THE DAILY TIMES. JOHN H. WARTItf, - - * KAr. Columbia. Oft- SUNDAY DECKJIiiER 8,1876. LARGEST CIRCULATION la tfta Cmmtlf l l *• Tprllbi at <Wbn. 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 fon 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.” Mortltern lteputiHcau* 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. —A ew Orleans Dmwerat, Ist. A queer report comes from New York that, ex-I’resideut Davis, who reached that city from Europe on the Adriatic recently, has not been seen since he landed. Col. W. Oray son Mann, formerly of Savannah, with whose father Mr. Xhtvis resided while in Paris, engaged rooms Tor him at the New York Hotel, but has heard nothing of him ! THE OUTLOOK AT WASHIHSTOH. UIIO mu. BK MPJRAHUMV me 22nd Joint Utile. THE I’UEHIDBNTIAi, COUNT. Hjf ut dUpoteb to tlie Cincinnati Enquirer. 1 , The i>**kemktt FrobotolMUet. Horn non and Randall ln)tke lesd. 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. rXHKNAR CKMllilA NET*. - The hotel butldtn g of ilr.'G.
