port Of New Or
leans a large quantity of silks anc
wine; that through tie connivanc'
of the officer approached should pass
without duty. 1t was proposed by
these two friends of Wells, that thu
Surveyor should put $4,000 in thu
venture, and if he did not have tn,
money they had q friend (who wa
Wells himself) who would advance
that amount. The officer not only
declined, but informed Secretar,
McCulloch of the proposed fraud
and here the matter dropped
This officer shortly after resigned
and when the son of Mad. Wells

brought in, the Department, havin!

and condemned the entire lot. 1t j

THE NEXT SENATE,

Mr.. hayes ADMINISTRATION Will ho1
be a bed of roses for its fgure-head.
A Democratic House of Representa-
tives, holding the purse-strings of
the nation, is. a lion in the path Of
many a scheme which Radical inge-
nuity and rascality may devise. 1t
will be an effective block to almost
any disreputable game that might be
set afoot by those who have been
constituted the mainsprings Of pow
er. But even the Senatey which
stands nearer and is of more impor-
lance to the executive branch of the
government, is destined to soon fall
into the hands of the Democracy.
The natural bent Gifts changes tends
rapidly in that direction.
Eight years ago, the Republicans
had q majority of forty-fve in the
Senate. At the commencement of
Grants second term it had fallen to
thirty-four. Two years afterward
the Republican majority in the Sen
ate came down to fourteen. And
now, counting all the Independents
on their side except Judge David
Davis, we find that the Republicans
have a majority in the Senate of on
ly five, a margin which recent events
have shown to be a very scait one,
and scarcely practicable for serious
working purposes"
But in forecasting the probabili-
ties for the near future, the outlook
is still more flattering. Ofthe TWEEN
ty-three Senators whose terms expire
with the present Congress, six are
Democrats aud seventeen are Repab,
licans. The Democrats are Barnum
of Connecticut, Dennis of Maryland
McCreary of Kentucky, Bogy Of Mis-
souri,, Merriman of North CAROLINA
and Gordon of Georgia. There car
be little doubt that each of these viii

Gratis will succeed to four seats a

Ger, Of Alabama; Dorsey, Of Arkans
