SENATOR CARPENTER.

L1o COuIISC- -OOuTuat COntu.US TIC
following:
When the Commission again as-
sembled at S o'clock, Ex-senator
Carpenter rose and said If the
Court please, to relieve scme little
anxiety that exists in some part OF
the country, let me occupy one mo-
ment in stating for whom l appear
here. l desire to say in the first
place that I do not appear for
Samuel J. 'rildcn. He is gentle
man whom I have not the
honor OF knowing, with whom I
have no sympathy, against whom l
voted on the 7th Of November last,
and if this Tribunal could order q
new trial I should vote against him
again, believing as l do that the ac-
cession of tie Democratic party to
power in this country to-day would
oe the greatest calamity that could
beiall the people, except one, and
that one great calamity would be
to keep him out by fraud and false
hood.
Mr.. Carpenter said he appeared
for ten thousand legal voters who
had been disfranchised by four viii
laIus, whose official title is the Re
turning Board OF Louisiana. He
continued as follows
Upon the very basis Of the bill
creating this Tribunal, your deci-
sions are to he reported to both
houses of Congress, and tho two
houses may set them aside. There
is an end then OF saying that this
Tribunal is exercising judic:a!
power, or tEat whether you decide
that the vote shall be counted for
Hayes or Tilden, that decision pre-
ciudes the question between the
two. It is not. 1t cannot. In no
possible aspect Of the case can it be
maintained that this Tribunal is
anything On earth but a legislative
committee Of investigation,
At this point Mr.. Justice Brad
ley interruptcd-l don't think there
is a difference of opinion on that
point. 1t is the universal theory
that, 20 far as I am informed.
the powers OF this Commission cx-
tend so far, and so far onfy, as the
TWO houses of Congress.
Mr.. Carpenter-In other words,
then, it is agreed on all hands that
the powers OF this Commission are
political powers, are legislative
powers, delegated by the two
houses Of Congress. Your honors
would have relieved yourselves
from the inflic:ion Of the last twen-
ty minutes If you had announced it
early.
Representative Hoar (Eep. ,
Mass. j. I did not understand tha.
Judge Bradley announced the pro-
position that you have just stated.
Mr.. Carpenter-The proposition
ia to my mind sclf-evident, and so
fortified by the constitution that l
will stop on the mere suggestion
that Judge Bradley has made on
the subject.
Justice Bradley intimated that
counsel had drawn his own infer
ences.
Mr.. Carpenter then quoted the
language Of the act creating the
Commission, and contended that it
is the duty Of the Tribunal not to
ascertain what appears to be the
case, but who have been duly ap>
pointed. Mr.. Carpenter quoted
various authorities to show that
the writ OF QUO wARRANTo was not
a criminal proceeding, although il
is in form ; but it is substance q
civil one.
Continuing his argument, Mr
Carpenter said : Another question
IT think, is one of considerable

THE WINNERS In THE CIRCUIT.
The fact that the meeting at Fleetwood Park,
set for the past week, fell through on account
Of a lack OF entries, made the Hartford meeting
the last one OF the Grand Central Trottins Cir
cult, composed Of the: Associations at Spring
field, Cleveland, Buffalo, Rochester, Utica,
Hartford, and Fleetwood Park 1t was sup
nosed to be the strongest combination that
could possibly be male, and the various parties
in interest looked forward to the most success-
full season Of sport, both financially and other
wise. that hud ever been known. The Septilat-
era| of last year was composed of the same
Associations, except Fleetwood Park, and the
latter was taken into the ring because, under
the management of Gates Barnard last year, Its
rneetrps we're remarkably successful, and if
not recognized in some manner this year the
other Associations feared that it might become
altogether too formidable q rival But in in
stead OF being benefited by the alli-

situated at the end Of the line, and met the
fate of Springfield last year, when that track

t1on to form circuit With Chicago and Saginaw
vas made 1t was at once accepted, and the
officers OF the Association, especially Mr. c. VI.

their power to make it success. In view of
these facts, 1t is gratifying to know that all the
purses for the Milwaukee meeting, except that
