After fome further attempts at DELAY
Mr.. Cochrune offered resolution tha
the decision OF the Electoral Commission
on the votes OF South Carolina be no
sustained by the House and be no
counted.
The discussion was opened by Mr.
Hooker, who declared that in the case o
South Carolina, ns in the other cases o
Florida and Louisiana, tile Commission
had refused TO perform the functions
with whicE it had been invested hat
refused to take evidence on the subiec
matter, and that therefore the House wa.
not bound by its action.
Mr.. Lapham defended the action o
the Commission, and alluded to speech
made at public meeting in Washington
last evening by one OF the Commissioners
(Hunton), in which he declared that il
was their duty to stop the count, to do
ANYTHING TO GEAT HAYES.
II those who were making opposition tc
the count thought they would find in the
people anything but condemnation oi
their act, they were very much in error
Mr.. GoCde declared that the duty oi
the Democrats now in reference TO the
commission was to do unto others as they
would have others do unto them under
like circumstances. They should accord
to the Republican party what they them,
selves would have unanimously demand.
ed il the decision had been in their favor
1t was not only
uNwIsE BUT UEMAHLY
to try to reverse the decision Of the com,
mission by any indirect method or by
any clamorous complaints. 1t was the
dictate OF wisdom, Of policy, of manhood
and honor, to stand by the compact they
had entered into and to execute in good
faith the law which they had made. Hc

in South Carolina were President Grant
and his creatures, and that the

King OF men, Wade Hampton and his
followers.
Mr.. Lawrence defended the action oI
the Commission and Mr.. Franklin op.
posed il.
Mr.. Banks said: Taking every vote or
both sides and making no question Of in.
timidation or armed interfeEence, the
vote OF South Carolina for Hayes and
Wheeler had tbeen just Us absolute and
indisputable as the vote OF Massachusetts
As to the Electoral Commission he saw
nothing in Its act but the strictest adher.
ancc to law and justice. Replying to the
speech OF Mr.. Goode lie asserted that
every white man in Charleston, capable
OF bearing arms, was armed to the teeth
not to sustain the laws of the State or OF
the National Government, but as enc.
mics OF both.
Mr.. Vance, OF North Carolina, paid his
respects to Mr.. Hoar, and imagined the
