duties imposed by the resolution of
Mr Edmunds requiring an investiga
tion into the 7 late . e'et tioh in various
Southern States.
House. Routine, no important ac
tion ia expected until the return of the
the Committees from the South. The
Republicans of the Senate ' caucussed-
an hour and a half thrs morning. They
rejjqisy but a Senator says cheerful
and harmonious. --If any action is
taken it'hss not transpired. It ia un
decided whether the sub-committees
of privileges and elections will; visit
the States or sit here.
, The general political feeling finds no
boisterous expression.'
The Judiciary Committee of , the
House met and agreed to report Mc
Crary's resolution to appoint a com
mittee of five from the House to act
with a Bimilar committee from the
Senate with the object of referring the
canvass of the votes of the electoral
college to some tribunal whose action
will be final.
The signal service observer at Cape
May reports the two masted schooner

New YoEr, Dec 8, Morrissey & Co.

Gov Grover of Oregon telegraphs the
New York Herald commencing as fol
lows : "At your request I give some
of the grounds of my action in grant

Washington, Dec 8. The Pension
appropriation bill passed. The reso
lution offered by Wood of New. York,
calling on the President for corpics of
orders and instructions sent to, and of
report received from military or civil
officers in the States of Georgia, Lou
isiana, Florida , and , , South Carolina
since August last, was adopted. Ad
journed till Monday.
In the Senate Hr Edmunds of Ver
mont moved to take up the joint reso
lution proposing an amendment to
the constitution of the United States in
regard to the count of the electoral
vote by the Supreme Court. Mr Mer
rimon of North Carolina! objected and
read 215 joint rule providing that un
finished business . left oyer from one
session shall not be taken up for action
until after the , lapse of six days from
the beginngpf the subsequent session.
He made the point of order that unde
the rule the joint resolution could
ni
be considered now : ; ? : - - -
The Chair. Mr Ferry, overruled the
point of order-aud announced the oint
rules were not in' force, beside this
abject was covered by the Senat rule
52, which he directed to he'real. It
provides that at tcom men cement of a
2nd session business 'should be resum
ed and proceeded with as if .no ad
journment had taken place. - Mr; Mer
rim on appealed from the decision of
the chair, and said he bad no objection
to taking up the joint4 resolution; if it
could be dne properly but If the 21st
joint rule was in ierce, as he believed
it was, the resolution cpnld not be
taken up. He thought that the rule
contained a very wholesome provision
Mr Merrimon . then argued that the
rules were in force aud -it was not
com petent for the Senate v to abolish
them without a. concurrence of the
House. Neither coud' withdraw its
assent to these rules without the con?
sent of the other. Thefdebate coi.ti..u
ed all day and was of a" technical char
acter. The only incidental allusion
being made bearing ort the question of
the electoral vote. Vote. finally reach
ed. The question being on the appeal
of Mr Merrimon from the decision of
the chair. The decision was sustained
Yeas 50; Nays 4, as follows ; Maxey;
Merrimon, Windom and Wright. So
there are no joint rules. Adjourned
till Monday.
Under the captain "the Oregon elec
tors a checkmate and sL surprise!" Hie
Herald prints a column and a half
editorial concluding: By this astute
manoeuvre the supporters of MrTilden
have captured the strong hold of the
enemy, and can turn his own battel ies
against him. If one House alone can
not reverse the certificates which bear
the signature of the Governor and the
seal of the State, the Democrats are
strongly entrenched on the ground se
lected by their adversaries. The rage
of the Republicans at being thus hoist
ed by their own petard is as amazing
as it is natural.
Full Cabinet.
When the Republicans had fired 110
guns last night, an unfortunate man
was -fatally injured by a premature
discharge. The firing ceased. To-night
the Democrats have fired 204 guns.

Arrival of Congressional Committee
Chamberlain, to be Indicted as an
Usurper To Visit Rugtr and De
mand his Authority for Quarter
ing Troops.
Columbia, Dec. 8. The Congression
al Committee arrived here late last
night. They met this morning and
organized, and soon after drove to the
State House in carriages.
The weather is cloudy and raining.
The Mackey House and Senate are
in session; their action is unimportant
The committee appointed, by the
Democratic House yesterday are now
in the discharge of their duties, which
was to call upon the officer command
ing tho United States troops at the
State House and inform him the De
mocratic House ia legally constituted,
ask the withdrawal of troops fron
that building, and. if refused,1 demand
by what authority the . troops , are re
tain ed there. The Democratic House
also instructed the Judiciary Com mit
teee to employ counsel . to proceed
against D H Chamberlain for treason
able acts in usurping the government
of the State. Also directed the com
mittee to ascertain and report what
counties are not represented in the
House. ' .' . .
"Is my face dirty ?1' asked a young
lady from the country of her aunt, at
the breakfast table of a Baltimore
hotel, the other morning,- Dirty?
No. Why do you ask?" "Because that
insulting waiter insists on' putting a
towel by my plate. I've thrown. three
under the table, and yet every, time he
comes around, he puts another one be
fore me,'.' and, she held up the' last
napkin indignantly.
One night we were sitting out of
doors in the moonlight, unusually
silent, almost sad. Suddenly some one
a poetic looking man, with a gentle,
loving face said in a low tone : "Did
you ever think of the beautiful lesson
the stars teach us ? We gave a vague,
appreciative mur mur, bu t s ome' soul
less clod said: "No, what is it ?" "How
to wink,"vhe answered, in a. sad, sweet
voice. , - -
