Colonel Pelton's reply to this inquiry has not been
found; but the nature of it is plain enough from
Mr.. Weeds rejolnder:
COLUMBIA, Nov. IA.
HENRY HAvEMEYER, 10 West 17th-st., Ne'c- York.

Translation
Dispatch received Parties to report this morning.
Chamberlain Kellogg and Stearns acting in con-
cert and intend mischief in every State. Will tee-
graph prospect soon. The situation desperate IN
all three.
1t is to be observed that Smith Weed never fat
tered Mr.. Tilden with assurances that he had car
ried the State of South Carolina any other of tho
doubtful States. He was evidently in telegraphio
communication with his fellow-laborers in New
Orleans and Tallahassee, so that "Africa, Europe
and France" were not the only persons who " acted
in concert" and "intended mischief" And while
Mr.. Marble was protesting that Florida rightfully
belonged to the Democrats and that they were ras-
Gals who would keep if from him, and that hd
would put Uncle Sammy through and end the
reign Of thieves" Weed invariably admitted that
Uncle Sammy" had failed to get enough rOes. While
every Democratic paper and Democratic orator
throughout the land was claiming that Tilden had
carried South Carolina, and Hampton was tele-
graphing similar assertion TO the New-YOrk PRESS
Smith NJ. Weed dispatched very different sort Of
intelligence to Gramercy Park. Remember that
Hampton himself only claimed majority of 1,40O,
and then read the following:
COLUMBIA. Nov. IA.
HENRY HAvEMEYER, Is FEST 17dt-st, ~ Z.

Best can figure, Iilden will be over 1900 behind
Hampton, and see little hope; shall keep np appear.
aDces Capture Louisiana and tlorlda. What about
Oregon Answer.
The Oregon scheme was set on foot just at this
time. Mr. Marble teegaphed to Governor Grover
about the end OF November, suggesting that GER
tificate should be withheld from the post-Oftce
elector in that State, evidently supposing that the
idea was novel and impOrtant but the plot had al
ready been working for q fortnight, aud had nearly
reached the point of purchasing Republican
elector to recognize and act with" Cronin, when
Moses offered his advice. The hand of ex-senator
Gwin, "Duke Gwln," appears in the early part OK
the Oregon manGuvTes. We saw II the other day IN
Florida 1t appears repeatedly IN South Carolina.
"Draw on me for whatever you need" he tee-
graphed to Wade Hampton, two days after the elee-
ton; and later we shall meet with mysterious ref
erences to "Gwn's plan," by which at the very last
moment South Carolina was to be taken away from
the Republican column. Wherever there were Sc
cret transactions in those days, heard of Duke
Gwin.
On the 14th of November Mr.. Pelton received dis
couraging news from Louisiana. Nothing had yet
been done in Florida Marble and COyle being some-
where on the road between Jacksonville and Talla-
hassee. The situation indeed looked dark Weeds
parties probably did not report" as promptly
as he expected in the morning, and from the follow
ing curt message he appears to have lost patience
with them:

Moreover Mr.. Weeds movements began TO excite
suspicion in Columbia, and his position grew un-
comfortable. He proposed to hurry matters, and
then to turn over the negotiation to osOmebOdy else:

DENMARK ACCEPTS.
The answer this time was prompt and positive;
for Gramercy Park too was becoming uneasy:

-"You can go to fifty if necessary; perhaps use
future prospects for some part" Was it not in the
famous letter of Mr. Manton Marble on the Elec-
tsral Count that we read scarfying denuncia-
ton of the infamy that would reward the " de-
putized go-betweens and real principals IN tie
crime of reversing the actual returns" not merely
