WASHINGTON. D. c.. April 2.
Mr.. HARrEa The brigh. and the
halmy effulgence OF organship no longer
chimes upon the Natiy,sai Repub!;caa. 1t
Is now traveller. faint and astray.-
With the out going Of Grant even the
administration Kitchen refuses to have
its Intentions indicated i'm advance
through that paper. Perhaps the bal
grammar OF his Private Secretary is all
OF that article that the u,w President
wishes To be responsible for. and Ger.
tainlv. In that respect. the Repuilicas
has always been q sore upon tho body Of
orr literature. From its early days,
under Peck. of Maine. to the present
time. 10. scholar has been connected
with It. Much is SAL now Of establish
ing daily paper. but the local adyer.
Using patronage is SO small that doubt
If ANY man could afford to publish l.ere
good newspaper Besides, tbs Presi.
dent has not given any Indication Of n
desire for an ''organ." 1t is a,nusiny 10
note the effort OF the Republican to fore.
cast from day to day. the actions Of the
Administration in South Carolina and
Louisiana affairs. In the beginning OF
the Presidential campaign of 1864. the
New YorS Hsrtid advocated McClellan's
election on Mondays and Wednesdays.
and Lincoln's OH Tuesdays and Thurs.
latn for
Or other. Mondays amt "Wednesday were
given to Lincoln. and Tuesdays anil
thursdays TO Mcclellan. But this ia
nothing TO what tho Rp1Jiicca docs, for
1t Is on both sides every day.
|, Gov. Hampton intended to start for
home on Saturday, but has doubtless
concluded that lie can be gilmore service
TO his State by rc;nain:ss North for
awhile. Ii anything can bring TO the
understanding of the Administration the
intense and almost universal desire to
see justice done in the South. the une.
quaiied enthusiasm, Of II ampton's recep
ton here Will do it. Grant, fresh from
Richmond ut the close of the war, an
IN some sense representing the victory
OF peace and Union. was the object OF
hardly more general attention, though
ms was tie highest military position
ever given to u citizen. and uampton ia
simply the Governor of a small State.
But Democrats and Republicans seem
to understand that in Hamptons cause
principle IS involved no less Important
TO republican institutions than that
which was settled by the preservation of
tile Union. Hence, wherever he goes
the people flock around him. and his
presence is sought all over the North.
Ills coming has done more toward n
settlement OF our Southern difficulties

impertlnont commissioners sent 10 South

on Friday. would confirm IIampton's
title to the goyernorship, but might result
no doubt. was intended to resu,t--in
making Chamberlain Senator. Vory
properly such n peddling of Offices was
declined by all the Conservatives here
from the State. II is freely asserted tc.
day that the President will order the
troops out Of the State House at Colum
bia early this week, and allow the Courts
may arise. That being the object for
which Courts are organized and main
tanned, and the President having right.
fully no more responsibility in the case
than any other citizen, it will he strange
IT he hesitates much longer. But there
10 no longer any doubt of a bitter and
powerful opposition within the Repub.
!ican party, or of its leadership. There
IS to cotne out OF Maine, whenever the
President decides to go with bis country
instead of his party, call to the faith
tul TO come together and reconstruct the
Republican, organization. Without pre.
tending TO know all the plans Of the con.
spirators. / am enabled TO say positively
that. if the President removes the troops
from the South by May 1st. meetings in
the interest OF q re.organized Republic.
can party will be Gale I in the North
even before Congress meets in June.
