TWO REPUBLICANS WITH THE DEMO

Columbia, S. G., November 30. —
Tlio Democractic House took placa
ble possession of the State Legisla

veuiug, at. li o’clock this morning,
and proceeded to work under then
organization.
The Republican House entered the
hall at 12 si., their regular hour of
meeting. Both Speakers are on the
stand, Wallace, Democrat, in the
chair ; Mackey, Republican, at the
Clerk’s desk.
A debate is progressing.
Republican members Hamilton
and Myre.denoyuce the actiou of the
Republican House as illegal and un
constitutional.
Everything is peaceable, and good
temper prevails.
No persons are allowed in the hall
except members.
The Democrats are cheerful and
confident; the Republicans are anx
ious and dispirited. Some of their
members say they want a silt led gov
ernment, and are for South Carolina
rather than for. the men who have
ruined her.

CHARGED WITH DUPLICATE AND DOUBLE
DEALING.
Columbia, S. C., Nov. 30,-7. r. M.
The situation was but little chauged
at the State House. There is good
humor on both sides. Some efforts
are being made at a compromise,
which may result satisfactorily.
ruger’s order.
About three o’clock this afternoon
Huger sent, his staff officer to the
Speaker’s stand and notified the
Democratic Speaker, Wallace, that
at 12 o’clock to morrow the Demo
cratic members from Edgefield would
not be permitted on the floor of the
House.
Upon the receipt oi that order the
following letter was immediately
sent:
Columbia, S. 0., November 30th.
<7(’A. T. H. Riujrr. Commanding
United States Troops.
Dear Sir—We have just heard,
through Major McGinnis of your
gtafflyour order communicated to
Mr.’Wallace, Speaker of the House
of Representatives, that, at twelve
o’clock to-morrow, the members
elect from Edgefield would not be al
lowed upon tne floor of the House.
To say that, we are surprised at such
an order, after the explanations and
pledges made by you to each one of
us, is to use very mild language.
When the outrage of Tuesday last
was courmitted by the placing of
armed sentinels at the door of the
House of Representatives, who deci
ded upon the admission of members
to their seats, and when the provi
sions of the Constitution and the de
cision of the Supreme Court were
brought to your attention, you dis
tinctly and warmly asserted, ugairi
and again, that your orders were
misunderstood, and that you had uot
intended to have sentinels at the
door of the hail, and that you had
not, and did not intend to assume to
decide upon the legality of a man’s
seat or upon his right to enter the
hall.
You were then reminded by us that
your guard received instructions from
one Dennis, a citizen and partisan of
Gov. Chamberlain, to admit parties
upon his own pass or that of one
Jones, and had through armed forces
excluded all Democrats from the hall
until the Republican organization
was completed. You assured us
again that such were not your orders.
You were told by us that notwith
standing the perpetration of this in
expressible shame upon our free in
stitutions and the rights of the peo
ple, the evils could still be remedied
without any violence or blood shed
by tne simple withdrawal of your
guard from the doors of the Hall,
thai the Democratic members might
struggle with the Republicans and by
a majority of votes decide all ques
tions in accordance with law and the
usages of legislative bodies.
You stated that no troops should
be at the door, and tuat under no cir
eu instance would you interfere, ex
cept there should occur a serious dis
turbance of the peace. You affirmed
your determination to exercise no
supervisory control whatever over
the body or bodies claiming to be the
House of Representatives.
All thisoccurred on yesterday.
Last night, in a later interview
with Senator Gordon, you made the
same assurances, and ibis morning,
after both bodies were assembled in
the ball, you assured Gen. Hampton
that, under no circumstances, would
you interfere, except to keep the
peace.
now can justly measure our
astonishment at the issuance of such
an order as the one just sent by you ?
There is no breach of the peace, and
no prospect of a disturbance. You
have had it officially brought to your
knowledge that absolute good humor
prevails in that ball.
We eaunot refrain from expressing
the apprehension that the fact that a
number of leading Republicans are
taking issue with the legality of the
proceedings by the Republican House
has changed yonr views as to your
line of duty.
Tt is proper that wp should say, in
conclusion, that we relied upon your
honor ns a man and your character
as a soldier, to maintain your pledg
ed position of non-intervention.
The Democratic members from
Edgefield and Laurens are entitled to
their seats by the judgment oftho
Supreme Court, of this State, and we
have advised them to remain in that
hall until removed by your troops,
that the issue may bo made In this
Centennial year of America’s inde
pendence, whether we have a Gov
ernment of law, ns construed by
the courts, or a centralized despot
ism, whose ouly law is force.
Let the American people behold
the spectacle of a brigadier-general
of the army seated by the side of Gov
ernor Chamberlain in a room of the
State House, and issuing his orders
to a legislative body, peacefully as
sembled, in one of the original thir
teen Commonwealths of this Union.
Respectfully, Yours,
J. B. Gordon.

Tallahassee, Nov. 30.—The Ala
chua county testimony created great
excitement. The Democrats tlrst
offered proof that the alleged affida
vit from Green R. Moore, purporting
to deny certain facts in another affi
davit lie had made, was dated and
executed ou the 20th, while the affi
davit which it proposed to retract and
correct was dated and executed ou
the 22d.
They then pronounced the affida
vit, purporting to be from Floyd
Dake, a sqare forgery.
They then introduced Moore and
Dake ‘ as witnesses. Moore swore
specifically that all the points in his
affidavit of the 22d were true; that
he had stated the facts therein Con
tained openly time and again Ltbat.
he was an inspector at Archer; only
31G votes were cast or counted; that
535 votes were not cast; that he
signed the election certificates in
olank. not thinking there could be
any,dispute; that he was approached
the other day by Barns, Republican
sheriff of the conntv, who offered
him SIOO if he would sign a paper;
he asked if he had to swear to it; he
was told that ho had not. He then
signed it and received tho money.
This paper was the one produced in
court as a counter affidavit.
Floyd Dukes (colored) swore that he
was inspector at Arther precinct; that
only 816 votes were cast; that no more
votes were east; that he can’t read or
write ; that he never signed a paper say
ing 535 votes were caff. Upon the coun
ter affidavit alleged to have been signed
by him being read, lie swore that he did
not sign it; that ex-Congressman Walls
and Justice Bellonciune to his house to
get him to sign it, hut that he refused to
do so.
The Democrats then called attention to
the fact that in the affidavits from several
hundred negroes swearing they voted at
Archer precinct, eleven names appear in
two places, two names in th-ee places,
two names of men long since dead, and
iwo names of men proved to have voted
elsewhere.
The Republicans submitted objections
to two precincts in Columbia comity,
alleging that a Democratic inspector in
dustriously changed ballots, when they
were handed him, and that the negroes
were taken by Democrats into a swamp a
week before the election, and alter vari
ous outrages, were made to swear on their
knees, that they would vote the Demo
cratic ticket.
Pending the preparation ol' papers in
other cases, the Board adjourned.
A Leading Republican Pr* on the
sum li Carolina Outran)-.
New Yoke, Nov. 20. —The Post this
evening says we cannot let the armed
occupation of the South Carolina State
House and acts of Federal troops taking
upon themselves to determine who shall
constitute the Legislature of that State,
pass without a protest of the utmost possi
ble solemnity and energy. According to
all accounts from tiiat quarter Federal
troops were yesterday in possession of
the building, a military garrison with its
sentinels posted at the doors, and no
member of the Legislature admitted ex
cept those who brought a pass from one
of the partisans of the present Governor.
Members who brought certificates of elec
tion from the Clerk of the Supreme Court
under the broad seal of the Court were
refused admittance by armed men. The
person named Dennis wiio gave written
orders, without which no person was al
lowed to enter, claimed be was acting
under direction of a superior, whose
name lie declined to give. Of course
that superior is Governor Chamber
lain, under whose orders the Federal
troops appear to have been put by Presi
dent Grant, and who has taken this meth
od of deciding what persons are members
of the South Carolina Legislature. We
protest against this proceeding, not only
in the name of liberty and justice, but in
behalf of the Republican party, whose
good name and worthy record are brought
in question by this resort to military
force in a question purely political. Here
is already incorporated into the history of
our Republic a precedent of as arbitrary
a nature as the act of Cromwell, when he
turned the British Parliament out of
doors. The rule of all representative
bodies that they are judges of elections
and qualifications of members is summa
rily set aside, and Hr. Dennis, the furni
ture dealer, with Federal troops at his
back, usurps that office. Even the ex
cuse that disturbance and bloodshed were
dreaded, and an insurrection so formida
ble that G.ov. Chamberlain would lack
means to quell it, does not appear to have
made the usurpation at all justifiable.
The question is Florida sickly has
been settled upon the very high au
thority of Surgeon General Lawson,
of the'Uoited States army. He closes
an official report with this sentence :
“In short, it may be asserted, with
out fear of refutation, that Florida
possesses a much more agreeable
and salubrious climate than any oth
er State or Territory in the Union.”

- PROSPECT OF RADICALS JOIN
ING THE DEMOCRATS.
Washington, Deo. 1. Specials
from Columbia up to two o'clock
last night represent the colored ele
ment of the combined bouses as iu
an unyieldiog state. As the night
approached they brought candles in
their bottles. The gas com puny,
however, upon security by Demo
crats for the bill, turned on the gas,
and for the first time in two years
the great chambers of the House
were ablaze.
The very latest advices this morn
ing show little progress towards a
solution. What Gen. Huger will do
or has been ordered to do, is uu
known. His soldiery commands
here say if obedieuco to order im
pinges on his .personal, honor, he
will surrender his sword.
BOTH PARTIES HOLDING THEIR POSI

Columbia, Dec. I.—The situation is
unchanged. Both bodies have occu
pied the House of Representatives
sinco 12 o’clock yesterday. Numer
ous propositions for compromise
have availed nothing. It is now half
past one, and the U. S. troops have
not interfered.
Tho Democratic Representatives
from Edgefield and Luurens are still
in their seats. The Democrats are
cheerful, and claim that the United
States authorities can’t ignore the
decision of the Supreme Court.
It is now likely that a sufficient
number of Republicans will unite
with the Democrats, in which event
the entire matter will be settled.
Mix O'clock anil All’* Well.
NO MILITARY INTETERENCE VET.
Columbia, Dec. 1,-Everything is
unchanged. Both parties in the
House expected Federal interfer
ence. There has been nono up to 6
p. m Gen. Huger has dono nothing
as yet in tho matter. There will
hardly bj a change beforo to-mor
row. The Democrats are cheerful,
the Republicans uneasy.

AWAITS ORDERS FROM WASHINGTON.
Charleston, Deo. 1.-A proposition
was signed by both speakers to ad
journ to 12 o’clock to-morrow, and
meet with tho status unchanged,
provided Gen. Huger would agree.
Gen. Ruger refused, ou the grounds
that he must obey orders from Wash
ington. The Houses are not likely
to adjourn.
Beaufort made u strong speech.
Said he was a Republican and voted
for Chamberlain, Hayes and Wheel
er, but he could not stand and see all
law stricken down in effort to pre
serve the party. Every member
knew that this body to which he be
longed was not legal. Had no quo
rum when organized. That the laws
made by it would be void and there
would bo no protection to property
or life if we override the law. That
we must bow to the judgment of
the Supreme Court.
Several Republicans have signified
their intentiou to abandon the mock

GEN. HII.EBA APOLOGY.
A FI.IMSEY ATTEMPT TO SHOW THAT HIS
SOLDI BKK EXCLUDED DEMOCRATS
WITHOUTSHIB AUTHORITY.
Columbia, S. C., Dee. 1,1876.
Gen. W. T. Sherman, or the Secretary
of War, Washington, D. C.
I have carefully abstained from in
terference with the organization of
the House from the first. On the ap
plication of tho Governor, and my
own belief of the necessity therefor,
for the preservation of tho peace, I
placed troops in the State House, but
not in tiie rooms of tho assembly or
either of the houses on the day
of the meetings. It came about
that at the time the soldiers were
placed ou either side of the door of
the entrance to the Hall of Represen
tatives, under the following circum
stances : A person at the door of the
House, and who claimed authority to
examine certificates of those claim
ing to be members prior to their ad
mission to the Hail, but who, I think
had no legal authority for so doiDg,
applied to the officer in command of
troops placed in the corridor for the
preservation of peace for assistance,
on the ground that he was being
pressed upon and could not perform
his duty, the soldiers were placed
as stated. As soon as I was
fully informed of the circumstances,
I ordered the soldiers with
drawn, a3 I had previously
informed Governor Chamberlain
that I should confine my action to
the preservation of the peace, and
should do nothing with reference to
keeping the doors of the rooms of
meeting of the Houses or the rooms
themselves, unless it became neces
sary because of a breach of tho peace
which the civil officers of tjje Houses
should be unable to restore. No act,
was dono by tho soldiers except that
of presence, as stated. But whilst
they were so present persons claim
ing the right of erttranoe under the
certificates of the clerk of the Su
preme Court were refused admission.

East Baton Rouge Democratic Vote Counted
A Negro Ku-Klux Htory
llxploilcd
New Orleans, Deo. l.—By the ad
option of the supervisors' returns
and ballot boxes, giving the Demo
crats 1,136 votes in East Buton Rouge
parish, tho board decides the same
evidence applies to the State as to
tho Electoral ticket.
Two white men, planters near
which Mrs. Pinkston lives, show that
her misfortunes were the result of
low negro bruwls and general bad
behavior, the white people having
not hing to do with the preliminaries
or tragic result. One of these gen
tlemen furnished her with a doctor
and buried her husband. Her child,
when found in the lake, had no
marks of violence.
The board refused to hear other
witnesses, saying if tho woman had
slandered the people, they had their
remedy in tho courts. The board
had nothing to do with it.
[The case to which the above re
fers had been reported by the Radi
cals as follows;
Eliza Pinkston, now dying, lias
sworn to the death of her husband,
Henry, by a party—the names of
many being given-which were uot
disguised; that they broke in the
door, the Saturday before election,
after midnight. Henry promised to
vote the Democratic ticket to save his
life, but the captain said : “Gag him.
G~d d—n him; don’t let him halloo;
ho will vote no d—d Radical ticket;
if he does, he will vote it in ii—l.”
Then she saw them cut him with
knives and strip him, tie him down
and shoot into him till ho was dead.
Then they turned to her, with her
babe eleven months old in her arms,
and said, “Put that baby down.”
“No, sir,” said she, “if you kill him
you kill me. I havo done nothing; I
am nothing but a poor woman.”
Then one of the men pulled tho lit
tle child’s head back and cut its
throat. They cut Eliza, shot her in
two places, once in the breast; cut
her in the jaw and throat; dragged
her outside, and striking her with an
axe, left her for dead. She crawled
into the cotton row, and lying there
heard them come back and say, “By
G she’s gone.”]

Hungror Voting for Tilden,—A Fiend*
lsh Outrage.
Louisviile, Nov. 27.—A special says
Cave Ci’y, Ky., is in a great suite of ex
citement over tbe perpetration of an out
rage upon a colored man who voted the
Democratic ticket at the last election.
Republican negroes vowed vengeance, it
seems, and selected lust Friday night for
the consummation of their designs.
They went to the man’s house at night,
and in spite of hi# pleadings for mercy,
and the tears and erics of his wile and
children, hung him to a tree. The per
petrators of the outrage have been recog
nized and captured. Their guilt is piain,
and the popular excitement is so great
that one murder may be followed by
others. The authorities are taking the
necessary precaution to prevent any fur
ther disturbance.
