WASHINGTON.
Hayes’ Hair-Splitting Policy.
He May Station Troops
Around, but Not in a
State House!
Order to Withdraw Troops
From State House at
Columbia.
CHAMBERLAIN WIVES CP THE
CONTEST.
HAMPTON NOT SURPRISED AT THE
ORDER.
Washington, April I.—Gov. Hamp
ton leaves at 1 o’clock this morning.
He has reason to believe that the
troops will be withdrawn from the
State House at Columbia shortly af
ter his arrival there, Tuesday.
In reference to the withdrawal of
troops from South Carolina, it can
be authoritatively stated that Presi
dent Hayes is decidedly opposed to
leaving garrisons of Federal troops
in the State House of any State. He
holds the theory that the troops may
be stationed in the vicinity of any
place where a difficulty is liable
to occur, and in case of
violence or riot they may be called
upon to preserve the peace. The
former he regards as purely political
and without warrant of constitution
al provision, while the latter is a le
gitimate governmental act and can
be as appropriately exercised in
South Carolina as it. is in the various
other States where garrisons are now
stationed.
The enforcement of these views
will relieve South Carolina, but do
not cover the Louisiana case, Pack
ard being intrenched in the State
House, and the soldiers in the vicini
ty.
Washington, Apr. 2.—Stanley Mat
thews called upon the President at
7 o’clock yesterday morning. The
President then heard the Rev. l)r.
Martin, and had his afternoon ride
with Zach Chandler and Secretary
Sherman.
Gov. Hampton, Stanley Matthews
and Judge Carter had a consultation
during the day.
The coalition by which Foster, Gar
field or Banks will become speaker
is gaining head. The Republican
represents Gov. Hampton as notstub
born on the subject.
There is nothing this morning to
change the programme foreshadow
ed for South Carolina. Very soon
after Hampton and Chamberlain re
turn, troops will be withdrawn from
the State House, and the Chamber
lain Government will be allowed to
fall to pieces.
There is nothing new in the Louis
iana situation, beyond that a re-can
vass of the direct vote for Governor
will not be among the duties of the
Commission,as re-opening that ques
tion might taint the general return.
These are their plans: First, to
compromise Packard into abdication ;
second, convene a Legislature which
will count him out; and third, to
withdraw support and let him peter
out. If the last remedy becomes
necessary, a change in the Custom
House will precede pacification, as
it is known Packard relies on that
institution as at present organized
for sinews or war.
At a Cabinet meeting this morning
the Secretary of War was directed to
prepare an order transferring the
troops from the State House in Co
lumbia to their camp.
Debt decrease $1,410,701.64, of
which $95,538.00 consists of cancelled
Geneva award bonds.
A formal order to Gen. Ruger to
remove the troops from the State
House at Columbia is being prepared
by the Secretary of War, but will not
be sent to Ruger or made public till
to-morrow.
Gen. Sherman was closeted with
Secretary McCrary for some time be
fore the preparation of the order was
commenced, which will be in the na
ture of a dispatch to Gen. Ruger and
not a general order through the usual
military channels. It is generally
believed the order will not be seßt
until submitted to Cabinet to-mor
row afternoon.
Gov. Chamberlain, up to 4 o’clock,
did not believe a conclusion to re
move the troops had been reached.
Whnn he had official confirmation
of tha fact, he said: "It ends the
struggle and makes Gen. Hampton
practical Governor.”
Chamberlain dines with the Presi
; dent to-night, and leaves for Colum
bia Wednesday morning.
When Gov. Hampton was inform
ed this afternoon, in advance of offi
cial notification that an order would
be issued for tho removal of troops
from the State House, he expressed
himself much gratified, but said it
was no more than be expected from
the principles annouuced in the in
augural address. He was somewhat
interested to know whether the or
der would take immediate effect,
as be wished to be preseut in Colum
bia when it was executed. However,
as a precautionary measure,
he would at once telegraph to
friends in Columbia his earnest wish
that there should be no outward de
monstrations, such as might disturb
the public peace, and he was satis
fied his advice would be respected.
On the withdrawal of the troops
from the State House, he would
direct that a guard of two unarmed
men be sent there to guard It from
improper intrusions, and he thought
such force would be sufficient for the
purpose. He felt satisfied there
would be no disturbance whatever,
and that the people throughout the
State would take courage to repair
their shattered Industries.
He called thi3 afternoon to take
leave of the President, and thank
him for the withdrawal of the troops,
repealing the assurance given in his
recent letter, that all should share
alike in the protection of the la|r,
and not doubting his ability to pre
serve the peace. He does not appre
hend that Gov. Chamberlain will
take any action with regard to the
custody of the State House.
Gov. Hampton leaves to-night for
Columbia. It seems to be under
stood that in accordance with Gov.
Hamptons’ wishes the order will not
reach Ruger until Wednesday.
HAVES' TITLE TO BE TESTF.iI'
THE PAPERS PREPARED.
New York, Apr. 2.—The Express says
while Judge Carter, of the District of
Columbia, has said no proceedings
have been instituted in his court to
test the title of Mr. Hayes to the
Presidency, upon the authority of a
gentleman who has seen the papers,
it may be stated that theyare all pre
pared and in possession of Hon. R.
T. Merrick, a lawyer of Washington,
who represented Mr. Tilden before
the Electoral Commission. It is said
suit will be commenced as soon
as the troops are withdrawn from
South Carolina. It is claimed though
the Electoral Commission had not
power under the electoral law to as
certain facts that were present
ed in the lawful certificates of the
election of Electors, the court would
have power to sift the question by
lull enquiry into the law and the
facts.

STATEMENTS ABOUT THEIR RAILROAD
WAR.
Baltimore, April 2.—ln regard to
tho meeting of the Presidents of the
Trunk Railroad said to have taken
place in New York on Saturday in ref
fluence to freight rates east and west,
the following is furnished in this city
for publication:
In order to correct the mischiev
ous effects of the false statements
that have been made as to the combi
nation of the Erie, Ne.w York Central
and Pennsylvania Railroad Compa
nies in oppostion to the Baltimore
and Ohio Company, the following
dispatch from President Scott is pro
hibited :
Philadelphia, April 2, 1877.
To John W. Garrett, President of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad :
I notice in some of the papers a
statement to the effect that the two
New York lines aDd the Pennsylvania
Road had entered into a combination
on Saturday, offensive and defensive,
against your road-all of wihch you
have the best of leasons for knowing
is, of course, without any foundation
whatever.
[Signed] Thomas A. Scott,
President.
President Garrett states that all
the allegations of bad faith against
the Baltimore & Ohio Cos., are equal
ly without foundation, and that this
company can clearly demonstrate
that its action has throughout, under
the agreement of December, been
just and proper. The Baltimore &
Ohio Cos. has been and continues to
be, not only willing but earnestly de
sirous to advance rates to a remuner
ative standard, and to arrange and
maintain all tariffs upon perfectly
just and equitable principles, such
as will without doubt meet with gen
eral approval
It is understood that Mr. Garrett
left for New York this evening.

THE EASTERN QUESTION.
HI’SSIAXS STILE PKKBICT WAX
St. Petersburg, April 2.—ln spite
of the signing of the protocol,
pessimist views again prevail, and
war is considered inevitable. Tbe
newspaper Vedorst declares the pro
tocol tha beginning of a denoument.
Russia cannot disarm unless con
vinced she need not arm again. War
may not be immediate, but is inevi
table.
Oolos says the signing of the pro
tocol does not decide peace or war.
Journal de St. Petersburg says the
debates in the Turkish Parliament
leaves little hope for a peaceful issue.
London, April 2.—Special dispatch
es from Berlin to the Post and News,
and from Paris to the Standard, rep
resent public feeling in those places
as not increased in hopefulness by
thesigna'ure of the protocol.
The Times in a leadiug article,
says: Now that the protocol has
been signed, we may fairly credit
our government with considerable
diplomatic success. Our government
has abandoned a point of form to
Russia, but on the other hand, Rus
sia is ready to declare that she will
consent to demobilize her forces and
receive an envoy from the Porte for
the purpose of considering disarma
on both sides, if Turkey should make
peace with Montenegro and show
herself disposed to disband her forces
and also manifest an earnest wish to
set about the work of reform. Were
Russia ready, anxious for war
some weeks or months hence,
she would not be bound by anything
in the protocol. The value of the
protocol depends on the disposition
of Russia herself. She has good rea
son to believe, however, that Russia
is really anxious to secure a dignified
way of retreat from a position of ten
ible daugerand perplexity. We need
not pay much attention to rumors
that her warlike preparations have
recently been growing more defiinite
then ever. Such reports may have
been spread to secure diplomatic
ends, and even if accurate, they may
reveal nothing more than precaution
against necessities which Russia
would gladly avoid.
A special from Vienna to the
Telegraph says that tbe Prince of
Montenegro lias refused to command
the Bosnian insurgents, alleging
that consideration for Austria oblig
ed his doing so.

PACKARD'S THREAT OF A GUERRILLA
WARFARE.
Special to N. 0. Democrat.]
Washington, March 31. —lt is prl
vutely stated here this evening that
Blaiue offered to let South Carolina
go by the board und not make any
fuss about it, or attack the President
on it, provided tho President would
agree to insist on a compromise in
Louisiana, giving the governorship
to Nicholls and reserving two sena
torships for the Republicans, one of
them to be given to Kellogg. If this
bo true, ami it probably is, it serves
to show that the euemy has already
beet) driven to the last ditch.
The policy of the people of Louis
iana should be to imitate the firm
ness displayed by Hampton through
out.
It is already shown that the admin
istration dares not trifle with the
embers of revolution tnat smolder
in those two prostrate States, and a
display of firmness invariably pro
duces concession. Blaine’s idea is
that, with South Carolina disposed
of, all the guns of Radicalism could
be turned on Louisiana to force a
compromise. If the Commission is
met squarely and firmly, all will be
well.
It is noticeable that three mem
bers of the Commission—Harlan,
Blown and McVeigh—are promi
nently identified with the greatest
business enterprises of the South
west, and the tine Italian hand of
Stanley Matthews is distinctly trace
able in their selections.
Matthews is now here, having come
on to keep watch on Blaine, and to
prevent him from bulldozing Hayes.
It is noticeable that the Presi
dent’s backbone has stiffened up
since Matthews arrived.
The latest threat of Packard is
that, if the troops are withdrawn, he
will abandon New Orleans and estab
lish himself in some of the negro par
ishes, where he will inaugurate a
guerrilla warfare. This threat is
being used by Kellogg, and has been
laid before the President. Oa the
other hand, the President has au
thoritative assurances that tho peo
ple of Louisiana will undertake all
the risks of such action on Packard’s
part, provided tlie Federal Govern
ment does not interfere. Buell.
White slavery In Egypt.
Alexandria Cor. London Standard.]
Of course, in a country under Mo
hammedan rule, where the harem
system is in operation, slavery as a
domestic institution will exist; and
so far as one can judge from recent,
events, Egypt does not seem likely
to prove an exception. Every oue
remembers how, only a few weeks
ago, the salable portion of the late
Mefettish’s harem (estimated at three
hundred in number, in white slaves
alone) were brought to the hammer
in Cairo, and that, too, at the very
time that, the Khedive announced his
intention of suppressing the slave
trade on the Red Bea. His Highness’
own example in such matters cannot
be considered as altogether satisfac
tory, when oue considers the vast
number of women and slaves that
fill his harems and contribute to his
financial embarrassments. I am
creditably informed that, for two fe
male slaves alone, purchased at Con
stantinople from the Chief Eunuch
to the Sultan, the Khedive paid no
less than £30,000. Of course, they
were the most beautiful houris—in
fact, so much so as to have aroused
the jealousy of the other inmates to
an extent which at last compelled
their proprietor to send them away.
The mode usually adopted in such
cases is to marry the lady, after pro
viding her with a suitable dowry, to
some favored courtier, who considers
himseir much honored by the distinc
tion. This mode of disposing of the
superfluities of the Viceregal ha
rem, though preferable to tne
old plan of sewing them in
sacks and throwing them
iuto the Nile, does not, unfortunate
ly, always insure tho domestic hap
piness of the discarded favorite. In
one case which came to my knowl
edge, an officer in the Egyptian army
who had been honored iu the above
way, on seeing his bride for the first
time after the wedding, found her so
unattractive that he refused to live
with her, and persisted iu his deter
mination, although warned of the
displeasure which he would incur in
higtl quarters. The sequel to the
story is equally Instructive, and
throws mucti iighton Oriental habits
arid customs. The husband was ap
pointed the “wakil” or deputy of the
governor of a town far away iu
the interior, and during the
absence of his chief on a cam
paign had occasion to open Govern
ment dispatches, among which were
instructions to the effect that he was
himself to be put out of the way,
either by poisoned coffee or other
means. The officer, as iu duty
bound, acknowledged the receipt of
the letter intouded for his superior,
merely adding that during the lat
ter’s absence the request it contain
ed could not be complied
with without detriment to the public
service, but that upon his return
everything should be done as direct
ed. In the meantime, I believe the
gentleman found it convenient to
seek employment elsewhere.
Enffee In Mexico.
Philadelphia Press.]
The following statements in regard
to the production of coffee in Mexico
are from John W. Foster, U. S. Min
ister to that country:
It may be an unknown fact to many
Americans that at our very doors, in
Mexico, our neighboring republic,
there exists the agricultural capacity
to produce all the coffee that can be
consumed in the United States, and
of a quality equal to the best grown
in any country. Mexico, it is true, is
export ing but little coffee, and figures
small in the coffee-producing coun
tries, but its capacity and adaptabili
ty for its production have been tested
by more than fifty years of successful
cultivation. The topograohical and
climatic character of the country is
admirably adapted to this purpose.
The coffee-producing regions are
found on the entire line of the sea
slope of the mountains from Guate
mala, on thesoutn, on the Pacific
side, for more than 1,000 miles to the
north, till it reaches a line in Hinaloa
where occasional Hosts endanger the
crops, and also for more than a thou
sand miles on the gulf coast from Yu
catan into Tamauli pas. In addition
to these immense stretches of eoun-
try it flourishes in the numerous and
fertile valleys of the interior, wher
ever the great tubie-land is sufficient
ly depressed to reach the level of tho
tropical and semi-tropieal vegeta
tion. The elevation above the level
of the sea at which it is thought cof
fee is most favorably grown is from
1.000 to 4,000 feet; but in Mexico it is
cultivated with success at. an eleva
tion of 4,500 teot, and is found even
still higher. So, also, it is grown at
a lower level than 1,000 feet, as in va
rious places in Mexico it is produced
at the very sea-side. Off the eastern
coast of Yucatan, on the Island of
Cozumel, coffee trees of prolific yield
are growing nearly at the sea-level,
as well as iu many localities on both
the Pacillo and gulf coasts. So it
will be seen that the area for the cul
tivation of coffee in Mexico is im
mense. The amount of its produc
tion, so far as its natural capacity is
concerned, need only to be limited
by the extent of land brought under
cultivation.
Clilrn'B Council of Nine.
Ban Francisco, March 29. —The latest
from Chico shows that what is known as
the Council of Nine is mainly responsible
lor the recent murder of Chinamen. This
committee was elected by the Labor Union
for tbe trial of members for offences against
tbe order. As vacancies occurred the
Council filled them, and thus became in
dependent of the order, and commanded
the obedience of members. Then came
suggestions tor the commission of the
crimes that have since come to light, and
many more that were never execuied. All
of tho Council are now under arrest. Many
members of the Labor Union evidently
know nothing of the crimes of the Coun
cil of Nine, and believe the object of the
order to be only to discourage the em
ployment of Chinese by lawful means. The
oath administered in initiating members
of tbe Labor Union is as follows: “I do
solemnly swear that I will assist any
brother in need or distress as far as I am
able. I further swear that I will aid in
executing the laws of the United States
of America. So help me God.” Tlier.:
is a secondary degree in the order, the
oatli to which is as follows: “I swear be
fore God Almighty that I will carry out
and obey all the orders of the Council of
Nine, whatever they may be. If Ido not
do so my life is forfeited and I may be put
to death by this Council of Nine.”
A lllltflilcil Life.
A few mornings since a Philadelphia
matron called to see her young married
daughter, who resides on North Eleventh
street, and found her weeping bitterly.
“Oh, mother, take me home. My heart
is broke,” sobbed tbe daughter, throwing
herself into her mother's arms.
After hc-r tears had somewhat subsided
the mother said:
“Hardly a year married, and here 1 find
you in tears. What does this mean? Has
Henry been unkind to you?”
“No,” sobbed the daughter, “but he
doesn’t love me any longer, and my heart
is breaking.”
“Come, come, child, cheer up. Tell me
why you think him untrue to you. Does
he show it?”
“Yes,” was the heart-broken reply,
“O, the scoundrel! O, the viper!” gasped
the mother. “My poor, dear child,” she
fairly sobbed, “your mother won’t desert
you. She'll bring that, villain to liis knees.
Wlml insult has he offered you, my child?
Speak, tell me the worst.”
“O, mother, I can’t.”
“You must, my child. Tell me, though
the heavens fall, what outrage has lie
committed?”
“He swore last night when I put my
cold feet to his back,” sobbed the daught-
“Is that all?” gasped the mother.
“Yes, but he never did so before. All
last winter he never said a word when 1
put my cold feet to his back, and now I
know he doesn't love me;’’ and then the
poor girl’s tears broke out afresh.
Before the mother left she managed to
convince her daughter that all the world
was hollow, and that the hollow of a
man’s back was not the place for his wife’s
cold feet .—Philadelphia Item.

The Western and Atlantic Claim.
—The long pending claim of the Western
and Atlantic Railroad of Georgia appears
now to be in process adjustment. The
claim has been scaled down to $170,000,
and the Secretary of War has intimated
to the Quatermaster General that there
need be no further delay in its payment.
Senator Gordon has devoted much labor
and time to secure the adjustment of this
claim.
Twenty-one Kisses —The New York
Herald’s cable dispatches, Jwhich have
a reputation for veracity second only to
that of George Washinuton, say that the
tenor Nicolini kissed Patti’s hand twen
ty one times during the recent representa
tion of the opera of “Romeo and Juliet”
in Vienna. It is asserted that the stage
directions only provide for fix kisses.
The melancholy inference intended to be
drawn, therefore, is that the fifteen su
perfluous kisses were due to the guilty
passion of the tenor and the prima donna,
who flaunted the exuberance of their affect
ion in the face of the public.
The following are the weather foretell
ings for April, as given by Mr. Cather, of

About 1-4 cold, blustering, raw, and
dangerous stormy Period runs
several days aud will be accompanied by
frost and ice. About the middle of the
month cold, and probable storms. Inter
mediate weather showery, cloudy and
waim.
Note.—Hot weather is advancing very
rapidly. The extreme cold at the cooling
periods is more due to this fact than any
thing else, and the tendency is to bring on
the northers a little earlier than our pre
dictions.

to prevent the admission of young men
who arc unfit forthe ministry. Sever almin
isters favored the committee if there were
strong guards to prevent it from exercis

said that something would have to be
done or there would have to be two or
tbreo men appointed to oue charge. The
debate will be continued to-day. — World .

One of the pioneers in the Black Hills
paints a gloomy picture of the condition
of the settlers in that region. It appears
that the Indians are bent on holding
their country, and they are making a des
perate defense against the advance of civ
ilization. If the Federal troops are not
withdrawn from the South and sent to
the frontier where they should be posted,
or if the army appropriation fails; there
may be disastrous scenes in tho Black
