Events yesterday in the disputed
States were exciting, but we cannot say
that they brought much nearer to a So
luton what has been called the great
Centennial and Presidential conundrum,
rather that they added TO the complica-
tons OF the situation and made more OF
a marvel what Is 10 come out OF ii. The
South Carolina Legislature met at Co
lumbia, and the programme of garrison
ing the hall with troops and refusing
admission TO the chambers of the House
and Senate, except 10 members-elect
who were in possession of certificates
from the Returning Board was carried
out. The Democratic contestants hay-
ing been turned away, the Republicans
organized and elected Speaker and
made other preparations tor business.
There is a question as TO whether or not
they constitute legal quorum, bni this
again turns upon the rejection Of the
delegates from Laurens and. EdgehrId
counties, and if they are countedomt the
legality of the Republican Legislature
is assured. Wade Hampton has issued
another address, advising all Democrats
in South Carolina 10 keep the peace,
and in pursuance Ct his council the
Democratic members of the House Of
Delegates met last night, found legitl-
mate quorum for themselves, and made
ready to demand the returns Of the vote
of the State with the view OF declaring
Gen. Hampton elected Governor and
the triumph of the Tilden Electors.
Tie soldiers still hold the Court House,
and proceedings to. day will be eagerly
anticipated.
The Florida Returning Board was in
session yesterday, with supervising com
mittees OF Republicans and Democrats
to overlook its count of the vote, but
their presence did not prevent fresh
complication. Both parties gave notice
of their intentions TO contest the returns
of certain counties, and when the Board
footed up the aggregate it was shown,
as was claimed in an Associated Press
despatch from Democratic sources, that
fraud had been committed in dropping
Baker county out Of the footing; that
dishonest returns had been made from
it, and that AUST count would give slen-
der majorities to three OF theTilden cleo
tors. Just how this new ENHANCEMENT
will work out is doubtful, and much
may depend upon the events OF the
near future at Tallahassee.
Quiet reigns at New Orleans, and The
Returning Board is going on with The

THE ELECTION.
FROM THE SOUTH.

The events Of Tuesday at Columbia,
S. C., were in accordance with the an
ticipated programme. The federal
military occupied the State-House, and
the eight democratic members elect
from Laurens and Edgeicld being re-
fused admission to the hall of the House
of Representatives, the entire democra-
tic body Of members OF the house, "a
in number, retired from the scene, pro-
testing against the revolutionary and
arbitrary proceedings. The rep. organ
lied with SO members,54 negroes and 4
whites, which they claimed TO be ma
iority and consequently a quorum OF
the number of members shown by the
conyassers to be elected, 1l6. Their
sixtieth member bad retired in disgust
and was soon after followed by another,
thus leaving only So, which, mot being
majority, even according to their own
count, is not quorum. The demo-
Gratis hold that the full House of Rep
resentatives-l24 members-was elect
ed, and that they are now the properly
constituted quorum. Roth OF the dis
gusted republicans have joined them,
and they now number GO. The rival
houses will to-day, it is expected, sever
ally demand official recognition, when
further complications will arise. Much
excitement and Indignation prevails.
The proceedings Of the Florida canvass
ers yesterday developed specimen OF
audacity and trickery fully equal to any
that has yet been detected in South
Carolina or Louisiana. The face OF the
returns as counted gave net majority
OF forty-two III that State TO the Hayes
electors, with one county no: heard
from, which, it is stated, will not vary
the returns twenty votes either way
But it seems that the original and law
full returns from Baker county had been
suppressed and another set substituted.
signed by the sheriff and Judge, but
not by the clerk. The former gave
majority of ninety five 10 the democrats,
the latter a majority of forty-one to the
republicans. The democrats demanded
the reading of the original returns,
which was after considerable opposition
done. This and sundry other counties
will be contested. 1t would seem that
in Florida, Us in Louisiana, the dcsper-
ate nature Of the contest 0iS bringing
out the most desperate and daring de-
vices that remain to the republicans.
The Louisiana returning board resumed
It's session as usual, and on the demand
of the democrats promised to order GER
tain supervisors, who have for some
time been Withholding returns giving
democratic majorities to produce them.

u 0nietsi outrage In Louisiana.
The following dispatch, though a little
old, exposes more Of the Radical infanv
practiced to carry. If possible, the late
election and thwart the will of the peo-
pie:
New ORLEANS, November 5.-Lass
night all tho registration books were
illegally removed to the United States
Custom House, and the work of erusing
at least 10000 white voters begun arbi.
trarily and without authority, and is now
being continued, this Sabbath day, not.
w~ithstanding the positive protests Of our
people.
The State authorities, through the no.
torious perjurer, Blanchard, now execu-
tive clerk OF Kellogg, aud the Custom
House authorities, have combined to
carry out this monstrous outrage against
the rights and SURFACES of the people OF
Louisiana, and the details are being ex-
ecuted in the Custom-H House building as
their joint work.
The United States Marshal held the
custody Of the registration books last
night in violation of all l.w.
Absolute refusal was given to our de-.
mand to erase, on sworn afidavits, 5000
fraudulent registrations known and ad-
mitted by Republicans here to be fraudu-
lent.
Thus goes on the most diabolical out
rage that has ever been attempted
against the most sacred rights and lib.
critics Of q people. Every effort that
human villains can suggest has been
resorted to by the Kellogg aud custom
house leaders to deprive this people of
their snffrsges and to goad them into
violence.
For the sake Of humanity acuuaint the
people Of the North, and of the whole
Union, with the wrongs perpetrated, with
the sanction of the Federal administra.
ton, upon the rights aud liberties Of
American citizens, their brethren.
