signed by Governor Nichols and the
Secretary of State, Arroyo, with the
seal of the State attached. These Gre
dentials comply with the law OF Louis
lana in every respect, and the Clerk has
accordingly placed on the roll the
names Of the persons containcd1n them
When Missouri was reached the
Clerk stated that no certificate had
been received from the Third District
When Florida was reached the Clerk
stated that he had received the certl1-
cate of Governor Stearns to the election
OF William j. Purman in the Flrst,and
Horatio Bisbee, Jr., in the Second DIS
trict, but he had subsequently received
two certificates from Governor Drew,
one of which recited the canvass, which
showed that the election OF MI. Pur-
man had been declared by the Supreme
Court of Florida Illegal, and that an
other canvass had been made in obedl-
ence to the order Of the Supreme Court,
which showed the election OF Robert
H. M. Dawson from the First District.
Under such circumstances he had plac-
ed the name of Dawson on the roll.
The other certificate of Governor
Drew simply declared that by counting
certain votes rejected by the State
Board of Canyassers in the Second Dis
trict, and which the Supreme Court
said could not legally be counted, j. >.
Finlay would be elected. Under such
circumstances he could see nothing toll
inyalidate the previous cestificates in
favor Of Bisbee, and he had therefore
placed his name on the roll.
With reference to Colorado the Clerk
said the certificate presented by James
b. Bedford showed that he was elected
on the Sd Of October 1876, at time not
authorized by the laws of the United
States or of Colorado, while the papers
presented by Patterson were mere GER
titled copies Of abstracts OF votes in
several counties, which had never been
canvassed by any board Of canvassers.
He had therefore declined to place
either name On the roll, leaving the
matter to the House to determine al
ter the organization. .al.G Esa
