It was intended to have had a regular review, by the general of the army, of the troops stationed there, and extensive arrangements for the purpose had been made. Little was known of the fact outside of that plave. When the hour for the review arrived, how ver, a drenching rain fell, and it was deemed expedient to hold the inspection in the men’s quarters. The battalion went through with the manual and parade drill. PeRsonaL.—Mrs. Eliza Anderson, widow of Gen.

INTERVIEW WITH COL. WM. A. COOK. Colonel Wm. A. Cook, of this city, who was present last week In Columbia, South Caro- Lina, to witness the proceedings there in ref- erence to the cavass of the voie of the state and the legal proceedings in relation thereto, returned to the eity on Saturday morning: In reference to the condition of affairs there, he says that there is a deep feeling in both of the political parties and manifest inclination to violence. To-morrow being the day for the organization of the legislature, it is re- ported and generally betieved that there will be in Columbia a very large force of the or- ganization known as “RIFLE CLUBS,” who will be prepared tomake a move to cap- tare the state house and offices at a precon- certed signal. Thore are, however, now in Columbia 606 to 500 U.S. troops, acting as in- fantry, and Mr. Cook believes that the scope of their duty will be to prevent any violence about the state house. In answer to an in- quiry as to whether there was no armed or- xanization in the other (republiead) party, Col. Cook said: ‘There is at least no armed organization. THE MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE, with the exception of those from Edgefield and Laurens the former county having 5 and the latter 3 representatives - will meet and organize to-morrow. The full house is composed of 124 members, and leaving these two counties out there will be but 116, and the republicans will have a majority, and the house, when it acts on the admission of dele- gates from Laurens and Edgefield, will neces- sarily decide in fayor of the republican can- didates. Mr. Cook says that the question for to-mor- row is the orgayization of the legislature, and upon this body will devolve the election of governor and other officers, and whichever party secures the organization will secure the governorship. Col. Cook regards the ques- tion as to the vote of the state for President and Vite President as being settled, for the republican electors already have in their hands their certificates of election. THERE MAY BE TWO LEGISLATIVE ORGAN- IZATIONS, and it is understood that the troops will not interfere with the democrats, except to pre- vent violence. As to the inauguration of governor there is no specified time for the ceremonial to take place, nor is it necessarily a public one; so both of the candidates may vo through the form of taking the reins of govermnent, and it is probable that there will be no trouble. Col. Cook says in relation to THE IMPRISONMENT OF THE CANVASSERS, that it is probable that an application will be made for a writ of ha corpus in the U. 8. cirenit court, and Judge Bond is now there. On the hearing on the writ a_ motion will be made for their discharge, on the ground that they have been committed in relation to a matter with the federal govern- ment, and for the purpose of enabling the state court and others to control their action in relation to questions in which the U.S. government is interested, viz: The selection of electors, members of Congress and a U. 8.

Robinson, late Assistant Quartermaster in the United States Army, was on trial yester- day in the United States District Cont, before Judge Blatchford. United States Attorney Bliss appeared for the Government and E. Moore for the defendent. In this suit. the Government sought to recover an alleged in- debtness of $50,550.53.

The Supreme Court Saturday afternoon took the order under advisement requiring the board of sate canvassers to make com- parison of the rejurns of county canvassers and the returns of precinct managers in the cases of Presidential electors, and will render a decision to-day. The court declined to is- sue an order giving certificates to mem! of the lezislature from Edgefield and Laurens counties, refused by the board, but stated that such members could obtain a copy of the from the clerk of the court, which would be equivalent to a certificate. THE STATE CANVASSERS IN JAIL. The five members of the board of canvas- Sers who were constructively arrested Satur- day morning reported at the jail Saturday evening, where they are now confined. Their names are F. L. Cardoza, treasurer; T. C. Dunn, comptroller; General Wm. Stone, at- torney PT . KE. Hayne, secretary of state, and H. W. Purvis, ex-adjutant and in- spector general, comprising the board of can- vassers. It is understood that efforts will be made to have Judge Bond, United States Judge. re- lease the rd of canyassers upon a writ of habeas corpus. They are, however, still in jail, and ho action of the character men- tioned has yet been taken. LOUISIANA. In executive session the returning board on Saturday called for the returns, and an- nounced the following vote from consolidated statements: De Soto, Hayes, 898, Tilden, 1,305. Ouachita, ates 793; Tilden, 1,869. Lincoln, Hayes, Xi1; Tilden, 1.064. East Feliciana, i Hayes, 0; Tilden, 1 West Feliciana, Hayes, 778; Tilden, 1 Richland, Hayes, Hi; Tilden, K0. Caddo, Hayes, 2,681; Ti jen, 1,654. Sabine, Hayes, 23; Tilden, 906. The votes of these parishes were not canvassed, there being contests which are fixed for hear- ings this week. When the returns from parishes marked “contested” were opened democratic counsel were allowed to be pre- eae hogs re ie! Bei —_ parish were brought in, and contained in one package sealed with wax. When the seal was broken by a member of the board there were found inside a consolidated statement of the vote, the commissioners’ statements and tally sheets. A SENSATION. Attached (o the returns were a large num- ber of protests and affidavits. The secretary of the hoard said the package had been re- ceived on the 18th instant, and such an ent was in his receipt book. The returns, he said, had come by mail. In course of an inspec- tion it was discovered that one of the protests of the supervisors, charging general tntimi- dation, was dated November 25, and sworn to in this city before a commissioner of the cireuit court. When called upon to explain how a protest dated the 26th instant could get into a sealed registered package received by mail on the isth instant, the secretary said he had received two packages. He was detected hy one of the democratic counsel present in the act of making another entry in his book of two packages received. After some delay another package was pro- duced, and found'to contain a consolidated Statement of the votes and commissioners’ returns, but no protest or affidavits. The members of the board were unable to explain the matter, and Senator Sherman, of the re- publican visiting committee, remarked that there was no use to disguise the fact that re- turns had been opened and protests inserted after the package of returns had been re- ceived. ‘The affair created quite a sensation among the members of the committees present. The members of the democratic committee were very outspoken in the opinion thata fraud had been perpetrated, and the republicans did not deny that the affair had a very peculiar aspect. The democratic council say that a similar thing has oceurred in the case of other parishes, but as they are not admitted until to-lay, there was no opportunity to ciscover the frauds, FLORIDA, The boant of canvassers received notifica- tion Saturday morning from the Secretary of State, who is exoficio a member of the board, and charged with calling it together, that they must meet at 12 e’clock (Woon) Menday, tocanvass the vote of the state. The judge has not yet decided the injunction and man- damus cases now pending before him, and this action of the board seems to obviate the necessity of a decision, as this will be doing precisely what the democratic managers prayed the court to command to bedone. hoard will admit a committee of five from each of the political parties and the chairmen of the two State committees to its decisions. The decision as to the admission of newspa- = correspondents has not yet been made. he official returns are now allin. The re- sult will hardly be reached before the 6th day of December, when by the laws of the United States the electors’ certificates must be issued. OREGON. A Portiand, Oregon, dispatch denies that any application has been made to the courts for an injunction restraining the issuance of a certificate of election to Watts, republican elector. The democrats boggg po that such action will be taken. e republicans are confident that the certificate cannot be legally withheld. It is reported on good au- thority that Wigginton, democrat, will con- test the election of Pacheco, republican, for Congress in the 4th district of Callfornia. A San Francisco Chronicle special from Port- land, Oregon, says an intimate friend of Gov- ernor Grover asserts that he will not give Watts a certificate of election. conse! doubt the report. Cronin, the democrat: elector who received the highest vote, stated recently that he would not —— the ap- pointment if Watts was thrown out.

What Jadge Bond Says Indge Bond has addressed a leuer to the Baltimore American, in which he says “The board of slate canyassers has never been advised by me. I have never seen them.

No one has applied to the circuit court of this district for any action in rela- tion to the recent election. If any person does so apply, and there is a statute for it, he shall have relief; if there be no statate, he must seek bis remedy elsewhere. If it be thought unreasonable that where a circuit court was about to be held, at an expense of nearly one thousand collars daily, that I should anticipate its session in order to ar- range its business to make the term as short as possible, I'do not coincide with the objec on.
