Republican Senators Acting with Democrats. The Military StUl I fold In* the Fort. KadicaN Admit Bogus Member* from Barnwell. Washington, Nov. 29.— A Herald special from Columbia says three Re publican Senators will vote with the Democrats, making a dead lock Id that body. Three excluded Demo crats from Edgefield and Laurens have a good chance for admission. The Democratic House apfointed a committee to inform the Senate that the House was organized and ready for business; also appointed a committee to obtain returns for State officers. Charleston, Nov. 29.— The Repub lican House was without a quorum in the morning. The Senate is discussing the con current resolution, passed by the House yesterday, to go into a canvass for State officers. The Democratic House is in secret session. The Secretary of State replied to the committee that he had surren dered the election returns to Mackey, Speaker of the Republican House. The military still garrison the State HoU36. The Supreme Court met and ad journed without transacting any bu siness. Lawyers are being engaged mak ing returns to the habeas corpus case of the Board of Canvassers before Judge Bond of tho U. S. Circuit Court. The Sergeant-at-Arms of the Re publican House is engaged in look ing up alraentees, without success so far. LATER. A missing member was brought in giving the Republican House D9; whereupon the Committee on Elec tions appointed yesterday submitted a report seating five Republican members from Barnwell county. The Senate, which seems to be recognized by both houses, adopted a resolution appointing 12 o’clock Friday to commence the canvass of votes for State officers, and adjourned to that time. FLORIDA. A Pallet Report of Tuesday’s Work. HOW THE RADI ('A EM POT IX A FALSE RETKRX FROM RAKER. Special Dispatch to the Constitution.} Tallahassee, Nov. 27.— T0-day has been the field day of the campaign. It was ascertained this morning that the Republicans were claiming a cer tain majority for Hayes, The Dem ocrats were unable to suspect where the fraud by which they were going to reverse the Tilden majority with would be procured. They examined all their' official returns carefully and figured tip a majority of 129 for Tilden, after giving the Radicals eve ry contested vote. When the board met it was discovered that the re turns of the very second county (call ed Baker) had been doctored. The duplicate of the official returns in this Democrats’ hands showed that it was Democratic by 95 majority. When it was read out from the re turn it gave 41 Republican majority. Then the Democrats rose up and talked out in the meeting. They protested against the count and the board adjourned for dinner. The bo gus return from Baker made a change of 136 votes and gave the State to Hayes by 36 majority. The excitement ran high at dinner and in the evening Mr. Pasco, for the Democrats, arose and charged that the chairman of the Board had received a return from Baker differ ent from the one he had read, and that he had illegally suppressed it. After a short but bitter discussion, in which Pasco pressed him merci lessly, he confessed that he had re ceived such a return. Pasco then demanded that it be read to the board. After another shark spat this was done under much confusion. The original returns give Tilden 95 majority and elects his electors by 135 majority. The victory is a splen did one, and will stand, and now when you want to write a bright and brightening name, write "Pasco.” h. w. a. IIATHER THIN. TRYING TO DISQUALIFY DEMOCRATIC ELECTORS. New York, Nov. 28.— The Post’s Washington special says, as the re sult of a partial investigation by members of the National Republican Committee, 5 Democratic Electors are found in their opinion to be dis qualified. Of this number Frost, of Missouri, and Wickliffo, of Louisi ana, are disqualified, becauso their disabilities have not been removed, they having participated in the re bellion. The other three are dis qualified by holding Federal offices, unless they resign, and according to the orders of At torney General Taft these be come eligible. Of these three two are United States Commissioners from New Jersey and North Caroli na, and the third is aU. S. Commis sioner for the Centennial Exhibi tion from Virginia. The Post says a special from Tren ton, New Jersey', says at a meeting of the State Board of Canvassers this evening a protest was presented against granting of certificate to Benjamin Williamson, as Elector, on the ground of illegibility, as he is a United States Commissioner. The decision has not yet been reached. The I'olltlcal situation, ait l iiclcmtood at Washington. Washington, Nov. 29.—The situa tion this morning is thu9 viewed : The Postmaster question in Oregon is undecided. Florida hangs on two returns from Baker county—the first, regular, giv ing the State to Tilden; the last, irregular, giving the State to Hayes, with 29 other counties questioned. There are two lower Houses at Co lumbia-one composed of 01 Demo crats and 2 Republicans; the other of 58 Republicans. There are pendiug before Judge Bond the habeas coiyus in favor of the Canvassers committed by the Su preme State Court for contempt, and before the Supreme Court of the State a rule for counting the Electoral vote. The main question before tho Lou isiana Returning Board seems to be how not to get returns. TELKOKAFIHI: .IHHAKT, Washington, Nov. 29.— The De partments generally will be closed at noon till Friday. Secretary Robeson has returned. The President is busy with his mes sage. He only admitted Attorney General Taft. Lieut. John A.

The village contains 200 lodges and five hundred warriors. The camp was at war dance when McKenzie attacked it. The Indians took to rocks, where it was difficult to dislodge them. We are camping on the battle field, though hostile guns are flashing from behind. The Indians (friendly) behaved well in the charge, but afterwards became indifferent to anything but plunder. We captured 250 ponies, and killed twenty Indians; lost a lieutenant, corporal and private killed, and quite a number wounded.” ALABAMA'S SENATOR. The Two Houses Confirm €4en. Mo***cn # * JElectlon.

Washington, Nov. 29.—A special to the New York Post says that two Hayes Electors will not accept cer tificates from Chamberlain, of South Carolina. French Politic*. Paris, Nov. 29.—Du Favro, Presi dent of the Council, ex-Miuister of Justice and Worship, has experienced another defeat in the Chamber of Deputies’ Budget for Public Worship —a grant for the Canmeleh School, which he supported, being defeated by 339 to 155. A vote on the grant, for clerical scholarship, on which, ac cording to some accounts, M. Du Favre possibly stakes his portfolio, was not reached during yesterday’s sitting. Tho Government, on the question of burial of members of the Legion of Honor, have offered to make fur ther concessions, but as their propo sals would still retain religious dis tinction, the Committee will proba bly reject them. ALABAMA LKVINLATI *E. Tuesday, 28f/i—ln the Berate, Mr. Wilson introduced a bill to define and limit the number of counties composing the Eastern Chancery Division. Mr. Little, from Judiciary Committee, roported favorably to abolish the county court of Dallas county. On motion Mr. Harrison the bill was so amended as to include the county court of Lee, and. as amended, the bill passed. On the call of the counties in tho House, the following bills wero pre sented : Mr. Booth, to protect minor heirs in this State. Mr. McKleroy, to enable judges of circuit courts more promptly to dis pose of business. Also, a joint resolution suspending section 6 of article 13, of the Consti tution, fora limited timo. Mr. Hubbard, to reduce the rate of taxation on property to fifty cents on the one hundred dollars of the value thereof, and at that rate for state pur poses. Mr. Herndon, from Judiciary Com mittee, reported back resolution to call in SIOO,OOO of large bills of State obligations and issue small bills in lieu thereof, and requested its refer ence to the Finance Committee;so referred. Mr. Goldthwaite, from Committee on Fees and Salaries, reported favor ably on Senate bill repealing the act in relation to the fine and forfeiture fund of Tuskaioosa county, so far as relates to Chambers, Barbour, Choc taw and Etowah counties ; passed. The two Houses voted separately for U. S. Senator. In the Senate, the vote stood—Morgan 28, Rice 4. In the House—Morgan 81, Rice 14, Woodruff 1. Usually people prefer to have an honest man count votes, and usually they prefer not to trust it to one man, no matter how honest, and feel safer when there are half a dozen men to watch one another. But here is some Republican testimony to the honesty of Governor Stearns, of Florida, who lately proposed to be the sole judge of the way in which the Elec toral vote of that State shall be cast. It is from a speech delivered by Con gressman Purman, Republican, in the House, six months ago: “It was then well known and substantiated that while this now acting Governor was agent of tho Freedman’s Bureau in the State, he swindled the freed men out of quantities of provisions which the Government charitably contributed, in those unsettled days, to keep from starvation the then newly freed people, a portion or quantity of which he from time to time sold for money to the planters, thus shamefully swindling both a be neficent Government and tho deserv ing and suffering objects of this be neficent kindness. This record was too damaging for him to obtain the coveted nomination of Governor, but by some injudicious compromise ho was at that time nominated for Lieu tenant Governor.” ' m —■——■ ----- —- The Columbia (S. C.) Bejister, a Democratic paper, pays tho follow ing compliment to the negroSupreme Judge: f ‘ln the election cases pend ing before the Supreme Court, the conduct of Associate Justice Wright has been such as to entitle him to the commendation of all lovers of justice. The Associate Justice has generally been extremely reticent while causes were being heard before the Supreme Court, and hence has given the pub lic very little material upon which to base an opinion. In these cases, however, he has been outspoken; and in every instance where he has so done, he has exhibited a clear headedness and judicial independ ence highly creditable to. and com mendable in, any Judge, and worthy of one occupying his nigh position.” MASSACRE OF THE ALAMO. The recent dentil of Santa Anna recall* t mind the early struggles of the infant repub lic of Texas, when her Houstons, her Crock etts, her Lamars, hrr Travises and her Bur nets were battling against fearful odds for the liberty and independence of the young American settlement. Under the leadership of these gallant men, fifty thousand Texans, without organization, without a regular army, navy, national credit, or even nat onal recognition, carried on a war with eight millions of people, possessing almost unlim ited control of men, money and material, and commanded by able leaders, with Santa anna at their head. The war was long, and many times doubtful, presenting many in stances of heroic effort, brilliant triumph and glorious martyrdom. The brutal,cowardly murder of Colonel Fannin’s command, the victory of San Jacinto, and the massacre of the Alamo constitu'ed thrilling chapters in the record of the young republic’s aebiev ments. Few of these incidents possess a more tragical interest than the event known as the "Massacre of the Alamo.” The de tails. however, of this bloody catastrophe are meager and unsatisfactory. Two of the ili-lated garrison only survived the horrors of the massacre, and their narratives, with the reluctant admission made by the Mexi can butchers, are all that has come down to us to give us the story of the brave men’s martyrdom. It was the aim of the Mexican tyrant to place the seal of death upon the lips of his unhappy captives, fully intending that not one should live to tell the bloody story. In Januaay, 1836. Santa Anna, with a large army, commenced the invasion ol the territory of the rebellious Slate. The little settlement hastily called the volunteers to gether to meet the threatened danger. Col. I Travis, with a detachment of picked men, I was sent forward to the town of San Anto nio to watch the movement and retard the advance of the enemy. The Colonel had just arrived at his post and disposed of his men for the night, when his pickets were violently attacked by the Mexicans and driven in. A brief reconnoissanee convinced Colonel Travis that his enemy was vastly superior in numbers, and he accordingly withdrew his little force into a strong stone building in the outskirts of the town, known as the Alamo. This building was construc'ed by the Jesuits to serve the double purpose of a fort and church, and was exceedingly well calculated for an obstinate defense. Its walls were of stone, 160 feet long and 120 feet wide, and fourteen small peicts of artil ery defended ils approaches. The place was supplied with water by two aqueducts which led from the San Antonio river to the interior of the works. It was in this inclosure that Colonel Tra vis withdrew his little army and awaited the Mexican attack. In the meantime the men were employed in strengthening the fortifi cation, throwing up new works, and practi cing the artillery, which was so successful that the gunners obtained a perfect range of every foot of ground commanded by their guns. Colonel Travis, however, felt the insuffi ciency in numbers, and resolved to call for aid. He therefore prepared a stirring ap peal, which a trusty scout carried safely over the Mexican lines and published in the American newspabers. In the meantime the Mexican army drew three lines of investment closer around the little fort. Fresh troops were pouring into his camps, new batteries sprung up in every direction, and a cordon ol offensive works nearly encircled the doomed garrison. The bombardment was constant, and grew more furious every hour as batteries multiplied and new guns were placed in position. Travis continued to send scouts through the enemy’s line with the address, and on the morning of the first of March, Captain John W. Smith, with thirty-two men, cut his way through the Mexican lines and joiued the garrison, which inceased the effective foice to one hundred and eighty men. Day after day. without an hour’s cessation, the Mexican artillery thundered upon the little fort. An assault was daily threateded, and the little garrison was kept constantly under arms, ready to repel any attack, and theexposure told fearfully upon its strength. Soon the stoutest heart began to realize that defeat and destruction were inevitable. The Mexicans had hoisted the black flag as an assurance that no quarter would be given, but not a man quailed, each resolving to die as became a Texan patriot. On the fifth of March Colonel Travis ad dressed a last appeal to the country, and sent it through the Mexican lines under coverof darkness. He said: q am still here in as fine spirits as could be expected, with one hundred and eighty men. 1 have held the place for ten days against more than thirty times our number, and I will continue to hold it until 1 get re lief from my countrymen, or will perish in the defense. The black flag which is borne by the enemy gives token that the fight is to be one of extermination against rebels.’ This address had been prepared early iu the evening, approved by all the officers, a number 6f copies made, and one of the most skillful riders in the commaud had volun teered to carry it through the enemy’s lines. The night was dark, and a thrillingfim-m of rain arid sleet was falling, when'the courier mounted, and gave the parting words to his comrades, Colonel Travis standing beside him, with folded arms, looking steadily to th:> right, where the long lines of Mexican camp fires blazed in darkness. ‘Good-by!’cried the messenger, as he pres sed the flanks ol his horses, and bounded away. ‘Wait a moment,’ cried Colonel Travis, suddenly awakening from his reverie. ‘Wait a moment. I want to send one more letter.' He sat down and rapidly wrote a brief letter to an intimate friend, setting forth their desperate condition, the danger of mas sacre, and closed with this message: ‘Take care of my little boy. If the coun try is saved, and I survive the present peril, I may yet make him a splendid fortune; but if the country should be lost, and I should perish, ite will have nothing left but the proud recollection that he is the son of a man who died for his country.’ These were the last words ever written by the gallant Colonel, and the letter was for many years cherished by the orphaned boy as one of the most valued relies of his la mented parent. Meanwhile the bombardment was progres sing but slowly, and the Mexicans grew im patient. Their overwhelming strength, the weakness and exhaustion of the garrison, and their greed for speedy revenge, prompted an immediate assault, and Sunday, March 6th, 1836, was chosen as the day for carrying the purpose into execution. The unusual activity in the Mexican camp attracted the attention of Colonel Travis at an early hour in the morning, and he at once concluded that an assault was intended. The little garrison was stationed in the most advantageous manner possible, and the Colonel delivered a stirring address, exhor ting them all to do their duty,* and die as became a people worthy to be free. The men responded with cheers, amf held a hurried consultation, at which it was unan- imously agreed to fight until the last man and when no further resistance was possible, it was agreed that the survivor should fire the magazine and all perish together. At sunrise the enemy swarmed out from behind their works, and the long lines of as suult formed almost within musket range of the walls of the Alamo, and completely en veloping the little fortification. The cavalry was formed iu the rear of the infantry, with drawn sabres, and orders to cut down all who faltered in ihe advance. Under cover of a heavy fire from their batteries, the dark columns moved forward to the assault four thousand against one hundred and eighty! On, on, came the dark lines, a steady fire of musketry flashing from their ranks; hut the silence of death reigned within the Al amo. Ammunition was scarce, and the brave defenders were instructed to waste few shots; but when the enemy came within easy range, the artillery, charged to the muz zle with grape, opened upon them, and the unarrring rifles ol the Texans poured a tor rent of bullets into the midst of the advan cing troops. These murderous discharges tore through their ranks, sweeping down whole compa nies at every discharge. The dead encumbered the path of the ad vancing column, but urged on by the re morseless cavalay behind, the bleeding lines stumbled over dead and dying, and reached the very foot of the walls. But the nearer they came, the more ueadly became the ef fect of the Texans' fire, and the slaughter increased, until, despite the cavalry in their rear, they broke and fled in confusion to their camps. Santa Anna now hastened to the field in person, reformed the beaten columns, and they were again driven forward, only to be again hurled back with frightful slaughter. As the storming ertlumn fell back, the ex hausted Texans ceased their fire, and for some minutes a painful silence rested on the bloody field, broken only by the means oi the wounded men, who lay thick upon the ground without, over which the assailing column had passed. It was fondly hoped by the besieged gar. rison that the fiercest of the struggle was over, but they were disappointed. The voice of command was soon heard from the Mex ican lines, officers were seen hurrying to and li o, gathering the remnants of their bea ten regiments, and the nearly exhausted garrison prepared for a final struggle. Success was almost hopeless. The excite ment and exertion had left them weak, pros trated, several of their best men had fallen, and but a few rounds of ammunition re mained. But their firmness was unshaken. They removed the dead, provided as best they could for the wounded, and then re newed their pledge to stand by each other to the last, anil never surrender While a gin gle defender remained. On came the dark lines of the enemy, driven forward as before, by the remorseless cavalry, and the threats and entreaties ol their officers. It was the third and final as sault. 'lhey struggled through the same storm of bullets, only less severe, as the number of brave men had been sadly reduced; but the yawning gaps were quickly closed up, the living pressed forward to fill the space of the dead, and the terrible column swept, to the very foot ot the wait. With a shout of exultation, fuller of venge ful hate than the whoop of an American savage, they planted the scaling ladders, and, maddened with excitement and frenzy, swarmed over tha fortifications upon the struggling patriots, and commenced the butchery. There was no giving way, no steps back ward, no cry for quarter. Though as one to ten, they continued the fight with clubbed muskets, and died shouting for Texas. The brave Colonel Travis was almost the first to tall after an entrance was effected. ‘God save my country, and bless my boy,’ were the last words he utteied. The death work was rapid, and in five minutes scarcely a dozen Texans were left alive. Seeing this, Major Evans hastened with a lighted torch to fire the magazine as had been previously arranged. He reached the spot, and was on the poinf of applying the torch, when he was riddled with bullets. The half dozen who now remained vvereover powered, disarmed, and the capture of the Alamo was complete. The bound captives were carried into the presence of Santa Anna, who heaped upon them every conceivable insult, and finally ordered them to he taken outside the camp and murdered. Among the prisoners was the celebrated David Crockett, who was cap tured with his celebrated rifle,‘Betsy,’which had been the gift of a club of Philadelphia. The order was brutally executed, and Mrs. Dickinson, wife of Lieutenant Dickinson, one of the officers, her infant child, a ser vant of Colonel Travis, and two Mexican women who were employed by the garrison, were all who remained of the one hundred and eighty who had fought so gallantly for Texan liberty. But they were not unaven ged, for before the walls lay the bodies of five hundred and twenty of the enemy, while eight hundred and fifty more lay wounded in their camps. Thus fell the Alamo. In two hours from the first signal of assault, all was over. It was Santa Arina’s last triumph over Texas, for in less than two months General Hous ton won the battle ofSan Jacinto, and the Mexican butcher came a trembling captive into the patriot camp to beg for the prolon gation of a life his crimes had many times forfeited. In the churchyard of San Antonio is a plain small granite stone, erected by private parties, bearing the inscription: ‘Sacred to the memory of those who fell at the massa cre of the Alamo.’ A Fearful Heath The Indian Standard says: “After very many years there was an execution at Lucknow on Tuesday, the 29th ult. A Moulvie of some little repute paid the last penalty of the law. He was convict ed of a most brutal act of murder, albeit lot committed by bis own hands, but through means the most revolting to hu manity, and was sentenced to death. He kept a small school, and one of the boys who had been absent for two or three days, on coming to scholl was locked up by him in a small room. In this room a snake had been seen days previously, but was not killed. A little while after the boys incarceration he called out “A snake! a snake!” and implored the Moulvie to open the door. ‘Oh I’ he said, ‘open the door and see for yourself—for Mahomed Russool’s sake open the door.’ The Moulvie would do nothing of the kind. At last the poor boy was bitten in several places in the ankle, and he called ‘Ol no w that I have been bitten, open the door.’ The Moulvie was inexorable—he would not open the door. About mid-day the father of the boy came to the school and inquired for bis son—and inquired why be bad not come home for his usual meal. The Moulvie said; “I have coutined him for his ahsense.” ‘Well,’said the father, ‘release him now.’ The door was then opened and the corpse of the lad twelve years old, the only child of his parents, was the sad and shocking sight which presented itself, with the snake coiled near his neck.” FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

It consists simply of a stout netting spread over a wagon bed and swung upon iron stanchions. The legs of the animals pass through the meshes of the netting; they cannot rise from it, and are transported securely and without suffering. The inventor asserts that his contrivance does away with the necessity of tying the animals, and al low them to be free and enjoy plenty of air—-thus avoiding all danger of smother ing or wounding—and also prevents the pain which follows trying and stoppage of the circulation. It is alleged that even hogs will not attempt to break through the netting and that it can he made to secure them as effectually as a board pen. Gen. Custer’s camp pet during the last Yellowstone campaign was a famous dog which had been given him by a Bismarck Judge. Ten days after the massacre on the Little Big Horn the dog returned to Fort Lincoln, a distance of five hundred miles, in search of his master. LAWYERS. REESE CRAWFORD. J. M. McNEILL.
