Chamberlain’s sun baving set, Patterson is quick to turn his face toward .Hampton. Chamberlaly, in privato conversation, does not acuept his defeat with any considerable degrea of equanimity. Ho speaks very bitterly of the President, and Las allowed his disappointment. to permit him to uso the cant of the carpet- baggers, and to declare that fn his (Chamber- lain's) opinion the President scems *'to have acted in accordance with some preconcerted ar- Chamberlaln emphatically de- rangement.! clares that he will accept no mission orany position under tho United States.

Nrw OnLzans, Aprll 4, —Dayries, who a few days sinco cntered tho Nicholls Leisislature, to- day returned to his seat in the State-llouse, He was returned by tho Returnlog Board, and unconteated. ¥ Beveral men wha wero some time ago arreated by the Nicholls police while recruiting for Gav, Packard's militia, and who weru committed to the Parish Prison without benefit of ball, on & charge of treason, and in whose behalf Gov. Tackard mado representations to the President, nsking him {f it would bo a violation of the status quo If he should forcibly releass them, bave been dismissed from cus- tody by the Buperlor Crimival Court, on motion of Njcholls' Attorney-Geoeral Ogden, It was ostensibly for the reason that the accused did not fully understand the grav- ity of their offcnsc and to show confidence in the strength of the Nicholls Government. TUR REAL REASON, howcver, was that procecdings wers sbout to have been commenced [n the United States Clre cult Court for tho release of these men, and Nicholls' partisans, hearing of this fact, were afrald to weet the issue, and mads haste to dis- charge tho men. A gentleman who has mado s business tour through the {nterior of the Btate says that & very critical condition of affalrs cx- ists. The colored people, in view of the fact that they may bo called upon to take armsin defeuse of the Btate Governmont, are unwilling to work, resorved, secret, and threatening. s whiiow, earing the Ioeuguration of u amq n‘:ngm lml"luunnxfw companies in New Orleans bavo been for some time and are now transferring policies on gin-houses, sugar- bouses, sud other property fn the country to Northern aod foreign companies. In view of this danger, to-dsy & caucus was had jo the State-House of State ofiicers and members of tho General Assembly, Gov. Packazrd mado a It is said that whon the Hampton Legislaturo shall couvene, the latter part of this month, the reorganized Legis- 1ature, as to whoso authority or legality there can ba little doubt, will go through the forma of another election, and will undoubtedly clect agalu 3. C, Butier. Upon this latter certifleate, given by the Legislature in a Stato where there is vo contending Legisiature, and certified to by a Governor who has no contestant, Butler ox- pects to bo scated if ho falls upon the certlfl- speech, In which he stated thats regularly or- gouized Legislature, contlating of a quorum 0f bath Houscs, met In the State-lHovsr, the place bt lnw, nnd after duly canvassing the voles cast declared the re- sult of the electlon. From this proceeding he obtained his legal title as (Jovernor, and this dtie hul pot” been questioned {}vnny roper authority, The President of the United States did not question li. He conld not consistently 0 80, a3 it was a little HETTRR THAN 118 OWN, But Prestdent Hayes has ncver in all his con- versation said a wonl in disparagement of his {Packani’s) title, and he had_nerfect confidence In the good falth of the Presklent. In re- gark to the rumors that had been circulated to the effect that an arrange- ment of some sort was being inede that would place him (Fackard) n the position of Collector of the Port, be would say that tho President had MADE NO BUCI PROPOSITION, but if such a one ahionld be made he should certainly decline it. Further, if the President falled to discharge hts duty as Chicf Exccutiva In accordance with the Constitution and his onth of ofMive In reference to this State, a con- Ungency which is not_poastble, he would actept no office from him, He was the Guvernor of Loulsians, and he would be that or nothing. 1le 1dded that he ouly madethis statement tu refute the charges which had been made by enemics, to dlsmuufio mebers of the Legislature, and Induce them to go to Odd-Fellows® Hall, Preel- dent lln{en had never inade any dishonorable propositian to him: It was true that some of the President’s overzeslous and officions friends had pretended to ropresent the views of the President In o manncr that, If authorized, might bo constried s unfavorable: but the President had repeatedly disavowed thelr gy. thority.

C., April 4.~Tho Postmas- ter-General declded to open no blds to-day for the manufacture of postal cards during the next four years. * He has diseovered in the last doy or two that a combluation had apparcntly been formed, having connections somewhere in the Post-Oftlce Department, for securing this cantract to certain persons who alons were pre- pared to execute It. The saniple to be furnished to bldders was of a peculiar construction, belng of a light-green color on one side, and buff on the other. Only onc flrin o the country, that of Wilkinson Brps. & Co., of Derby, Conn., are at tho present time preparcd tomaken card of this pocullar construction, and they had refused to moko contracts for furnishing thie stock to any other bidders exvept two Now Englaud firms. The process by which this peculiar stock s manufactured 18 NOT A PATENT one, nor would othor papermakers have any diffleulty in making a similar one, and if time cuough was glven them to prepare tho necessary machinery, but as the sdvertlsement for pro- posals required that the successful bidder should begin the manufacture of the postal-cards on the 1st of Moy next, it virtually excluded from competition all except thisone firm, andtne two with which they had madearrangeinenta, When Ahis fact was brought to tho mttentlon of the Pustmaster-General aud his First Assistant, Tyner, they at once declded that, notwithstand. ug that a readvertiscment tmuhl cost the De- artment 88,000, no other cottrse was open but 0 postpone the opening of bids, and to jssue new {nvitations for proposals. The new cou- tract will go into operation ou the 1st of July, lustead of un the 1st of Say, as lerctofore.

Four years ago manufacturers who madc bids, sup- posing that no guods would bo accepled unless thoy werc as a3 the sample furnished, namcd much higher prices than they would havo dono had tucy been inforned fn “advance that cardsno better thau soms of those which were me‘s\lexl would bo received.

For s long time tho combiuation of the cotton-clalm sgents has been at work to undermine the prosent or- ganization of the division in the Tressury which passes upon cotton claims. Immediatcly after the inauguration of Hayes the attack on this division broke out ancw sad with great vigor. ‘The charges made were promptly fnyes- tigated, and the result is to fully exonersts Mr. Noen, the chief man agsiust whom the movcment was directed.
