Wa8Hikotok, Feb. 19. The New
York Tribune puhlkhea interviews
with Graul regarding South Carolina.
The President is made to say in South'
Carolina the contest hod assumed such
a phase that the whole army of the
United States would , be inadequate to
enforce the authority of Governor
Chamberlain The people of that State
had resolved not to resort to violence
bpt adopted a mode of resistance much
more formidable and effective than
armed demonstrations They had re
fused te pay their State taxes to Gov.
Chamberlain and it would be useless to
sill out their property, as no one would
buy it; and unless Gov. Chamberlain
could compel the collection of taxes it
would be utterly useless for him to ex-
Jet to maintain his authority for any
lgthof time. This state of affairs
ist inevitably result in the abandon
ment of all efforts by Gov. Chamber
lain to maintain himself in the exer
cise of the Gubernatorial functions of
lie State of South Carolina. , '
J The President will leave the White
ijouce on the 3d of March. He and
Jlrs. Grant will be the guests of Sec
Betary Fish.. , ;-y.-"M.i
IIocse. On assembling at 10
'clock the House , took a recess until
1 O'clock. ( , ..;-"'f "' -;.;-: .'.
Precisely at 11 o'clock the Senate
rrived at the Hall of the Houbo and
look the seats alloted to it in the right
kf the Chamber. : : " t r ,
The presiding, officer then handed
o the tellers the decision of the elec
toral commission, giving the vote of
JLouisiana to Hayes and Wheeler,. ,He
jthen asked if there were any objections
o the decision. , ; , ,
Gibson of Louisiana, presented an
iobjection signed by nearly all the
Democratic Senators and Rcpresenla,-
,tiveir.' Other objections were submit-.
!ted by Senator Wallace of Pennsylva
nia, and by Representative Cochrane
of Pennsylvania. ' These having been
read the Senate retired and the House,
on motion of Wood of New York, took

', Senate. No business was transact
ed previous to the return of the Senate
from the Honse, when Sherman sub
mitted a resolution that the decision of
the commission upon the electoral rote
of the State of JLouisiana stand as the
judgment of the Senate,' the objections
made thereto to the ( contrary notwith

to be electoral votes for President and

by Wm. P. Kellogg, J. H. Burch, L.

Marks, A. B. Leviseee O. II. Brews,
ter and Oscar Jefferoiu, clainung to be
electors for the State of Louisiaua, be
not counted, the decision' of the com
mission to the Contrary notwithstand-1
The qet'gtion being rn the substitute
of Mr. Kernan; Mr. Thirman of Ohio,
said the statute of Louisiana created a
returning board Consisting; of five per
sons who were to hold bfEco indefi
nitely and with power to fill all vacan
cies that might ocenr.7,.(; ; . ,
K '( It devolved upon these five men to
say who should hold office in the State.
The question of who should hold office
depended not upon the will of the peo
ple but npon the will of ,jthe returning
board. He believed such a board .was
utterly destructive of fa republican
form of government. The State1 of
Louisiana, under onr Constitution, had
no power to create such a board. The
acts of that board were unconRtrto'tiori-
m, uuu BmLoiu( euu u m ncs were
not unconstitutional they were not
legal in canvassing the vole of te' 7th
of November last becadse' the statute
required that the board should be com
posed of five persons of different polit
ical parties. , But in .fact it was com
posed of but . four persons, all of the
same party, and they steadily refused
tq fill the, vacancy., The .duty of the
board was to eanvass and complete the
returns of the commissioners of elec
tions, but the testimony, showed they
did not do it The nrnnf vhiVf, ii
'couDsoi offered before' 'the", comufission
should have been accepted, and in that
opinion he was fortified by the action
of both Houses of Congress four years
ago In rejecting the vote of Louisiana,
He lb m fofcirtd to they alleged ineli
gibility, of certain electors in that
Btate, and said he could not egard
that other tfaanas a nullification of the
constitutional provision , OB tha sub
jeci undW this decision. Nd matter by
what fraud a man might be elected
President or Vice President, or bow
eligible an elector might be.'.there was
no power to iuquire into iU T&e.yote
of an ineligible eiectorhuiust be count
ed, and neither the State nor Congress
could right the wrong.' He utterly
dissented from such a decision as being
destructive to republican govern
ment. The decision would ha,ve the
effect of a proclamation to dishonest
returning boards to perpetuate whatf
ever villainy their interests, might dic
tate, with the absolute certainty that
they would be successful. ! !
Morton followed, at length in sup
port of the action of the commissioti.
; Mr. Bayard of Delaware, said as a
member of the electoral commission, he
had given all that Tie "could give of
earnest study, patient labor and devo
tion to secure a 'just execution of the
law under .which he was appointed.
His labors-d his i efforts had been
Crowned by failure deep his sorrow,
and poignant was ,. his, disappoyntrnent
He mourned hni failure' ifoi' his conn,
try's sake, for it seemed to hiro not
only did this decision leyel,iu the dust
all the essential safeguards thrown
around the election, of a. Chief Magis
trate, but it announced o the people
of this laud .that truth, and justice,
