Strange Events in Columbia

Again the scene shifts, ana still the
HAMPTON Legislature is held to disadyan-
tage by the military power. This time the
scene shows q degree Of trickery, q sort Of
dodge not before resorted to by the Presi.
dent nor his agents in South Carolina. TAFT,
who is present, no doubt advised the
strategy. A hundred special constables en-
tered the State House with instructions TO
remove the HAMPTON House OF Representa-
nses. What right had they to remove

Congress-.

The two houses Of Congress opened their
sessions yesterday. In the Senate, Senator
EDMUNDs, OF Vermont, opened the presi-
dental war by firing the first gun. The
Republican strategy developed by him
and being Il leader he would hardly make n
movement unadyisedly-is TO enter upon
an investigation in the South upon the allie
CATION that :: intimidation " has been widely
prevalent, and that elections have been car
ried by it in South Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Mr..
EDMuNps proposed a resolution to investi-
gate those States through committees OF the
Senate. The Republicans in caucus are
understood to he inclined to await further
developments before sending of the COM
mittecs for the southern States.
In the House Mr.. RANDALL was elected
Speaker, and made q very appropriate
speech. The credentials OF BUTTz, from,
: South Carolina, were presented, objected
to, and referred. This is contest that will
probably be interesting, as it comes from
South Carolina, upon whom all eyes are
turned. Committees were ordered for South
Carolina, Florida, and Louisiana. They are
to leave at once.
The credentials OF BELFoRD, from Col
orado, were presented. SPRINGER, the ter
ritorial member from Colorado, objected.
This will open the question as to whether
Colorado is a State-another hitch bearing
upon the presidency. There will be enough
of them before the matter is settled.

EInitinr Rl1n1Ars

Washington was excited yesterday by
rRmors about what Governor HAYES is re-
ported as having said to a Mr.. ROBERTS,
correspondent OF the New Orleans Times,
The purport OF this is that Governor HAYES
thinks he is elected, and foreshadows his
policy towards the South. He will put
himself in friendly relations with the best
southern whites-such men as HAMPTON and
LAMAR. He condemns GRANTS policy, and
promises complete overthrow of the car
pet-bag administration. The intimations as
TO the tenor OF this interview with ROBERTS
appear in the Cincinnati Enquirer. We be-
lieye not one word OF it. A communication
conveying such important opinions and
promises from Governor HAYES would
never have been made to newspaper cor
respondent. The New York Herald OF
Yesterday makes all the show about it OF
which types are capable.
So, again, great deal OF sensation is
wrought by reported remarks OF General
GRANT to Mr.. HEWITT. These remarks rep
resent the President as an altered man-as
going back upon himself; as deploring the
condition Of things, and confessing distruts
of the southern Returning Boards. He is
said to go SO far, while expressing his hope
that the honestly-elected man shall be inat:-
gurated as to declare that the vote Of LOU
isiana should be rejected.
Certainly, from all accounts Mr.. HEWITT
was much pleased with his interview with
Eansrol Cp.rr Rut yyp have no idea that
General GRANT has gone so far back upon
himself as to undo all he has done.
There is certainly commotion as well as
sensation in Washington. But it Is not
probable that events are coming round SO as
to entirely revolutionize the Executive pol
icy continued SO persistently UP to this time,
il we except some backing and filing and
some show OF lodging between Saturday
and yesterday. We await developments.

Richmond ,,,, as a cotton Market

= 20.
q A; friend has called cur attention. to the
fact that there are considerable shipments
OF cotton by way of the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad. The departure OF ships Ia
den with cotton from the Jamea-riyer
wnaryes OF the Chesapeake and Ohio rail-
road has been noticed, but the fact OF large
aggregates OF cotton by way OF the road has
not been stated with the emphasis to which
the importance OF the subject entities IL.
The fact that there hive been considerable
rcce,nts OF cotton uiu the Danyilie railroad
has been noticed, but the receipts by the
Chesapeake and Ohio road have been larger.
Our informant observes that he saw re-
Gently as he ;ourneyed down the river the
wharves OF the Chesapeake and Ono rail-
road covered with cotton. On his return
up the river, eight days afterwards, he was
surprised to see still greater number OF
bales on those same wharyes ready for ship
ment.. Upon inquiry he learned that the
stock on the wharf when he returned was
not that which he saw as he went down the
river. but was composed OF fresh receipts.
He learned that the shipments were very
rapid. Four hundred bales were received
on one day last week, and it is estimated
that 10000 bales of this years crop have
been shipped from the Chesapeake and Ohio
wharycs since the 1st Of September.
This cotton comes up the Mississippi and
the Ohio by steamers and :barges to Hunt
inston, where it takes the rail to this city.
We invite the attention Of our merchants to
this interesting subject. The plantcr'buys
his supplies where he sells his crops; and il
there should be established here cotton
market both dry goods men and grocers
will find the field OF their trade greatly en-
larged. ..
Our correspondent reminds lis OF re-
mark made by this paper when the Chesa'
peake and Ohio railroad was finished, which
it is not out OF order to reproduce Just
now. The Dispatch said to the people OF
Richmond: "You have the railroad to the
"Ohio-you can make what you choose OF
:" it, And we now ask our people what
article in tho wide range Of domestic trade

has opened to you the trade in everything
that the land produces, and it is in your
power to enter into every kind OF traffic
that is embraced by western trade. This
transportation from the West has thus
included everything, Notwithstanding that
our railroad connections with the western
system of roads is not complete. \ gap Of
forty to eighty miles dcrides our enterprise
We have only the Ohio riyer-whose capri
cious volume Of water often leaves transpol'
tation obstructed-to connect us with tho
real West. When, however, the railwa!
connections are complete, there will be al
amount OF trade from the West Of Which
the transportation OF the present day car
give us but poor idea. Still let our people

Louisiana.

Louisiana has not gotten through yet.
But we take i; that the determination to
count the State for HAYES was clear to the
Democratic committee, who plainly gave
up the State in their letter to the people.
The Board must settle their count to-day.
Tomorrow the electors are required to
meet. The time is not sufficient to bring
them from the interior; but they have nc
doubt been already warned OF their cleo
ton and will be on hand.

THREATS MADE THAT THE HOUSE WILL
THROW OUT THE ELECTORAL VoTE OF Colo
RADo.-[Special dispatch to the New York
Times. washington, December 2 .-Some
threats continue to be made concerning the
electoral vote OF Colorado. Certain Of the
Democrats claim that the conditions Of the
enabling act were not complied with fully
by the State Constitution, and that therefore
Colorado is not State in the Union. The
way they propose to raise the issue is by
referring the credentials OF Belford, mem
ber-elect, to the Committee on Elections, or
on the judiciary, for investigation. They
say that they will develop the fact that is
charged, and will throw out the electoral
vote, and retain the delegation his seat to
the end OF the Congress. The raising Of
this issue has been considerably talked OF,
but very few have regarded it as Of any con-
sequence. IL is now deemed certain, how
ever, that Belford will not be admitted on
his credentials, and thatthe possibility OF put
ting State ont OF the Union after it has
been declared o Statesin pursuance Of law
by the Presidents proclamation will ibe7se-
,riously considered. ~ 80

is no news. Some of the first-named I'M

proposing an impeachment Of the Presl.

War have committed high crimes and mis-
demeanors OF the character contemplated by
the constitutional provision for impeacil-
ment might be very readily shown, but III
