CROWDING C.ESAR.
The following is published this
morning:
Columbia, S. C.,Dec. 2,187G.
Hi* Excellency U. S. Grant, Washington:
The democaatic members of the
lower house, sixty-five in number,
met quietly in the hall to-day with
tlieir speaker in the chair. The re
publicans , filly-nine, also assembled
there and placed their speaker on
tlie desk. Gen. Ruger proposes to
take out of the house eight members
duly elected, holding certifiates from
tho supreme court. The house is the
sole judge of tho qualifications of its
members. We propose to leave the
question to the house. These mem
bers will remain until expelled by-
force, but ivc earnestly desire a
i peaceful solution. The legislature
will not interiore with the presiden
tial electoral vote. We ask only a
constitutional legislature, peaceably
assembled to the good of the state.
Very respectively, your obedient
servant,
Wade Hampton.

mit tlieir general argument, covering
all the contested counties on Monday,
at ten o’clock, in writing. It is quite
elaborate, and is drawn with the ut
most care, and is said to be a literally
irVesistable argument. All the mass
of facts presented have been sifted
down and reduced to generalities
and the most positive principles of
law brought to bear on each case.
