The Carroll Conrify Times. EBITUT K. snun'K, E4it«r. CARROLLTON Ga , Jan 26, 1877 *Wgggg tat EL tor ORAL COUNT: W© publish iu place the fall text ot the bill reported by the ©aimnitteef of OongTega fd/f the count ing of th# electoral vote. This bill wm signed by all the members of th© eeuHniUee from the Bouse,- both Dem ounts and Republicans, and also all tha Senate committee, except Morton. The bill will no doubt be adopted by Oongresa, as the members of the com' auittfe* ffgrbeing upon it, are among the triotfi influential leaders of the two Houses; V K I bill is undoubtedly the best ft at could have been gotten np under the circumstances, though of course "»»•>t entirely satisfactary to both par ses. It will be a common ground Upon which ail can stand however, and upon which the vexed question of bow the electoral vote is to bo conn ted, ean be settled amicably. The extreme Republicans under tbe lead of Morton, don’t like it at all, and we take this fM a good sign tor the Democrats. It certainly is as fair a thing for both sides, as could have been adopted, and th© opposition to ft, will come frrrm the extreme men of both parties. The fonr Justices of the Supreme #o»rt designated iu the bill are equal ly divided in politics—two being Re publicans and two Democrats. Upon <be fifth men to be chosen by them <rin depend a great deal as he will iUMJ<*ube&dly be the odd man in the commission, that*will destrdy its po ll tiral^eqiuiKty. « TIVE SUMMARY. THURSDAY. Nothing of special importance done on this day. The nets rules of the House were adopted. Under these rules, bills after thCir first reading are referred to a committee. If dis approved by the committee they are aol read a second and third time.— The consideration of Fry’s retreuoh tnaat bill, which we published last week, was made the special order for ThlrTsdav the 25th inst. FRIDAY. A perfect fljod of bills were intro* dheed into both hon*#g on Friday, a great many bf tllCm beifig locil.— James blue, the colored member from Glenn, whose seat was contested; iVas declared entitled to his seat. Re trenchment and reform still being in brder, Trumbull of Banks, offered a resolution redtibing the number of clerks in the executive department.-- Upen rooiion of Stewart of Spauld kg a committee was appointed to boinfer with the Governor upon the matter. This motion was agreed to. •A TUKDAT. Nothing of particular Importance in the Benate. In executive session th# following appointments of the (jk>verner were confirmed: Henry E. Tompkins, judge Eastern circuit; E. H. Pottle, judge Northern circuit; Seaborn gfc'rierill North ern circuit; Alfred 13. Smith, Solicitor general Eastern circuit; Joseph W. Preston, solicitor gerlefal Ocmulgee circuit; 13. H. llill, jr.. solicitor gen eral Atlanta circuit In the House nothing of particular importance was done. monCAy. Nothing of particular importance acted upon in the Senate. There wra« a right smart discussidii upon the safety of the Capitol building, Which resulted in tlid adoption of a Veaolution to remove so much of the Slate library as may endanger the fttato Capitol. In the House the spe* cnal order bein* a bill for the calling of a constitutional convention, it was t4fcen up, Fry of Fulton opened the limit by moving to postpone the spe cial order until next Monday. The in juonwas lost.. The first section of the bill authorizing the Governor lo order an election on the seidiid Tuesday in June, 1877, for delegates U> a convention, to be held on the second Wednesday in July, in Atlan ta, was adopted. The second section prescribing the manner of the elec tion was taken up and adopted. This pule ft one delegate for 6,000 inhabi tants and constitutes each Senatorial district ftp election district. Pending the discussion bt the fourth section the House adjourned; TORst) ay. The main business of this diiy was Ibe election tor United States Sena tor, and the discussion on the Consti tutional Convention. In the consid eration of the bohverttion bill there a heated discussion over the fourth section Mr. Hillyer Submit t*d an amendment to submit the qnes lion of ‘convention’ or no ‘cooven. W’ to the people, when they vote or < elegates, which gave rise to the ailousiion. N , action was taken. [Special correspondence Carroll County Timas.] Cfrir Washington Letter. Congressional proceedings within the past week, have been quite ani mated. Both houses after the paj*slge of numerous private matters, squared themselves out for political w6fk; as will be seen by a perusal of the fol lowing: The refusal of Morto’h, to sign the report of the joint committee of the two houses, settling upon 1 a plan to Count the electoral vote which seems to be at this tirrfe satisfactory to both political parties, him with the blackest infamy. The rfinn, who would thus, strike at the life of his country in this hes hour of trouble, deserves to be immediately buried m the grave frith thfc fanatical Booth.— The bill adopted in the report of the joint cofnmittee is the great topic of conversation in political circles here, aud has monopolized all other subjects. Some few extremists of both parties express disapproval of the bill as a whole, but, it may be set down as certain that the bill will pass both brandies of Congress. When the bill was introduced the greatest eagerness was shown Dy members, in the details of the various sections.— The Senate was full the first time in many days. The curiosity of Sena tors compelled its second reading, and the galleries were hushed into cloiffe attention, while the democrats and liberal republicans, approved it with evident sigtfs of relkf. The six cutn mittee members froirf the Senate, with Morton pledged to silence, will be able to control that bodj; aud t&e House will endorse the unanimous repost of its delegates bj # large ma jority. Want of Space forbids givirfg the opinions (11 various prominent men of both houses iu this letter, will en deavor to inform your various readers in my next. Tlffe wholes/tie arrest by the hotise of President Orton and all the direc tors of the W. U. Telegraph Cos., to gether with the arrest of Gen Ander son and ex Governor Wells of the Louisiana retarding board, n this ci ty yesterday, and the sending to New Orleans for the rest of the board, will fill our jail with the prominent meffi bers of party of great moral (? ) ideits It now only remains to complete tffr list by Committing to their assdeia fion the persdrts Chandler and Mor ton. Chis City is frilly becoming quite rtltfofrned for the visits of dis tinguished individuals. Morton’s Bulldozing Uomnlitteo is actively en gaged iu Closing ip? labors, with cha* grined faces. The decision of the Florida Superior Conn, in the quo warrant case, is virtually that the Hayes’ electors had eo right to act at ail; quite a set-back for the Rads. There was an exciting time iu the Hr use, over the report of the judi ciary committee recommending the arrest of the Louisiana Returning Board; tot tiOritenipt. Frye sos Maine denied the authority of the House over the board, aud made a desperate attempt to defend the action of the board. He was driven front one weak denial to another, by Mr. Luttrell and other democrats, uutii ‘Sunset Cox’ utterly demolished him with the gen tle sarcMsm, that Mr. Frye’s argument had been efficiently' answered by Lut trell’s badinage and the ironical cheers of the gallen. ies; Garfield, attempted to cover Frye’s retreat, but was so bothered by questions Hbdul Ihb manipulations ot the Southern States by the returning board; that the galleries yelled with delight; while Mr. Hoar ended the debate by appealing to the Speaker to preserve of der. The weakness ot th© republicans was more cdnspictiotls in this debate than at any time this session, and the House will doubtless, without fufther discussion order the returning board under arrest. The Republicans are gnashing their teeth in all directions over the admis sion oi Mr. Garfield, their acknowl edged leader in the Hou«e, that rath er than go behind the certificate of a Governor, Lie was in favor of letting Mr. Tilden be dOutlted in; by the ‘Or egon Fraud,’so called by him. His adihissidil thus niadd is quite disas trous to the party; as It antagonizes the position of Morton and other 9du ators of the extreme wing ot his par ty. The republicans atd vdrV Hindi incensed against hint for yielding on tins point, aud tints repudiating the frantic efforts Os Mortort. The Cabi net still hesitates to give eoUiitfen&hee to the Packard carpet-bag govern ment iu Louisiana; but has instruct ed Attorney General Taft, to Inint up the law, hoping he may stumble over a precedent. Father Taft has always managed to stumble Against the law. General Garfield (radical) forgot to say, when he denounced the demo crats lor wanting the hetiirns of 187 G, that Morton’s committee in 1873 coin pelled the Louisiana board to produce the official election returns, but then, it makes considerable difference whose ox is gored. When the President, said ‘Let no guilty man escape’ he did uot oontem plate one of bis Cabinet officers could ?n the immediate future be confused in {he presence of i CofrifniUee ot Cbtfgress, under tie chfcrge of oenitpif fhg to cheat the.people at the ballot bOi Hi if now the casC with 7i Chandler. The House committee is subjecting Zach to the most exquisite torture.— That the trnth has to be dragged out of him by a rigid cross-examination is U h ninthatirfg feature of hrs case. Had Le done no wrong there would have been no violence to his feelings. No wonder Mr. Chandler’s cheeks blanch ed with shame when he is confront* and with the evidence of his guilt. Lonis iana, South Caroliua and Florida declared tor Tilden. Quick as thought a second campaign was resolved upon. The South Carolina plan was to be applied to Florida. A railroad train was to be wrecked, and the faithful were at once to raise the howl of Ku* klux depredations, It was* a ‘bloody shirt’ campaign with money and the army of the Federal government to back it. together with all fire inge ni* ous devices tliat desperate uren could invent. The above state of tacts have been drawn out ot this witness, Chand lor, by the committee wbo are not yet doue wiih him, and will not test until it hafi completely exposed Chandler and his guilty accomplices. Men iu high places here will be connected with Zach’s con spiracy ere the investigation! cioseS.— The committee are determined to see whether the people are not greater thau their servants. The cofnmittee have also telegrams ot Chandler’s to •how that North Carolina was at first included iu the plan ot the oouapira tofs. The proofs of this conspiracy accumulated so that the blindest par tisan can't but acknowledge the fact. Chamberlain the bogus South Car olina governor supplicated the senate through his proxy; Senator Patterson.- But the senate was so suspicious 4 of this administration 'carpet-bagger' that it preferred being bored by the reading of his lengthy appeal rathef than to take the woid of Sherman, that the petition was inoffensive to the digni ty of the Senate. The supreme folly of the Legislature of Pennsylvania, in putting that state upon a war tooting is too apparent to need comment. It the Couspirjftors are going to plav sdeh a roll, of course they must expect other states to do the same. This belligerent attitude ot the Keystone slate, will Cause New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Indiana and Maryland to follow' in its wake. Democritus. Washington, t). C.; Jan; 22; ’77. NEW SENA TORS. In several of the States, elections tor United States Senators have re cently taken place. In Tennessee where two were to be chosen, ex Gov ernot Itairls and James E Bailey were chosen. In Massachusetts iu the place of Boutwell, George F. Hoftr hiis been elected. Both Republicans. In 11 iinoie they are having quite a contest over the matter. Logan; Re publican and present senator leads, his strongest opponent being Tulmer, democrat. The Vote stood at last ac count, Logan 99, Palmer $7. Neces sary to a choice 102. THE SENA TO RIAL CONTEST. The first ballot for U. S. Senator from this State, was taken on last Tuesday by the Legislature. The vote stood No? wood iO4; Mill 87; Smith 22. Necessary to a choice 109. From the above it will be seen that the chances are decidedly in favor of Nor wood. The representatives from this Cotiii* ty and district voted for Hill. —'Flic Sunny SUiitb The last issue of the Sunny South has several new features, among which we may enumerate the follow ing: ‘Battles and Campaigns of the Army of Tennessee;’ with illustra tions; ‘Travels m Europe}’ ‘Condensa tion ot the News of the Southern States}’ General News}’ Political News;' Religious News; Communica tion b*-tWeen the North and South}’ •Weekly Review of the Markets;’ 'Farm.
