THE APPEAL TO CONGRESS. si :? i FULL TEXT OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA MEMORIAL. Congress is asked by Qovernor Hampton and the other State officers to confer upon the Palmetto State a Republican form of Government. The following is the full text of the memorial to Congress, presented by Senator Gordon, in the United States Senate : To the Senate and House of Representatives of the Congress of the United States of America: The memorial of Wade Hampton, Governor ; of William D. Simpson, Lieu tenant-Go vl eruor of the State of South Carolina; of the House of Represeutatives and of the undersigned, senators of the General Assembly of the said State, respectfully sboweth to your honorable bodies that at a genenl election, held in the said State on the 7tb otNovember ultimo, they were duly elected to the offices aforesaid which they now respectively hold; that under the constitution and laws of this State the votes are counted publicly, immediately upon the closiug of the polls by toe precinct managers, who then and there make statements of the result, forward the same to the board of county canvassers, who from these statements make the proper county statements, and forward these last statements, along with \ the precinct managers' returns, the poll lists, | and all papers appertaining to the election, to the board of State canvassers, who make the proper statements and determinations, declaring duly elected the persons who have received the greatest number of votes, whereupon copies of such statements and determinations are furnished to such persons. This is applicable to all elections except those for Governor and Lieutenant-Governor, in which case - the returns are sealed up in the respective counties and transmitted to the ? Secretary of t State, who is to deliver them to the Speaker of the House of Representatives at the next ensuing session of the General Assembly; and during the first week of the session, or as soon as the Geueral Assembly shall have organized by the election of the presiding officers of the * I- ? Cnoutui. ultull nnon J nrl mi h IWU UUU3W, kUO ^?ivv. v^v.. | lish them in the presence of both bouses, and the persons haviug the highest number of votes shall be Governor. The board of State canvassers has jurisdiction by statute to decide all cases under protest or contest that may arise when the power to do so does not by the Constitution reside in some other body. By the Constitution this power as to the elections for Governer and Lieutenant-Governor resides in the General Assembly, and as to elections for members of the General Assembly resides in the respective branches thereof. WHAT THE BOARD OF CANVASSERS DID. The members of the board of State canvassers who sat in the matter of the election held on the 7th of November ultimo were: H. E Hayne, chairman of the board, secretary of State; F. L. Cardoso, State treasurer; T. C. Dunn, comptroller; Gen. VV. H. Purvis, adjutant and inspector general, and Win. Stone, attorney-geueral, of whom Hayne, Cardozo * and Dunn were candidates for re election. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Constitution making each house the judge of the election returns and qualification of its members, and the fact that three of the members of the board were candidates for re election, and voted for on one and the same general ticket, the board determined to consider the returns of the elections of members of the General Assembly in connection with protests and contests ; that the Secretary of State, the State treasurer aud comptroller-general had the * - - - t j J-. : 11 ngni to uear auu ueienuiuo an ijuranuuo ?nuing before them in regard to the election of these three officers, except that no one of said officers should vote upon his own election. Such being the determination of the board avowed and made of record, and the Constitution inhibiting persons exercising the functions of the Executive Departments?and all the members of the board were members of &nd-?*ereieing 4he functions of the Executive department?from assuming or discharging the duties of the judicial department necessarily exercised and involved in deciding cases of protest and contest, R. M. Sims and certain other persons, as candidates and citizens, ap plied to the Supreme Court of the State, in the exercise of its original jurisdiction, on ^ November 14,1876, for a writ of prohibition .to restrain the board from exercising any judicial functions in regard to protests and contests, and from doing anything else than ascertaining from the managers' returns and the statements forwarded by the boards of county canvassers the persons who had received the greatest number of votes, declaring and certifying the same to the secretary of State, and also for a writ of mandamus to compel the said board to make such ascertainment, declaration and certificate. Immediately upon notice being given that these writs would be prayed for, the board avowed, published and made of record its determination to take no further action until the question of their powers and duties was determined by the Supreme Court. The Court in each of these proceedings granted a rule to show cause why these writs should not issue, aod continued, in the presence of the board and their counsel, the rule to show cause in the matter of the prohition as an order restraining the board from doing anything sought by the proceedings to be prohibited until the determination of the proceedings. THE ORDER OF THE COURT. Under an order of the court in these proceedings, the board certified to what persons hud received the greatest number of votes at _ said election for all of the officers except ^ Governor and Lieutenant-Governor, includi iug one Senator and five Representatives from the county of Edgefield and one Senator and three Representatives from the county of i Laurens; and subsequently, on the 22nd of t November, an order was made by the court, in the presence of one of the board and its counsel, for a writ of mandamus to issue the order requiring them to perform (in regard to the persons certified to the court by the board to have received the greatest number of votes for members of the Geueral Assembly) the duties enjoined by the statute, naming them specifically, and requiring return forthwith to said court the execution of said writ. The writ was issued and served ou the same day on all the members of the board, except that one who had been present in court when th6 order was granted, and upon him it was served on the following day. No return or attempt at return of the exertf ?bo writ bavincr h*en made hv the VUVIVII VI ?MV ?? ? ?? ' ?Q ? , said board or any of its members, and after due notice and gracious delay on the part of the court, the board, notwithstanding the protests and even entreaties of the court, continuing doggedly and perversely pertinacious in their disobedience to the mandate of the r court, and canvassing the returns of the elec- j tion, excluding the two counties of Edgefield j and Laurens, where the ticket upon which the members of said board were running for office j was largely defeated, when there is no line or | letter of law, either constitutional or statute, j which confers upou said board the shadow of authority to so exclude a county from the canvass of the returns or the statement of the final result, each member of the board was adjudged guilty of contempt, fined, and ordered to confinement in the jail of Richland county until released by order of the Supreme Court. FEDERAL INTERFERENCE. On the following Monday, November 27,} Judge Bond, of the Circuit Court of the United States for the District of South Carolina, had the members of the board brought before him on a writ of habeas corpus, taken from the custody of the sheriff of Richland county, on December 1, 1876, filed his decision setting them at liberty, and your memorialists submit that this action of Judge Bond I was without jurisdiction, illegal, unwarranted and subversive not only of all established principles of law on the subject of every decision made by the Supreme Court of the United States in regard to such cases, of all the boundary lines as to the jurisdiction of the courts.

Grateful for the confidence reposed in me. 11 shall not relax an effort in my endeavors to prove that it has not been misplaced. A NEW BIRTH AT THE YORK DRUG STORE. As heretofore advertised, for the present year, I will adhere strictly to the cash system. I know my sensible and level-headed friends, (and I don't think I have any other kind) will agree with me that this is the only true system upon which to do any kind of business. It is better for the consumer, because he will save at least twenty-five per cent, on his bills in discounts, and the absence of unnecessary purchases made under the other system. It is better for the merchant, because it cr'ives him all the time the use of his money, either in goods on his shelves or cash at his command. The credit system makes a time-begging, fawning dependent, the prev of the Lawyers, the Courts, and the Sheriff, out of many a nobleminded fellow ; while the cash system developes an individuality and independence thatcommands the respect of all classes. FINIS. Those indebted to me must make payment at once. There will be no waiting where the thing oan be forced. JOHN C. KUYKENDAL. HARRIS' FERTILIZER. PERSONS who propose using Harris' Fertilizer, another season, will please leave their orders with me. I guarantee to furnish the ingredients at as low figures as thev can be had anywhere. JOHN C.
