Tho Court Of Arbitration yesterday de-
citlesl not to 60 behind tho official CANVASS
nnd returns matle In tho State Of Florida,
and to lcar no evidence except upon tho
question Of the eligibility Of ono Of the
Electors, which Inns been questioned. It
will hardly surprise auy lawyer to learn that
the Court, sitting rs a legal tribunal to de-
tcr1nino questions Of law aud Of fact In the
matter Of n sLato election, held undor State
laws, llas decided that It is not warranted in
undertaking to Investigate tho election re.
trrns precinct by preeint. Tho Court has
recognized tho power Of tho State to pro.
vitlo tho manner Of appointing tie Electors,
and has also recognized tho power Of the
State 10 appoint officers clothed with au-
thority to cnnvass the election roturns and
to declaro tho result. AL these things per-
tain to tho appointment Of tho Electors. and
nro exclusively within tho jurisdiction OF tho
sso!e, aud the oiIlcera appointed by the State
for tint purpose. Tho qualifications Of m
Etecsor aro prescribed by tho Constitu-
tion Of tho United Statcs, md aro not sub
jeot to change by anY State low. On tllat
point tho Commission decided to llear tcsti.
tnony. After tho first excitement Of disap-
poiutmont a!tall haye passed nway, tie
Democrats will recognize as fully rs Rcpub.
lic1us the proprioty and wisdom Of tho de-
cisio,, Of the Court.

There aro three sets Of papers in tho Flor
ida case from which the Commission must
select tho evidence upon which to determine
the Electoral question in TINT State. The
frat set certiies In lua for1u to tho election
Of the HAYES Electors tho second to the
election Of the T1LpEs Electors and tic
third Is record Of The quo war1antopro-
cerlings in the Circuit Court and tho action
Of the Legislature Subsequent to the casting
OF the Electoral vote. It Is regarded o.
practically Eett1ed TINT tho third set OF pa-
rers will DO passed. over as entitled to
no consideration, thus limiting tho choice
OF tho Commission to tho Two conflicting re-
t,uns. Thu Democrats give up Florida 10
HAYES, aud rest their hopes upon their Sue
cess in throwing out the votes OF two Nepub-
ican Electors il Louisiana and Of WAr1a in
Oregon, Gu the ground Of ineligibility. Tho
Louisiana Electors resigned their Federal
Offices before the College met To cast the
vote, mud also resigned as Electors, atal were
subsequently, chosen 10 ill tho vacancies.
To this extout their position Is identical with
TINT OF WATTS, but their caso ~ stronger than
that OF Watts from the fact that they rc'
ceived the certificates Of tho Returning
Board and Governor, while WA7Ts received
neither.

Development rs manifested In the results Of
