An excellent sermon was preached in
the Southern Methodist Church last Sab
bath by the pastor in charge, Rev. Mr.,
Carroll. God bless those preachers who
never exhaust the interest of their con-
gregations before they do their subject
A good old Methodist pastor, whose soul
has been mingling for years in the socie-
ty of the blessed in Heaven, remarked
twenty years ago, or more, to a Knox
vile audience, that he sometimes ques-
toned the propriety of licensing any
man to preach the gospel of Christ, who
tackled in the pulpit a subject he could
not intelligently explain to his hearers
in forty minutes. He was a good man
and has gone to his reward. But his re-
mark has occurred to us more than once
since he made it-and sometimes we
have thought his head was IeYel on that
DOint,

motive of the act, the knowledge requisite
TO give motion, effect and purpose TO
be accomplished were all before the eyes OF
the persons participant in it. Fraud
can't be so presumed against parties that act
in conformity with law and discharge of the
duty at the time required by law and in the
manner required by law, as 1t can be pre-
sumed against those who do it outside of
the provisions of law, and with full knowi-
edge of the effect which would be produced
by it. If you have a right to say that
another set of votes must be
counted in Florida, you have the
right TO saw that another set of votes
must be counted in New York. If you take
the jurisdiction to determine there were 80
votes which constitute the alleged MAORI
ties in Florida, and to upset the electoral
college that might exist there, You might
go to my state and assert that the
GO, 900 majority there should be upset.
Mr. McCrary followed, reviewing Ethe quo
gd4rd1ltO case already referred to, and reclt-
ing many authorities in connection there
with.
The presiding justice inquired whether
the counsel proposed to offer evidence before
proceeding to the argument. 1t was replied
on behalf of Mr.. O'Conor that he expected
to offer an answer.
Justice Miller suggested that the counsel
might make brief speech of what they pro-
posed to offer.
The presiding justice asked Mr.. Evarts if
he intended, on his side, to offer any evil
dence.
Mr. Everts said that he had no evil
dence TO offer unless there should be de-
termination to admit evidence against his
side which he should then need to.meet.
The Presiding Justice-If the commission
decide to receive evidence you would re-
quire to meet that evidence.
Mr.. Evarts-Yes, sir; especially relating
to this particular matter of Humphrey, and
whenever il is intended to show that
Humphrey held ali Office we shall
perhaps desire TO give evidence that he did
not hold that office at the time re-
ferred to, and we suppose if there
is to be an inquiry that adduces evil
dence, that evidence is to be proved
according to the rules which make its pro-
| duction evidence in the system of common
law
Commissioner Thurman suggested that
there must be great fact as to which
counsel upon both sides could agree
not as to whether proof OF
them is admissible in this procedure,
but as to the existence of the facts. III the
counsel would agree as far as they could de-
eide to facts of which there could be no pos
sible doubt, leaving the question of their
admissibility as a matter of law to the de-
cisiOn of the tribunal, it would very much
tend to save time. The committee then adj
journed.
