Senate.
Washington, Dec. 6.—The Senate
is discussing the resolution submitted
by Withers, of Virginia, yesterday,
calling upon the President to inform
the Senate why troops were stationed
in Petersburg, Ya., on election day.
The Louisiana Committee will reach
New Orleans on Monday for business,
The House is on routine business.
Morton moved, in view of increased
labor imposed on Committee of
Elections and Privileges by yester
day's resolution, three Senators be
added to the committeo —adopted.
Withers called up the resolution
submitted by him yesterday, re
questing the President to inform the
Senate, if not incompatible with the
public interest, tinder what authority
and for what purpose troops of the
United States occupied the city of
Petersburg, Ya., on the seventh of
November, 1876, the day of the gen
eral election. Logan, of Illinois,
moved that it be referred to the Com
mittee on Military Affairs. A lengthy
debate followed, during which Mr.
Withers argued it was not usual to
for such resolutions. At the request
of Logan, Withers modified his reso
lution to read:
Resolved, that tho President be
and is hereby requested to inform
the Senate if not incompatible with
public interest whether troops of the
United States were stationed at the
city of Petersburg iu the State of
Virginia on the.seventh of Novetn
bember 1876 the day of the general
election; if so, under what authority,
and for what purpose. Running de
bate followed, covering the whole
field of alleged Southern outrages.
The resolution as modified was
agreed to without discussion. The
President’s message with Sherman’s
report was read.
Thurman objected to printing all
the matter accompanying the Presi
dent’s message. Mr. Sherman ex
plained that the communication was
proposed in response to the request
of the President, that certain gentle
men proceed to La. to witness the
canvass of votes before tho Returning
Board. These gentlemen did meet
in New Orleans, and this was their
motion to the President; Motion to
print referred to committee on print
ing.!
nom:.
Washington, Dec. 6.—The only
matter of interest in the House to
day was the transmission by the
President of a communication made
to him by Senator Sherman and
others and testimony taken by them
at New Orleans in regard to the
Presidential election in Louisiana.
The message itself made no sugges
tion or recommendation.
The reading of the communication
was demanded on the Republican
side of the House, and resisted by
the Democratic side.
The Speaker decided that it must
be read. It was accordingly read.
When the reading was finished,
Wood of New York rose and ex
pressed his surprise at such a mes
sage having been sent by the Presi
dent.
He regarded it as most extraordi
nary and unprecedented; but re
marked that this is a marvellous and
extraordinary time. The President
has had the experience which nearly
eight years of service had given him,
and that experience of itself should
have given him knowledge not only
of the theory, but of the practice of
the Government and its officers, and
yet the President had seen proper to
send to the House this unauthorized
communication from persons clothed
with no official position in the prem
ises. The President by giving to it
his official sanction and by transmit
ting it to the House made it one of
the records of the Government.
He (Wood) could conceive of but
one object which the President could
have had in transmitting it, and that
was the incidental one of suggesting
that the House was clothed with au
thority to institute a careful inquiry
into the election of President in ad
vance of regular presentation of that
great subject. The President told
the House by this procedure that the
House is authorized to institute an
inquiry as to the correctness and in
tegrity of the certificates of election.
The exception which he (Wood) took
to it was that the President should
have transmitted in such an unau
thorized way an unauthorized docu
ment of a mere partisan and exjarte
character and his first impulse had
been to move that the communica
tion be returned to the President. If
he had followed the indignation
which rose to his heart when thedoe-
ument was presented to the House ho
would have made such a proposition,
but he should not now do so; ho
should simply move that the mes
sage of the President with accom
panying documents be laid on the
table. [Applause.]
Hoar, of Mass., said j,hat his side
of tho House desired to have
some debate on the subject. Tho
motion ’however, was not bebatable,
and it was adopted; yeas, 152, nays,
90, a party vote. Adjourned.|
Correction—Tho nnme of Qoo. A.
Bagley, of New York, was erroneous
ly given as as voting on Monday in
favor of the resolution for a select
committee to go South. The third Re
publican who voted for it, was Wil
lard, of Michigan.

We have nothing through regular

Wallace’s dispatch to the President
causes no excitement. Not a 'shout

board.
Washington, Dec. 6. Nothing
later from Florida. The line to Tal
lahassee has been down, but Wal
lace’s message will probably bo sent
by a special messenger to Monticello
and thence by telegraph. It is
doubless authentic. The Democratic
caucus resumed session two hours
this evening. In course of a gener
al interchange of views several
members express great indignation
at the course pursued by the Presi
dent, alleging he had interfered with
freedom of elections by sending
troops into Southern States,
and commenting with special severi
ty upon his conduct to-day in sending
to Congress in the guise of official
document a report which they de
nounced as the work of partisans of
his own selection, and for which
alone, if for no other reasons, they
argued that he ought to be impeach
ed.
The caucus took no action on sug
gestions beyond appointing a com
mittee to report to adjourned meet
iuglto-morrow their recommendations
as to the policy that should be pur
sued. The committee consists of
Representatives Hewitt, Payne,
Wood, Holman, Sparks and Warren,
and Speaker Randall.

The Horning of General Hampton's
House.
Scarcely without a parable fr fiendish
ness and malice, in a civilized country,
was the attempt, a lew nights ago, to burn
alive the two sisters and sons of General
Wade.jHampton, the reform governor
elect, of South Carolina. Passengers
from Columbia furnishes us with the fol
lowing particulars of the horrible affair.
Gen. Wade Hampton, it seems, has his
home out in the country, several miles
trom Columbia, in which city he was
staying lor some weeks past, councelling
with friends and watching the proceed
ings of the returning board, who had
charge of the election returns. While
thus engaged in the commendable efforts
to preserve peace and prevent bloodshed
among the excited factions at the State
capital, his home was reduced to ashes,
and his family escaped with none of their
effects, and with barely their lives. The
act of the incendiaries proves not only
a deep seated malice and revenge, but a
cruelty of heart and a fiendishness of pur
poses that reminds us of the practice of
the heathenish Turks and the wild sava
ges of tbe plains.
The dwelling was saturated with kero
sene all around; with no avenue left by
which the inmates could escape, and the
torch was then applied. Every one
knows with what rapidity fire will spread
when fed by this combustible oil, and the
persons who concocted the hellish plot
had no desire but to see every one of the
household perish in the flames. Fortun
ately none of them had retired,as it was
only about nine o’clock and they were
enabled to escape an awful and cruel
death. We knew that the radicals of
South Carolina as a class, were unscrupu
lous and entirely devoid of honor, princi
ple and the instincts of justice, yet we did
not believe that they would allow their
partisanzeal to carry them so far as to do
this dark crime against humanity and
the laws of God! It is horrible to con
template ! Will Chamberlain attempt to
bring these offenders to that justice they
so richly deserve ?— Exchange.
A TI'.IIHIIII.E AFFAIR.
I'lrc In Brooklyn TUrnlrr.
ONE HUNDRED LIVES LOST.
Brooklyn, N. Y., Dec. 6.—A fire
broke out last night on tho stago of
Brooklyn Theatre, during the per
formance of the Two Orphans, Mr.
Study, who played the part of
Jacquo, made an effort to calm tho
excited audience. Ho stepped to tho
foot lights and said : “There is no
tronblo here; there is no fire. Ladies
and gentlemen, keep your seats.”
Many resumed their seats, but only
for a few seconds. Tho llames spread
rapidly, and-the theatre was soon
enveloped In names.
Miss Katie Claxton, Mrs. Farren
showed great self-possession, and re
mained on the stage till the scenery
at the left was completely licked up,
then rushed out on the stago in cos
tume, saving only the dresses they
wore.
The panic became general. Before
the actors left tho stago the audience
rushed for tho doors. Women fainted,
aisles were blocked up, and many
thrown down and trampled on. Ush
ers and police mado every effort to
induce the people to retire in good
order, without effect. Tho heat was
intense; many fell helpless to the
floor.
Mrs. Farren and a number of act
ors jumped in the auditorium and
took their chances for exit by tho
Washington door.
One hundred lives aro believed to
have been lost, including Mr. H. 8.
Murdock, the actor, who has not
been seen since the fire:
Most of the killed were in the
dress circle, their means of escape
being cut off by the burning stairs.
Dieter’s hotel is damaged $5,000.
Every member of the company
loses clothes, jewelry and costumes.
The Brooklyn Building Association
lose $40,000; Sheek & Palmer lose
the scenery of tho Two Orphans,
valuable property and costumes;
Kate Claxton, wardrobe; George But
ler, several thousand dollars worth
of furniture and personal property;
Ida Vernon, wardrobe and diamonds,
$6,000 to SB,OOO. Total loss $200,000.
It will take all day to get tho re
mains from the red hot ruins.
It is supposed the dead are those
who were in the dress-circle and gal
lery.
There is intense excitement. Courts
adjourned, scarcely any business,
doing. The Park Theatre has closed
for tho week.
A meeting of the profession called
j Thursday to concoct measures of re
j lief.
Brooklyn, Dec. 6, 1 r. m.—Ninety
four bodies recovered, and others
still visible in layers four deep.
Mr. Burroughs, actor, is among the
victims.
Later—l3o bodies recovered and
still finding others.
Loss on buildings $100,000; fixtures
SIO,OOO. Sheek & Palmer losses lose
$30,000. Insured.
Four o’clock—l9s bodies recovered.
Five o’clock, 245 bodies recovered.
APPALLING LOSS OF LIFE.
New York, Dec. 6.—The loss of life
in tho Brooklyn Theatre is appalling.
Bodies were found this morning in a
heap within a few feet of the door.
It is supposed they went down when
the lobbeys fell. They are burned
beyond recognition. Eighty-six
names are registered as missing,
among whom is H. 8. Murdock,
actor, who, after endeavoring to
calm the crowd last night, went to
his dressing room. A bulletin dated
11 o’clock says forty-four bodies have
been recovered. It is supposed at
least 100 now remain.
A aUENK IN TUB SOUTH CAROLINA
UK6ISUATUUE.
HOW HAMILTON, OOLOBKD, QUIT AND DE
NOUNCED THE VILE OANO.
From the Oharleaton Courier’ll report of Dec. 3.
Thomas Hamiltoo about 1 o’clock
arose. Every one present suspected
something interesting, and even the
scoffing Kadicals held their peace
and looked on in silence as he drew
nis certificate of membership from
his coat pocket and placed it on the
desk in front of him. As soon as
perfect silonce reigned throughout
the House, be said: Now comes the
trying hour. I know the severe crit
icism to which I shall be subjected,
but I am responsible alone to my
God and to my country. My Repub
lican friends charge mo with the
downfall of the Republican party,
and I repel the charge with the scorn
it deserves. lam a Republican, and
I here in this very seat nominated
Daniel H. Chamberlain for Governor
of South Carolina. If Mr. Chamber
lain did not get the requisite number
of votes to elect him it was not my
fault, but it was the fault of those
very leaders who now assail me,
who proclaimed to the colored peo
ple all over this .State that he was a
traitor, a thief and a Denocrat. I
am not the slave of one man or a
dozen men, and now that the returns
show that Daniel H. Chamberlain is
defeated, I will not bo made the will
ing tool of ambitious office-seekers
by giving my vote to corruptly count
him in.
Minort who was at this time acting
as Speaker addressed Hamilton as
follows : “ Who are you addressing?
If you are not addressing this chair
I call vou to order.”
Hamilton—“l am addressing both
Speakers, and I give you fair warning
that you had better keep quiet and
let me go on peaceably. I shall not
occupy the floor long, and after I get
through you can take yourCat-o’-
nine tail Legislature and do what
you please with it.”
It is needless to remark that Minort
interfered no further with Mr. Ham
ilton. !
I givo it out here, continued Ham
ilton, that while I earo nothing for
politics, I am satisfied that I shall bo
returned hero two yoars hence, for I
kuow that my action will bo sustain
ed by my constituents. I am no
office-seeker, mid iiavo never sought
an office In my life. I allow the
office to seek me, and when I become
a candidate and am elected, I expect
j to do my duty by the wholo people of
jmy country. lain responsible, sir,
| for what I do to-day to tho liepubli
i can party. I voted the Republican
; ticket openly; but, Mr. Speaker,
would it lie just for me to come here
to-day and throw out votes in order
to elect my man because he did not
receive tho majority of the votes cast
in the State ? I cannot listen to any
such purpose, and I care nothing for
j tho scorn of these renegades and ad-
I venturers. They can turn their noses
up at me. I ask them no odds, and
I ask that tho leaders send down to
Beaufort the strongest men they can
find to oppose mo, and when tho roll
is called here two years hence, 1 shall
answer to my name. I stated yester
day that I would stand by tho man
who received the highest vote, and I
repeat it to-day. In my opinion the
verdict of the people at the ballot
box has been iu favor of Home Rule,
and against a stranger holding the
reins of government in South Caro
lina any longer. It has got to come
to thut.
I do not say that strangers cannot
come among us and livo amongst us
as frieuds, but I do say that it has
been the popular verdict that they
must keep their hands off of politics.
I have discussod the organization of
these houses, and I have declared iu
every speech that I have made, that
the Legislature clairaingto be organ
ized here under E. W. M. Mackey is
unconstitutional. My God! have I
no right to think so and say so? I
feel that it is a body of men without
power to do anything, and I feel that
its Sergeant-at-Arms has us much
control over me as any other citizen
on the street. It has been claimed
by my Republican friends that we
have been sworn in as members of
this House at that desk, and that any
attempt to recognize any other body
as the legal House of Representatives
will be arrosted and stopped by tho
officers of this so-called quorum.
Now if you think you liuve any such
claim on me, I give all of your offi
cers apiece of advice. It is that if
you expect to enforce that claim, if
you intend to enforce it, be sure you
are right before you come; because,
viewing ‘the matter from my stand
point, you have ho claim; and let me
say that if any person comes up to
arrest me, let him be sure to have a
warrant of arrest from the constitu
tional officer of tho House of Repre
sentatives. Before your officer comes
lot him bo sure he is right, or I may
be compelled to visit upon him my
revenge for ail tho insults heaped
upon me by this bobtail House. If
you think you are right state your
position. I have explained mine. J.
do not ask you to let me do as I
pleaso about the matter, because I
intend to do that anyhow. If I think
a man is a thief I will toll him so and
am responsible for the result. Dif
fer with me if you choose, but do
not attribue those motives to my ac
tions. I have always held that the
gathering of Republicans in this hall
is so for nothing but a mass meeting,
and that if the matter couldn’t be set
tled, I would decide for myself who
was the officer to bo recognized.
Makoyour threats as much as you
please, but when you come to put
your threats into execution, mako
your wills. While some of my col
leagues differ from me, I still have
the highest respect for them. I do
not ehargo them with being improp
erly influenced. You can call me a
Democrat! That is no new name for
me; I have been called a Democrat in
Beaufort for four years. I don’t
quarrel with anybody and I do not
find the Democrats such terrible
blood-thirsty people as you try to rep
resent them. I have never seen their
horns. You say Hamilton and Myers
have by their votes the power to save
tho Republican party. Ido not con
sider that I was sent here to cast my
vote to elect Gov. Chamberlain when
I believed that he was defeated at the
ballot-box on the 27th of November
last. Ido not consider that the Leg
islature has a right to declare a de
feated candidate elected. We don’t
come here to make Governors, but,
as I understand it, to represent the
people. If Governor Chamberlain is
shown by the returns to be elected,
of course my vote shall so declare
him Governor, but I will not vote to
seat him if he has not been
elected. That is certain. It is useless
to talk now about frauds. That his
been done on both sides, and it was
your business to prevent it at the
time. You had every means to pre
vent it. You had a majority of the
managers and the commissioners and
sheriffs and cunvassers and all the
United States troops to secure
fair play. If you come to talk about
fraud, you come too near homo. If
you don’t look sharp tho Demeerats
will show that there were in the
neighborhood of 3,000 bogus votes
east in Beaufort county. Let the
public and not trhis body be the judge
of my action, and whatever the ver
dict may be I shall bow in submis
sion. If I had not spoken yesterday
your so-called committees on privi
leges and elections would have seated
some more bogus members. I have
here a cersiticate of election from the
Secretary of State, and considering
that this is the legal and Constitu
tional House of Representatives, I
now propose to take the oath before
you, Mr. Wallace, the Constitution
al I v elected Speaker.
Hamilton then came foward, the
House still maintaining perfect si
lence. Gen. Wallace then read the
oath, the Democrats all standing.
Hamilton kissed the book, and thus
severed himself from the corrupt
mob styling itself tho House of Rep
resentatives of South Carolina.*
I'rnldencr of the Senate.
Washington, Dec. 3.—Ferry’s [Senato
rial term expires on March the 3d, and
while there is no dissatisfaction with him,
it appears unfortunate for Ferry that just
at this this time, when the gravest respon
sibiirty would attach totheofilce of Presi
dent of the Senate, he, even at the event of
ids re-election, would be compelled to take
anew oath. Tho majority of the Repub
lican Senators, therefore, think that some
person should be chosen President of the
Senate, whose term of office continues be
yond the 4th of MaJOh, who would not be
required to take anew oath at that time.
The most prominent persons mentioned,
are Hamblin and Morton. Hamblin has
had much experience, but since the choice
of Randall by the House, thore is a strong
sentiment in favor of Morton.
