INGTON. WASHT :OTON, November 28.-Hon. F?McMul? len to-day presentad a petition from the ci ti sens of Virginia, to Genaro! Grant, against the extension of tho Stay Laws beyond January 1, 1869. Grant expressed himself ?favorably, but de? sired to consult Schofield before acting. Stonemau, it is understood, opposes a fur? ther extension, and advises those who cannot pay their debts to take the benefit of tho bank? rupt law and start afresh. Grant's petitioners represent that a farther extension of the Stay laws involves the credit of the State, and will prevent the payment of the interest on the State debt. The State Department urges travellers, in view of the disturbed condition of f ireign countries, to carry passports. They cost five dollars, and are only given to citizens. Import duties fi om the 16th to the 21st inst, are two and a quarter million. Grant wilt attend the wedding of Maj. Berry to the dar guter of Governor Fish on Decem? ber 8t b. and on the same evening a reception by Mrs. Marshall A. Roberts, given in honor of ! the President elect. It is stated tbat at those two reunions, the President elect will see the "Creme de la creme" of Gotham society. The following paragraph, in the Herald's version of General Rousseau's report, does not appear in the copy at Grant's headquarters : "Of this stripe were some of the members of the Republican Cimpaign Committee. In a consultation at my headquarters, at which Dr. South worth, a controlling member of that committee, took part, al which consultation I myself was not present, bnt one of my staff officers was, it was contended by some of the Republicans present that the negroes should be advised not to go to the polls-the idea being that if they did go they would be slaughtered. Southworth replied that his com? mittee would advise the negroes to vote, add? ing : 'Let them be slaughtered; the more there are killed the better it will be for our party.' This spirit, I am sorry to say, but too often controls the action and conduct of many who assume to act in tho name and for the interest of the Government of the United States, and who use "the cloak of loyalty as a cover for their mis? deeds. I havofound that men of this descrip? tion, though willing to see the blood of others shed at a distance, conceal themselves, with marvellous alacrity and skill, at the approach of any real or fancied danger. Southworth, who wanted the negroes slaughtered at thc polls, is a shining example of this kind, and was actually in biding at my headquarters at th? time he made tho remark I have quoted.'' The Herald publishes the following special: '?In conversation a few days ago, General Giant expressed his impression that the result bl the late election had quieted down tho state of feeling throughout the country-had pro? duced a condition of sober and contented ac? quiescence in the declared will of the majority, and that an improved tone in the political as well as in other relations of life will soon be made manifest. When he mode use of the ex? pression 'let ns have peace,' he sincerely meant it, and he apprehended no trouble in any sec? tion of the country under his administration, while at tbe same time the rights of all classes and of all communities shall be protected and preserved. Referring to the Fourteenth Amend? ment, he said Kentucky and Maryland would suffer a loes of representation after the next census if they refuse to allow negro suffrage in accordance with the provisions of that amend? ment. It will be a bitter pill to them, observ? ed the General, laughing, but they will have to stand it." The Metropolitan Police Board has reported unfavorably on over one hundred applications to retail liquor. The organization of the Sons of Temperance, by resolutions, urge the board to stand firm, while those disappointed in securing licences threaten to join opposition in securing prohibitory laws by Congress.

Banditti in Arkansas-Town Captured and Robbed-All the Inhabitants Ar? rested and put under Guard in a Field -Three Old Citizens Shot. MEMPHIS, November 29.-The Appeal's spe? cial from Arkansas says that on the 10th inst., a body of men, twa hundred strong, claiming to be military, entered the town of Centre Point, in Sevier County, arrested all the in? habitants, marched them into an open field, placed guard over them, and then proceeded to sack the towa, after accomplishing which they left. The next day the citizens of the adjoining country flooded into the town and a mass meeting was held to expresa the senti? ments of the people regarding the outrage. While the meeting was in progress, the same mon dashed into thc town and commenced an indiscriminate fire upon the assembly, shoot? ing a number of persons. They then arrest? ed three of thc oldest and best citizens, named Hest6r, An lerson and Gilbert, carried them to afield and shot them. The band 16 still in possession of the town.

The deceased was a distinguished physician and formerly a piofessor in tho Richmond Medical College. It is slited that tho debt statement will show a heavy increase-probably $11,000,000, . while tho currency in tho treasury continues rather low. General W. C. Wickham has been elected president of tho Chesapeake and Obi ) Rail? road. Sir John Young, the new Governor of the Canadian Dominion, has arrived at Ottawa. THE STATE CAPITAL. Proceedings of the Legislature -Veer lng of the Trustees of the South Ca? lina University-Governor's .Message -Senate Dilemma-Treasury Report. [SPECIAL C0BAE8PONDE3CE CHARLESTON DALLY J?EW8.J COLUMBIA, S. C., November 2G.-Tho Board of Trustees of the 8outh Carolina University met last night at NickerBon'a Hotel. Governor Scott, ex-officio president, was in the chair. On the rig& of the Governor sat ex-Governor Orr, Colonel T. C. Perrin, F. W. McMaster, Esq., Wm. F. DeSaussure, Esq., ex-Governor Man? ning, Dr. Smythe and Colonel Frierson; on the left sat Judge J. M. Rutland, Hon. D. T, Corbin, President pro tem of tho Sonate, Judge Willard, Ju 'ga H?ge, Judge Moses and R, Tomlinson, Esq. The various reports of thc Faculty, together with the report of the Libra? rian and Tr.-asuror, were received and rcferrod to a committee of dve to report at an adjourned meeting at seven /o'clock this coning. Pro? fessor H^sLMl's rc3ignat :cr? of thc law depart? ment was received and also referred with th3 other papers. There are now ten professors and fifty-eight students connected with the in? stitution. It is no* so prospere,": as might bs expected of a school offering superior advan? tages to any institution of the kind m the country. But this ia probably owing to tho political agitations in the State, and an appie hension that the action of the, present State Legislature would ba adverse lo tho Universi? ty. Tho feeling at the last session was to let. it take care of itself, and devote whatever appro? priations could be made for educational pur? poses to a common school fund for the estab? lishment of free schools throughout the State. It is thought, however, that a email appropria? tion of ten or twelve thousand dollars will be made for the maintenance of tho University another year. It is of the utmost importance that this, the highest institution of learning ia the State, should not be permitted to fall, es? pecially now ffhen it is receiving patronage fiona our sister State of North Carolina, whoso noble University at Chapel Hill has bcea closed. . The Senate is in something of a dilemma for a presiding officer. Major Corbin, who is acting as President pro fem., suggested yesterday that the Senate should elect a President outside of their body, as tho election of a member to pre? side wouldj under tho constitution, vacate his seat, and it was not perhaps desiraolc with the heavy amount of business beforo them to ro raov.- one of their working members. A reso? lution was thereupon offered by Mr. Hayna and agreed to fixing Wednesday for the considera? tion of the subject, and an election if it should be deemed advisable. Ex-Govcrnor Orr ia on a visit here to obtain some modifications or changes in the act regu? lating tho manner of drawing juries. Sinoc his arrival he has been visited by many of thc politicians of both parties anxious to converse with him on the subject of politics. The message of the Governor has boen lengthened beyond all expectation, and will cover, with the aceompanjiog documents, about fifty pages of printed matter. The Governor dwells at great length on secret political organi? zations, and cites numerous examples from history to show the dangers to be apprehended from such associations. The following is a statement of the monthly receipts and expenditures of the State Treas? ury since May 1st, 1868, to October 31st, 1868 : Cash balance on band May 1st, 186S.$ 93,516 26 Caeb receipts in May, 1868. 5i,:-:t6 20 Total. 1G1.892 46 Cash paid in May, 1868 . 37,833 00 Cash balance on hand June 1st, 1803 . 111,06916 Cash receipts in June, 18r8. 17,809 66 Total. 131,869 02 Cosb poid m June, 1868. 17,679 65 Cash balance on Land July 1st, 1868. 114,icu 37 Cash receipts in July. 11,218 49 Total. 1C5.408 80 Cash paid in July, 1868. 41.631 71 Cash balan?a on bond August 1st, 1868.... 113,777 15 Cash receipts m August. 17,162 37 Total.130,939 52 Cash poid in August 1st, 1868 . 58,620 81 Cash balance on hand Sep'ember 1st, 1808. 72,418 71 Cash receipts in september. 112.923 67 Total. 215.342 38 Cash l aid in Sept. mb-T. 210,416 03 Cash balance October 1st, 1868. 4 9-'6 35 Casb receipts in October, 188?. 64,367 28 69 293 63 Cash paid in October, 1SGC. 43.008 06 Balance on hand November 1st, 1868. 26,285 u7 The Legislative Committee, who havo ex .xmined the books of tho Treasurer and Comp? troller-General, award great credit to those cfiicers for the neat and accurate manner io which tho books and accounts of their depart? ments have been kept. The report of Mr. Leaphart, late Comptroller General, snowe! the State debtor to the amount of one million one hundred thousand dollars. The report ot the present comptroller general, after deducting the war debt, in ac? cordance with the provisions of the constitu? tion, makes the State a creditor to Ihe amount of :<$g7G,750 08. Governor Orr's messago, it w?l QB remembered, estimated the amount to bpraised by taxatiop, to meet the expenses of the State, at the enormous sum of one million and fifty-seven thousand dollars.

C. November 23, 1868.-Thc members of the General Assembly appear to have returned this session with a determina? tion to go to work in earnest. This soems to be the case more particularly with the House of Representatives. One of their most promi? nent members, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, says that he for one is anxious to get through as soon as possible. He desires to save tho treasury and at the same time to save himself, for it does not pay bini to sit here ac six dollars per day and mileage. It is conceded on all sides that there never has been as much work done in ono day, by the present Legislature, as was carried through yesterday. Tho calendar, which wa3 very heavy, was en? tirely cleared, but notwithstanding this, on a motion to adjourn over to Monday, the House refused by a very decided vote. lu the House to-day, DeLarge presented the accounts of Dr*. T. Orango Simons and S. L. Lockwood for post mortem examinations; aleo tbe accounts of Dr. W. APrait and Dr. S. B. Thompson for medicines, all of which were referred to the Committee on Claims. Banaler offered tho following, which was adopted : Resolved, That tho Committee on Education be, and they are hereby, instructed to take into consideration the condition of the South Carolina University, and to r< port cs soon as practicable what legislation may bo needed with reference thereto. Mr. Forriter presente! the petition of Daniel Keels, of Sumter, for tho removal of bis politi? cal disabilities; which was ?eferred to tho Com? mittee or Political Disabilities. On mction of George Leo, of Charleston, thc bill tc croate tho office of County Surveyor was taken up for ii second reading, but afterwards, on motion of Whipper, its further considera? tion was postponed, and the bill made tbe spe? cial ordor for December 12. at one P. M. A bill to establish the office of Prosecuting Attornoy, on motion of Smalls, was taken up for consideration. DeLargo moved to strike out all aflcr the enacting clause. Smalls moved an indefinite postponement of the motion to cirUte oz*. Ransier moved that thc motion to ind cfinilc ly postpono bo laid on the table. Quite a lengthy debato -jusued bet wee n Do Largo and Whipper on tho motion to strike out the enacting clause. DeLarge thought the office unnecessary, and only intended tc be established as a soft place for some friend of the author of tho bili. He looked only to the financial intores ts of tho State, and argued that the creation of such an office would entail heavy and uselo&s expense. Tho duty, he contended, was already perform? ed by the State solicitors. lu addition to this, it was an interference with the duty of magis t.atcs. Whipper, who introduced tho bill, replied at some length, repelling the charge that it was a bill gotten up foi- tho purpose of giving an y special friends a soft ? Jae3. To show the uc cessitv of such a measure, bc stabed he had visited tho jails in Charleston, Georgetown and Beaufort, and found scores of poor men confin? ed-for minor offences, and who were kept in jail simply be cause they had nobody to examine jnio their cases and dischaige them, when it could be dono with piont to the State. Many poor men were kept in jail at heavy expense to the State for dieting, when their cases should have been eximiued and the parties dis? charged. Tho quotion was taken on the motion to strike out tho enacting clanso. Whipper demanded the ayes and nays, which wero taken, aud resulted-yeas 65, naya 22 and the bill was therefore rejectod. Thc Houso then adjourned. ? ?.-ca>-.? ? HOTEL ARRIVALS--November 28 and 29. Cltarleslonllotcl-?. T. Brag-r. Brooklyn; Wal ter Muir, Philadelphia; Misses McLeod, Hiss Stew? art, P. P. Clark, Halifax.

THE FINDING. ^OFFICIALLY BEPOHTED FOB THE DAILY NEWS.] Tho Board met at ll A. M., pursuant to ad? journment. Present-The Mayor; Aldermen Geddings, Potter, Cunningham, Lindstrom, Voigt, De reef, McKinlay, Howard, Olney, Honour, Wbilden, Cade, Marshall, Moore and Wall-15 members. The journal of the previous day's session being read aud confirmed, Mr. C. R. Milos re? sumed tbe argument in reply for thc protes? tants. Mr. Miles slated that he would endeavor to condenso his remarks os muon as possible; at tho samo time feeling the imporlance and re? sponsibility of his position, be would not omit to say anything necessary to tho caso on ac? count of the consumption of time. He also would endeavor to follow the .example set him by the counsel on the other side, and endeavor to argue the case dispassionately. He theu proceeded with his argument, of which ibo following ure "the paints: Tho question tho board had to consider was as to tucir jurisdiction, and he proposed to consider, first, whence tho jurisdiction is de? rived; second, the exlontof their authority, and thc effect of their decision. He then cited the act of 1868, which, he said, gave them ju? risdiction. If, after the election has been de? clared, any elector undertakes to disputo the result, he docs it under tho act of 18G8, and under the unrepealed law of the State in refer? ence to elections, by application to the new board. But ho contended in case tho ehction of a majority of the candidates isdisputed.it ia evident tbere can be no now board to hear the case, aud in the ovent of the managers being charged with illegal conduct, the law don't mean that they shall sit m judgment upon themselves. In both cases, therefore, tho law declares that the Acting Board of Al? dermen shall investigate the ?case, and that was tho ground of their jurisdiction. The elec? tors who contested this election could not go to the new Board ot Aldermen, because their seats were contested. Nor could they go to the managers, because they are charged with such illegal conduct as vitistoB the election. The law, theroforo, directs them to so to tho acting board, because they occup / precisely the positi tn of the new board in case only the seats of a minority of them were contested. The present board, he said, held their scats by virtue of an act of the General Assembly, and coul 1 not bc ousted by any tribunal until their successors had been duly elected and qualified. Another answer to tho question of jurisdic? tion was that the paper of the claimants, read to tho board at the openin? of tho trial, was an acknowledgment of tho jurisdiction, and that tho plea to the jurisdiction carno too late. Second. Aa to the extent of their authority: Ho said, when they organized as an acting Board of Aldermen their powerd and duties were precisely similar lo thosa of the Board of Managers in thc case of the contesting of a singlo seat. Third. As to tho effect of thoir decision : Thc law says, whou they had done what the law had required of thom, they shall declare tbo election, and thoir decision shall bo bind? ing on ul) parties. It is similar to an arbitra? tion. Tho law makes thom tho arbitrators tho tribunal to decido this question-and tho eff -ct is the same. Counsel tuon alluded to thc distinction that had boen made between the words contest and protest. He contended that thero was no such woid as protest; that contest was the technical word, and the p iper was only called protest on tba endoiesment; contest means a dispute, protest a denial, and they aro synonymous when applied to elections. There was ?o dis tinctiou between tb?n\ Protest ia a remon j atranco, addressed to a Legislature by its con? stituents (Gushing, 435), and. in le islativo law, ?"oes not have any reference to elections. In the index of Bellinger's Compilation, tho nord protest does not occur. The technical word is always contest. A protest ii that by means of which you contest an election. Counsel cited A. A. 1808, Bollinger, 10G, A. A. 1838, Bellinger, 174, A. A. 1846, Bel.inger, 178, Bhowing that to contest an election means to dispute its validity, and that the duty of tho tribunal thal hears tho caso ia to say whether it is valid or invalid. He claimed that he roprcsented not Mr. Lo scsne or any of tho Aldermen on his ticket, but a number of citizens, corporators and electors of thc City of Charleston, and thoy, tho board, had a right, though tho petitioners abandon? ed their claims, to investigate. (Seo Gushing, 260. ) They therefore had a right to contoat ibo wholo election as illegal, and contended that they, the board, wero Mayor and Alder? men, because nobody had buuu chosen and were duly qualified to suc.:ecd then. This beiug tho case, tho queetiun to bc de? cided by tho board are : First. Has thero bean auy valid election held for Mayor and Aldermen of Charleston? Second. If there bas been a valid election, who has betti eleclod? Tho ticcrnd question is not embraced in tho argument, according to tho resolution of thc board. Tho question of the val? lily of tho election I bo contended was to be decided in two ways: L By the process of examining tho returns lOgotiier with too bail?la. 2. By huch other evidence as ahall be adduced by the investiga? tion or tho case. The board has aire:1 Ty geno through tho firjt process which tho taft requires. Tbu only wiiuessca thoy have oxtminod wer.? tho mana? gers, and this only willi n view to ena .lc them to examine tho hallo s and returns. If at this btage the board is satiefied that tho election is invalid thc> may so decide. But if the board is t-alisficd ?hat thorc wa* a valid election they must proceed to investigate tho caso and de? cide who his been elected. Counsel cited tho Tihn.in Watson case, Bellinger, p. 477, which, he contended, was a case precisely similar to tho one now beforo tho board, and that, tho board had tho same functions to perform as the ?Soi ito had tu that caso. Tho counsel on tho other sido, say tho beard have no right to say that this election is void, but mu.-t simply "declare the election." We conteud, aaid he, that you do "declare the election" when you declare it iilegul and void. Ho ihen proceeded to examine thc following grounds, upon which it was contended that the election was illegal and void. Beloro pro? ceeding, however, he contended that the act of 1868, providing for the next general election, did not touch the Municipal election, except that the same managers are charged with con? ducting it. Tho kw rcgu'ating thia election, he contended, was to bo found in the act of 1863, providing for the Municipal elections, and in the general election law of the State, which was not inconsistent with nor repealed by that law. The general election act of 1868 merely providod for "tho next general elec? tion, and the manner of conducting tho same." When the election was over it waa therefore deiunct, and dooi not apply to Municipal olec tiona. except that, as a matter of convenience, it took the same managers to conduct them. H? considered thc election invalid became it was not conducted in accordance with tho act of 1868. and tho unrepealed law of thia State, iu the following particulars: hirst. Thc Managers of Elections wore not qualified according to law. They were not sworn in the manner prescribed by law. The met o signing of names to a pap.-r was not Hwearing in the way the law required, bc causo it is verj doabifui whether a man could bo in? dicted tor perjury upou such a awoarnig. Aud the effort ol tho fact ihat some of thc mana? gers were not sworn under thc law vitiates the election. (Soo Appleb.vs case, Bellinger, 372, and Edgeficld casu, ibid, 40o). Second. Tho managers were never organized cccordiiig to law, i. c., as a board. There should havo been at least a majority of two thiids of them oiganizcd to count thc voles. Third. Registration, which the law pre? scribed asa qualification ot voters, was not mide in accordance with the law, because many voters were not sworn at registration, and no voter sigesd. that is, subscribed to tho oath prescribed bylaw. Tiie counsel for claimants contend that thc omission to roqairo the vote uid not invalidate the election, because tho oath was illegal. Mr. Miles contended, if the oath waa legal, tlc fail ure to administer it, admitted by the man vitiates tbe election. If it is unconstitn and illegal, the requiring it of voters ei vitiates the election. Both casos h apr therefore, so much the more is the el void. The Board, however, was to < whether the elec.ion was conducted in con ity to thc act, and they must presume th to he constitutional until the contrary is pi This was the answer they would make courthouse, but they preferred to meet ti gument tully. Mr. Miles then, after corni ing upon tho assertion at claimants' cc that the act was a legislative blunder, ase the proposition, that according to the la dictated by them, if one paragraph of th was illegal, and therefore void, the entir was void: therefore, any election held un was void. Fourth. The conduct of the election wu in accordance with the law. First. At so: the precincts it is abundantly proved th: poll lists were kept, and not only the i pealed law, but tho Gencrvl Election 1 1868 requires it. It is fatal. (See Belli: 356.) Second. Managers allowed, in i metances, unauthorized persons to assi conducting the election, as is also abund proved. Third. The election for Ward : was held in Ward No. 6, out of tho limits c ward. Thc act of 1808 expressly provides each ward in the city shall constitute at ono polling precinct. It makes no diffei whether tho precinct was only across street, or a hundred miles away; the coi principle is the samo, and tho law bas equally violated in both case-. Bcsidci doing this they ma le every votor swear t untruth, because the oath makes him s that he resides in "this ward"-viz : thc in which he is about to vote. Fourth, conduct of tho election was not in accord with ibe law, by reastin of ?ne conduct of c persons than the managers. It has 1 proved that persons illegally appointee Sheriff Mackey interfered with the mona in at least ouc instanco, and this invalid the election. In passing, counsel referrec and commented on, tho card of Sh Mackey, which appeared in tho papers s days ago. a \? Fifth. The counting of tho voles was nc accordance with the law, because: 1. It waa done at one pnblio place as the law din but at fourteen different places. 2. It was done by tho managers under oath. 9. It not dono by a majority of the managers: board, as the law provides. (Soo Bristi case, Bellinger, 310.) 4. The counting was terfered with and participated in by nnaull ized persons, 5. It is proved that in si cases, as in Ward No. 1, there were more lots than voters. The managers destroyed surplus votes under tho general election 1 We contend thoy had no right, because I law does not apply. 6. There were, in si cases, fewer ballots than there were vot and that is an uncertainty that vitiates election. Sixth. Ihe return of tho result of the elect was never made, because: 1. Under the law and tho act of 1868, thc general board c are authorized to aggregate the result of several precincts. This was never done. Tho papers handed to the Mayor wore, mi of thom, not under soak Seventh. Tho ballots themselves were aoi times destroyed, and in scarcely any case onie ly preserved" and the custody accounted for consequence of which tho board could not that which the law requires of thom. The struction of the ballots is tho destruction the evidenco which th2 law requires them take. The accidental destruction is just as fs as if it bad boen done fraudulently, and is a f :ct that cannot bo cured. (See Bellinger, 2 2C7, 373.) In conclusion, Mr. Miles said if the bot came to the conclusion that enough was bef them to satisfy tbemgthat there had been legal aud valid election, and that no perse had been legally elected to fill the offices Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Chariest ho would suggest, tho importance of a coiri wording of their verdict, and that might secured either by taking counsel or by const ia? their ow.: attornoy. He asked of th that same earnestness in tho consider.iti that they had riven in tho investigation of I case, and boned they would give their verd in such words and tvitk such reasons as woi vindicate them before thu wkolo country, a put then above reproach and suspicion. At tho conclusion of Mr. Miles' argumo Alderman Wbilden moved that the board ta a recess of fifteen minutos, and then meei secret session, which was agreed lo. Tho board hiving reassembled, the do: were closed and bia Honor tho Mayor tb aaid thoy bad arrived at tho stage in this i vostigatiou at which, unless the board shot feeldosirous of hearing more evidence, it wot be proper to como to a conclusion ; to appoiu committee who shall draft a decision and pi sent it for the adoption or rejection of t board. Alderman Marshall then offered the folio ing rosolution, which, after some discussio was put before thc board : Eesjlocd, That the board do doclaro thc lu election for Mayor anti Aldermen illegal ai void, and that no persons lave been duly clct ed to thc said offices of Mayor and Aldermi of tho City of Charleston ac said election.

Alderman Wbilden then moved that a con mittco ol live bo appointed to dra v up a d cisi?n of tbe board in the matter of this in ve ligation, to be submitted for their consider: tion as soon as possible, which motim w. carried. Alderman Lindstrom movo 1 that tho con mittee be appointed by the Mayor, which bein agreed lo, tho Mayor appointed Aldenne Geddings. Dorcef, Moore, Wbilden and Ma: shall un tue committee. Alderman Honour moved lint thc board tak a recess, and meet again at ball-past 7 o'clue this evening, which was agreed to. The board having reassembled in accordanc with thc motion of Alderman Houour, Aldorrua Dorcef, in behalf of ?ne committee appointe to druft a decidion, presented thou report, an tho question being put the rosult vas as fol lows : Ayes-Aldermen Geddings, Potter.
