the p2hlic sentiment in the Western
States N regard to tho election was SO
STRONG, that he was compelled to come
East to ascertain the condition of public
feeling here. He expressed his admira-
ton at the conduct of the Southern DEM

tl1n OF turbulence, had appealed every
in the West, and on his journey hitb err

THE REPUBLICAN LAW.BREAKERs

The Republicans on last Tuesday or
ganized and elected officers oi the House
of Representatives Of South Carolina
| with only fiity-ninc members present.
The whole number Of Representatives. is
one hundred and twenty -four, Of which
the Democrats elected sixty-four aud the
Republicans sixty in the late election.
The Constitution of South Carolina, Art.
III, Sec. IA, provides "that Il majority OF
each House shall constitute II quorum to
do business; but IL smaller number may
adjourn from day to day, and may COM
pei the attendance Of absent members, in
such manner nnd under such penalties as
may Dc provided by law" 1t would
therefore require sixtythree members to
constitute quorum to do business. The
State Canvassers issued certificates of
election to sixty Republicans aud fifty
six Democrats, ignoring the election in
Laurens and Edgefield. The Democrats
refused to attend tho meeting of the
House oil account of the exclusion of
these counties, and that left the Repub-
licans without majority of the House,
and rs the State Canvasscrs have ad-
journed no certificates could be issued to
Republicans from the missing counties.
There has never been any law passed to
enable o minority Of either House to
compel the attendance of other members,
and therefore until each House is organ
ized and passes its own rules no member
can be compelled to attend. Hence, the
Republicans cannot legally organize the
House of Representatives. and therefore
aome subtifuge had 20 be resorted to in
order to evado this difficulty. They
claim that as there was no election III
Edgefeld and Laurens. the House only
consists Of one hundred and sixteen men,
bers, OF which number ffly-ninc is q ma.
jority, and consequently q quorum for
business. This migh: he accepted if the
Constitution was silent lib to what con-
stitutes the House of Representatives.
But such is not the caso, for Art. II Sec.
( declares "the House of Representatives
shall consist Of one iiufdred and twenty
four members, to be apportioned among
the several counties according to the
number ofinhabitants contained in each."
Thus the Constitution prescribes the
number Of the House of Representatives
at one hundred and twenty-four members,
and then says o majority of this number
shall constitute quorum. Thus making
sixty-three necessary for d quorum.
The body claiming to be the House OF
Representatives. with L. w. NJ. Mackey
a. Speaker, il O revolutionary and illegal
body, held in defiance to the Constitution
of the State, and having for its object
the installation of man as Governor
who has been beaten by more than one
thousand votes at the polls. Every man
who assists in this usurpation should be
indicted for treason, and made to pay the
forfeit of his crime if convicted before
the Courts of South Carolina.

Under arrangement, with Gen. Ruger
In command Of the United States troops,
the Democratic members went in process
sion to the State House, and were per
mitted to pass the outer line of sentinels
at the front entrance. The Senators
were admitted to the Senate Chamber,
but the tnembers were refused admission
to the Honse. They withdrew after vain
efforts to pass the sentinel at the door of
the Hall. While the members were
waiting, Gen. Hampton briefly addressed
the multitude from tho Capitol steps,
advising oil to retire and keep the peace.
The whites LEFT Immediately, but the
most of the blacks remained, although
the officer of the day demonstrated with
them. Gen. Gary is the speaker for the
Democratic party of the Senate, but the
result as to seating the Democrats from
Edgefeld and Lanrens is unknown at

completed its organization by electing

When Congress meets on next Monday,
