DAILY SILVER STATE.
A SENSATION IN CONGRESS.

Yesterday the House Committee
sent to Florida to investigate the cleo
ton in that State reported to Congress.
AS was expected there were two reports
submitted. A resolution was offered
that the majority report, declaring that
the Tilden electors were elected, and
that the Board of Canvassers were I'M
scrupulous and their count fraudu-
lent, be accepted. At shis juncture W.
j. Purman, Republican member of
Congress from Florida, made spec Oh
in favor of the resolution and voted
in support of the same.
This is nice kettle of fish for the
majority of the Electoral Commission
to fry. They refused to hear testimony
in the Florida case, which the Demo-
Gratis alledgsd would not only satisfy
the commission but the country, that
Tilden had carried the State, and gave
the four electoral votes of the State to
Hayes upon the unsupported certificate
of Governor who was perhaps bought
to certify to afalsehood. Here we have
Republican member of Congress from
the State, who participated in the cleo
ton, and whose position implied a
knowledge of the real sentiments OF
the people, declare on the floor OF the
House of Representatives that the Til
Gen electors were elected in Florida and
that the canvassing board was unscrup-
ulous. and fraudulently counted ma
jority for the Hayes electors. Do fair
minded Republicans desire Hayes in
augurated in the face of such declara-
tions? Would they have President
counted in against the votes of the ma
jority. not only of the popular vote of
the United States, but of the legal cleo
tors, upon the certificates of unscrupu-
lous governors, based upon the fraudu-
lent returns of rascally canvassing
boards?

THE SECOND WEDNESDAY IN
FEBRUARY.

Before the era of enlightened return
ing boards. when the majority of votes
polled in State determined the cleo
ton of Presidential electors, the second
Wednesday in February was named in
the Constitution as the day on which
the votes for the President and Vice
President should be opened by the
President of the Senate and counted
by Congress in joint convention. Only
once, in the history of the country, was
the election of President for the ensu-
ing four years undecided when the sun
went nown on the second Wednesday
of February succeeding the Presidsn-
tial election. This exception was in
1924, when there was no election by
the people and the President was
elected by the House of Representa-.
tivss. To-day will be another exoep-
ton. not that there is any doubt of
the legal election of one of the eandi-
dates, but because of partisan effort,
by chicanery and fraud, to subvsrt the
will OF the people, and keep Cameron,
Chandler d Co. in Office.

show the same by evidence now in pos
session of the House and before the
Commission. They were further pre-
pared to show Levissee and Brewster
were ineligible. He maintained that
the clause of the Constitution extended
not only to the person but to the act.
They would further prove that under
the Constitution of Louisiana, which
prohibits any person from holding two
Offices, that three others were disquall-
fed. namely, jefferson, Marks and
Burch, who were respectively Election
Supervisor, District Attorney and State
Senator at the time Of election. Ihey
would further prove that twas deter
mined before the result was known,
that if necessary to affect the result, the
Returning Board was prepared to give
the State to Hayes, regardless OF for
whom the votes had been cast. In con-
clusion he asked that the moral light
of the universe might be allowed to
shine upon the transaction, and the ma
ton be free from the vile acts of this
Returning Board.
Huriburt, of the counsel for the Re-
publicans, aaid the commission stood
in the position of committee appoint
ed by Congress to perform certain dut-
les, and that its Jurisdiction was de.
fined by we'll established laws. He
maintained that Kellogg was Governor
of wretched Louisiana, and that Ger.
tifcate given by him was regular,
while the certificate of McEnery was
irregular from necessity, for he had not
an Office whore the returns could be
made out and no Secretary of State to
certify his signature.
What "a Waiter Heard.
Before the Committee on Powers and
Privileges, q number of respectable
citizens testified to the good character
of Maddox. A waiter in New Orleans
restaurant, where the members and
clerks Of the Returning Board dined,
testified that he overheard converse
ton between Wells, Anderson and Lit
tlefeld. He heard Wells say, in reply
to Littlefeld, "No matter if Tilden
has 100, 900 majority in the State, the
vote will be given to Hayes anyhow"
and that he (Wells) did not care what
became OF the State. The witness was
subjected to o lengthy, bat fruitless,
cross examination.
