jim. BLAINES SENSATION,
He VIII Inaugurate a Lively Fight
Against Hayes.
STARTLING RESOLUTIONS TO BE IN.
TRODUCED IN THE NEXT
CONGRESS-.
The Resolution to Dispute Hayes's Title
to the Presidency.
AND TO SUGGEST PLANS FOR THE SETTLE
MENT OF THE PROBLEM.

SAN Francisco, April 20.-The Argo-
naut, Frank Pixley's new weekly, will
publish the following tomorrow; We
understand from a source we believe to
be throughly reliable that there is now
in the possession ofa Senator ofthe Unit
ed States, at present in this city, paper
of the utmost political importance to the
country, and if all that is said about it be
true, will create such sensation as the
country has not seen since the days OF
the Electoral Tribunal. The paper is
nothing more nor less than copy of a
set of resolutions which it is the purpose
of Mr. Jas. G. Blaine to introduce in the
meeting of Congress in June.
The resolution after setting forth that
there exists grave doubts in the minds Of
quite large proportion of the American
people as to the legality ofthe final settle
ment of the Presidential question which
resulted in the Inauguration ofMr Hayes
20 on to say that it is due to the Ameri-
can people, and particularly to millions
who, while believing that he had been
fairly defeated, yet accepted the decision
Ill MS ldNOT III kOOu ldlIlls w oubhhiV WV
question to a final arbitrament of the
highest tribunal known to the Constitu-
ton, the supreme Court of the United
States.
That inasmuch as the propriety ofsuch
proceedings may be held to be a matter
of doubt, because of the fact that five
members of that Court were members Of
the late tribunal, therefore, the resolu-
tions propose a grand Court of Arbitra-
ton especially to consider all questions
that may be brought before it relating to
the legality of Hayes's tenure, whether
in the nature of IA quo ,CaTantO or other
wise, and that the Court be composed Of
Chief Justices of the Supreme Courts of
each State in the Union, thirty.eight
Judges in all.
That the portion of the resolutions
which proposes this Court takes the form
of a bill, to which is added a provision
that any person other than the defeated
candidate may bring action to dispossess
the present incumbent.

RECONSTRUCqING SOUTH CAROLINA
The Legislature Recognized Under
Hampton The Republican
Majority in Jail.

COLUMBIA, April 24.-The General AS
sembly met in extra session, on a call Of
Governor Hampton, at noon. In the
House the proceedings were confined to
calling the roll ofthe Wallace House as it
stood when it adjourned. in December,
with SO members. An adjournment to
tomorrow was then ordered.
The names of members of the Mackey
House were not put on the roll, and no
action has yet been taken concerning
them. In the Senate the former Lieu
tenant Governor, Gleaves, called the
body to order and made farewell ad-
dress, insisting he was legally Reelected,
but that further resistance would be
futile.
Swails, President pro tem., took the
chair, and motion was adopted for
committee to wait on Simpson, the Hamp-
ton Lieutenant Governor and to swear
him in. Simpson came forward and told
the Senate that he had already been de-
clared elected and had qualified with
1HulDlOu ldbJ DGttulDGI, anu lu pOWSl
on earth could make him take the oath
again. After some discussion the Senate
reConsidered its action, and struck out
the provision for swearing in Simpson,
Simpson then took seat, and delivered
brief address, urging harmony and
strict regard for the rights and privileges
of all claases.
A motion was then made to swear in
the three Democrats from Edgefeld, Alb
bevile and Laurens, whom the Senate
had previously refused to seat. Objec-
ton was made, but Simpson ruled that on
certificates of election they were entitled
to seats, subject to contest, and declined
to entertain any appeal from his ruling.
The three Senators, with the Democrat
elected since the adjournment to fill the
vacancy in Barnwell, were then sworn
in.
The Legislature now stands 10 Demo-
Gratis to IS Republicans but one Repub-
lican usually votes with the Democrats,
and another is in Jail under criminal
charges awaiting trial, so that the vote
virtually stands l6 to 16, the Lieutenant
Governor having the casting vote.
The indications are that Associate Jus.
tiCe Willard, a New York Republican,
will be nominated for Chief Justice by
the Democratic caucus and elected in ac-
cordance with Hampton's avowed desire,

PRESIDENT Hayes has shown by his
Cabinet appointments, that he is posses
sed of more of the milk Of human kind
ness than ordinarily falls to the lot of
man. BY his selection of the Democrat
Key for Postmaster General, he leaped
the ordinary boundaries of lines and
and brought him into the Cabinet with a
view to satisfy the dissatisfied spirits Of
the South, that a Republican President
is not the untrustworthy, corrupt and
dishonest American citizen that the nor
thern Democratic party for selfish and
sordid purposes endeavored to make
the Southern hotheads believe. If
President Hayes can convince and in
duce any considerable number of those
fossil aristocrats in Southern climes to
believe that Northern 'Mudsill Republi-
cans have coursing in their veins the
warm blood of generous natures, willing
to forgive and even ignore the past, upon
a promise of future good behavior on
their part, it is more than our most lively
faith can aspire to. Yet we most earn
estly hope that President Hayes may
realize his most sanguine hopes in their
behalf.-Ca,yOH Free Press.
So, according to the Carroll county
radical organ, Mr., Hayes is possessed
of more of the milk of human kindness
than ordinarily falls to the lot of man.
This looks like left handed compli-
ment. We are glad the Carroll organ
most earnestly hopes President Hayes
may realize his most sanguine hopes"
but it is evidently more than our Carroll
neighbor expects. The course of Hayes
evidently annoys, This acknowledge
ment of Hayes that South Carolina and
Louisiana went Democratic last Novem-
Der is not pleasant to the radical organs.
1t crops out plainly in the above article.

Spofford United States Senator. In
the Joint session Mr., Jonas put in nomi-
nation Judge H. M. Spofford, the choice
of the Democratic caucus.
Senator Allan, on behalf OF his con-
stituents, said he seconded the nomina-
ton. He had been asked not to vote,
but he hoped the Republicans would not
adopt such suicidal policy. He trusted
that the Republicans would cast their
votes for the nominee, so that he could
90 to the United States Senate as rep
reseutative, not of one party, but OF the
whole people. Mr.. Stewart Of Tensas,
also advised his Republican friends to
support Judge Spofford.
Mr. Hahn said he would like to vote
for Republican if there was any chance
of electing one, but as there was not, he
cast his vote for Judge Spoford. He eu-
logized the ability Of the honorable nom;
inee, and referred to his brilliant record
on the Supreme Bench.
Governor Warmoth said the Republl-
can party was now disbanded, and there
was only one party.
The vote was as follows; Spotiord l4O,

LOUlSIANA'S RESTORATION
Removal of the Soldiers From
About the st. Louis Hotel.
ALMOST UNANIMOUS ELECTION OF
JUDGE SP0FFORD TO THE
SENATE.

New ORLEANS, April 24.-As the Cathe-
dral clock struck twelve to day, a detach-
ment Of the Third Infantry, under COM
mand ofLieutenant-C Colonel ]. r. Brooke,
marched out of the Orleans Hotel, passed
up Chartres street to st. Louis street, and
out st. Louis street to the river, where
they embarked on steamboat for the
barracks. About one hundred men from
otherregiments assembled onthe opposite
side of the street in front Of the Orleans
Hotel to see their comrades move. When
the infantry band began 10 play few
hundred persons gathered on the streets
along the line of march, but there was
not the slightest demonstration Of any
kind. On the galleries of the Orleans
and st. Louis hotels stood few Of tbe
adherents of Governor Packard looking
at the movement Of the troops and the
people in the streets below. This after
noon 100 guns were fred, and there was
a liberal display Of flags in honor OF the
withdrawal Of the troops.

THE New York correspondence of the
Philadelphia Ledger refers to move
ment on foot for a meeting, in the first
named city, ofall those in flavor of main
tanning the integrity and indivisibility of
the Republican party"-that is, those
who are opposed to Mr.. Hayes carrying
out the Democratic Southern paci6cation
policy. The movement originates with
the friends Of Mr.. Blaine, Wendell Phil
lips and such leaders, and will embrace
representative Republicans from all Sec
tions of the country. 1t is in view of the
approaching extra session of Congress,
in order to keep the Republican party
from goirg to pieces.

The Infamous Registry Law,
Speech of Mr.. Converse Against
the Bill.
THE REPUBLICAN MEMBERS OF THE LEGIS.
LATURE SUPPORT lT-A SCHEME TO INAUG'
URATE THE LOUISIANA TACTICS IN OHIO.

On the 18th inst, the Republican ma
iority passed DunCan's infamous registry
bill. 1t was carried by bare majority,
the Democrats voting solidly against.
Mr.. Converse offered number OF
amendments to the bill, demanding the
yeas and nays-all of which were voted
down by strict party vote, and the bill
was passed
He discussed at considerable length,
on the final passage of the bill, the fol-
lowing propositions:
l. The bill presCribes other qualifiCa-
tions for an elector than those provided
by the constitution of the State, and is
therefore in violation Of the provisions Of
that instrument.
2. The pay and expenses Of the regis
ters, the purchase of books, stationery,
clerk hire, fuel, rent printing, &C., will
cost the State not less than $50 900 year,
8. The measure is a scheme whereby
fraud may be perpetrated upon the bal
lot box in Ohio without subjeCting the
perpetrators to the risk of service in the
penitentiary.
In support of this he showed that reg
listers were to be appointed on Monday,
and on the following Friday and Satur-
day to register the voters; that if the reg
istrar refused or neglected from any cause
to make the registration on these days,
then the persons required to register were
and without remedy; that
this feature of the bill was taken from
the villainous registration laws of Louis
lana, by means of which the Republican
party have stolen the Presidency; that
no registrar could be punished for
fraudulent registration and the giving of
fraudulent certificates, and there was no
pretenCe or punishment except a petty
fine; that the bill provides for driving
citizens and spectators away from the
polls while the voting is going on, thus
making it easy; that the bill prohibits
testimony in case of challenge, except
nouse-holders who are electors in the
election precinct, and personally known
TO the trustees and certificates OF registra-
lion.
That the measure requires from labor.
ing men two days instead of one in which
10 exercise the right of suffrage, a useless
waste Of time and a sacrifice which many
poor laboring men are not able to make
unless paid by wealthy candidates for of.
fice. He denounced the whole scheme
as one of concealed fraud and villainy,
The like of which has never before been
proposed in Ohio, the whole purpose and
object of which is to enable the Republi-
can party to fraudulently carry the cleo
tions in Ohio as they have been doing in
the South. He claimed that the only
thing needed was small election pre-
cincts, and an invitation to all citizens to
be at the polls on election day, and their
presence would guard the ballot box and
prevent illegal voting.

THE non-Mormon residents of Utah
held mass meeting at Salt Lake on the
18th, and adopted series of resolutions
which will be presented to Congress in
the shape of memorial. They claim
that polygamy is increasing, and ask'for
legislation on the subject. The resolu.
lion in regard to the qualifications of vO-
ters is as follows: "That all male inhab-
itants twenty-one years of age, citizens of
the United States, shall be entitled to
vote and be eligible for Office provided,
however, that no person living in the
practice of polygamy or bigamy shall be
permitted to hold any Office, to vote at
any election, or to act as jurors; that all
votes shall be by secret ballot, and that
ali laws in conflict be repealed"
