CH.UIBEKLAIN. ] From present appearances D. H. Chamberlain is the man lixed upon by j the enemies of Moses within the republi- i can party as the most available candidate with which they can quiet the demand for a thorough reform. Mr. Chamberlain should prepare himself to cry " save rue from my friends.'' Personally he is by quite acceptable to many of the conser- Bi vatives and to the bulk of tho real re- is, formers among the republicans. lie is a as man of undeniable ability ; he is a man Ai of culture ; he is a good lawyer ; he is da too much of a gentleman to be led by a ov .Itonlnii ni* viiloor/liouinatinn Li <lo. t??l JUVC U1 Uiopittj VI V uigui Miooij/uv.vu IVUV j in sceud to the level of the herd of black and dii white rascals who control caucuses and re.* conventions. He is, therefore, lar enough "t removed from Moses-Eiliott crowd to be he considered as belouging to a different of genus. On the other hand in the nunicr- th ous positions of trust and responsibility, which he has held during the past six set years. Mr. Chamberlain has shown very an Jittle desire to do more than glide along vy easily; he has fought no fMit with cor- nc ruption ; the enemies of the state have cal been his friends. sti Wo believe that Mr. Chauiberluiu is di< free from a crimiuul complicity with fraud an in connection with the land commission ; str the siuking fund commission and the by financial board ; but when he is put lor- frc ward as the champion of reform he must di< be ready with an answer to awkward su questions, and with explanations in reply of to ugly insinuations. an Moses will not die without a desperate tin struggle. In all matters of politics his cunning is a match for dozen of his opponents. No loose joint in Chamberlain's 44 < armor will escape the shafts of his at- *'< tack; no weakness will l'ail to receive a " i special blow ; no teuder spot will be left " I unsearched.

Then he put on a great deal of tin style, saying he was a South Carolinian me aud a prominent politician, a personal friend of high officials, and it would be a pir very damaging business to all concerned lav to lock him up.

Wrioiit, eri Dent. Collector, th ? St OUR CAUSE IN CONGRESS. wa aji A Calm Review of the Situation. Uo [Special Dispatch to the A'etrt and Cburier.] ag Washington. Friday, April 3. The case of South Caroliua taxpayers was considered to-day by the judiciary committee of the House, who appointed R< a sub-committee, consisting of Tretnaine, 11 of New York, Eldridge, of Wisconsin, ^ and White, of Alabama, to hear the ^ petitioners and their opponents. The ^ hearing will take place on Monday. The wj taxpayers' delegation have appointed ial Messrs. Porter. Kershaw, Elliott, Lath' tH* ersandT. iT. Simons a sub-conmiittcc ar to conduct their case. The rest of the aj delegation will return homeward to-morrow. The point now aimed at by the j"u taxpayers is to induce the judiciary com- ^ uiittoc to recommend the appointment of an investigating committee, so that ta Congress may become officially cognizant of the condition of South Carolina. This ^ is considered an indispensable preliminary to Congressional action. sc The delegation from the Taxpayers' . Convention and the Charleston Chamber ^ of Commerce, upon reviewing calmly the rc occurrences of the past week, are both pi hopeful and encouraged. They arc as- a' sured on every side that their visit has tr been already of great benefit to the State ta and the indications are that the final result, in view of the difficulties and em- pi barrassmcnts of their position will be Ul satisfactory to their constituents. Vice-President Wilson received the delegates with much warmth, and ap- tv peared to take the greatest interest in cc their case. He made a very favorable ? impression upon his visitors. Among other notables called upon were the sli secretary of war, Mr. Belknap; the see- f'1 retary.of the navy, Robeson; the score- j'j' tary of the treasury, Mr. Richardson, jj, and other members of the Cabinet; Sen- ti< a tors Morton, Carpenter, Boutwcll, Pratt ?.v Logan, Ponton and Baiard, Speaker v' Blaine and Representative.-TV-iwes. B , and a host of others. In every instance, pi without, any exception, the delegates were welcomed with the respect duo to m them as individuals, and with the sympathy and consideration to which the , t n l CfJ real representatives of so large a consti- UI tuenc.v of wronged and suffering Auieri- on can citizens arc entitled. Nowhere has J' their simple but appalling statement of our condition met with the slightest ar question. Among others with whom they conversed were the entire Congrcssional delegation from South Carolina, ,() senators and representatives, each of ro whom expressed himself unreservedly in ce favor of the ends which the taxpayers vi are seekieg. SO It will doubtless surprise most of your 0Jj readers to hear that among the pleasant ni est of the many interviews which the bi delegates have had here with public men "jj were those with Gen. Wm. Tccumseh ai? Sherman and Gen. Benjamin Butler. w\ Sherman was in par.icularly good humor ni when visited, and indulged freely in jokes and reminiscences of Sullvnnbs Island in ^ the olden time. There were several of rc the delegates with whoinhe had forwr- th ly been acquainted, and as he stood J"j' pleasantly chatting with thciu it was hard to realize that the Hero of Columbia was befbrc us. Ben Butler was veiy 0f cordial, said that he knew things were to very bad in South Carolina, and proniis- (':l cd that when the Memorial comes before the judiciary committee of the House it "should have a fair showing." (This th may mean a great deal, or it may mean ai1 nothing at all.) He said that whenever lie tried to do anything for the South ,]j some busybody in that part of the coun- ur try would fortwith mail him a scrap of co newspaper telling what somebody or ! Jf other at the South bad said about him He was beginning to think that it would, sh be n good thing for the country if three j1' or four of the Republican editors of the . * South urrc lutnyed. lie actually could not cross the lh?or of the House of llep- its resentatives to talk to Young, of ({eorgia c 1 without ]>co)>le remarking that "Butler ; ^ is getting too intimate the d?d rebels,'' ; ^|, Wasiiixistox, April 0. i She delegation representing the tax* ! payers of South Carolina had a hearing , j' j. this morning before the rub-coniuiittcc on the judiciary of the House of Hep- th resentatives. h'hittcuiore's eoanter ..hMiiittietrcpreseiiting the State offu-iah SO v: present.
