SOUTH CAROLINA.

No inauguration on the 9th, as expec-
ted. Wade Hampton said in speech
that "By the eternal God, will be gov.
ernor of South Carolina"
In Louisiana, South Carolina and
Florida, the defeated Democratic candi-
dates for electors met and cast their votes
for Tilden.
In Alabama the Republican candidates
met and cast their votes for Hayes.
In Missouri there was an ineligible
Tilden elector-a rebel whose disabilities
had never been removed, and the Repub.
lican elector had certificate, and was
refused chance to vote, Democratic
substitute being elected by the balance of
the Board. This is just such case as
that of Oregon, and if the Republican
vote is not counted in Oregon, then il
should be in Missouri, for it is as broad
as it is long.
There is no doubt of Hayes election,
and no doubt but that he will inaugura
ted.
LATER-Gov. Chamberln Of South
Carolina, was inaugurated, Thursday
Dec. Z. in presence of both Houses
There is still some prospects of trouble.

VOTE OF THE OREGON ELECTORS.

PORTLAND, Dec. S.-The despatch
says, in an interview with Watts to-day,
he states positively that when Secretary
Chadwick slipped the certifca tes of elec-
ton through the door in Cronin's hand,
the other electoral candidates present
asked what the sealed envelope contained
Cronin answered that it contained the
certificates of election. Watts, Cartwright
and Odell asked to see the certificates
Crenin declined to allow them. The re-
quest was made three times by the cleo
tor named, and each time denied The
elect0r then demanded that he should
produce the certificate. Cronln refused
in most emphatic terms, at the same time
thrusting the envelope into his breast
pocket, and buttouiug his coat The
electors say no one in the room but CrOn-
ia saw what he claimed was certificates.
So far as they had positive or Judicial
knowledge the envelope contained nothing
except blank slips. He claimed he was
an elector, and said he had certificate
and asked permission to act with Cart
wright and Odell. These gentlemen did
not refuse at any time to recognize him
or to act with him. They demanded
that he would exhibit his certificate and
show what right he had to claim a seat in
the Electoral Board. This he also posi-
lively refused to do. Cronin himself
withdrew and declared as the other two
gentlemen refused to act, there existed
two vacancies in the Board, which he
proceeded to fill, appointing Miller and
Parker, two staunch Democrats, and cast
the so-called electoral ballot of the State.
The Republicans electors after casting
the electoral ballot, prepared full and
complete statement of what took place il
the room, of everything that was sale
and done, to which was appended thi
affidavit This statement has been for
warded together with the sealed ballot tt
the President of the Senate. At an in
dignation meeting here last night, Gov
Grover was burned in efigy on a publi
street by crowd of excited citizens

refused to act with Cronin, when Cronin
declared vacancy, and elected j. N. T.
Miller and ID. Parker to fill the places of
the electors, and vote being taken, Gro
min voted for 1ilden and Hendricks. and
the two others for Hayes and Wheeler
Cartright and Odell first accepted the
resignation of elector Watts, and then
elected him to fill the vacancy and cast
the vote of the States for Hayes and
Wheeler. There is great excitement and
the Republicans are indignant at the
Governors action.
LATER-SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 6.-La-
ter advices from Salem, Oregon, report
that the Governor issued certificates to
Odell and Cartright, Republicans, and
Cronin, Democrat. The latter declined
to show his authority at the meeting of
the electors, and the Republicans refused
to recognize him. Cronin then elected
j. N. I. Miller and John Parker, as Re
publican electors, and proceeded to cast
the vote, two for Hayes and one for Til
den.
The Republicans organized, Watts re-
signed, and was at once reelected, and the
vote cast for Hayes and Wheeler, which
with their sworn statement, and copies of
the abstract of votes cast in the State,
certified to by the Secretary of State
with seal attached, were sealed and sent
on.
GREAT INDIGNATION.
Intense excitement prevails, and an
outbreak is expected by many who went
to the State House prepared for any
emergency. The Republicans are holding
an indignation meeting this evening.

for the taking of afidavits, on these ques-

may examine eligibility under the Consti-

whether the appointment of electors, or
those claiming to be such in any State,
have been by force, or otherwise than
conformable TO the Constitution and

and unlawful interference have been
made with the appointment of any elec-
tor. The committee may also report,
whether Congress has any constitutional
power, and il so, to what extent thereof
concerning the appointment of Presiden-
tial electors, or over returns, or certifi-
Gates of the votes of such electors. This
is making great deal of excitement
among the friends of the bulldozers.

In the Senate, Blaine aud the two Ser-
ators from Colorado, took their seats for
the first time. Senator Edmonds intro

Representatives shall be apportioned

suffrage is denied, any male citizen twenty
one years old in any State, or national elec-

basis of representation, therein, shall be
reduced in proportion which the number
of such male citizens bear to the whole
number of male citizens in such State,

TIE BROOKLYN FIRE.

A horrible fire broke out in one of the
Brooklyn theatres last Tuesday night, by
which $50 persons were burned or tramp
led to death. The fire caught in the
scenery, and there was plenty Of time for
all to escape but for that crazy, senseless
frenzy that seizes some at fire, when
they all started in arush for the door,
and despite the endeavors Of the cooler
ones, and the police the Immense number
of $50 were smothered or burned to death.
Both New York and Brooklyn is in mourn
ing and the flags are at half mast. The
burned corpses lie in piles, four or five
bodies deep, presenting horrible appear
ance. 1t is too horrible to dwell upon.

is cultivated as a heroic art, in which bor-
der-rufianism is a licensed system, and in
the greater part of which popular ignor-
ance is bliss and total deprayity the nor
NAL condition of society, has given about
10000 majority for Tilden.
" Per contra, Iowa, its next door neigh
Dor, with its schools, churches, and pop
ular respect for law, order and the decen-

10000 majority.

HAYES ELECTED.
Outrage in Oregon.

The Electoral Colleges met in the var
ious States Wednesday, and cast their
votes, 185 for Hayes and lS4 for Til6en.
In Oregon, Grover, the Democratic
Governor, attempted the most high
handed outrage that has ever been at
tempted in American politics. The
State of Oregon gave nearly 100 Re-
publican maj. each for the three electors.
One of the Republican electors Watts,
was postmaster, but resigned the day
after election, by telegraph, and his
resignation vas accepted at once. Demo-
Gratis claimed that this disqualified Watts,
and called on the Democratic governor
not to issue him a certificate of
election. The Governor delayed action
until tie morning of the meeting of the
electoral college, when it was too late to
make defense, and then he issued certi-
fcate to the Democrat-Cronin, who was
defeated by Watts-and not only did he
give Cronin certificate for himself, but
he gave him the certificates for the Rep,sb-
licans who were elected. The interloping
Democrat would not even allow the Re-
publicans to see their o,oa certificates,
whereupon they went to the Secretary of
States Office, got copies, met, ignored
Cronin, reelected Watts, cast their votes
for Hayes and Wheeler, sent up duly
certified copies of their votss and ad-
journed.
One despatch says:
A despatch from Salem says the Sec
retary Of state has given Cronin, the
Democratic Elector having the highest
number of votes, certificate. The two
Republican Electors refused to act with
him, and assembled and supplied the va
cancy. The Republicans voted for Hayes.
Cronin appointed two Democrats to act
with him, and cast the vote of the State
for Tilden.
Another report says: At noon to-day
the Secretary of State delivered to Gro
min, the Democratic candidate for Elec-
tor contesting the seat of Watts, a post
master, the certificate of appointment of
the Electors, which is evidence that Gov.
Grover has ousted Watts. goli
