THE SITUATION.
CHARLESTON, $. c., Dee. 2..-There is
| no change in the situation. The Demo.
Gratis and Republicans passed the night in
the hall of the representatives, and at
o'clock the bayonet house and senate
adopted the concurrent resolution to
POSTPONE THE COUNT
OF the vote tor governor until Monday at
2p.m. There is. therefore, no likelihood
of trouble at present, and the threatened
interference of troops IL at least de-
ferred.
THE DEADLOCK.
COLUMBIA, 5. c., Dec. 1.-The legisla-
tive lock seems to be resolving itself into
question Of physical endurance. The
extraordinary body known as the house
of representatives duplicate, speakers,
clerks and sergeant-at-arms, exercising
| simultaneous and conflicting jurisdiction,
but SO far without violence, is now en-
tering its third night OF continuous ses-
sion, and, although doing almost moth
| ing, will probably sit through the
twenty-four hours of Sunday. Neither
side dares adjourn, lest it gives the other
the advantage ofeXcluslve occupation of
| the hall, and the mutual distrust has so
| tar baiiled every effort at concurrent adj
journment. Both sides expect
THE CRISIS
Upon the attempt by the Republicans to
| declare Chamberlain governor in the face
OF the known fact that Hampton was
elected. The action of the Republicans
to-day in again postponing this ceremony
until next Monday shows that they are
nervous about meeting the issue.
RUGER RETREATS.
it appears settled that Kruger will not
again interfere except to preserve the
! peace, but great deal depends upon the
manner in which this expression is con-
stuffed. The Republicans will probably
strike blow Monday, rs every day OF
inactivity weakens their nupber and
| spirits.
AN IMPosTER IN THE HOUSE,
| The damaging fact came out that the
person claiming to be Silas Caye, one of
the bogus members admitted from Barn
| we'll 10 give the Republicans quorum,
was All imposter, the real Silas Cave be-
ing at home, having refused point blank
| to claim seat To which he knew he was
| not entitled. aa aa
