Show SOUTH CAKOMNA. Sew York, 27. A South Carolina correspondent of the New York Times j telegraphs from Columbia, 27, that j those who have been depending on Hampton's assertion that hia fight! has no connection with the electoral j coutest, aro likely to bo waked up to: a sense of the untrustworthy naturo of tho democratic evidence. This correspondent, as from the bogiuniug. asserts that the objectivo point uf bulldozing and bribery in this state was Ii.uen s election. In tho democratic programme all else would follow. The court, yeateiday, refused to gi'aut a motion to remove the ywo warranto case agaiust Hayes' electors to the United States circuit court, and! ordered the respondents to amend their answer by 11 o'clock this morning. morn-ing. Mr. Corbiii appeared aud denied that he had made any answer. He had made a motion to dismiss because of want of jurisdiction and to remove the case to the proper tribunal, the circuit court of the United Slates. Justice Wil'.ard undertook to assert that the motion was iu the nature of an answer aud that the court had bo acted upon it, and that it was now too late to demur to the jurisdiction of tho court. Corbiu very heatedly asserted that the court could not call that an answer which was a motion lo dismiss. After an angry colloquy ou the part of tho court, he was allowed till to morrow to amend. Judge Willard, during tho debate, said the whole course of respondent in tho aliases against the board ot canvassers, bad been calcu lated to bring the court and itsdeci- .: Ti,..t M, 31UU3 1I11U LUUlL JIJli ium anii result bad come may bo admitted, but it is to tho demoemtio lawyers Judgo Willard should look when he wania to find those who have pro- duced it. By carrying out their suggestions sug-gestions with absolute fidelity in spile uf lite law and of the facts, the court has indeed been reduced to its present low eot.it). Republican lawvcrs hero aro doubtful whether it is their duty, and for the good of I their cause, to continue the contest for electors before such a court. The was so evident to day that it seems a waste of time to go on before him, especially as it is certain that the court hud no jurisdiction over the mutter. The question :s already pre judical, as in a few days yci may expect ex-pect to hear that the Hayes' electors will bo required tc go be lure a dmo-cratic dmo-cratic referee, or p.Whly bring into court itself tho evidence that thf y have the right lo cast the Vote of the ilate.
