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. I ANOTHER INELIGIBLE IN LIMBO. i Tallahassee, Fla., Dec. 3.—The ! last of tlie evidence is now before the canvassing board, and we may look for a decision of this knotty’ case ABOUT NEXT TUESDAY evening. The democrats will sub 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. Ex-Governor Brown, who bad, with Colonel Biddle, of Philadelphia, the- direction of it, says be is PERFEBTLY SATISFIED with the basis on which it rests much more so than he expected he could be. Says he, “We have tlie state fairly, and I think we shall be able to hold it. If we do not, we will show tlie American people very plainly that it does belong to us.” THE SENSATION. to-day is that the second negro* can didate for elector, Humphreys, re ceived tlie (appointment of shipping master at Pensacola some months ago, and it is said only resigned a few days since.
