Chicago, 2. Tribune's Washington: Washing-ton: There is reason to believe that the South Carolina democrats will attempt to inaugurate Hampton, even if the republicans preservo o quorum long enough to inaugurate Chamberlain. A. conllict appears inevitable. The deadlock.it is thought, will purposely continue till alter Wednesday, when the republican electors certify lo tho returns of the state. The republican lwaders here suspect that the democratic programme pro-gramme was to repeal the South Carolina law giving the people the choice of electors and returning tc tho old system, when thu legislature :chose electors. Kuger will, it is said, . receive orders to intefere only to pre-vcut pre-vcut bloodshed, allowing the demo-j demo-j era Is the asceudnncy in the legislature, legisla-ture, if they get it. It is expected thvsy will do so; that they will canvas the state vole, declare Hampton governor, and choose a democratic senator. New York, 2.
