The more pacific the policy of Prince Gortschakof the more bellicose was the language of the St. Petersburg and Moscow Journals, Even tho country papers—under Strict cousorship—were allowed to take part in the tial movement, the object of this concentrated \Werary attack apparently being to represent Rus- Sia’s new propositions as an ultimatum and their ac- septance by England as a concession to Siav interests. Only a few advanced journa's formed an exception to the rule, and, deprecating any settioment short of the disintegration of Turkey, rejected hall the conces- sions supposed to have been demanded of Engiand. ‘Though the Mtussian public were at Grst but very moderately interested in the Eastern question, the series of exciting urticies aud energetic diplomatic notes during the current year have lod them to expect avery different result trom the one attained, Hence we have the striking spectacie that while auti-Turkish enthusiasm was always re stricted to a few towns, and even there evaporated quickly, the disappointment felt at the present (erm) Ration of the diplomatic campaign is serious acd ex- tends to many."” ‘THE UNSATISTIED MONTENEGRINS, It is stated in Constantinople that the Montonegrins ‘will be satisfied with the cessiun of a portion of the Nicsies district. The Turkish Cabinet met yesterday to consider the change in the situation resulting from the signing of the protocol, No final determination was arrived at in regard to sending delegates to St Petersburg, for the reason that the Porte awuits oficial cognizance of the protocol, According to a special from Vienna the Prince of Montenegro has reiused to command the Bosnian insurgents, alleging that consid- eration for Austria obliged his doing so. THE KASAN REVOLUTIONISTS, A St Petersburg letter says:—*'The condemnation of the youthful demonstrators before the Kusap Cathe- Gra) has beon followed by a suit against 150 persons of both sexes for socret brotherhood, the circulation of treasonable writings and preparatory stops for a com- muristic revolution. Investigations by a special committees of the Senate, which create a | freat seneation, prove that a well orgauized plan existed, based on the principles of the interna Wonal eocial democrats, As an instance of the signifi. tance attached to the trial Prince Gortschakof, despite his ailments and Jaborious duties, has already appeared twice in court to watcn the case,’”’ THE MONT CENIS TUNNEL.

Wasuincton, April 2, 1877. ‘At the Cabinet meoting this morning the Secretary ; of War was directed to prepare au order transterriug the troops from the State House in Columbia, 8. C., to their camp, AN EXPRESSION PKOM NAMPTON, When Governor Humpton was informod, this after. noon, 1p advance of the official notification, that an ore der would be issued for the removal of the troops trom | the State House, he expressed himself much gratified, | but said it was no more than he expected trom tho principles aupounced in the tnaugural address of the President, He was somewhat interested to kuow whether the order was to take immediate effect, as he wished to be present in Columbia when it was exe- cuted. However, as @ precautionary measure, ho would at once telegraph to triends in Columbia his earnest wish that there should be no outward demon- rations such as might disturb the public peace, and he was satistied that bis advice woud be respected, and on the withdrawal of the troops from the State House he would direct that a guurd of two unarmed inen be sent there to guard it from improper intrasion, aud he thought such force would be sufficient for the purpose, He felt sutisfed that there would be no disturbance whatever, and that the people throughout the State would take courage in the effort to repair their shattered indus- tries. He caliod this afternoon to take leave of the President and thank him for the withdrawal of tho troops, repeating the assurances given in his recent letter that all should sharo alike in the protection of the lew, and not doubting his abiuty to preserve the peace, He does not apprebend that Governor Cham- “berluin will take any action with rogurd to the custody of the State House, Goveruor Hampton will leave Washington on his ro- turn tw Columbia to-mght He hi by numerous fricnds on the success of his visit, HAMUEKLAIN INCREDULOUS, Although reports of the Prosidential determination to withdraw the troops from the Columbia Stute House were current throughout Washington very svon ufter the close of the Cabinet ‘session, Governor Chamberlain, up to tour o'clock thie atternoun, did pot believe that any such decision bad been reached, aud was not convincod of the truth of the report until he heard from a repro- sentative of the New York press thut tt was based npon direct official authority. In response to an inquiry as to what be thought of it, he simply remarked ‘It ends the struggle, and practically {nak Hampton Governor.” Being usked when he proposed returning to South Carolina, be said he would not leave Washington to- bight but would start tor Colambia to-morrow night, He mentioned algo that he had an engagement to dine with the President this evening. THE FORMAL ORDER. The formal order to Generul Kuger to remove the troops from the State House, ut Columbia, to their camp is being prepared by the Sccretary of War; but it will not bo sent to General Ruger or made pablio unt! to-morrow, General Sherman was closetod with Secretary McCrary for some time before the prepara- top of the order was commenced, which will be in the uture of a despatch to General suger, not a ge al order through the accustomed im: ry channels, CHAMBERLAIN CONVINCED. ‘The order to withdraw the troops will not be exe- cuted until toward tbe close of the week. The Presi- dent so informed Governor Chumberiain to-night, This isin uccordance with the request of the latter, who, having some private business to transact her will not reach Colambts until Friday or Saturday, Governor hampton Las also received information to the same eflect, PORCES OF THY RESPRCTIVE GOVERNORS, Governor Chamberiain said to-night thatthe militia at Columbia are not in an efficient condition, having been deteriorating during the past six years, while, on the contrary, the iriends of Hampton are well armed and organized, He therefore does not apprehend any conflict between the two political parties, as the weaker must give way to the stronger, and the result will be to leave comparatively little of a republican party in South Carolina. A DINNER WITH THE PRESIDENT, This evening Governor Chamberlain dined with the President, Mrs, Hayes and other meinbers of the f: ily, There were also present Secretary Schurz, Go eral and Mrs, Sherman and Sr. Rogers, the President's private secretary.

Conummia, 8. C., April 2, 1877.

Tho effect of this was to discourage everything like a demonstration, and 1 think now that even an ova- tion contemplated for Hampton on his return will be abandoned, @ democratic negroes evince their teel- fonal hurrans tor Hampton, but these are FEELING AMONG REPUDLICASE, Among the republicans the news creates great despondency, This 1s particularly so with tho negro special constabulary at the State Houso and the few officials wto looked forward to a recognition of Chamberlain as their only hope of a continuation in office. It is generally conceded, even by republicans, that ‘the uction of the President was wise und judicious in the highest degree. CHAMBERLAIN’S FUTURE. It ts stated to-night that Governor Chamberlain may come back here to practice law, or he may go on sume foreign mission, The desperate tecung heretotore existing against him has completely died away under the happy assurance of the withdrawal of the troops, Speculation 1s rile us to the next move after the | troops leave the State House, but #0 far uotbing hus Leen developed. 5 LOUISIANA.
