The Action Explained.

The report that came first from
South Carolina relative to the ad-
journment of the Returning Board,
were calculated 10 arouse suspi-
cions Is 10 the fairness Of the boards
action. A dispatch dated yesterday
received from Columbia puts differ
cut face upon matters. 1t says:
The Law Of South Carolina as in
terpreted by the Board, and always
acted on heretofore, requires the
Board To complete their work Us
State Can.ass~rs within ten days
from the time they commenced their
session, Saturday excepted. The
time expires at noaa to-day. There
is difference of opinion among
lawyers rs to the true Interpretation
Of the statutes, but ut all events
there is now, and has been, no order
Of the Court requiring them to set
longer than the ten days they have
been accustomed to set. The Board
therefore completed its work and ad-
journed sine die at the expiration OF
that time. and Is no longer in exis-
tence. The Board gives rs reason
tor their adjournment sine ME:
First, that rs the statutes a. they in
tcrpret them requires them to do 50;
and second, If they had not done 1t
the Democrats might hereafter
clam that they have no power to
issue certificates because the time
for them to do It has expired: in
other words il was done to prevent
tho possibility of the Democrats get
tiHg any advantage hereafter In the
pretense that the Board had not N.
piled with tho Law.
