sthey come into Curt tomorrow
Shg. There is good reason 10 sups-
srsl i, is stated. by parties who haH
to know, That the order has betY
s "a cut TO night. and the Board sent@-
that a United States Marshal was IN
snr. TO take them out of the custody
e Stare officers. Judge Bond, OF Tifr
Sd States Circuit Court, is here. and
Zen for some time, and is the COR
eeompanion ef Chamberlain. Should

8slbt entertained but that troops will
cred totakc possession Of tho State

I'Def-tSA the Legislature to enter who llak
not Certificate from the Board of Gag,
vassers The Boarel having thrown out
the counties of Edgefeld and Laurens,
this will give the Radicals majority of
eleven OH joint ballot. The people are
intensely excited and eXasperatod at tine
anticipated consunination Of the con-
spiracy, but 40 trouble is appreherdc1.
Nothing could induce anything like 1p-
nosition to tho National troops, and the
Democrats will have to submit tQthc
State being stolen from them after their
hard earned victory.
