The Conflict Between Authority
in South Carolina.
The political situation at this dis
tance from Sooth Carolina has aa un
usual appearance.
The country ia told that the law of
that State gives tbe power to finally
count tbe vote polled at elections into
the hands of State officers, called a
State Board of Canvassers. The Hoard,
voder the law the country is told
has the right to examine iuto cases in
which it u charged fraud has been com
united, and it is also empowered by the
law to examine witnesses iu the case,
and if in the opinion of tbe board tbe
frauds are of such a character as to
warrant, or justify them in counting out
thi fraudulent vote, tbey may do so.
The laws are all State law, and not
Congressional laws, as many have been
led to believe tbey are.
Home days ago, when the time ar
rived for the State Board of Canvassers
to sit and cunt the votes and issue cer
tificates la those elected, the clamor
was raised that the Board would not do
what was right under tbe law. Repub
licans said great frauds bad been ciiin
tuttted, and in the counties of EJge
field and Laurens tbe Republican mem
ber had beeu cheated by the district
election board, and that tbey would
carry the case up to tbe State Board of
Canvassers. Tne Democrats said " If
these two districts are Republican tbe
L-'jisliture belong to that party, and
that will give the whole State to the
Republicans."
Stid the Democrats. We will try
the S?ipmii f-ourt of the State."
Tiiey went to that judicial body and
akd it to say to the Hoard of Can
vassnrs that tbey, the Canvassers, had
no right to sit as judges on the returns
of any district ; ail tbey had to do was
to count the vote and tell the country
bow it stood, and if any frauds bad
been committed that would have to be
settled in the courts and ia the Legis
lature. That is what the Supreme Court was
asked to command the Board of Can
vassers to do.
The Supreme Court took the ques
tion, and ordered the Canvassing Board
to oount the vote as they got it from
the districts, and while the count was
going on the Court would decide what
body should sit and decide on the cases
of fraud as alloged in several counties.
The IJjard day after day progressed
rS the counting of the returns.
The Court day after day was bearing
arguments for and against tbe question
before it.
Day after day of the time allowed by
law for the B iard of Canvassers to com
plete their work wag passing away.
Last Sunday a week the time for the
completion of tbe work by the Board
expired, but they did not sit on that
day, but on Monday they eat, to make
up for tbe Sabbath, and completed tbe
count, and issued certificates of elec
tion to those they found elected under
the law.
They examined the alleged cases of
fraud and violence in tbe counties of
Kdgeheld and Laurens, and gave the
certificates of election for those coun
ties to the Republicans, and when that
was done they adjourned tine die.
Tbe Bjard bad no legal existence
after that date ; it was the last hour tor
them to decide.
The Supreme Court bad not yet de
cided the point as to who bhould sit ia
judgment 00 tbe returns in tbe districts
where frauds bad been committed and
illegal voting done.
When it came in with its decision
the Board of Canvassers bad completed
the canvass, and were adjourned sine die.
Tbe decision of the Court is, that tbe
Board of Canvassers have 00 right to
examine into the legality or illegality
of returns ; all tLat they have to do ia
to count, and a.inouuca them, issue cer
tifL-ates where no contest exists, and
where contest exists issue no certifi
cates, but leave the contestants to go
into the Courts or Legislature, as the
case mar be fur settlement.
That it the conflict between authority
in South Carolina.
Tbe case is important to all, only so
far as it affects the general election,
and as it affects general principles as
they apply to all.
The country would like to know how tbe
Supreme Court got hold of tbe question
of the rights of the Cinvassicg Board,
uad?r the Law. Was it usurpation ou
the part of tbe Court to attempt t con
trol tin Canvassers s it did ! Was it
a 'i atiemiit at arbitrary potrer and rev-ci-i.-MO.
Iiv tli Oonrt !
If the Court had the right to do what
c'h-ui'jJ the right to do, did it nut
J'.se its power ia this case by coming iu
with a decision after the Canvassing
Board had discharged its work and had
been adj mrned by the law that created
it!
Ia tbe proper time these points will
all be answered and settled to the satis
faction of tbe country, if the bot beads
who have control are kept from getting
up a fi'at, tJ involve the whole coun
try in.
It is the duty" of every law abiding
Republican and Democrat to insist on
it that the trouble among the parties be
settled by peaceable means.
If the Canvassing Board has gone
beyond Us powers, let it be punished.
If in disregarding the Supreme Court
they committed contempt let tbem be
pu;nshd, aud if tbe Supreme Court is
iuilty of usurpation, aud has placed
iucif above law, and dictated in an
arbitrary manner, let it be punished ;
but ueithcr the Canvassing Board or
the Supreme Court have a right to pre
cipitate tbe country into a sute of war.
Tbey have no weapons but peaceable
ones. The people, who created both
tin Buard and the Court have not dele
gated such powers to tbem.
Oa Saturday tbe Supreme Ccurt is
sued an 01 dor on each of the members
of the Board of Canvassers to show
cauie why they should not be punished
for couteiupt of Court.
Tiie order was made returnable in
four benrs.
The members of the Board did not
answer, whereupon tbe Supreme Court
entered judgment as a fine of $1,500
upon each member, and a commitment
to jail until released by order of tbe
Court. Tbe members of tbe Board are
all in jail.

THE LEGISLATURE.
BEPCBLICAif IS BOTH BRANCHES.
Senate 21 Reputliran uni 1$ Demo
crat House 120 Republican and 81
Democrat Republican Majority on
Joint Ball J, 51.
Tbe following is correct list of the
members of the new Legislature, with
their political classification. It will be
seen that the Republicans have a ma
jority of 12 in the Senate, and 39 iu
tbe House, mating 51 on joint ballot.
The Senators elected in the odd num
bered districts, hold for four years, and
those chosen in tho even numbered dis
tricts, buld for two years. It is nota
ble that of the 25 Senators who bold
over for four years, and who will parti
cipate in the election of a Unite J States
Senator to succeed Cameron, 21 are
Republicans and but 4 are Democrats.
Tbe new Senate will be ratber above
the average ability of that body, and
the Houe, with the loss of some of its
best men like Parker, Gunster, Mitchell
and others, will be an abler assembly
thao the last one. Those marked with

Letter from an Old Jark&onian Democrat
f Green n vod Tnbip.
Nzak Sevcx Star Tavkrx, )
November 25, 1876. J
.Vy Dear .Mr. Editor: How quietly
the suow falls this Saturday eveuitig
iu fall can not be beard ; it can be
aeea and can be felt. You know
about bow softly it falls ; it is like tbe
smile of a uiaguetie suvto, you ee it,
and though you may be yards away
from ber, you feel it, under your waist
coat, wbou it strikes your heart, and
put it in a flutter. I'll bet many a
fellow's heart is going pit a-pat to-night,
as be and his sweet-heart sit at oppo
site ends ol a table and talk across it.
Tbe look and smile of magnetic wo
man eau be felt as far as seen, though
they make no noise. That "a my expe
rieuce. That was Oid Andy Jackson's
experience.
You know o'.d Hickory's heart silent
ly surrendered to the smile aud pierc
ing look of the grass widow that became
his wife, lie was as strong a believer
in the silent power of woman's smiles
and looks as he was a believer in tbe
silent power of the ballots by wkich
we elect all our officers, and be would
about as soon have committed suicide.
or pitched Mrs. Jackson out of the
window, as to insult the rne, and dis
troy the other, and this evening 1 was
shocked when I heard some of tbe
anti-Jackson fellows down here at tbe
Stars read from a New York paper that
when the Congress meets next month
and the House and Senate comes to an
nounce tbe electoral vote for President,
that if it is for Hayes by obly one or
two, the Southern men should object to
the vote of South Carolina, Louisiana
and Florida, and if the objection is not
listened to, tbe Democratic Congress
man should withdraw from Cougress,
and set op somewhere else and declare
Tilden elected.
That's the way they do things in
Mexico. Just no later than last week,
on the 22d cf November a rajcally
Mexican greaser, who bad been in the
Supreme Court of that country, put
himself at tbe bead of the party that
was defeated at an election a little
while ago, and went to a certain part ol
the State and set up another govern
ment, and now tbey Lave two govern
ments in that State.
Tbe people of this country are not
Mexican greasers by a long shot, and
they are not agoing to bave their coun
try Mexicauized in that way.
I teil you, boy, that if Old Andy
were above ground he'd ttll them New
Yorkers that tbe silent ballot never
conferred such rights on any set of men
who ever were elected to Congress.
U by, that's even more than secession
of tbe States. That's going further
than Jeff Davis went in 1SC0, for you
k low that then Jeff claimed that be bad
tbe consent of his State to leave Con
gress, and all tbe other Rebel leaders
waited till tbeti States had been work
ed up to vote that they would seceed.
If we could just get Old Andy to come
down here out of the good place to tell
tbe New Yorkers who want to commit
that treason (for if ever treason was
preached that is treason,) that if be
had tbe power, that the first man who
would attempt to do such a thing as
that be would serve htm as be wanted
to serve t'alboun when be wanted to
break up this government.
That qnestion never was discussed
when the C mgressmen were elected by
the silent ballot, and if it had been
discussed, no man who favored such a
view would bave beeu elected.
The Constitution of the United States
tells bow the electoral vote shall be
cointed. This is the way. 1 quote
from tbe Constitution :
Abt. 2, Sec 1. The Prefident ol tho
Senate sh ill, in the pr-sence of the Senate
nd House ot Represent itives. open all c r
titicates, and the votes shall then be count
ed. Tito person having the greateM num
ber of vote shall be President, It such
number be a mtjoritr of the whole number
of electors appointed."
The Vice President shall be chosen in the
same manner.
The Constitution provides for tlie
election of those officers in case of a
tie vote, which you can lcirn hj read
ing that p iper.
Wouldn't my old party raise a
whoop if your party would say if
the return certificates of Louisiana
and Florida are for Tilden and the
Senate bo declares thein to be, as it
is in duty bound to do if they so are
fcVe object to their count, and if
you don't listen to oiir objection, we
will withdraw and set np for Hayes
somewhere." I say, wouldn't our
fellows raise a whoop, if your party
would declare 6uch treasonable ob
jects ! That would be playing; the
Mexican in fulL I tell you no Con
"TeKsman has tho right to talk that
kind of treason, and no Republican
or Democrat, who has the right kind
of feeling for his country will talk
that way, and the man who attempts
to break up the government in that
way should be hanged, be he Repub
lican or Democrat.
- The country don't send Congress
men to Congress to get up such trou
bles, and thd sooner they are told of
it by their constituents the better.
If a Congressman can't help settle
a trouble, if any arise, let him resign,
which he has the right to do, and
come home, and the people will send
a man in his place, who can do bet
ter. The men who were sent to Con
gress were not sent there to set up
another government ; it will be time
for them to think of it once their
masters, the people,, tell theia to do
so. The people make Congress, and
that body must not attempt to get
above its creator ; it must not at
tempt a revolution without the con
sent of the people. The people are
the power that make officers, legisla
tures, courts, and Congress, and
they'll have no such short cuts from
any set of fellows. When they want

the government divided ' they'll let
their wish be known, and men. will be
elected for that purpose. Yon can
bet high on it, that the fellows that
attempt to set up another govern
ment will be come down on after the
fashion of Andy Jackson. Nearly
everybody is s Jackson man on that
point.
That would be many times worse
than the Jeff Davis Rebels, for his
friends would get a State to vote
whether they would go out or stay
in, and when they said come ont
they went out Why, the people
wouldn't even stand that. How do
you think they stand it when a par
cel of office-holders in Congress will
attempt to eo out without the leave
of anybody t The silent power of
the ballot must be respected, and if
men get into a wrangle in any of the
States about it that is no reason why
the country should be Mexieanized.
If there are any Congressmen who
wish to turn Mexican let them go to
Mexico, for they will not be allowed
to play their revolutionary work here.
Republicans and Democrats think
alike on that question, and the spirit
of the sainted Andy is over us all in

BARTON SPEAK.
The Body of a Nobleman to be
iarned to Ashes.
" As there has been considerable
talk abjut creoiatioa we would sute
that on Wednesday, December 6, the
first practical test of reducing a huiuau
body to ashes, in tbe furnace erectea by
Dr. Le Moyue, at Washington, this
Slate, will be made. Tbe sufject will
b the euibalurcd remains of liarou Von
Palm, who died in New York in May
last, aud who expressly directed pre
vious to bis demise, tbat the same
should be cremated.' Tbe retort iu
which ll tbat la mortal of the dead
uoblemao will be reduoed to a pint or
so ot ashes, was erected by Mr. Gard
ner, ol Lockport, a manufsoturer of
gas retorts. That it will answer every
purpose is evidenced by tbe fact ol two
sheep having been put through the
cremating process in it recently, and it
worked like a charm. In tbe forth
coming trial tbe doctor expects that in
tbe course of five hours be can show a
small quantity of ashes as the outcome
of tbe Baron's body.
There is already great excitement
in medical and other professional circles
over this experiment, and it is expected
that scientific men will be present from
all sections ot tbe country towituess the
cremating of tbe remains. Some alter
ations are being made to the furnace so
as to afford visitors a chance to see the
manner in a bich 2,000 degrees of Fah
renheit can ehrivel up a lot of decaying
flesh in less tiuie than it wonld take to
dig l grave, aud the whole affair will be
ennducted in the most satisfactoiy man
ner possible. Tbe owner of the fur
nace cuarantees there will be no nox
ious gases to annoy visitors, as these
will be consumed in tbe fire through
which they must pars. Addresses will
be delivered on the occasion by a num
ber of distinguished gentlemen, inclu
ding Dr. Hays, President of the Wash
ington and Jefferson College."
. m m m
Another Human Body to be Burned
" Another subject for cremation is
Max Henry Steau, an eccentric, wealthy
individual, cf Brooklyn, who died re
cently, and left a will, which has just
been opened, providing for his crema
tion or cheap burial. He bequeaths his
few worldly goods to his wife, and tsys
it is bis special wish, should any society
exist within eay access for tbe sensible
and satisfactory purpose of burning
human dead bodies, tbat his body be
disposed of bv tbat improved method or
operation. Otherwise be don't want
any costly funeral humbug, but directs
that the expenses shall not exceed
eighty dollars, and not more than four
persons follow the body as mourners.
Tbe will was written in June, 1874.
To the North Pole in a Balloon.
A Freucbuiao proposes to reach the
North Pule bymcausofa balloon. Ail
other methods of traveliug in tbe Arctic
regions baviug failed, recourse, ho says,
must be bad to aerostation. By this
means alone cao the hitherto insur
m luu'able difficulties experienced in at
tempting to traverse the mountains of
ice winch bar the way to the desired
object be overcome. Captain Nares, he
maiutains might bave reached the Pole
iu a very tew hours had bo been pro
vided with aerostatic appliances.
Whether it would bare been prudent for
him on reaching tbe Pole to have effect
ed a descent is another question, for
some difficulty of a serions nature might
have arisen as to the return jouruey ;
but he might at all events have passed
over it and taken observations which
couid hardly fail to bave been of great
iuterest and value.
The Secret of a Son.
The day before bis death the Emper
or N'.colas, of Russia, kept bis eldest
son for several hours near him giving
him from time to time his last direc
tions, and it is stated on suffioient au
thority tbat the present Czar, profound
ly impressed by bis dying parent's
words, several times retired to write
them down in there exactness. Tbe di
rections related to family matters, and
matters of State. It is believed that
among the promises exacted by the
Royal father, is ooe, to wage a war of
conquest against tbe 1 urk, at the first
time thai tbe ('xar believes himself able
to successfully manage such ao under
taking. Tbe arrival of Boss Tweed bad been
protracted so long tbat people began to
say, "The Bns& must have sto'en lbs
