South Carolina Democrats Crowding Sen ator Patterson for Qis Resig nation. WATT Vfcj. TERRY. IPS COMMISSIONER’S LAST PMNO AT Tltß ABN- Washington, I). C., Aug. 25.—ImlianCom nitdoncr Hayt publishes a paper on the recent indorsements by (lens, Sherman, Sheridan, and Terry of n report made by Col. Carlin, regard ing the half-breeds born at the Indian Agencies, and says the paper would have appeared sooner but the Secretary of the Interior regarded It as needless. The Commissioner addresses his communication “To whom Itmayconcern,” and pives this origin of the trouble: “Early in December lasi there was a conference at the White House, intended lo ennblo tho civil and military branches of the Government to act in harmony and promptly ascertain the work to bo done on the Missouri Kiycr. After this business had been disposed of, some con versation passed between Gon. Sherman and mv-self about the demoralization caused by tho proximity of soldiers’camps to Indian Agencies, (ton. Terry, silling Hi some illatauce, made the remark that he believed tho Sioux women to bo rzoptionally virtuous, and asked mo If it were not f<>. 1 said (n reply that If it were so those at tiic Standing Bock Agency must be an exception, as residents trorn that Agency had been In the Indian Bureau a short time previous, und had slated that nearly ouc-half of tho children born st that Agency were half-breeds. This was all that uasK'd between Gcn.*Terrv and myself on the subject, and was the only reference made to the Standing Hock Agency. It would seem that It there was anything said bv me on that occasion that would justify Gen. Terry’s subse quent letters, that was the time and place to make tho Issue, as there were present the Presi dent, Secretary Schurz, Gen. Sherman, Gen. Terry, Supl. Hammond, and myself.” Commissioner Hoyt thus closes'hts paper: “One effect of tho publication uf those Indorse ment* will bo to surprise the public that officers lu high positions should Indulge In a stylo of re mark that at best closely resembles the Chinese method of warfare, ami has ouly to be perse vered la to bring honorable names into disre pute.” A FIAT FIB. ITS THINNESS MADE APPARENT Special Dltpaleh to The Tribune. Washington, D. C., Aug. 20.—Tbo report In Western Greenback organs that 7-30 Treasury notes to tbo amount of (600,000,000 were used as legal-tenders Is emphatically denied by all the Treasury ofllclals la a position to know any thing of the subject. In order to verify tbo de nial, a searching inquiry was made to-day at the bureau of the Treasury which bad to do with the construction of the law under which these notes were Issued, with the mechanical work of preparing their Issue, with the Issue Itself, and with the redemption of the notes, either by pmeboso or conversion. All of the authorities ame that not a single dollar of the 7-Soswas' ever legal-tender for any purpose, or that the Government ever received them IN PAYMENT OP ANY DOBS. The total amount authorized wo* $800,000,000. Tbo Ifcw officers who constructed the laws under which these nates were Issued say that Ills true that there was a clause in the act which would have permitted ttie Secretary of the Treasury to have treated them as legal-tenders. Yet the Secretary never availed himself of that discre tion, ana the bonds were printed In a different term from that in which It would have been necessary to Issue them had the Treasurer de signed to give them a legal-fender quality. To have been made effective and lawful as legal tender*, the notes should have been Issued with interest pavable at maturity, or otherwise, were to be Issued with semi-annual Interest coupons. : NOT A SINGLE DOLLAU was issued with interest pavable at maturity, 'l ucre were only two plates made for these notes, —one to correspond w ith the earlier law, and the (oeoud adapted to the later law, which gives the Treasury the discretion to pay II per cent gold or 7 8-10 currency. That was the differ ence In the .tenor of the two plates. There were only two plates ever used, aud they were plates of the coupon bonds. The bonds were nil Issued with live semi-annual interest coupon bonds, with tnu legend in the margin ot the body of the nolo declaring that tbo last Six months' in terest Is payable with the note, prior installments payable only ou presentation ot the coupons therefor. United States Treasurer Gillliilan, who was at that thnu Chief of the bond Divis ion, says thu Treasury notes all passed under his own personal supervision, aud were ÜBOBBMED TUKOUUU 1118 DUUEAV. Mr. Baker, present Cnlcf of tho Loan Division, ■ays thu records of his olllco confirm this state ment. McPherson, Chief of thu Bureau of L’ugruvlng and Printing, (s authority for thu statement from thu records of his bureau as to (ho form in which the 7-80 notes were alone printed. Tho statement, therefore, by whomsoever made, that t,‘io 7-30 notes, or any portion of them, were Issued by the Gov ernment as legal-tenders, or treated as such, receives the most .emphatic denial that It Is possible fur ollldal authority to give. TUB POTTER COMMITTEE. STILL OLUFFINd. Special Dlipateh tu no Tribune, New Yohk, Aug. 30—Editorially the Times •ays: It is intimated that the Democratic mem bers of tbo Potter Committee are keeping the alleged Sherman-Andcrson letter for use in the fall campaign. Tne Democratic managers of the Inquisition have given out mysterious Muts from time to time of a mighty thunderbolt which they were keeping in re serve. They say now that thuy lave Mr. Hhermau's letter to Anderson, and its produc tion In October Is expected to carry a great many Congressional districts which would oth erwise be vonsdered doubtful. This is genuine Democratic management. Tbo entire business ut tho Investigation Committees has bcoa to make political capital. Not one ot these com mittees has ever been organised In the interest ol public murals, but for party purposes, and Mr. Potter, who has been TUI “RESPECTABLE" fIOUBBUBAD la more than one disgraceful partyjob, contents haw to servo In that capacity. The honest and decent course lu regard to the much-talked of Sherman letter would bo to produce all the evidence bearing on the subject at the time when that particular matter was under discus* Mon. But tbe Putter Committee has nut been managed honestly or decently. It could uot be to managed lu tbe interest of tbe Democratic party. HEWITT’S COMMITTEE.

SENATOR PATTERSON—HOW WADE HAMPTON IS PURSUING HIM—TOP ATTEMPTED EXTRADI TION—A POSSIBLE BARGAIN INVOLVING RESIG NATION OP A SENATORIAL SEAT—ROMANTIC INCIDENT OP THE CAMERONS. From Our Otm Cormvon/ltnU Washington, D. 0., Aug. 24.—Wm10 Hamp ton Is reported to have said, when the proposi tion for genera) amnesty was pending between the President of the United States and the Gov ernor of South Carolina, that there were two persons In South Carolina that public opinion would not permit to come within? the provis ions of any amnestv. Those two persons were John J. Patterson and Klmpton. The attempt now making to secure the extradition of Klmp ton from the Massachusetts authorities is well known. There are Indications that like at tempts will be made to obtain Patterson. There are many movements of the South Carolina authorities looking to this end. Indeed, this belief docs not depend upon any indications. The direct statement of Judge Vuumans, Attor ney-General of the State, Is, that the South Carolina authorities will pot only attempt to obtain Patterson, but expect to secure him. The term of Patterson as United States Senator expires March 4 next* Until that time, unless the District of Columbia Courts change their opin ion, rendered last spring, Patterson will be ex empt from arrest wbllo in attendance upon the sessions of tbo Senate. But it is probable that new attempts will be made to secure his extra dition from here, notwithstanding tno decision of the District of i Columbia court-authorities. These new attempts will undoubtedly bo sup ported by the report ol the South Carolina In vestigating Committee, which had not been inutlu at the time the former effort to secure Puttersuu failed. Whether these disclosures will strengthen the case against him remains, of course, to bo determined. THE OAMBUONS AND WADE HAMPTON. But, after March 4 next, Patterson will not bo able loshicld hlmsclt behind the door of the United States Senate-Chamber. His place of rcluge will undoubtedly bo Pennsylvania. There be enjovs tbo friendship of tbo Camerons, who will undoubtedly use their clforts to pre vent his extradition from that State. Indeed, •icro are stories that Gov. ilartranft will cer tainly decline to recognize any demands upon him oy the South Carolina authorities lor the extradition of Patterson. There Is an incident—'whether true or not, 1 will not undertake to say—which is reported to bo the occasion of the intense opposition of the Camerons to Wade Hampton, aod to account in part for their interest in Patterson. A brother of Simon Cameron, or some near male relative, was shot, lu one of the last years of the War, on (he battle-held, under peculiar circumstances. (Jen. Hampton was a leader of tiio opposing forces, and the Camerons ore understood to have believed that Hampton shot that kinsman in the battle, knowing him to be a'Csmeruu. At all events, tbo sword and sash of tbo fallen Cumcrou came Into the possession of Hampton. The Camerons ore Scotcu lu their clannishness and their hatred, if this incident Is true, it might servo to explain munv things In the rela tions of the Camerons, both to Uaiuptuu aud to the Administration. SOUTH CAUOLINA NEMESIS. Tbo following talk with a visiting South Car olina statesman confirms these views. Said he: “ There Is little doubt that (Jov. Wade Hamp ton has Issued another requisition for Senator I’attcrson, and that attempts will be made to obtain a requisition tor him from Gov. Hart* ranft, of i'oimsylvanla. Gentlemen familiar with South Carolina polities say that Wade Hampton is forced by public opinion to do this, and that the argument that he is compelled to put to himself is this: “Thero has been a protracted Legislative In quiry into the acts of tbo carnct-bag Slate Gov ernment, and largo frauds bavu been discovered. Yet nobody has been punished. A great many jwrsons have been indicted, and a few have been scut to jail; but they bavu been pardoned. Moses, Smalls, Itaincy. Cordoza, Jones, and a host of others, have been relieved from prose cution. Cass Carpenter has bccu pardoned. Public opinion demands some sacrifices. Let Patterson bo the man. HAMPTON AND U. C. DDTLKR. “There are some circumstances which point to Psttersou as the person against whom Wadu Hampton might well he disposed to have the wrath of the Statu directed. Patterson has, of course, always been opposed to Wude'Hamp ton; but be has particularly enraged the latter. When looking fur some arrangement by which to be relieved from prosecution m South Caro lina, there wore two persons to whom Patter son might verv properly apply. These persons were the Governor, Wade Hampton, who could pardon, and the Attorney-General, who could direct the entry of a nolle prosequi, Patter son chose to consult neither of these persons. , ()u the contrary, his action was such os to ex cite their anlmosltr. Patterson made friends with M. C. butler, and voted and worked (or Ins admission to the United Stales tieuate. Now, ; It happens that M. C. butler is strongly opposed both by Guv. Wade Hampton aud ux-Attornuy- General James Cuunnr on personal and political gruuuas. Connor and Hampton are friends. Connor Is particularly hostile to Butler, and Connor and Hampton are both candidates lor tnu United Stales Senate. They both desire to bavu Butler's teat vacated. “The prosecution, ur persecution, now, of Patterson, might help them lu llidr ambition. If Patterson's scat umld bo made vacant, Gov. Hampton, on the second day of September, could commission James Connor to take Patter* sou's Beat, ami this would then secore one vote certainly against allowing Uutler to rclaiu LU •eat lu tbe contested case of Corbin vs. Uutler. Not Uiut dames Connor would vote to seat tbe Uonubllcan, Corbin; bub be would easily dud technical grounds to show that the pretended Legislature which claimed to have elected Uul* ier was uot a legal body. The vote ol Connor In Patterson's place, unless there were some radical changes la the political convictions of the Senate, would result lu causing U. C. But* ler to lose nls scat. He only secured it, It will be remembered, by tbe votes ol Conover and Patterson. He could uot retain it should be lyse the vote of either Conover or Patterson. With James Connor in Patterson's place, But* ler would no sure to lose one vote." A POSSIULB TiUUJt. “But bow can Pauersou Lu induced tore* sigu his scat!" “By the very simple process of resignation,— a resignation to Ouv. Hsmptuu, obtained in consideration of Immunity from all impending oml future prosecutions to tbe Statu of South Carolina. It would ho a very small price for Senator Patterson to pay fur relief from the annoyance to which the South Carolina aulhorl lies are evidently determined to subject him,— no mailer how unfounded, partisan, or unjust their claims. ‘‘Then there U no reason why Patterson should adhere to the pledges of U. 0. butler any longer, if the latter made any pledges to aid him lu securing freedom from prosecution lu South Carolina, those pledges have not been successful; and, in view of the attitude of po litical hostility which Gov. Hampton holds to wards M. C. Butler, there is no prospect that any efforts that M. C. Butler might make would be of any avail fur Patterson."

C., Aug, 2fi.—lndian-Super- Intcndcut Hammond, referring to the reports that Judge Campbell, District Attorney of Dakota, had obtained leave of absence to go to Europe, says that the statement Is not true; that Camplwl) is now at Yankton, and that tho report that he had left arose from a confusion of names at the Department of Justice. Tno delay In the prosecution of the suits against Uvingston Hammond attributes solely to the division ol territory into three Judicial Dis tricts. As to the report that the accused per sons have obtained possession of evidence sent to tho Department o! Justice, Ocn.

Tbo generous enthusiasm which found audi ble and Tfstblc expression on Saturday evening over the first representation here of "Dlplo maey *’ was again heard* seen, aud felt very dis tinctly last night. The play hss made a very palpable hit In Chicago, os It Is authentically re ported to have done wherever It was presented to any intelligent assemblage. Its production In this city was attended with some unforeseen troubles lo the management, hut happily these have proved no hindrance to the artistic success of the piece. Two valid reasons may he given for the easy overcoming of the difficulties al luded to. One Is, that the play is Intrinsically a clover and interesting work, not wholly de pending upon tiie individual merit of the actors; and the other is, that Ibo management was for tunate in being enabled to supply the cast with actors who thoroughly appreciated the work. The original cost in New York included Lester Wallack, Fred Robinson, and Rose Coghlon. but the elimination of these favorite performers by uo means proved detrimental to Us popularity when the piov went to San Francisco. Nor has the death of Mr. Montague—much as wo would have wished to accbim—been found to interfere to any serious extent with tbo general desire to witness the ploy itself. "Diplomacy ’’ is an effective and brilliant drama. It has been generally regarded ns one of Sardou's best. In tnc present Anglicised version, in which undoubtedly several Anglo- Saxon ‘‘lmprovements’* have Itccn made bv the adapters, there is all the point and spirit o'f the French school, and a surprising absence of what we are accustomed to rail Its Freuchiness,—by which is usually meant the introduction of mar ital improprieties as the central feature of the action. " Diplomacy,'* in tills respect, is excep tionally puns In tone, and, as fur the moral to be drawn from it, that may safely be committed to the care of those who go to the theatre, or who read novels, solely for that purpose. The plot of the piece is ex ceedingly simple, and might be stated in three sentences, and If one were to judge of it bv a mere report it would seem to bo a very com monplace affair In which to enlist our sympa thies. It Is lathe admirable tact displavcd in piling Incident on incident, and evolving* strik ing "situations” out of a pint which (s by no means intricate, that the art of the dramatist is feit. An intriguing adventuress falls In love with a man. Bhc pilfers an Important docu ment Irom him out of revenge and contrives to make her rival seem the thief. This Is the whole story in a nutshell, and tils ou the unraveling of tbo web thus woven around au innocent woman that the interest of the action is made to turn. The first act is little else than au introduction to the various characters that are to participate In the action, aud yet It is not uninteresting, although to our taste it la somewhat unnecessarily pro longed. However, the second act makes ample amends, abounding as it docs with situations of dramatic Interest, and, although the spectator is never for a moment kept in suspense as to how the plot is to be unraveled, the attention is concentrated upon the unraveling of it in a woudcrlully skillful way. The fact that not a man or woman In the audience was seen to leave their seats tilt the curtain fell must be regarded as astrlklug proof of this. The present company deserves very high praise lor the general excellence of the per formance. borne of the principal diameters are assumed for the first time by tbe ladies and gentlemen, aud, lu consideration of lids tact, the smoothness and force of the representation is all the more creditable. As the piece U prob ably destined to have an extended ruu, there will be iutllcient opportunity actio to note their individual characteristics. 44 A CELEBRATED CASE.” Spffial /HnatdHu T»t Tribune. Boston, Aue. 30.—Shook A Palmer mode an application to tbe Supreme Court Saturday for a perpetual injunction ogalust 0. D. French and Edward Byron to restrain them from playing "A Celebrated Case." Shook A Palmer allege that they are the holders of the exclusive right to produce the play in America; that it was written by tbe author of “ The Two Orpbaus," lias never been published in this or any other language, but tbst French A Byron have, in someway unknown to tbera, obtained a copy of tne manuscript, wtiich they are using with opt authority, tbe exclusive right to tbe New England States having been already granted to omi James Collins. Similar proceedings were lisd in March lost in the Circuit Court at Balti more against J. W. Gilmore, of the llaliday Street Theatre, which resulted in the issuing of a permanent injunction. Judge Gray, before whom the case was presented, de clined to grant an Injunction on Sat urday, as it was so near to tbe time of performance, and tbe piece was played on Saturday evening in Ibc Lvun Acad emy of Musk*. An order of notice to show cause was, however, Issued, returnable this morning, when a temporary Injunction was Issued, the plaintiff giving bonds. The Court proposed two courscs-one that the defendants should give bond in the sum of SSOO and continue lu play the piece until a hearing could bo bad, or tbat the plaintiffs should tile a bond la tbe same amount, and an injunction should issue. The defendant accepted the latter course. HOOLEY’B TIIKATItE. Mr. John T.

The cast also comprised Mr. Southard, Mr. btooley, Miss Lester, raid other well known artists, Tbe play is to be repeated every even* ing this week. HAVEBLY'S TIIKATHE.

Aug. 20.—Alter ten days'sessions the Harmonizing Committee of the Nationals have given up as a bad Job the attempt to uulte the half-dozen factions to this city. There is now more discord than before. The great trouble In the Harmonizing Committee was the fact that Chairman Cupp, 11. H. Bliss, and John Jama were members of tho Knights of Labor, said to be identical with tho Molltu .Maguires of Pennsylvania. The other members of tho Committee were soft-money men, and the Knights would not act with them. The minority have drawn a report which sets forth their troubles iu Committee, and says that from the lint there was no hope of reconciliation. The minority express their belief that "We are living in and sur rounded bv a secret, perhaps dangerous, organ ization. whose number, power, and present in fluence is unknown to u».” Hie 15,0X1 National votes lu this county will not realize much with tho present divisions.

Tbc roeellug was attended by about seventy-five gtollciuen from different parts ot the State, all of whom are known as strongly opposed to the machine In politics, and consequently great atlcnllou is being paid to their doings. They met lu the parlors of the Bar State Iloosc, and beyond the representatives of the press none were ad* milled who did not bear accredited letters. There were but two set speeches, but the de bates as to bow to push aside the trading poll* tlcittos were frequent and long.

For these purposes a General Committee was appointed of two in each Congressional district to work in harmony with the Executive Com* miltco In Boston, which la in turn to work in harmony with the regular party Committees. These Vuung Republicans hold the doctrine that the issues dividing the parties during aod following the War are stmio, the Questions of to-day Iwing the currency tod Clvll-Servue reform. They set forth, further, that partv allegiance should depend upon prtn* clple, and uot on fealty to persons, and that every voter should be a politician, whiiu ofllcd holdera should bo servsuts of tlio pooplo sad not of party.
