The Rt'pulilicans in the Lower House of Mm
South ('anilina _4gWaft_N keep their full
rtrenfrth of ?r>i>. The Democrat ic. orRanization
?applied to the Secretary of State for the
election return? on Governor, but found
they had already been fient to the LegUatae.
In Florida a Democratic pi*ecinct was thrown
out because the Dem?crata ?topped an eini
grant train and the pa-.-eiiKe.rs voted. Nothing
of interest developed iu i-iouisiana, except lhat
Oov. Pah-ner, ei-Gov. Bigler, and Mr. Smith
bod come to the opinion that the Ouachita
outniK??? waa n??t of political origin. The Re*?
publicun witiiisses testified clearly that it was
of political origin. It is now said that Mr.
Randall i? G?v. Til'lcn's choice toe Speaker of
the House, and that he will insist on *he
XXHd joint rule being now in force.

Washim.tov, Nov. 29.--T._i?? whole question as to
the Speakership appears to depend npaa Gov. Til
dcn'ti decision. Instead of tin? caucuses in committee
rooms and hotel parlors, tho no'.sy adv??fncy of tlie
claims of ?litTcniit candidates in places whore Con
grossmen resort, an?l the seci"t t,ratl:erin_s f<?r com?
binations and pipe-laying wliuli always precede the
?eleafeiou of a man for this _tgh office, ,. curious
.ilctico everywhere prevails. Everybody so? ins t?>
be wnititiK f??r Ott Democratic dictator to ainiouiico
the coming man. Now a rumor sut ??ads that it is to
be Mr. Kaudall, and nov? that Mr. Cox or Mr. Say
ler has been chosen. Whenever tlie -??ssips of the
rtreet and the hotels ___W that this or lhat candi
i_t? has (???on selected the friends of the Mipposed
insuciessfiiI applicant? for Ihc Rieat man's favor
?low a disposition to i?utiniit that is praiscwoithy
for it? meekiuss, whatever may be said of its lack
of spirit. The Republicans, who would like above
?11 things to see a lively fi^ht over the prize, are dis?
gusted at the prosjK ? t.
To-night current opinion has settled upon the
idea that Oar, Tilden has already made up his mind
and that Mr. Randall is his candidate. No expres?
sion to this etTect has been wormed out of the I'eiin
.ylvania ineinlicr himself ; but his pon?ateni advo?
cacy of the theory that the 2_d Joint Rule is still in
force {rives sufficient foundation for the NfOrl He
wm? tho first prominent Demonrat to take this
ground publicly, and sine?) it becomes more and
in >re evident that tho whole Domocratie proirraiutne
for captur?is; the Prcsidetncy hinges upon this point,
the probability of Got, Tilden putting him forward
become? exn edingly ?Strong. If t!ie rule ?s dead, as
all Republicans maintain, then there is no power in
the House to reject the returns from Florida and
Louisiana. The House mut th. ______ insist upon
the vitality of the ruh? or uivo up tho (?unie.
No matter how absurd the theory may he
that a joint rule can bind the Baaata when
that body refuses to recogiii/.o Ha exist? nee, the
theory must be maiiitain.??l, an.l Mr. Randall will !.??
just the man to maintain it. His _TguaM_1 is that,
ilia-much as the as-cut of U?th Houses was neces
siry to make the rule, it cannot, be unmade, without
tbe same assent. What Mr. Tilden no doubt wants
is _ Speaker who will vehemently and persistently,
iu order or out of order, aaaert the vitality of tho
rulo in the joint convention to count the \??tes, ami
who will lead the Democrats in any move he may
?1. termine upon a? most likely to win tho itaaatat?
fame.
A report has prevailed of late that Gar. Tilden
nraiis to ilesi'-'iinte his own trusted lieutenant, Mr.
Hewitt, for this difficult post. It dots not iiud many
believers her?', liteau-.?'most |Kople think that Mr.
11 uitt has not the peculiar ?lualitications af Mr.
Bandall for ihe critical business in hand. Howes ? i,
the conclusion of the whole matter about the Sju-ak
ership up to ?late is that trust worthy information
mint besotu'ht iu Grumeriy l'uik, New-York, and
not in Washington.

Ifapli to Uov. Hayes to withdraw is answered by the

himself :
1 may have had casual conversation with the editor of

'*)?t I thlDk the solution of the queHfion is for (luv.

these |H?oplc h:ive all come here for a purpose, and
however closely tIn v may be cross-examined, they
never forget thjft purpose,whu It is to piafa one side
or the other of the controversy. Hut the visitor
who actually goes into one of those parishes with B
desire to find out tin- truth, will certainly discover
it. Politicians on the OSM side or the other may

Shortly after this, two negroes who w.-r.? -< ensed of

the nply, "bul they sasin t.vered."
" Did they have any inllm'iice in itulncing the ne?

" 1 don't know. I think the negroes generally

I asked Mr. Hoiran if at any tune iliirin?- the cam
pai(.n there had been a rei?n of terror 0_M_0J Ott

were afraid to sleep at home or to ft out at. ninht.

at in the day-time while sitting on his porch. These
people, who were all Democrats, believed that the

Tlie colored Ilcinociats frotn Oiiachita are iinnni
U10U8 in their testimony that the el.'ction in that

that it was true that a coloted constable. Hen Jam.s,

on tlie ni?ht before el?cl ion was isliot and woundad,
and the result was that no polls were opalad at Loir
town. ?Iames Wpa taken into Monroe on election
(lav. Bj the laws of this State cha tors have the
ri_lit to vote nt any poll in the parish in wliich tin y

Mini-ne for this imrpose on tho day hefoie election,
but mi lhearriv.il of several hundred of them tliere
(he Mayor issued a proclamation M__a__g them to

and dispersed the tutrioi's. Mr. lloaran has no per?
sonal ?knowledge that Monroe waaaanoaadad by a
line of ; ii k? I i/uants to prevent n? i/roes from piiii??

The readers of Tiik TitilusK may draw their own
conclusions iro.'ii these tacts. For myself. I believe
that a state of ______ similar to this which Mr. Bo?
