The Blaine investigation brings out some facta npon republican frauds and violence in South Carolina, which that can smoke iu his pipe. At Charleston on 27, State Senator Maurice testified to the lakewarmnees and divisions of the republicans in Williamsburg, and to the genera, .a i character of Swails, the Republican leader; it was in consequence of Swarl's threats that he was notified that he would be held responsible for any bloodshed or honseburaing. and that he had better leave the country. Circuit Solicitor Hirscb, a republican until 1577, said that he had investigated by G veraor Hampton's direction, ths different charges made by Swaiia, and found that the White Oak meeting was not held to advocate Mr. Rainey's elec tion ; that Swails was not arrested by the Red Shirts and that no threats |haJ been made against Swails except that he would be held to account for any blood shed or incendiarism. Jack FVps, a colored preacher, testifi ed that he abstained from voting at the election, and is. in consequence, debar red by the colored republicans frem ministering to the Baptist churches he had regularly served. J. B.

He ga\o brief history st fir-t of the wu\ lbs ci pher telegrams became public through the collusion of one Bullock, then the messenger oftlie Morton c mmtttee o' the Senate, now t'ousul to t'ologne. H gave copies of them first to t'ongrer-nan Evans, of Indiana, who gave them to Second Assistant Postmaster uener* Brady, who turue.l them over to ilener al Hollar, who gave them, it is supposed, to William K. Chandler, who secured their translation, in* believed,and their publication. In the course of the tysti uionv it came out that the late Presi deut Orion, of the Western I nion, gave an order to Mr. lireen to destroy cer tain telegrams which jut.-sed between ths then Postmaster-tieneral, Ivncr, and the then Secretary of the Interior, Zaoh Chandler, aceompanied by instruc tions to also burn the order. Mr.Ciieen savs that three telegrams, which he read before burning, then passed between Indianapolis and Washington, M r . Tyner being in Indianapolis and Mr. Chandler in Washington. Ihe former requested the latter to appoint two per sons to positions under the Govern ment, wlnwe names Mr. Green could uol recollect, at salaries of $2,5G' each, and to appropriate the wkole amount of the same for immediate use in the pres sing necessities of the Republican cam paign in ladiaua, Mr, Chandler repli ed, a* Chairman of the Republican t otn nuttee and a Secretary of the Intetior, that it had been done and that the monev had besn deposited in liank Mr. Green is clear iu his recollection of the correspondence, which was impress ed upon his memory by the order of Mr. Ortom to born it and then to des troy the order, which he did. Ihe ob ject of this was. of course, to prevent any revelation of the me of Government money by the Republican managers be fore any invesngati n at Washington. The testimony has created a pr found sensation, and gives a new and im;or tant interest to the Potter committee. The additional evidence indicates that all of the important Republican tele grams have been destroyed. It was also shown that the telegrams received by the Morris >n committee were duly re turned, and that he h>! is a receipt ■ r the schedule of the ame. The Herald's -pe. ial savs: It is alto gether a very disgraceful story, and it shows clearlv that the republicans kC every opportunity to pick out and take awav any despatches which any of them remembered a* compromising them or the party. When it is remembered that Bullock, a mere messenger to a commit tee, an obscure person, received the gift of an important consulate for no reason that can be imagine 1 or has been stated except that he passed the damaging ci pher despatches from the committee room into the hands of persons ab.e when they got them to make public use 'of them, but who could not afford to be charged with taking them themselves, the natural suspicion arises that there were important persons before Bullock is well as behind him. aad tbst he. who served merely as an ob# ure go between was put out of the way in Germany, to secure liis silence. With ail the dis patches compromising republicans out of the way, and all the persons concern ed in disreputable election transaction* in the three Southern States rewarded with public offices, it is easy to see that the republican managers might well think their proceedings safe against dis closure. Brady who, aa Assistant Postmaster Geaeral, ought to have bad a strong sense of the eacredness of private corres pondence, seems to have thought noth ing of opening, looking over and taking away telegraphic despatches. Ilia con fession will certainly check the scLeme.'- to run the telegraphs by government employes. Mr. Chandler related that he, Mr. Hale, Brady and others heid u consulta tion as to the disposal of the stolen des patches, and finally concluded to put them in General Butler's possession, and that is for the present the end of the mystery. nro oriyioss.

Nevada O. Enterprise. THE SE AT ( oy(;RE\S. Everybody appears to understand that the next or Forty-sixth < engross is a democratic bo.lv, but few understand exactly how it stands. The New York Tribune has been figuring on it, and classifies the members-elect of the For ty-sixth Congress, politically, a* follows democrats, 147; Republicans, 12*: dem ocratic national, 7; Republican nation . als, V Nationals. 2; to be elected from California, !. From thi* classification, it is seen that if all the Nationals should act witli the Republicans and the four California members should l>e Republi cans also, the democrats would still hold a majority in the House, which is com posed of J l '".' members, and 117 is a clear majority of that number. Instead of , this, however, the Tribune concedes to the democrats seven of the fourteen Na . tionals, and most questions it is believ ed that nearly all of them will act with the democrats, while we are morally sure of securing two of tho four mem bers from California . with a fair pros pect of electing three, and may possibly elect four. The demacratic majority in the House is well assured in any event, the democrats also holding a majority in the delegations of nineteen States to ■ the Republicans eighteen, anil one dele gation to be elected. The Supreme Court of this State re cently rendered a decision of much im portance to the people.
