The South Carolina SftuafiOn-A Legal
Quorum for the Democrats,

COLUMBIA, S. c., December 6.-The
democratic House in session in Car
DINA Hall have just sworn in another
member who deserted the Mackey
House, making 63, being the con-
stltutional quorum, holding certificates
from the board of State canvassers.
The Supreme Court has decided the
democratic House to be the legal
House of Representatives, and will
issue a mandamus compelling the
the Secretary of State to- turn over
the returns for Governor and Lieut.
Governor to Speaker Wallace The
democrats are jub:lant over these
events.
COLUMBIA, s. c., Dec. 6.-The
democratic electors met at IL NJ, and
after long session cast the vote of
the State for Iilden and Hendricks.
They also entered a protest to
prevent the Secretary of State, Hayne,
from delivering the election to Speaker
Mackey.
The Mackey House passed to its
third reading a bill allowing the
Governor to be swsrn in by any
officer qualified to administer the
oath. The law now requires the
chief justice to perform that duty.

cnopy. Mr.. Murdoch, Mr. Studley
and Yrs Farren saw them at tn e
same time. Then we heard a hor-
rible roaring noise behind the scenery.
This alarmed me more than the sight
of the fire Still none of us moved
until the audience caught sight of he
flames. When the cry of fire rang
through he body of the theatre, and
the audience rose ell masse, we acted
altogether without tho slight est
knowledge of one another,s intentio MS.
We fnr clasped hands and stood
al,irost' .at the footIights, and cried
out, w Q. are between yon and the
FIRE sit still for Gods sake, sit still ;
The people in the front rows heard
our appeal ! saw Them seat them :
selves. again, and noticed one lady
pull the gentleman beside her down
into his chair. The boiv of the
house was not very well filed, but
the gallery was crowded I am con
! WINGED that our action prevented
pane, and enabled the people near
the doors to get out without being
pressed upon by those from the
front seats.
In this way. too, more persons got
out without hurt than would have
escaped if all the gallery people had
crowded against the others at the
doors. As soon as we saw the peo-
pie getting ont we turned to escape
ourselves Then we found we. were
hemmed in by fire. The flames ragged
above and around except on the side
of the auditorium We could see the
red rafters above threatening to fall.

the stage. There met Miss Maude
Harrison. She had gone to her room
to get some valuables. | cried out to
her: Let those things 60 and come
on, for Gods sake We must 90 out
the front way. The fire is gaining on
! US now. Look!' AS l uttered this
| last exclamation I pointed to the cell
ing-the floor of the stage. The
flames were showing through, and we
could mark out their courses along
the cracks of the flooring. Miss
! Harrison, Mrs Farren, and myself
then dashed along the crooked pas
sage ways under the stage, and after
some trouble gained the auditorium
through door We had yet some
distance to 60, the fire followed us
fast, and there was still a crowd of
excited people to pass through We
got into the crowd and dashed along.
needless that now and again we felt
that we trod upon human being.
Once looked down and saw a human
face, horribly distorted and burned
Oh, my God it was fearful sight
shall never forget it. Afterwards l
saw the injured man taken out. He
was horribly injured, and, ! think,
must be dead AS soon as we got into
the street we dashed into the police
station. There a gentleman loaned
me his overcoat, and after short stay
in the station We walked around

z
Chamberlain reelected was announe. d,
conconrse of about 1000 people, of
both races, collected before The demo
cratic headquarters and cheered
voeiferously for Gen. Hampton. The
general appeared and made a speech
OF some length and great earnestness
He asked his hearers to repress their
indignation and to persevere in the
peaceful course they had heretofore
pursued. The object of the repub-
licans, he said, was to provoke a
collision in order that Gov Chambers
lain might seize the pretext to declare
martial law and suspend by revolu-
tionary measures the action of the
courts, which he dared not face.
"You have trusted me thus far"
said General Hampton, "and l only
ask you to trust me few days longer,
when | feel certain that our victory
will be assured. ! am supported by
the property owners of the State and
by the good men of all classes. The
republican party is bankrupt. The
same Legislature which has fraud
ulently attempted to count in as
Governor man who to-day should
be in the penitentiary as compelled
to adjourn because it had not credit
enough to procure even gas. Such a
government wolld s,arve TO death.
The people will refuse to pay it any
taxes. Two months ago said I
would submit my claims before the
people of South Garoiina, and. Sit
elected Governor, thas by the Eternal
God | would have myplace. [Cheers. ]
Since when, in spite of frauds and
falsehoods, all the powers of the
State government and the bavonets of
President Grant, l have been, by
$4,000 white men and 1900 colored
men, chosen to be the Governor Of
the State of South Carolna-esrea,
applause and Governor l will be.
Immense applause. The bsllot-box
has announced the verdict of the
people, and ] will be their Governor
or they shall have military govern
ment. Terrific applause
81 will be the Governor of the
whole people, giving security and
protection to all alike. Cheers and
yells for Massey Wade We have
had trying campaign of four months
and during all that time have mad ,
no mistake let us continue to &C,
wisely; let not the just indignation
swelling iii yonr bosoms tempt you to
forget yourselves in revenging your
wrongs Not mail reaches me that
does not bring letters and papers
from all parts OF The country applaud
ing your conduct, and your forbear-
ance and patience are the theme Of
admiration through the civilized
world. Perseyere, and as sure as the
sun shines Tomorrow ght shall
triumph over wrong, and you will be
free. In conclusion cries of "go on I
let me ask you to disperse peaceably
and quietly"
The widest enthusiasm prevailed
among the crowd, and Hampton was
repeatedly asked TO Give us the
word ana we will clear the whole
radical crowd of thieves oHt." At
the conclusion of the speech the
concourse Immediately dispersed.

Bodies Recovered

New YORK, Dec Cup to 8 80
P. NJ. 2S5 bodies were taken from
the ruins of the Brooklyn Theatre.
The work will be continued ali night,
The streets are still crowded and the
excitement is giving way to feeling
of intense gloom and depression. 1t Is
now feared that the number of dead
will reach 800.
What might have added to the i'm
mense loss of life and resulted in the
killing of more ladies and gentlemen
of the theatre company was the panic
stricken movement of the janitor at
the stage door As soon as he got
an idea of what was going on inside
he hurriedly locked the stage door
and kept back the astonished crowd
by refusing admittance or egress. A
party, headed by Mr.. Paul Nicholson,
however, broke open the door and
pushed him aside. In the excitement
Of the moment nobody took any
count of the number who made their
escap by this means, and who would
otherwise have persisted.
This evening a gentleman living in
RemseD street came to the police
station and inquired tor two friends, a
Mr.. George A. Grange and a Mr..
D. S. Morton, both of Galveston,
Texas. They were stopping at the
St. Nicholas Hotel in New York, with
their families. The gentlemen came
over to Brooklyn to dine with thier
friend in Remsen street, and after
dinner they went to the theatre,
bought their tickets and they went in
but he returned home. They have
not been heard OF Since then, and
have not returned to their hotel.
Their families are wild with grief,

AT the hour of going to press, the
complexion of political affairs rema. ms
unchanged. Some prominent men
ARE Of opinion that conservative
counsel will prevail, and that the
Radicals will permit the will of the
people to prevail. We regret that
we cannot take the same view Of
affairs. In our opinion, Tilden is
fairly elected but the radicals will
resort to any means, even revolution,
to retain power.

We have received letter from the
Baltimore Agent of the Howe Sew

deny that any official political letter
was written by the Supt Of their

referred they admit was written by
an agent in New York upon his own
responsibility. They also assert that
they make no distinction in employees
on account of politics.
