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. SOUTH CAROLINA. THE DEMOOEATIO HOUSE WITH A CONSTITUTIONAL QUORUM. TITK SUPREME COURT DECIDES IT IS THE LEGAL HOUSE. Columbia, Deo. 6.—The Democratic House, in session at Carolina Hall, have just sworn in another member who deserted the Mackey House, making 63, being a constitutional quorum holding certificates of the Board of State Canvassers. Tho Su preme Court has decided tho Demo cratic House to be the]legal House of Representatives, and will issue a mandamus',compelling the Secretary of State tojturnjover the returns for Governor and Lieutenant Governor to Speaker Wallace. Tho Democrats afe jubilant over the events. FLORIDA. (DIYTIiD FOR HAYES. RADICALS CLAIM THE GOVERNOR AND BOTH CONGRESSMEN. Washington, Dec. 6.—The follow ing is bulletined by the Western Union: Tallahassee, Dee. 6. To President Grant:— Count just finished. Hayes’ majority 930. The Republicans elect the Governor and both members of Congress. All quiet. [Signed] Lew Wallace. We have nothing through regular channels. Wallace’s dispatch to the President causes no excitement. Not a 'shout is heard as people pass the bulletin 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. LOUISIANA. PACKARD COUNTED IN. Two Democratic Congressmen Counted Out.

W ashington, Dec. 6.—South Atlantic States clear or partly cloudy and slightly warmer weather with southerly to west erly winds and stationary or slowly fall ing barometer. 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.
