SOUTH CARoLINA.-It has been pub
liahed that information from the
Senate South Carolina committee
was to the effect that they would
report that Chamberlain had been
e'ectcd by a very large majority.
There is no doubt that the Senate
committee will make such a report,
and the value of it may be measured
when it is known that during the
whole progress of it's investigation
the Senate committee has takon no
testimony. at all bearing on the
election. Its whole time has been
occupied in hunting up and ex-
amining witnesses in reference to
the Ellenton and Hamburg affairs.
1t is learned that without doubt
the House South Carolina commit
tee will be unanimous in the opinion
that the Hayes and Wheeler electors
received a majority of votes. In
this case the House will of course
accept the opinion of it's committee,
and this will remove the South
Carolina electoral vote from the
domain of dispute, leaving only to
be considered the votes of Florida
and Louisiana and the one vote of
Oregon. AS between Chamberlain
and Hampton the report will be
very strong in favor Of the latter,
although it may not be unanimous.

Before the result was announced
Senator Cody rose and changed Lis
vote from Smith to Hill. Others
followed il quick succession. The
four colored members changed from
Walker to Hill amid great applause,
and then u stampede ensued. Amid
great confusion the result was an
nounccd. Hill had received 11G
votes, Norwood 85, Scattering II.
The corridors were crowded with

Warren r. Marshall testified be-
fore the Senate Committee in Co.,
lumbia that his wife died from
fright in consequence of Democratic
terrorism. The testimony Of her
physician is that she died from
pneumonia, No terrorism existed.
Mrs. Marshall was most estimablo
lady, and in her last illness received
tho tondorcst caro- from the families
of the very gentlemen whom her
husband charges with terrorism.
If her death was from other than a
physical cause it was due to tho
political course he p,,rsuod and not
to "terrorism." We would not
allude to domestic griefs but for
the fact that S1r. Marshall has made
them public.

that the disaster was caused by the

the time. In support of his theory

signal service, showing that at the
time of the accident q gale was blow
