TENTH DAYS PROCEEDINGS.


Prof. G. Z. Gends, sworn Reside in
Cleveland. o. Am professor of Chem
lstry. Have tested arsenic on plants and
1t would kill them. Ny attention has been
called to the action and characteristics Of
arsenic for several years past. Its action
on yeast | believe would be to destroy the
active properties of the yeast, when ii
came in contact with them. Never have
tried the experiment, and therefore would
be unable to give decided opinion as to
the formation of crystals upon the out
side of the bread or crust Would exam
inc the vital organs-the stomach. liver,
blood and tissues of the brain. Would
expect 10 find traces of arsenic in the
stomach 10 or Is days after it had been
taken. There are exceptional cases, which
would weigh very much; could find traces

THE JUGGLERS AT WORK.

On the outside will be found an ar
ticle describing the action of the joint
meeting of the House and Senate, and
the progress made in counting the vote
until Florida was reached, when OBJ
jections were made, and the certificates
and papers were referred to the com
mission. Since then the objectors have
stated their cases, and arguments pro
and con have been made by Evarts,
for the Republicans, and O'COuor for
the Democrats. The Commissioners
have been in secret session, and as
would naturally occur the question As
to their powers arose. Congress, with
out power TO delegate its power, yet
had professed to do so, and the inquiry
of the Commissioners necessarily took
range sufficient TO examine the powers
of Congress OH the subiect-jusr what
should have been done in the case at
fist and before tue Supreme Court as
a CourJ-and saved the bother now.
The intimatiop Is made that the decis-
ion of the Commission will be that no
authority exists for going behind Il Q
action of the Returning Board. IL
such is the decision in the Florida
case it virtually settles the whole ques-
tion, and Hayes and Wheeler will be
declared to be the legally elected Pres
ident AM Vice President. The Com
missioners are said TO have divided &C
cordiDg TO their political sentiments.
as we said they would, and the one
man, or fifteenth mans vote, settled
the question. And now it is intinated
by O'Coror. that Tilden will not abide
the decision of the Commission, aud
he asserted before that body, in his
argument, the doctrine that the House
is sole judge of the occasion for il to
step in and select a president. In the
same spirit, Democratic chairman of
one of the committees has asserted that
if the decision is against Tilden, he will
contest the matter in court. OF course
these may be mere specalations, ard
yet they logically result from the
premises furnished by s. ]. T., in all
his actions since the election. In that
case what will the commission have
settled, and in what condition will
the associate justices be to re-examine
the case as q Courti

ed will advertise for proposals. and
while they may reject all and purchase
a site they deem most suitable. il is
quite probable that the city or town
Offering the greatest inducements will
be accepted-aIl things being equal
Here is an opportunity for our city to
show its public spirit and whether
there is sufficient enterprise in it to
make an effort to secure such a work.
The advantages it would give US would
be great, and can hardly be estimated
The construction of the building would
furnish employment to many, and
would occasion the circulation of a
great desl of money in the community.
We are eligibIy situated, with railroad
approaches that bring US in connection
with all parts of the State, and within
a few hours ride of the Eastern and
Western section of the State. We
have fine quarries here and in the
neighborhood, have excellent brick
yards, and all the material needed for
the construction of such work. Be
sides our forests are ample to furnish
timber for manufacturing purposes,
which would necessarily have to be
carried on within its walls to make it
self sustaining. 1t would necessarily
give us better markets by furnishing
many more consumers, and would
bring to our city many visitors who
perhaps would not otherwise be at
tracted here. 1t is worth the effort,
and We would be pleased to see our
more prominent citizens take an inter
est in working up the matter. Lima
and Toledo are at present the compe
titors. Let Findlay take rank with
them and carry off the prize.
