They report that upon examining their
warrant OF jurisdiction, they decided 1t
did not Justify them in making inquiry
into the manner OF voting in any State |;
or, speaking after the manner OF men,
"they concluded not to go behind the
returns Their mission was simply TO
determine which of the certificates pre-
senied 70 them was legally returned. In
this light. it became their duty to report
the Republican certificate from Florida
The only one entitled 70 consideration.
While this decision gives Florida to the
republicans, il does not ensure the cleo
ton of Hayes and Wheeler. There are
duplicate returns from three other States.
and the commission may detect irregu-
laritics among them. The loss OF one
State would be fatal to our cause. Still
it is cause for grest rejoicing that those
leaders who sought to overthrow our IL
situations and compromise the ballot, have
been rebuked by tribunal OF their own
erecting. II is an indication that there
are eminent men in this country who
sre more susceptible to the calls of jus
tice than 10 all the clamors Of partiSans.

This condition of things would have re-
minded YOU Of the darkest days in the his
tory of the republic, when, at the demand
of threatening South, the yielding North
offered compromise, the acceptance OF
which would have bound our country for
ever to the car of slavery, made it the
very slave Of slavery through all time !;
and you would have hesitated long before,
inresponse to the same threats, made lar
gely by the same men, you would have
rendered this "Compromise Bill" The
former, fortunately for the Republic, was,
in madness, rejected the latter, wisdom
having been born from experience was
eagerly accepted.
| am satisfied that some men who sup
ported this measure were actuated by the
highest motives, governed by q conscien-
tious regard for the Constitution, con.
trolled by the purest patriotism; but L
cannot accord to all of that great major
ity the same lofty purpose. We OF the
minority were indicted as partisans and
put on trial. Does no suspicion attach
to the grand Jurors who brought In the
bill against US say to you, there was
q combination of influences here almost
resistless. Threats of war, at a time when
its terrows and It's Sorrors were so fresh
in the memories of the American people;
piteous appeals of PROSTATE business,
at time when thousands and tens OF
thousands of men and women were crying
for the bread they could not earn by the
sweat of the brow; the necessity pressing
upon public men to make the record OF to
day consistent with that Of yesterday, and
chance for success for the democratic
party where no chance existed before,
may well account for part Of this over
whelming majority, indeed may have en-
acted this bill into q law. Sincerely hop
ING that this measure may prove to be
'eminently wise and patriotic" and Gifted
