New Orleans, April 10.—Yes-
terday the commission had three
hours secret consultation, and
then received the delegation
Inn the Cotton Exchange, rep-
resenting its business dements,
to whom they are reported to
have said that they had sought
Louisiana, but could not find it;
they found two governments,
two Su pi erne Courts, and an al-
leged dual government in all its
departments, but in fact by the
acknowledgment of all parties,
there is only one Legislature,
though it meets in two halls.
The moment that Legislature
meets in one body, it will be the
dtate of Louisiana, and while it
is m session, the only power in
ihe State that can secure the
intervention of the army. If self
government'is d- s red and the
withdrawal ot the army, it can
probably be secured in a no tu-
ber of days, should the public
opinion of the State compel its
Legislature to assemble as one
body. There are thirty-three of
the thirty-six Senators and one
bundled and tour of the one hun-
dred and twenty Representa-
tives whose election is not dis-
puted by either part.y, and the
commission urged that when
they assembled as such, the
commission could have nothing
whatever to sav about its ac
tion. The discussion continued
three hours. The delegation
was not inclined to accept the
suggestion, maintaining that
Nichols must be defended as
Governor to the fuLest extent.
The commission was in session
nine hours.
Washington, April 10.—The
Tribune’s New Orleans special
says : “President Hayes’ special
commission labored for four
hours yesterday, with the dele-
gation of leading business men
of the city, with the object of
persuading them to organize a
movement to compel the politi-
cians to form a consolidated Leg-
islature, of all the members in
botn rival bodies, whose election
is conceded. The members of
the commission made earnest
speeches. The business men
were, however, immovable. They
said that, rather than run the
risk ot having to endure Pack-
ard as Governor, they would re-
sist with arms, so as to make a
military government necessary.
To-day’s experiments ends this
compromise plan The commis-
sion may now try to bring about
<jii adjustment ol a Legislature
trom the face of the parish re-
turns. This is the only com-
promise that has the least pros-
pect of acceptance by the con-
servatives.”
Columbia, S. C., April 10.—
The United States troops were
formed, and moved out of the
State House at 12 m. to-day.
^ Columbia, S. C„ April 10.—
The following correspondence is
published :
State ot South Carolina, j
Executive Chamber, l
Columbia, S. C. April 10, 1877. J
Sir, Having learned that you
now propose to turn over to me
the executive chamber, with the
records and papers belonging to
the executive office now in your
possession, I beg to inform you
that I will send a proper officer
to receive the same, at any hour
you may indicate as most con-
venient to yourself.
Very respectfully your obe-
dient servant,
Wade Hampton, Gov’r.
To lion. D, H. Chamberlain.
Stated South Carolina, ")
Executive Chamber, l
Columbia, S. C. April 10, 1877. j
Sir, Replying to your note of
this date, I have to say that my
Private Secretary will meet such
officer as you may designate, at
12 m. to-morro w, at the executive
chamber, for the purpose indi-
cated in your note.
Veiy respectfully,
D. H. Chamberlain,
Governor of South Carolina.
To Hon. Wau.c Hampton.
Washington, April 10.—Yerv
extensive revenue frauds in the
manvfacture of tobacco in North
Carolina, have recently been
discovered, and the department
purposes taking vigorous meas-
ures to bring the parties con-
cerned in them to speedy justice.
Some thirty manufacturers in
the county of Surrey are charged
with participation in these fraud-
ulent transactions, and have
been indicted before a grand
jury of the United States Cir-
cuit Court for the western dis-
trict of North Carolina, within
the past few days, through the
efforts of Revenue Agents Wag-
ner and Brooks. Maj. Wagner
has charge of tne district in
which these frauds were perpe-
trated. As a means of deterring
the revenue agents from the per-
formance of their duties, a mim
ber of suits have beeu brought
against them for alleged techni-
cal irregularities, but the de-
partment has signified its inten-
sion to fully sanction the agents
in their prosecution ol these and
all violators of the internal rev-
enue laws, and has assured them
that the power of the govern-
ment will be invoked to protect
them against all such suits. The
frauds discovered in North Car-
olina are estimated by the rev-
enue agents to exceed one-third
of the total amount of internal
revenue taxes collected in that
State.

Washington, April 10.—A, K.

cial Treasury Agents, relieving
Maj. W illiain B. Moore, who
will be released as a Special
Agent.
There will be for the present
no Treasury appointments from
New England, New York, Penn-
sylvania, Ohio. Delaware, Mary
land. Virginia, West Virginia
and the District of Columbia.
K. G. M. Lockwood appointed
chief clerk of the Interior de-
partment, and F. A. Seeleye,
chid clerk of the patent office.
Foundered.
There is no excitement what-
ever. All seem to take the re-
sult as proper for the future wel-
fare of the State. The surren-
der of the government to Hamp-
ton was preceded by an inter-
esting and dignified statement of
the situation of Chamberlain.
Columbia, S. C., April 10.—
Chamberlain’s address to the
Republicans of South Caroliua
concludes: “But the edict has
gone forth, nor arguments or
considerations which your friend
could preseut, have sufficed to
avert the disaster. No effective
means of resistance to the con-
summation of the wrong are left;
the struggle cannot be prolong
ed. My strict legal rights are,
of course, whollp unaffected by
the action of the President. No
court ot the State has jurisdic-
tion to pass upon the title to my
office; no lawful Legislature can
be convened except upon my
call. It the use of these powers
promises intimate success to our
cause, I should not shrink from
any sacrifice which might con-
iron t me. It, is a cause in which
by the light of reason and con-
science, a man might well lay
dowu his life, but to my mind,
my present responsibility in-
volves the constitution ot the
effect of my action upon those
whose representative lam. I
have hitherto been willing to
ask you, the Republicans of
South Carolina, to risk all the
danger and endure all the hard-
ships until relief should come
from the government of the
United States. That relief will
never come. I canuot ask you
to follow me further. In my
judgment, I can no longer serve
you, by further resistance to the
impending calamity. With grat-
itude to God for the measure of
endurance with which he lias
hitherto inspired me, with grat-
itude to you for your boundless
confidence in me, with profound
admiration for your matchless
fidelity to the cause in which we
have struggled, I now announce
t° you and to the people of the
State, that 1 shall no longer ac-
tively assert my right to the
office of Governor of South Car-
olina. The motives and pur-
poses of the President of the
United States, in the policy
which compels me to my pres-
ent course, are unquestionable,
honorable and patriotic. I de-
voutly pray that events may in-
dicate the wisdom of his action,
and that peace, freedom and
prosperity may hereafter be the
portion of every citizen of South
Carolina.”

A Western Advertising Agent.
(Burlington Hawk eye.)
We thought, from the way he
came into the office, and slam
med his cane down on the table,
and took the best chair, and spat
on the stove, and said, “Well,
cully, how does the old thing
work that he was a circus
agent; but his card showed him
to be a modest, unpretending
agent of a Wisconsin paper. He
had just come from Chicago, he
said. We said “Ah !”—uot be-
cause there was any particular
original brilliancy in the re-
mark, but because that is what
we generally say, with a using
accent on the final syllable,
when a man tells us be has been
to Chicago. “Yes,” he said, he
had been to Chicago, “Had we
a man up there?” “No, we
hadn’t.” “Well,” he said, “don’t
send one there. Just a waste ef
time. I’ve been there nearly
three weeks, and I just club my-
self every time I think what a
fool I was to throwaway so
much time that I might have put
iu somewhere else to advantage.
“Didn't he do anything in
Chicago ?” we asked, rather
timidly, for we began to see that
we were in the presence of a
master mind.
“Naw-w-w!” he snarled in a
most contemptuous tone; “hard-
ly made expenses; didn’t pay
salary. There three weeks, and
only came away with $3,760
worth of ads. All cash, of
course, and that makes it a little
better, but didn’t pay for all
that time. How much Chicago
advertisements are you carry-
ing now ?”
We couldn’t tell him, indeed,
without consulting the business
manager, but we were confident
that the Hawkeye had, at inside
figures, at least $3 or $4 worth
of live Chicago advertisements.
We began to think what a jewel
this man must be on the busi-
ness staff of a daily paper. “Was
he going to St. Louis?” we
asked.
He burst into a suort of deri-
sive laughter, for all the world
ifke the opposition benches in
Congress,
“Been there,” he said, “and
ain’t going back until times pick
lip a little. Deadest place you
ever struck in your life. Noth-
ing doing. Just nothing. Why
I was there ten days—ten whole
long days—as I’m a truthful
man, and only got—let me see—
I’ll give you the figures”- and
he pulled out his notebook and
ran over the leaves and down
long columns of figures --“yes,
sir, I was in St. Louis tgu days
to an hour, aud only got $4,227,
50, and $1,896.75 I have to take
in trade, and only $2,130 cash in
advance ads. Don’t you send a
man to St. Louis, if you don’t
want to pay liis fare home.”
“Which way was he going
from Burlington?” we asked,
deeply impressed.
“Oh ! out along the line of the
B. and M.,” he said, “out to
Omaha, aud may be out to Lin-
coln^ aud up to Des Moines.”
“Now, don’t go there,” we
begged him; “don’t go out that
way at all. It won’t pay you;
we know this country, and we
know you won’t make a cent on
that trip.”
“Why not ?” he asked defiant-
ly, and iu a rather incredulous
tone of voice.
“Because,” we said, “the
Hawkeye had a mau out all
through that country one day
last week. It may appear in-
credible, but, sir, that mau was
goue fifteen miuutes, and came
back with $72,000 cash ads. a
couple of natioual banks, six
Nebraska farms, a Kansas cattle
rauche, and the Iowa State
treasury, aud the captain dis-
charged him for not making his
wages. It’s as dead a--»
But he was gone, and he heard
him down stairs asking the bus-
iness manager if he thought it
was necessary to import a thor-
oughbred liar to edit bis paper..
The Ex-President Speaks.
Galena, 111., April 10.—R&
spouding to a serenade, Grant
said : “Fellow-citizens of Galena,
I am obliged to you for this
serenade and manifestation of
esteem. All I have to remark,
is that it affords me gratification
to make periodical visits to this
city, and come back to you
again, after sixteen years of offi-
cial life, like yourselves one of
the sovereigns of this great re-
public.”
