SOUTH CAROLINA.

President Hayes has got matters pret-
ty well shaped in South Carolina. The
Republican State officers have had to
yield to the rebel Hampton, without
waiting for decision OF the Court. The
following dispatch tells the story:
COLUMBIA, s. C., May !.
The question Of the title to the State offices
was settled to-day by the counsel for the Re
publics,ns, who went into the supreme Court
aud moved to withdraw the answers ffom file,
and consented that Judgment be entered in fst-
vOr of the plaintiffs. The Hampton State OFF,
eers were advised OF the entry OF yudgnent,a
the seals from the several Offices. The Offices
will be transferred tomorrow.
The Republicans had a majority in the
State Senate, but it was no trick for the
rebels to get rid of that majority, under
my policy" Here is how it was done:
Judge Mckee to-day arrested Dublin Walker
and put HIM in Jail on "A criminal char Tge, which
Keeps one Republican absent to-inofTOw at the
reorganization of the Senate. The Republicans
have working majority OF two IN the Senate,
and Walkers arrest reduces IL TO one. or course
Judge Mackey will see that Walker doesn't
make his appearance. Ia all probability he
Will arrest Bird, another Republican Senator
will make the Senate tie, and the presiding
officer, "A Democrat, having the the casting vote,
Will give the Senate a Democratic organization.
Here is what Redfeld telegraphs TO the
Cincinnati Commercial.
Co-UMBIA, S. C., May 2.
By the time the Democrats get through with
Investigations here may not be much lett of
the Republican party Ia South Carolina. Com
lnittees were appointed to-day, aud the frauds
in the Government Offices for the past seven
yrars are To be Inquired into, aud the guilty
punished, IL caught.
The Republicans have lost the House, and
only have one majority in the Senate, which
they will undoubtedly lose through the inves-
tigAtions.
The Democrats now have complete possession
OF everything tut the Senate. The State Is very
quiet and p-lceable, and the white people in
better spirits than al ANY time since tile war
Cham lain is selling out, bag and baggage,
and will follow his family North in few days.
Leading Republicans say that their party in
Mr.. Redfield last Summer and Fall ad-
mitted, and even urged, that the Repub-
licans had thirty thousand majority in
the State, yet they are all to be run out
Of the State, or put in prison, under the
sham of investigation.
The rebels will compel Hayes to put a
stop at once, and forever, to the prosecu-
tions OF the murderers of the negroes at

The Times Columbia special says tnat the
strongest efforts are being made to secure the
aid OF the President TO stop the prosecution of
those engaged in the Ellenton aud Hamburg
riots, in resolutions, which are now before the
senate, charging that the prosecution is a po-
litical enc, and requesting the President TO stop
them, in furtherance OF his policy of concilia-
tiOn.
Hampton's message is regarded as the first
step toward Wholesale Reputation OF the
bonded and noating debt ofthe State.
The latter clause Of the above refers to
debts due to capitalists in the North.
What rights have such creditors, which
rebels, conservatives" and defenders OF
my policy" are bound to respect2
