-. Especial telegram to the Dispatch.l
COLUMBIA, S. c., November 49, d. III.
Senator Gordon, of Georgia, arrived here
this A. NJ on a. special train to be present
at the count Of the official vote OF the State
by the; Republican Board Of Canvass ers,
which will probably begin tomorrow. A
number OF northern senators are expected
to arrive in the morning for the same pur-
pose. It is understood that the tactics OF
this Board, a majority Of whom are candi-
dates for reelection on the Republican State
! ticket, is to throw out the vote OF several Of
the heavy Democratic counties on the
ground Of alleged frauds, and thus secure
their own election and that OF Chamberlain,
Protests against any judicial action on the
1 part Of the Board have been entered by
counsel for the Democratic candidates, to
which they have replied in resolution
stating that-frst, they will only act in a
ministerial capacity as to Governor and
Lieutenant G oyernor and members Of
the Legislature, the qualifications Of
which officers are to be adiudged by that
body itself; second, that they will not in

te There is great but suppressed excitement
here, as to the result in the State. The peo-
Pile are so confident Of the election OF Haamp-

the most determined opposition and resist
ance to the bitter end. ssa; ;,

COMPLETE THE TABlEAU.

The Plymouth Examining committee
furnished another sensation last night.
Henry {. Bowen went before 1t and read
his statement, and when lac started to 20,
the doors were ordered to be locked, and
an attempt was made to detain him by
force. He broke tor the back part of the
house, followed by his sons shouting for
the reporters to come to their fathers aid
and with dozen or two OF the Plymouth
Christians trying to prevent his exit. He
got out at last, however. To preserve
the dramatic unities the scandal
should eliminate in a grand
slaughter all around. Tilton
ought to kill Beecher and then
drink poison, while MOulton is engaged
in a brOad-sword combat with Sherman.
and during the time this is going on
Bowen might put case of dynamite I'M
der Whites house. blow up the cxamin-
ing committee and himself with il, while
Carpenter and Oliver johnson played
slow music and burned blue lights in the
distance. II would make splendid tab
leau.-Louisrille Ledger.
TO have the tableau complete, Oliver
johnson ought to be called before the cx-
amining committee just before the dy-
Mantle Is placed under Whites house.
JohnsOn's talent as letter writer could
be recognized in no more appropriate
manner than by.blowing him up with dy-
Mantle, or something else. Pastor Halli-
day could supply Johnson's place on the
music.

BABCOCK IN JAIL.
The True Theory Of that Mysterious
Visit 10 the Four Courts.


tfrom the st. Louis Times, Sunday.)
About o'clock Friday evening, while
en- route to the Union depot to depart for
Chicago, General Babcock, accompanied
by Judge Chester ii. krum, called at the
county Jail and requested to be admitted
to General McDonald's cell. The taller
conducted them to the cell and there left
them, but not until he had witnessed q
very cordial greeting between Babcock
and Mcdonald. The two visitors re-
manned about fifteen minutes and then
proceeded to the depot. This conduct OF
Babcock has been variously COM
mentcd upon, and many have re-
fused to believe that he would thus
Immediately after his narrow escape
from conviction and while still resting
under suspicion, Haunt defiance in the
very face Of the public, expressing by his
actions that escape from the pcnitentiary
was all he desired. The fact Is, General
Babcock was virtually compelled to visit
Mcdonald, and dared not leave ST. Louis
without calling upon HIM. During the
progress Of Babcock's trial the prosecu-
ton discovered that certain letters In Nc
Donald's possession from the defendant
would leave the jury no alternative but
to convict. Col. Dyer promptly set
about endeavoring to obtain these letters.
The defense learned Of this move and i'm
mcdiately communicated with Mcdonald
\ messenger conveyed from Babcock
to the plucky prisoner In Jail solemn
promises OF aid to obtain his release if he
would only retain those letters. McDOn-
ald took advantage of this condition OF
circumstances and through the trusty
messenger of Babcock demanded certain
pledges looking to his release. on condi-
ton that he refuse to yield the letters :;
the tullilmcnt of the pledges, OF course
depending upon Babcock's acquittal.
The agreement was ratified by Babcock's
proxy.
The prosecution discovered that il
would be useless to put Mcdonald on the
stand to aid their cause; in fact, they
were afraid to do so. They suspected that
some promise had been made TO him,
and were shrewd enough to realize that
man IN McDonald's position will 20 to
any length to procure freedom. Ii they
put llim on the stand and he preferred
not to tell the truth, he could do so with
impunlty, as Joyce Is the only man who
could contradict him. The defense, for
obvious reasons, did not want him on
the stand; they preferred that he
should remain In his cell. Nc.
Donald kept the secret OF the exist
ence OF those letters and their
place OF concealment within his own bo-
som, and remained content with his bar
gain until the closing speeches of StOrrs
ana Porter We're delivered. These two
gentlemen, counsel for the defendant,
who had aided in sealing the compact in
regard to the letters, denounced McDon-
ald In the most unmeasured terms he
was thief, Il liar and robber he had
aided m dragging the name OF innocent
