m The Whole Legislature to Bo Murdered. should mack or dk skated ? Columbia, S. C,, May 6.?I have just been placed iu possession of information which may be interesting to the House Joint Committee, who are considering the claims of ttie members of Mackey's bogus House to seats in the Houso of UepreseutatWes. It will bo remembered, p? . that while the 8tatebouse was occupied by the ritembers of the Houso and by the Alackey crew, supported by the Federal troops and Chamberlain's constabulary, there was considerable talk, griL;. about the use of force to expel the legal inenthreats Oe^HdwSla^aiad the metaibers o7u?e Houee hehially left the place ift order tpavoid a collision. The. trus inwardness of tbb' plot lias just been disclosed to me by a member of the HotlSe, who bore a prominent part in the Mackey farce,-and from, him I have learned of the existence of the most murderous and diabolical conspiracy that has dver existed in the Palmetto slate. My informant, whose naiuo 1 am compolled lo withhold for the present, states that an agroeotent was entMftl into between Mackey and Chamberlain te secure the murder of all, or at least of moat, of tl\a^members of the House, and at the same fihte to secure their own precious hides, and those of their ignorant forfbwera, from harm. TUE l'LAJt OV THE MUUDKB. Mackoy was to write a formal oommunieation to Chamberlain, stating that the basinoes of the House of Representatives was being delayed by the presence of a number of tirrfiulont porsobs, and requesting him to have thonrremnved. Of course he referred to tho tnembeds of the legal House. Chamberlain, upon, the reoeipt of this communication, was to organise a constab. ulnry force ef about oflb hundred and fiftjr men, well tinned, and these were to bo entrusted with the duty of removiug the legal members by killing thtm. The conspiracy was carried out to tho extent of tho writing of tlio letter by Mackey and the organisation of tho constabulary. Oae hundred and fifty of these cut-threats were collected together, armed with ' Winchester rifles, and were secreted in the ways and means committee room on tbo first floor of the State House. THE RINOLBADERS. These were commanded by John B. Dennis and the notorious negro, Whippcr, who were intrusted with tho duty of superintending the job of murdering the members of tho House. The plnn was arranged as follows : Mackey and his crowd, in order to save their carcasses, were to retiro frora tho halt and seek shelter in the Adjutant and Inspector-General's office, which had been barrioaded and prepared for the purpose. As aoou as I hey had got out of the way, Dennis and Whipper, with their fellow cutthronts, were to go into the hall and bring on a difficulty with the members by attempting to oust thein. They would be resisted, of course, and wouldatj ?_? - ' once ?pen fire and kill the whole crowd."* Ylffnlr meantime, the Federal troops were to bo in read iness to como to their assistance, (as of course they would have to interfere in case of disturbance) but things was so arranged thnt the job would be oompleted before they arrived, and the Statehouse had been put in a position to be defended against an outside attack. Mackcy hoped, by this plan, to get rid of the legal House of Represents lives and t^liave himself reoognized as Speak- .e and Chamberlain as Governor. My informant adds that ilio only reason the members escaped was through tho foresight of Spoaker Wallace, who, on the day upon which the murder was to have taken place, instructed the members of the House to withdraw. Had t'.iey not dono so, not a man of thorn would have been left to tell the tale. 1 am not at liberty as yet to reveal the name of my informant, but when the proper steps are taken to ferret out the matter, I think 1 can produce witnesses who were cognizant of the entire plot.?Videttk, in Journal of Commerce. Speakru Wai.lack.?It was "a happy inspiration that led to tho selection of General W. II. Wallace as the presiding officer of the House of K* RejTCHentatives. A m?? anoomplished genileman or more impartial officer could not have been selected. General Wallace was born in Laurens County in 1829, and was the son of Mi\jor-Gencral Daniel Wallaco, who represented the Fourth Congtossional District of tho State in Congress foi throe terms, having been first elected in 1848. The Elder Wallace was a cotouiporary of General Quitman, and was one of the most prominent Southern men in Washington. Ho was noted for his firmness of character and integrity of purpose, and wielded an influence in tho councils of the nation which made itself felt in the administration, and which was always exercised for the honor and welfare of his native State. Speaker Wnllaco is a graduate of the South pA.A1t..a j... Ar io<n IA.. VMIUIIIIU \;U1IC^V, yjl IIIC UIK99 WI AOtV. AHQr leaving College he spent several years of his life in agricultural pursuits; but in I860, after a course of careful study, applied and was admitted to the bar. In 186(f he was elected to represent Union District in the Legislature, but upon the breaking out of the war, entered the army and served throughout the four longyears of the deadly struggle. He was sent to the Legislature from Union County in 1872, and hQ I - served in that body ever since. lie brings to the chair all the culture and grace of a refiaed gentleman, and the experience and knowledge acquired by bis long service in tho lower House. In his rulings he knows no party, no politics; lie does his duty simply and earnestly, but firmly, fcaridg no man and favoring no friend.? "'/Journal of Commerce. jmt ' County Auditors and Treasurers. Among the important bills acted upon in the House of Representatives yesterday was one to regulate the compensation of County Treasurers ' and Auditors, which was passed to a third reading. This bill allows commissions to County Treasurers as follows: Three per cent, upon the first $10,000, two per cent, upon the next $10,000; and one-half of one per cent, on all amounts over $80,000, provided tho same shall not exceed $800 or less than $500 per annum, oxcopt Charleston, where commissions shall not .exceed $'2,000. Tjie '.salaries of the County Lfe, : Auditors are as follows : r ' Charleston, $2,000; Abbeville and Richland, $800 each; Aiken, Anderson, Barnwell, Beau fort, Chester, Colleton, Darlington, Kdjgefield, Faitfield, Greenville, Laurens, Marion, 'Newberry, Orangeburg, Spartanburg, Sumter and York, $700 each; Chesterfield, Clarendon, Georgetown, Horry, Kershaw, LancMter, Lexington, Marl loro, uconee, rickens, union ana wnmnjsonrg, $*(X) each. 0 Tbn compensation allowed by this bill gives evidence that the era of retrenchment -has arrived. - It is in striking contrast with the axtravngant salaries allowed under Radical rule. ?Columbia Register, 6M imt. - Disobiintlsd Republicans.-^New York, May 2,?Tho Rochester Chronicle, the leading Republican organ in Western Now York, says : "We are in receipt of numerous let tors from Republicans in regard te the Southern policy yt the President, and wears frank,to dfcy that neither in conversation nor in correspondence have we fonnd, throughout this section ef the 8tate, any universal commendation of that policy.
