THE HAMPTON AND CHAMBERLAIN
CONFERENCE WITH THE PRESIDENT.
Washington, March 23.
The politicians were taken by sur
prise and scarcely knew what to
think of the invitation to Hampton
and Chamberlain to a conference
with the President and his advisers.
The impatientwho had jumped at
the conclusion that Hampton would
be immediately recognized, or at
least be allowed to enforce his au
thority, assert that it is only an at-
issue, in the hope that something
may occur to shift the responsibility
from the President. It is regarded
as another evidence of weakness of
purpose, but appears to be generally
approved at infinitely better than the
commission plan, and a disposition
to do the fair thing by both claim
ants. There seems to be no doubt
that the outcome will be the success
of Hampton, and that Chamberlain
will be provided for by election to
the Senate or a Government appoint
ment. Hampton's friends will advise him
not to accept the invitation of the
President, as that would be a seeming
admission of the right of Chamber
lain to contest, and of the President
to decide, who is Governor South
Carolina. This question, they claim,
can only be legally determined by the
courts of the State, and they ask of
the President not recognition, but
that he cease to obstruct the opera
lion of the law. The courts are ready
to issue a writ of ejectment under
which Chamberlain's title will be de
termined as soon as the military al
low the process of the courts to be
served. j
General M. C. Butler left for Co
lumbia tonight, bearing the Presi
dents letter to Hampton. General
Gordon thinks Hampton will make a
proud but respectful refusal to accede
to the 1 resident s request.
The Cabinet is still searching for
statesmen who will attack the Louis
iana problem. It is rumored that ex
Governor Palmer has been requested
to act as commissioner, but General
Key paid to-night that he had not
heard of it, and that no acceptance
has been reeeived exceot from Gov
ernor Brown.

The Rev. Mr. Respasa was jwt

he will dilate in

irium-
phant: "Well, we've got
le best

speak truth. - The only pity is that
(in exact numbers) three hundred

girls should go un wedded. There
are only fourteen eligible resident

The cape Fear Fiddle.

Years and years ago, when the
Cape Fear folks made their summer
homes in the up-country towns on the
Haw, Deep and Eno rivers, there was
a ball in H . A negro fiddler from
a Cape Fear plantation, up the coun
try with his master for the summer,
furnished the music. When music
and dance were at their maddest, an
awkward dancer suddenly measured
his length upon the well-waxed floor.
Up rose the fiddler, one quick glance,
a long-drawn sigh of satisfaction, and
then back to his seat and his music,
with the irrepressible exclamation :

Another man Beheaded.
From a letter received from a corres
pondent in South Carolina, by yesterday
evening's train, we learn that tbe body of
an unknown man. was discovered on the
side of the road f romBishopville, in Sumter
county, te old Lynchburg, yesterday morn
ing, about 7 o'clock, with bis head entirely
severed from his body. Deceased was ap
parently about 30 or 35 years of agev com
monly dressed in jeans pants, old cassimere
coat, gray colored vest, checked shirt,
brown hat with the inside turned out, com
mon boots, pretty well worn, with country
knit socks (wool), and with a double
barrelled shot gua lying at bis side, bearing
the inscription, on a silver plate, " I. Mc
Elvane." The supposition now is that he
was walking on the railroad track, when he
concluded to sit down and rest, taking off
his boots and coat; that he fell asleep on
the track and the 12 o'clock train came
along, running over him and killing him
instantly. Our informant states that the
body presented a most horrible appearance.
A Fowl Proceeding.
Thieves made a raid on the hen house of
Capt. Alex. May, who resides on Market
street, in the neighborhood of where the
toll house was formerly located, a night or
two since, and succeeded in carrying off
seventeen head of poultiy, including a
number' of fine hens. Tbe dog, which is
usually turned loose at night, happened to
be shut up in the bouse on the evening in
question, and his efforts to get out aroused
Capt. M., who opened the door, when the
animal immediately dashed off in tbe di
rection of the chicken coop. Capt May
followed and found that a plank bad been
ripped off the rear of the coop and the
chickens taken out, the thief having prob
ably just left. But for the interference of
the dog it fs likely that all the poultry in
the coop would have been carried off.
Almost Fire.
Yesterday morning, between 9 and 10
o'clock, the roof of a house on Chesnut, be
tween Eighth and Ninth streets, occupied
by Mr. Hugh McDonald, caught fire and
the building narrowly escaped destruction.
The fire was first discovered by a lady re
siding on the opposite side of the street,
who notified tbe neighbors. Mr. Richard
FitzgeraW, who Hyes near by, and who was.
the first on the premises, had a ladder
brought from his yard and two men, John
E. Taylor and Wm. Pessong, mounted the
roof, where water was passed to them by
persons below, and they soon succeeded in
extinguishing the flames, but not until
shingles had been torn from the roof for
about the space of three feet square. The
fire originated from a spark from the chim
ney. There was no general alarm.
m .. j h ry to !ITt Property.
We regret to see a disposition on the part
of certain persons unknown to mark, cut
and otherwise damage the walls and fences
surrounding the premises of many of our
citizens, and in this connection we notice a
number of brick taken from a wall at the
corner of Fourth and Chesnut streets,
which the owner had just been to the ex
pense of placing in thorough repair; also
that pocket knives have already been used
pretty extensively on a beautiful fence re
cently erected on Third street. Some meas
ures should be taken by the authorities to
protect private property from such wanton
injury and defacement.
