INTERVIEW WITH COL. WIN. A. COOK.
Colonel VIM. A. Cook, of this city, who was
present last week in Columbia, South Caro-
lima, 10 witness the proceedings there in ref
erence TO the CANVASS OF the vote OF the state
and the legal proceedings i'm relation thereto,
returned to the city on Saturday morning.
In reference to the condition of affairs there,
he says that there is a deep feeling in both of
the political parties and manifest inclination
10 violence. Tomorrow being the day for
the organization of the legislature, IL is re-
ported and generally believed that there will
DC in Columbia n very large force of the or
ganization known as
RIFLE CLUBS"
who Will be prepared to make a move to cap
uurc the state house aud offices at a precon-
certed signal. Thsre are, however. now in
Columbia COO TO 500 u. s. troops, acting as in
fantry, and Mr.. Cook believes that the scope
of their duty will be TO prevent any violence
about the state house. In answer to an in
quiry as TO whether there was no armed or
sanitation in the other Srepublican) party,
Col. Cook said: There is at least no armed
THE MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE.
with the exception of those from Edgefield
and Iaurens the former county having )
and the latter 3 representatives will meet
and organize tomorrow. The full house is
composed of 14 members, and leaving these
two counties out there will be but 116, and the
republicans will have a majority, and the
house, when il acts on the admission of dele
gates from Laurens and Edgefeld, viii neces-
sarily decide in favor of the republican cam
didateS.
Mr.. Cook says that the question for to-mor-
row is the organization of the legislature, and
upon this body will devolve the election of
governor and other officers, and whichever
party secures the organization will secure
the gOvernOrship. Col. Cook regards the ques-
ton as 10 the vote of the state for President
and Vice President as being settled, for the
republican electors already have in their
hands their certificates of election.
THERE MAY BE TWO LEGISLATIVE ORGAN
IZATIONS,
and il is understood that the troops will not
interfere with the democrats, except To pre-
vent violence. As to the Inauguration of
governor there is no specified time for the
ceremonial TO take place, nor is il necessarily
"a public one; so both of the candidates may
go through the form of taking the reins of
government, and il is probable that there
will be no trouble.
Col. Cook says in relation TO
THE IMPRISONMENT OF THE CANvASSERS,
that IL is probable that an application will be
made for writ of habeas corpus in the u. s..
circuit court, and Judge Bond is now there.
On the hearing on the writ a motion will be
made for their discharge, on the ground that
they have been committed in relation to a
matter connected with the federal govern
meBt, and for the purpose of enabling the
state court and others to control their action
in relation TO questions in which the u. s.
government is interested, viz The selection
OF electors, members Of Congress and u. S.
Senator.
