Colcmbia, 8. C, Dec. 10.- For some days there
have been rumors of a negro conspiracy in tbe
neighborhood of Lowudesville, on the Georgia side
of Abbeville Comity. On flie 4th inst. two men
were shot at from the roadside, it is said, by ne?
groes. The rifle clubs wer?* at ?nee aroused and the
whole country thoroughly raided. Many white
men have been arrested. One lot of ten colored
prisoners, while on the way to jal, were shot to
death. The greatest terror exist? throughout Ihe
country. It looks very much like another Ham?
burg affair. _
A DISPATCH TO THE TRIEUSE FROM SEN?
ATOR CORDON.
AN ELOQUKNT KTATBr.IK.NT OK THK I.KMOCRATIC
SIDE OF THF. SOITII CABOLINA COX?R0VKR8Y.
To ihe Editor of Ihe Tribune.
sik: I thank you for permission to answer Gov.
Chamberlain's communication of the 4th inst. to
TiiK Trib.ne, in which he refa-rs to niy.self. How
"exact and faithfulr' are Gov. Chuml.e rluin's statc
_!? nt? will appear below. I take his dispatch iu do
tail:
First: Our complaint is not so much against the
direct action of army officers as against the placing
of the army under the control of l?ov. Chamberlain,
_ candidate, and of Dennis, his confederate.
Second: His "faithful statement" that the Dem?
?crata intended forcibly to posses? and hold the
hall on the night ba-fore tbe Legislature met is abso?
lutely groundless. The truth is, they had full pos?
session in caucus and adjourned at 9 or 10 o'clock
that night, leaving no Democrat in or about the
State House. Gov. Chamberlain's Unita-d Mata.s
troops took possession in two or three hours alter
the Democrat? aaljourned.
Third: His "faithful statement" that ho bad not
?State force to carry out his programme is a most
suggestive acknowledgment in the face of the fol?
lowing trut lis: He has had all Republican j ml tres,
everyone in the State, elected by the Republican
Legislature. His Legislature bad refused to pro
ride, as tha* Constitution ia quire?, for the election of
justices of the peace by the people, and given him
power to appoint trial justices from his own parti?
sans instead, every one of whom he has appointed
in every district in the Slate. He claims twenty
thousand majority of Republicans in the Stale. He
has in the entire militia not. a white militia com?
pany in the State. Even the rifle clubs were all
dUbanded. He had by law control of the police of
every city. He had by law the .State constabulary,
with unlimited power to appoint as assistants and
arm every Repaidican and every Democrat in tho
Sute. At the very time he dated his dispatch this
constabulary was in the State House with Unit.-d
State? troops, and is now in the State House admit
tiug whom and refusing whom it pleas, s. With all
this force Gov. Chamberlain cannot k?*ep tho i?ea?*t*.
Gov. Hampton can do so with no force except the
civil tribunals and public opinion.
Fourth: Mr. Chamberlain's "faithful statement"
that no person holding the certificate of the Bet MO
tary of State was at any time rcfuocal admission to
tbe State Emm or hull will be properly appreciated
when it is known that, in company with Jetl?ies ami
Peak, members from Union County holding said cer?
tificates, I stood by and heard the corporal of the
?guard refuse and state that no man could enter
without a pass from Dennis or Jones, holding no
official position. Ja?*. L. Orr, B. F. Sh.an, and J. 8.
Verner, who held certificates from the Secretary of
State, applied to the guard at the door for admit?
tance. The corporal asked what tliey wanted. They
replied, "We are ineuib?-rs of the legislature and
want to go to the hall." He immediately replied,
"You can't come in," and slammed the door in their
faces. When the tiret D?mocratie member succeeded
in entering the hall he found the llo.ise without a
quorum, already organi/.etl, aud Man key in too
ebair. Thise f*ct_ will lie established by sworn
statements of members and of as good men aa are in
the I'limn.
Ptfth : As to the power of Junes, the former clerk,
to exclude whom he pleased, and as to the .duty of
the military to enforce his orders, it is sufficient to
?ay that sinrb a rule applied to all tho States would
?take voting useless and government by the people
a mockery.
Sixth : Gov. Chamberlain appeals to court?
toil lawyers to sustain his extraordinary assart ions
that the members from Edga-ficld and Laurens couu
tiaa had no valid certificate?. If he will refer to the
decision? of bis own Supreme Court, both as recently
declared in its judgment as to the j-oiistitutionulity
of tho Wallace House and former judgment in 1874
m to the sufficiency of county canvassers, returns
when the State Board refuses to perform its duty, ho
will be estopped from further appeal. These Edge
fia-id members had not only the certified judgment
of the court hut the county cauvassera' returns,
Which the court nearly three years ago declared suf
cient Even the Supreme Court of the United
fkates feels it-self bound by the decisions of
the State Supreme Courts in all matU-rs of
?tonstruction of the State laws. In the case of Lef
Unwell against Warren, Doeeothee term, 1802, the
United State* Supreme Court says: "The construc?
tion given to a statute by the highest judicial tri?
bunal of such State is regarded as a part of the
?tatute, and is as binding upon the courts of the
United States as the text. If the highest judicial
tribunal of a State adopt new views a? to the proper
t0?')!niction of such statute and reverse? ita former
?viaioiis, this court will follow the lateat settled
?djii-icatioii." It ia difficult to conceive of language
stronger or more pointed. The Supreme Court of
Bnith Carolina, I think, stands exceptionally well
*ith the United States Supremo Court, none of it? j
?wision?, I believe, ever having been reverted upon
??Peal to the latter court.
But, binding a? are the decisions of the court upon
**n tbe Supreme Court of the United States, npon
1**?tiona involved in the controversy, they are not
?*Bad*-ed by Gov. ChamWlain as binding npon
?j01 or his co-conspirators. Gov. Chamberlain's
**a of a quorum of the House is the et-sence of ab
?^'ty If the plain declaration? of tbe State Cou
totutioD and the uniform decision? ot courts ?re of
**y ?consequence ; and his employ meut of force to
*?**?*?*? hi? own ?ediet superior to these would be
T***? b> any State where the Conatitution and
??W? availed against the lawless purpose of a eon
?*??? of citi___* Art. II., bee 4, of Ute State Coa
stitiition says : "Tho House of I>*eprcsent..ti ves shall
consist of 124 members." Be?, 14 says : " A niaior
ity of each House shall constitute a quorum." Tho
?Supreme Court, in deciding that the Wallace, House
had a constitutional (luorum, say tliis is no new
question. I?nt the same court decided tha? a major?
ity of 124 mendiera constitufed i quorum in a
former case, and not a majority of 110, as decided
by Gov. Chamberlain. This derision waa given in a
case not political, and when the court and i'ov.
Chamberlaiu were in accord. What injustice, there?
fore, to pretend the curt was biased in it? judg?
ment !
In tho present ease Guv. Chamberlain was de
fi-aled by tin- fair, legal vote ot the peojile, eounte?!
in by a House which had not legal existomc, sivorn
m by a court ollicer whose term of aflea had expired
and in de.lianee of an ordinance which jK.sitnrly re?
quires the oath to be administered by the Chief-Jus?
tice or Associnte Justice of the Supreme Court, and
he commands the army to support this pretense and
fraud of a title. It is not surprising that lu- oliject*
to dispatches which acquaint the American people
with the stthversion of civil government toy the
army under his orders. When court? are defied at:d
rvpresentalives convene and receive orders from the
briirailier-ireneral comma tiding both army and tin:
Legislature, and the people of the North approve it,
all we can say is that n publican government is ?
failure. In South Carolina not only its substance is
gone, but civil liberty is denied even decent burial
under the forms of civil law. Such are the fuis
winch the people ?)f the United States must face in
187?. J. B. GoitDoN.

rush was maiio by tho pa-roplo lu Flatbush-ave. to reach
Kood paisttlons along tho new rout?. After running for a
considerante distance, this crowd came to the conclusion
that they had been deceived, and ran back by various
routes toward Plxth-ave.
The general uppcaranco of the city of Brooklyn on
Saturday was somber. The business street? were de?
serted, especially during the afternoon, and all
tho stores, with the exception of m few liquor
saloons, were closed from 1 to 5 p. m. Tbe City
Hall, Court-bouse, Post-Oftlce, and other publie build?
ings bore heavy drapings of crape. The theaters and
many privat? establishment? were also festooned with
tokens of mourning, aud flags at half-mast were to be
seen In all paru of the city. Tho ruins of the burned
theater wore especially suggestive of death. All through
the day the wlual moaned through tho boles of the ret
standing cupola, now and then teailng down a brick or
two, and often threatening the whole of the structure.
At the top was a portion of tho flag pole, and half way
to the top of this the stars and stripes, ra-dueeal by the
wind to a mere rag, fluttered, the signal of distress, from
uioruiug until night
tub rnocEssioB.
Delay at the Morgue-, caused In part by a last effort to
Identify bodi s still left there, made tbe undertakers late,
and It waa 1:50 o'clock before the order was given for
the procession to move. The mounted squad of police,
led by Sergeant Johnson, rode to tbe front, and In the
following order the long procession marched toward tbe

Tho elements sounded a hmd dirge about the cold

the cemetery will never forget the wllitncs? of tbe
scene. Private funeral processions arrived at luterval?
dnrlnar tbe bit- morning hours. At 1 o'cloek people

In considerable numbers. Between 1 and 2 o'clock the

Tho memorial services at the Brooklyn Academy of
Music, under the auspices of the City Government, were
attendeal by one of tho largest audiences ever seen at
that place, not less than 0,(X?0 people gathering at tbe
doorways, many uf whom turned away w hen they saw
the crowded conditiou of the house. When the hour

Owing to the lack of timo in which suitably to drap?
the hall, no Attempt was made at funeral decoration,
wltb the exception of a cushion of white flowers with
the word " Rest," in purple, in tho center, which wa?
placed on a stand at tbe front of the platform. Tha
audience waa composed of Brooklyn's best cltisena. aud
the exercises were marked by an impressive and sub?
dued solemnity rather than by violeut manifestations of
sorrow. The speakers one and all urged attention to
the needs ot the surviving relatives of the dead
as paramount to the dUnlay of grief, and the
vast audience aeemed Inipreescd wltb this aspect
of tho culamlty. The patbetio eloquence of Drs.
Storrs and Duryea, when tbe former referred to tbe
duty to tbe living, and the latter appealed for an equal
chance for life for the poor man lu the gallery with tbe
occupant of the drees circle, was received wltb outbursts
