THE SOUTH CAROLINA INvEsTIGATIoN-THE
STATE FOR HAYES AND HAMPToN.-Co Column
bia, $. g., December 2S.-[Special dispatch
to the Baltimore Sun. THE House congress
sional ommittee-composed OF Messrs.
Say!or, Lawrence, and Abbott-was en-
gagged to-day in examining witnesses re-
garding alleged intimidation Of Republi-.
cans, and adjourned sine die tonight. The
committee, in conversation, gave it as their
conclusion, after most careful examination
for three weeks, that they believe that the
majority of the votes actually cast by the ro-
tiers of the State is for the Hayes and w hecler
electors, as shown by the precinc t-managers'
returns, and that the maiorities run from
900 to 500 without questioning any OF the re-
turns. Ifthis was anything but great ma
tional. question: and was to be decided upon
mere legal points, there are probably pre-
cinct irregularities enough to overthrow this
result. 4aGf1Fi bEE g "s.";%!1 1870.
II asked my informant, Mr. sayior, con-
corning the result in the State he replied:
$50 far as the State election is concerned
there is no doubtful Hampton is elected
by 1,100 majority, and lin my Judgment the
balance of the Democratic State ticket Also,
He went on to say that the testimony of the
army officer conefusiyely disproye: the state
ucnts VI Cno' ucSEO NitneSscS US w iutfiuls
'dation at the polls, and showed that the
EllentonIr riot had mo- political significance.
This was conceded even by the Republican
committeeman" In conclusion, Mr.. Saylor
said think Hampton will be Governor.
II the returns indicate the election OF
Hayes in this State, DIS no doubt they do,
much more do they indicate the election Of
Hampton and the entire Democratic State
ticket by decisive majority. '5.-.z Il

,Coneressiona, By.play,.

We have already alluded 70 the scene in
Che House Of Representatives on Wednes-'
day Of che reading Of General sHsRIpAN'si
letter denouncing WELLS, Of louisiana. Ii
is dated June Q, 1867. Besides denouncings
WELLS as g a Political trickstsr and dishon-'
est man, y the General said: :
# I" He has embarrassed me very much since
/ came into command, by his subterfuge
and political chicanery mas,
not one friend who Is On honest man" ].
WELLS has not altered, and sHERIDAN,s
dcnunciation Of all who then beiriended
him falls as Justly now upon. GARFIELD VINO
throws himself into the. breach as the de-.
fender OF the "trickster and dishonest
man." s
when Mr.. SPRINGER heard the sentence
lust quoted read he aIchly requested that IL
be read again, and it vas read. GARFIELD
was Joined by FRYE, OF Maine, in defence
OF WELLS, and in the course OF his remarks
he quoted SHERIDAN as stating that nearly
three thousand colored men had been
/" murdered in Louisiana because they were
Republicans" ~ ~ $50 !"
MIR. SPENCER, Of Louisiana, in his reply
to the references made by GARFIELD and
FRYE to Louisiana, said: :.
"sir, a man living away up in the State
of Maine cannot possibly have that intimate
knowledge OF affairs in the State OF Loul-
siana that have, because was born upon
that soil; / was educated there; nave
lived there all my life; I have mixed ana
mingled with that people upon such terms
that I know, il any man In the Wofld
knows, their hearts; and when Generai
Sheridan, or anybody else, tells me that
there have been three thousand polltlcal
murders in the State OF Louisiana, | simply
brand the statement rs false. 1t Is lmpossl-
bic; it is absurd. ~'. e
Referring to what Mr.. FRYE said about
/ murders in Grant parish, Mr.. SPENCER said
in substance that the gentleman from Maine
was ignorant OF the matter-"he did not Tead
The papers," FLOWER and WARD, who led
in the fight, had sworn that they were put
up to it by S. 3. PACKARD and WILLIAM
PITT KELLOGG, the leaders OF the Republi-
can party in Louisiana, although he (Mr.
SpENcER) was disposed to acquiesce in the
correctness Of Mr.. GREELEY's declaration,
who, after an extended tour to the South,
had said to the people Of New York:
"My friends, you are mistaken there is
no Republican party in the South; there
are but two parties there-Democrats and
thieves" 4-I1..-c...-,, q. q.
Which declaration very naturally brought
forth very hearty laugh. .~.--I ~

\ BUDGET OF BULLDozING7--WHo ORGAN
TIED AND LED THE GANGs.-[Special dispatch
to the Baltimore Gazette. l-,Nelo. Orleans,
December 2S.-Mr. News subcommittee,
taking testimony in West Feliciana, has de-
veloped some facts which she'd a stream Of
light on the methods of intimidation and
outrage-manufactur practiced IN TINS state.
Testimony before the subcommittee eslaD-
iished the fact that Weber, Republican SUI
.peryisoi. and afiaavit-maker, and Frank
Powers, Republican taN-collecter, were the
organizers and leaders. OF the bulldozers,
and that the movement was set on foot for
ths purpose or making political capital.
The subcommittee also learned that AIr.
Sherman's martyr, Watson, Republican
school-teaeher, was killed and his, house
burned by negroes, who swore vengeance
against him because he had seduced twenty
five colored girls, all his pupils Watson's
crimes were matter Of notoriety in bis
neighborhood, and it was also well known
that his murder had no political significance
whatever. When Mr.. Sherman struck the
lead, however, he saw its richness as q
specimen outrage, and he worked it to its
full value. This Is q fair sample Of the
bulldozing outrages which the Radicals
have sought to fasten upon Democrats in
this State. There are genuine cases OF in
timidation instigated and perpetrated by
such gangs as Weber, and Powers led.

Yesterday says the Franklin Gazette ex-,
presses a preference for General Malone as

perfect right to express his prefer ence, but

il there is another man in the county in

Malone is a candidate or ever desires the
nomination; presume that lie does not de-
sire ii. II there should be no other objec-

Not SO. The. Constitution forbids the
New York electors, for instance, from
voting for both Tiiden and Wheeler. So the
electors Of any State are forbidden to vote
for cand idates for beth President and Vice
President from their own State, But that
is q rule OF conduct for the electors onIy.
When there Is failure on the part OF the
electors to choose 8 President and vice.
President, new rules come in--nameiy, that
each House shall choose one Of those ON.
GERS; and that tho Senate shall choose one
Of the two receiving tho largest electors

A Question.

RErDsyILLE, N. c., December u, 1876.
Editors Dispatch Assuming that the pre-,
sidential election 60 to the House, and that
MIR. Tilden be elected by that body, can any
other constitutionally be Vice-President but
Hendricks or Cary? While the Constitu-
ton forbids the selection Of President and
Vice-Pfesident from the same State, it also
restricts the choice of the House or Senate
to cone OF the three highest candidates.
1t would seem that Tilden being from New
York renders Wheeler ineligible, and that
Hendricks or Cary must be elected as being
three. Perhaps the Senate would Claim,
that Tilden canpot be President because
Wheeler Is from the same State. =
