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

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.?

' 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.

Sadowa, and Russia is not now, ns in 1870, abh

former campaigns. The officers would shortly
