C., Nov. 24.—The State Bupreme Court has fssued o rule to the State Canvassers and their counsel, D, T. Corbin, to show cause why they should not be attached for contempt in violating a writ of prohibitfon fssued on the 17th inst., and {ssulng certificates in defiance of the Court. The Court convened at 4 p. m. fn responsc to the rule issued at the morning session. Unlted States District Attorney Carbin, counsol for the Board, introduced an afildavit asking for further time. The Court stated that if he would indicate the time of their defenso or assurc the Court that thoy would obey its man- damusg, further time would be granted. o would not do this, and tho request was refused, The cousel for the relators were instructed to draw the order, but as a recitation of all the proceedings was required aaa preface to the order to commit the Board for’ contempt, they requested until to-morsow mornizeg to file it. The Court sald that they hoped the Board would in the morning obey its mandate and purge the contempt. If they do not they WILL BE COMMITTED TO JAIL, The counsel for relators then moved that o poremptory mandmnus issue to H. E. Payoe, Secrctary of State, to {ssue certificates to all members of the General Assembly, fucluding the Countfes of Edgfeld and Laurens, in ac- cordance with tho orderof the Court of Wednes- day’s seasion, Associnte-fustice Willard eald that the rela- tors ought not to pray this at this state of the proceedings, o8 Mr, Payne was now in contempt, and the Court had no nssurance that he would obey, as he had disobeyed thelr mandatoalready, intimating that the counsel ought, therefore, to awalt the result of the rule before moving thls order. JUDGE WILLARD BAID: Hero we have just made asolemn declston, in which II, E. Paync is a pariy, as a membor of the Board of Stato Canvaseors and as Secretnry of State. 1 thie order in thut cano—an order directed to him an well us to the others on tho Hoard—had been obeyod, this question would not have arlsen, As the case now stande, an incident has occurred taro in the history of civilized soclety, Mon clothed with civil authority of o Wimlted character, subject to the courts of the land, have placed themselves in deflance of the hlchest court In the State of Sonth Caroling, and aro now jeopardizing the necurity of justice and the seennity of peace.

HOW THE VOTING WAS DONE IN XDOEVIELD, Corresuondence New York Times, CoLuMnIa, 8, O,y Nov. 20.—Notwithstanding the proviefon that no mwun shall be deprived of any volitical privilege enjoyed by any other man on accoutrt of “ race, color, or previous condition of servitude,” by some taclt understauding on the part of thenanagers of election, two poll- fug-pluces were established In the village of Edgetield,oneiat the Court-House, called No. 1, for the whites; anotherat Macedonia Church, on the edgge of the village, protesscdly for the cals orede The former nu colored nau sttempted to approach uutil late in the day, Then, it~ being found that, m cousequenco of the tactica employed ut the chureh but o small portlon of the calored I:.pulnunn wutld be able to vote there, an at- ewipt was made to vote at No. 1. United States Murshal Beaty succecded In getting six or cight to the bux, but bryond that nuber wll ciforts were i vain, Every approach to the Court-flouse wus cut off Dy horsemen, who furtned u cordon aeross every puth,whils crowds uf white men padked the steps umd portico of tho Court-1louse buitding, nruvunllnb' the ap- pronch of uny one suspected of Republieantsi, p to nearly 10 o'clock the hundreds of colored votera waiting to deposit Republican ballots at poil No. 3, which they had been made to beliove waus exclusively thelr own, wero prevented from even getting near the box by the crowds of \\-hnlm en already in the building and votlng there, Auwild all the strife and dauger of the ungquat contest in which they were competled to enguge, not & gun or plsto] wus to bo sven {n the hunds or on the percous of the outruged but inof- fenslve blacks. 1 there wus u weapon umou;i that surging mass, it was most skilltully aud consideratoly conwaled. A fow, it s true, bad atlcks, but beyond that they were as defenncleas as the children of 8 New York publle school, hey never gava expression to a threat, and oven dealsted, when requested so to do, from lrluhlllglng In a clhicer for the candidates of their cholee, All the previons night the place was in posses- aonof & mob of white men, dancing in the Court-llourc and yelling everywhere. From daslight until 10 o'clock the black men’s voll- ing-place, 8o called, was surrounded by at least 300 ‘mounted men, sume on horses, some on mules, some with Confederate uniforms trim- med with yellow, all with red shirts, and obey- Ing the cammands of * Gen.” Gary, who, pistol in hand, yelled his orders to open or close ks, advance or retreat, as he would have done ha he been leading a febel regiment againet the men of the North in 1831, In nddition to the mounted men there were n large number dis- mounted, but ell armed, having the same pur- puse, and obeyingthe sanie orders as the mount- ed force. At 8:45 o'clock United States Deputy Marahal Beaty obtalned a company of United States In- fantry, under the cummand of Capt. Kelloze, who detulled a squad of four and afterward elght men, to open the way to the poll. Tuls squaid plerced the ranks of the “red-shirts™ who had packed thelr horses so closely together that the only apprunch to the windows, back of which was the ballothox, was under the bellies of thelr beasts, An alley, however, was made by the gallant ufficer, at fmminent rsk of his life and the lives of his men., Over the heads of the Hittle band fnnumerable plstols were held, Not aman of that drunken, foul-mouthed crew but bad his pistol fn band with his finger on the mn;G'r. ‘Thus elzht brave men, representing the United States, opened and kept open a nar- row pathway alon ed negro hud the the gauntlet. Every black or brown maun that essayed to reach the box through this threatening and furlous crowd was grected with opproblous epi- thets, such as only South Carollnians.can utter, sud which they Intcusified by interjecting every variety of Rebel yell. If otie unguanded word Ll tallen trom™ the lips of a colured man, a seene of carpage would have followed fright- lul to think of. Before the soldlers came on the . ground, several colored men had beco Deuten with i:ludgwna and the butts of plstols, Thelr forbearance, however, wus beyond all prajse. On ruucblng’ the bux the iortunate voter found a white man named Shepard etand- Ing guard over it, who with bis sinister eyes ci- deavored to look the poor uegro into such a statc of terror that he began to axk himsclf whethier the poor privilege of actlng for a few short moments the part ol an Atnerican citizen was worth the risk hefran. The gauntict buing safely run, the colored voter was then # put throiigh ™ o long trivolons catccnism—eo minute that at the close ‘of the polls several,, hundred of the colored Rc;:ubllcana hed falicd even to cume in sight of the ballot-box. Tais wats the “ Misel<sippl plan,” carried to a demee flr plc{rtccllou not excelled even by Vicksburg self. B In the nfternoon, the whites having done all the voting and repeating nt poll No. 1 which was regurded as necessary to aceompllan their cnds, 1t wus suggested that the crowd of anxious colored men at No. 2 should go there to vote. Some cazayed so to do, but every avente was 8o carcfully guarded that unless they had crept between the legs of the hurses they would have found no way of approach. In other por- tions of the distifct similar and even worse seenes were enacted, At Coopersville the mana- gers were aseaulted and run ellby 12 o'clock. At nnother polling-place both the manager ond the United States Supervisors were put to tlizht a quarter of an hour before the time for ouening the polls, At arother the Democratlc manager got exclusive porsession of the box, and re- tafped it Jong euough to bring about the curious result of giving a large Democratic majority at & poll where ten black” Republicans had votud to one white Democrat. By these, and similar nefarious ways, the Democrats inade a majority of over 8,000 in a district where there ure not that number of legal voters, all told. Itis significant of one of the metiods employed, that in the Stato of Georgla, which this district abuts, there were 30,000 less votes cust at this election than at the last. They were sent fnto Bouth Carolina and Florida.” The villainy of which this 18 but a poor outline will, I have reason to believe, be Iullg cstublished by the reports to be nade both by the United States Murshals and the officersnf” thesregul on duty at the various points. LOUISTIANA. THE RETURNING NOARD, Special Dispatch 1o The Tridune, New OrLEaNs Nuv, 24,~0 p, in.—The business before the Returning Board to-day conssited for the most part in hearing docuinents, pro- tests, and affidavits read, and-was generally of an unhnportant character. It is probable that the time of the Board will be thus occupled for some time to come, as the amount of evidenco which will bo brought before it is voluminous, It 18 Mkely that the declsion of the Boand as to contested polls will be reserved after hearing evidence untll they shall bave lad time to give it mature consideration. Possibly the declsions in aoll cases may be rendered at one and the eamo time. The deliberation of the Board can- not extend beyond the 6th prox, TIE LEGISLATURE, Gov.

Tho correspondent of the New York Jerald, who was, In common with uther correspondents and the general publiv, donled tho privitege of befng present at the executive sessio of the Returning Board, address- ed a grandiloquent letter to ‘that body fu which he threatened them, to use his own words, “with the just resentment of the great journal ¥ which he had “the honor to represent, und through which the most power- ful Governments, huyo been accustomed to ud- dress the publie.” He subscquently calledu wmeeting of correspondents, which wus not at- tended by representatives of elther Tus Cute cago TrisuNE, Cluclunati Commerclul, Gazette, or Z¥mes, or any otber firstclass Republican paper except ono or two, who wers cither roped 1n or attended through curiusity, and A RESOLUTION WAS ADOITED that It was essentlal that they showid be admit- ted..

This rule does not prevent eatire publicity of everything which takes place I the Bourd,us both the Republican and Democratic Comniittees have stenographers present who tuko down every word, sud thy As- sociated Press furnishes a very full report.

That the bulldozers uf Ouachita Parish have not confiucd thelr labors to simply carrying the election, but have so got in the habit of buildozing that they fecl.as though they must keep it up, Is borne out by abusiness letter re- ceived from Monroe, dated the 224, Itsays: Weo have eome wounded partics here.
