THE PRESIDENT'S INSTRUCTIONS. The following ia the president's letter Iof instruction to the Louisiana commislsion: 1 EXECUTIVE OFFICE,!

WASHINGTON, April 3.

To Hon. Charles Lawrence, Jostph R. IJawley, John M. llarlan, John C. lirown and Wayne MaeVeiqh' Commwionera,

GENTLEMEN: I am instructed by the president to lay before you some observations upon the occasion and objeots which hare led him to invite you as members of the comwiPt'ion about to visit the tate of Louisiana, to undertake ahis public tervice. Upcn assumting his office the president found the situaiion of affairs in Louisiana such as to justly demand his prompt and solicitous attention. For thu situation prefents, as one of its features, the apparent intervention of the military power of the United States in the domestic controversies which undoubtedly divide the opinions and disturb the harmony of the people of that state. This intervention, arising during the term, and by the authority of his predecessor, throws no present duty upon the president, except to examine and determine the real extent, form aiid effect to which such intervention actually exists, and to debide as to the time, man ner and conditions which should be observed in putting an end to it. It is in aid of his intelligent and prompt discharge of this duty that the president has sought the services of this commission, to supply by meinBof its examination, conducted in the state of Louisrana, some information that mav be pertinent to the circumspection and security of any measures he may resolve upon. It will be readially understood that the service desired of and entrusted to this commission does not include any examination into, or report upon, the facts of the recent state election, or of the canvass of the vote? cast ai that election. So for as attention to that subjaot may be necessary, the president cannot but feel that the reports of the committees of the two houses of congress, and other public information at hand, will jdi«pense with, and should preclude any original exploration by the commitsion of that field of inquiry. Bin it is most pertinent and important in coming to a decision upon the precise question of the executive duty before him that the president should know what are the real impediments to regular, legal and peaceful proceedureB under the laws and constitution of the state of Louisiana, by which, the anomalies in the

put in the course of settlement, without involving the element of military power, as either an agent or a make weight in such solution. The successful ascertainment of these impediments, the president would confidently expect, would indicate to the people of that state the wisdom a»d mode of their removal. The unusual circumstances which attended and followed the state election and canvups, from its relation to the excited feelings and interests of a presidential election, may have retarded, within the state of Louisiana, the persuasive influences by w^ich the great social and material' interests, common to the whole people of the state, and the pride of the American character as a law-abiding nation ameliorate and disappointments and dissolve the^ resentments of close and aenlous political contests, but the president both hopes and believes that the great body of the pennW Louisiana are now prepr.n .1 ire&t the unsettled erutts of state eleetion with talm and conciliatory spirit. If it be oo mucn to expect a complete concurrence in a single government for that state, at least, the president may anticipate a submission to the peacefel resource* of the laws and constitution of the state of all their dissensions, at once relieving themselves from reproach and their fellow-citizens of the United States from the anxieties which must ever attend a prolonged dispute as to the title and administration of the government of one of the states of the union. The president therefore desires that you should devote your first and principal attention to a removal of the obstacles to an acknowledgment of one government for the purpose of an exercise of authority within the state, and of a representation of the state in its relations to the general government, under section 4 of article 4 of

the

constitution of the United S.atea leaving, if necessary, to judicial or other constitutional appomtiuent within the state the question of ultimate right, li these obstacles should prove insuperable from whatever reasons, and the hope of a single government in all its departments be disappointed,it should be your next endeavor to accomplish the recognition of a single legislature, as a depository of the representative will of the people of Louisiana. This great department rescued from dispute, the rest of the problem could gradually be worked out «by the prevalent authority, which the legislative power, when undisputed, is quite competent to exert, in composing conflicts in co-ordinate branches of government. An attentive consideration of the conditions under which the federal constitution and acts of congress provide or permit military intervention by the precedent in the protection of a state against domestic violence, has eatitfiea the president that the use of this authority

in determining or influencing disputed elections in a state is most carefully to be avoided. Undoubtedly, as wa* held by thesupreme conrt in the case of Luther versus Borden, the appeal from a state may involve such an inquiry as to the lawfulness of the authority which invokes the interference of the president in supposed pursuance of the constitution but it is equally true that neither the constitutional provision^ nor the acts of congress were framed with any such design. But obviously treated a case of domestic violence within a state, as of an outbreak against law and the authority of established government which the state was unable to suppress by its own strength. A case wherein every department of the state government hks a disputed ^presentation, and the state, therefore, furnishes to the federal government no internal political recognition of authority upon which the federal executive can rely, will present a case of so much difficulty that it is of pressing importance to all the interests in Louisiana that it should be avoided. A single legislature would greatly relieve this difficulty for that department of the state government ia named by the constitution as a necessary applicant, when it can be convened, for military intervention by the United States. If therefore, the disputing interests can concur in, or be reduced to a single legislature for the state of Louisiana, it would be a great step in composing this unhappy strife The president leaves entirely to the commission the conciliatory influences which in their judgment, formed on the spot, may seem to them to conduce to the proposed end. His own determination, that only public considerations should inspire and attend this effort to §ive ascendency in Louisiana to things that belognto peace, is evinced by his selection of commissioners who offer to the country, in their own character, every guarantee. of the public motives and methods of the transaction which they have undertaken. You report of the result of this endeavor will satisfy the president. He does not doubt of the wisdom of his selection. and his plenary truet in the commission. A econd. and less important subject ofs altertion during the visit to New Orleans, will be the collection of accurate and trustworthy information from the public officers and prominent citizens of all political connections, as to the state of pnblic feeling and opinions in the community at large upon the general questions which effect the peaceful and safe exercise iu the state of Louisian of all legal and political privliges conferred by the constitution of the United States upon all citizens^ The maintenance and protection of tho.*e rights and privileges, by all constitutional means, and by every just nioral and social influence, are the settled purpooe of the president in his administration of the government. He will hope to learn from your investigations that ihis purpose will be aided, ana not resinted by pubstantiul and effective public opinion of the great body of the people if Louisiana. The president does not wish to imro?e ny limit upon your stay in Louisiana that would tend to limit the full object? of your visit. He if, however, extremely desirous to find it in hii power, at the earliest day capatible with a fcafe exercise of that authority, to put an end to even the appearance of military intfrrention in the domestic affairs of Louisiana, and

heawHit*

there present may

your return with the confident

hope that your report will enable him promptly to execute a purp6.se hn haa so much at heart. The president desires me to add that the publication cf theresnlts of your visit he i-h'all hope to make immediately after their communication to him. Your obedient servant,

WM. M. EVABTS.

MORE CORRESPONDENCE.

The following is the lfetter of Governor Hampton to the president: WILLIARD'S HOTEL, WASHINGTON, D. C., March 31,1876. To the President:

SIR: The result of the conference, to which you did me the honor to invite me, has been to leave on my mind the conviction that yon sincerely desire to see a peaceful and a just settlement of the question which is distracting on the people and injuring seriously the material interests of our state, and I trust you are equally convinced of my earnest wish to aid in accomplishing this happy end. As I mav not have the pleasure of seeing you again on this subject, it may be proper to put before you, in the fullest and most definite form, the assurances given you verbally. I repert, therefore, that, if the federal troopB are withdrawn from the state house, there shall, be, on my part, or that of my friends, no resort to violence to assert our claims, but that we shall look for their maintenance solely to such peacefnl remedies as the constitution and laws of the state provide. I shall use all my authority to repress the use or exhibition of force in the settlement of allthe disputed questions, and this authority shall be exercised in such a manner that peace shall be preserved. We only desire the establishment in our own state of a government which will secure to every citizen, the lowest as well as the highest) black as well as white, full and equal protection in the enjoyment of all his rights under the constitution of the United States. No one can be more deeply impressed than myseli with the imperative necessity of establishing cordial relation tJeHSawv.ftlLclas.^es and both races in South CaroIiB^wfej^t is only by these means that the true and enduring welfare of the state can be sesecured. With recognition of the perfect equality of every citizen before the law .with a just and impartial administration of the laws with practical and secure exercise of the right of suffrage with a system of public education which will open the sources of knowledge to all classes, we may hope to see our state soon take a position to which she is entitled. It was the patriotic idea to aid in the accomplishment of these high aims that called me from my retirement to become a candidate for governor of South Carolina. It was through the confidence of the people of that state that I would honestly and faithfully carry out all these purposes, that I was elected

mifcA.

their 6hief magistrate, and I feel profoundly that peace can be surely preserved there, and prosperity restored, by assuring our people that the right of local self-government, so prominentlv brought forward in your inaugural, and so ivor* ably received by the whole country, fo be promptly carried oiu a« the rule of your administration. I anticipate the ready fulfillment of the jn*t and reasonable hopes inspired' by1 announcement of policy you have infolded a policy -vhich fiund a responsive echo in every patriotic heart, indicating a purpose to administer the government in the true spirit of the constitution. In conclusion, permit me to assure you that I feel the strongest confidence that the wise and patriotic policy announced in your inaugural, as soon as it takes shape in action, will produce such results that the whole country will enjoy the blessings of peace, prosperity and harmony. Thanking you, sir, for the courtesy yon have extended to me, and with my good wishes,

I am, very respectfully, yonr obedient servant, WADE HAMPTON,

Governor of South Carolina. THAT QUO WARRANTO.

APPOINTMENTS.

The following postmasters were appointed to-day: Monmouth H.Gauougat Fort Atkinson, wU Wm. H. Denny, Vincennes, Ind. Daniel Sinclair, Winona, Minn. Geo. J. Krebs, Fremont, Ohio.

ONE VIEW OF THE QUESTION.

TRAMP

The following extract from Dr. Holland's "Nicholas Minturn" (Scribnerfor April) contains the experience of many a New Yorker. It ia Grezen who speaks: "When I came to the city," he said, "I was fnll of a sort of chicken-hearted benevolence. A woman or a child could not extend a hand to me on the street without taking out of my pocket whatever I might happen to have there. I com forted myself over the loss of many a good cigar with the thought that I had helped somebody to bread, when I only helped them to beer and did my share toward making them worse and more incurable beggars than they were before. They soon found me out in my office, where they managed, by the most ingeriious lying, to cheat me out of my hardearned dollars. I became at last tore with my sense of imposition, and tore with my sacrifices, and I've not recover ed yet. I can look a beggar in the face now without winking, and when a deadbeat presents himself in my office, I have only to glance at my boot and point to the door, and he understands me, and retires without a word." "But you can't afford to be distrustful and hard-hearted like that, you know," said Nichols in a tone of expostulation "A man can't afford to shut himself up like that, and l6ok upon every necJy fellow as a scamp." "You can't afford it, perhaps I can and there, by the way, lies the trouble in the case. Rich people, surrounded by their comfoits, try to make themselves more comfortable in their minds by sharing a portion of their wealth with the poor. Their dinners taste better after having fed a beggar. Their nice clothes feel better after they have given an old garment to a dead beat, who straightway pawns it for rum. Society can not afford to have the vice of pauperism nourished for the small compensation of gratifying, the benevolent impulses of the rich. Does pauperism grow less witn their giving Is it not becoming, with every benevolent effort, a great overshadowing curse Pauperism grows by what it feeds on and it feeds on the benevolence of the lich, and on benevolence which, like some of our Christianity, is fashionable.

TWEED.

FURTHER FACTS

New York, April 3.—Great efforts to prevent the consummation of the attempt of the release of Tweed, are being made, by men still in Legislature and the courts said to be most involved by the expected disclosures of the Tweed charter. Among the documents in the hands of Harper & Bros., for future publication is said to be evidence that $250,000 was divided among five Republican Legislators to secure the passage of this charter. The suppression of this evidence, it is understood, will depend upon the alacrity with which those who receiv edit repay it to the State.

London, April 3—The Times remarks lack of elation in public feeling at signative of protocol and weighing various influences which might incline Russia to peace or war, can only be carried on at an immense saciifice and that there with anything to lose know this and permit their zeal to cool accordingly .All intelligence from St. Petersburg and chief cities empire confirms this opinion but at the same time accounts of Russian war preparations are too numerous and consi stant to be frictitious.

I have stood up too long to shield others as well as myself, bearing such losses and punishment as were meted out to my tranrgressions and my misfortunes.

It is not jmy purpose to dispute or appeal or further resist the suits which you have against me in the name of the state and people. I propose forthwith to place at your, disposal ,.V 1 A wVUt SURRENDER of all I have left of property and effects, and respond at once to such examination in this connection a8 may assure you and the public of the good faith of this assignment, as well as to show the entire amount and disposition of all I have possessed, so far as you may wish it to be detailed. I am an old man, greatly broken in health, cast down in spirit, and can no longer bear my burden. To mitigate the prospects of a hopeless imprisonment, which must speedily terminate my life, I should, it seems to me, make any sacrifice or effort. During the earlv stages of the suits and proceedings against me, I was ready to make restoration as far as in my power. Entanglement with the interest and

I regret thaC my means have now tteoouM so utterly inadequate, would pot make the futile ofler it had nit somti assurance through your publisbethkiittementB, that the vindication of principle, and the prospect of permanently purifying the public service are the objects yeu have in view, as being more desirable than the recovery of money.

to make only a single observation, not a reg trdt myself,but wherever others may be concerned, leaving my personal and property iritercts to be put to the fullect test ofjexaniination and publicity, I would hope to have anv matters affecting other persons restricted to your private knowedge and discretion. Knowing, as you do, every material fact alreadyjit would be unavailing for me further to resist or withhold any details you may demand.

Washington, April 3.—In making ap point meat* the President has adopted'a jjeneral rule that where an officer has served for four years in a satisfactory manner, the character of his officiaf services will stand as a recommendation for re-appointment, unless there be well SUBtained objections to the personal or moral character of the incumbent. Where, however, an officer has served for eight consecutive years Jhis period of service will operate against his reappointment, the President holding to the opinion that eight'years is the maximum lerrrt which a man should be retained in public service, provided an equally competent and meritorious person is ah applicant for the place. This rule is to be specially applied to the appointment of postmasters whose salaries exceed one thousand dollars per annum, and who are commissioned by the President. The rule will not be applied with the same rigor to post masters whose salaries. ire below one thousand dollars per aiinum, and who are appointed, under the law, by thfe Postmaster-General, as fo those postmasters who are commissioned by the President. There are about 1,600 postmasters who are required by the law to be commissioned by the President, and over 38,000 who are appointed by the Poat master-General. 4$ J,

HAMPTON L»REPARINO AN ADDRESS, Hampton intended to leave for home this morning, but after reading the letter of Chamberlain he remained over for. the purpose of preparing an address to the "country in reply. He outlined this reply, which was to be a ccuiplete denial of. all the allegations made by Chamberlain, and had commenced its preparation when a number of his friends called and strongr ly advised against this course. In deference to their wishes he has delayed it— not entirely abandoned it. He may, however,upon reaching Columbia,publish a general denial of the charges made by Chamberlain as to his intentions should he be declared Governor. 'Hampton is considerably exercised by the tope 01 Chamberlain's letter, and seems anxious to impress everyone with the idea thai he intends to do exact justice to all par' ties and all classes when he shalL come into full possession of the State government. He will leave for home at an early hour to-morrow morning, stopping at Charlottsville, Viginia, to visit some relatives. He is to be lionized at several pointsalong the route,and ChadoJte, N.C. will be met by a delegation of citizens of South Carolina, who wilL escort him to Columbia. He scouts the idea that he will need or attempt force to obtain possession of the Slate government. He says there will be 00 trouble, and that the courts furnish ample- meaaa for the maintenance of the rights of *11 parties. He seems anxious toiimpress upon the country that he in tends to deal fairly with the colored people. He talks freely about the results of his visit to Washington^ and seems much pleased .with the President and his position upon the Southern question. He declines to express an opinion as to what effect the President's policy will have upon the Democratic party in the South, but intimates that it is likely to strengthen the President's administration very .materially in that sec lion. jfMFfcsf* v'iWH

A LIVELY DESCENT.

Visit to coal mines have often been described, but we have not met with a more graphic picture of a descent down the shaft, than the following given by

Just then it skinped by again, going so. last that nooody could have guessed what it was. And as fast as one cage went upone side loaded, its mate went down on. the other side empty. "Go down as (as't as that the superintendent continued. "Oh, yes theres no danger. The. shaft is 900 teet deep and we go down sometimes in fifteen seconds sometimes, when we're in no hurry, we take thirty seconds, sometimes twenty. The engineer always, knows, when to stop it, ancLthe only danger would be at the top and bottom."

Your correspondent suggested that he wasn't in a huery, and he would just drop. down the shaft. "Oh, there isn'.t a particle ot danger,' replied the suoerintendent. "The men, go down this way every morning,, nd.' come back,every night, and accidentsare very rarc.n

The miner came out with our lampready lighted—little tin cans, with a. spout on one side, and a handle a foot long on the other. The cage stopped at. our level with a jprk and we stepped on. It 'was a little platform, abont six feet one way, and four the other, with a roof,,and fitted into the shaft so nicely that a mir-, ,, ble could hardly roll through. 4

While the miner was putting our lampsin order, something in front of us kept flitting up and down, up on one side of the black shaft, down on the other, going so fast both up and down that it was .impossible to see what it was.
