Some conception Of the condition OF
affairs In South Carolina during the
reign Of the great plundering combina.
ton which took possession Of the State
at the close Of the war may be formed
from the fact that among the persons
lately indicted at Columbia are two
Governors, one United States Senator,
one Lieutenant Governor, four State
Senators, two Speakers Of the House OF
Representatives., two members of the
Legislature, TWO Congressman, two
State TressuFers, two Controller Gen.
erals, one Secretary of State, one
Judge Of The Supreme Court, one Clerk
Of the House, one Clerk of the Senate,
one Financial Agent and one Revenue

upon the State go much disgrace aud

IN q joint discussion between senA-
atOr Stanley Matthews and Gen. Tom.
Ewing, at Dayton, the latter charged
that 1t was generally reported and be-
lievtd that Matthews made q bargain
by which Hayes was counted in as
President. Mr.. Matthew'S declared
that the report was false, but now
comes the Baltimore Sun, q journal
whose reputation is excellent, and re-
fers to the Senator'S denial in this
manner: "Mr. Stanley Matthew'S is
evidently going . little too far when
he makes, as in his discussion with
General Ewing, 90 plump and com.
prehensive q denial Of the fact of HE

Mr.. Matthews repeatedly sought out

urged them to allow the Electoral
count to proceed, and assured them
that everything would be made right
for the South. As this whole matter
will undoubtedly be Investigated by

seen whether Mr. Matthews, when put
under oath, will have the hardlhOOd to
deny the promises which be made In

WASHINGTON, ID. o.. Oct. l3-3 D. m.
A cloud still envelopes the organization of the
House, but the trieuds Of each candidate *
press the most couiieut hopes. There will be
some woefu disarpoutments. The election OF
Mr.. Randall seems to be conceded. though his
opponents arc still boast!ul. The highest con.
test will be for Clerk-5etween Messrs. Adams
and Caldwell, the chances of the former beiog
little brighter to day. Mr.. Patterson expresses
moro con6dcuce day, and seems sure Of his
reelection as Doorkecpcr. Mr.. Thompson, for
Sergeant alarms, has no opposition. If the
candidates for other positions from Virginia
fail, Capt Seuart will have no real opposition
for Postmaster. The delegations from the diff.
terent States are getting together tor consulta-
ton, and it is expected that the caucus to. night
will be rather exciting one. Tho entire Vir.
einia delegation is here.
