New YORK, Dec. 1.-The Herald
prints the following:
"CHARLEsToN, S. C., Dec. l, A. NJ
At A. NJ, Houses are still i'm session.
Members arc sleeping, smoking, con-
versing, and few of them are listen
ing to the cloquencc ofa negro from
Charleston county, known as Fancy
Bill, "Thc Santa Fec Orator" Both
parties arc holding the fort till to-
morrow. The democrats know that
if they go out they will not be re-ad-
mitted, and they propose to stay un-
til II NJ. tomorrow, when tho Laurens
ani Edgctield delegations will doubt
less be elected by federal soldiers
The scene in the hall at this hour is
unique and interesting. Speaker
Mackey, republican, remarked to me
a few moments ago that this was the
first free square meeting of the lcgis-
lature that had ever assembled in
South Carolina. There is free and
easy air about it that does not agree
with the situation as itrcally is.

COLUMBIA, Dec. 1.-The situation is
unchanged. Both bodies have occu-
pied the House of Representatives
since noon yesterday. Numerous
propositions for q compromise availed
nothing. 1t is now 80 o'clock, and
the U. S. troops have not interfcred.
The dcmocrats.and republicans are
still in their seats. 1t is now likely
that a sufficient number of republi-
cans will unite with the democrats in
a plan by which the entire matter
will be settled.

ToRs-THE NORTHERN DEMOCRATS Al
LAST CONVINCED.
Special Telegram 10 The Inter Ocean
New ORLEANS, Nov. ga startling
scene occurred before the rcturnin,
board to-day. Four witnesses were
examined. All had been wantonl,
shot because Of their republican prin
ciplcs. Two were brought to the
city on cots. Their names arc Bcr
James, Eaton Longwood, w. w. Bar.
rell and Eliza Pinkcrson. During
the lattcr's pitiful recital that her hus.
band had been cmAsculatcd and then
killed before her eyes, that her babes
throat was cut in her arms, and that
her own throat was Gashed and breast
and limbs mutilated, Md finally tha,
she was outraged by fSxo white dem.
ocrats. cx -Govcrnor Jka N. Palmer
leaped from his chaf and said in
wrath, ''If this story be false, those
who prepared it for this poor woman
should be hanged. But If. as l firm
ly believe, it is true, the wretchcs
who can perpctratc such atrocities
should be executed without mercy
will spend $4,000 to ferret ont this
case. 1t looks true. This poor wo-
man has certainly been cruelty
wrongcd.
THE QUESTION Is BROADER THAN PREsi-
DENT MAKING.
1t is one of humanity. If she has told
h. T.. ii ~ y 4. n,
at once and hold with a grip of iron,
a people who can see such infamy
without rcmonstrance, even in their
public prints !"
Governor Palmer was greatly cx-
cited while making these remarks
and astoundcd the Louisiana demo-
Gratis, who tried in vain to pacify him.
General George b. Smith, of Wis
consin, also exhibited much excite.
ment, and turning upon the local
democrats, said: "You have decciv.
ed us!" Subsequently Lyman Trnm.

AND RAvIsHERs.
Other witnesses, men and women
who have cruelty suffered are yet Il
take the stand.
Tonight the chief of police ha
been compelled to station a force
around the domicil within which Mrs
Pinkerson lies PROSTATE on bed. A
turbulent democratic crowd is assem-
blcd, and loud with menace.
Atlast it is evident that
EVEN NORTHERN DEMOCRATS CANNOT
RETURN HOME AND SHEER
down southern democratic outrages
as myths. The testimony which Johr
Sherman, General Garfield, Eugene
Hall, General White, Cortland T.
Parker, +. w. Stoughton, and Jndg,
Kelley will furnish the North, will
startle the whole country. 1t is ;
record of democratic infamy and cru
city which would disgrace the Mo
docs.

General Hampton, at the request Of
the Federal officer commanding. ad-
dressed the excited crowd, and said
II am truly doing. what have
done during this whole exciting con-
test pouring oil on the troubled
waters. 1t is of the greatest import
ance to us all as citizens Of Soutb
Carolina, that peace should be pre-
served. l appeal to you all, white
men and colored, as Carolinians, to
use every effort to keep down vio-
lcnce or disturbance. One act of
violence may precipitatc bloodshcd
and desolation. l implorc you then
to preserve the peace. / beg all ofmy
friends to disperse, TO leave the
grounds of the Capitol, and advise
all the colored men to do the same.
Keep perfectly quiet leave the streets
and do nothing to provoke riot. We
trust to the law and the constitution.
We have perfect faith in the Justice
of our cause"
The whites Immediately dispersed,
and their example was followed by
great many colored people.
The democratic members elect to
the House of Representatives met at
Z o'clock p. m, in Carolina Hall.
Sixty-four democrats and two repub-
licans participated, and were sworn
in by Judge Cook. The House or
ganizcd and will claim q recognition
tomorrow. This leaves fifty-eight
republicans in the House, or less than
the quorum claimed by them, and
five less than the number which the
democrats claim is necessary for
quorum. Each House will demand
of the Secretary of State returns of
the vote for Governor.
All is quiet tonight. The Supreme
Court has not yet decided the ques-
ton of counting the electoral vote.

One View to Take.

NHw YORK, Augusp 9.-The Herald this
morning, in long editorial on the
Southern question, suggests that instead
of all the Offices being filed as they now
are by colored men, that the rude unlet-
tered representatives OF that race in the
South, warned and guided by the Repub-
lican leaders, give up their greed ct pub
lie office and select their governors,
sheriffs, legislators, judges and county
supervisors from among the educated
and property owning white residents.
1t says we should like to see the colored
men calling upon these and not the far
off, and to ID great extent, powerless
Federal Government for justice and pro-
lection against the lawless part of the
community. 1t does not excuse violence,
but these crimes in the South are not
without cause. They are the results ol
long course of abuse by unscrupulous
and selfish Northern adventdrers, and it
suggests as a cure a non-intertereHce
policy to see what will happen if these
adventures can no longer call upon the
Federal power to maintain them.
