SOUTH CAROLINA.
The House Committee Report the
State for Hayes and Hampton.

WASHINGTON Feb. 1S.-Representative Say
Ter of Ohio, chairman of the South Carol;ra in
veStigating committee, will make his report to-
morrow. 1t states that many mistakes and
inaccuracies were found in the returns. SEINE
OF these were signed by one and some by TWO
managers, but if the returns affected by such
Irregularities were rejected it will not change
the result. The result by ascertaining the votes
cast at all precincts and correcting the mis-
takes made by the managers IN returns, shows
that Bowen received the smallest vote on the
Republican electoral ticket, namely 92,091 votes
over MCGOWAN, who received the largest vote
on the Democratic ticket.-9l, 26O yotes-a ma
jority of 831 votes. The law of South Carolina
passed in 1875 divided the different counties in
to precincts and provided that all elections
should be held at the voting precincts so estab-
lished. 1t established in the county Abbe-
vile II voting precincts, naming Abbevile
court house and the Is other places Although
it was enacted that there should be II voting
precincts the names of only 16 were given. The
same mistake was made in the several statutes
of some of the other counties. In several of
the other counties provision was made for from
2 to voting places IN the county seat usually
called the court house, as "Abbeville Court
Bouse, in county of the same name, but in all
these instances they were carefully specified as
Nos. 1, 2, and 4. The committee say that an
extra aud illegal polling place was opened in
this county, where 432 Republican and 10
Democratic votes were polled These should not
be counted. Also another fraud was attempt
ed by counting Robbins precinct with 1137 votes
returned for the Republicans, which was a
palpable fraud gotten up to secure the election
of the state and county candidates of the Re-
publicans
The committee reviewed the various proceed
ings 10 that state and say that South Carolina
before claiming to help make laws for sister
states or through electors to participate in the
election OF a President ought to be held to COM
ply with the provisions Of her own constitution
to secure a just and honest election. The COM
mittee consider that Chamberlain was not
elected but was held in power solely by troops,
course which they heartily condemned; also
that more blacks were intmidated FROM voting
the Democratic ticket by threats of people Of
their own coloror than were kept from voting
the Republican ticket by threats of whites.

WASHINGTON, Feb 18-The Senate is so
much behindhand with the indispensable BUSH
ness of the session, that it is probable that

appropriation bill be taken up. As vet only
two appropriation bills-the consular and diplo.
matte and penson-have become laws; and
there are ten others, some of them in confer
