Then they will go into secret session and
speedily make up their verdict. The re.

day, as the Board has given notice that
no affidavit, protest or other document
need be handed them after Friday 4
o'clock. .
The case Ia now considered "a virtually J
closed, and tho distinguished attendants
will start home tomorrow and next day.
Senator Sherman thinks he may possibly
remain until Saturday, hut not longer.
From the best information | can gel, the
Board will connt in the entire State and
National Republican ticket BY from $50
to 800 majority. They will reach this
result by throwing out precincts in bull
dozed parishes, and at other points where
gross intimidation has beeeu proved by
direct testimony. ...
The more Ouachita Parish is investiga.
ted the more horrors come to Light.
There were four we'll organized rifle
clubs In that parish, as the testimony
proves and not less than dozen Repub.
licans killed, most OF them assassinated,
and many OF them wounded, The charge
OF the Republicans that there was a reign
Of terror 10 that parish is completely aus.
tanned by sworn testimony and by army
officers there.
The other bull.dozed parishes are not
so bad; that ia, there has been less muir
der, but the evidence proves that the
reign Of terror was sufficient for the pur.
poses for which il was brought about.
Over two thousand pages Of sworn
testimony has been taken as 10 the five
parishes and the facts Of murder, whip.
pings and intimidation are fully set out,
with details and specifications. Unless
the Democrats overthrow this by counter
testimony they can not sustain their case
at the bar OF public opinion.
Two witnesses were examined In the
Pinkston case to-day. The Republicans
deny that the testimony Of the woman
was materially shaken. Governor Plamer
and the Democrats say that they are con-
vinced that the Pinkston murder was
personal and not political. Governor
Palmer tonight remarked that II was
simply horrible murder for personal
reasons, and that II had no more to do
with the case Of the Presidency than any
other murder.
The excitement about disclosures in
this horrible case has materially subsid.
ed, and the Democrats have recovered
from their panic. H. V. RspTELn.

came up this week in the Chamber Of
Deputies. In the course OF the debate
Gen. Salamanca made an indirect attack
on the two commanders in Cuba, which
called forth severe retorts from the
Prime Minister and Minister Of War.
The former said the Ministry asked the

Gen. Requelme sprang up and insisted,
that after deducting the sick Gen. Campos
would only have 10000 effective men.

close.
Much anxiety prevails among those
connected with maritime affairs over the

The south CAROLINA LegisIaturc.

WAsu1So7os, November Ex-senator
Morton says there can be no reasonable
doub! as to thelegality Of the Legislature
sss organized. The only question that
can arise is as to what constitutes n
quorum Of that body. The Constitution
Of South Carolina provides that major
ity shall constitute u quorum for the
transaction OF busineSs-the same con-
stitutional provision as exists in regard
10 Congress. The Democrats OF South
Carolina in withdrawing from the Leg.
islature contend that they left that body
without legal quorum, reckoning upon
the whole number Of members that
may be chosen. This point has
been settled by Congress upon two oeca.
Sions. In 1852, after the Southern Dem.
ocrats Withdrew frou Congress to engage
in the rebellion, the question was raised
as 10 whether quorum consisted ot q
majority Of the entire number OF members
provided for, or whether a quorum con-
sisted OF q majority OF the actual men,
berShip. This question was raised In
both houses, and after discussion which
ran over to the next session, il was for
mally decided in 1868 that quorum Of
the two houses Of Congress consist Of a
majority Of the actual membership.' The
same question was presented in Congress
In ] S69, in the presentation Of the voteof
Indiana upon ratifying the fifteenth
amendment. The Democratic members Of
the Legislature Of that State resigned, In
order TO leave the Legislature without \
quorum, the Constitution Of Indiana pro-
viding that two.thirds OF the membership
shall constitute quorum. The Legisla.
ture, in consequence OF this withdrawal
Of the Democrats, adjourned without
passing the regular appropriation bills,
and Governor Baker ordered new elcc.
tions to fill the vacancies and again con.
vened the Legislature. The appropriation |
bills were passed, when the Democrats,
in order to defeat q vote upoua the ratif.
cation Of the fifteenth amendment, again |
withdrew. The Legislature therenpon
decided that two-thirds Of the actual
membership constituted a quorum, and
proceeded TO ratify the amendment. This
action was certified to Congress in for.
warding the vote OF the Legislature on
the ratification Of the amendment. No
question was raised in gerard to it by
Congress, and the vote Of Indiana was
thus passed upon and counted.

Charges and Counter Charges

TALIAHAssiE, November 30.-Thl
Board Of Canvassers met at 10 O'Clock 10
day. Alachua county was called anC
passed, and Baker county taken up. Th'
Democratic managers called attention tc
the fact that the second return irou
Baker, besides the points Of illegally
brought against it yesterday was Iignec
by q Justice Of the Peace who was ap-
pointed since the election; that it wa
not certified 10 in the County Clerk
office, and that the County CIeIi
was not summoned 10 attend thi
canvass-upon which It was based
and that the official precinct returns wert
omitted from that return and false re-
suit reached.
The Alachua county testimony was lis
tened to with interest. The Democrat,
FIRST offered testimony that the alleged
affidavit from Green r. Moore, purpOrt.
ing 10 deny certain facts IN another all
davit he had made, was dated and execu
ted on the 10th, while the affidavit he
proposed to retract and correct wa
dated and executed on the 22d inst
They then pronounced the affidavit
purporting to be from Mr.. Floyd
Dukes square forgery. They then iu.
troduced Moore and Duks as witnesses
Moore swore specifically that all the
points in his affidavit OF the 23i were
true; that be had stated the facts therein
contained openly, time and time again;
he was Inspector at Archer; that only 3lU
votes were cast; that he signed the cleo.
tion certificate in blank, not thinking
that there could be any dispute; that lie
was approached the other day by Barnes,
the Republican Sheriff OF the county,
who offered one hundred dollars il be
would sign paper; he asked II be had to
swear 10 it; he was told that he would
not; he then signed it and received the
money. This paper was the one produc'
cd by the court as counter affidavit.
Floyd Dukes (colored) swore that he
was inspector at the Archer precinct;
that only 3l6 votes were cast; that he
cannot read or write, and that ho never
signed the paper saying 535 votes were
cast upon the counter affidavit alleged 10
have been signed by him. Being read he
swore he didn't sign it; that ex-Congress.
man Wales and Justice Bolton came to
his house to get him to sign It and offer.
ed to pay him S25 il he would sign it,
but he refused.
The Democrats then called attention 10
the fact that attidavits from several hun.
dred negroes, swearing that they voted at
Archer precinct; the names appear in
two places, two names in three places,
two names Of men long since dead, and
two names oil men proven TO have voted
elsewhere.
The Republicans submitted an objec-
,lon 10 two precincts in Columbia coun-
ty, alleging that the Democratic Inspector
industriously changed the ballots when
they were handed him, and that the ne
groes were taken by three Democrats
into swampa week before the election,
and after various outrages were made to
swear on their knees that they would
vote the Democratic ticket.
Pending the preparation OF the paperS

with the Republican party, and in this
way the Republican party was made
sort Of Pariah throughout the
Southern land. 1t required men
Of great force OF character 10 stand up
agains. such q tide Of prescription as
this and combat II and, as frequently hap.
pens in this world, men Of great force Of
character are not apt to have a very
strong development Of approbativeness.
They give and take rough blows and act
on the motto that they have right to
6ght the devil with FIRE. II is claimed
that no other sort Of men could stand at
all amidst the scenes OF intimidation and
violence thai have SO largely prevailed
throughout the South during the late
campaign, and that II these men were
once compelled to let go their hold the
Republican party would cease to exist
in such States as Mississippi, Louisiana
and South Carolina.
There is no doubt a great deal Of truth
in this remark. When we witness tho
fight that these men carry on against
such great odds, we cannot but think Of
what was said Of us. Senator Broderick
Of California, at the time he was killed in
a duel by Judge Terry, viz: "the world

And so we might say Of some OF these
Southern Republican leaders. They are
the outgrowth Of transition state from
a stormy and revolutionary condition OF
society to something more pacific, civil.
