SOUTH CAROLINA ELECTIONs.-Th
South Carolina elections of last fal
and the election system of the state
were considered today by the house
committee on the election of presi
cent and vice president, says Wash
iugton dispatch of Thursday, to the
New York World.
A memorial signed by white busines:
men of Charleston was read. 1t as
serted that South Carolina was without
a Republican form of government ano
under a military despotism, and
charged that the election law exempt
ing former Confederate soldiers from
payment of poll taxes was in violation
of the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments to the constitution.
Representative Wilson, of South
Carolina, said that under decisions Of
the supreme court, congress could in
tervene only in case dual governments
existed and congress was called upor
to decide which was the lawful one
or in case violence ruled the state anc
no Republican form Of government was
maintained there.
Mr.. Murray, who introduced the
resolution for an investigation, con
tended that the allegation of the me
mortal that a Republican form of gov
ernment did not exist warranted con
gressional action. There were in South
Carolina he said, 100000 white anc
132, 900 colored men of voting age, ye
1000 whites and 10000 colored mer
were able to register under the new
law.
General Curtis, chairman of the
committee, expressed the opinion tha
the only action which could be taker
by congress would be on contested
elections in the house.
Former Congressman Small (color
ed), of South Carolina, contended tina
the constitution of South Carolina wa
invalid because members Of the con
stitutional convention had not takel
an oath.
