Ibr I_l.KUK.III TO TUB IBISSBB I Washington, Dec. 0.?A dispatch waa received here to-day from Columbia stating that one of the electors of that State, a colored man, had bceu altered $ 10,000 in ca_e ho would sell his vote to Tilden. This report receives a remarkable continu? ation from a dispatch from New-York to a promi? nent Republican here, which says that U-lcgruuis went over the wires this morning to a leading Dem? ocrat in that city which gave rise to the belief that an attempt waa to be made to buy one of the South Carolina electors. This matter no doubt will be fully investigated at Columbia. ANGRY THREATS IN WASnLNGTON. "HOTUING FOR DEMOCRATS EXCEPT TO TAKE MIS SETS ?"?MORKIKON PREDICTS WAR. IBT TBLK.KAFH TO TUB TK1BDHB.I Washington, Dec. 6.?Bitter disappointment pre? vailed among the Democrats in the House to-day when they learned that tho vote of Florida had been declared for Hayes. They had counted so con? fidently on the success of measures which they be? lieved had been taken to secure this State that many of them celebrated last night in a convivial way the victory which they thought already gained. The news to day, continued about 1 o'clock, threw them into a state of great excitement. They gathered in groups about their leaders and for over an hour discussed the situation among themselves in a way that was anything except calm or wise. Many threatening remarks were made. One member, for example, said that "There is nothing now for Demo srats to do except to buy muskets." Mr. Morrison, the Democratic leader, had, whiio in New Orleans, predicted to Gen. Garfield that people would be cutting each other's throats within a hundred days, and to-day ho walked over to Gen. Garfia-ld's seat ami after asking if he had signed the Louisiana report said, " You remem? ber the prediction I made in New-Orleans." Gar field replied that he did, but that he hoped that Mr. Morrison had changed hi? mind by this time. '* On the contrary," said Mr. Mori i-ou, "I repeat my pn dvtion and believe it more firmly now thau ever.' This conversation was not intended to be private, but it was so loud that a number of Republican, sitting near heard it. m SOUTH CAROLINA. TEN TH0U8AND FOR AN ELECTOR.

A HAYES ELECTOR REFUSES $100,000 FOK HIS VOTE?BOTH SKT8 OF EI ECTORS MEET. | BY TKLK-R-I-H TO THR Til Uli Ml.] New-Orleans, Dec. 6.?rIhe Democratic electoral candidates met in the I,v?, . ...ntativea?' Hall in the State House at 11:1' this morning, and went through the form of casting the vote of tho State f?Tildi*n. All were presen , and the ceremony oa eu Pied about three-quarters of an hour. At about noouGo7. Kellogg was informell of this uniting, ?nd ?eut for the Sorgcant-at-Anns of the last House, Mr. Flood, who had opened the room, and direeteal ton to close it. Mr. Flood replied that hi? l-a__ of office did not expire until the h*w House was organized, and that until ???hat time he was custodian of tho hall. Tho Gov* What then callad in the captain of police on duty ? the State House, and dira-cted him to close the Hall of Rep??. -?-tentatives, and to telegraph the police ?cadquarter? for 200 meu. Tlie captain interpreted this order to be one to clear the hall, and his ?otrance caused much excitement among the Demo Wats aasemblanl there. They told him that he might ??il up the doors, but that they would uot go out, *d would resist force, ss they bad a perfect right to J* present. Ou further consultation bet.voen the **ov-ruor and the captain of the police, it waa con? cluded that no foroe should be need. The Detno **ttc electors will aend their vote to Washington ?y Judge 8pofford, and it will be accompanied by *****-Wl_a__e of election issued by Mr. McEnery. Aftar Uiis little flurry of excitement, Gov. Kellogg ??a found in his office, with Ave others ol th? Re publican electors; Gen. Brooke, U. 8. A., in uniform ; U. 8, Marshal Pitkin, Attorney-General Steel, and Gen. McMillan, and ex-Gov. Wells and Gen. Ander? son of the Returning Board. Messrs. Drowsier and Levisee. two of the electors, hail not maale their ap? pearance. It seemed to be generally understood that? they should not do so, as there was some ques? tion about their eligibility, and that the remaining electors should fill the vacancy after waiting until 4 o'.lock. The Hayes electors did not gat thronph their dnties without some trouble. After a careful exam? in?t :on of tbo law tho conclusion was reached that Mr. Rrewster, who was Surveyor-General of the Laml Otlico in this Stata-, aml| Mr. Levisee, who was United States Commissioner when the election was held, were ineligible, and that the only safe course to pursue was for them to absent themselves from tho meeting of the electors and allow ihair places to be filled by the remainder. Rut at this point a new difficulty arose. Mr. Hivwwt.r and Mr. Levisee appeared and refused to absent themselves. They hold that they wero eligible, and they proposeal to be pr?sent. As the hour of 4 arrived, whin action must bs talo-ii, a compromise was maale. Tho two electors whoso eligibility was questioned speed to remain IHIIskhl tin- r-?-mi in which the college met, so that vacan? cies could bo dpclurcd, provided they should be chosen to fill tho vacancies cause?! by their own absence. This promamin?? was carried out, and so the Electoral College was made un of the men whose name? were voted for on the Republican ticket. After the vacancies were filled the electors pro p?'eila-tl to business with much jioinp and ceremony. A resolution was BSSSSd that tin- vote should bo open, and not Ik? taken by sea r.-l ballet WheB Mr. Levisee- nsaas was called he said tii.it lie hi il been ofiercd $100,000 to vota- for Tilden, but he prised llie privilege aif voting for Hayes higher. Win n he announced his vote he saial he voted for Hay? s l?c cause nobody had been killeil in scciiriu/- his chc tiou. Of course all sight votes were OBSt fur Hayes, Althoiieli at lir-af siirlit the cera-moiiy of electing men to the Beetees! CoHsgeto nil a vacancy ceased by their own ubsi-nec seems absind,it may, after all. settle the question as lo their eligibility. Hue men held Kedersl offices rse the 7th of November, sad wa-re therefore ineligible wha-n they wen- liist ap pointcd. Bises that time they have resigned, so that when liny were chosen to-day they were not Federal officers. THE PARISHES REJECTED. WnEUF. THK ELECTION WAS Nul PAS? AMi ITO'.E?

The parqaet, however, was only two-tbirds full, sad eootained L'-O men and women.

It was well for the safety of these thai tin ) were aot tlu-re. The inet of tha' boat-house, a canvas covering, saled tbe flies and drops of tbe stage from the OCton and iroiii the audience. About 11:20 o'clock, what is call-il the "moonlight cat-wood drops" took fire bom the second border light, a row of gas Jetaotretching serosa sad above and illuminating tbe middle pun of tin? stag- -rpaee.

The Indescribable panic among the audience lasted psssibly ten minutes. Confusion CoBowed .m confusion. Thomas Kochford, the head usher, tboaght of the doors opening on the alley. The one in tie- lobby he succeeded in opening. It was a BJBtS of deliv.-ranee to many. A few gallant men en? deavored to ?picll the panic, but human effort was vain. In less than a minute the passages were choki'd up, the theater was tilled with ehouta of maddened men and the piteous and frantic serran?a of women. Men forirot that they were trampling on their fellows, and. inditlerent to all hut their o?\ n safety, scrambled upw ard and outward. Hus? band became separated from wife or child aud friend from friend. The parquet was quickly emp? tied of all save those few who must have been trampled down and sufibcuted near the lobby. The fire had spread witb astouishiug rapidity from the proscenium to the ceiling of the dome, and the black smoke, drawn by a draft like.a steady wind, roll??! in upotrthe galleries and added another terror to the gasping men and women who, ?till free from the jam on the stairway, droppeal to the par? quet floor to perish in the heat and smoke. There waa great peril and loss of life on tho lobby stairs leading to the dress circle. The stream of people lioweal on swiftly, crushing some, carrying othora out on shoulalers from tho dress circle until a stout lady caught her foot at tho lauding in the stair-rail and fell. The way was blocked. Crushed and maimed men wero pila-d one above the other. Three policemen, one of them stripping off his coat, extri cateal the lady anl opened the way again. Tho-se who coulai extricuto themselves ran over a masa of prostrate Wings to the door. The gallery was tilled by young men and boya Tlie BSOBBe of egress were by a siparate, angular stairway. Hero tie panic was worst. A few got out in the first rush. A jam occurred at the second landni- above the lobby, and tho staircase was bar rn ruled by an inextricable mass. .Some jumped over the stair-rail, others dropped into the parquet. I!i-foro those not killed outright and those belaud could free themselves the stairs gave way and all fell inte the lobby, whioh b. turn went ?town. It was a headlong fall, tha crushed and bleeding men and women and boye bounal and wound into a .solid mass, were suffocated by the weight Bnd But smoke, Those who escaped this awful death, bruised anal maimed, and with clothing torn, scarcely knowing .how they came forth, all thought that nolx.aly was left to perish. Kvou in all the outside confusion which ensued, it ia surprising that the loss of a singlo human life was discredited and not alc-finitely known till almost three hours slier the lire broke out. Tiie excitement was intciisilieil from morning till night of yesterday as the magnitiiale of the calamity enforced itself by the bitter evidence on men's minds. The scenes at the Morgue and the old market where the char mi remains were taken were terrible. By night? fall it was bcliarved that moro than a hundred boilie.-i wen- ret to Is? exhumed. The work was con? tinued by the light of torche- and lanterns. It wss broueht out in the examination, instituleal by Fire Marshal Keady, that there were no facilities on tha btage for quenching lire.
