Especial telegram. from. Our Own correspondent
COLUMBIA, December 6-Nidnight 1.-The
Democrats are greatly encouraged by the
/ final decision of the Supreme Court to-day
recognizing the Democratic us the legal
House. In refusing to grant . fnandamuS
to compel Mackey to surrender the.votes for
Governor, the Court said Maekey was only
aprivate citizen, not an officer, and o man.
damas could not lie.
The decision renders invalid all the action
OF the Mackey House from its organization
throughout, including the count OF the
votes for Governor, and leaves the Demo
Gratis masters of the situation. The imme-
diate effect of the decree may be contested
or obstructed for time, but it is difficult
to imagine upon what grounds, or by whom,
or before what court.
Attention is now directed to the Senate,
which stands in the awkward position OF
having recognized the illegal House. II it
reconsiders the matter, and accepts the de-
cision OF the Supreme Court as its guide in
its action tomorrow, the Mackey- Cham ber-
lain bubble collapses at once, and new era
begins. II it proves unruly by reason OF
its Republican majority confusion is fur
|.ther confounded. 1t will then be fight be-
tween the Senate and Chamberlain UersuS
House and the Supreme Court; but the
Senate depends upon the House for funds,
and Chamberlain upon Cardozo, the. pre-
sent State Treasurer. fe
The: Court will be asked to enioin the
banksof deposit from honoring Cardozo's
drafts and the holder Of the purse wins
in the end. The people will pay no tax
except to the Hampton administration.
The Tilden and Hendricks electors met
