The President stated that he'wuld not take any action regarding either party in 1 Louisiana, as it would be prejudging the matter of the Electoral vote. It' trouble occurs, he will supersede the present status by military government, with Oeneral . Augur at its head. The Presidential count begins to-da-. The meuibcrsx>f the committee from the House are: Payne, of Ohio, llunton. o! Virginia, Ab.ot, of Massachusetts, ?bofield, of Ohio, and Hour, of M issaeh-i- j setts. The Senate members are Edmunds, Morton, Frelinghuysen, Thurman and Bayard. The Judges elected to act are | Clifford, Strong, Miller and Field, with a 1 probable choice of Judge Bradley to com" pi etc the board. An action has been brought against Cardozo and Dunn to prevent, them from ! receiving or paying oat any funds under j ~ the appropriation bill of the M ickey , House. Judge Mackey, before whom ac ' tion was brcught, lias granted a tempore-j ry injunction, which was served last Fti- j day. The action was brought ;r. the ! name of the taxpayers of South Carolina, j The ground ot the action is the allegation ; that the Mackey House is an unlawful j bocly and their action therefore unlawful, j ? The foreshadowing of the Louisiana Sen- j ate Committee's report is that the niajori j ty will claim intimidation enough to jus- j tify the action of the Returning 15 >ard re- j garding the electoral vote, but the j Board's action is illegal regarding State officers and the Legislature. The report will hold that the Legislature should have been organized by the members hown to have been elected by the face of the returns. The report may also suggest that Kellogg should hold over till the Legislature is organized on this basis or recommend a provisional military government. The minority report will show that what intimidation did exist J is more than offset by fraud and irregu- j larity of the Returning Board. Tt is intimated that two Republican members fegard the Packard Government unfa- j ^vorably, and will so report specially. *"^he Board of Education of New York j City are experimenting in the public j schools to se:uic a system by which ibo i buildings can bo vacated in the shortest possible time in case of are or other di- { saster. Doors have been widened an^ hung so as~ to open outward. Each j school house is to be provide i with, a fire ! extinguisher, a ud buckets of water aid I axes are to be kept in accessible places, j The fire-drill which is performed daily is I the surest and wisest precaution in as- j much as it familiarizes the pupils wi b ? the idea of fire in the bui'diug and so j makes a panic most impossible. By tLis iageuious but efficient method, a school of six hundred may be dismissed in a minute. In referring to the i a<sage of the bill for counting the Electoral vote, Governor H ayes .sail to a friend some days ago: UI j want it distinctly understood that I do not desire to influence the action of Congress one way or the other in the matter of the Electoral bill, or anv matter relating to the Presidential election. The whole thing is in the hands of Congress, and I shallj - , be content with its action.y The case of Qio Warranto argued at j Bennettsville, before Judge Townsend, j has been decided in favor of the ncwlv j elected Democratic eounty officers. The question at issue was whether the election \ of County officers on November 7 was authorized by law. The decision vra3 rcn-! dered on Wednesday, and the nest day the SherifFsurrendered his office to Mr. ! Emanuel who was elected on November j 7. Au appeal is, however, taken, by the i Cicrk of the Court, in order to obtain rise j fiual decision of the Supremo Court where j cases from a number ot Counties, involving the same question, will shortly be argued. ? sricmiL. We imagine that every man whose opinion possesses any value at all, w:! concede that the adoption of the enact ; ment known as the '"black code," by tlu | legislature in 1S65 has had much to do; with the continued political cost range i ment between the t'reedmcn and property} holders in this State. Radical partisans ! have thus been furnished with an arcu ' ment of no little weight in framing fede . ml legislation for the States which at terupte l to secede, and doubrle-s tlie members of that assembly over which Hons. W. P. Porter and I1. II.

That it was opposed as freely and supported as zealously by members of one party as by those of the other confirms any favorable view which one inclines to t ike of it. No fact can more completely divest it of partisanship. If it be objected < that it is an improper, in fact an unsafe precedent to summon Justices from the Supreme Court Bench to mingle in an ' adjudication which the Constitution plainly devolves upon Congress alone, it is but a confession by the legislative branch of the Government of its unwillingness or incapability to meet1 its lull responsibilities, and it "lies with the pco pie to make even more emphatic their sentiments at the bollot box in the future. But it is the great and hitherto silent in lerests of die country that have appealed to Congress with an irresistible io'cc These the members have not failed to recognize as tiny found their tongue from one end of the country to the other. Business and industrial interests, pablic and private eredit the hopes and plans of all branches of social life, public peac-1 an 1 order, all united as on no previous occasion in our history to urge favorable action on a nica.-ure that has come almost iike a miraculous interposition to dissipate anxieties over which the public mind has brooded till it was threatened witli the disturbance of its very sanity. Ttvnnn ni lir^TCfAV On Monday last Judge Carpenter ren. deved tlso decision, .so long looked for a? to who is Governor of South Carolina. It is as follows : First. That I lie House of representatives I efore which the vote was opened and published, and before wiiieh, in conjunction with the Senate, Chamberlain was inaugurated, was not only illegal in wanting a quorum to Jo business, but positively an unlawful assemblage, usurping the rightful authority of the House of Kcprc.?atativcs, and that the proceedings conferred no authority uj>on Mr. Chamberlain to exercise the duties of rhe office of Governor. Second, That the legislative power of the State is, by the Constitution, vested in two distinct branches, the Senate and the House, both together constituting the G ncral Assembly, an I that before they can perform any legislative act, each of the houses must not only be organized separately, hut acting in confer- 1 junction with the other; hence as there was no joint action, and G#n. Hampton wu> inaugurated without a Senate, the procce.Ung? were invalid an 1 conferred no authority upon hiui to exercise the office of Governor. Tl:i. 1. A- th" act of tho Mr.ckcy Leg isl.tnre in the attempted inauguration of Chamberlain was illegal and void, and deferred no right to office, it could take away no right, and did not oper;K a- a resignation by Chamberlain. To.ovfh. \> th.' Cuns.'irution nrovides tli'it the Governor shall hold hi- officefor two years, an i until Ins sucre s-.-r is. uot only chosen, but qualified, Cham berlain is the lawful Governor until the qualification of his sucec.-scr and no longer. <-r.T? * The Ouo Warranto Case. The Supreme Court rendered a decision j . 5a>t Friday in the qu-i warranto case of the {'residential electors, dismissing the!, compiaii:'. Thi.-v.a a proceeding brought :i to te.-i the legality of the electoral vote cast tor Hayes and Whaler and to oil ; , lb-publican electors froui their oluces, j The only answer filed by ihq ubiicms was a pica to the jurisdiction of the court, I which, as the oj inion of the court shows, was su taintd. The court held that the familiar rule governing proceedings by i quit intir-tnifo is. that only the sovereign, ' irotn whom the disputed office, franchise < . liberty comes and into whose hands 11 the same, if forfeited, would return, can u>a nta'si tliis renin !y or autho i/.e it by the allowance ;>i its name, as a means of asserting the title or light of a citizen to the same. It is necessary then to iu<|uirc ' whether the United States or the State i sl'S utli Carolina stands in the relation j :luis expressed to,! he right in controversy. In the present case, the United States has cre.,!v 1 the function of Presidential Ulectors, hut has authorized tlie State to excru e the power of appoint-, uietit t-> fill it. It is not necessary to do- j ta.T.Mie, whether an action in the natureof'///-) i'm ifftinU) can 1 c maintained in the ; State courts in the name of the United!

Mr. Editor : It is only withiu a few days that I li.ivc had an opportunity of seeing an article in the N. )'. Jlcrahl, reflecting as unjustly on the humanity of this ships officers, as it docs upon the good sense, { or else the common honesty, of thorc j who represented the state, at the Inquisition. It is due, therefore, to those officers ?to that exceptional}* intelligent Jury ?and to the Department which, in a subordinate capacity, I represent, that a correct statement he given of the grounds an which the finding of the Jury was based : A select jury, ali white, ( rarely the case j.u this latitude) was judiciously obtained which entered upon a tedious ind patient investigation, resulting, long before its close, in the conviction, tha those was i ot, and could not have been my suspicion of the presence of noxious gas in the chain lockers. One of the jurors was differently impressed,?as appeared from his refusal, aft r the investigation was c! >sed, to affix his signature. Not to make this needlessly long, let me extract some of the testimony given by the witnesses : Mick'l Griffin says 4{ I heard the Boatswain order the two men to go down into the looker to stow chain. I saw them go down, and go wiiiingiy. I >aw the Boatswain go down himself, a< soon as the alarm was given. Jas. Ilo.vard says : " I am one of the Boatswains. The mate ordered me to unlock both windlasses to get r<. aUv to heave up anchors; which I did and ordered two men into the chain lockers. They went down as ordered. I then came aft and reported, and returned in a short time, and heard that two men were suffocating in the chain lockers. I got a liirht and went down myself, and called to two men to get ropes ready, and hau! the men up; which was obeyed. I gave the alarm that 1 could nut stay down there longer, and came tip. Another man went down and stopped ;i lew minutes. Upon his coming up, I wm! down again. J no. Vv iiiiams give- an arc v.nt o? th > alarm, an 1 then says . '* The Boatswdi: went down first, an! returned !::i!T stitlov? the second mate then went down an i returned similarly affected. The Captain of a hark then went d twu vr'th deponent, and leturned in the same condition. : ! then went down again, with oi.e o the j crow and another man; and with their assistance, brought both bodies up They were dead. I am one of the Boatswains. There wa no sin. 1! nor smoke. 1 le.t disposed to s'? ep as .soon as I got down. Fire cxticg ushers had been used during the night. SauFJ Brown says : '* The Boatswain went be'ow to fasten a rope to the men to haul them up. He stayed down a short time, as 1 returned half rolfoee.tc i The second mate the i went down, and he returned aTeetc I in the same way. The other Boatswain thr n went down, with two men to assist hi n. They fastened a roj c to the bodies, and they were haul d it]) on deck. 1 would ka\e gone in if I had beeir ordered. 1 had no knowledge of any danger in going down" No other witness was produced. No circumstantial evidence whatever to suggest that any ore on tint ship ent< r'ai e 1 the least thought of the pies e ice of deleterious res any?where about their, but cspceia-ly in the far remote chain looker-. The Jury found as follows ; 44 That in the afternoon of Thursday the 2Sth clay of Dee. 1S76 the deceased (a seaman on board the ship Harvey Mills, then lying u the buy of Port Rov a:) was o*d 're 1, with others by one of the Boatswain*, to .to into the chain lceker to stow chain; that, the ship having been some time on fire the contents *of numerous Fire Extinguishers had been discharged into her; and that th \s9 deleterious eases ha I penetrated even into the forecastle; and having ; accumulated in undue quantity within the chain locker, the deceased there came to his death by A phyxh. And so the said jurors aforesaid, upon their oaths aforesaid, do say that the aforesaid Charles Ilodge came to his death by Actaint, in manner and form aforesaid. " With the single exception above mentioned. the jury refused to censure any officer ?>f the ship. Every facility was afforded the jury for the thorough discharge of its duty notwithstanding the imperative demand upon officers and men during this trying time. The Herald more than insinuates that the jury were either stupid enough to believe that the i gas had *' permeated " through so many j hundred feet ot packed cotton; or were j wilfully"blind to the fact, so patent to j the Herald, that it had been designedly j introduced there for some criminal pur-' pose. That the gas was there, even the Her-; ad with .-careely doul t. The dead bodies of those poor seamenjset that at rest. As the Herald does not suggest how it; got there, permit me to .-:ay, that not only : every scientific, but every educated man knows, that like water, carbonic acid i ga =, which til's these extinguishers) will by it- weigh', '50? greater than atniostphcre, ) Mih i !c to the bottom and there, ; though invisible, tind its level, not only therefore, th ouch the linings of the vessel, but through the ventilator, which s said to extend along the kelson, and terminate under the forecastle, this noxvus gas would accumulate iu the chain lookers.

Johnson, j Deputy Coroner Beaufort, County. I *>? It is said that Chamberlain's order I* r Col. Parniele's removal from the super iutendency of the Penitentiary has been , prepared for several days, waiting Judge ' Carpenter's decision. The appeal alone ! i , .1 ii.u? prevented ua pmuiuiguiiuii. ? -?<?> "It was several years before the prince and queen of England together could uiake household matters in the royal palaces run smoothly. While nominally master and mistress there, they were in reality little better than lodgers in an hotel, where the landlord and servants had no reason to care whether or no the guests were made comfortable. The palace was officially under the control of three great officers of the State, the lordsteward, the lord-chamberlain, and the master of the horse while the outside, was to be looked after by the officers of woods and forests. These officers were changed with every change of ministry, and each had a governing voice in the regulation of the royal household. None of them were on the spot, and only the lord-steward had even a deputy to represent him, so that two-thirds of the great army of servants had nobody in particular to whom they were responsible: The functions belonging to the several sets ol masterless servants had come to be so cut up that it was almost a macter of chance whether the most common duties would be performed. If a fire was wanted, it was the place of the lord-steward's servants to put the coal in the grate, b it the lord-chamberlain's servants must light it. The lord-steward provided the lamps and candles; but the lord-chamberlain trimmed and lighted them. If a window required cleaning, the servants of the lord-ehainberlain must wash the inside, and those of the woods and forests the outside; and it was by no means to be assumed that both sets would atrrce upon a time; and, before a broken pane of glas9 could be set or a closet-door mended, the sanction of so many officials had to be secured, that months might pa^s befire the repairs would be effected." ? <v? On the da3Tof the Presidential eleetio?, whi'e the voting wa? goi g on. a lank. :mig-h tired. see ly looking customer rode upon the pnvemcs-t near the polls, slid off an 1 hitched the Ua<t?an emaciated pony '?to an awning post, and bepfn loafiig about the polls. After he liad kept this I up about hah'an hour without any sat' factory results, he sid'ed up fo a negro, who was also hu-y doing nothing iu par ticnlar, and whisperd. ' Just pint out Saoi to me." "What Sum?" "Sammy 1 iidcii, of course?The man that's running for office at this 'lection "Never heerd of him befoah?reckon he is moved out in de countrj'." The countryman then took an intelligent white man off to one side, and whispered, "D'ye see Hayes about in the croud?'' The interrogated m in professed ignorance. "Weil, what I wanted to know is, whar air thcin candid, tc.s (h it air paying five dollars for Votes, like they were at last 'lection when I was in town?" When he was told that there were no local candidates running, and tlint th:re was no free whiskey running either, he raved and went on like a pirate. lie said the whole town was an infernal swindle. He had come thirty-five miles out of his own county to vote here, be cause he thought it was a live town. The whole darn election was a perfect farce to fool people with, and he was goiug to let he blamed town slide.?Harder s Drmc er. STATE AM) COUNTY TAXES.
