News From Florida.

TALLAHASSEE, Dec. 18.-The Con-
gressional Committee have been ut
work to-day. The Senate Commit
tee will not go to jackson county,
but will await witnesses here. Sem
ator Sargent called the committee to-
gcther to-day, the reporters and pub
lie were denied admission. Cards to
the Chairman were returned with
the statement that the session would
be secret. The day was consumed In
examining the republican members
of the Canvassing Board. Judge
Cooke is summoned to appear before
the Committee of the House. The
Committee had before it eighteen me-
groes, whose names were on the poll
list at Richardson's precinct in Leon
county as having voted there who
sworc that they did not vote there
and were not in the precinct all day.
There were votes in the ballot box
to accord with these names. The
Committee will summon other wit
ncsses tomorrow. The introduction
of colored witnesses to-day and their
testimony created quite a sensation.
The counsel for the Board of Canvas
sers fled, to-day, their amended an
swcr to the alternate writ Of manda-
mus, and the matter has been the sub
jcct Of argument before the Supreme
Court during the entire day. The
amended answer sets forth the Courts
grounds upon which the Board re-
jected or added votes.

Cen. 10 Shelby.
SDeclal Cisnatch to the Tribun,

ST. LOUIS, Dec. l7.-Thc famous
ex-Confederate cavalry leader, Gen.
10 Shelby, who has been prominent
supporter of Tildcn in this State,
stated tonight at an interview that,
in the event of any trouble between
the two political parties, that he
would support that party which re-
ceived the support of President
Grant; that if Mr.. Ferry declared
that Hayes had majority Of the cleo
toral votes, and Grant indicted him
into Office, if the supporters of Tilden
undertook to inaugurate their choice
by force in opposition to Hayes, he
(Shelby) would head an armed or
ganization from this section to sustain
Hayes. Gen. Shelby further declared
that the ex-Confederatc soldiers as a
general thing, could not be dragged
into an armed opposition to the inaug-
uration of Hayes, and that their faith
in the northern democracy was not of
such nature as to induce them to
take up arms under any circum-
stances. Gen. Shelby is convinced
that there is in process of organiza-
ton in this city movement, in con-
junction with similar plans in Illi-
nois, Indiana, Ohio, and elsew here,
to accomplish the Inauguration of
Tilden by force. He denounces such
a movement as rebellious, and is
ready at any time to sustain Grant in
whatever declaration he may make.

Comrades fall in" In this region
of Indiana veteran soldiers during
the rebellion were obliged to fight for
their lives betimes with Indiana reb-
els. In the late campaign this fall,
General Logan and a meeting he was
addressing were violently assaulted
by this same old rebel democracy,
and the meeting partially broken up.
Now, the Sentinel, knowing the des-
pcrate, bad character of its patrons,
boldly calls for a military organiza-
ton to engage again in rebellion.

The Oregon Question.

WASHINGTON, Dec. lit seem.
now to be pretty well settled that the
democrats will not seriously insist or
the counting of Cronin's vote in the
Oregon Electoral College. The posi-.
tion which the more moderate OF
them now hold is, that the people OF
Oregon, having voted for a man who
was ineligible, the election in his
case was void, and Oregon should moi
thus be deprived Of one of its Elec.
toral votes. The men who hold this
opinion will, at the same time, insist
on the right of the House, either in
conjunction with the Senate or by
itself, to act judicially on the question
whether Cr0nin's or that OF the re-
publican elector from the same dis
trict, or neither, shall be counted.

UOITSE.


WASHINGTON, Dec. l6.-Schleichcr's
amendment to the postoffice appro-
priation bill, increasing the appro-
priation for the transportation of
mails on star routes, was agreed to, so
to 66, the bill being passed without
division.
The Speaker presented Morrison's
telegram from New Orleans, Presi-
dent Orion refusing to produce the
originals of all Western Union dis
patches.
Wood rose to offer a resolution, say
ing he believed the House would
specially vindicate its rights and priv
ileges.
Hoar made point of order that a
resolution being founded on report
made to the House by telegraph was
not in order.
The Speaker overruled the point,
declaring it was question of prlvi-
lege.
Woods resolution was read. It
moves q reference of Morrison's tele-
gram to the Judiciary committee,
with instructions to report at the ear
lest practicable moment what action
should be taken in the premises.
Kasson again pressed Hoar's point
of order, but the Speaker affirmed his
previous ruling, remarking that his
position seemed entirely correct.
The resolution then passed without
discussion or division, and the special
order was taken up and eulogies on
the late Speaker Kerr was delivered.
Hamilton, of Ind, made the first
grafton, mentioning Kerr as a man
who could have led q forlorn hope or
breasted popular opinion and gone a
martyr to the stake for principle
who stood out Immaculate as a tall
palm tree in the moral desert of the
age.
| Kelly, of Penn, made the mex,
speech, characterizing Kerr as whole.
hearted and courageous man, who
loathed demagoguery.
| Other speeches made by Raymond
Monroe, Holman, Burchard, of Ills.
and Cox. The latter stated that Kerr
on his death bed told him death hat
no terrors for him. He believed ,
just life on earth would give him hi
reward.

pronuncianentos declaring Tilden
elected, is the old income reformer's
Chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, and son-in-law of the
poor, silly, old octogenerian green

ton this Peter Cooper greenback
dodge was the plan of Tilden and

relied upon by the democracy to car

but that it PANIED out well.
