rHE ORGANIZATION OF THE LEGIsLATURE-
now MATTEEs STOOD, UP TO LAST EVEN
ING.
The dispatches to the COMMERCIAL, yes
terday afternoon, stated the progress of
affairs at Columbia, s. O., up to the point
of organizing the Legisla,ure. The guard
of soldiers admitted to the State House al!
persons claiming toilave been elected mem
,Isrs of the Legislature, including the claim
ants from Edgefeld and Laurens counties,
to whom the Board of Canvass refused any
certificates. These claimants intended to
force themselves in and help the Democrats
organize the House. They were, however,
refused admission to the chamber by the
doorkeepers, and the whole body of Demo-
cratic members then withdrew to a hall,
went into secret session, and organized
"House Of Representatives of their own.
The members remaining were SO in mum.
Der, and as the whole number duly elected
was 115, this formed majority and quo
rum. They elected Speaker and Clerk, and
will to-day proceed to count and declare the
result of the vote for Governor.
The Democrats did not withdraw from
the Senate. The House adopted rule
identical with the twenty-second joint rule
of Congress. II this rule passes the SEN
ate to-day, as is probable, the count of
votes for Governor will be taken up by
counties, and il there is objection to any
county, the Houses will separate. This
would appear to give the Republicans all
the advantages OF the situation.
Strenuous efforts were made by the DEM
ocrats, yesterday, to persuade Republican
members of the House to join them, and
they claim that two did So. This may COM
plicate affairs, further.

FLORIDA FOR HAYES, WITHOUT THROWING OUT
ANYTHING-THE WADE HAMPTON KU KLUx
FoILED-LoUIsIANA HORRORS.
The following is the summary Of the New
York Times Our advices this morning
make more certain than ever the Republic
can victory in the nation. From Florida
comes the intelligence that Gov. Hayes has
a majority on the face of the returns. The
latest dispatches place it at 43. When the
Board of Canvassers made this announce
ment to the crowd which witnessed their
proceedings the Democrats were extremely
downcast. When the board exercises its
judicial functions, and inquiries into the way
the Democratic majonties were obtained in
some counties, these Democrats will have
more reason than ever to feel downeast.
A strange and startling scene marked
the proceedings of the Loulsiana Return
ing Board yesterday, when four Witnesses
were brought in to prove the allegations of
the Republicans as to violence and intimi
dation. Two were brought in on cots, they
not having recovered from their wounds.
When the wretched woman Pinkston re-
lated her story, exGov. Palmer, Of Illinois,
sprang to his feet, and expressed his hor-
ror aud Indignation in language of perfect

men, without respect to party, did the same.
Nothing but the presence of a small force
Of United States troops seems to have pre-
vented serious disturbances at the organi-
zation of the South Carolina Legislature
yesterday. The Democrats marched to the
State-house in a body claimants from
Edgefeld and Laurens counties were re-
fused admission, and thereupon the whole
body of Representatives withdrew to
neighboring hall and set up House of
their own. The Democratic Senators re-
mained, because their withdrawal would
not leave the Senate without quorum, as
it is claimed that the withdrawal of the
Democratic: members did in the House.
The Republican members organized, elect
ed a speaker, and proceeded to business
A majority of all the memhersl egally
elected were present. Gov. Chamberlain
holds that the Legislature is 10 slody
as constituted, and all the precedents show
that it is. The vote for Cove nor will be
counted to-day.

IE Worked.

A gentleman who has just returned west
ward from Washington, and whom the Col
umbus (ohio) State Journal vouches for,
gives this little incident: ~
- On the NWess-boand train from Baltimore
Friday evening was rampant Democratic
fire eater, who lived near Tallahassee, Flor
ida. A friend Of his, who left the train at
Harper's Ferry, Virginia, occupied the seat
with him. They discussed the political
situation loudly and suggestively. Among
other things of similar import,
the Floridian said, with much pro-
family eyes, - m, we fixed 'em down
our way. We corralled every nigger we
could catch in sheds and outbuildings the
day before election, and kept guard over
them all night. In the morning we put a
Democratic ticket in every nigger's hand
and told him to vote it. No, we didn't in
timldate them. No, sir But we gave
them plainly to understand that every tick
ct was marked, and if they we're not all vo-
ted every nigger would soon learn the con-
sequence" "Did it work p asked the Har-
peT's Ferry man. "Work ~ Indignantly
calculated the Floridian, ''of course it did" "

Full EXPERIMENTS.

SERIES OF WONDERFUL AND VERY SUCCESS
Full ExPERIMRNTs.
Though the audience to witness Mr..
Browns experiments, at the Opera House,
last evening, was small, his exhibition was
in all other respects satisfactory and showed
conclusively his ability to tread the minds'
of others, under certain favorable condi-
tions.
A committee of the audience was se-
lected, at Mr.. Browns request, to see that
the experiments were fair, consisting of W..
T. Croasdale. ]. B. Herdman, DIR. Roy, w.
b. Sharp, s. N. Pusey, and Allen Gawthrop.
The first experiment was as follows The
committee chose as subject Allen Speak
man, who went upon the stage. Mr.. Brown
then retired behind the scenes, with the
committee, and Mr.. Speakman, COM
ing down from the stage, hid a
shoe buttoner in the pocket of Mr..
J. B. Clarkson, one of the audience.
Mr.. Brown then returned, blindfolded,
took Mr.. Speakman's left hand in his own
left hand, raised it with the back to his
(B 81 forehead, and after moments pause,
led Mr.. Speakman down amongst the au-
dience, where he passed up and down a
short time, but finally went to Mr.. Clark
son, and said the article sought was in that
gentleman's pocket.
MIR. Brown then proposed that some one
be selected to th4gk intensely of some other
one in the audience. Mr. Thos. B. Eaton
was selected, and Mr.. Brown, taking his
hand in the same manner, led him
into the audience, bnt present
ly stopped, saying to Mr.. Eaton
that he had not his mind fixed on the per
son, and Mr.. e admitted this was so. An
other person, DIR. s. W. Murphy, was then
selected, and the experiment proved sue
cessful, Mr. Brown designating Mr.. Chas.
g. E. Whiteley as the one he was thinking
Of, which DR.. Murphy stated to be correct.
Other equally remarkable demonstrations
were made, the last was being perhaps
most conclusive. Mr.. VIM. B. Sharp went
with Mr.. Brown, the latter blindfolded,
through the audience, Mr.. Sharp think
ing of the features and general
appearance of some one in the audience,
(John Jones, Esq They then returned
to the stage, and MIR. Brown, removing the
bandage, went down and pointed out Mr..
Jones as the person whose lineaments Mr..
Sharp had in his mind.

l saw Gov Chamberlain tonight, and
said, "What do you think of the situs-
tion ?"
"I think" said be "the result of the
events here to-day is very favorable to the
cause of Repubicanism and public justice.
In the fret place, the United States troops
have performed their proper functions in
preserving the peace and maintaining an
attitude Of perfect neutrality between the
two parties. The effect of their presence
has, OF course, been favorable to the Re-
publlcsns, because the chief reliance of the
Democrats has been, and is now, in over
awing the Republicans, or by some violent
means preventing them from securing their
rights. l know Of no act done by the mil
itary forces to-day which has abridged or
denied any right OF a Democrat"
"What is your opinion Of the organization
of the House p"
Gov. Ohamberlain-'I think the House,
as at present organized, is as valid legis-
lative body as there is in America. Why is
it not Every man who held credential
emitting him to seat would have been ad-
mitted witho& Question, and out Of the lis
members eleSed, sixty were present, an
BWer6Q TO Lno call OF Gne clerk, and ntty-
nine of these voted for Speaker. The Ian
guage of the Constitution of South Caroli-
ma upon the subject of legislative quo-
rum is absolutely identical with that of the
Constitution Of the United States. A ma
jority of each House shall constitute quo
rum to do business. The great Congress
sional precedent Of 1861, as stated in Bar
cldy's Digest. is to the effect that a
quorum consists of majority of all
the members chosen. Il is plain,
therefore, that the House of Repre-
sentative has been organized in perfectly
lawful and Constitutional manner. AS to
tho Senate there is no question. The Dem
ocrats have remained and taken part in its
organization, and that body has exchanged
messages with the House of Representa-
tives. Thus, you see, we have House and
Senate in working order. No arbitrary or
unlawful step has been taken"
" Do you expect to be sustained in Wash
ington ?"
Gov. Ohamberlain-As to that, can only
say that l do expect to be sustained at
Washington if l stand on the law and the
facts of the case, and upon no other condi-
tion. II am the lawful Governor of the
State. President Grant will sustain me- and
shall never ask him to do more than that

event are of very sad character. Dur

ambitious that his son should make
mark in 1.-The world. From
Newton he went toy Newark to prac-
tise, but could find nothing to do, the Bar

Very few towns on the Peninsula have
