Chamberlain in :i;.)o;ttii?i^ a lorce of oon."tables to tie.i the ii!'.\cai Edgefield and Lauren.* d loiraiioio: did just what he ought to have done at tinbeginning of the scs ion, ami what wt hare urged he should do: instead of cali-' iug U(K>u the Uuited States troops. There are sufficient wen in the State who are ready at any ami a>! times, to answer the call of the Governor to sustain the majesty of the law. A power within the State used t?> pro serve the peace, under the cool headed direction of Governor Chamberlain will inspire confidence among jtlie republicans in case of disturbance, and gain respect lor our government among our opponents. Ti?? republicans in democratic Georgia -according to the Savannah i\n>w, at n meeting decided upon the following action; ''That they would nominate, no regular Radical candidate, but the members of that party will unite on the par- ! ties who offer theiu the greatest indr.ee meats. The sense of the gathering last I night was that the only relief from the j present condition ot affairs couil he; brought about by the election of a olayor and Board of Aldermen who could reduoe the city expenses, lower the tuxes and afford work for the unemployed. Such a ticket would receive their support. PfuuiDEVT Grant sustains ihe State Board of Cauvassers iu throwing out the vote ot Edgefield aud Laurens counties. Mr. Ferry ruled iu the United States Wpdnpsulav that there were no UVtMW v* v v jaiat rules iu force. Mr. Ratala!! ruled io the House that they were all In force. #' ?^r? Speaker Macitey will issue writs ot election fur Laureas aad Edgefield. The leetions will probably take place about February 1. The county offices will be filled at the same election. Tub iadignatiou meetiugs called to ask Myers aad Hamilton to resign have not assembled, everybody seems to be waiting to see who will win before going too deep into such things. OUR XEW SENATOR. The republicans of South Carolina have done themselves honor iu electing to the Uuited States senate the Hon. D. T. Cor bio. He has just the ability, courage and energy of character necessary at this cri. sis. The party iu the State and nation has been strengthened by *the good \v;rk done at the state house. Senator unueuucu w loui/u wv mm v Wade Hampton's card attached to the inaugural of Governor Chamberlain in order to correct the statement of the last paragraph. Senator Nash reiterated his statemeut that Hampton had told hiui that he had saved Chamberlain's life two or three times, and that but for his counsels Chamberlain would not now be alive. The action of the so-called house of representatives; at Carolina hall prove* that they have seen the utter folly and recklessness, of the democratic tactics from the beginning. They went through the motiou of referring the' certificates oi' the members from Edgefield and Laurens to oommitteo on elections. The commit-. tec reported in favor of the seating of the delegatious, and the so-called hoa?e agp-'n elected \V. If. Wallace speaker. This is a plaiu admission that their organization up to that time was void. It does not show much respect for the opinions expressed by members of the supreme court. .k ? The Boston Advertiser biings the issue hoxae to the comprehension of the democrats in this way : Let us suppose that Governor Hay^s has on the face of the returns made by the electoral college a majority of the votes. a?<i the democrats think there ws.s fraud in the count of some of the .-.fa^es. Let us suppose that the democratic congress undertakes to prevent the declaration of Hayeiaud Wheeler, and to inves tigate whether or not (here has he n a fraud. Suppose it- that emergency iwunsel lor the KepaMl.un candidates chould apply to the supremo court of the United States for a writ prohibition forbidding congress to act judicially in the matter, on the ground that the lav/ investing them with power vrus in viola lion of that sectiou oi the constitution which iuipoaes on the vice president the duty of opening the returns and deelar ing the result. Suppose the court houid issue & uiaudamu* commanding the vicepresident u> aggregate the returns from the states as made, and report them to the court, aad when he had done thi* /he court should issue another uiaudam us commanding him to declare the e'eotion of Hayes and Wheeler in accordance with the lesult as found bj' aggrega!i?:2 the returns, and avoid, as the South Carolina court h s done, inakiugany decision of the legal question submitted to it. We are iuciined to the opinion that, under these circumstances, our rod hot dense emtio friends would talk about the "revolul ^uar. act of the court as glibly as i-w Hampton now does about the revolutionary act of the canvassing h'?ard. ! | It makes liiiitu'iica wh- >e ox is: ! ?oro 1.

The Vole of the Electoral College. The Presidential electors assembled j yesterday, according to law, in all the j States, cast their votes for President and J Vice President, made out their ccrtili-! cates, appointed their messengers an I ; having discharged ad their functions, a-ijourned sine die. There was nothing t - * ** " - * . break the dull uniiotnxry or -e men ly formal proceedings, except in Vermont where Mr. AM rich, who receiver] the highest number of democratic votes on the 7th of November, claimed a seat i; the Electoral College in the place of Mr. j Sollaee, who was ineligible, and a sinii-' lar claim on the republican side in Missouri, both of,which we:e.disregarded.

The constant occupation of my time with other dutie* which [ could not po-tone, has prevented me from preparing fch.t"u>ua! .statements and recommendations respecting our public affairs. At the eariies: practicable day, 1 will discharge this duty. Our greatest interest, our most I commanding duty now, is to stand firmly, reach in his appointed place, against the aggrc sions and allurements of our politi! eal opponents. Our position up to the I ?;!e-erit time, has been within the clear limits of our constitution and laws. Nothing hut the cowardice or weakness or trench -ry of cur friends, can rob us of victory, i state what iaets show, what i overwhelming evidence prove?, when 1 I . J .

It is written in ; 'olood on ilie pages of'our recent national history, that no government can rest with safety upon the enforced slavery cr degradation of a race. In the full Maze of that great example of retributive justice which swept away a half million ' of the best lives of: our country we see American people divided by party lines upon ihe question of the disfranchisement an 1 degradation of the same nice whose physical freedom was purchased at such a cost. And, what is more astonishing still, there are republicans who permit the errors which have attended the first effort of the rave in self-govern ; ment to'chiii th ir symphalics to such ex j tent that ihey .stand coldly bv and piv.oti- I cally say rhat the peace of political servitude is better than the abuses and dis* quiet which newly acquired freedom lias brought. 1 denounce the conduct of the recent election, on the p.art of our political on" laments in this s'ate. a vast brutal out luge. rVua'.i, proscription. mntniuanori ; in all forms vio! ire, raiiaiu-rthoi ugh :ii* i . ? its degrees, up io wanton murder, were its' effective methods.
