And Gets It, ol* Course il'DGi: nOMI W4ITIMG HIS OPPOU TIMTV. 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.” THE V. *. CIBCtiIT CAI.'KT TO KK- LfiAtiK THE BWAUD WE UXVMSFBi. Troops to surround U*e Court-house 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. —•s ■ FLORIDA. IIAI K*' EI.ECTOK* VOYETO EX CLIDE COCKE FROM .THE HOARD. 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 o’clock. 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. “Craoked Whiskey" In the supreme court. Washington, November 27.— 1n the Supreme Court, in the motion for habeas corpus in behalf of Hender son and others, from New Orleans, seeking to take the applicants out of prison in West Virginia, upon the ground that they were convicted in Louisiana, and West Virginia bad never assented to the use of her pris ons for the confinement of Federal prisoners, the writs were denied, the Court holding neither position tena ble. The Chief Justice delivered the opinion. These were convicts for whiskey frauds.

THE OREGON INELIGIBLE. <<>■■< rail i<mr> Report.. ’■ " ' ■■ 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, the Democratic Elector, whoreoeived the highest vote, stated recently that he would not accept the appointment if Watts was thrown out. Nothing can bo assuredly stated till the count is made. Washington, Nov. 27.—1 t is confi dently asserted here, that the Demo crats of Oregon are determined to let Congress decide, and that Crown certainly will cast a vote for Mr. Til den. The niack Hills War. 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 tered on both sides of the Big Horn Mountains, and a campaign on each side may benecsssary before complet ing the work of subjugation. Crazy Horse, with about four hundred lodges, is encamped on the Rosebud near the scene of the June fight, tor which point a cavalry command un der General Mackenzie moved from Fort Reno on the 22d, and would have to march about six days before reaching it. 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. ■ --■ ■ S 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 ? ALABAMA LEGISLATURE. Saturday, Hob. 23.—Tho following were among the bills presented in the Senate, on tho call of tho districts: Mr. Harris, to authorize tho Audit or to charge 10 per cent, commission against tax assessors for neglect of duty.

European advices say that the threatening attitude of the Porte, ac cording to late Constantinople ad vices, is not re-assuring. Russia is providing a number of sledges for a winter campaign. It is stated that a London house takes five million rubles of the Rus sian loan. ' _ ; Missouri.

In fact he is suffering from pleurisy now, and is actually ill. He seemed wea ried and only anxious to know about his old acquaintances. Ho seemed desolate and desirous of companion ship more than anything else. He is a mero wreck of his former self. Why, his vest is a third too large for him, and his features afe shrunken and pinched. He has suffered in tensely. He is entirely in the dark what to do, and even is without le gal advice.

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.” Belmont Cloths—the latest thing out, iu ladies’ Striped Suitings, at novlß tf J. S.
