the Judiciary Committee agreed to report
fayorably the resolution OF Mr.. McCreary,
Of Iowa. providing for the appointment OF
a committee OF tive members and senators
to prepare and report without delay such q
measure, either legislative or constitutional,
as may in their Judgment be best calculated
to secure the count Of the electoral! vote.
at to-day's meeting OF the committee mo-
ton prevailed to reconsider the action pre-
viously taken, and, strangely enough, all
the Democrats voted in favor OF reconsider
alton. A substitute for the original reso-
tuition was then agreed upon in the shape
Of resolution which will be offered to the
House providing for the appointment Of
seven members OF the House whose duty it
shall be to examine into the existing presi-
dential complication, and report to the
House their powers under constitutional
and statutory Observation-Disclosures -Ame-

LONDON, December ia dispatch from
Constantinople to the Reuter- Company
says the absence OF the Porte 3 representa-
tives from the preliminary conferences Gre
ates an unfavorable impression, The fact
that Russia, an interested party. is permit
ted to sit in judgment, is disgusting.
A Vienna correspondent Of the Times
states that confirmation comes from Con-
stantinople that quito an unexpected and
marked approach has been effected between
the views OF Russia and England. This
seems due, above all, to the assurances
given by General Ignatieif concerning the
aims OF Russian policy. ,~

DEMOCRATIC SAUcE.-The Democratic SEN
ators were called together again in caucus
this afternoon, but the discussion which
took place was OF brief nature and COM
parativcly unimportant. Some OF the
Democratic senators and Representatives say
they are getting tired OF so much caucus and
so little action. Fernando Wood in the
House caucus yesterday admonisbed his
party friends that they were allowing valu-
able time to slip by while they were sitting
with folded hands. lie said, you have done
nothing, and will do nothing, and you are
beat. Some of the members said they felt
very much like Kissing Mr.. Wood for max
ing such remark. Ben. Hill was rather
caustic on the northern Democrats. He in
Dictated that the South had once before been
woeiully deceived by the beligerent talk OF
the northern Democrats, and they did not
propose to be caught in that trap again: He
said the northern Democrats were invinci-
BILE in peace and invisible in war.

SUPREME COURT OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
Especial dispatch to the Gazette.]
WASHINGTON, December H. 1t has
leaked out that one of the agents employed
by Zach. Chandler to do the dirty work OF
the Hayes committee was SilaS Patterson, a
son of the senator of that name. Young
Patterson not only visited Judge Bond,
and persuaded that worthy to repair to Co.
lumbia and liberatc the Board OF State Can
vassers who were committed to Jail for con-
tempt by the Supreme Court, but he also
attempted to bride the Supreme Court
judges by Offering $1,000 to each of them if
they would agree to sustain the Chamber
lain usurpation. The rich part Of the affair
is that Chamberlain has "caught Tartar !"
in young Patterson, who refuses to refund
the bride IN oney, knowing that it could not
be recovered by law. Patterson bids fair
to excel as a politician, and this bit of sharp
practice is an earnest of what may be OK
pected Of him when he grows older. Like
father, like son.

tened to statement of the case and very
coolIy decided that any player had right
to shuttle the cards previous to the draw. y
The attorney succunlbed and tnel eater
allowed any player to shuttle the cards to
his hearts content, before the draw" as
well as before the deal. .
So the game proceeded. Towards morn
ing the attorney thought he had struck a
good thing. The district judge sat on tle
left of the assemblyman aud the latter
dealt The attorney had aces up, and af-
ter furnishing each player the dealer laid
down the deck As this was done our at
torney observed the district judge dive
over and Look at the first card.
His honor immediately opened the pot
with bet of $40.
Thinking that Ills right to shuttle would
protect him. our attorney made no remark
on observing this irregular proceeding of
the Judge, but saw the bet and came
in"
The dealer then proceeded to ''help"
the Hands when the attorney cried out,
Not much you don't! I'll just take a
shuttle at those cards
You'll he allowed to do no such a
thing" said the judge.
"l'll do it or I'll take all the money there
is up!' cried the attorney; "1'll have my
shuttle or III kick over this table, and be-
sides Ill kick any man that attempts to
interfere with mel"
There was now sound Of six shooters
clicking under the table and matters be-
gan to look very serious, as each man had
either pistol or knife lying in his lap.
Keep your temper. young man, calm
ly said the district judge, what you ask to
do is altogether against the rules Of the
game. You are altogether wrong in ask
ing to shuttle the cards in the present
game.
How can l be wrong? | am only de-
mandiDg my right under the rule laid
down by Bill Hill, which is that any player
has the right to schufle the cards before
the draw" Bill hill shall be called
again to decide This game can't go on
till I've heard what Bill Hill has to say
about my right to shuffle!"
"Weli, we'll leave it to Bill. Ill.," said
all hands. land you'll find out that you
are wrong"
Il can't be wrong! Go and bring Bill
Hill" cried our attorney
Bill Hill was with much trouble got Ut
| out of he'd, where he had been quietly
slumbering for some hours. He came
into the room rubbing his eyes and yawn,
mg. The situation was explained to him
by both parties, and when he fully under.
stood it he said: Gentlemen, as ] OBJ
served in the earlier part of the evening
according to the rules of draw poker any
player has the right to shuttle on the dealer
before the draw yet, gentlemen, to this
rs to all other rules, there are exceptions
in the case | am now called upon to decd,
the exception and not the rule governs
This exception consists in the fact that
when the player next to the dealer know.
that his 'lnjrn' is on top, then no shuttle
can be had, and this. gentlemen, is the
law OF draw poker 10 Stillwater!'
Oar Comstock attorney, after consider
ing the situation for time, quietly &C

said: Gentlemen. | am now more thar
