NEw- ORLEANS, Nov. 30.-The Republican Visiting
Committee from the North invited by the President
TO visit Louisiana and witness the counting of the
vote will return home early next week. carrying
with them very full and complete information OF the
case on the Republican side of the controversy.
Abont a week ago the work was carefully divided,
each gentleman taking all OF the afdayIts from one
or two of the bulldozed parishes and dcvotng him
self TO careful study Of it. In this way all the evil
dence in regard 10 the condition Of things in each
parish has been classified, and careful summary of
il prcpared. For instance, Gen. Garfield has made
himself entirely familiar with the of West Fell
cana Parish and AIr. Hale with that OF East Baton
Rouge.
All of these summaries have been placed IN tie
hands Of Senator Sherman who, with the assistance
Of other members of the committee, will prepare a
report 10 be transmitted to the President This re-
port will be signed by all the gentlemen who came
here at President Grants invitation, and viii be
accompanied by the statements IN regard to each
parish already referred to, and by copies of all ALI
dayits, one thousand in number, from an eXanlna-
ton of which they were prepared. IL Is believed
that President Grant will transmit the whole to
Congress with special message. In tliis way the
Repubican side of the controversy will be placed
before the country in all its details early this

ing that Tilden has honestly carried the State aud
that il will be impossible to count him out on any
plausible prctext. This will probably be signed by
all the members of the Northern Democratic Com
mittec in New Orleans.
The Democrats have compiled all the returns
opened by the Returning Board and publish tho
result this afternoon. There are 20 uncOntested
parishes and in these Hayes has majority OF 7OZ'

have planned bold coup dedt. They first sought to
capture the Supreme Court and next the Leglsa-

after refusing certificates to the Democratic mem

Laurens. Had those members received their certii-

out TO q successful conclusion. The Legislature
would have installed all the Democratic candidates
for State officers and then would have ousted the

Wade Hampton would have speedily commissioned
the Tilden electors
Finding that they were going to meet with an OBJ
stacle in the refusal of Gov Chamberlain and the
officers of the old House to recognize the members
from the two counties who had no certificates, the
Democrats determined to make show of force, and
summoned the rifle clubs from all parts of the State
and even from Georgia, to assemble in Columbia
Nearly 10000 men rallied in response to the sum-
mons. They displayed no arms, but 1t Is known
that their weapons were within ten minutes walk
of the State House. Nothing except the prompt
action of the United States troops blocked

eJcclcu.
A TELEGRAM FROM SENATOR GORDON.
HE DECLARES THAT THE STATE COURT DID NOT
UsURP NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. FOR TIE DEMO-
CRATIC POSITION.
To the Editor OF The Tribune.
SIR You do grave injustice to the Supreme Court
of South Carolina your editorial of the 18th inst
The question as to the powers and duties OF the
Board of State Canvassers arises under the Constu-
ton and laws of the State and is therefore clearly
deternnable by its Supreme Court. Ihs
very question was made before this Board
of Canvassers in November 1874, involving
then the seating of a Senator and eighteen
members of the General Assembly from
the County of Charleston who ran upon the ticket
adverse to that upon which Gov. Chamberlain was
elected. Judge Mackey argued the question on the
ground that the board could not exercise the judicial
function of passing behind return regular upon its
face but must declare the election according to the
returns, and the board sustained his position and
issued certificates to the said claimants.
The Supreme Court exercised jurisdiction over
this very board unquestoned in the Barnwell-Back-
well election case in 1876. The Supreme Court,
therefore, has not usurped power as you allege.
Durell, to whom yOu unustly compare Chief
Justice Moses was condemned on the very ground
that we condemn the action Of Judge Bond, namely,
that being United States Circuit Judge, ana the
issue having arisen solely under the Constitution
and laws of the State he had no jurisdiction in the
premises. The Supreme Court of the United States
has repeatedly decided that the Interpretation of the
statute of State by its court of last resort binds all
the Federal courts. This board is the creature solely
of statute and not of the Constitution. If, there
fore, the Supreme Court cannot decide upon
the statutes of a State and control the action of
board created there citizen can have any redress
for wrong at its hands. To deny the power OF the
Supreme Court of a State to construc the statute
law and enforce it's judgment, is to bring absolute
anarchy.
To make Judge Bonds interference appear clearly
unwarrantablc state the fact that he has released
from the jail the members OF the board after they
had declared on oath that they had discharged all
their functions and had adjourned sine die. Hence
il cannot be alleged in justification of Judge Bond
that hc ntcrposed to protect them in discharge Of
functions affecting Presidential electors, the board
having already issued certificates to the electors.

ERROR.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE
COLUMBIA, S. G.. Nov 800 D. MAT o p. IN.
both Houses are in session. A Republican
and Democrat on the floor at
the same time, filling the air with
bombast. Neither Speaker is able to keep order.
Both have appealed to Gen. Ruger but he Will
not interfere except to keep the peace.
There is less excitement outside than
at any period since the contest began. II is under
stood that Gen. Kruger has asked the President to
decide whether the House, as organized by Speaker
Mackey, is a legay-organized body. If 1t IS, he
will enforce his orders and eject the Laurens and
Edgefed delegation as ntruders before the
hour fixed on tomorrow to go into JOINT
Assembly to count the votes for Governor and Lieu
tenant Governor. The Democrats admit that they
make great error in not taking their seats on Tues
day, leaving out the excluded delegations To-day
events prove that they would have captured enough
Republican votes to have given them the speaker
ship and the organization They could have re-
paired the error to-day if they had been willing to
cut loose from the violent Edgeeld shotgun policy

full legislature the whole question OF
the succession would have been settled before the
end Of this week. Gov. Tilden would have added
the votes of South Carolina to his score, and
his partisans in Congress would have promptly
changed their tune and denied the right of either
House of Congress to go behind the returns
To-day's news from Columbia is not considered
important by members of the Administration. The
movement of the Democrats in getting into the
State House in advance Of the Republicans will
avail nothing If the claimants of seats who have
no certificates of election should be found in the hall
tomorrow, and should refuse to leave they will be
elected.
