The Electoral Board.

After elaborate argument by
the most eminent lawyers of the
country. this Board decided on
yesterday week, that the electo
raj vote of Florida. SHOULD be
given for Hayes and Wheeler.
On Monday Feb. -, the votes
of intervening States were count
ed, until Louisiana was reached,
and the various certificates were
read
Senator Mcdonald, of Indiana,
rose and submitted an objection
to the Hayes and Wheeler certifi
Gates. The objection was based
on the ground that the Hayes
electors had not been Only elects
ed, but that their election had
been certified by VIM. p. Kellogg
who claimed to he, but, in fact,
was not the Governor of the
State of Louisiana; because the
returning board OF said State was
without jurisdiction for the rea
son that the laws OF Louisiana
conferred no power on the return
ing board TO canvass or compile
the returns, sin ce>they constitu
ted but four of the five persons
required by law ; since. those four
were of the same political party,
and since there was a vacancy in
the said board, which the four
refused to fill because the four
members of the returning board
had full knowledge that true
compilation of the votes would
have shown that the Tilden cleo
tors had been duly elected; be-
cause said board had offered (fol
money! to sell the vote of Louis
ana and because A. B. LeviSst
and O. II. Brewster, OF the Re
publican electors, had Offices O

the United States at the time O.

The objection is signed by

Why should 60 cents per day be

THE EMMA MINE.

New York, April 28.-The suit ofthe
English owners of the famous Emma
mine against Trenor w. Park and others
who sold it to recover the S., 900, 900 paid
for it, alleging that there was fraud, de-
ceit, and Misrepresentation on the part
Of Park in regard to the resources of the
mine, resulted to day, after four months
trial, in verdict for the defendants.
The verdict was received with demon
strations of delight, which, however,
were speedily checked by Mr., Crittenden
of the counsel for the defense. Mr.. Park
the principal defendant, sat in chair
almost powerless with emotion, andtears
burst from his eyes. Having recovered
himself, he shook hands with the jurors
and received the congratulations of his
friends, with whom the court room was
almost crowded.
