Washington, November 27.—Grant
writes to Cameron that Chamberlain
is now, beyond controversy, Gov
ernor of Sout h Carolina, and remains
so until anew Governor ia legally
inaugurated, and directs him to sus
tain him against domestic violence
until otherwise ordered.
Farwarding this to Gen. Huger,
Cameron says, advise with Chamber
lain and dispose troops to carry out
the spirit of Grant’s order.
Chamberlain’s request to Grant
came late yesterday. Grant called
Sherman and other military men to
a council, which eontiued at the
White House till nearly midnight.
Cameron replied to the question
whether there is anything startling:
“Oh, no! Nothing particularly start
ling, only Governor Chamberlain has
mado a special request for a certain
disposition of troops, and the orders
have been given.”
The President’s advisers in the con
ference were Cameron, Sherman,
Meigs, Barnard and Van Vleit.
The movement, though- possibly
suggested by Chamberlain for other
purposes, is intended to suppress tur
bulence.
A Herald special from Columbia
says: Judge Bond has told ex-U. S.
Sepator Chestnut, Judge Bacon and
others, that he has no idea of inter
fering; that he is here one week be
fore his Court meets, solely for the
purpose of examining into the busi
ness to come before him, and without
any other object whatever.
The Time*’Columbia dispatch says
that enough Republicans will absent
themselves tp give the organization
of the lo wer bouse to the Democrats.
U. S. Judge Bond writes: “The
Canvassing Board have never been
advised by me. No one has applied
to the Federal Circuit Court of thia
District. If any person does so ap
ply, and there is a statute for it, he
shall have relief; if there be no stat
ute, he must seek his remedy else
where.”

To-<laT
Columbia, Nov. 27.— 0n applica
tion for writs of habeas corpus, the
Board of .State Canvassers were
brought this morniDg into the Unit
ted States Circuit Court Judges
Bond and Bryan presiding. The
board were in the custody of the
sheriff of this county, who through
counsel asked for time to make a re
turn to the application for writs. The
court signified that time would be
granted, and that the prisoners
would be held in custody of the court
pending the return.
The application is based on the
ground that the board were discharg
ing their duties of appointing Presi
dential Electors when the Supreme
Court of the State interferred.
On a subsequent motion of coun
sel, time was granted until Wednes
day, 10 o’clock, to make a return,
pending which the board are placed
in charge of She U. S. Marshal. The
members are now at large, but ac
companied by deputy marshals.
It is understood that troops will be
posted at the State House to-morrow,
when the Legislature is to organize.
A MANLY PROTEST.
STRONG APPEAL TO GEN. GRANT AGAINST
THE USE OF HIS SOLDIERS TO CON
TROL THE LEGISLATURE.
Columbia, Nov. 27.—The following
dispatch, signed by Senator Gordon,
of Georgia, Senator Johnson, of
Virginia, Gen. Wade Hampton, sev
eral Circuit Judges, and a large num
ber of State Senators and Represen
tatives, white and colored, and many
citizens of the State, has just been
sent to the President of the United
States;
We. the undersigned, visitors from
a distance, Committee of the Demo
cratic members elect of the South
Carolina Legislature, the Democratic
Executive Committee and citizens,
having just seen by the Associated
Press .dispatch that Gov. Chamber
lain' has’ applied for United States
troops tp be placed under his orders
at the assembling of the Legislature
to-morrow, send this our solemn pro
test against the troops being placed
under command of Gov. Chamber
lain.
Wo liuve no objections to the pres
ence of troops, and will co-operate
with them in preserving the peace,
but we protest against the use of the
United States Army in controlling
the organization of the Legislature
and enforcing the inauguration of
Gov. Chamberlain, who has been de
feated by the white and colored
voters at the ballot box.
There is not the remotest danger of
the disturbance of the peace by Dem
ocrats. If it occurs, it will be at the
instigation of Gov. Chamberlain,
whose partisans havo taken the only
lives lost in the late exciting canvass
in this State. Not one drop of blood
has been shed in any political dis
turbance, except by Republicans. It
is literally true that the Democrats
received their greatest majorities in
the counties where the United States
soldiers were stationed. What pre
tense, therefore, is there for Gov.
Chamberlain’s demand for troops to
keep the peace.
Wo refer for confirmation of these
statements to the commanders of the
United States forces at this place and
elsewhere in the State.
The Democratic committee and
Democratic State Executive Commit
tee telegraphed this afternoon to city
Justice Waite, regulating his attend
tendance at the U. S. Circuit Court
on Wednesday, when the habeas
corps case of the State Board of Can
vassers will be heard.
Both parties are ill caucus to-night,
and the city is full of people.
Nothing transpired since this morn
ing. Considerable anxiety is felt.

PRELIMINARY WORK OF THE BOARD.
Tallahassee, Nov. 27.—The Can
vassing Board met in the office of the
Secretary of State—Mr. McLin in the
Chair. Upon the meeting of the
Board a protest was filed by the Elec
tors against Attorney General Cocke’s
itting as a member of the board on
the ground that he had virtually de
cided-given a decision prior to the
assembling of the board, in that he
had telegraphed : The Democrats
had carried certainly the State, and
that, the Republicans could not cheat
them out of it.
Mr. Cocke stated that he had sent
the dispatch in reply to a friend in
Baltimore, who had asked his opin
ion, and who furnished it to the
newspapers. He respectfully sub
mitted that the dispatch, and the
opinion therein contained, did not
disqualify him from sitting as a
member of the Board.
The protest was entered, and the
Board proceeded with the regular
business.
Mr. Cowgill moved that Oov.
Stearns and Gen. Bruulia, command
ing troops at this point, be admitted
to the sessions.
Mr. Cocke amended by adding the
name of Mr. G. F. Drew.
The amendment was accepted.
The board went into private ses
sion, and adopted rules for its gov
ernment.
Tbe board then" agreed to admit
six gentlemen from abroad and six
local politicians from each side.
Adjourned . until to-morrow, ten

Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer.]
New Orleans, Nov. 23.—1 t is set
tled now beyond doubt that the Rad
ical leaders here have Information
that public opinion in the North is
so strongly against arbitrary rulings
of their Star Chamber Returning
Board that they will pursue a more
moderate course, but yet endeavor to
conceal their frauds as far as possi
ble. Their information came, it is
said, in the shape of telegrams from
both Grant and Zach Chandler, who
are themselves alarmed at the tido of
public feeling, and hence the caution
given to the Radical officials here.
John Sherman, of Ohio, has, in all
their councils, protested against
their fraudulent measures, and it is
thought that his Is the Influence
which has brought these telegraphic
cautionary signals from Washington.
That, coupled with the reported
move made by the Rothschilds, may
have occasioned the commotion
which exists iti Republican circles
to-night. H. L. S.

seeking to take the applicants out of

Court holding neither position tena

San Francisco, Nov 27.—A Chron
icle special from Portland, Oregon,
says an intimate friend of Gov. Gro
ver asserts that ho will not give Watts
n certificate of election. The Con
servative Democrats and Republicans
generally doubt the report. Crown,

he would not accept the appointment
if Watts was thrown out. Nothing

Cheyenne, W. TANARUS., Nov. 23.—One
hundred Snake and Shoshone Indi
ans have joined General Crook’s com
mand at Fort Reno, making nearly
four hundred Indian allies in all and
the total strength of the command
2,000. The hostile Indians, accord
ing to the best information, are scat

Mountains, and a campaign on each
side may benecsssary before complet

Patent* In Great Britain.
The “Commissioners of Patents”
of Queen Viqtoria haver just mado
public their annual report, which
will be in the hands of Parliament in
a few days. It is a document differ
ing widely from the similar publica
tion issued, not long ago, by the
United States Patent Office; but is,
notwithstanding, full of interesting
information. Messrs. Louis Bagger
& do., patent attorneys, Washing
ton,D. C.,have compiled some tables
from this report, of which the follow
ing is an extract:
The total number of patents grant
ed in Great Britain (exclusive of the
colonies) last year was 4,561, or very
few more than, during the same pe
riod of time, were granted in tho
United States to residents in tho
State of New York alone. The reve
nue of the office was £110,950 sterling,
more than six times that of the
United States Patent Office. Of
the number of applications filed,
1,173 were forfeited and became pub
lic pnJberty, owing to tho non-pay
ment of the required fees. Within
the past eighteen months the Lon
don patent office has had added to it
the office for registering designs,
and also that for registering trade
marks—this latter office being anew
creation entirely, while tho former
office Was merely transferred from
the London Board of Trade. *
The Jetty Sea Route.
Notwithstanding the work in pro
gress at the head of South Pass, the
fall shipping bound for New Orleans
is seeking tne South Pa3s as the best
channel, and by far the easiest en
trance to the river. No less than
eighteen foreign and several Ameri
can vessels have passed through the
iettiea in the last month. Yesterday
three large vessels—the American
ship McGilvey and the two Norwe
gian barks, G. B. Harbitz and Ama
tliea—sailed into the jetties without
the aid of towboats, und sweeping
past Port Eads in splendid style,
moved up the Pass, glad to got into a
safe and snug harbor from the stormy
wind and rough sea outside.
Nothing could more clearly demon
strate the intiuito superiority of the
jetties over the dredged channel at
Southwest Pass. There the channel
is so crooked and narrow that it
would be almost impossible to sail a
large ship in from sea over the bar
wituout grounding her. The straight,
broad and deep channel through the
jetties enables vessels to sail in with
out aid to a sheltered harbor, and
vessels are not compelled to lie out
side in rough weather, to await pilots
and tows, as at Southwest Pass.
There is no longer a doubt as to
the value and complete success of the
jetties. With a little more work at
the head of the Pass, there will bean
unobstructed deep outlet for the
heaviest ships.— N. 0. Times.

A Man of Iron .’Verve,
That Mr. Tilden resembles Napo
leon, but not in the face, is the opin
ion of a correspondent of the Phila
delphia Times. He says: “The
homeliness and dullness of Tilden
are unrelieved, save by the occasion
al light of a cold, yet .genial, smile
from the small, pleasant, firm mouth.
The face, despite a rather fresh com
plexion, has a washed-out, faded
look. Its lines betray the wear and
tear of deep study, of severe mentar
strata, unrest and intrigue, and the
eager grasp of boundless ambition.
The lips denote no passion, save the
passion for power, and the steei-like,
pale-blue eye flashes back no re
sponse to the enthusiastic greetings
of the men who take his hand. It is
an utterly impassive, yet astute and
distrustful face, with no shade of im
periousness, but weak and mild,
with the single exception of tbe thin,
cold lips, which denote the charac
ter of the man as no other feature
ever can do. No position to which
he may be called will materially af
fect the mechanical routine of his
ways, nor stamp his features with a
single emotion. If there be raging
fires of unrest within, a coating of
ice conceals them. If there be wild,
tossing fears of defeat, the passion
less face masks them well. Not a
nerve Seems unstrung, not a muscle
quivers,”
From tho Now York Hersld, Kth.)
THE SOUTH CAROLINA MOCKERY.
At this momont the attitude and
the wise oounsol of Wade Hampton
in South Carolina are worthy of the
imitation of his fellow-Domocruts all
over tho country. The South Caroli
na Democrats appealed to the Su
premo Court of tho State, consisting
of threo judges, all Republicans, to
decide the proper functions, under
the Constitution, of the Returning
Board. That board consists of five
Republicans, all State officers, and
three candidates for re-election, and
therefore sitting as judges on their
own cases.
The Supremo Court heard argu
ment and issued a temporary injunc
tion pending further argument, by
which the Returning Board was or
dered to count and report, to the
court tho actual votes cast according
to the returns of the County Commis
sioners, and to await the final deci
sion of tho court on the further ques
tion whether tho bourd had under
the Constitution such judicial func
tions as would authorize it to hear
objections or todecide generally upon
the validity of the votos. On Mon
day the board accordingly reported
to the court that the returns snowed
the Senate to consist of eighteen Re
publicans and flftoen Democrats, the
House of GO Republicans and 64 Dem
ocrats ; 1 majority for the Democrats
on joint ballot. Thereupon the court
proceeded to hear further argument
on the functions of the board ; and
while this was going on, and while
the counsel of tho Returning Board
were actually in court and taking
part in the proceedings, the Bourd
met privately, flung out two Demo
cratic counties on, as well as one dis
senting member declares in a written
protest, merely ex parte evidence;
hastily made out certificates of elec
tion to Republican members of the
Legislature and to Hayes electors and
adjourned sine die.
The members claim that ten days
was the legal limit of their existence
as a board, but if they believed this,
and if their counsel, curiously enough
the United States District Attorney,
so advised them, why should they
have notified tho Court? Why did
their counsel attend at Court at the
very time of this action, and thus
help to deceive the Supreme Judges?
Why should the board do by a trick
what they assert to be right? This
is what the country asked yesterday
when the news was read. Under these
grave and exasperating cireumstam
ces Gen. Wade Hampton issues an
address to tho people of South Car
olina, urging the utmost order, abso
lute peace and patience.
The advice is sound and patriotic,
and the North, without respect to
party linos, thanks him for it.
THE RECENT ATTITUDE OF THE DEMO
CRATS
in South Carolina has been a model
of self-command and loyal submis
sion of their interests and rights to
the proper arbitrament of the courtß.
The country has watched them with
auxietv, but with increasing satisfac
tion. We hope they will observe
strictly the aumouition of their lead
er uud candidate for Governor. AVe
are a free and law-abiding people,
und this matter will be settled ac
cording to law.
IRRITATING, JUSTLY IRRITATING,
as such unworthy trickery is, the
North, too, must command its tem
per and have patience. The snare
we are in can be disentangled only
with patience, and by orderly anil
lawful methods. Any one who to
day, or at this time, counsels or even
fails to condemn violence- any one
who adds, by incendiary advice or
suggestion, to the prevailing and just
irritation and excitement—does an
unpatriotic act and deserves the se
verest condemnation of tbe public.
We are glad to find in tne most influ
ential Democratic journals here the
soundest advice on the subject. Let
them have patience and confidence.
The North, the Northern Republi
can party, is fast awakening to a
comprehension of the situation.
This is not a matter in which the
Democrats can usefully act. The
initiative does not belong to them ;
their part is to wait in patience, in
absolute order and quiet. The chief
duty of the crisis falls upon the Re
publican masses. They are honest
und sensible, they will not tolerate
wrong or trickery, or even the ap
pearance of wrong in this matter. It
is for them to demand, in public
meatiugs, not only or merely au hon
est count, hut such measures as shall
assure them and their Democratic
neighbors and friends that there are
no taints ot suspicion about it. Un
less we greatly mistake the temper
and attitude of the Republican
masses, they-will make themselves
heard and their influence felt to this
end very soou. As we write, we have
beforo us a private letter from one of
the leading Republicans of Massa
chusetts, who writes us: “What do
you think of the election? I hope
Tilden will get it as the matter
stands.” That is what to-day nine
out of ten of the honest Republicans
think, and we say to the Republican
leaders plainly that they have
become, within the last week,
objects of suspicion to their
own party and the public equally
with the Returning Board, in
whose proceedings and character
they are involved, and that unless
they at once and conspicuously en
deavor to oppose themselves to all
trickery, and to everything which
bears even tiie faintest odor of in
tended fraud, they will see the hon
est men of their own party rise up in
public meeting all over the country
and denounce them. The Republi
can party is not made up of rogues
and Tombs lawyers. It contains a
great mass of honest, honorable, pa
triotic men, and these will not toler
ate what would make them hang
their heads with shame. They will
not allow their leaders to resort to
trickery, to base devices, or to doubt
ful means to count in their candi
dates. Already the Republican opin
ion of the proceedings in the disput
ed States is such that it has become
almost impossible decently to count
in Gov. Hayes.
Already the wisest Republicans
gay in conversation that, forthe sake
of their party, they hope for Mr. Til
den’s return. As yet the honest Re
publican masses are waiting inai
lenee, but witb decreasing patience.
But any further appearance of
trickery, or the least continuation of
these attempts in the disputed States
to take advantage of shallow legal
technicalities, to resort to underhand
and unworthy means, such as the re
cent hearing of testimony charging
intimidation, on which the Louisana
Returning Board has, It is said, de-
terminod, will givo voice to tho
smothered indignation of the Repub
lican party, who cannot stand silent
and see t.homselvdS and -the good
fume of their party sold Into dis
grace.
The Herald also says: Our New Or
leans, correspondent telegraphs that
the Returning Board has determined
to hear evidenco on charges of in
timidation in secret session. Why
secret session ? What are these men
thinking of? Do they lmagino that
there is no power of indignation
umong Northern Bepublicans ? Can
they not see that by their tricks and
secrecy they ure making public sat
isfaction with the counting in of Mr.
Hayes an impossibility ? They will
hear evidence in secret session, and
will then make up the totals of the
State and Electoral vote on the dAV
the Electors are to meet, we are told,
so as to prevent appeals to the
courts, that is to say, they mean to
repeat, but with au adroit improve
ment, the South Carolina trick. Is
it not time for honest Republicans all
over the North to speak out; to let
these political gamblers know that
they must stop ? The Democrats are
silent and passive—that is their duty;
they must remain so; but the Repub
lican merchants, lawyers, clergy,
farmers, mechanics—can they afford
to remain silent whon such things
aro done in South Carolina and pre
paring in Louisiana ? Evidence ac
cumulates that there is a cancortod
plot to count in Hayes in the three
disputed States by open and shame
less trickery. That is not what the
Republican masses want. They wish
fair pluy. Is it not time for them to
speak out, in public meetings ?

A Doe tliat Didn't Live In Vain.
From tbe Msmpbls Ledger.]
A well-known Memphis coni dealer,
not long since, had a big dog of wonder
ful sagacity. He (the dog) strayed around
the coal yard, and whenever a coal cart
was hauled on the scales the dog always
took a stand under the wagon like a
coach dog. lie weighed nearly one hun
dred pounds, and was weighed as coal
thousands of time, and nearly every coal
consumer in the city purchased that dog
at so much per barrel. The practice
went on for months, and was only discov
covered by a funny accident. A negro
wanted a barrel of coal, and wheeled a
hand-cart with coal on the weighing
scales. The clerk in the office worked at
the scales, and hallooed through the win
dow, “take out a lot of that coal.” The
negro did so, and kept on until all tbe
coal was out of the cart. The clerk tried
the scales again, but the pea indicated
too much—“ Take out more coal.” shout--
ed the clerk ; “d—n it, you have a boat
load of coal on that cart." “Look hyar,
boss," replied the negro, “the coal is all
out, and I'll havo to take the wheels, off
the cart if you want to lighten it.” Then
the negro looked under the cart, and see
ing the big dog at his post, exclaimed:
aLord God, massa, you’s selling me that
dog for coal.” The dog was missed in a
few days and was found dead on the
scales, the animal having taken some
poison accidentally, hut he came back to
die at his post. It was a line example of
‘,‘faithful unto death.”
