ANOTHER MILITARY Of TRACE, DEMOCRATS EXPELLED FROM REPRESENT ATI YE HA LL. A Manly and Caustic Hratcst. TWO REPUBLICANS WITH THE DEMO CRATS. Columbia, S. G., November 30. — Tlio Democractic House took placa ble possession of the State Legisla tive Hall at their regular hour oTcoh 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. EFF. >RTB AT COMPROMISE HUGER FORBIDS THE FLOOR TO EDGEFIELD MEMBERS —- PROTESTS OF GENERALS GORDON AND HAMPTON, AND Mlt. HASKELL RUDER 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. Wade Hampton, A. C. Haskell. FLORIDA. THE FRAUDS OF THE HOARD. PROOF* OF RASCALITY IN WRY RH 41. FOINTIE*. Kn<lU-ul Loader* Forged “ Negro litopec*- ton' Miffnature after trylug to Uribe Him to olgii It! 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.” Wm. A. Jones, foreman of the compos ing room of ihe New Orleans Times, died last week. before his de.ith, ho be came oonseious for a moment, and in that gleam, dwdl ing upon the habit of his life, he suddenly exclaimed: “Theads are all right, Sherman ; lockup the forms and let’s go to press.” COLUMBUS, GA., SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 2, 1876. SOUTH CAROLINA. %\ 41.1.-MGHT HFSSIOY. Negroes Stick Candles in their Bottles. DEMOCRATS HOLDING THEIR PLACES, AND THE MILITARY NOT INTERFERING YET - 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 TIONS—NO INTERFERENCE YET BY THE MIIITARY—HOPES THAT MORE REIT IS I.ICANS WILL GO OVER TO THE OEMO CRATS. 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. ANOTHER A1,1,-NIGHT SESSION. GF.N. RUGER MAKES NO PROMISE, BUT 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 ery organization. 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. [Signed] Thos. H. Rugeb, Contending Dep’t, LOUISIANA’ 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.”] VOLUNTEER COMPANIES DISARMED. New Orleans, Dec. I.—The city volunteer military organizations turned over their arms, borrowed from tho State, to Col. Loan, chief of metropolitan police, at the request of Gov. Kellogg. I'lre In New Orleans.

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.
