It seems that in Washington Unpolitical situation of .South Carolina will be considered separately and independently from that of Louisiana. "\Y e are disposed to believe that we stand a better chance of forcing our claims upon the Chief i.xeeutive and his cabinet than Louisiana can have. JIampton's authority in neailycountv of the State hus been recognized and set up by the circuit Judges, while Chamberlain is \vithout a dollar and can do nothing. Hampton has collected a large sunt of money and i.paying the expenses of the public institutions and is paying the salaries of the Judges and other olliceis of the State, if there should be no change for the worse in our political situation, we can very well at lord to lei matters rock on as they havedone for the past three or four months. As long as the authority of the usurper is not recognized, and as long as he has no Legislature which can legally pass a tax act wcure safe with the courts on the side . of the people. Should Hayes and his cabinet "recognize" Chamberlain as the Governor, we are at a loss to know what substantial benefit that would be to him, or what injury to llamp t?>n. Unless the Courts go buck on Unreal government, Hiiyea' recognition will not give Chamberlain a Uadical Legislature, and without that he can ?lo nothing. At present all the contestants in South Carolina mid Louisiana are determined to press their respective claims for control of the affairs of the prostrate States with all the energy possible. May the Lord send us a safe deliverance. -o- -o? The Louisiana Commission, A commission, headed by the VicePresident will go to Louisiana from "Washington to investigate matters as to the rival governments of that State. This policy seems to be far from satisfactory to the Democrats, because, they deem the proceedings ominous of no good for us. Wheeler by his compromises two years ago humbugged the people of Louisiana, and the pies ont commission, composed largely 01 persons adverse to our interest will likely be guided as the Electoral Commission were, by their own political prejudices. Even if they should aftei visiting the principal cities of tinState, and investigating thoroughly the condition of affairs there, report in Xichol's favor, this course will occasion delay and further distract the material interests of that State, which has already suffered so much from the carpet-bagger, the scalawag, the negro and the Northern followers of tin "drunken Galena Democrat." Since writing the above we have intelligence that the Commission has f dlen through. Wheeler has declined positively to go. The only man who has consented to go was lirown, ol Tennessee. The scheme is now abandoned. Our Prospects. The news for the p:ist week has been rather of a discouraging character, ? until yesterday evening the indications for a. speedy solution of the troubles in South Carolina were much better. The press disprtches were favorable, while the Itcgixtcr represents General Butler, who has just returned from Washington, as saying that the public opiuion in "Washington was <juite favorable to the establishment ol the Hamnton irovernment." As will be seen from it is letter to the President Gov. Hampton has accepted his invitation to go to Washington, and it is likely that he will meet the President to-morrow. Chamberlain left Columbia for Washington last Friday. We are disposed to believe that the troops will be removed and Hampton will have undisputed possession ol the government in less than a week. At Last. Judge Heed, of the Charleston Circuit, has at last found out that Wade Hampton is Governor of .South Carolina, and last week rendered a decision to that effect. The decision is a clear presentation of the ease, and the j udyement unmistakable. We believethat all the Circuit Judges in the.State, except Carpenter, have now made similar decisions, or otherwise recognized the lawful Governor. If a majority of the popular vote and the decision of the Courts affirming Hampton's right to the office doesn't make him Governor, what will do it? Judge Heed's decision concludes as follows': "I am of opinion, therefore, that Wade Hampton was made Governor in and over the State of South Carolina through the ballot-box, in accordance with the Constitution, at the election held on the 7th ol November last; that ho qualified, it" not following the loiter, in the spirit and intent of the Constitution, on the 14tli o! Jjooember last; that he has been since that time, and is now, the lawful Governor ot South Carolina, and should !>< obeyed and respected accordingly, it follows from those views that I), il.

The Supreme Court of ih' I'nited States has established this > proposition as settled law l>y an unbroken current of decisions. That judgment wo have had the honor i u> lay before your Kxcellency. The title of Wade 1 lampion, E.sij., to the ollice of Governor is derived from his election by the people, and tho highest judicial tribr.nal of the Slate has solemnly affirmed that title. He. therefore, as the Governor of the State of South ('arolina, addresses your ISxcellcncy, invoking the action of "the President, not for the solution of a! judicial i|tiesti'iii, hut for the exercise olY 11is powt r as commander-in-Chief of the Army of the United States, to terminate an intervention hy Federal troops, which hinders him in the due execution of his lawful authority as Governor, and subordinates the civil to the military authorities. Sin-ond. We are informed that it is alleged in suj)j>ort of the usurped authority ;>i i>. II. Chamberlain, Esq., and for the purpose of discrediting the decision of the Supremo Court, which has adjudged Wa le Hampton, Esq., the Go^rnorof South Carolina, that one of the two associate justices who eoniposed the court, did after concurring in the judgment and signing the linal order in the cause, before the tiling of the same, revoke his signature thereto, and did thereby and render the said order void. The presiding justice of the Supreme Court, whoso opinion accompanies the letter of Governor Hampton, has noticed therein, that pre tended revocation, as appearing 111 tlie form of a memorandum, annexed to a palter entitled as "opinion by Associate Justice Wright," but with no signature attached thereto, which alleged opinion, and the annexed memorandum arc not in the handwriting of the said associate justice. His honor A. J. Willard, the presiding j justice in the muse, tiled-the final order therein as the judgment of the Supreme! Court, notwithstanding such pretended! revocation. The so-called revocation is clearly with-1 out legal force to annul the judgment ofj tlie Supreme Court. The judgment of ai court of lust report can oniv be reviewed by the court itself. Tlie two justices who! rendered the decision in the cause, constitute the judicial unit termed the court, i Neither, separately, can constitute himself a court of review as t.) a linal order mado by the court in tunic. The judg-j ment is their concurrent conclusion.! Tlie order is the statement of sucli con-! elusion. Not the conclusion of one justice, or of the two justices separately, but of tlie two associated, and constituting! the judicial entity termed the court. We deem it proper to note the undenia- I hie facts that the Supreme Court, which } owing to the illness of the Chief Justice j consisted only of tlie two Associate Jus-: tices, adjourned 011 Tuesday, February! JTth, to meet 011 the following Friday, j and during the said recess Justice Wright j signed the memorandum which purports! to be a revocation ol' his signature allixed I to the final order of the Court 011 the davi of Its adjournment, lie signed the order j February 27th and the alleged revocation March 1st and since the fust named date1 lie lias not resumed his seat upon theSu- ! pre inc. bench. He lcl't Columbia March .id, and is now absent from the State, j While his pretended revocation cannot! avail to annul the judgment oftheSu-j preiweCourt, it yet serves to reveal the' conspiracy which having but recently tie-; tied the authority ol'all the Justices of the highest Court of the State, now ren-, ders it impossible for the Court to proceed I with the business of the term, by laying its unclean hand on the ermine of one of its Associate Justices. Third. The present occupation of the1 State House by United States troops, and I the attendent surveillance exercised by iliem over all who enter the building, j visit upon t,ho people of South Carolina a most harsh incident of military rule, which, while it tends to discredit all civil. authority, furnishes none of the eompen-: , sstions that attach to military govern-, j incut, in the protection of life and prop- I ertv, and the due maintenance of public: inter. The usurped authority thus sustained! by an exhibition of armed force is essen-1 tiallv parasitical, having no sources of subsistence within itself, and utterly repudiated by those who furnish the public supplies, embracing almost the entire; tux-paying citizenship of the State, and i the major portion of its intelligence and! , moral worth. The Government, on the j eontrarv. ren resell ted bv Governor Wade Hampton, is abundantly sustained by the j . voluntary contributions of a patriotic! peopie, which arc duly applied to tho! ' maintenance of the courts, the Asylum! I for tho Insane, the Colored Orphan Asy, linn, the Penitentiary, the Deal' and Dumb Asylum, and all the beneficiaries of the State. It is the only civil authori' ty that governs or can govern in South Carolina. The pretended authority; which opposes it exists only as anob-: struction, ami is capable of being vitali-j i /.cd intoan ellicient agent for the conduct of a civil administration. It has not any present moans lor its financial support, and is without even a remote expcctcncy j for the Supreme Court decided, as early j as December Oth, hs7(J, that the body! which originated the so-called tax act, approved by 1). II. Chamberlain, Esq., was, not, as it claimed to be, the House of I . Representatives of the State of South Carolina, but a mere assemblage of p'ri j vatc persons. The opinion of the Supreme Court in that case was delivered by the Chief Justice, the two Associate J ustices concurring. Fourth. Governments are sometimes; constrained to violate fundamental principles, in order to meet again emergences and to advance the common interests of i heir eiti/.enshiD. but there is no such consideration of expediency to impel action adverse to the full exercise, by Governor Hampton, of his authority as the duly elected Governor of South Carolina. His*public declarations . and acts attest his purpose, that under his administration the government of South Carolina shall "recognize and maintain inviolate the rights of ali," and that it will "be aj government which submits loyally and! heartily to the Constitution and laws;! the laws of the nation and the laws of the! State, accepti'ag and obeying faithfully I the whole Constitution as it is." Perrmt| us to add, that "the question to consider! lor the immediate welfare" of the State | of South Carolina, "is the question of government or no government; of social! '?rder, and all the peaceful industries that belong to it, or a return to barbarism." I It is the unalterable resolve of Governor J Hampton, and of the majority of the peo-; pie of South Carolina, who by their free! suffrages elected him as their Chief Magistrate, never to submit to the dominationt if the usurped authority which now I holds with an armed force the Capitol of J the State. They will resist it everywhere J uid continually, to their utmost power, vet always within the limits that prescribe their paramount duly as American | citizens to bear true faith and allegiance; to the Constitution and the Union, and; practice true obedience to the laws. Such resistance cannot be deemed incon- < >ist( nt with a ia\v-abidiiu< citizenship, forj rli'o Hampton government has received1 he recognition directly or indirectly ol' ill the Circuit Judges, save one, and evon ! lie has decided that Governor Hampton; received the highest number of votes, al. hough holding that the election was not! tegaliy declared, the Senate having failed or n fused to attend at the publication of' i lie v.?:c 'It-' SMCnivOr of th.> r.f | I Ki-pivsuuuiltvujs. Tiiy tjircr.ii Courts arc now virtually our courts ?1'l:u;t resort, owing to the ilcuiii of the Cluel J Ustiee; ;!i?. :i;?scncu or non-concurrenco of one of i tii1.* two A striate Justices, who now oon-j slituie the Supreme Court, and the fact iluit the General Assembly, whi? h is alone empowered to till tho vacancy, has the sainodual character us the Governor-1 ship. Tlie government of Governor liampton has also the active .support of] almost the entire intelligence hii.1 respect- t ability ol" both races and parties in the State, while that of Chamberlain is upheld chicllv by bayonets and the mercenary hands of unworthy ollice-holders ami ollice-seekers. We, therefore, respectfully submit that i? obedience to law, as announced by our court of last resort, with no provision of the National Constitution militating therewith, and with no tribunal having the power toabsolve us from the duty to render such obedience, the Congress of the United States having enacted no statute in the premises, imperatively requires every good citizen to maintain tin- ( dcr all circumstances, and at all hazards, , the Hampton government, always how- j ever with due submission to the laws off the United States; while a regard for en- ; during peace and the common good j makes the satuo government adesidera- j turn to all true patriots, and advocates of < that self-government coin mended, by the ] declaration of our .National Indeileud- t euee. i W'e have the honor to be, very respect- . 7 i I 1 4 X , \ UlU UUl'UK'lIl iWJ * 4 AVJ v? - ; eiiizciis J.

As a consequence of this gross discrimination, our people are forced to make Spartanburg their market for sale and purchase; and our own county town languishes. But the evil is more lar-rcaching than that; our farmers and merchants have been driven away from Charleston, the city of their choice, to Atlanta and other places in other States, because these railroad companies sodiscriminatein their freight charges that those cities attract our trade. Charleston, our own metropolis, is thus injured by the corporations of your own creation! Is there no remedy for this?

Hampton and Chamberlain Asked to Go to Washington. Washington, March 23. The result of the consideration by the Cabinet of the South Carolina question has been the sending of a letter to Hamp- j ton and Chamberlain, inviting them herel in person, or by delegate, to confer with \ the President on the situation of all'airs j in mai .Mate. ine louowai": is u copy 01 tho letter: JCxecutivk Mansion, ) AVasiunoton, March 23, 1877. ] Sin: I am instructed by tho President to bring to your attention his purpose to; take into immediate consideration the I position of all'airs in South Carolina, with; a view ol' determining the course which,! under the Constitution and laws of the United States, it may be his duty to take i in reference to the sitution in that State' as he liuds it upon succeeding to the Pi es- j idency. It will give the President great j pleasure to confer with you in person, if j vou shall liml it convenient to visit WashM ington, and shall concur with him in J thinking such a conference the readiest and best mode ef placing your views as to the political situation in your State before him. lie would greatly prefer this direct communication of opinieh and information to any other method of ascertaining your views upon the present condition aiid immediate prospect of public interests in South Carolina. If reasons j ?

It is the earnest desire of the President to bo able to put | an end as speedily as possible to all appearances of intervention of the military | authority of the United States in the po; iitical derangements which affect the government and afflict the people of South ! Carolina. In this desire, the President cannot doubt he truly represents the patriotic feeling of the great body of the people of the United States. It is impossible that protracted disorder in the domestic government of any State can or should ever fail to be a matter of lively interest and solicitude to tl^e people of tho whole country. In furtherance of the prompt and safe execution of this general purpose, he invites n full communication of your opinion on the whole subject in such one of the proposed forms as may seem to you most useful.

Jj ri From the New York Herald. 0 PIOCHB, New, 21, 1877. John 1\ Leo was indicted with several >thers by the Grand Jury of Heaver s' ounty, Utah Territory, on September tl 11, 1x74, for the crimo of inurdor commit- 01 ;cd bv bim in the part bo look at the o: Mountain Meadows massacre in Wash- ^ imrton conntv. Utah Territory, on Sen- i tl ;oiiiIht Hi, l?f>7, at which time l^o inch, 1' women ami children, known as the Ar- e; kansas emigrant train, passing thvouirh ihe Territory on their wav to California v were attacked by the Indians at tl?o in- o ligation of tiie Mormons, and at this I. ittack seven of the emigrants wore killed g md sixteen wounded. The emigrants tl now entrenched themselves, and the In- <tlians surrounded them and sent for Lee, who arrived at the camp late on Tuesday nfteruooti and found the Indians in large ti force. They demanded that ho should ? load t.he attack. Lee and his counsellors d became convinced that it would l>o hard w to whip them in their entreanchment and h determined upon treachery to get them ft out. Accordingly a Hag of truce was 1 then sent forward. It was carried by ti William Batetnan. ITi was met half o way by the -emigrants, and they held a ii parley with him. Bateman then" return- ? ed and reported that the emigrants would e surrender their arms and do as they had t been requested. The Mormon soldiers then marched out to within liOO yards of ^ the emigrants. a THE SURRENDER. ti The emigrants then surrendered and r put their arms, the sick and the wounded s and their children into the wagons. While they were burying their dead men 0 the emigrants burst into tears and said v they feared treachery. As soon as the wagons were loaded the train was started. J The emierrants marched in single tile, the n women "and tLie largo children being ahead ; then the men cainc. t T1IK IIUTCIIKitV. t When tho wagons were half a milo out 1 of the entrenclnnent the firing commotio- t ed. The Indians killed all the women li and largo children. The Mormons hilled 11 the men. The drivers with Leo killed the j sick and the wounded. Scvenenteen ol"j\ the children were saved. The dead were |s stripped and mutilated and the corpses j 1 left on tho licld, to the number ul'120. jl Out of tlio whole number of emigrants all perished except the small children who wero supposed to be too young r to be able to give information of the c the massacre. SKLLI.VG TUB SrOF^S. All tho wagons and their property oonshsting in part, of iiUU head of cattle were 1 sold in Cedar C'itfy by the order of the 1 Church authorities. All of these orders 1 were fully obeyed. The bloody clothing jj of the murdered victims was also taken s to Cedar City and sold for the benetit of the Mormon Church. ( In order that our readers should be u able to appreciate the horrible fanaticism 1 of tho murderous crew, wo make tho l'ol 1 lowing extracts from tho order given by { tirigham Young, the Mormon High j Priest and King, under which the massa- \ ere was committed, and also the rewards t which he promised his bloody allies and j tools. I ( EXTRACT rilOM LEE'.S CONFESSION, ji Major Higby the deputy of Brigh.im t Young, just previous to tho massacre, j 1 concluded his harangue to the assassins; j as follows : | lie spoke of the character of tho end-1 i grants. He said that the Church authori- 1i ties of Southern Utah were all there, a id | that we were acting as a church for tho sake of Christ. We were then told we were there to do a duty wo owed as good church people. That the orders of those * in authority were that all of the eiui- j grants that could talk must die. "Our-, orders are from our leaders, we speak j with inspired tongues, and their words are the will of good men. You have no 1 right to question them. You must obey M as you'are commanded." Tho brethren L were sworn again to secrecy. This was I also done by order of the Church, which I < was then at war with the United States ! j government. Then we had a prayer cir-j elc, and then more speeches were made t and it was agreed by all parties that it i? was the will of God for us to do as we ! were ordered. Then followed the mas- ' sacre. Leo was then sent to Salt Lake t City to report to liringham Young the details ot the massacre, and Vouug ' promised liiin a crown ceioscrial sis areward for what he had done. i LKR fONTINUKD : 'J I went to Salt Lake City and made my * report to Urighaiu Young ten days after!' the massacre. I told him all, everything!, ?who were there, who wore guilty ami 11 who were active in killing the emigrants; j * in l'aet, all I knew. 1 said to him, "Youj* must sustain us or release us from the en- J j dowment oath tcf avenge tho death of the i prophets." i HHIOIIAM YOU NO'8 JILASIMIEMY. Brigham Young said, "I will communicate with God." 1 went back next morning, when Young said, "Brother Lee, not < a drop of innocent" blood has been shed. 11 I have gone to God in prayer. God bas k shown me it was a just act. The people |t did right, but were'only a little hasty. I t have direct evidence from God that the act | was a just one, tiiat it was in accord with i God's will. I sustain you and the brcth-. i ren in all that you did. All I fear is < treachery on 'he part of the brethr ti con- ( corned. <Jo hov.eand tell tho brethren I j sustain them. Keep all secret as the 1 grave. Never tell any one, and write me a letter laying all the blame on the Indians. I will tho i report to the United States government that it was an Indian massacre." Briurham Younsr was then and for rnanv years after lull}' satisfied with mo anil my act. He Rave me three wives after that and appointed me Probate Judge of Washington county. Nothing but cowardice has made'him desert nie now. He preached afterwards, 011 one occasion, at Cedar City, and said about the emigrants: ?"I)o you know who they were? I will tell you. They wore the fathers, mothers,'brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts and children of the men who killed the saints in Jackson county, and afterwards killed the Prophets in Carthage jail. Their children are in thepoorhouse; their relatives refuse them because they are the children of thieves, outlaws and murderers. I have been told there are many brethren who are willing to inform oil those who did this thing. I hope there is no truth in the rumor. I hope 110 such person lives. A TERRIBLE THREAT. C "If there is, I tell you what your fato \ will be. Unless you repent at once, keep secret all that you know and nroteet each < ther, you will die a dog's death. You e will soon go to hell as damned, lost souls. 1 Let me hear 110 more of treachery among 1 a my people. Any ono who luul proved t traitor there would met the destroy- n ing angel at once." Am a reason lor this wholesale slaughter. Lee savs: We were at that time in the v midst of the excitement of the reforma- a tion, and were made to believe by thets teachings of our leaders that the fullness I < of time had come?that the Mormons were 11 to conquer the world at once and inherit ;'' all the wealth of the universe ; that Christ j s was to come and rule for a thousand jt years, and that the Mormon doctrine was < to be universally accepted. t LEE ENDS lll.S CONFESSION THUS. My journals and private writings have been destroyed by order of Brigham a Young. I have nothing left but my | v memory to give as 1113- account of the ! ^ foul deeds done in Ood's name during q the years when Brigham Young was chief ii ruler in Utah. Lee also said that there were present at j h the massacre, 58 whites and about 500 In- i dians. a LKE WAS AKnAKiXKI) AKP TltlKH ll upon this charge at Beaver <'ity, Utah, in s the Territorial District Court* in Jnlv, j 1K75, Judge Boreman presiding.
