happy and conented, and labor as diligently as
before the war-manifest no desire to leave their

his hands to Carolina as the Federal army was so

corn in the crib, the present crop geo one, and
stock of all kinds plenty, and yet this community
was scourged severely.
The Federal army was eacamped in the neigh

time. He took up the line of march as if he in
tended to leave for parts unknown. The Federal
army poured into The neghborhood like swarm

and Justice could avail, secure verdict in their
favor upon the issue Joined.
twill be seen by the foregoing statement that
Messrs. REED and SIMPSON were not only in fact
duly elected nnd properly commissioned as Rep
res.uat,yes from their respective Districts, but that
their election and commissions were distinctly
recognized and admitted by their competitors MS
ate as the first of FtJruury, 1863 Under these
circumstances, the surprise Of the members elect
upon their arrival in Washington Mt he opening OF
of the 4lst Congress, may be imagined Wien tney
ascertained that their contestants, who had Gsen
defeated by SO large majority of votes, and had
so recently and formally acknowledged their defeat,
had each filed with the Clerk o certificate signed
by the same Board of State Cavassers (who had so
formally declared their elections, to the effect
that S. L. HoGE and A. S WALLACE had each re-
ceived majority of the ieyal Votes cast and had
been duly elected Representatives from the 3rd and
4ih Districts OF South Carolina. These certificates
bear date on the End day Of December, 1868, the
same date of the certificates and commissioners
furnished 10 REED and SIMPSON early in December
last, and are countersigned by the same Governor,
R. K. Scorr. The contestants do not however.
furnish either the newspaper declaration of their
election or the scperatc certificate Of the Secretary
OF State, duly aucsted by him, as required by law,
and hence The certificates exhibited by them are
wholly insufficient and worthless. And yet these
certificates served the purpose intended, namely,
keeping the names of the members elect from the
roll and caused the whole matter to be turned
over to the Committee on Elections.
When were the extraordinary certificates pro-
duced by iiooE and WALLACE gotten up! They
admitted in writ,ng on the la Of February 1869,
that REEp and SIMPSON held the certificates of
eleeiien. and that they were contestants for seat
in Congress. Is it not clear, therefore, that these
bogus certificates are the result of an after-hOugh'
