Reasons Given for Military Interference in South Carolina. THE CONSPIRACY TO COUNT IN HAYES. A Republican Victory To Be 8s-| cured at All Hazards, MANIPULATIONS FOR THE SPEAKERSHIP Sitting Bull's Projected Attack on Fort ¥ Peck. FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. Wasimncrtoy, Dee. 1, 18: THE REASON FOR GRANT'S INTERFERENCE IN SOUTH CAROLINA—FEARS THAT THE STATE WOULD BE SNATCHED AWAY FROM HAYES— DIFFICULTIES OF THE LOUISIANA RETURNING BOARD—MEANS ADOPTED TO THROW OUT THE DEMCCRATIC MAJORITIES—CARPET-BAGGERS TO BE LEPT TO THEIR FATE AFTER DOING THER DIRTY WORK. It is said here, by high republican authority, that the object of preventing the regular assemblage of the South Carolina Legisiature by the interference of troops and the a:tion of Juage Bond was to create a deadlock which should prevent any legislative action until after next Wednesday, On that day the Electoral Colleges meet, and the Hayes electors will assemblo in Columbia and cast and ceruty the vote of the State for Hayes, It is said that the republican leaders here suspected the democrats in South Carolina of an intention, if they could orgsnize the Legislature, to repeal tho law giving the people the choice of elec tors, and returning to the old system in use in South Carolina before the war, when the Legislature chose the electors, To prevent this at all hazards, it is said, was the mrin object of the recent act of interferonce, and the purpose is ncw to keep the Legislature at a deadlock until after Wednesday, this being done, it is also asserted, that General Ruger will receive orders on no account to interfere except to provent bloodshed, to let tho L ure or- ganize as it chooses and manage its own affairs, allow- ing the disputed democratic members to bo admitted and the democrats to have the ascendency if they can get it, lt ig expected that they will do so; that they will canvass the State voto and doclare Hampton Governor, and, having a majority on joint Vallot, will choose a democratic United States Senator. This story comes on sufficiently good authority to make it at lenst probable. If it correctly describes the policy of the republican leaders here it settles the fate of Chamberlain and his triends Moses, Wh pper and Elliot, who will be retired to pri- vate tife to the great satisiaction of honest men every- where, It is taken for granted hero that the Louisiana Re- turning Board will give the State to Hayes, and prepa- rations have already been made for curing certain do- fects in the electors. Two of them are federal office- holders, Brewster being United States Surveyor General and Leviseo Commissioner in the United States court. They have been oraered to resign and then to absent themseives next Wednesday from the meeting of the Electoral College, whereupon the two vacancies will bo filled as the Stato law pro- vides—by the other republican electors, The action of the Returning Board in suddenly throwing out 5,000 naturalized voters in Now Orleaus was rendered neces. sary by the fact, but recently developed, that Tilden’s majority in the State could not bo overcom@ in any otber way. The other devices—hiring supervisors of election to keep the returns out of the way, causing the destruction of returns and records by secret agents and making charges of intimidation, have proved insufficient to make a sure thing of it, and so this last card hold in reserve, and which it is hero said the Board themselves hoped not to play, must be played, it has become necessary, they say here, because in some parishes all the Hayes clectors were not voted for and the deficiency thus caused is found to be larger and less concealable than was at first believed. Senator Morton is credited with a curious discovery concerning Nebraska. A law of that State makes the Legislature meet to prociuim the electors, The Governor and other republicans forgot there was such a Jaw, and Senator Morton is said to have reminded them of it by telegraph. The Governor teiegraphed this evening that he has summoned tho Legislature. One necd not be bere long to discover that all the power of the federal administration is bent toward tno election of Governor itayes. Every loophole of defect is searched for by government officers, and nothing & omitted which can help toward this end, At the same time there is good ground for the suspicion that Hayes once counted in the administration means to leave the carpet baggers and rogues im South Caroliva and Lousiana to shitt for themselves, lt need occasion no surprise it tho re. turning boards, having done their dirty work so far as giving the two States to Hayes 1s concerned, the ad- ministration will thereafter, namety, atter next Wea- nesday, declare that it has no constitutional power to interfere, that the Legislatures, which in both States canvass the votes for Governor, must constitute and organize theinse!ves without federal interference, and that the resnit they tnay declare must be accepted as final, Ip this case both South Carolina and Louisiana may yet hope for honest government, for the Legis- lature of Louisiana will have but a narrow repoblican majority on yomnt ballot, and Mr. Pinchback ts velieved to hold a force of republicany under his control who will follow hts’ directions even into tne democratic camp. tis very well known that Pinchback 18 tired of local misrulo in his State. He denounced it sharply ip Cincinnati, and he cares more for the happiness of the colored people and for his own fortunes than for Packard and Kellogg. RUMORED LESIGNATION OF SRORETARY FISH. There is a report all over town, this evening that, in consequence of dissensions in the Cabinet to-day, Sec. retary Fish had sent in, or would send in, his resigna- ion. Asitis probable that this report may bé tele. graphed from here it is well to say that there is no foundation at all forthe report. * FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT, Wasixetos, Dec. 1, 1876 A REPORT FROM INDIAN AGENT MITCHELL— OXE HUNDRED AND NINETEEN LODGES OF ROSTILE UNCPAPAS OFFER TO SURRENDER THEIR ARMS AND PONIES—SITTING BULL AND HIS WARRIORS EXPECTED AT FORT PECK. Tne Commiestoner of Indian Affairs is tn receipt of two important communications from Indian Agent T. I, Mitehell, at Fort Peck, dated respectively the Lith and 13th of November. Among other things, the agent states that the 119 lodges of hostile Une- papas, which recently appeared near hia post, presented themselves in an humbie man- ner with « view of surrendering their arms and ponies, He gave them one day's rations, bat refused them ammanition. hile they held under consideration the conditions stated oy Agent Mitchell for their capitulation they heard, through a runner, that a steamboat had passed Wolf Point the preceding day, October 20, with 600 soldiers on board, and they immediately fled agsin to the plain Siting Ball was not among the chiels who came to treat for surrender, but w on the Dry Fork, some thirty-five miles away, waiting to see what was going to be done with the otner In- dians, He sent word that he was coming alone. Iron Dog, Hawk, Crow, Little Knife, Long Dog and Iron Buck Eiknorn were among the principal Indian chiefs who camo in to Fort eck, but neither Black Moon nor Four Horns was with them. The Yancktons on! As- sinaboines aro reported perfectly quiet, and refuse to allow. the Uncpapas to visit Voeir lodges, Genorai Hazen arrived there The Commissioner of Indian Affairs has expected to hear that Sitting Bull, with bis war- rors, would swoop down on Fort Peck and capture all the supplies there. Ho gives him credit for some forbearance in this regard, because he says he could easily make trouble if he wished. The commission which has been treating with the Sioux for their removal to the Indian Territory will meet in this city op Decem- ber 9 aot the Department of Indian Affairs, Some ninety Indian chiefs have gone to the Indian Territory In charge of Commissioners Daniels and Boone to make a study of the country and its suitability for their homes, £x-Indian Agent Howard, of the Spotted Tail agency, accompanies them as a friend.

The contest for the Speakership has narrowed down to Messrs, Morrison and Randall. The Mois delega- tion held a meeting to-day, and ascertained they were anit for Mr, Morrison. Heis also promised a part of the Missouri delegation, and will have the support of seatteriag representatives in enough other delegations to make him provabiy ine highest candidate on the second ballot, or after the complimentary ballots have been gove through with, Mr. Randall goes into the caucus without the united support of his own delegation. The Pennsylvania representatives refusing to work as a unit. He will have the support, however, of probably two-thirds or three-quarters of the delegation. The other members at first will vote for Mr, Clymer, and then probably transfer their ballots to Mr. Morrison, 1t 18 the mis- fortune of Mr, Randall that he encounters here, as well as at home, the enmity of the Wallace wing of the Pennsylvania democrats; the feud being fo bitter as to follow him to tho floors of Congress. Mr. Randall will also fail to get the votes of the Peonsylvania members who opposed the Centennial appropriation. Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, is against the selection of Mr. Randall, and has weakened more or less the solid Southern voto om which Mr. Randall had counted. Mr, Saylor, ot Ohio, is regarded standing about third in the race. He will get the complimentary vote of Ohio on the first ballot. Mr. Cox is making “a still hunt,” and promises to astonish everybudy when the caucus meets, The worst aspect of Mr, Randall’s chances has been ‘Bet forth in the above sketch of the situation of the canvass to-night. It is capable of improvement. His friends say be will again get all the votes he received when ho opposed Mr, Kerr last winter and enough more to secure him his election from those who be- Neve him entitled to the Speakership by seniority, hard work and fair play. The republican honorary nomination will probably. be given to Genoral Garfleld, whose leading rivais aro Messrs, Kasson and Frye. AMUSEMENTS. STEINWAY HALL—MME. ESSIPOFY, Last night Mme. Annetto po appeared for the eloventh time before the American public. Although the fair young pianist received at her debut entire rec- ognition of her wonderful talents from the apprecia- tive music jovers of the motropolis, yot every concert seems to reveal some new artistic feature in her play- tng, and the profound impression she ut first created ts more and more deepened as the season prozsresses. She gave a striking proof of her versatility lust evening. Schubert, Bach, Gluck, Thalberg, Tausig and Leschetizky bave tittle in common, and the tnterpetor of those composers at a single concert must be an artist of a vory high order, Schuhort’s andante, scherzo and impromptu, with which the concert opened, cannot be mistaken as to their authorship, From tho unexplored masses of his pianoforte music occasionally delicious wails liko the above are brought to the surface. The richness of fancy, the luxuriant growth of ideas that seemed at times to bewilder even the happy possessor, gives to Schubert’s tugi- tive works a charm askin to that of bis matehless songs. Tho andante, scherzo and im. prompta were played by Mine, Essipoff wiih exquisite expression, The melodies in the first and third were sung on the piano, and tne delicate tracery of the sec. ond, gauze Ike in its beautiful passages, was woven as it were by fairy Angers. The prelude and fugue in D flat showed (that those fingers could ind their way withdut difflculty throrgh the mazes of Bach, the sub- ject boing rendcred as clear and distinct in all its phases as if it were buta simple melody without ac- companiment, A gavotte in A major, by Gluck, arranged by Brahms, was followed by Thal, berg’a grand fantusin in ‘La Sonnambula,” one of Wwe best of the renowned pianist’s trunscriptions, Thalborg 18 too seldom heard nowadays, and in place Ot his works we are coi tantly treated to the school of “higher development.” Yet those fantasiaa of Thalberg are always charming, and the modern school 18 {requently unbearavic. Mmo. Essipoft mingied power and expression iu her rendering of the “son- nambula”? fantasia aud recalled memories ot the pop- ular composer and pianist when he was the chief at- traction in the concert hail. Two delighttul works, “Chant des Pecheurs’’ aud “‘Mazurka,’’ by ber bus- vand, Mt. Leschetizky, gave Mme. Esstpof an oppor- tunity of showing her talents in a different style of composition, and she concluded the concert with a magnificent rendering of Carl Tausi.’s waltz, opus 167 (apris Johann Strauss), Mile. Octavie Gomien, a contralto singer, possessed of a rich, sympathetic votce, which ia coiwred with the utmost tenderness of expression in auch aro as “Congaes tu lo pays,’ trom “Miguon,” and was heard with telling, effect in Romeo's cavatina, “ascoltal” from Bellini’s “Montecht @ I Capule M.
