the question of water-works. He gave
much valuable information and advice

One Of the things done by the
Confederate House of Representa-
tlves ct Washington OH the first
day ofits session, was to refuse to
admit the member from the new
State of Colorado, Mr.. Bedford.
This was An outrage pot only on
Colorado but on precedent and
common dscSncy. If this 10 q spec
linen Of the Craftsmanship we are to
have this winter, we fear honest
Democrats even will be put to the
blush. It was shown that the Pres-
ident's proclamation had been is-
sued In accordance with law, declar-
Ing It State, that the State legisla-
>ture was in session, and the courts
also, and that the two Senators had
been admitted by the Senate, bat
all OF no avail. The case of Mr..
Bedford went to the partizau judic-
AIRY committee. This was Q Demo
cratic trick for the purpose of re-
fusing recognition to Colorado. It
is the intention to try to throw out
the three Republican Electoral
votes Of that State. 1t is the inten-
ti0n Of the Democrats to resort to
query conceivable dodge to count
Tilden in as President, and the re-
fnsal to recognize Colorado in the
House il but q part of the Tilden
nro0ramme.

Appropos of the proposition Of Sen
ator Ingalls,, of this State, for a new
constitutional cow entiOn to amend
the national constitution, comes an
important suggestion frsm Ex-Sena-
tor Carl Schurz, and others. A dis
patch from ST. Lousis, dated Monday,
says that Mr.. Schurz, John B. Hen
derson and other prominent men OF
that city have forwarded letter to the
President Of the Uaited States Senate
relative to counting the Electoral vote,
with request that he lay it before
the Senate. They say the present con-
dition Of the country calls for some
action which shall settle the political
disquietude. The clause in the Con-
stitution respecting the cavassing OF
the Electoral vote Is quoted, and pre-
nounced indehRite and liable to divers
constitutions. The attempt to canvass
the vote In joint session Of Congress
is deprecated as certain TO raise parti-
san issues and develope . strife which
may prove most disastrous to the
country. The letter then proposes
IS q remedy that the whole matter
shall be referred to the Supreme
Court Of the United States. 1t Ii
urged that that is the only tribunal
from which fair and bipartisan de-
cisiOn-ene which will satisfy the
whole people-can be obtained. TC
effect this, the latter proposes that the
two Houses shall improve the three
weeks preceding Christmas in framing
and agreeing upon q constitutional
amendment, placing in the Supreme
Court the duty Of canvassinG the EIec-
toral vote. The most of the State
Legislatures meet Immediately after
the holidays, when the amendment
would be ratified without delay, 80
that 1t could be made q part of the
Constitution, and apply to the present
election. Both of the Presidential
candidates, 1t is urged, would recognize
the wisdom of this cousre, and both
the Republican and Democratic Leg
islatHres would ratified it.
The letter dwells at length on the
wisdom of removing the important
matter from a tribunal likely to be af-
fscted by party strife.

a squabble I'm Nebra.l<a

Omaha, December 2.--GoV. Garner
has issued q call to the members Of
the last Legislature for an extra
session Of the Legislature at Lin
coin, to meet December 9th, for the
purpose of csnvassing the Electoral
vote.
The Democrats are maneuvering
to carry the matter to the Courts, ss
the law OH the subject previous to
the adoption of the new State Con-
stitution and that of the new Con-
stitution differ very materially.
The former provides that the Exec
utivs officers of the State shall count
the vote of the latter in the same
manner IS that for congressman by
the Legislature. Great activity ex-
hibited among leading politicians
eff both parties
The Democratic Electors, to-day,
presented petition to Judge Saw
age, of the District Court, which
prays that a perpetual Injunction
be granted restraining the Republi-
can Electors from meeting and cast
ing their votes for President. The
petition states that Golf, one of the
Republican Electors, is ineligible
from the fact that he is disbursing
officer of the United States in the
construction of the Post Office at
Lincoln ; alleges that the Governor,
Secretary of State and Attorney
General conspired to evsde and de-
feat the laws of the State, and issued
or caused to be Issued by County
Clerks envelopes with the address
of the Secretary of State thereon, to

The Court ordered a hearing of
the case on Monday, December 4, at
4 p. m.
1t is thought that quorum will
not answer the Governors call for
a special session of the Legislature.
Many of the Senators are absent, and
others can not be reached ia time. |
1t lie claimed that the Democrats
will all stay away. The Senate is
of twenty Republicans,

dents.

unanimously rejected the votes
stated to have been cast at those
polls. In the adjoining parishes
OF West Felicina a statement OF
the votes cast at the poll were re-
jeeted on similar conclusive evi-
dence. In the parish or Ouachita
eight polls were rejected, whilst in
the city of Monroe, tue parish
seat of that parish, the statements
of the votes cast were accepted,
because the voters there were
measurably protected from Vio-
lence by the
PRESENCE OF L. S. TBoCPS.
The United States Deputy Mar

at one of the rejected polls, was
shot and we threw out the whole

attic intimidation, murder and vi
olence towards one class of voters,
white as well as black, of such a
character as to have scarcely a
parallel even in the history of this
State. In the adjoining parish of
Morehouse the statements of
votes reported to be cast in six
polls were rejected on similar evil
dence. The polls were also rejected
in the parishes of DeSoto, Bcssier,
Franklin, Claiborne and Calcasier
upon clear evidence Of fraud not
rebutted by the evidence offered
before the returning officers.

south Carolina.

We went to press last week with the
statement that the Supreme Court OF
South Carolina had fined the returning
board 81 800 each and sent them to
Jail, and that two separate houses had
been organized at Columbia, one OF
Democrats and one of Republicans.
On the 30th the situation remained
the same except that the troops were
Withdrawn. All in the Democratic
House got into the Hall in the capitol
building early, and proceeded to bust
ness. When the Republican members
came In the Democratic speaker rsfus-
ed to yield the chair, and for two days
the novel scene of two separate
Houses, presided over by separate
speakers, in the same room, was wit
messed. Both sides made speeches,
but No fighting took place. Gen. Ru-
ger refused to let Gov. Chamberlain
use the troops again. Monday, Dec.
4th, 100 armed state constables are
sworn in, to remove the Democratic
members, and the latter vacated the
hall without waiting to be removed,
and went to their old quarters in Car
DINA Hall. The Republican House
swOre in contestants from EdgfAld and
other counties, got quorum, and pro-
ceeded to business. The Supreme
Court, by Tuesdays telegram, was
still engaged in hearing an argument
for the discharge of the returning
board, and application had also been
made to the U. S. District Court to
relieve the beard from the order of
the State Supreme Court.
The following is the latest as We
go to press:
COLUMBIA, s. c., December 5.-The
Democratic House has gained two
more from the Republican House,
with certificates of the beard of can
vassers. making 50, and lacking only
one of a constitutional quorum. Both
Houses are in session, and also the
Senate. The troops are still retained
In the State House for the purpose
OF protecting the Governor. A senti-
mel constantly PAGES the corridor in
front of Gov. Chamberlain's office.
The Senate and House, in joint session,
after the passage of the concurrent
resolution, met and cast the vote for
Governor and Lieutenant-G Governor.
The counties OF Edgefield and Laurens
which gave Hampton over 1000 ma
jOrity, were previously thrown out,
when the Democratic Senators retired
from the hall. When the returns
were canVassed, Lieut. Governor
CleaVes, (colored) and Speaker Mack
ey, declared Chamberlain elected by
3,e44 votes. Adjourned.
1t Is expected that Chamberlain
will be inaugurated tomorrow. The
Hampton house has been in session all
day. Their action was unimportant,
except they gained two more members
from the Mackey house, making their
membership si2ty-two holding GER
rificates of the board of State canvass
ers and seventy, including the Edge
field and Laurens delegations, who
hold certificates of the Supreme Court.
Hampton spoke this evening, de-
claring that ne intended to be Cover
nor.
1t is stated that President Grant has
agreed to recognize as the legal House
whichever one first gets full quorum
on the certificates of the returning
beard.

Charles Jones, a young man about
twenty years Of age, was out hunting
rabbits with three or four other young

one of the other boys to hand him the
gun. AS he did so, the gun being
cooked, was discharged, the ball enter
ing Jones' hip, passing through his
bowels and one of his kidneys. He
was taken to the house of Mr.. Jacobs,
where he died. He lived about eight
hours after he was shot. We hope
this will be warning to those who

Special Telegram to the Inter Ocean
NEW ORLEANS, NoY. 2S.-A start
ling scene occurred before the Return
ing Board to-day. Four witnesses
were examined. All had been wan
sonly shot because of their Republican
principles. Two were brought to the
city on cots. Their names are Ben
James, Eaton Longwood, w. w. Bar
rel, and Eliza Pinkerton. During the
latter's pltiful recital that her husband
had been emasculated and then killed
before her eyes, that her babes throat
was gashed and her breast and limbs
mutilated, and finally that she was
outraged by tive white Democrats, ex-
Governor John n. Palmer leaped from
his chair and said in wrath, {. If this
story be false, those who prepared it
fer this poor woman shonld be hanged.
But If, as firmly believe, it is true,
the wretches who can perpetrate such
atrocities should be executed without
mercy. / will spend SIC, 900 to ferret
out this case. It looks true.
This poor woman has certainly been
cruelty wronged. The question is
broader than Presi6ent-makiHg. It is
one Of humanity. If she has told the
truth Sheridan should come back at
once and hold with grip of iron peo-
pie who can see such infamy without
remembrance, even in their public
printsi"
Governor Palmer was greatly ex-
sstounded the L0uisiaia Democrats,
who tried in vain to pacify him.
General George B. Smith, of Wis
consin, also exhibited much excite
ment, and turning upon the local DEM
Ocrats, said: You have deceived as r.
subsequently, Lyman Trumbull, who
was absent from the room during the
woman's recital, fatty cOncurred with
Palmer. The Generalization of the
Democrats here Is complete, not only
because of facts disclosed, but because
Of the names of leading Democrats
who are exposed in detail as the muir
derefs and ravishers. Other witnesses,
men and women, who have cruelty
suffered are yet to take the stand.
Tonight the Chief of Police has
been compelled TO station q force
around the domicile within which Mrs.
PinkleBen lies PROSTATE on q bed. A
turbulent Democratic crowd is assem-
bled, and loud with menace.
At last it is evident that even North
ern Democrats cannot return home
and sneer down Southern Democratic
outrages as myths. The testimony
which John Sherman, General Gar
field, Eugene Hall, General White,
Cortland T. Parker, E. w. Stoughton
and Judge Kelley will furnish the
North will startle the whole country.
It Is a record of Democratic infamy
and cruelty which would disgrace the
Modocs.
