cheerful this morning. 1t becomes appa
rent that the Republicans lawyers are en-
tireiys ON The defensive, and It is conceded
that if they are forced from the outpost
which they held In the Florida case their
cause IL lost.
Evurts spoke for over two hours. The
Republican counsel are drawing heavily
on their time for argument Of the main
question, and exhausting their force on the
custom OF excluding evidence aud cramp-
ing Jurisdiction Of the Commission. The
main bearing OF Evarts's argument Is that
the State cannot be tripped by proceedings
here. Evarte HAS lost sadly In vitality since
he defended Andy Johnson In tho great i'm.
parchment trial.
The Commission will hereafter occupy
the Senate chamber after the adjournment
Of the Senate, as the Supreme Courtroom
Is not provided with gas-fxtures.
Judge Campbell closed his argument at 8
O'Clock, and after. n short secret session, in
which the Commission agreed TO vote to-
morrow vt O'Clock, the body adjourned 20
10 o'clock tomorrow.
There will be an open session Tomorrow
after 4 o'clock. ae.r
Judge Campbell, in closing, said that a
residence OF. ten years In louisiana enabled
him to appreciate the troubles OF that en-
pire. The suaerings Of Louisiana were due
to the liberation Of misgorernment in that
State. In relation to the untitled vacancy
In the Returning Board, he cited authori-
ties to show under the act which required
the Board to be composed OF men OF differ
ent politics, the word "then" made 1t i'm
perative on the Board to fill the vacancy OF
once, and that il evidence was admitted
they would show that the reason was from
corrupt motives to escape observation.
Mr.. Merrick submitted an additional
brief relating to the want OF authority on
the part Of the incomplete Board, and said
lie desired to reply to a remark made by Mr..
Evarts, and said protest was duly filed by
the Democrats against the power Of the
Returning Board to canvass the votes.
Mr.. Evarts said he did not so state. What
he said was that no claim was made that
Governor Kellogg should canvass the
vote.
After fifteen minutes recess the Commits
sion remained in consultation until half
past O'Clock, when it adjourned to 10 A.
NJ, having adopted an order thst vote
should be taken on the admissibility Of the
evidence proffered at O'Clock In tho after
noon.
The secretary was directed to notify
counsel that the decision OF the Commission
would be communicated to them ut quar-
ter past 4. 1t is understood there was no
discussion upon the question before the
Commission beyond the preliminary ar
ranecmentS.
