What Congress will do.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-As soon as the
house is organized the following resolution
will be offered for adoption;
RscotUed That three special committees consist
ing each of (blank) members shall be appointed by
the speaker of the house to inquire and report re-
spectvelY whether the recent elections of electors
for president and vice president have been conduct
ed in the states of Louisiana, Florida and South
Carolina, In accordance with the constitution and
laws of the United States and the laws of said
states, snd what contests II any have arisen; ss to
who were elected as electors in either of sad states
and what measures are necessary 10 provide for q
determination of such contests and to guaH8
against and determine like contests in the future
election of electors for president and vice president
that for the purpose of speedily executing this
olution, said committee shall have power to send
for persons and papers, to take testimony, and at
their discretion to detail sub-committees with
thorty to take testimony, and, If the exgency of
this service demands, SAID committee may appoint
and employ suitable dsinterestcd and uppreiudced
persons not residents IN either of such states with
authority to take such testimony as may be mater
lal In determining any pending contest growing
out OF the election OF electors in either of said
states.
This resolution is copy of one offered
by Senator Sherman. in 1872, and passed
by the senate upon the 7th of January,
authorizing the senate committee upon
privileges and elections to investigate the
elections in Louisiana and Arkansas. As
a result, the votes of these two states were
thrown out; so good precedent has been
formed for these Investigations. In the
formation of these committees it is of
THE HIGHEST IMPORTANCE
that men be selected whose report will
command the confidence of the north.
Mr.. Springer, who has been here several
days hard at work examining the whole
history of past precedents of counting the
electoral vote, has made some very inter
esting discoveries de has found first that
the precedents are all one way. and that
no joint rule upon the subject of counting

ton of business. The Democrats, includ-
ing the 8 disputed members from Edge
field and Laurens, have "a members and
the Republicans only 60 when all their
members are present. The Democrats
claim that 63 is lawful quorum,
while the Republican claim that majority
of the members admitted by the canvass
ers to be elected, viz: Us, is quorum, and
with their SO they have gone to work.
Mackey, on taking his seat as speaker,
delivered speech. and the SO members
were then sworn 10, only one Republican
being absent.
o. A. Jones, colored, former clerk, was
elected and sworn in.

the electoral vote was passed until 1865.
1t was then a mere formulation of
PAST PRECEDENTs,

PAST PRECEDENTs,
and put in so many words to express the
intent of the constitution that the votes for
president and vice president should be
counted in the presence of the senate and
the house, and that either body should
have the right to reject the vote of any
state upon the ground of fraud The 22d
joint rule was passed in 1865. 1t was
never re-enacted 1t was used in 1869 and
in 1878 in counting the votes for Grant,
and was no more in force 10 those years
than it is now Mr.. Springer.i in examining
the records closely, has found that there is
a wide difference between Joint rules and
rules that each body Of congress has for its
own organization. There is not in the his
tory of congress single precedent to show
that
A JOINT RULE
has ever been re-enacted. It is only pass
ed by concurrent resolution, and, as 81
passed, is law of the land unto congress
until repealed. AS it required concurrent
action to bring it into existence so it would
require concurrent action to repeal it.
Such action has never been had. Last
winter the senate desired TO get rid of the
twenty second joint rule, and so offered a
resolution beginning, Resolved, by the
senate, the house of representatives con-
curing" and then declared that all of the
joint rules. except the 22d, should be re-
enacted. Upon this resolution
THE HOUSE NEVER ACTED,
This concurrent resolution then falls to the
ground. With all the precedents. as
stated above. and the facts with them, it is
now the declared intention of the Demo
Gratis to take the stand that the 22d joint
rule is still in existence. With the facts of
record, as stated above, this position cannot
be successfully assailed.

parts of the building, and the generals two
sisters and two young sons had only time
to escape with their lives. The library

of 1865, when Hampton's fathers home
was buried at the same time as his own.
and the silver and clothing were all burn
ed. The ladies escaped, saving only their
dressing gowns, and Gen. Hampton has
not a single article of clothing except those
he had on. The only thing saved was the
bust of Gen. Wade Hampton, of revolu-
tionary fame. The fire was incendiary.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Nov. 27.-The follow
ing dispatch, signed by Senator Gordon,
of Georgia, Senator Johnson of Virginia,
General Wade Hampton, several circuit
judges, large number of state senators,
white and colored, and
many prominent citizens of this state, has
just been sent to the president of the United
States:
We, the undersigned, visitors from a dis
tance aud committee OF Democratic
members elect Of the South Carolina leg
isiature, the Democratic executive commit
tee and citizens, having just seen by the
Associated Press dispatches that Governor
Chamberlain has applied for Z. s. troops
to be placed under his orders at the as.
sembly of the legislature tomorrow, send
this, our solemn protest. against the
troops being placed under command of
Gov. Cham berlain. We have no objection
to the presence of troops and will cooper
ate with them in preserving the peace,
but we protest against the use of the
United States army in controlling the or
ganization of the legislature aud enforcing
the Inauguration of Gov. Chamberlain,
who has been defeated by the white and
colored voters at the ballot-box. There is
not the remotest danger of disturbance
of the peace by the Democrats. IF it
occurs it will be at the instigation of Gov.
Chamberlain, whose partisans have taken
the only liyes lost in the late exciting can
Yass in this state. Not one drop of blood
has been shed iu any political disturbances
except by Republicans. 1t is literally true
that the Democrats received their greatest
majorities in the counties where the
United States soldiers were stationed.
What pretense, therefore, is there for
Gov. Chamberlain to demand troops to
keep the peace. We refer for con6rma-
ton OF these statements to the commanders
of the United Statss forces at this place
and elseW here in the state.
