Formal Observation of Mr. Kerr's Death Mr. Orson's Contumacy'- Contuma cy Eliza Pinkston's Reliability as a Witness The Prostrate Condition of Justice in South Carolina Sentiment of the Rank and File of the Army. Washington. D. C, Dec. 18, 1876. The Senate did net meet on Satur day, but tlicro was a short session of iho House, the especial order of the day being the formal observation of the death of the late Speaker, Mr. Kerr. The utiual addresses were de livered, Messrs. Hamilton, Haymond, Holman and Carr of Indiana, Clymer and Kelly ol Pennsylvania, Monroe and Vance of Ohio, Burohard of Illi nois, Cox of New York, MoCrary of Iowa, Atkins of Tennessee, and Here ford of West Virginia, participating. Previous to this, however, the Speak er laid before the House a telegram from Mr. Morrison, chairman of the special committee sent to Louisiana to investigate the recent election there, accompanied by one from Mr. Orton, President of the Western Union Tel egraph Company, refusing to produce cortain telegrams which passed over the lines of that company, just prior to the election, and others sent to the Returning Boards at New Orleans. Mr. Morrison asked tho aid of the House to compel the production of the telegrams; Mr. Hoar, of Massa chusetts, objeoted to tho telegrams being laid before the House, which occasioned some discussion between the Speaker and himsull in which oth er members joined and whioh was finally ended by Mr. Hoar saying that upon reflection he bolioved the Speak er was right in his decision. Tho tel egrams were referred to the Judiciary Committee with instructions to report what steps were necessary to be taken by the House to support its authority. To the surprise ol many, it is said, Mr. Hewitt will opposo the employ ment of force to compel Mr. Orton to produce the dispatches, saying that while he is willing that all the dupli- plicates he has sent or caused to bo sent during tho campaign, as Chair man of the Domocratio National Com mittee may bo freely examined, ho is opposed upon principle to the use of tho power of the House in this behalf. Now, as Mr. Hewitt is willing to let his dispatches bo made public, Mr. Chandler certainly ought not to ob ject to having his examined, iiut, judging from Mr. Orton's action in the matter, there are matters in those dispatches which the gay and festive Zachariah would rather not have dis closed. A special dispatch to the Baltimore Gazette from New Orleans, dated Sat urday last, in speaking ot the frauds perpetrated by and before the Return ing Board, says : " Eliza Pinkston, the woman whose sensational story has been spread far and wide by the Re publican press, has admitted to the Justice of the Peace before whom her case against Lyons and Phillips is be ing triod, that she had been taught her story by persons in tho Custom House, but she declared she did not know their names." A private leltor received in this city discloses a sad state of affairs in Charleston, Sonth Carolina. The wri ter, a lady, says that- while walking on the streets, she accidentally trod on the trail of a negro woman, and while in the act ot apologizing, was severely slapped in the face ; and that whilo two young ladies were walking early in the afternoon upon the prin cipal street, one of them was seized by a burly negro, and yet neither of these offenders could be properly punished for fear of producing a riot. I am inclined to think that had they occurred in New York or Boston, or even in Philadelphia, no fear of riot or other consequences wonld have prevented the Immediate punishment of the offenders. Troops continue to arrive here every day or two. Com pany G, Second Artillery, fifty-two strong, arrived here on Saturday night last; no one seems to know for jvbat purpose they are being brought here, and the soldiers themselves are more in the dark than any one tle. As this company was passing through Baltimore, and while waitirg for the uaiii mi the Camden street station, a I reporter of the GazctU got into con versation with one ot the men who aid the men generally, from what thoy could hear, believed Tildon was elected, and while it was a eoldior's business to keep out ol politics, they wanted to see tho people's choice in augurated. When asked by tho re porter, " Supposo the troops are or dered to scat Hayes ?" tho Boldier re plied : " We didn't enlist lor that kind of work. Wo'vo boen used for somo pretty mean service, and Idou't think they'll put us to that; and iurthor I don't think tho people will allow us Uo intimidate them if we aro forced to try it on." I can only say that from any stand point I fail to see any pros pect oi bicu a ining Doing aiierapieu. Dkm, THE OHEUON CASE. Washington. Deo. 80. The Senato committeo on privileges and elections, commenced taking testimony to day in the Oregon caso. Chadwick, See' retary of tho State of Oregou, testifi ed that tho first intimation ho had of Walts being postmaster was after the election last November. Witness can vassed tho vote of tho Smto in the manner prescribed by law. Nothing was said that day about Watts being ineligible ; did not prepare the lists ot electors voted for with the vote oi eaoh sttached and under seal of the Stale. The Governor prepared the lists after lookiug ovor the law ou that subject, as he aud witness in conver sation agroed to comply with the acts of Congress and statutes of Oregon as nearly as possible in tho matter; said Cronin received tho highest nu la bor ot votes for eleotor ou tho Dem ocrats ticket. 1 lio law ot Urcgon requires, me to canvass tho vole in tho presence of tho Governor and other Stato officers. On tho day fol lowing the canvass iho point as to whether tho Governor had a right to appoint Cronin in place of Watte as elector was raised, as Watts was post master on the day of tho November election, and said to be ineligible. 1 here was a hearing on this subject before the Governor, and a protest was made from Odell against Groom's appointment. On the oth uist, a Mr. llodgkins came to me ana i gave mm cortiHed lists of the electors voted for, with the vota ot each attachod. O.i iho day that the electoral oollcgo met I went at 11 o'clock to the room ot their meeting, and handed the certifi cates to Cronin, who camo to iho door when I knocked. I think that all the Republican and Domocratio electors were in the room at the timo. W. II. Odell was next called and testified that on the day of tho moot ing of the electoral college ho went with Cartwrisjht and Wntta to the Secretory of State to procure the cer tificates of election; was referred to the Governor, who slatod that at 12 o'clock the certificates would bo giv en the electors in the room of their meeting. At the time specified the Secretary of State handod an envel- ope through the door to ;ronm, wno ... j-. . stoou near u at tne nine, iruuiu took the paper from tho envelope and read that part ot it which certified that Lartwnght, UUell ana uronin were eligible, and bad been elected Presidential electors. Cartwright went towards Cronin, when Cronin returned the paper to the envelope and put it in his coat pocket. Upou beinn requesiea oy wiiucm anu arv 11 ,1 1 A wright to read the paporthrough, he ret used. Ho also declined to give up the certificates ot the other electors. The College was organized, witness chosen chairman and Cartwright sec retary. As chairman of the college, witness asked Cronin to produce the certificates of the electors for the guidance of ihe college. He declined, Watts then read bis resignation as an elector, and it was accepted. Cronin then said : "You refuse to recognize me?" Witness replied: "o sir. but wo want the certificates. You must not think that we will oot act with you, and you must novcr go from here aud say we would not act with jou." Cronin then left tho part of the room where the college was sitting, and the college proceeded to cast the vole, Watts bein elected to fill the vacancy in the electoral college alter his own resignation. Witness beard ot no purpose to arrest any one on the dty the electoral college met, Saw no armed men but have since heard that there were twenty in the room near which the college met.

Lew Wallace are at TaIUbaee A Quiet Election. Commenting upon the Presidential election, in Louisiana, the New Or leans Deutsche Zeitung Bays : "We never bad a more quiot and orderly eloolion. The Radicals had prudently abandoned in the last hour their bluff game, and instead of pre venting lrotn voting eight thousand conservative citizons, thoy reduced the number to three thousand. In all polling places, the Domocratio voters wero en masse refused on insigninoant grounds. They were sont from Pon tius to 1 Mate, and nowhere could thoy obtain help against this tyranny ot the Supervisors. In the middle ot tho day it was made known that Goneral Augur, Commander of tho Military Department of tho Gulf, had declared, that when the Radicals 'should stretoh tho sinews of tho bow too tight,' and in case somo trouble should result therefrom, then he would not intorlere then tho Radicals were more moder ate in their pretensions, but it can be said with certainty that still three thousand Domocratio votors wore swindled out ot thoir right, whilst the number of tho importod negroest, who were fraudulently registered, anioiintod to five or six thousand. The most oi the so-swindled white voters made nflldavits. accompanied with their tickets, nnd theso atlldayitos will be used lor later purposes." TUB VOTK OP FLOIIIDA. The State ladlsputably for Tlldeu- What nr. JTIaiitsu Marble Says. To TUB ElHTOlt OP TUB SUN 5lJV riio minutes of tho Florida State Board of canvassers, published Deo. 13 ; tho letters ot Gen. F. C. Barlow, published Deo. 15 and Deo. 17 ; and tho letter of C. A. Cowcill, ono of the board, to Gen. Barlow, publishod in tho Tunes of Deo. 15, takeu togothor, handsomely invalidato the pretenoe that Florida cast her votes for the Hayes electors. 1. Gen. Barlow demonstrates that, if the Canvassing Board had tho wide powers they claimed and exorcised, powers which unbroken usago and the law, in every other Stulo in tho Union excent Louisiana, confer upon judicial tribunals only, even then a just nnd scrupulous exeroiso of those powers results in nnding a majority for the Tilden electors. 2. Tho minutes of tho Canvassing Board demonstrates that the county returns upon their lace show a ma jority for llie Tilden electors. i ho candor nnd the courage oi won. Barlow in reaching and avowing a judgment so adverse io mo wisnes ue shared with lus party will comraauu tho respect they deserve. For ray own part I have been very sensible ot tho dilliculty of preserving a ju dicial attitude ol mind in tho circum stances, and can appreciat e Gen. Bar low's success tho more that ho hag not to divide its honors with any other iBtinirumhod Republican visiting Louisiana, South Carolina or Florida, to "witness a fair count." It is now established by the min utes of the Canvassing Board, which its two Konulilican members nave since published, not merely that tho county returns, upon their face, show a clear mojority for the Tilden elec tors, but that those two members are themselves the witnesses that the board must have declared a majority for the Tildon electors had it kept within the strict and proper limits of its powers. Mantox UUuulk. Postmasters Ineligible. In February, 1837, the question of the ineligibility of postmasters to act as electors, camo up in Congress, and was thoroughly investigated by a committee. Felix Grundy, of Ten nessee, one of the ablest statesmen f that day, wrote the report of the committecfroin which we extract the following : The committee are of the opinion that the second section of tho second article of the constitution, which de clares that "no Senator or Itepresen- tative, or persons holding an omce oi at ask trust or nroni under mo unueu States, shall be appointed an elector," ought to be carried in its wnole spirit into rigid execution in order to pre vpnt officer of the General Govern ment from brin'mcr their official n - power to influence the elections of President and Vice President of the United States. This provision of the constitution, it is believed, excludes Und disqualifies deputy postmasters irom in a anoointmenv oi tieuiura. and the disqualifications relate to tho tima nf thn srinnintmpnt. and that a resignation of the office of deputy postmaster after his appoint ment as elector would not entitle mm to vote as elector nnder the constt tution. Tbe Western Coioo Telegraph Company now say political dispatches were d-troyed befora tba demand for thera was Blade, and it eonst-naentlr will ba ImDossible to COmDiv with tbe House's orders. Hayes and the South. Washington, Dec. 18. Tho most often repeated nnd widely circulated f olitical sensation has bcon that Gov. laves received overtures from South crn Democrnts, wherein they promise him their support in return for tho control of the affairs and the patron age of tho South. This has assumed at times such specific nnd definite shape as to warrant tho most careful Iho result ot numer ous interviews with leading public Southern men shows, in' tho first place, that it is true that overtures havo been made to Mr. Hayes by persons who gavo him to understand that they represented tho South, but it is not a fact that any man or set of men of any prominence iu tho South havo given ear or support to any such scheme. There is a set oi plot ters in tho South who seek personal ends alone, and. they are the class who havo mado representations to Mr. Hayes that the South was ready . to support him on condition that ho iu return would give them certain guarantees. Said a woll known boutnern gen tleman, this evening, a member of tho House. "Anv storr of tho South rro- ing ovor to Hayes to Biipport him it absurd, for many good reasons. In tho first place, there is no one man nor set of men in the South who can transfer its influenco to Hayes if they so desired. In tho Rccond place, what mlliienco is thero in tho b outli or in tho North that can bo trans ferred to tho aid of Hayes that would help him in his attempt to secure tho Presidential chair r In tho third place, Mr. Hayes is not able, nor could ho by any possible combination of cir cumstances bo placed in a position wbero ho could give tho Soiuii any guaranteo of anything in return for which it might do. Mr. Hayes is a mere dummy, and is so regarded throughout tho South. If ho sue oeeda m his Presidential aspirations ho will bo run by the samu class ot men that now surround uraiit. Through their aid alone will ho ac complish, if ovor, succcs; to them ho will owe everything, bo mat any talk of a division in tho Domocratio party upon tho subject of Hayes is all absurd nonsense."
