Judiciary Committee, reported bill to
preserve the ballots cast at,and oil papers
connected with, elections for members of

and pass it. The bill having been read
, in full, Cox asked Tremaine to leave the
bill open to debate, as it was a very i'm
portant measure. Tremaine replied that
, he had no control of the debate, the
House regulated that, and it was very
simple bill, providing only for fair cleo
tons. Eldrijge said it does nothing Of
. the kind; it provides for the destruction
of States, and for placing the elections
entirely within the control OF Federal
power.
