Tho President renominated to-day for
the position Of Surveyor General Of Louis
lana o. III. Brewster, the Ineligible Hayes
elector OF that State. Brewster testified be-
fore tue congressional committee in New
Orleans, on Saturday last, that he did not
resign the office OF gSurveyor-General OF
Louisiana until after the election, yet his
resignation was accepted to date November
4, three days before the election. It seems
astonishing, even in the light OF past eX-
perience, that the President would consent
to be party to such q bold fraud as this.
1T Is stated that Brewster would not have
resigned Mt all but for the assurance that he
would be reappointed. The Administra-
ton was thus compelled to make terms with
him, or his ineigibility would have deprived
Hayes Of one vote Of the 1856 which are SO
audaciously claimed for him. The Brewster
jncident is no worse than dozens OF other
transactions which were found to be neces:
sary to count up Hayes 1856 votes.-Specsal

..r JUDGE CARPENTERS CONSULTATIONS.
Judge Carpenter, Of South Carolina, says
that.he does not intend to be in hurry to
decide the contesting claims Of Hampton
and Chamberlain TO the gubernatorial office
in South Carolina. He says he is spending
time here to consult legal authorities which
are not available in South Carolina. One
of the authorities whom he seems to be con-
sulting very frequently Is the Attorney
General, whom no doubt Chamberlain
would look upon as safe guide. Judge
Carpenter is the South Carolina Judge who
last summer, In the public saloons Of Wash
ington, denounced Governor Chamberlain
In the most opprobrious terms.-l6.
WEST VIRGINIA sENAroEsHIP.
The senatorial election in West Virginia
takes place tomorrow week. More than
usual interest attaches to the election on
account of the fact that two senator's are to
be chosen. Senator Davis, who has been at
Wheeling, returned to Washington this
morning, but will leave again for Wheeling
tomorrow. The impression is that he will
be reelected. It Is understood that nearly
two thirds Of the members OF the Legisla-
ture are for him. The question OF the re-
moval OF the State capital may, however,
have the effect to complicate the senatorial
question, and in some respects work to the
disadvantage Of Senator Dayis.-Ib.

BURCHARD AND SEELYE.
WASHINGTON, January 15.-Representa-
tive Burchard, OF the select committee on
the powers and privileges OF the House in
connection with the electoral count, has
prepared minority report in behalf OF
himself and Professor Seelye, which will be
submitted tomorrow or Wednesday. The
main point of the report will be that, in the
absence OF all legislation or authoritative
direction from the, Senate and House, it is
the clear and bouden duty OF the president
OF the Senate to count the vote. The mi
nority maintain that evidence is overwhelm-
TT hot tell fn1
merely as clerks up to the time OF the cleo
ton OF Andrew jackson, the president Of
the Senate up to that time always stating in
his certificate that he had himself opened
and counted the votes.-I6.
