THE POLITICAL TANGLE Startling Statements Before the Senate Committee. THE OREGON CHECK. Colonel Pelton and the Eight Thou- sand Dollars, HEWITT UNDER A CLOUD Pinchback Declares the Nicholls Government Established. LOUISIANA. BREAUX, WHEELER AND DEMAS GO OVER TO THE DEMOCRATIC SENATE—HAMLET AND WEBER LEAVE THE REPUBLICANS—PINCH- BACK I8SUBS AN ADDRESS DECLARING THE NICHOLLS GOVERNMENT LEGITIMATE. [BY TRLRGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) New Onueaxs, Jan. 18, 1877. The only new development to-day is the accession of Yhree Senators to the Democratic Senate, Breavx, Wheeler and Demas, and the additional defection of two, Hamlet and Wober, trom tho republican Senate. ois not only breaks the republican quorum, bat gives the democrats a quorum of Returning Board Senators, with the exception of Breaux. The transfer was effected by ‘Pinchback, who, to-morrow, issues an address as Chairman of the Repubiican Stste Committee, member of the National Committee, &c., giving in his adnesion to the Nicholls government as the Icgitimate governmeat and announcing his belief in its fair election, The appearance of the new members on the floor was hailed with uproarious ap- plause; each made a speech in which they justified their change of heart, and the session closed in tri- ‘amphant hilarity. THE SUPREME CIVIL COURT. The military situation continues the same. An at- tempt was made to revive the Supreme C@yil Court in the State House to-day, Judge Shaw being in pos- session of the minutes and seal, but as it is not recog. nized by the Sheriff its existence is at best question- able, GUARDING THE COURT HOUSE. The democrats still maintain strong guards at tho court houses and different police stations, but expross the opinion that the Packard government will molt away by Tuesday, when they expect to be relieved trom duty. BREAKING THE COLOR LIX. ‘The accession of the rew membors of the Senate was the result of a negotiation made through Messrs. ‘Wilts and Pinchback. Thelatter made a demand tor bis friends, and received in the presence of the Senate @written assurance from Governor Nicholls that his ~ adminutration, particularly in its course toward tho @olored race, will be in strict accordance with his Speech pronounced on accepting the nomination at Baten Rouge. Pinenback and his friends, who aro all teGvential with their race, regard this action as finally breaking the color line in Louisiana, and it will doubt- Jess have heavy woight with the negrocs who still @ling to the Packard House. Tho ropublican leqdora ere still busy in working up a record of all the law potnts of the case for transmission to Washington, ‘upon which, apparently, their only hopes now centre. Casey left this evening, direct for Washington, after fully posting bimeelf with rogard to the situation. As bis associations while bere were principally with tho @omvcrats it is not thought his arrival at Washington ‘Will aid the Packard cause to any groat extent. LOOKING TO WASUINGTON FOR COMFORT, At ten o’elock to-night everything is quiet at the State House and the garrisun is very gloomy. Some pemong them Packard, still wear a firm bearing. Thor @nly nope seems now centred in Attorney General ‘Tait’s despatch requesting « full statement of their case, and another despatch, just received from Con- gteseman Hale, teliing Packard if he will hold out twenty-four hours Grant will recognize him, SENATE AND HOUSE INVESTIGATION.

[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD. | Conumaia, Jan, 13, 187 To-day, in view of developments that have tak place regarding the State election, which go clearly to establish the election of the democratic State ofliciais, these gentlemen sent the following notitication and de- mand to the republican officials at the State House:— State Sourm Carouna, Exxcutive Cuamans, Couuauta, 8. C., Jan. 13, 1847, ing been elected to the office of —— of tho —— for the State of South Carolina at the genoral election, held on the 7th of November last the office from you and require you tod sion of the samo within twenty-four hours trom dat Your fail to deliver theofiice or siynify your reat ness to do so within that time will bo regarded as a refusal, Yours respectiully, This note wus carried to the State House by a special messenger, who, having signified to the special con- stabulary at tho door that he had important business to transact with the State officers, was admitted. He first called upon tho colored Secretary of State, Hayne, who, upon reading the note, remarked that an answer required reflection, f&. B, Elhott, the colored Attorney General, received the letter, but said he was too busy to attend to it, and the others took it under Consideration, It is understood that this formal de- mand for the possession of the offices is merely pre- paratory and essential to quo warranto procee¢ ings in the Supreme Court. It was sent by the democrats claiming to be clected to the offices of Secretary of State, Treasurer, Comp- troller Goneral, Adjutant General and Inspector General, Attorney General and Superintendent of Edu- cation to the republicans claiming to be elected to tho same offices and now pretending to exercise the tunc- tions of these offices. PRDERAL TROOPS IN THE STATE HOUSE, A company of United States soldiers 1s still kept in the State House, occupying the anteroom of Governor Chamberlain’s office as quarters, The opinion ex- pressed here is that these seldiers are thero under a misconstruction of orders. Goneral Ruger in the be- ginning had no authority to take possession of the State House and exclude all persons indicated by Cham- berlain’s minions, and that officer tacitly admitted afterward that his orders had been misinterpreted. Since the President has so positively refused to recog- nize either government in Louisiana, and instructed General Augur to preserve the peaco only, it is pre- sumed that be certainly intended a similar course here. Perhaps an inquiry at the War Department would ex- plain by whose authority the troops are still kept in the State House, OREGON ELECTION INQUIRY. YESTERDAY'S SESSION OF THE SENATE COMMIT- TEE— INVESTIGATION _OF THE OREGON ELEC- TION TROUBLE "MOK REVELATIONS 48 TO THE EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS, 2 Wasuineton, Jan, 13, 1877.

The etrike of the operative potters in this city cone tinues, and the excitement over it increases, The strikers hold mass mvetings every day in Freese Hall, | where resolutions are adopted proclaiming in the pith “No surrender,”” No ill feeling 18 manifested toward the manufacturers personally, except ina few cases, where it is claimed the bosses aro ‘vad men.’? Jobo Brammer, Joho D. McCormick, George Baddely, John £, Welsh, Michael Hoar, Thomas Waldron and Joseph Lawton leaa the movement. They are the spokesmen of their fellow workmen. Thero i# a complete suspension of work in all of the thirteen | pottories, which represent about 2,000 oporu- tives, young and old, malo and fomale, The alleged” grievance is that the reduction in wages proposea by the bosses—thirty per cont—is too touch, that no notice had been given of it betorebaud aud that the manulacturers are as well abletu pay the san rate of Wages now us they were ten years ago, price of coul, chemicals, and everything else used Jn the :aanufactul pottery ware bas been reduced over 100 per cent, while the valuo of wares bas pot decreased more’ than twenty-tive per cont. They claim, aiso, that the manufacturers in this country get ‘about 100 per cent more for their wares than foreign manufactui receive, and that operatives are better par their labor | m England than those in this coun The strikers are determined to hold out until the bosses re-establish | tue old scale of prices, and as the former have a large | amount of money in the treasury of their union to heip | thove 1m want it is feared that they will not re- | linquish their detormination On tho other hand the busses say they will not yield, aud that they are in & position to bold out longer than the strikers can, The city is in went over the trouble, and it is the all absorbing topic of conversation, To-day another mass meeting was beld, when ad. dre ‘were di y Thotmas Waldron and other operatives in the same spirit as beretotore.
