The Vote OF Florida.


The Commission OH the Electoral
votes decided, as we have already
stated, that tic vote Of Florida was
cast for Hayes and Wheeler, and 50
counted that State. The Senate con
firmed their decision but the House
did not. This action, however, gives
the State to the Republicans, as it
requires the concurrent vote of both
Houses to annul q judgement OF til
commission. The conduct of this High
Joint Tribunal was scvcrly criticised
i'll the House, and the fact clearly
demonstrated that the majority Of its
members have no regard for law or
honesty. We extract from the Con-
grcssional Record the following re.
marks Of Dayied DUDLEY Field:
"Ihc doctrine Of the commission, if
| interpret it Alright, amounts to this ::
that if the general commanding iu
Florida had upon the morning OF the
9th Of December marched q corpor.
ais guard into tho Statc-house told
oil four Of his soldiers, and forced the
state canvasscrs to certify to their
election and the governor to supcrald
his certificate, there would then hay
been no power in the land to prevent
The votes Of these soldiers from being
counted MS tie electoral vote OF Flori
da We are here called upon to say
whcther.in the solemn Judgment of
this House this is the law of the land.
Let me show you some Of its consc-
qucnccs. We offered to pro?e fraud;
VIC were denied the right to do 50 .
We offered to show that the pretend
ell appointment OF the Hayes electors
was corruptly made. This was re-
fused. But the truth cannot all be
concealed. One Of The persons certi-
fled by the commission to be n lawful
elcctor Of the State of Florida is
Charles II. Pcarce. There is re
cord of him from the reports ofthe
supreme court Of the State which
shows him to be a convicted felon. In
the fourteenth volume of these re.
ports | find the case Of The State Of
Florida against Pcarce. The indict-
ment set forth "that Charles II.
Pcarce, colore,l, minister of the
gospel aud q senator representing the
eight dist trict in the senate of tic State
OF Florida" on the 4th Of February,
1870, during the pcndcncy before the
house Of assembly Of resolution to
lmpeach the governor Of high crimes
and misdcmcanors with the intent Of
feloniously influencing the vote Of 4
member, offered and promised him
5000. lie was convictc by Jury,
and upon his appeal TO the supreme
court of the State the Judgment and
sentence were affirmed. 1 hat man,
a pardored convict, gave the one vote
which will elect Mr.. Hayes, if elected
at all, to the presidential office.
Mr.. Speaker, the decision oc this
com mission, rs | view it, is entitled
to no respect, It is rs unsound in
morals Us it is unfoundcd in law, and
mischicvous in its consequences. The
spectacle Of successful villainy is cor
rupting in proportion to the extent of
the thcatcr OIL which it is displayed
and the prizes which it wins. The
Prize of the Presidency has never yet
been won by fraud. If it is thus won
now, the spectacle will be more in
furious to our good name ami more
corrupting to our people than all the
pacnlation, robbery, and frauds Of all
our history [Applausc.]

There was bold unscrupulous effort
to defeat the will of the people in the
Archer pr"cinc! number two, in
Aluchua County. Such frauds were
perpctrntct! as to ,ieleat the election
OF Tildcn by more than 800 majority.
lie violated no personal confidence in
saying thai he knew that Congill, one
OF tho Returning Board, knew of the
frau DIS, and said he would decide the
case for Hayes ifthc frauds were pro.
pcrly covered up. There cannot be
doubt that the Tiltlcn electors car
RED The Stale Of Florida, and every
man in the State knew it. On the I'd
day of last January The Democratic
Governor, Drew, was peacefully in
auguratcd ut Tallahassee, and he,
Purman, thanked God that Florida
did not present the spectacle of two
governments each claiming to be the
riyhtful government Of the State Of
Florida. 1t was not in the terrible
condition Of two other Southern
States.
Pnrman is al honest colorcd man
and discountcnanccs fraud: He sees,
too, the signs Of the times; that the
Republican party, at least i'll the
South, is on its last legs, and that
those who attempt to prolong its days
by frard, are but adding to the
wrath Of Il day to come. The High
Joint Commission counted Florida Cor
Hayes. How do they feel now in the
light of Purman's speech?
