C., March 31.—There has been great excitement in the South Carolina matter the entirc day. About 10 o'clock this morning Hampton, with Gen. M. C. Butler and his Attorney-General, met to consider the prop- osition of Gov. Chamberlain relative to the re- construction and reorganization of the South Carolina Legislature. Hampton decided not to accept any such proposition, and sent word to the President that be would inform the latter by2o'clock in writing s to his conclusivus. Mcauwhile Hawmpton prepared a letter, which was submitted to the President later in the day. The letter announced in substance that every citizen of South Carolina shall be protected in thelr cvil and religious liberty, irrespective of race, color, previous condition, or politics. Ho declares that the Government of the State docs and will stand by the Constitution of the United States ‘as it now exists. The letter MAKES NO PLEDGES. Tt is simply a reiteration of the sentiments and expressions of Gov. Hampton msde dc-ing his interview with the President, exceps that it is uow put in writinz. Later in the aay Chamber- lain withdrew one proposition, and submitted the following to the President and Hampton: The Republicans of South Caroiina are actuated now, asat all times heretofore, by;an earnest desire to adjust all nolincel déifferences as to the lawful Government in that State upon a basis of justice and rizht.

(Signed), Joirx J . PATTERSON, Daxtrr H. Cisararguars, DavinT. Corzix. This proposition lfke the other, it is stated, UAMPTON REJECTS. He stands firm on his request that the troops be withdrawn from the State, and that the further determination of the issue vetween Hampton and Coamberlain shall be made by the State courts. Meuanwhile, the Cavinet™ convened. The entire Soutis Carolina question was again 1eviewea at length, and the report of the specul Cabinet Committec—schurz — and Lvarts—made and discussed. The evening papers announced, and it was generally tele- grapbed throuznout the country, that as a reeult of the confurence of the Cabinet it was decidea that the Unite:l States troops should be witudrawn from the State-Ilouse at - Columbia, but not irom the State of South Carolina; that ey will be oruered to remain in the Statc as a guarantee that botd the vil and political rights of citizens will be maintained; that a_copy of thus decision had been sent to Gov. Hampton aud the Hon. D. I Chanberla'n. This state- ment is, however, incoricers The Cab.net TOOK NO PORMAL ACTION upon the matter. A technical vote has not yet been cast, but, {rom etateny nts which the Presi- dent has made since tbe Cabinet meetiug, it is ceriain that the decision of the Cabinet and tne President will be that the troops are to be with- drawn from the Columbia _State-House. There can be no doubt that the Presideut has made up his mind to this, and that all that re- mains of the settlement o1 the South Carolina quostion, so far as the withdrawal of the troops 15 concerned, is the lormal decision to that effect by the Cabinet, and the order from the War De- partumnent fur their withdrawal. ORDER OF REMOVAL. The President’s decislon to remove the troops from the South Carolina State-House was made after the adjournment ot the Cabinet to-day. ‘The President said that from the discussion in the Cabinet it was certain that when the sub- ject was formally presented to them for a vote the decision would be in favor of the removal, and that he had therefore decided to settle the whole subject by ordenng the troops removed finmediately- from the State-House, although not from the State. This decision: will be pre- gented to the Cabinet on Mouday, and, of course, immediately rutified. ‘Tbe order for.the Yemoval of the troops will doubtless be 1o warded to Columbix Mondar wmorning. Th decision of the idenr will- doubtless be quite acceptabie to Secretaries Sherman and MeCrary, who, it scems, had not fully made up their minds upon the subject. The other five meibers of tue Cabinet—Erarts, Schurz, De- vens, Key, and Thompson—bad indicated their {ntentious of voting tor the removal. . It seemns probable now tiat thid orcer will ba issued on ‘Tuesdav. So far ascan be ascertained to-might, the ontv conditions which have becn vbtained meut preseuted to the President this afternoon, conta:ng the guarantee above indicated. Chamberlain, Coroin, Patterson, and all the South Carolina Republicans, are VERY MUCH DIsFIRITED, and, while they do not admit tuat -eir case is entirely hopeless, they do say that, from what 1 now of the fntentions of the Cal'inet, the Republican party in South Caroliuz must cons:dered dead. Kellozg, of Louisianu, two, this evening, when asked as to the efiect of the Commission to go there re- plied that {t would settie one thing. It wouid destroy the Republican _party, and be predicted that next fail Olio would give the Democratic State ticket 10,000 majority. Gen. M. C. ;Butler, of the Hampten party, speaking as to HAMPTON’S PROBABLE COURSE with respect to Chamberlain, says if theLegisla- ture sces fit to make Chamterlain Chief Justice of the State, or to elect him to the Seate, he will not attempt to oppose such action. Nesther will he attempt to influence them .in _such a_course. The Constitution of the State, which was approved by Coneress, givesto tne Executive and the Legislature certain exclusive rights, powers, and duties, and he will under 1o circumstances try to abridge those of the Legislaturc or permit the Legislature to inter- tére with nis own. Gen. Butler, for himself, declares that be has no intention of surrender- ing s claim to a seat In the Senate in favor of Cliamberiain, even to accomplish the ardently sought bome-rule in the State. HAMPTON DECLINED THE SERENADE offered to him this cvening, for the reason that he thopeht that uis -specch would be liable to misconstruction. Ie dines this evening with Montgomery Blair. 5 : HAMPTON, and Senator Gordon called on Alexander . Stephens to-day, and discussed the Svuth Caro- lina question. Hampton leaves Monday. He cxpresscs the belief that the Cabinet arc determined to with- draw the troops from the State-House as soon as he shall arrive in Columbia, probably Tuesday. LOUISIANA. THE COMMISSION.

It will not be a rule or a diree- tion to the Commission, but simply a series of suggestions. The main purport of it has already been outlined in thesc dispatches. It is that the chiet effort of the Commission shatl be to make a2 adjustment of the Legislature, which shall make a recanvass of the votes for Gover- nor.

New ORLEANS, Jarcu 3i.—Freporations are being made Lor the recention_of -the Commis- sion by the friends of both Gov. Packard and Gen. Nicholis. Tt is proposed on the part of the latter to make as imposing a_military dis- play as the White League can furnish and a public meeting. The Republicans, also believ- ing it will be less likely to create riot after the arrival ot the Cummission, iutend bold- ing an iinmense opeo-wir mecting to express slfegiauce to Gov. Packard.

Brown, of Ten- nessce, in an interview states that he only ac- cepted'n position on the Cotnmission to Louisi- anaaiter frequent solicitations and urgent ad- vice of leading Democrats in Washington and New Orleans. Il hopes the Commission may be able to forward the President’s policy of pacification, butcan_see no teasible vlan for doing so now. He thinks a way may be tound clear when the Commission reaches Louisizna and takes in the situatwn. He will heartily co-operate in dolng what the President desires in the Interest of establishing rightful govern- ment. VARIOUS. MATTHEWS. Spectal Disatch to The T-idune. 3 TWASHINGTON, D. C., March 8L.—3tanley Mat- thews arrived bere last week. To a venerable politician who catechised him he said that thero +as no more political paper outstanding with his signature, and he was glad of it. To this answer the elder politiclan replied that it was quite time that Matthews began to study politics; that he was a good lawyer, but he wrote too many let- tersfor a good politician, and forgot thelr cou- tents. THE TREASURY PRAUDS. The Goveroment 1s still continuiog the inves- tigat:on into the Treasury frauds. Tue examin- ation of the Sulicitor of the Treasury has shown that some of the prominent persons implicated are not responsible for the forgeries, but there is no doubt tnat there is sometuing very crooked about tbe transactions. Overdue interest on registered mail United States bouds has been collected from the Treasury uvon forged vowers of attorney. The United Btates Commissioner is conducting the pri- vate ecxamination duily. The principal partles implicated thus far are a Treasury Clerk named Donrlass, now under arrest, who bas been trying to clear himself by inculpating his superiors; a New York lawyer nawed Jenkins, s New York broker named Willlams, and a Treasury Cierk named Junes, who seems to have been very carcless.

Foll Caufrmation of the Columbus Horror, wilh Further Details, Special Dispatch to The Tridune. CoLossus, 0., March 31.—In order to better satisfy the readers of Triz TRIDUNE io regard 1o the facts telegraphied "ust night in relation to the business in which Snyder was eneaged, viz.: that of buymng dead bodies from the colleges and body-snatchers, THE TRIBUNE correspond- cnt visited the scenc this afternoon, and gath- ered a few particulars not telegraphed last night. The special sent you then is substantial- 1y correct fo all its general features. Arriving {n the vicinity, it was deemed ad- visable to first see some of the farmers in the neighborhood, and learn from them what the fecling of the community was, and if there wag any reason to doubt the facts as before report- ed. Mr. Miller, a well-to-do farmer, llving abouta quarter of a mile below Snyder's, was first called on, and he stated that for a consid- erable length of time the most offensive odors bad been coming from Sonyder’s hennery; that on 1nquiry asto the cause, Soyder gave out that he was rendering dead hogs; that is, he was buying hogs that died of cholera or other disecases. About that time a notice was posted on the fences, * Cash paid for dead hogs.” Nothing was thought of the matter uotil the pump-maker discovered the true naturc of the busiuess that was peing carried on, and sioce that time theneighbornood bas beenterribly ex- cited over the affair. Mr. Miller stated that his daughter had been sick for three weeks, and that he nad no doubt the 1liness was brought on by tise stench from Suyder's hennery, or, in other words, human rendering establishment. Your correspoudent tiien pruceeded to Sny- der's residence. His wite appeared at the door, and stopped outside, closing tne door. After passing the compliments of the day, we inquired for Mr. Soyder. The wife replicd he was not at home; that he would not return from the city before dark. We stated that we had heard of the stories, which were causing considerable talk, and 2sied that we be shown some of the skeletous. - Mrs. Snyder replied that there were none on hand now, set up, but that they had several bones for some ready for use, but that Snyder had the keys with him. In reply to the inquiry as to whether she had read the printed report of their establishment, she said she had; that some of it was true and a portion of it ialse. Ia reply to the direct question as to whether the dead bodies of hu- man beings were brought there and placed in vats apd kettles and boiled until all the flesh was removed, she roptied, * Yes, ot course. How else could the flesh be re- moved!” Upon touching the subject of its beinga very disagrecable business, and oue which caused annoyance aud nervousness amonz women and chiluren in the vicinlty, to say nothing of the steuch which filled the air, she coolly replied, *hy don't they puta stop to itif they can! It is our businoss, not thelrs. Even if they don’t fancy it, what are they going to dv about it Considerable more was said in regard to who furnished the bodies, but nothing could be Icarned in that direction. At one point iu the conversation she was called into the nouse, and doubtless was cautioned not to give herself away. Snyder’s wife is apparently 30 yvears old, with not unpleasant features, bat there is 2 look of utter disregard of all the fine aud deli- cate emotions which characrerize womcn. Doticeable in her expression. In conversation she talks with tiie utinost deliberation w reier- eoce to the business they are carrvinz on, and no more [eeling or expression of’its horrible na- ture tuan as tudugh the bodies wero those of hogs aud not mew. In fact. the baretaced as- sumption in hier manuer is very seldom found o any of the most degenerate ciuss. We had our douhts about Snyder being ab- sent from home. His wife stated that we would probably tiad bim ut the o of Dr. Blesch, who, It appears, is au intereted party in_this eaterprise. Onour returu we visited the Doc- tor’s uilice, but nut tinding him 10 we injuired for Snyder, but were inforued that that person had not been in the city to-day. There is no doubt but that >nyder was at hume and beard our conversauion witlf nis wile. If there wese any reasons to doubt theauthen- ticity and reliability oi the horrible revelations wiich have beea breugzht out, taat doubt can be set aside. The tact cannot be denfed that right on one of the principal roads leading out of this_city, and less than four miles from the State-Housc, 2 busincss has been carried on ‘whleu 15 of 80 revolting a nature as to be almost be{uud the comprebeusion of man. Cesterday the story was denounced as a hoax, but to-nighit there are few who doubt the truth of the report sent you lust night, and the above addition.] faz ‘he community near Soyder and 1 the adjoining neighborhood ‘are excited Dbeyond expression. I the law docs not quickly piltason o enterprise which tlreatvns to cpopulute the countrics in this communi- sz, and remove the causc that is bringing slcepless nights to many women and chuldren, with dreams tuat the Iast resting-place of their Joved ones 13 being desecrated by the foul touch of tie body-snaccner, and their lonored remains being boiled until the lust vestize of flesh bas been removed Irom thcir bones for the purposc of gain, thea will the people tuke measures into their own- hands and »ia themsclves of this plague. —_—— ST.

When I first heard the Matbashek I confess it pleaced me more than any other Pianol had heard, and the result was I exchanged my Stein- way for & Mathushek Orchestral. It has been tuned but once, on_the day of its purchase, vi: April 14, 1874, and gives my family snd mus Toving friends ana. critics perfect eatisfaction. It is with pleasare I reccommend this make as having ower and tone certainly beiter than any other I ave ever seen. Wismng you success, Lum, dear sir, yours respectfull M.

Be- fore purchasing I made a thorough examination of its mechanical constraction, particularly of those points where it differs from others. My litile kuowledge of mechanism and the principles of acoustics satisfied me that vour scale was the best Ihad ever seen for affording dnrability, perma- mency in tune, and power to the instrument. Then I reasoned, if it can produce 2s finc a quality of tone as other pianos, it is preferable to others: and upon this polnt too I was perfectly eatisfied before buylag. 1was led to anticipate agrand instrument belore It came, but I assure you it has more than verificd my highest anticipations, and it improves with use. The regleters are splendidly balanced, the tones are r.ch, melodious, nay, magnificent—it gives forth no thin wiry. bumole-bee tones. Then its comnpass of power is wonderful. 1t can thnnder aud whsper with equally pleasing effect. Think we not. foolishly enthusiastic in this mat- ter, for1 fecl ail L eay, and more too, und ) assure you it would require’ much more than your list price to purchase 1t from me, if I could not procure unother of tne same kind. Like a certain_**scct'" of old, they are much spoken azainst by those Interested in other planos, Uit to me the opposition to 1t scems like that ugainet that sect—to arise from conscious fear and srowing popularity.
