WADE HOUSE BURNED BY AN INCENDIARY. Columbia, Not. 28.—U. 8. Troops have taken poseseion of the State House, and have refused admission to the Edgefield and Laurens delega tion, they being Democrats. Wade Wampton’s house near Co lumbia, has been burned ; two young children and his sisters escaping in their night clothes. Incendiary. DEMOCRATS DISARMED, AND ROPUBLI CANS NOT. A Republican Distrusted, and Joint the Democrat*!. gen. Hampton’s speech. Colombia, 8. C., Nov. 28.—Demo cratic members before allowed to enter the State House, were required to surrender their private arms, which were promptly given up, but they were again stopped at the Hall door. The ißepubiican members were not questioned regarding their arms. Democrats who bore certificates from the board of canvassers entered the hall and found the Republicans already organized, with the Speaker in the chair and Clerk at the desk. A Democrat returned to the door but was refused egress until he threaten ed the members with prosecution for false imprisonment. Wm. H. Reddish,Republican mem ber, refused to enter the hall with Federal bayonets at the door. Red dish is now acting with the Demo-1 crats. An immense crowd gathered, when the Federalioflicer asked Gen. Hamp ton, who was in the State House, to prevent the crowd from pushing in. Hampton appeared on the front steps and r addressed the crowd as follows: “My Friends :—I am truly doing now wbat I have done earnestly dur ing this whole exciting contest—pour ing oil on the troubled waters. It is of the greatest importance to us all as citizens of South Carolina, that peace should be preserved. I appeal to you all, white men and colored, as Carolinians, to use every effort to keep down violence or turbulence. “One act of violence may precipi tate bloodshed and desolation. I im plore you then, to preserve the peace. I beg all of my friends to disporso and to leave the grounds of tho Capi tol, and I advise all of the colored men to do the same. Keep perfectly | quiet. Leave the streets and do nothing to provoke a riot. We trust to the law ami the constitution, and we have perfect faith in the justice of our cause.” The whites immediately dispersed, followed by a great many colored people. Columbia, Nov. 28.—There are only three whites in the House. The Democratic session secret. DKTAILS OF THE OUTRAGK. Protest of the Democratic Member*. Columbia, Nov. 28.—At midnight last night the State House was occu pied by the U. S. Troops. No one was allowed to enter without a pass from Mr. Jones, clerk of the late House, or Mr. Dennis, one of Cham berlain’s men. About 9 o’clock this morning, Gen. Gordon, U. S. Senator from Georgia, and Gen. Johnson, U. S. Senator of Va., with Messrs. Peek and Jeffreys, members of tho Legislature, deman ded admittance. The rotunda was filled with troops, and arms stacked around the Washington Statue. The members of the Legislature exhibi ted their certificates from the Su preme Court of their election, and tho corporal of the guard refused them admittance, under the orders of Dennis, who was standing by. The Democratic members then met in caucus, and about 11:25 p. M.,pro ced in a body to demand admittance. In the meantime, Gen. Hampton had an interview with Gen. Huger, who then changed the orders so as to allow anyone to pass the sentinels, who claimed to be elected members of the Legislature. Under this change of orders all the members are now being admitted 6lowly, as tne corpo ral of tho guard examines their cre dentials. The members arc thus ad mitted to the State House, but not to the Hall of the Senate or to that of the House of Representatives. fcThe Democratic members of the House, after gaining admission to the State House, proceeded to the door of the House, with the delega tions from Edgefield and Laurens at their head, and demanded admit tance on certificates of election taken from the records of the Su preme Court. Six soldiers were ranged on either side of the approach to the door, two officers in the cen tre. The certificates of the Edge field and Laurens delegations being presented, were declared invalid by the doorkeeper, whereupon the entire body of Democrats withdrew. They assembled in front of the State House, from the steps of which the following protest was read in the presence of the military and citizens : Columbia, S. C., Nov. 28.—We, a majority of the members of the House of Representatives of South Carolina elect, protest against the refusal to admit us to the Hall of Representatives. We protest against the military power of the United States barring the passage into the State House of members elect to the Legislature. We protest against the legality of the proceedings, and especially against the army of the United States being placed, for the purpose of this exclusion, under the command of one John B. Dennis, a partisan of Gov. Chamberlain. We protest against the said Dennis’ instructions to the guard to admit no one to the State House except on his own pass or a pass of A. O. Jones, former Clerk of the House, who may thus exclude all except his own par tisans, and who, by the Republican programme, is to organize the said House. We have presented ourselves, with the judgment of the highest Court of South Carolina, certified to by its Clerk, with the great seal of the Court attached, as to our right to participation in the organization of said House. We are refused by orders of said Dennis, admission to said hall except upon his pass, the pass of the said Jones, or the certifi cate of H. E. Hayne, Secretary of State, who Is now under condemna tion of said court for refusal to issue certificates in accordance with its judgment and mandate. In protesting against this bare faced usurpation, this trampling on the laws and Constitution of the State, this defiance of the highest tribunal of the State, it is our pur pose to offer no resististance to this armed intervention, but to make our solemn appeal to the American peo ple, without distinction of party. Our reveration for law, our respect for the Supreme Court and the usages of all legislative assemblages, forbid our participation in such unprece * dented and revolutionary proceed | ings. [Signed by all the Democratic j members.] The Democrats then proceeded to the hall over the Southern Life In surance Company’s building, where the caucus was held, which adjourned to meet at 3 f. u., at Carolina Hall. —Detroit Free Press : Victor Hugo is j now charged with stealing some of his I best things, but no one could expect a ! man like him to steal a poor thing. COLUMBUS, GA„ WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 29, 1876. THE SITUATION IN MOUTH FARO* UNA. PROGRAMME OF THE RADICALS—TROOPS TO BACK THK OARrET-B AGGERS A DEMOCRATIC PROTEST JUDGE BOND AND THE RE TURNING BOARD. Sped*! dlapatch to the Constitution.] Columbia, Nov. 27.—Grant’s order placing the troops at the disposal of Chamberlain while an organization of the legislature is being effected, took nobody here by suppriso. It is PART OF A PROGRAMME which has been developed here for several days and which was com menced to-day by Judge Bond in bringing the canvassing board into court on an application for a writ of habeas corpus. The general opinion to-night is that while Judge Bond knows ho has no jurisdiction in the matter of the board, he goes so far as to keep the case in his court and al low the members to go at large, in charge of deputy marshals. When the case is argued he will probably POCKET THE PAPERS and hold them undor advisement in definitely. Chamberlain is reticent as to the uses to which troops are to be put to-morrow. He will probably tako possession of the State-house and prevent the Democratic mem bers from Edgefield and Laurens counties, who were refused their cer tificates by the board, from taking their seats. Gen. Huger will be hero to-night, and it is believed he will no{, inter fere except to preserve tho peace. The Democrats and Republicans re fuse to disclose their PLAN OP OPERATIONS for to-morrow. Neither party can or ganize tho House without the co operation of the other, as neither has a quorum. The whole number of members in tho House is 124. Tfie Democrats, without the eight mem bers from Edgefield and Laurens, have fifty-six and the Republicans have sixty, while sixty-three is a quo rum. Tho Republicans will, how ever, act on the theory that there was no election in the counties of Laurens and Edgefield, and that as 119 is the whole number elected, 59 will be a quorum, and that they will have sixty members and the Demo crats fifty-six, with from tho Secrotary of State. IN THIS WAY they muyproceed to organize, electa speaker, canvass tho returns and de clare Chamberlain Governor, who would have a majority of Votes in the State, with Edgefield and Laurens thrown out. The Republicans will probably ignore the certificates is sued to the members of these coun ties by the Supreme Court. ANOTHER DISPATCH. Columbia, 8. C., Nov. 27,3 :25 r. m.— Judge Bond brought out the State Board on a habeas corpus and turned them over to the United States Mar shal till Wednesday. This is but a part of the programme for to-mor row. There is little doubt that Chamberlain will attempt the organ ization of the Legislature, and that tho United Stateß army . will bo placed at his disposal. The Durell and Kellogg game seems to bo deci ded on here. No excuse will exist for use of the army and the Legisla ture will be broken up, if broken up at all, without any violence on the part of the Democrats. J. B. G. IMPORTANT COUUEMFONDENCF,. Mr. Hewitt Asks Chlel-Justlr** Waite to fio to Columbia. WAITE DECLINES. New York, November 27. Hon. Morrison R. Waite, Chief-Jus tice of United States, Washington. I am satisfied that your immediate presence at Columbia, at this junc ture may save the country from very serious complications. I hope you will see your way clear to go. (Signed) Abram 8. Hewitt. Chairman National Democratic Com mittee. To which the following reply has been received: Washington, D. C., Nov. 27. To the Hon. Abram S. Hewitt, Chair man, etc: Business of the Supreme Court re quires my presence here, M. R. Waite. LOUISIANA. AN EFFORT TO RET THE RETURNS. New Orleans. Nov. 28.— Usual at tendance. General Anderson made another personal explanation. Judge Spoffard suggested that the board should Issue peremptory or der to the supervisors to return cer tain parishes. They are largely Dem ocratic. Wells said the supervisors were en tirely independent of the board and if the returns are not here they can not be counted. Mr. Gauthrieaux asked if certfled copies in the districtt courts could not be produced as the law provided for the us© of these copies when the original returns were lost or could not be prepared. Gov. Wells said that he had already ruled on the point, and thought it was necessary to say more about it. , The copies would not be received. Mr. Gauthrieux and Judge Spoffard urged the necessity of ordering Su pervisors to make their returns. Gov. Wells replied t hat ho would give an order, if the returns were not produced by Wednesday. FLORIDA. THK RADICAL*! CLAIM A MAJORITY Tallahassee, Nov. 28.—Tho board met at 10 o’clock. Present: the gen tlemen heretofore reported. Tho face of the returns show's Hayes 7,460, Tilden 7,41 R -Republican majority 42. Tho Republicans give notice of contest, in 19 counties, Democrats in 9. Dade county, not in, will not go 25 either way. The Democrats claim 23 votes in Clay county, which evident ly were omitted, and thus conceded, leaving the Republican majority 19. There are two returns from Baker 3ounty, the first giving 94 Democratic second 41 Republican majority. The last and latest is signed by the judge and sheriff, but not by the clerk, and the difference is made by throwing out several Deiuocratio precincts. Adjourned to four o’clock. THE FLORIDA BUSINESS. MEETING OF THE STATE RETURNING BOARD—A PROTEST AGAINST JUDGE COCKE—THE OUTLOOK MORE HOPEFUL. Speoitl to tho ConititutioD.] Tallahassee, Fla., N0v. 27. Avery important rumor is afloat this morning, stating that the sud-, den abandonment of the injunction and mandamus cases by the Republi cans before they were decided, was caused by the UNEXPECTED ACTION OF MR. COWGILL, one of the Republican members of the Board, who announced on Friday night last that he had determined to join Judge Cocke in demanding the immediate assembling of the Board. This settled the matter, and the Re publicans accepted the situation by a prompt back down. The Demo crats are jubilant over tho unexpect ed bolt of the Comptroller from the Radical programme, and have great hope that ho will stand stiff all through the tight. It is certain that nfter Mr. Cowgill had announced his determination to outside parties to call the Board together, THE GOVERNOR AND HIS GANG did not suspect it, and were confi dently asserting that the board would not meet for several days. There are good reasons for saying that the Democratic outlook is much brighter to-day than ever before. The pro ceedings of the board in its short ses sion to-day will be wired you in the press reports. Ex-Governor Brown will be chosen as one of the Demo crats to attend the sessions of the board. The Republicans claim FORTY-SIX MAJORITY FOR HAYES on the face of the votes, but they will not get it. Even including the 219 Alachua votes, fraudulent on their face, the Tilden majority will be over 100, probably 150. This allows all frauds of the Republicans. H. W. G. THE EUROPEAN SITUATION. London, Nov. 28.—Thos. Carlyle writes to a friend on the Eastern question, endorsing Gladstone’s proposition expelling governing Turkish classes from Europe. London, Nov. 27.—A speoial dis patch from Berlin to the News says: There are contradictory reports as to the formation of a Russian array on the Vistular. My own information, despite denials, is that a Vistular army is being organized and will be commanded by the Hereditary Grand Duke with headquarters at a town in Poland, forty-two miles southwest of Warsaw. A Paris correspondent of tho Times, discussing the prospects of the conference at Constantinople, says : People even affirm that the Marquis of Salisbury, though on principle opposed to foreign occupa tion, has not an absolute predeter mination even on that point. He will discuss with an unbiased mind the question of n collective occupa tion within limits which can’t alarm tho Porte nor excite the suspicions of any power. The Times’ leading article also openly favors the collective occupa tion. It says that the occupying forces should, in the case of each province, bo procured from some power which can’t be suspected of harboring any design upon the prov inces in which it is placed. ' No objec tion could be raised to this as long as tho force furnished is trustworthy and sufficient. The jealousness of the guaranteeing powers and antipa thy of the Porto may be allayed by tho adoption of this salutary princi ple. A special dispatch from Berlin to the Times, announces that Grand Duke, Michael Meiosrith, Jr., and General Skabeliff, will accompany the Grand Duke Nicholas, to head quarters of the army in southern Russia. _ Cabinet Meeting. Washington, Nov. 28.—Full Cabi net, except Robeson—Senators Mor ton, West 1 , Gen. Sickles and Caleb Cushing interviewed the President. Whither Are We Drifting 7 The Philadelphia Times has receiv ed scores of letters from anxious men of both political parties, asking for firivato advices as to tho probable so utlon of tho troubles in Florida and Louisiana, and as to the effect of tho declared result for President on tho business of the country. The follow ing, from an intelligent Republican of the interior of the State, is a fair sample of many of like tenor: To the Editor of the Times: Will there be war? The Washington correspondent of tho New York Tribune writes a letter headed “A Perilous Time,” that is calculated to alarm business men: ami I confess that I am much perplexed as to how to act in transactions which, to me, are important. Do you think that trouble is probable, and If so, how can wo escapo it ? THE TIMES’ ANSWER. “First—There will bo no war. Thero are many reasons which forbid it, even if there was actual danger of it; but the one reason that puts it at rest Is that the men who bluster about war are not the men who have fought in the past, or who would fight in the future. Those who chatter about war now speak for nobody but them selves. “Second—lt is possible that the re turning boards of Florida and Louis iana may yet voluntarily do what the returning board of South Carolina was told to do by tho peremptory mandate of a Republican Conrt—that is, count the vote as the people voted, or honestly exercise their limited powers in the revision of the returns. In that ease we believe that Mr. Til den will be declared elected, and there will bo renewed faith in free government,strengthened confidence in business circles, and the whole country, outside of office-holders, will rejoice that the law and the popular will havo been sacredly re spected. “Third—lf the votes of Florida and Louisiana can be given to Hayes upon such showing to the Amerioan peo ple as will make it reasonably prob able that the form of law that de clares him elected is in accord with tho honestly expressed wishes of those States, thero will be not only general, but cordial acquiescence iu tho result; Governor Hayes will be supported by the wholo people of every section and business confidence will be speedily restored. "Fourth—lf Gov. Hayes shall be returned as elected by what now seems to be tho only means of doing so—by the violent and entirely un warranted rejection of the vote of the people of Louisiana and Florida, or either—there will not be peace, but there will not be war. All doubts will be resolved bv tho candid men of all parties iu the return that may be made, and no more partlzan com plaints will be heeded after tho de cision shall have been rendered; but if that decision shall bo regarded by the dispassionate judgment of the na tion as a fraud that seeks to assert itself in tho highest sanctuary of our free institutions, the pall of doubt, uncertainty and insecurity will be thrown upon the country. “Fifth—There will be resistance within the law to palpable fraud that comes in the name of the law that it deforms and prostitutes. So far from turbulence or war following, there will be the dreadful unrest that will test, and searchingly test, the integrity of the people and the omni potence of their laws, iu defense of their most sacred rights. There will boa terrible calm in every channel of trade and thrift until the Presi dential vote shall be counted, and reckless politicians and pretenders will fatten on the perils of the Re public. When the vote is to be final ly counted and declared, there will boa fierce legal battle, a separation of the two branches of the National Legislature, and two claimants for the Presidency, each with a plausi ble imperfect commission. Then unother standstill will cloud indus try, commerce and trade until the 4th of March, when having sown in dishonor, we shall reap its inevita ble and fruitful harvest of humila tion. “Sixth -It is impossible to look be yond the 4th of March with any de gree of confidenco as to immediate results. The gravest problem of mod ern civilization would then be pre sented for solution. We discard the flippant suggestions as to a pretend er assuming the reins of authority on the plea of averting anarchy, or that any government is better than none. President Grant certainly could not, if he would, and we be hove that he would not if he could, assume dictatorial power in case of a disputed election, and the absence of a duly recognized administration. There would bo the severest strain upon the power of self-government to preserve itself, and both national and business credit would be impair ed to an extent that must produce widespread bankruptcy; but there would be no violence; no war. The stagnation of death would settle on tho country until the supreme tribu nal of enlightened and patriotic pub lic opinion can be equal to the task of re-enthrouing justice and law as the jewels of our authority. “Seventh—We do not, and shall not, despair of the resources of the greatest people of the earth to pre serve their institutions in this the severest of its trials. They will rise above the struggles of placemen when the time for action comes, and the mean partisans who would crawl or climb into power for the spoiler’s thrift, will learn, as the publio peril increases, how brave and how honest are the American people, and how imperious aro their decrees when they must grapple with those who would destroy the temple of free government in their greed to plun der its treasures. They must, in the calm omnipotence of their sovereign will, t-eaoh the Senate and the House and those who can draw the sword, and those who would invoke disorder and strife, that right is the might of the nation. Tho struggle may be long or it may be short; it may call for countless sacrifice in credit and present prosperity, but when the is i sue shall be reached, all people of all sections and parties will be taught . never to despair of the Republic. ■ The Weather To-Day. Washington, Nov. 28.—For the South Atlantic and Eastern Gulf j States increasing cooler northeast to i northwest winds, rising barometer i and cloudy weather following, rains | will prevail. The Oregon Ineligible. San Francisco, Nov. 28.—A dispatch from Portland says the Democrats have taken no steps to enjoin Gov. Graner from issuing a certificate to Postmaster Watts. How the Mouth Carolina Hoard or Can vaaneri Carried the Ntate for Hayed. A Washington dlspatoh of the 22d instant to the New York Sun says: A stenographer who was present daring the first two days’session of the South Carolina Canvassing Board and reported its proceedings, has shown to me in tabulated form the result of the canvass of tho re turns of the five counties wherein the precinot returns were the basis of the Board’s action. Tho officers of the elections make their returns to the County Commissioners, and the duty of these officers is to tabu late the precinct returns, aggregate them anu forward the same, with the returns of the precinct election offi cers, to the Canvassing Board. When tho Canvassing Board began its work under the order of the Court it took up the precinct returns and went over tho vote of each oounty. In this way it was found that there were discrepancies betweon the totals of the precinct managers and the County Commissioners. The sole duty of the last named officers is to aggregate tho precinct returns—a simple clericalduty. It was ascertained that in the five counties canvassed by the State Board, the county commissioners had made grave errors. In some instan ces they made the Democratic vote greater than the precinct returns made it, but they always made the Republican vote larger, so that the latter gained in the long run. In the five eouties canvassed by the pre cincts, the Democrats had 941 more votes for the Electoral ticket than the commissioners’ returns gave them. At this point the Canvassing Board took a recess or adjourned, and when it re-assembled it resolved to go on with the returns of the oonn ty commissioners only, and by this the Hayes electors aro elected by an average of 871 J. What the counsel for the Demo crats asked tho Supreme Court to do was to compel the Canvassing Board to tako tho precinct returns as a basis of their action. They say that as the duties of the County Commissioners aro only clerical, tho Canvassing Board should verify their returns by comparison with the precinct re turns. There is no other way of de termining tho accuracy of their work. If this comparison is made, and tho precinct returns aro taken as evi dence of the votes cast, tho Tilden Electors are undoubtedly elected. The object of having the precinot re turns forwarded to tho Canvassing Board by the County Commissioners was undoubtedly to prevent frauds by the latter. It is just like requiring an officer who makes a monthly or quarterly return of his account to accompany it with the vouchers. From tlio N. Y, Sun, Not. 24. J Where the Pinch Comes- ONF, RESULT OF THE ATTEMPT TO COUNT OUT TILDEN —DEPRESSION OF BUSI NESS IN NEW YORK—WHOLESALF. DISCHARGE OF EMPLOYEES — TAKING THE BREAD OUT OF THE POOR MAN’S MOUTH. One of the most distressing features of this political uncertainty is its indirect ef fect upon the working men and women of this city. Merchants and manufacturers were encouraged early in the Fall by a temporary revival of trade. It soon be came evident, however, that the rule of business depression during heated politcal contests was to hold good, and they again possessed their souls with patience to await the popular verdict. When the popular majorities seemed to assure the election of Gov. Tilden, the mercantile countenance brightened. For a few days the sidewalks were made nearly impassible by piles of goods packages awaiting ship ment, and clerks and salesmen found pleasanter occupation than sitting around whistling for business. This happy condition of affairs lasted only until it became clear that there was to be an attempt to count in the defeated candidate. Then the customary saluta tion, “How’s trade ?” was answered, “There is none. It’s not flat—it’s dead.” Merchants and manufacturers settled back into the conviction that they would have to wait at least another three months be fore they could hope to turn their stocks. The only trades that have escaped this general stagnation are leather and bread stuffs, and these owe their exceptional goocyortune to those prospects of Euro pean war. Other tradesmen, compelled to take in sail, have discharged all employeess not absolutely indispensable. The result is that thousands of men and women, whose efforts at the best yielded them but a meagre living, are now thrown out of work and hopeless of getting |any. A Sun reporter, by diligent inquiry among the business houses, has been able to ap proximate the number of sufferers from this result of political dishonesty. A CURIOUS WILL CASE. DID THE FATHER OR HIS CHILDREN DIE FIRST ON THE SCHILLER? Mrs. Elizabeth M. Walter, who in herited a large amount of property from her father, died October 7, 1870, leaving a will which provided for three trusts, two for $15,000 for each of her children during their lives, with remainder over to their heirs, and with reversion first to her hus band and then to her father’s rela tives. Another trust was for $30,000 the benefit of her husband during his life, with remainder to her chil dren and reversion over to her father’s relatives. In may, 1875, in the wreck of the steamship Schiller, her mother, aged sixty-nine, her hus band, aged forty-five, and her two children, aged seven and nine, were all lost. It so happens that under the will four different means of dis tribution may be adopted, according as it may bo decided that one or the other of these parties drowned on the Schiller survived the others. If the children died last, they became entitled absolutely to the property, and their heirs go into possession. If the husband died last, he was heir of his children, and nis heirs are entitled to the property, ir the mother died last, and the husband first, she became heir of her grand children, and her heirs take it; and, lastly, if all died together, the rever sioners secure it. A suit now on trial before Judge Van Vorst raises the question whether there is any law as to which it can be decided that one died before the other. — N. Y.
