TALLAHASSEE, November 23.-The court
room was crowded to-day. The Governor,

no right to canvass the electoral vote, but
that such right resided in the Canvassing
Board, and that the court had power to
restrain the Governor from performing an
act which he had no right to perform under
the law.

jurisdiction of the court. He abiured the
