SOUTH CAROLINA.

COLUMBIA, November %. The Board of State
Canvassers yesterday made report to the Su-
preme Court stating the persons who had received
the highest number of votes for offices for which
they were candidates. Appended to the reports
of the results was a memorandum of the Board
stating that in their opinion certain irregulari-
ties which affected some of the republican candi-
dates should be corrected and also that the votes
of Laurens and Edgefed counties, which gave
large democratic majorities, should be executed
on account of frauds and intimidation. This
morning the Court made an order commanding
the Board to issue certificates of election to all
the persons who were shown by the reports of the
Board to have received the highest number of
votes for members of the legislature, including
the counties of Edgefeld and Laurens.
The court also to-day took up the case of the
electors, and issued rule on the board to show
cause why they should not correct the staten euts
of the county canvassers by the precinct returns
in their possession.
Pending these proceedings Of the court, how
ever, the board held session, and issued cartif-
Gates TO all the members of the legislature except
for Laurens and Edgeield counties thus securing
majority of the legislature to the republicans,
the defeat of Hampton, and the election of Cham
berlain.
The board also issued certificates of election TO
the Hayes and Wheeler electors and to all the re-
publican State ticket. The board then adjourned
