New YORK, Dec. %.
The Times Jacksonville special
says: "a correspondent interview wed
Chief Justice Randall to-day as to the
bearing OF the decision OF the Supreme
Court i'll the mandamus case on the
national question. He said that the
rights of no person were decided by
the Court: that it did not add par
ticle to the evidence that Tilden had
carried the State. 1t was, he said, sim
gly a question as to what was the duty
OF the State Board Of Canvassers which
the Court had T. deal with, and that II
any of Tilden's friends find encourage
ment in the action OF the Court, 1t only
showed in what desperate need of en-
couragement they stood. The Chief
Justice, speaking outside Of his posi-.
ton, has no doubt that Hayes is fairly

WASHINGTON, Dec. 90.
The Senate Committee on Priv
leGes and Elections commenced taking
testimony to-day in the Oregon case.
The Senate branch of the joint COM
mittee on counting the electoral votes
had a long session again this morning.
No proposition has yet been presented
to the committee by any OF the mein-
bers. One of them says the indica-
tions are that no conclusion on any
point can possibly be reached by the
Senate branch of the committee for
several days Mt least: and that the mat
ters now before them are in such an
uncertain condition as to preclude any
reasonable conjecture as to the result
of their deliberations.
The Republican electoral votes of
Oregon were yesterday delivered to
Senator Ferry by General Odeli in the

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.
Reports in the case of the admission
Of Bedford from Colorado as a member
of the House, are nearly ready to come
from the judiciary Committee.
Hurd has written a minority report,
which is expected to be signed by
Ashe, Hunton and possibly, though
not certainly, by Lynde, besides the
writer of il. Hurd's report will take
the ground that the admission of a
State is a legislative act and that Con-
gress ann delegate to any other de-
partment the authority to max the
declaration that n State has been added
to the Union. The report treats the
proclamation of the President as of no
value and regards the law under which
he issued it as imperative. The re-
port il accompanied by a bill declaring
that Colorado having complied with
the provisions OF the enabling act is
admitted into the Union as a State.
Some inquiry is likely to be made as
to what shall he done with Nevada,
which was admitted in precisely the
same manner as Colorado, and which,
according to Hurd's theory, is not yet
a State.
The House met at noon and adj
journed immediately to Wednesday
next, owing to the want OF a quorum.

keen were the weapons with which the
wounds were inflicted, that he was not

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
HATES AND HAMPTON AHEAD.

NEW YORK, Dec. 80.
A Times Columbia SPECIAL says: Not
withstanding tho fact that the House
Congressional Committee unanimous
lv resolved last night that the Hayes
Electors had received u majority in
South Carolina, the Supreme Court
seems determined 10 have a hand in
the business.
Corbin, counsel for the Hayes Elec-
tors, went into Court this morning and
gave it to understand that he did not
intend recognizing the jurisdiction OF
the Court any further. Corbin inform
ed fhe Court that he considered the
case as already transferred, and that
this Court had no further control over
it; that he shonld now proceed to ask
a certiorari from the United States Cir
cult Court in order to carry the record
into that Court.
Judge Willard %thereupon said:
swell, that is the end Of the case."
Whether this means that the Court
will give Judgment by default in favor
OF the Democratic Electors, or will re-
gard the case as transferred can only
be conjectpred.
The habeas corpus case which brings
up the collateral question OF who l.
Governor was argued to-day before
Judge Carpenter in the Circuit Court.
The case promises to be an exhaustive
one, and the decisions will have a very
important influence upon the political
status here.

We know of but one parallel among
railroad accidents to the holocaust Of
night before last at Ashtabula, Ohio.
In 1852 or 1853 the eastern bound New
York aud New Haven train ran into
an open 'draw" at Norwalk, Connect
cut. The engine leaped the chasm in
safety, but the train was precipitated
some fourteen feet into the water. 1t
was in summer and in broad day light,
and the horrors of fire were not added
to tho catastrophe; but the tide was
up, the water was deep, and some forty
unfortunates persisted. 1t was at that
time the most murderous accident that
had ever occurred on a railroad. A
thrill Of horror swept throughout the
land, and in many of the States the
"Norwalk massacre" was made the
foundation stone upon which were
built laws looking to greater safety in
the future.
The loss of life on the Lake Shore
Railroad was much greater than at Nor
walk-indeed we believe that it is the
greatest that has ever occurred-but,
as far as our dispatches indicate, there
does not seem to have been the same
element of c%arelessness on the part of
the employees as was implied by the
open drawbridge and the undimin.
ished rate of speed in the Norwalk
case. The fault, if any, lay with the
bridge. builders. The bridge appears
to have fallen of its own weight, and
in the darkness of the night the un-
conscious engineer conducted his liv-
ing freight into a chasm of death. AS
at Norwalk the engine leapod the open
ing in safety, but the train was hurled
into the abyss. The cen al be bet
Ter imagined than described. Our dis
patches convey but n faint idea of the
horrors which the dawn after the dark
and stormy night revealed in that
ravine of death. '

been all consumed, while men went
about in wild excitement, seeking
some trace of a lost n among the
wounded or dead. The list Of the
saved and wounded having been al
ready sent the sad task remains of
discovering who may be among the
dead. The latter task will tie the
most difficult of all, until the contin-
ued absence of here and there a friend
will allow Of but one explanation
that he was among these who took
this fatal leap. All witnesses SO far
agree AS to the main facts of tho ac-
cideDt. Suddenly, without warning,
the train plunged into the abyss, the
forward locomotive alone getting
across In safety. Almost Instantly the
lamps and s'oves set fire to the cars,
and many who were doubtless only
stunned and who might otherwise
have been saved, fell victims to the
fury OF the flames.

NEW YORK, Dec 80.
At 4 o'clock A. NJ, the ship Circas-
sian, lying ashore on the bar off
Bridgehampton on the south shore OF
Long Island, was entirely broken up
10y the southeasterly gales and lost, to-
gether with 20 lives. The Circassian
went ashore in the storm of the
night of the 18th inst. At that time
the crew and officers were saved.
The storm of yesterday caught 81
men, employees Of the Coast Wreck
ing Company on hoard, and a short
time after midnight the ship went to
pieces with an a~ ful crash. Accord
ing To accounts four survivors were
washed ashore this morning, more
dead than alive, on fragments of
the wreck. No one of the remain
ing 81 has been seen or heard from
up to the present time, and there is
but little doubt that all have per-
ished. The Circassian was insured
for 800, 900 in London, and the cargo
for $780, 600 in this city.

CLEVELAND, Dec. 20.
A special train with physicians,
nurses and everything for the comfort
of the wounded of the wreck left the
Union depot at l0:30 o'clock.
The weather is growing colder at
Ashtabula and only tour bodies so far
have been taken from The debris. The
night there is quite clear, and now that
the snow has almost stopped makes 1t
almost like day. 1t is estimated that
there were IT'S passengers on the i'll.

these were burned to death or frozen.
The train was drawn by two engines;
one engine remained on the bridge and
