IN making up the pay-list OF the
members of the new forty fifth
gress, the Clerk of the House has,
according to Section 38 of the Re-
vised Statu es, omitted the names OF
all members in whose cases he has
received notices Of contest. No
one can be placed upon the roll
for payment until sworn in, or
granted a seat by the House. II
appears that ten members have not
sent in their certificates. None
have been received from New Ham
shire, and one each from Ohio and
Georgia members is missing. About
twenty cases of contested seats are
known to exist, besides the disputes
in several Southern States, leaving
the membership of forty districts of
the list as unsettled. The election
Of a Speaker, so far as his political
complexion is concerned, Is not left
iii doubt, however, provided the
Democrats all unite upon a candi-
date. The Clerk has until the ith
of June to finish his role.

everything else depends. The Pres

South Carolina and . War Q! Rxess.

Of troops from the South Carolina
State House has been issued, as
when first published before the is
saance of the order:
1t seems to be generally agreed
that the Federal troops now sta
toned at the State House in Column
bia, S. c., will be removed. The eX-
pectation is that without Federal
soldiers in the Capitol, the Chamber
lain Government will expire, making
no further struggle for existence.
If its tenure is 50 very slender and
frail as that would Indicate, it would
be worse than useless to attempt its
maintenance. The order in ques-
ton to the commander of the forces
in Columbia will be issued, it is an
4 ticipated, tomorrow.
