COLUMBIA, s. c., Dec. 6, 1876.
The Supreme Court has Just decided
that the organization of the House of
Representatives under Speaker Wallace
is the only legal and constitutional house
The decision maintained that Mackey is
only private citizen, and that Hayne
violated the law in delivering the returns
for Governor and Lieutenant Governor
to Mackoy. Bridges, Republican colored
member from Newberry, made BIS ap-
pearance before Speaker Wallace this
morning, and after assigning the reasons
ior MS conduct, took tho oath and az
sumed his place as member of the
constitutional House. This makes sixty
three members with certificates from The
Secretary of State, which insures recog.
milton at Washington, and most likely
by the Senate in day or two. Tho
proposed bogus Inauguration of Cham.
berlain will not take place in four or
five days, If ever. Hampton will be
inaugurated in due time, but good rea.
sons exist for not announcing the pro-
gramme.

any order to interfere with Tie Legisla.

cratic members Of the Legislature 20
leave the Radicals in a majority. He
knew all this, and under these circum.

President Grant in late conversation
with Hon. A. s. Hewitt, member of
Congress from New York, stated that it
was not his province to decide whether
the election in the States had been fair or
not, but assuming that Congress should
decide to throw out tho electoral votes of
Louisiana, in consequence of frauds in
the returns, he discussed the effect of such
action on the final result, and when it
would necessarily throw tho election of
President into the House of Representa-
tives and OF Vice President into the
Senate.

SWORN in the Mackey House, left that or

House. Tho-c make six Republicans
who have left the rump concern and uni

and who being added to The fity.six
Democrats holding certificates of election,
irem the Secretary of State, make sixty
two members. The President has siyni-
fed his intention to recognize the House
which shall be composed of sixty three
members holding certificates OF election
from the Secretary Of State, and we are
quite hopeful that several more will Join
Us within day or two. The Democrats
are all quite jnbilant at the prospects,
and in the meantime the Radicals nre
concocting more vilniny. The Senate
and Radical House passed concurrent

The Democrats withdrew from the

to-day, and assembled at Carolina Hall
This course of action was pursued in con-
sequen.o of threatened expulsion from
the building by the State Constabulary
backed by the United States trorps, and
the Democratic members deemed it pru.
dent and wise to leave before actual force
WAS employed. Intense excitement and

since the departure Of the Democrats

are hopeful. Four Republicans have
united with them, and others are expect
ed. Both Democrats and Radicals have
been in secret session to-day.

The one day in the three hundred and
sixty-fve that closes its doors upon the wo-
man, is election day. Thanksgiving day is
hers by right of the kitchen altar, and
Christmas comes to her through the chill
dren. In the Fourth of July she has COM
pex and varied interets, and on moving
day, as on st. ValeDtine's. she is indispen-
eible. But election day has no welcome for
her. 1t is not because she does not car9
for the elections, for she is too much of y
partisan not to have her own candidatesh
but she has nothing to do with the ballotk
box, and knows only the excitement of waW-
ing for bhe retttns. If they do not COME
at nighS when the master of the house IN
turns,she waits impatiently for the morning
paper, yet rarely loses her breakfast frorh
either Joy or grief. There was time wheh
sEe made election cake and so had her
humble share in the festivities of the occa
sion, and in the days of our grandmothers
the New Jersey woman who owned fifty
pounds, went to the polls, and had her lit
tie say on paper about her preferences.
But these days are over. The election
cake has given place to refreshments she
does not brew nor bottle, and the one thing
that has no weight that day is the woman's
choice.-Neao Century for Women.

THE FELICIANA FRAUDS IN LOUIsIA-
NA-THROW THEM OUT.

We hope, for the sake of avoiding dis
pute, that the returns sent from the FIVE
''bull-doz3d" parishes OF Louisiana will not
affect the result in that State-Ghat either
Hayes or Tilden will have majority
whether they are counted OF not. For cer-
tainly they ought not to be counted. The
seal Of disapproval should be put upon
them, and if it is done in the face Of the
whole nations attention, with the most ex-
treme publicity, 80 much the better. 1t is
high time that the outrageous and barbar-
GUS acts by which elections in several of the
Southern States have been made simply a
farce should be condemned in the .seyerest
and sharpest manner. The "bull- doing"
of the five parishes in Louisiana was but
the repetition Of what had been done, in
1876, just across the line in Mississippi. 1t
was the same thing that Wade Hamp-
t. on and his outlaws attempted on a
larger scale in South Carolina.
1t was the same means by which Alabama
has been made solid for the Democratic
party, and by which the colored Republicans
of Georgia are held in substantial slavery,
To permit the results of such outrages to
stand as part of an " election" of Presi-
dent by the American people would be not
only inconsistent with every principle oi
free-goyernment, but it would be absolute.
ly destructive of those principles. From
such an election to the seizure of power
by force of arms, without the formality Of
the ballot, there is hardly step. The one
is no worse than the other, and no more
fatal to the rights of honest citizenship.
Whether it shall prove, therefore, tha
the five parishes making the rifle, revolver
and shotgun returns are decisive or not
they should not be counted. If throwing
them out throws out Mr.. Tllden with them
that result, however productive of partisan
contention, will be no more than just re
buke to him and the means by which he la
bored to create "Solid South" He seize,
the chance of election by outrage; let til,
exposure and defeat of outrage be his de
feat.
