SOUTIL CAROLINA. & PRESIDRST. fpecial Ditpateh ta The Tridune, Wasnixgron, D. C., March 10.—A delega- tlon representing the Chamberlain Government in Bonth Carolina called upon the President to- tlay and talked to him foran hour and a half. It was composed of Benator Patterson, Benator- clect Corbin, Collector Worthington, 3ayor Cunningham, and 8heri{f Bowen, of Charleston; Gen. Winsmith, Col. Howe, and Mr. Waterman. ‘The principal spokesman was' Collcctor Worth- ington, who argucd that Chamberlalu was le- gally elected, and fnststed that his recognition by the Presldent was esscntial to the continued existence of the Republican party in the South. At the conclusion of tho speech-making, which was frequently Interrupted by the Prest- dent to ask questions as to the facts concerning the Legistaturs and judidat proccedings grovw- ing out of the eontest, the delegation filed a written statement contalning a history of the nuestion in detafl from a Republican standpoint, The President appeared greatly interested in the subject, but gave the delegation no assuranceof WIIAT 118 COURSE WOULD BE. At theclose of the Interview he said that he would give the matter a full Investization. On this slight cncouragement the delegation cama away with a glowing anticipation of tho speedy recognition of Clhizmberlafn. The Hampton party, represented principally bv M. C. Butler, Judge McKay, and ex-Gov. 8cott, who wateh every movement of their op- ponents, are coufident that the only action the President will take will bo to order the troops 1o cease guarding the Btate-House.and withdraw o thelr barracks, They Inelst that if this is done a solution of the whole fmbrogllo will be reached by judiclal proees: Gov.
