Republicans in many instances ex hibit a disposition to yield gracefully, but others aro disposed to die hard, and say that Chamberlain will avail himself of Hampton's pledges to tho President and await decision of tho Supreme Court, whioh as now divided will necessitate dolay.

Governor Hampton, in ?. dfaputch to lieutenant Governor Simpson, announce* that everything lias boen satiafactorily and honorably settled. This d?claration will be aooepted throughout the State and tho country that thcro has been no un worthy bargain or intrigue, and that Hampton bas made good the declaration so often made by him that he was duly elected Governor of South Carolina and intended to remain in that position KO long as the people who elected him do sired it. Ho has not quailed before the bayonets of Graut, nor hun he ?uccumbed to any wily artifices of the enemy. Ho is tho Governor of South Carolina to-day, and has been since the 14th of December last. In tho overthrow of Chamberlain, South Carolina has been rid of tho evil geniun which has shaped the ruinous and disgraceful course of Republicanism in this State. He 8t<'ps down and out with tho contempt of honest men of r?ll parties and all States. Ho has led a romarkahlo career here, and hos ended it in ignominy nnl disgrace His fate should be a warn* i..g to all mon who seek to gratify ambi tion t.y dishonorable uctiouu and UHsocia? tiora. His ability would have given him position with respectable men, but an over basto to attain his object induced him to seek foul and corrupt methods of advancement, which have bankrupted him morally, Bocially and politically in 8outh Carolina. Tho Hampton government ia assured, and with it tho right has for once triumphed over ,tho force and fraud of Republicanism in South Carolina. A brighter day has dawned upon our laud, deluged as it is in the wave of political corruption and villainy which has swept over us. By industry and economy tho future of tho Palmetto State will yet bo como aa prosperous mid as honorable as it over was in the palmiest days of old.

JAME? A. HOYT, Presidont. EX-PRESIDENT GRANT. Gen. Grant, tho only Ex-President of | tho United State,-) who is now living, ap peared hoforo the Cincinnati Chamber of j Commerce on the 26th of last month, and, in response to a cal', made the following speech, which would not do honor to even ? ten year old boy : GENTLEMEN-This reception was en tirely unexpected by me, but I assure you l am very glad to neet you ali, and feel very thankful to you for this kind re ception. I huvo no doubt hut I will be a great deal better fellow now than I was Bix months ago. I don't suppose I will have any political opponents now, since we are all sovereigns together, as I hope we will continue to be TOT a good many years yet. I feel that I have co u-H fi ra bio lifo, health and strength left. nc .with standing the past sixtoen years o? labor and toil I have undergone, which, per haps, has not been surpassed by any other sixteen years of my life. The idea of such a man having been President No wonder the country has suffered BO much commercially, morally and politically under his administration. An analysis of. ?te I fort-going speech shows tho Ex-President to be an egotistic nothing, whom it is a disgrace to any na tion to have made a. chief magistrate. Whatever may be said of him as a soldier, all will agree that he is no atatosmon, and very few will accuse him of being an honorable patriot. - Ho says that he ox poets to bo a better fellow now: th?? L? waa six months ago, and wcbeliovo it ia true, for he no longer has hos the chance to convert the tuum into the meum or to appoint others to' office and all"M them to do so. It was an unlucky way for Gen. Grant when ho resigned the Com mandcrsbip of the American army to ss tuima th? PrAftlrlanrrc.'

' Governor Hampton, accompanied hy Attorney-General Conner and Senator elect Butler, with the committee of Charleston capitaliste, arrived here thin morning. Thc welcome to Hampton from Richmond to this place was a-s warm as further South. There wan no public rt icption here, and the party drove quiet? ly to Willard's. Thc following letter wan addressed to the President hy Gov ernor Hamptou this morning : WASHINGTON, March 29, 1877. To (he Pr.'tidcnt : SfB--lu compliance with your invita tion I am hera for the purpose of uniting my efforts with yours to thc end of com posing tho no?tieal differences which new unhappily distract the people of South Carolina. I beg you to believe that my anxiety to bring about the per manent pacification of that Stat?', a paci fication in which the rights of all shall be safe and tho interests of all shall be protected, is as sincero as I feel assured is your own for the accomplishment of nf tlic ...nm.-, imrln My position fer yo ari past iu refcreuce to the political rights of colored citizens, and my solemn gledges given during '.he lute canvass iu outh Carolina, that under my Adminis tration ali their rights should be abso lutely secure, should furnish a suflicient guarantee of my sincerity on these pointa which appear to be tho subject of special anxiety. I have the honor to ask at i what hour it will be your pleasure to re ceive mo? I am, sir, very truly your obedient ser vant, WADU HAMPTON, Governor of South Carolina. The President returned an immediate answer by Col. Rogers, his private secre tary, fur Governor Hampton, accom Smied by Senator Gordon and Attorney encrai Conucr, to wait on the President at 1 o'clock. The Charleston committee, by appoint ment, met tho President at 0 o'clock, vis: Messrs. Adger, i icc, Pelter, DeSaus suro, Tupper, Gibbes, M?llmann, W. Ii Smith, Amory, Fairly and Dawson. Tin committco were introduced by Mr. Adger sud Mr. Bec then, in a brief address showed the lamentable condition of UH State. Ho said that South Carolina wai an ii?ricultural State, and that upon agri culture all depended. Yet planten everywhere cultivated a half less thai thoy did last year. Laborers wcro will ing to work, but capitalists were unabh to givo the planters thc means to emploj them, so that the blacks aud whites aliki were affected. If Hampton were recog uized, confidence would be restored motley employed, and all trodes revived but, if it was not soon done, it would b too lato. The interests of whiten ant blacks were tho same, and, under Hum-.] ton, all the conditions and aims of th President's Inaugural Address would h satisfied, and peuce, happiness, religio and piety prevail everywhere. Mr. Adger then, iu a forciblo and luci manner, insisted on the necessity of in mediate action, and invited Capt. S. \ Tupper, president of the Chamber ( Commerce, to communicate their vi eu aa td the great detriment being dono t tho Gente Dy tho present delay. Capt. Tupper, ia an eloquent and con prehensive address, exposed thc preset languishing condition of business j?rov affairs in tho present anil future/and ii Hinted, as the representativo of the cou t'torcial interests, that nothing but ti absolute and universal recognition ? Hampton, as Governor, could give pca< and progress to the State. Mr. F. J. Pelzer said that his firm bc been induced by tho condition of A fl ai to bo unusually cautious iu making ai vanees to planters, RIK? that in bisoninic Hampton's administration could gil peace and ultimate prosperity to the Stat Mr. W. B. Smith followed and sai that the banking capital of Charleston not moro than one-fifth of what it wi befare the war, and nevertheless such wi tho present want of confidence that eve that limited capital could not be loane out satisfactorily, and that tho scttlemei or our political troubles would harmoni; the two races and restore lost confident to tho whole people. Capt. Louis D. DcSuussuro tiieu e: plained tho cbimcter of thc disturbanc in the Sta to si requiring immediate rec edy, and demonstrated that Hampton hf been declared Governor by tho only boc capable of Ilia* act. A large majority tho Judges iu the State had so decide and Hamptou was gradually jibsorbii tho whole power in Mio State, as w evidenced by the payment of the volu; tory tax, thc support of public instit tiona. &C. In conclusion he said thnt tl people would accept no other govut.'ime than that of Hampton's. It was tiih that or a territorial condition for Carolan The President said that it might ha' been supposed that he could havo act? earlier, cut he could nob act until h constitutional advisers had been appoir ed. and when appointed he and they wc obliged to give attention to vacanci held to exist in the civil service. Mc of ouch vacancies it was found could 1 over and his successor would not be ei barrassed as ho was. He had now reac ed South Carolina, and was confide that his ultimate purposes were the sai as those of tho committee. He had i vitcd Hampton and Chamberlain Washington as the persons most likely be able to give an intelligent stater^e of affairs, and ho was confident that satisfactory solution would be found. The whole interview was very pleasai and tho committee were received wi marked courtesy by tho Frcaidont. In tho course of tbs interview Ca; Tupper asked the President if he appi hended any difficulties or disorder iu t State. Thc President sold ho was glad to e that he had no such fear. Capt Tupper then asked if there v any reason for Executive interference keep peace and order in Carolina. The President, laughingly, said tl he could not answer such pointed qu lions. Governor Hampton. Scnutor Gore and Attorney General Conner met I President at 1 o'clock according to i pointmcnt, and lunched with him a o'clock. in the aitexnuun lue twuc pat tica 1 an interview with the President by : ??ointment The conversation was o ree and general character. It rola primarily to tho question as to thc pr <\ble condition pr the Slaty in cass troops should bo withdrawn. Tho poi urged by Governor Hajipton and friends were as follows : First, they claimed that there is Imperativo necessity for speed* acti na tho planting Interests of South Car na aro "in absolute danger ot destruci by reason of tho present unsettled a of affairs, tho labor system being now process of disintegration, and nltbo tho season for planting is already hand, tho planters are unable, as her fore, to obtalu advances of money f merchants Pud factors, and this di tr?us condttiOG of affairs they said wc '*---<t3s""> until some stab!- *r*"**tTa cf < crpmcnt shall have beep established, short business ia paralyzed and credil most entirely destroyed throughout Stdio in consequence of its present ur tied condition. Another reason for speedy action ui by thesb gentlemen was that "car 'baggers" and ethers interested in the pcination of the Chamberlain rule i constantly inciting riots and disaffect and the most ansidubus caro und fori ance had to be exercise?! to prevent < breaches of thc public peace, the present danger being that they m become general throughout tho S In?tances and illustrations of this pi rious condition of a fairs were presented ! to tile President with some particularity | ?nd dciaii. Thu remainder oi-tho. con- ; vr-rsatinn w V mainly- directed to lbs j tjuections ts to whivt would be the proba D?O condition. Cf iiffli'lK if tho woops j should be withdrawn from tho State House, and what line of policy Governor Hampton intended to pursue in that event. On theso points thc President was assured that there would be no effort to seize the Capitol by mob violence, and that only legal pfoce?sea would bo resort ed to by Govornor Hampton to establish the supremacy of hin government. No formal pledges wire asked or given during the interview, but Governor Hampton emphatically repeated the statements lie lias heretofore made, that ho possesses both tho purpose and tho power to protect all persons and classes alike in their legal and constitutional rights. Thc President, in reply, Btaied substantially thnt it was his purpose to carry out, in good faith, tho promista of his Inaugural Address, as he was deeply anxious to bring peace and quiet to the distracted portiona of the country, and he won satisfied that the result would bo at tained in a very short time. During tho ontiro conversation, which lasted Beveral boura, there was no discussion of Cham berlain's right or tit! J to the Govemshipj mid iiuthing wusHuid which coniciuplaicu his continuance ir office, the conversa tion being almost a together based upon the assumption of a withdrawal of tho Federal troops and the relinquishment of the legal questions at iswuo to thc State Court?. Governor Hampton and his friends say they were greatly pleased and encouraged hy tho interview, and this evening feel confident t' at *he Stato of South Carolina will soci he relieved of its present political and industrial ti i lis - culties. Governor Hampton is dining with Kvarta. Both Governor? now having been heard, no action will be taken until after most mature consideration. This is authoritatively stated, in contradiction of reports that action had been taken to-day. F, W. D. WASHINGTON, March 30. Thc Char'eaton committee resolved themselves into several sub-committees, and procr ded to visit the scverul secre taries, .i.itoruey General Devons was ?olite sud non-committal. Secretary Wurta r<:ad to them a dispatch received from thc leading bau kc rn of Nev/ York, including Brown Bros., Fry, of thc Bauk of New York, Sher mau, of the Mer chaut's Bank, Coe, of the Bank of North America, and J. J. Stewart. They urgo that the most favorable consideration he given tc tho Charleston's committee's views, and say that, if time had permit ted, they would have bad tho dispatch very generally signed. Evarte in conver sation said distinctly that when the Pres ident was prepared to act he would do so on his own responsibility, not seeking to ; place any part of tho burden on the rep resentatives of cither side and the parties they represent. Secretary Sherman talk ed very freely. He said that the Presi dent would, of course, make thc decision in the South Carolina case, but the hope was to relievo tho State of ono of twt Governors in such a peaceful manner at to inaure peaco and thc absolute enjoy ment of thc rights of the colored people Much stress was laid on this point. Posmaater General Key was cordial ic his reception of the sub-committee, and said that he had no reason to be dis couraged. He understood tho condition of affair.!, and thc need of immediate ac tion. Secretary ' Thompson was most uncompromising in the expression of hu opinion that thc Federal government hat no right to intervene iu South'Carolina and that the State should be left abso lutely free to settle her own disputes un der her owu laws and in her own way Secretary Schurz was extremely cordia and liberal in all he said. Thc Cabinet, in a session of three hour to-day, fully discussed the South Carolin] question. No vote was taken, but th( expression of opinion of tho difieren membors showed that on a division tin majority would be in favor of the ?mac dinte withdrawal of the troops from thi State House. Hampton wrote a letter to tho Presi dent to-night saying that he might no have au opportunity to see him again and assuring him that he could and wouh Becure absolute freedom and peace, am equality to both white and colored citi zena of the State, BO Boon as tho troop Bhould bo withdrawn, but intimating a the came time that he would consent t< no bargain or compromise whatever. Ii very warm words he thauked the Presi dent for tho manner in which he hai been received, und expressed his confi dence that the President would be true t tho loyal and patriotic sentiments of hi inaugural address. Fernando Wood entertained Governo Hampton. Gen. Conner, Judge Fiele Sieakci Randall, Senator Butler, Cap? j /awson and others to-night. The con veraation was general, and the determin ation freely expressed to stand fast o South Carolina and Louisiana. Though no direct knowledgo is obtain able from official sources as to the inter tiona of tho government regarding Sont Carolina there is an impression, suataine by various facts, that the end of the dc liberations now progressing will be d order withdrawing tho troops from th State House at Columbia, and the cor sequent practical recognition of Ham] ton. A popular demonstration in honor < Governor Hampton has been with grei fiersuasiou avoided by the Conservati? caders, who apprehended that undc the circumstances it would not be in goo taste. WASHINGTON, April 1,1877. In reference to thc Withdrawal of ti troops from South Carolina, it can bo at thontativcly stated that President Hay? is decidly opposed to leaving garrisons < Federal troops in the State House of nu State, but ho holds to the theory tin troops may bo stationed in the vicinty < any place where difficulty is' liable i occur, and in case of violence or riot t hi may bo called upon to preserve the peac Tho former he regards as purely A polit cal move, without warrant of couatiti tional provision, while tho latter is' legitimate governmental power, and cc bc as appropriately exercised in Soul Carolina as it is in the various oth< States where garrisons are now stationer The enforcemorit of these views wiU T lievo South Carolina, but they"do m cover tho Louisiana case, Packard heir .-?-? ? - ?*-- (X...._ ?

Chamberlain and I friends do not cipect any other aolutii Governor Hampton said to-night tl he considered lt pretty weU settled tl tho troops will be removed from the St Houso, in which event ho thought th< would bo no difficulty in peaceably curing the State .government withou resort to legal proceedings. WASHINGTON, Aj>ril 2 i ne formal order c: ?fa?rai Enger remove tho troops irom the Stato Hoi at Columbia to their camp is being p pared by thc Secretary of War, but will I not be neut to Huger or mad', public till i to-morrow, (icnciul Sharman was clos- j otcd with Secretary McCrury for norna J time before the preparation of wo order wo? commenced, which will be in tho nature of a despatch to G?U?nu Huge/, and not a general order, through the usual military channels. It is generally believed the 'order will not bo scut until submitted to the Cabinet to-uiorrow after noon. Chamberlain, up to 4 o'clock, did not believe the conclusion to remove the troops from thu Sute House had been reached. When he had official confirma tion of the fact, he 6atd : "It ends the struggle, and makes General Hampton practically Governor." Chamberlain dines with tho President to-night, and leaves for Columbia Wednesday morning. Wheu Governor Hampton was in formed this afternoon, in advance of the official notification, that au order would be issued for the remoral of the troops from the State House, he expressed him self rauca gratified, but said it was no moro than he expected frcm the princi ?lea announced in the inaugural address. Ic was somewhat interested to know" whether the order would take immediate effect, as he wished to be present in Col _Kl? -?_*. _?.~j, ir.". ii in ui" it mil it nu ctauKu. HUTUJIV?, as a precautionary measure, he would at onco telegraph to friends in Columbia hie earnest wish that there Bhould be no out ward demonstration, such as might dis turb the public peace, and he waa satis fied bia advice would bo respected. On thc withdrawal of the troops from the State ii ouse, bc would direct that a guard of two unarmed men be sent there to guard it fro^. improper interruption, and he thought such force would be sufficient for the purpose. He felt satisfied there would be no disturbance, and that tho people throughout the State would tako courage to repair their shattered indus tries. Ho called this afternoon to take leave of thc President, and thank him for the withdrawal of the troops, repeating tho assurance given in his recent letter, that all Bhould share alike in the protec tion of the law, and not doubting bis ability to preserve the peace. He does not apprehend that Mr. Chamberlain will take any action with regard to the custody of the State House. Go. jrnor Hampton leaves to-night for Columbia. It seems to bc understood that, in accordance with Governor Hampton's wishes, the order will not reach Huger until Wednesday. INTERVIEW WITIT CHAM III*, ULA IN. From tho Washington &'atio7ial Republi can's report of an interview with Mr. Chamberlain on Tuesday night, after he had had two talks with President Hayes, wc take the following: Question : '*lf Hampton should hi recognize*! as Governor, would the e'o meiit which voil represent in tho State peaceably abide by the decision?" Answer : "To that i cannot say. Ii is one of those hypothetical questions thai docs not admit of any positive answer.' Question: "Suppose the decision bi to simply withdraw tho troops from tin State House and allow no further Feder al interference-what then would be th? result?" Answer : "That is also a hypothotica question-one that I have never consid erod, because I have contemplated nc action adverse to my claims as Govern or." Question : "It is stated that, in tin event of an adverse decision, yon wil not return to South Carolina. Is tha ?. uc ?>" Answer: "Ko, sir; if such a thing ai an adverso decision to my title is possible I Bhall go to South Carolina at all haz ards ana remain there. Of course, wha the more remote effect of such a decisioi would have upon mo is a thing I canno now intelligently spsak of." Before ending the interview, Ms Chamberlain said he was now ready i act according to any suggestion v.*Lid President Hayes might be pleased b make, and would either make nia forma statement to the Presidont alone, or il tho presence of Mr. Hampton or any on else. He would act according to th pleasure of the President. JUDGE NORTHROP DECLARES FOI HAMPTON.--The Washington Naiiona Republican publishes an interesting inter view with Hon. L. C. Northrop, presidio, Judge of tho Seventh Circuit of Soutl Carolina, and introduce.; the interview a follows : "The Judge is a native born Soutl Carolinian, oeing a descendant of on of the oldest families in tho StaU When the lato war took place, Judg Northrop, his father and his brother a enlisted on the Confederate side. Hi father und brother were killed, and h survived, to afterwards become a Rcpul Hean and a firm supporter of Govenu Chamberlain." Alter paying a high compliment to th manhood and integrity of Chamberlaii Judgo Northrop proceeds to describe th situation. The Democrats believe as the do in their existence that Hampton r< ceived over 1,000 majority of the vote and is lawfully elected Governor. The claim that it has been decided in tbei favor by the courts, and they would eage; ly defend it by the last dollar and tb cl a life. I have never Been such profoun excitement and inflexible resolution i exists throughout my section. It is i every fibre of the. atmosph?re, and mu be felt to be understood. It is a kio with the frenzy that possessed tho pqop of Paris in 1703. It has been waitir like a chained tiger on the first mov ment of Hampton's finger or lips. ', that movement had been m ado, the who army of the United States would ha' had'business on its hands. Further c he says: "I am a Republican, eve: Inch of ?9, and a Carolinian, o very int cf mo, and I don't want to see tho Sta pass into '?ho hands of the Democrac out I don't want to see it go to the dev: either."', Reporter-Well, if Hampton becom Governor, would peace follow ? Judge Northrop-Yes, sir; it wou most undoubtedly, and with that pea would come ample protection to all t' people alike, ana property would at on becomo enhanced in value full 25 i cent.

HATES' 80UTHEUK FOUCY. TUe, True Inwardness ol' tl:?: Foster- | Matthe ve ^?MXjtuc<J?. iXntetpVtolenot */ th*'Se* iori WASH i NUTOJI. March 28. \ So much needless ?jid fahchlevous tute has been made about certain pandie, said to be agreements made during tho count ing of the electoral voto between some Southern Senators aud Representatives and limn*. Stanley Matthews and Charles Foster, that the last two gentlemen have expressed their wish to have them nu.de public. They aro given below, and it will be aeen at once that they contain no agreement or bargain, either on the part of tho friends of Mr. Hayes or on that of the Southern gentlemen who received them. Tho' question with thc Southern men was whether they should join the D?mocratie filibusters m obstructing the count, or whether they should, as it is certain they were inclined to do, help to carry out toe electoral law in good faith. In considering this question, which in volved resistance to the urgent demands of many of their Northern party friends, it was natural and proper that they should inquire as to the effect Mr. Hayes becom ing President was likely to have upen tho peaceable ard just settlement of the troubles Itt Sooth Carolina and Louisiana. They remembered that Mr. Hayes had Sro mi ned in his letter of acceptance to eal justly with these Statesjbul 'hey remembered also that the political can vass htd been carried on without his re monstrance on an entirely different baste, and they had an undoubted right to in quire of his friends what were his real opinions and what was likely to bo his golicy, and the more because some of tho outhern Democrats, were inclined at all hazaida to go with their party, and would have done so had not the wisest and most patriotic of them influenced them other wise. Under these circumstance a numbc.1 of conversations and conferences wen. held, which resulted in the papers now pub lished. The Southern men did not ask for an "agreement," uor did they make or attempt to make any bargain with Mr. Hayes, with whom tboy had no commu nication, or with any one for him. They did ask Messrs. Matthews aud Foster, known to be in hia confidence and to bo possessed of his opinions on public af fairs, what in their judgment would bc tho treatment of the two States if Mr. Hayes became President. Messrs. Foster and MatthewH gave them their opinion as frankly as it was asked, and tue event shows that they judged Mr. Hayes right ly, because in his inaugural message lie I did confirm all that they said he was likely to do, and announced a policy which was and which remains entirely satisfactory to the Southern men. Thc principal documents are given by John Young Brown in connection with a narrativo of events pledging President Kaye? more strongly than the letters themselves : WASHINGTON, February 20. Tb Hon. John B. Gordon and Hon. John Young Broum : GENTLEMEN : Referring to the con versation had with yon yesterday, in which Governor Hayes' policy os to thc status of certain Southern'States was dis cussed, we desire to say in reply that we can assure you in the strongest possible manner of our great desire to have adop ted such a policy as will give to the peo ?le of the States of South Carolina and ouisiana the right to control their own affairs in their own way, and to say, fur ther, that wo feel authorized, from an acquaintance with and a knowledge ol Governor Hayes and his views on this question, to pledge ourselves to you foi him that such will bc his policy.

In connection with the foregoing let tera, the following memorandum is givei as an outgrowth of the previous under standing : WASHINGTON, Feb. 27,1877. In an interview with thoTresidcnt thi morning, in tho course of a conversatioi on the subject of Louisiana affairs, h stated to me that os soon os tho Presiden tial count was fini?lied and. the. resul officially declared, it waa his intention t notify General Auger by telegraph tba tho .existing military orders : issued fo preserving the status in quo of the politi cal situation were, rescinded except so fa as simply to require the use of troop whoa, necessary to the preservation c tho public peace.
