THE ELECTORAL COLLEGES.

On Wednesday, of last week, the various
Electoral Colleges met in the capitals oftheir
respective States and cast their votes for Pres
ident and Vice.President. The Electors of
both tickets in two of the contested States
Louisiana and South Carolina In
the former State-which the Returning Board
decided gave Hayes and Wheeler majority
the Republican Electors, bearing certificates
from Governor Kellogg, met in the Senate
chamber of the capitol and voted unanimously
for Hayes and Wheeler. The Tilden and
Hendricks Electors, with certificates signed
John McEnery, Governor, met in the House
of Representatives and voted unanimously for
Tilden and Hendricks In this State, the
Democratic Electors met in Columbia and
cast their votes for Tilden and Hendricks,
while the Republican Electors met and cast
their votes for Hayes and Wheeler. Florida,
the remaining contested State, was declared
by the Returning Board to have given Hayes
and Wheeler majority of $50, and the Re-
publican Electors met and voted for the can
didates of their ticket. The Democratic
Electors did not 90 through the formality of
voting, but have issued an address to the
Speaker of the House of Representatives, as.
serting that the vote for Hayes and Wheeler
was obtained by fraud, and they give full
narrative of the manner in which the alleged
fraud was perpetrated. 1t is also said that
Attorney General Cooke, member Of the
Canvassing Board, will make a report review

FRIDAY, December 8.


In THE SENATE, Corwin, (Rep.) moved
that the senator from Edge6eld, Gen. Gary,
(Dem.) be admitted. Swails and Whittemore
objected, on the ground that his case was now
in the hands of the committee on privileges
and elections. The motion was not pressed
to vote.
Cochran (Rep.) said that as there was con.
siderable doubt in the minds of senators on
the subject, he would move that committee
of four be appointed to inquire whether q le.
cal quorum exists in the House of Represen-
tatives, and to report as speedily as possible.
Laid on the table. '5 -
The Congressional committee here appear.
ed, and were invited to seats on the floor Of
the Senate. They remained about fifteen
minutes as spectators, and then retired. . 3.
The Senate then took up the Senate bill
relative TO the inauguration Of Governor.
Whittemore advocated It's passage. Nash
objected, because passing the bill would. oe
confession that the inauguration yesterday
was illegal or unconstitutional g The Judge
of Probate administered the the oath yesser-
day. Either he had the right to do 90 or be
did not. If he had, why pass this bill =
he hadn't, then there is no quorum, and
what was done was illegal. He moved %
indefinitely postpone the bill. Agreed to-
18 yeas to ~ nays: s.. Z.
A resolution to go into an election for the
senatorship, vacant on the 4th CT March, Y was
adopted ;the election to take place OF, the 18th.

candles ... t,.,..... {: hrs
After good deal of waiting, the tellers an
nounced that they we're through, and Mackey
said: "The result of the count of the vote for
Governor is as follows: Chamberlain S6,2l6,
Hampton S5,O71 Chamberlain's majority
3,145. Gleaves S6,619, Simpson 82,52O ;
Gleaves' majority 4,O99. Daniel H. Cham.
berlain has, therefore, been duly elected Gov
ernor, aud Richard H. Gleaves, Lieutenant
Governor of the State of South Carolina for
the term of two years"
Both the Senate and Bayonet House then
adjourned. ..:..
In the latter body there were present but
81 legal members, and only SO, even counting
the illegal members. Nash and Cochran
would not give their presence in the House to
The disgraceful outrage At the announce
nent of the vote the negroes got up faint
yell in the hall. 1t was solemn yet ludic-
rous sight to see Mackey squirting through bis
eyeglasses, with the dim glare of two tallow
candles lighting up his face, and declaring
Chamberlain Governor. Mackey, it will be
remembered, had submitted his case to the
Supreme Tribunal in the State, and had he
had the slightest confidence in the legality of
his position, he would never have been so pre-
cipitate in doing that which the Court was
then considering whether he had a ght to do.
In the Bayonet House, this morning, before
any one was admitted excepting the members,
report was submitted from the committee on
privileges and elections, in the case of Aiken
county, recommending the seating of the Rad
ical contestants, G. II. Holland, L. W. James,
Fred. A. Palmer and P. w. Jefferson. The
report was, of course, adopted, and the par
ties named were solemnly sworn in by Mack
ey as Representatives of Aiken county. 1t is
proper to say that this farsical contest was be-
gun and ended without any notice whatever
TO the real representatives from Aiken.
THE CONSTITUTIONAL HOUSE.
The Constitutional House of Representa-
tives assembled at 10 o'clock this morning.
At liza. M, Daniel Bird and John Gibson,
two colored representatives from Fairfield
county, who have hitherto acted with the
Bayonet House, took their oaths in the Con-
stitutional House, and weresworn in by Speak
or Wallace amid great applause.
