FKOEL WWPWSST9H. The Pledg " and by Wfeem They Were fflade. Special Dispatch' to the Baltimore Bub. Washington, March 26. It was mentioned in these dis-. patches on Friday night last that the Drool would be forthcomings, the; prober titnte toowhaUra4Swaneru fit members ot uongress who prerenicw tbe defeat ot the electoral couni uau insurances from those who were au thorized to speak for Mr. Hayes, that he would, on attaining to the Presi dency, give'to the Sodth the same rights of local self-government as were exercised Dy me xoriu. iub following gives a statement of all the J (Mmnmstances connected wun tnis. affair, and may be relied upon as tho roughly accurate, as it is obtained from sources which cannot be ques tioned. During the progress of the electo ral count, and after tne jweciorai Commission had, by its grossly un- fair and partisan rulings,, made appa rent its deliberate intention to give all the disputed States to Hayes and Wheeler, Senator Gordon wentiver to the House Hall and had an inter view with Representative Foster. Gen. Gordon said to Mr: 3ogZ&f that while he felt no responsibility for the :iotion of the House, yet he should in- sist upon it that the South should have guarantees that their State go- vernments should not be interfered! with; that they had contended for the past ten years for this right, and that if such pledges were not given j he (Gordon) would go into the House I mul urge upon his Southern friends to assist in preventing the further progress of the count. Senator Gordon repeated that he was not responsible for what . the House did, but he would cer tainly favor filibustering if there were no guarantees that the bayonet rule of the past eight years was to be no supplies, but bitter political de abolished. Mr. Foster replied that I bates are likely to ensue, which may all tue necessary pledges would be given," arid that President llayes would certainly do' what was right and proper towards the South. Mr. Foster also showed to Gen. Gordon a letter which he had received from President' Hayes after the speech made by him in the House oi Repre- sentatives oil the 20th of February. In that speech Mr. Foster said when speech Governor Hayes attained to the Pre sidency he would be the President of the whole people, arid under his ad ministration the flag should float over States, not provinces, and that the people of die South should be permitted to exercise the same rights of local self-government as the peo ple of the North.

Gordon and to John Yonncr Brown, of Kentucky, who Was pre sent at the interview. In this letter, bearing date of Fefcrnary 27; 1877, Mr. Foster says; "iTeel authorized to guarantee that the people of South Carolina and Louisiana will be allowed to admin ister their governments without any interference oh the part of President Hayes, should be be inaugurated," and also "that there will be no fur ther interference in State govern ments by troopa unless to preserve the peace according to law." Mr. Stardev (Matthews also wrnt a letter addressirnHw-iTrrbrdon in which he said, "that knowing Hayes' yiews and purposes intimately, he felt satisfied that the Southern States would be permitted to conduct their local affairs ictaeir own wavy with out interference from Hayes or the government t Washington." It is understood that in addition to these written pledges, Gen. Garfield verbally made promises of a Btibstan yally similar character. Senators bayard and Johngton, upon the l ength of these pledges, urged upon Southern members to withdraw al opposition and let the count go HE VOL. XX.--NO. 5. on. Lamar, John Young Brown and I others worked night and day to dis arm opposition to the count, and the result was that Hayes was declared elected. In addition to what was said by Messrs. Matthews, Foster and others, there seems no doubt that Gen. Sher man, during the filibustering on the electoral connt, was active in inti mating to the Southern raerabereffhat Mr. Hayes, when he became Presi dent, would treat them just as the States of the North were treated. All of the circumstances above nar rated were brought to the attention 0f the President tfris evening, and he denied with some feeling that he had by knowledge of such pledges, or Tthat any one was authorized to make mem ior mm. lecnmcauv mere is no nnestion that, t.ha "Proalrfont. ia nor feoy iiorrect in his friends who 1 7. . . T" this statement, spoke for Kim for did not assume to say in so many words r that he authorized them to speak as lhy did. Notwithstanding this, however, there will be few who will say that the Southern members were not justified, under all the circum stances, in accepting as authorita tive the pledges which were made to mem. several or tne members ot the Cabinet were spoken to on the subject to-night. Secretary Mc Crary said he knew nothing of such a compact, and is satisfied it was un authorized. Secretary Sherman says he made no pledges for Hayes, but that he gave guarantees that so far as he was individually Concerned the South would be treated fairly,-and says the President is doing his ut most in this direction. In regard to this statement of secretary Sherman is also technically correct, but I nave personal Knowledge tnat oecre- tary Sherman, with bis brother, the breneral, had several interviews with Southern Senators in which be took the same ground as did Messrs. Mat thews and Foster, and while he did not say so, the distinct understand- ing an around was tnat be was re fleeting the views of Mr. Hayes THE EXTRA SESSION AND THE ARMY BILL. A disposition exists among both the Democratic and Republican mem bers of Congress to make the extra session as brief as possible. To this end it is extremely likely that the ap pointment of committees, with the possible exception of the committee on Appropriations, will be postponed until the December session. If no committees are announced no legisla tion can be entered upon but by unanimous consent. Membera say that they permitted the army bill to fail at the last session because the army was then used to sustain the fraudulent Packard and Chamberlain governments, and that it is useless for the President to calf them here iu the expectation that they will vote the public money if it is to be continued in its present dis- graceful, illegal and degrading occu- pauou. luereiore, wueu congress meets, if it finds the army confined to its legitimate employment, and the people of South Carolina and Loui siana in peaceful and undisturbed possession of their own governments, the army bill will be passed. If the contrary is the case the army will get nrolone the session tor several weeks. Special to Richmond Dispatch.!

Another Revenue Outrage Statesville Landmark Mr. Page, who has recently moved to this county from Caswell, was stopped on the road near Third Creek Church, in Kowan county, last week, by a white man, who claimed to be a revenue officer, and a negro. The negro presented a pistol at Mr. Page, and held it on him while the white man searched the wagon. Mr. Page was hauling a barrel ot nour, some flower pots and a few household goods.

"HAIL TO THE CHIEF." Governor Hampton En-Route fr Washington-He will be Received at tne Depot Col. Waddell to Deliver the Reception Address Honor to tne Soldier, Statesman and! Patriot. A telegram having been received here to the effect that Governor Wade Hampton, Attorney-General Conner aad Senator M. C. Butler would pass through our city this morning, on their way to Washington, where Governor Hampton has been invited for the purpose of having a consultation with President Hayes, arrangements were immediately made by a number of out most prominent and leading citizens to give him a befitting reception at the depot, where be will be under the necessity of stopping for a short time in order to change cars. Governor Hampton and party will arrive on the 8:30 train f rem the South, and we hope that our citizens may turn out en masse to greet them. The Cornet Concert Club will take up the line of march in front of the Purcell House at 8 o'clock, and repair to the depot, where, upon the arrival of the train, Hon. A. M. WaddeU, in behalf of the citizens of Wilmington, will deliver a abort address of welcome and God speed to the peerless Hampfon and to his distinguished compan ions from the Palmetto State. Destructive Fire on)Topsatl Yesterday moraing, about half past one ! o'clock, the grist mill, with adjoining build ings, machinery, &c, including a peanut picker and stemmer, the property of Mr. C. B. Futcb. near Scott's Hill, on Topsail Sound, about ten milesa below this city, were destroyed by fire. The buildings were located on grounds belonging to the old Futch homestead, where Capt. E. L. Pearce now resides. Capt. P. was aroused by the shouts of one of the colored laborers, and, upon going to the window, he found that the roofs of the buildings were falling in, and the property so nearly destroyed that nothing could be done to save the houses or their contents. Mr. Futch resides about one mile and a half from the homestead, and Capt. Pearce did not deem it necessary to notify him of his loss until after day light, and hence he was not aware of the disaster until his arrival on the ground early in the morning. The buildings contained about two hun dred bushels of fancy peanuts and from seven hundred to eight hundred bushels of a second class article. Mr. Futch estimates his loss on buildings, machinery and stock at about $2,500. He had an insurance of $500 on buildings and machinery in the Farmville, of Virginia, represented by Maj. J. A. Byrne, and $500 on peanuts ia the Pamlico Insurance and Banking Company, of JTarboro', represented by Messrs. J. W. Gordon & Bro. There is no certainty as to the origination of the fire. A barefooted track was found leading to and from the scene of the con flagration, and this would suggest the idea that it might have been the work of an in cendiary. It is possible, however, Mr. Futch thinks, that fire may have been acci dentally dropped in the building by one who went there after peanuts. Feats of Marksmanship. Referring to an article which appeared in the Stab of the 21st, clipped from the Ra leigh Observer, relative to feats of marks manship in deer shooting, a gentleman of Whitehall. Bladen county, gives us a few instances coming under his own observa tion of somewhat remarkable feats in that line. Our correspondent says he knew man by the name of Archibald Carrie, who lived near the Cape Fear river and within two miles of Whitehall, who killed two deer at one nre with a shot-gun. Tbey ran up near him and stopped, when he fired and dropped both ia their tracks. Annthwr gentleman, by the name of Archibald Buie, who lived about eight miles from the Cape Fear river, and not very far from Whitehall, also shot and killed two deer at one fire with an ordinary squirrel rifle. The facts connected with this somewhat remark able display of skill lend interest to the feat. Our correspondent accompanied Mr. Buie on this hunting expedition, it being intended as a sort of celebration of the old gentleman's 77th birthday. Mr. B. took his stand, while our friend and one of Mr. B.'s sons, with the dogs, took upon them selves the duty of driving the deer. The dogs started two fine ones, and they ran to a point within the distance of 77 feet from the venerable marksman and suddenly halt ed, when he fired upon them and both dropped in their tracks. As we remarked, Mr. Buie was 77 years old on that day and the deer were 77 steps distant, by actual measurement, when he discharged his rifle and brought them both to the around. Our friend says he himself shot and killed two squirrels up one tree at one fire, using a small snot gun, and at another time be killed two partridges at one fire with a small rifle, at a distance of seventy-five yards. He also mentions the fact that three hounds of bis attacked aad killed one of the largest wildcats ever Seen TaoaT part of the coun try. In hunting exploits North Carolina can compare favorably with Texas or apy other State, . military matters.
