CONkLlNGS APPOINTMENT.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The substitu.
ton Of Conkling for Logan on the SEN
ate committee of seven has given great
satisfaction to all who look forward TO a
tair and an amicable adjustment of the
question OF counting the electoral vote.
The extremists OF the Republican party
fought hard to keep COnkling oil the
committee originally. 1t was with sup
pressed rage that they learned that he
must be placed on the committee. The
vacancy had to be filled by a member of
the judiciary or OF privileges and cleo.
tons committee. The duties and absence
of nearly all the members of the latter
committee narrowed the choice to the
judiciary, and Conkling's name could
not be passed over.
THE COLORADO CASE.
The members OF the judiciary commit
tee making minority report on the
Colorado case are all Democrats. They
are Ward, IIunton, Ashe and Lynde.
leaving but three Democrats on majority
report, Messrs. Knott, Lord and Caul-
field. By this division the minority hope
to gam strength on the Democratic side
OF the house and possibly carry their re.
port through, which would keep the
member out Of the house

EXECUTIVE CHAMBER,
COLUMBIA, Dec. 20, 1876.
Ny DEAR SIR have the honor to ell
close copy OF my inaugural as the duly
elected governor OF South Carolina. In
view OF current events. and the official
sanction given 20 gross misrepresenta-
ton OF the acts and purposes OF the ma
jority of the good people of
this commonwealth, deem ii
proper 10 declare that profound
peace prevails throughout this state:
that the course of judicial proceedings is
obstructed by no combination of citizens
thereof; and that the laws for the pro-
lection Of its inhabitants in all their
rights OF person, property and citizen
ship are being enforced in our courts.
While the people of this state are not
wanting either in the spirit or means to
maintain their rights OF citizenship
against the usurped power, which now
deiies the supreme judicial authority of
the state, they have such faith In the
justice OF their cause thar they propose to
leave its yindication to the proper legal
tribunals, appealing at the same time TO
tho patriotism and public sentiment OF
the whole country.
The mnammatory utterances OF a por-
ton OF the public press render il perhaps
not inoppor tune for me TO state that, al
though the people In South Carolina view
with grave concern the present political
conjuncture, in the affairs OF our country,
which threatens 10 subject to an extreme
test the republican system Of government
itself, 1t is their firm and deliberate pur-
pose TO condemn any solution OF the ex-

AN IMPUDENT REoUEsT.-How-
ever deficient his other accomplish
ments, it must be admitted that Sit
ting Bull is sublimely endowed with
impudence. His request TO be al
lowed the privilege of visiting Fort
Peck to trade for ammunition, is a
striking case in point. The willy
savage must entertain very lofty
idea oe the forbearance and generos-
ity Of his enemy, or remain in pitis-
bic ignorance Of that enemy's inten-
tions. However the fact that he's in
want of powder and bullets is a
sure Indication of his crippled con-

THE M1ssIssIPPI's MoUTH.-Af-
ter years of failure by dredging and
other systems to keep an opening
sufficiently deep to permit the pGs-
sage of heavy draught vessels into
the mouth of the Mississippi, the sue
cess achieved thus far under the on
gineering superintendent of Capt.
J. B. Eads, OF St. Louis, has sufficed
to vindicate the jetty system when
applied to our greatest American
rivers. 1t will be recollected that in
May last a steamer drawing fourteen
feet six inches of water passed ip
safety through the jetties. The lat
est information from these jetties is,
that from the head of the South Pass
to the sea there is a channel from
twenty-five to thirty feet deep,
across a width of two hundred feet,
complying with the requirement of
Congress. A few weeks time will
suffice to complete the work.
