After the argument upon the Florida
case before the late Electoral Com
mission in Washington, Judge Brad
ley wrote out his opinion and his de-
cision in full. He completed II at about 8
o'clock in the evening on the day before the
judgment OF the Commission was 10 be an
nounced, and read II 10 Judge Clifford and
Judge Field, who were likewise members OF
the Commission. II contained, first, an ar
gument, and, secondls, a conclusion. The
argument was precisely the same a. that
which appears in the published document
but Judge Bradley's conclusion was that the
votes Of the Tilden Electors in Florida were
the only votes which ought 10 be counted al
coming from that state.
This was the character Of the paper when
Judge Bradley finished il, and when he
communicated IL 10 his colleagues. During
the whole Of that night Judge Bradley'-
house in Washington was surrounded by
the carriages OF visitors who came 10 see him
apparently about the decision Of the Elec-
t0ral Commission which, as we have said
was to be announced the next day. These
visitors included leading Republicans a. well
as persons deeply interested in the Texas
Pacific Railroad scheme.
When the Commission assembled the next
morning and when the judgment was de-
clared, Judge Bradley gave his voice in
favor Of counting the votes OF the Hayes
electors Of Florida. The argument he did
not deliver al the time: but when IL came TO
be printed subsequently II was found TO be
precisely the same as the argument which ht
had originally drawn up, and on which ht
had based his first conclusion in favor Of the
Tilden electors.

A strange discovery Is reported from
the Lake Of Geneva. "A tourist having
lost his trunk, two divers were employed
to search for it. While they were below
water, they found what they supposed
to be a village, since covered by the lake.
Their statements led 10 an investigation
Of the spot by the municipal authorities,
who took measures TO ascertain the truth
Of the extraordinary account Of the
divers. On covering the placid surface
with oil, these latter were able TO distin-
guish the plan of a town. streets, squares
and detached houses marking the bed Of
the lake. The ruddy hue which charac-
terized them led the observers to sup
posethat the buildings had been covered
with the famous yermillion cement,
which was used BY the Celts, Cimbri
and the early Gauls There are about
POO houses arranged over an oblong sur
face, near the middle Of which is space
more open, supposed to have been used
for public assemblages. Al the eastern
extremity lies large square tower.

4 Mimic ball. The ball passed through

probe the wound IN search of il, left the
man 10 die In the course IF time he
recovered, but had lost his reason, and
was sent 10 the Insane Asylum AT

years. AT length DR.. Fauntlcroy. an
eminent physician Of that city, obtained
permission from the asylum authorities
and friends Of the insane man TO make a
surgical examination Of the head, with
the hope Of finding the ball. He was
successful, and found the ball imbeddcd
on the inside Of the skull and pushing
against the brain. Unable TO extract Il
with any instrument At hand, he took a
chisel and mortised II out. As soon a
the ball was removed, reason resumed
