COLUMBIA, s. c., November 30-6 P. M.
When the people of Columbia lay down to rest
last night, they little dreamed of the eventful
day that should dawn upon the morrow.
Pursuant to adjournment, the Democratic
House of Representatives convened at 10
o'clock this morning and Immediately went
into secret session. From the hurried manner
in which members went in and out of the hall
it was soon suspected that some decided action
had been determined upon. A few moments
passed, and then the plan became apparent to
ALL The Democrats had, at last decided to
make bold stand and demand their rights in
the legislative hall of the State.
In squads of fours and eights they steadily
pressed nearer to the Statehouse. At the
door of the Statehouse stood guard of the
United States troops but they evidently had
other orders than those under which they act
ed on Tuesday. The Democrats were admit
ted, and, in solid body, assembled the stairs
towards the door of the Hall of Representa-
! tives.
Col. A. G. Haskell and Mr.. James L. Orr
headed the body, and we're stopped at the door
by United States marshal and the Radical
sergeant.atarms They asked for admttance
and we're refused. The members in the front
rank drew their certificates. The doorkeepers,
not expecting the crisis, were nonplussed.
The door was opened to pass the front men,
bers in, who, on getting half way in, flung
open the door, and the Democrats as body
marched into the hall and took their seats.
There was but one sharp, decisive struggle,
and all was over, although at one time it seem"
ed that bloodshed was imminent.
Inside of the hall were seated about forty of
the negro members, who stared with blank as
tonishment at the influx of white faces. Gen.
w. II. Wallace, the legally-elected Speaker
of the House, proceeded at once to the Speak
er's stand and took the chair, followed by the
Democratic clerk, who also took his position
on the stand The Democratic sergeant-at.
arms remained at the door alongside of the
Radical sergeant-at-arms. Things remained
at stand-still for about FIVE minutes, when
Gen. Hampton applied for admittance at the
door, and was refused by the Radical sergeant
alarms. A scufle ensued, and trouble again
appeared inevitable, but before the issue came,
Gen. Hampton declined to enter and withdrew.
Five minutes more passed, when everybody's
attention was attracted to the door by the en-
trance of E. w. M, Mackey, A. O. Jones, Uni:
ted States Detective Hubbard and others of
the hangers,on. As they neared the Speakers
stand, Speaker Wallace raped with the gavel

THE STATE CANYASSERS.

The habsas corpus case of the Board Of
State Canvassers came up before Judge Bond,
of the United States Circuit Court, on
Wednesday of last week. The Board was
represented by Judge Settle, of North Caro-
lima and Judge Denny, of Indiana, and the
respondents by Gen. Bradley T. johnson, OF
Virginia, and Gen. Jas. Conner, of Charles
ton. A motion was made by the counsel for
the respondents, to dismiss the writ of habeas
corpus, quash the proceedings and remand the
prisoners to the custody of the Sheriff Of
Richland county. Judge Bond took the pa
pers in the case and reserved his decision. In
the meantime the Board of State Canvsssers
are practically at large and lending their as
sistance to manipulating the proceedings in
the Bayonet House of Representatives.
