HAS HE JURISDICy:SN3

The action of Judge Bond in sitting at
defiance the judgments of the Supreme
Court Of this State give rise to the above
inquiry. His Court is established by act
Of Congress, and has no jurisdiction un-
der common law, and hence only such as
is given it by statute. There is no statute
Of Congress giving the Circuit Court Of
the United States the right to review the
decision of the Supreme Court of any
State. Even OH questions affecting the
national constitution, ali appeal from the
Supreme Court of IL State lies to the
United States Supreme Court.
But the election for President and Con-
gressmcn is not subject to review by til e
United States Courts so far us the provis-
ion of the State law for the conduct of
the election are concerned. 1t is purely
State matter, and the adjudication Of
the State Supreme Court upon it is final.
One State chooses electors by the Legis-
laturc, another by the people, a nd its own
Courts must decide its laws We shall
probably refer to this subject at greater
length in our next issue, hut for the pres
cnt we mist contoii: ourselves with sug-
ges'i,g that Congress ought to impeach

concurrent resolution from the Senate
was adopted To wait on the Governor and
inform him that the General Assembly
was duly organized and ready for busi-

tion. Governor Chamberlain announced
that lie had nothing TO communicate.

GEN. HAMPTON SPEAKS.

On last Tuesday the crowd whicl,
gathered ut the State House ut the hour
Tor the assembling of the Legislature
WAS immense, and the Federal officers
asked Gen. Hampton, who was ut the
State House, to prevent the crowd from
pushing upon the scnpnels ut the doors.
1t WAS wonderful admission for the
| men under Chamberlain. command to
call upon Gen. Hampton to preserve the
public peace, when the purtuuic Coy
ernor from Massachusetts claims and has
frequently charged the Democrats with
being the lawlcss portion Of our State.
Yet, whenever there is any appearance
of trouble, the Federal officers call upon
the Democrats to help keep tho peace.
Why did not Gov. Chamberlain, as the
Chief Executive of South Carolina, per-
form the task of keeping the crowd back
Tho officers did not ask his assistance,
because they knew that he has neither
the confidence nor respect of our people,
and if lie had that ho was too much of
coward to attompt to preserve the peace
when danger is possible. We venture
tho assertion that Chamberlain did not
show himself during tho day without a
guard OF United States troops. There
was, however, no danger to tho public
pence on this occasion, and the following
patriotic words from Gen. Hampton
caused the Democrats and many of the
Republicans to retire from the Capitol:
"MY FRIENps-I am truly doing
what have done earnestly during this
whole exciting contest, pouring oil on
the troubled waters. Il ia Of the greet
est Importance to us all as citizena Of
South Carolina, that peace should be
preserved. 1 appeal to you all, white
and colored, as Carolinians, to use every
effort to keep down violence or turbu-
lence. One act of violence may precipi-
tate bloodshed and desolation. i'm
plore you. then, to preserve the peace.
] beg all of my friends 10 dispsrse-
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 in the Law and the Constitu-
tion, and we have perfect faith in tho
justice of our catiHe.;'

A PROTEST FROM THE DEMOCRATS.


The Democratic members o, the House

Capitol on Tuesday when the members
from Edgeticld and Laurens were refused

against the infamous tyranny and usurpa-

BACKS OUT.

The, following telegraphic correspon-
dence shows that the Democratic party Is
desirous of abiding the law and having a
verdict that is satisfactory to the country
as regards .hc count OF South Carolina
vote. The reply Of the Chief Justice ia
not such as to inspire the people that he
Is equally desirous Of having the action OF
the United States Conrt in this State
above suspicion. AS o lawyer he could
not afford to endorse the revolutionary
action now ',,ing had in this State. As q
partisan, he could not afford to rebuke
the rascals who are stealing tho vote OF
:li4 State for Hayes and the corrupt
minions of Grantism, The dispatch from
the Chief Justice is the reverse OF assur-
ing to the country. Itisaententioas and
indicates no concern for the welfare oi

The Supreme Court met at 1880 u. iii.
to-day. The Chief Justice asked if
counsel desired to submit any order No
response bei"g made, he stated that as
respondent had taken notice of the rule
Of Court, and had made to reply thereto,
judgment would be rendered. This was
that each member Of Board OF State
Canvassers be adjudged in contempt Of
Court, and should pay fnc of 81 500
each, aud be incarcerated in Richland
County Jail until further order of the
Court. Sheriff Dent being in attendance
upon the funeral Of his son, (shot by
Senator Cochran Wednesday night,)
members OF Board were placed under ar
rest, and will surrender themselves for
mally to the Sheriff at five o'clock this
afternoon. Proceedings for contempt in
case of United States District Attorney
d. L. Corbin are still pending. He read
returns disclaiming contempt in fact or
intent, and asked for time, which was
granted, until Monday. Court then
took up case Of Presidential Electors,
aud argument was heard. a recess has
now been tnken until 4 p. III. II is
thought that the Board will submit to
arrest quietly, and lie in Jail for ii time,
their offices being closed, and State Gov
crnmcnt virtually clogged. Judge Bond
will scarcely interfere. Will inform you
Of any further developments.

cur.
1t is almost too much to expect that
there will be no indiscrcet man in South
Carolina who may provoke the collision.
but nevertheless the providence of God
has so far guided you and your people in
all yo-,r difficulties that your friends rest
in calm confidence upon the wisdom and
good fortune which have so far attended
your actions. You may rest assured that
your Northern brethren have consecrated
themselves to the work of your deliver
ance, and will never cease their efforts
until you arc restored to that freedom

labo-s and sacrifices and wisdom Of our
