There was some excitement in Wash- j
ingtoo on Friday over a report that a
writ of quo Wtirrtinto ha 1 Ihmii served on 1
the President at the instance of (lov. ;
Tilden. Thesto.y, however, proved to;
be false.
It has been reported in Washington I
that a bargain has been made with tlinc 1
Southern Republican Sc ?ata:*s and thir 1
teen Southern Republican Represent;!
tives to act hereafter with the Democrats j
on all political questions. This action i.s \
supposed to be taken to revenge them
pelves on the President for his failure to j
support Chamberlain and Packard.
The Louisiana Commission is on its
way to New Orleans and will organize
this week. The hope is that if one Lcgislature
can be organized out of the two |
now existing which will be recognized as ;
)egal by both parties then that body can
settle all disputed questions without the
interference of the President. A further
suggestion is also made that notwithstanding
the fact that Packard may have
been succcsssul on the ticket in November,
there may have such changes in the
condition of affairs there as to make j
Nichols now the de facto Governor.
The Troops Removed.
Gen. Sherman has ordered the troops j
to be removed from the State IIou.se on |
Tuesday next at 12 m. This order is to i
can} out the instructions by the Prcsi- !
dent to the Secretary of War. The'
President says : 41 In my opinion there 1
does not now exist such domestic violence
as is contemplated by the Constitution as j
ground upon which the military power I
of the National " Government may l>e in- j
vokcd for the defence of the State- j
There are, it is true, grave and serious
disputes as to the rights of certain claim-!
ants to the Chief Executive office of that j
State, but these are to be settled and dater- j
mined, not by the Executive of the Uoi-1
ted States, but by such orderly and :
peaceable means as may be provided by
the constitution and laws of the State. I
feel assured that no resort to violence is
contemplated in any quarter, but that on
the contrary7 the disputes in question are j
to be solely settled by such peaceful rein- ,
edies as the constitution and laws of the j
State provide. Under these circumstances
and in this confidence, I now deem it \
proper to take actioD in accordance with
the principlos I annou .ccd when I eutered
upon the duties of the Prcsidcucy
You are therefore directed to see that j
the proper orders are issued for the re j
moral of said troops from the State j
House to their previous place of encamp-:
ment.
A Columbia dispatch to the News and j
Courier of yesterday says that Gov. Cham berlain
is expected to resume possession
of his office until ousted by legal process.
Gov. Hampton canuot, according to the
Republicans, reach Mr. Chamberlain by
mandamus or quo uxirranto, for these
only apply to persons holding office, and
this theory does not now apply to Mr.
Chamberlain. Were Governor Hampton j
to proceed on this line, they say, he |
would involve himself in contradictions
and technicalities without end. The Supreme
Court is also divided, and the
* vacancy on its bench cannot be filled until
the legislature meets; the legislature
cannot be convened until the Guberna
torial question is settled; so confusion
breeds confusion again. Without following
this line further, it is sufficient to
say that Mr. Chamberlain's friendstbink
that the slow process of the law will allow
him to hold on for many days yet.
and that he will certainly avail himself
of every defensive position its labyrinthine
ways present. Noue of them pretend
to know, however, exactly what his
course will be. lie arrives to-morrow,
and will doubtless develop his plans at
an early hour.
The Railroad Wrecker.
Every condition of humau life and
society has its own drawbacks. There is :
no peculiar bcucSt or blessing that is not :
balanced by some corresponding disad-! 1
vantage or peril. In barbarous conmiu- : '
nities their are no infernal machines, : '
and such moral 111011 ters as the "Pyna- j
luite Fiend " are unknown. The crimes j
that prevail arc of the primitive and sim-! I
pie kind that have been known every- >
where from the beginning of human <
history. l>ut with the growth of civilization
and the advancement of science *
crime becomes more subtle, more uiyste- j 1
riousand more dangerous. The '"rail | (
road wrecker'' is the latest and most ' i
monstrou; development of American i
progress. A few weeks ago a yo ing j
man was arrested placing obstructions on 1
the track of the Long Island Kailroad, ! t
with the-iaanifest inteution of wrecking k
a train. At the same time an uufortun- 1
ate wretch, believed to lea maniac* w: s t
detected ou a side track waiting for the j s
arrival of an express train which he ex- s
pected to see smashed into fragments by ' r
means of obstructions which he l ad c
placed iu its path. Still more recent y j u
an attempt was made t'? throw an express j a
tram off the Erie road, near Waver'y. | u
Timbers bad been chained a:r"-s the r
road bod from rail to vail in such way
to insure an npalling calamity, Lad uoi 1
tl 10 obstruction been discovered by the
track-walker in time to cnnbJe him to
give warning of the danger. Tt will alio
be remembered that during the invest! A

disaster there were some who adhered to
the theory that the catastrophe was deliberately
planned and brought about by
railroad wreckers, inspired by the hope 1
of being able, during the confusion sueI
ceeding the fall of the bridge, to rob t c
express eampnny and plunder the dead j
or dying passengers. In this case, howover,
there was no satisfactory prool to
sustain a hypothesis so- horrible; and a
decent solicitude for the honor of human
nature enjoins it upon us to reject any
such explanation unless sustained by
overwhelming evidence. Yet, in spite
of the natural reluctance to believe in
that degree of depravity which would set
deliberately about the task of destroying
by a sudden and awful death hundreds of;
uicn, women and children, against whom j
the perpetrator of the crime lias no
grievance, and whom he lias never seen, j
the fact must be conceded flint these
things are frequently attempted and
sometimes achieved, and that railroad ;
wrecking is one of the new features cf j
our modern civilization. \Yc should pre- i
fcr to believe if that were possible, that j
tliis most horrible form of crime is never '
attempted, except by maniacs. The i
evidence, however, will scarcely justify
that conclusion. Attempts of this kind
have been made under circumstances
showing that the motive was the expectation
of being able to pilfer a little money i
and jewelry from the persons of the I
slaughtered passengers, and that they j
have sometimes been inspired by a I
desire to wreak vengeance upon a con-(
ductor, an engineer, a fireman, or some !
individual passenger known to be!
on the train. Such occurences illustrate :
the feaiful possibilities that lurk in the
dark places of human nature. They
clinu- thai n*>ifhAi*f?ifili7ntiAri nnr /-.tiric
tianity. nor the diffusion of education,
nor the spread of knowledge, nor "the new
appliances and machinery of modern 1
progress, nor all these combined, have j
been able to extirpate the breed of moral
monsters. In the midst of the light and
knowledge of the last quarter of the
nineteenth century, in the great centers
of refinement and wealth and culture
crimes arc constantly occurring, the conception
of which implies more coldblooded
cruelty and more stolid brutality
than any perpetrated among savage tribes,
or during the darkest period of history.
But of all these, it must be conceded that
railroad wrecking is the most moustrous,
iuhuiuau aud fiendish.
The great subject of inquiry during the
last two weeks, has been the sudden disappearance
of Oakey Hall, Mayor of
New York city during the Tweed dyna;
ty. He left his office about 7 o'clock on
Friday evening, the 16th ult, and no one
could be found who had seen him after
that evening. His disappearance was nut
announced until the middle of the following
week, when investigation was made
Various theories, includiug murder and
suicide, were suggested, or that he h id
left the city to escape trial tor his complicity
with the Tweed ring. It is now
the ceneral nnininn that Mr. Hall sailed I
for Europe, on some steamer, on Satur
da}' morning the 17th.
The fact has been lately mentioned that
Governor Vance, of North Carolina, had
received a letter from coiored men in
that State,'in which they asked him to
assist them in obtaining means for colonizing
themselves. Governor Vance has
written an admirable answer, in which
he says he cannot give any aid to their
scheme, that he thinks their fears arc
idle, lie informs them that the colonization
scheme had been put on foot by
the fauie men who told them that he
would put them back into slavery if
elected Gov:rror. lie adds: uWe don't
intend to interfere with your rights.
We don't want you to leave the State.
There is rootii in North Carolina for you
and us, for your children and ours for
many generations. Wo want you to
help work our fields and live with us in
peace and prosperity." Governor Vance
also reminds them that the Democratic
Legislature has just appropriate I $30,000
to build an asylum for the insane of their
race, and $10,000 a year to support it,
and that the Legislature has also passed
an act giving $2,000 a year for the education
of teachers for their people.
"This" he says, "don't look much like
taking your rights away from you. If I;
were advising yoi\ on my dying bed 1 j

The following proposition w is handed ]
to the President on Friday as a basis of a |
settlement on the part of the llepubli (
tans: ]
"TJie Republicans of South Carolina are j

To that cnl the undersigned now sub ,
f . . i
uit the following propositions, agreeing ^
o abide by the results thus to be reached: .
'1st, All the returns for Governor and ,
deutenant-Governor together, with all
lie papers connected therewith, shall be a
ubuiitted to a commission of five per- a
ons who shall have power, upon said c
eturns and papers and upon such other
videnee, if any, as said commission may (
btain relating to said election and to any ii
llcgations of fraud, or irregularity which t
nay be made, to find and declare the j c
L'-ult <;>f the election for Governor and i
l/.iMiionnu: (iovernor; or, 2d, all the ;
returiw of elections of members of tlie 1
House of Representatives, together with
all the papers connected therewith, shall
Ic submitted to a commission of five
persons, who shall have power upon such j
other evidence as said commission may ;
obtain relating to said election, and to !
any allegations of fraud or irregularities
which may be made, to find an! declare j
what imrsnnft have been <1 illV elected i
members of the House of lief resent a-1
tives, and such persons shall assemble \
and organize as a legislative l?ody, and !
thereupon the returns for Governor and j
Lieutenant Governor shall be submitted ,
to the Senate and House of lleprcsenta-'
tives so constituted, and the election of
Governor and Lieutenant-Governor shall
thereupon l>e ascertained and declared in
the manner provided for by the Constitution
of the State.
Respecting the manner of appointing
said commission, the undersigned submit
tlie following propositions:
First-thc commission shall be appointed
by the President of the United States
in such manner as he shall deem best; or
second, two persons shall be chosen by
each party respectively, which persons,
with the Chief Justices of the United
States, shall constitute the commission;
or, third, two persons shall be chosen by
each party respectively, and the fifth
person shall be drawn by the other four
bylotorolheiwi.se, as they may deem
best. The foregoing propositions ar
presented solely with a view to practical
adjustment of the present difficulties;
and the undersigned, on behalf of
the Republicans of South Carolina, while
submitting them, affirm that their
course heretofore in relation to the clec"
tion of governor and Lieutenant Governor
and the organization of the House
of Representatives has been strictly just
and legal, and that the State Government
which the undersigned represent is
in all respects the lawful and ouly lawful
Government of South Carolina.

The recent decision of the United
States Court at Baltimore, denying the
right of Congress to grant equal accommodation
to colored with white persons
on the trains of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, will soon be brought before
the Supreme Court at Washington. The
Judge of the United States District
Court at Baltimore held that the right to
t avel does not belong to national but to
State citizenship.
One of the pioneers in the Black Hills
paints a gloomy picture of the condition
of the settlers in that region. It appears
that tlie Indians arc bent on holding j
their country, and they arc making a j
desperate defense against tlie adv: nee 1
of civilization. If the Fedeial troops a?e j
not withdrawn from the South, and sent
to the frontier where they should he pos- i
ted. or if the army appropriation fails,
there may be disastrous scenes in the i
Black Hills region.

The largest crop of Sea Island cotton
s'nee 1826 was that of 1859-60, when
Florida produced 14,952 bags, Georgia
18,659, and South Carolina 1 S,S01?altogether,
52,513 bags. Since the war the
condition of things has been so wretched
on the Sea Islands that the whole crop
dwindled down (1875-76) to only 14,996
bags; or Florida 8,950, Georgia 1,213,
and South Caroftna 4, 833.
