WHAT IIOI'.N THIS MEAN T
It will be remembered that for n few
days aHer the Presidential election
the Radicals claimed No’rth Crrolina
for Hayes. Then, when It was dis
covered that by “counting in” South
Carolina. Florida and Louisiana
they could elect Hayes without
North Carolina, they dropped all
claim to the last-named State. But
within the lost few days they have
again made claims t.o North Carolina,
notwithstanding a lately admitted
majority of 15,000 Tor Tllden in the
State. They now say that ‘‘lrregu
larities” have been discovered which
will justify them in making this
claim. The Raleigh Sentinel says
that Gov. Brogdcn refuses to give
any information concerning the offi
cial returns, sayiug thut there are
“serious irregularities,” and he has
determined to consult tho Attorney
General before arriving at any de
cision or allowing any announce
ment of the result. Brogden being n
Republican, the presumption is
strong that he is holding back to
have North Carolina -‘counted” for
Hayes if he should not be able to get
one of the three disputed States by
fraud, or if he loses an Elector or
two by reason of ineligibility.
A Washington dispatch says: The
contingency which now seems not
improbable of a Democratic Elector
from the State of Oregon has disar
ranged the plans of the Radical con
spirators, and in the last day or two
there has been a good deal of tele
graphing between here and other
points, and conferences among par
ties here. In only ono of the Stutes
from which Tilden derives his one
hundred and eighty-four votes is
there a Republican Governor—the
State of North Carolina. In this
State it is hoped, to make up the lose,
if such should be the case, of the
Oregon Elector. This accounts for
statements which were put into cir
culation yesterday that out) of the,
North Carolina Electors was dis
qualified by reason of holdiug tho
position of deputy claims commis
sioner in tho State under the South
ern Claims Commission. Tho plan
now is to induce Gov. Brogden, of
North Carolina, to withhold the
commission of this Elector to case
the commission of the Oregon post
master Is withheld.
UK\. (•KANT’S INCMMINTBKW.
We referred, a few days ago, to the
inconsistency of President Grant in
upholding Kellogg in Louisiana, in
1873, because of a decree of the Su
preme Court of that State, and in
siding with Chamberlain povv when
the Supreme Court of South Carolina
decides against bis proceedings. The
New Orleans Democrateailurges upon
this point as follows:
. In February, 1873, Gov. MeEuary,
accompanied by ,Senator McMillan,
waited upon President Grant and
held a long interview with him, At
torney General Williams being pres
ent. In thto conversation which then
took place the President declared to
Gov. McEnory. that his recognition
and support of the Kellogg govern
ment were compelled by tho decision
of the Supremo Court of the State,
which lmd determined the legality of
that government; that-It was this:
decision which concluded and con-;
trolled; that as to tho order of Judge;
Dttrell, that was a subject which
would bo investigated by tbe House
of Representatives, and if it were
true, as charged, that Dwell had ex
ceeded hie jurisdiction and powers,
it was for this Department of Gov
ernment to investigate bis
and if guilty hold him to fpuniah
meat. But what,loft him in no doubt
as to his duty to supportthe Kellogg
government wa*<he final decision of
our Supreme Court that it ws tho
constitutional govern meat.
This was the position of Grant rel-i
ative to Louisiana. There was thee
a fall admission of the right of the
Supremo Court to decide the legality
of a State government ; on suggestion
that it was a political question..
Behold now the w*verhl of this
position In regard to South Carolina,
In the latter State, the Supremo
Court, oomposed of Republican
Judge*, decide that the certificates
and returns of the Canvassing Board
are illegal; that the Jaw gives them
the power to review and puss finally
upon the same; and yat, even when
the Board of Canvassers is held for
contempt in refusing to return their
action to the Supreme Court for re>-
view and filial detorminatiou, this
same President se tufa the amyof the
United States to the eapttal of South
Carolina and places the national
forces under the command of these
very parties who defy the authority
of the Supreme Court of the State, at
the disposal of the Governor, who
seeks to usurp the powers and pro*-
rogattwes of the highest judicial au
thority of-the State, of which he is
the chief executive.
Our Washington Letter.—We hope
that our readers do not overlook our
Washington letters in their efforts to make
out the present political situation. These
letters report the feeling and designs at
the great "head centre” of the conspiracy
whose ramifications we see in the reports
from Columbia, Tallahassee and New Or
leans. The one which we publish to day
will be found interesting, showing the
feeling and purposes of the classes in
whose behalf the returning hoards and
the military la the South are doing their
part. The' writer is a shrewed politician
and presents his facts and
with much point, His report of lion. A*
H Stephens’ opinions (differing a little
from those attributed to him when he
first went to Washington) will also be
found interesting.
The number of immigrants arri
ving in Texas by way of the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas railroad for the last
eight months, is put down by the gen
eral agent at 20,000. For the same
time,the number of wagons and per
sons crossing Red Kiver at Colbert's
Ferry, which ia six miles from Den
nison, are gireu as loflows:
Number of wagons, 4,060; number of
people, 24,900, making a total of 43,-
000 persons entering Texas! by way
of Dennison since April last.—Galres

TUB MILITARY BALK DOWN.
The dispatches of Gens. Gordon
and Hamilton, and tho report of
Gen. Grant’s declarations about
South Carolina uffairs, servo to
throw some light upon the late occur
rences at Columbia. Tho President
disavows having ordered Gen. Huger
to interfere with tho Legislature of
South Carolina, makes somo sugges
tions about a misunderstanding of
orders, and gives Gen. Huger his
strong endorsement as a truthful
man und honorablo officer. Gen. Hu
ger, on his part (us shown in his dls-,
patch to Gen. Sherman published yes-
I terday) declared that he never ordered
lor authorized his forces to do any
thing olso than preserve tho peace at.
| the state house in Columbia; that it
was true that Democratic members
were excluded while his soldiers were
in the corridor where they had been
placed by somo “person" who had
no legal authority 1 This is a
confession that his soldiers were
used to exelade the Democratic mem
bers, but a djsavowel that It was
done by his orders, Tho unauthor
ized "person” who used them was a
tool of Chamberlain, and t he soldiers
must have been put under the control
of Chamberlain by Gen. Huger. It
is hardly supposable that they would
have been at the dispo
sal ot any "person” without
orders from someone having author
ity over thorn. The conclusion is ir
resistible that Chamberlain had vir
tual command of of the troops at the
Htat.e House, and that he must have
obtained such command either from
Gen. Huger or from some higher Mili
tary authority at Washington. This
being so, the disavowals of Gen.
Grant and Gen. Huger are not
worth much as truthful and candid
statements. They are prevaricatons
or quibbles—merely deoiying that
they did personally what they per
mitted Chamberlain and his tool to
db.
Gen Grant, in his endorsement of,
tho honor und truthfulness of Gen.
Huger, makes a weak attempt to
present an issue of veracity between
him and Gens. Gordon and Hampton,
and to give bis testimony in favor of
Rugor. But Gen. Huger himsolf, in
his dispatch to Sherman, makes
statements confirmatory of tho as
sertions of Gens*. Gordon and Hamp
ton. He does not deny that he guve
them the assurances which- they al
lege ; on the contrary, he says that
he never intended to do what they
say ho promised them he would
not do. It is fortunate
for General Ruger that he
has not, by mukiugan issue of verac
ity with Gordon and Hampton, plac
ed himself in a position to need Gen,
Gropt’s endorsement of his truthful
ness and honor. The people of the
country well remember au occasion
when an issue of this kind between
President Johnson and Gen. Grant
occurred, und the latter did not
come out of that controversy with a
reputation for veracity that would
make hiv endorsement of the truth
and honor of any man worth a great
deal.
But uiuj was this “person without
legal authority” permitted to use
Gen. Roger’s soldiers as they were
used? The presumption is still
strong that It was done to “intimi
date” the Democratic members and
make them relinquish their right to
their seats without a resort to the;
threatened forcible expulsion —a
throat which may have been
made by the same “person” in- :
stead of Gen.
‘not only all over Columbia, but
throughout the country, that!
the Democrats wero remaining all
night in the Representativo Hall
in the fear that they would again be
refused admittance by Gen. Roger’s
forces U they adjourned and attempt'
pd to ro-outer the hall the next, day.
Why (lid not Gen. Ruger promptly
-inform them that this fear was
baseless-that the did m?t intend tq
exclude tfiemV The object must havo
been to allow Chamberlain and his
“person” to scare them away if they
could: and when it was found that
they would not scare,, but would
await the use of force by Ruger, these
disclaimers and exlpnations came—
they had to come then, to relieve
tho military au thorites of thd irnpuj
tatlou of a “square back down.”

EAGER FOR A CONFERENCE
The Northern Republicans huve left
the Returning Bearfl. They no longer
lend it iae'r strength and backing.
Stoughton no longer rises to explain how
a document signed Nov. 35 can get inside
a papers sealed Nov. 14. The board sirs
alone solitary, watched only by the
Democratic Committee.
It is said that fixe Northern Republicans
no longer care to back the Returning
Board; do not all like the false and unF
pleasant position ia which ;hc board so
often places them, tod are, willing to do
now what they refused, to do when asked,
by Urn Democrats-oenfer outside.of,.thfe.
board.
The Northern JRcpubUcaus are Mi'
examine and consider all the evident
before the Returning Board. Knowing
well the impossibility of the board going
over all the evidence, affidavits, interrogaf.
tones and cross-interrogatories before
it, they propose to .hold that conference
with the visiting Northern Democrats
which they refused when it was first pro
posed by the latter to take up all the testi
mony taken before the United States
Commissioners, examine this, and to make
a sort of report on the Louisiana case, out
of which they hope to make something.
A communication to this effect wap
sent to the visiting Democrats yesterday
evening requesting a conference with
them.
To this proposition the Democrats pro
posed lo; reply in the Reluming Boat tl
this morning when the Northern Repub
licans entered, but the absence of the lat
ter prevented this reply from being made.

Washington, D. C„ Nov. 2t>, 1876 —
Tbo speakership question begins
now to assume shape, and Bsyler
will not bo able to pull through. Ail
boubts os to the candidacy of Morri
son are set aside by his arrival hero
and his bold declaration to ult that
question him as a candidate. If tho
House should throw out a drag-net to
find the worst man for the office,
Morrison would be the result of tho
haul. He has neither the presence,
ability, or knowledge of parliament
ary rulings to commend him. In view
of the complications threatened in
the House, it is nlmost the height of
audacity for him to aspire to the
gavel.
Kandall arrived with Morrrison.
Both huye been to New York, and
for three days have been hobnobbing
with Gov. Tllden and Abo Hewitt.
Morison says positively that Mr.
Tiideu will not attempt to control
the selection. 'This is doubted here.
There is too much at stuke for Gov.
Tildep to treat the vacancy with ap
athy, and one of his acuto analysis of
men could hardly draw off and let
tho prize go to an incompetent, man
by default. I imagine thut Tiideu
has encouraged Morrison to hope! for
success, but that his preference is
for Randall, and thut the former will
in the end see that while ho was tick
led with a straw somo one else was
given the game.
Now us to Hayler. He has a host
of friends. If the session was expect
ed to be a common place one, with
nothing butdry details of rushing ap
propriation bills through, he could
possibiy be elected. He made a good
many enemies, however, for allow
ing Kasaon, of lowa, to get in ins
philiipio against Governor Tiideu on
the last night of the previous session.
Cut loose from any antagonism ex
cept the merits of the opposing can
didates, his chances are infinitely
more hopeful than either Morrison’s
or Cox’s and about even with Ran
dall’s. Although It is strenuously
denied by both Cox and Morrison
that Tiideu is indorsing Randall’s
canvass, tiie impression is very deci
ded that the contrary is the fact.
Randall could well be spared from
tlie Appropriation Committee, be
cause Holman is next in succession
to the Chairmanship, and will scru
tinize the expenditures of the public
money with as jealous vigil as liis
predecessor. Cox cun not get the
place, and Springer has as much
chance of being taken to tieayen in a
chariot of fire us being selected. Cly
nier will content himself with the
complimentary vote of the Pennsyl
vania delegation and will then re
treat by mutual consent and previ
ous agreement.
Betting all the sources of informa
tion down to hard-pan, I am of tho
opinion that Morrison and Randall
liave a combination set up between
themselves, which is endorsed by
Governor Tiideu. It is this, Hadall
is the real candidate and Morrison
the nigger on the wood-pile. Ran
dall’s candidacy is genuine, Morri
son’s is a blind. It is a combina
tion to beat Bay lcr and Cox. There
are members who would support
Morrison,but not Randall. These
would go either for Cox or Hayler.
Morrison will draw them to him,'and
at the proper time, withdraw in Ran
dall's favor, and ho will secure enough
votes to elect him.
HAVES’ WITHDBAWAL rnOBABUB.
The Baltimore Sun says to-day
that there is “more in the report of
Governor Hayes’ contemplated with
drawal from t.he disgraceful contest
now kept up to hoist him into
tiie Presidency than is imagined.”
There is certainly something disturb
ing Chandler & Cos., and tho impres
sion is rapidly gaining ground that
after all Hayes will be found to have
more public purty than those using
him.|
The 22it Joint Rule.
The indications point very strongly
that the Houso will take decided
ground that the Twenty-second Joint
Buie and all other joint rules not
specifically rescinded by the concur
rent action of the two Houses are in
force. The point is made that the
Senate ia a continuous body, and
having adopted ruiea concurred in
by the House, it can not set either or
all of them aside unless it rescinds
any or all of them and has the con
currence of the other branch. Be
fore the Presidency was deemed to
be close no Kepublicansjadvanced the
theory that there were no joint rules.
As the canvass progressed, and it
was anticipated that the result would
'be Uncomfortably close, the Republi
can organs began the discussion, aud
finally took the ground that no joint
rules were in existence. Meanwhile,
Chandler’s conspiracy to steal the
very States now in dispute was hatch
ed, and it was preconcerted that if
the identical States needed were ne
cessary to pull Hayes through, they
were to bo appropriated. The claim
that the joint rules were not in force
was agitated with the avowed intent,
of taking snap judgment in ease the
House showed a disposition to Object
to the vote of any or the States. Mr.
Randall, who will probably bo the
Speaker, holds that the Twenty
secoutl Joint Rule is in force.
The CuuKreMslonnl Count.
Senator Wailaee, of Pennsylvania,
in conversation to-night, expressed
himself as very strongly of the opin
ion that the right to decide as to
which is the legal return, where two
returns shall be made for any State,
belongs to the people’s Representa
tives in the House, acting for the
States. He bases his opinion on the
ground that the Electoral College
was a compromise between those
Who desired to have the President
elected by the Senate amPthose who
desired too election by the people;
that it waa the clear Intent of the
fousders of that system to have the
election by the States; that, when
there is a question as to how the peo
ple of any State have really voted,
the decision of that question ought
to be delegated to the votes of|States
os voiced by their Representatives in
the Rower House.
Wall Ben Comb Over?—The New
York Sun’s Washington man tele
graphs: There is hardly a happier
man iii the country to-day than Ben
Butler, and Judge Hoar, it is to bo
presumed, is correspondingly happy.
Here, where tbo two have been accu
rately gauged, there is universal re
joicing over Butler’s victory. "We
know Ben is no better than he should
be,” is the usual remark, "but he is
not like .that coldblooded, prond
Judge Hoar.” IJutler has unhesita
tingly declared that Tilden has been
fairly elected, but says Hayes will bo
counted in. Much curiosity has
been manifested as to what side he
will take in tbo mutter, but it is now
generally, believed that his sympa
thies are with tiie Democracy, and
that he will tot with them in case an
attempt is made to farce upon the
people a defeated candidate for the
Presidency.
