The New York herald., 1877-01-15

will not DO ready TOR . week two. Il will show,
among other things the already admitted fact that the
Hayes electors were chosen in South Carolina, not
wthstanding tho widespread terrorism used against
tho colored voters In two precincts In Barnwell
county the republican vote wac diminished from 1000
10 !, 200 by the mounted rife clubs who surrounded
the polls and literally prevented any approach to
the boxes by the blacks. In Robbins precinct OF this
county, the election mad proceeded quietly until ten
o'clock, and some 600 republican votes had becn
polled, when voey OF bullets fired through the
building Tho election managers ran away and the
mob broke up the boxes. The managers opened the
poll again half mile distant and received about 800
republican votes by nightia, but tho democratic
inspector not present the state Board threw out
the whole precinct Had they given this precinct othe
republicans there would have been no need reject
tho Edgeheld and Laurcns districts and Senator Cam
eron thinks public sentiment would have sustained
the State cauvassers had they not been scrupuous.
The committee also investigated the Hamburg and
Ellcnton riots, aud will report that they investi
gated part OF preconccrted plan for the ntmida-
tion Of the coored voters. Senator Cameron when
asked why the face of tho returns Chamberlain
dcfeated and Hayes electors elected answered tnat,
while the committee had not been instructed
to investigate tho State election. he could say
that this result due TO tho personal
appeals Of Hampton TO the coorcd people, who being
many Of them possessed Of property, beloved his
promises of rctrenc chment and lower and voted
for him.
The best part however, OF the work OF tho commit
tee remains TO DO told. Among the witnesses sum-
moncd before II was Judge Mackey, the ofcious CON-
missioner from General Hampton TO Governor Hayes,
who as a profcssed republican. had stumped the
State for Hayes and Hampton. When the question
was put TO him for whom had he voted he was con-
od hv tn tall h0 truth
that he had for Tden. This admission brought
smile to the faces OF all the committee. the more
as the confused and embarrassed witness went on 10
say
"Lct mo explain, Mr. Senator" addressing the
chairman. '.You see. there three democrats
hero with whom ! agreed that they should vote for
Hayes II Hayes not responsible for the sending
Of the troops South Carolina ana that should votc
for Tilien II he responsible"
Sand how did you find outf' asked Senator
Cameron
"Why, wrote 10 him." said the witnesA
.And what was his responsoy"
"He never answered my letter."

Senators know whether Secretary Boutwell, will be
renom,nated. His friends sangune, and no is

ing this end. Besides, it is felt that, II the
democrats there is likelihood Of tho success OF
Judge Hoar, they will act In such way as to insure
the reelection OF Senator Boutwell, A compromise
candidate is believed to be possible but there is
much desire to have Senator Boutwell, continued in
tho Senate authority on tho finances that every
exertlon will be used to aid him.
