CHARLESTON, W. Va, Jan. 3l.-This
lay has been Il day Of dark doings in
Charleston. When / get ready, shall
write its history. This day Of black
ness began at midnight last night, and
is not yet ended. Men high in the party
councils Of the Democracy planned the
work. Men low iu principle have
sought to execute it. While the speak
ers were pleading before the Joint AS
sembly for men OF conscience to unite
and seat Judge Fleming, the ministers Of
evil were elsewhere engaged in work OF
which more is expected. They have ac-
complisled all they Set out to do. At this
midnight liour, they are not sure. that
they have not stretched the chords 30 far
that the bow may snap. The work OF
to-day displays more than the ordinary
desperation Of politicians. 1t tells
palmer than words could tell that in the
opinion OF the Democratic managers a
square vote would be the doom of all
their hopes. My confidence in Judge
Fleming's triumph ia shaken for the
first time by this days doings. The
managers feel better tonight than they
did last night, aud they have less reason
now than they had then to expect sue.

thought them panic stricken without
sufficient reason. Tonight I know they
are more confident, aud I know they
have less reason to be. With this i'm

responsibility may be laid on them.
