spouse to q summons, appeared before the

and duties of Congress in counting the
electoral vote, on Saturday, Jan. 10, and, in
response to the interrogatory as to whether
he had sent any dispatches to Florida since
the November election in relation to money,
replied that he had not. Being asked whether
he had sent dispatch TO Florida stating that
troops would probably be sent there to keep
the peace, he answered he probably had. He
was then asked whether he had sent it upon
his own motion or upon some ones else, and
he declined to answer this question, basing his
