THE COMMISSION.

! WASHINGTON, February s. The commission
reassembled in open session at II o'clock. The
counsel on both sides were present, with the ex-
ception of Judge Black.
The proceedings Of yesterday having been made
public the journal was read. Justice Clifford
stated that the proceedings were now in order, I'M
der the orders adopted by the commission yester-
day.
Mr.. Green, counsel on the democratic side, pre-
sented the commission of Mr.. Humphreys, the
FLORIDA elcctor, certificate from the clerk OF
court, in which the commission was filed that no
resignation had beeen fled up to January 9th
1877.
A witness stated that he had transactions with
Humphreys as shipping commissioner from some
time IN 1873, up to the time of leaving Florida in
August last; knew the nan to be the same as the
one voted for as elector.
Mr.. Green said that was all the affirmative evil
dence they proposed to offer.
Humphreys was called on the othetAiL,, aadc&
amlned by Mr.. Stoughton. lie exhibited bis res
lgnatlon last September, and letter from Judge
Wood accepting it.
Judge Clifford then announced that the whole
case was now ready for argument, and under the
Sd rule the counsel would be allowed two hours
on each side.
Merrick said they had to ask the indulgence of
being heard by three counsel, and that as some
important questions had arisen this A. NJ, that
the time be extended another hour.
The commission granted the extension asked,
anu AZ quarter vi IL JuuSe loauley commenced
his argument.
He commended that the tender Of Humphreys
resignation to the Judge IN Ohio, and acceptance
of the same by judge in Ohio, was not an act of
the circuit court of Florida; that therefore the
resignation of Humphreys had not been legally
accepted, and that he was consequently at that
time holding an office Of profit and loss under the
United states, and therefore ineligible as an
eector. lie argued that the effect of the dsqual-
ihcation extended not only to the elector but to
the State which appointed him.
In conclusion Mr.. Green contended that the
laws passed by the legislature of Florida, since
January LIST, in relation to the recent election,
were not ex post facto laws, within the meaning
of the constitution. lie gave notice to the other
side that under the order of the court they should
insist that the commission could look into pro-
ceedngs under the quo warranto.
Mr.. Shellabarger followed on the other side.
lie SAID since he heard the decision of the COM
mission that it had refused to hear testimony in
relation TO the quo warranto proceedings, he had
thought all discussions of that subject uncalled
for.
After further arguments by Mr.. Shellaberger,
Mr. Evarts addressed the Commission, contend
ing that Humphreys resignation was legally eff
iec:ive.
Mr. Merrick closed the argument on the demo-
cratic side, and the commission adjourned until 10
o clock tomorrow.

Popular OfficiaI Rene IN here Il.

A most pleasing affair occurred at the office Of
the Secretary of State last evening. \ company
Of gentlemen, some fifty or sixty in number,
marched into the Office bearing an elegant silver
tea service of seven pieces, together with an ice
pitcher, goblet, fruit basket, and other articles,
fifteen pieces in ALL costing in the aggregate SlO7,
which were presented to Hon. S. j. Chadbourne,
Secretary of State. A very happy presentation
speech was made by b. F. Chadbourne, Esq, Of
WATERFORD, in the following words
My DEAR SIR VIII you allow us to present
you with something in token of our appreciation
of the many kndnesses we have received at your
hands, and our tender memories oil our intercourse
with you in our several official capacities. We do
it, sir, feeling that its intrinsic value is in no de-
gree a measure of our willingness to give, but
hoping that in future years it serves its pur-
pose, you will think of your true friends.
We hope that the pathway Of your future may be
strewn with Gods richest blessings; that your
good and ill fortune of the past may serve only as
Furnishing process, to develop a bright and
prosperous after-life.
The recipient was taken by surprise entirely,
not even having hint that such things were in
store for him, but he had ready way of respond
ing, as follows:
Mr.. CHADBoURNE-I desire to extend TO you
personally, and through you to the donors, my
heartfelt gratitude for this expression of friend
ship and esteem. Words are inadequate to ex-
press the deep emotion 18th which | am over
whelmed. am not capable Of giving expression
to the feelings that press upon at this moment,
but assure you | am sensible of your great kind
ness. and fully appreciate the honor you do me-
These articles have a double value. They W ill
be highly priced for their intrinsic value, but
token of your regard they Of incompatible
worth. l am not aware OF any act Of mine that
entities me to such an expression of high consid-
Grafton, but if my intercourse with you has been
fsuch a nature as to win your personal friendship
and respect, the knowledge of it is more precious
to me than gold, and trust no future conduct of
mine ill cause you to regret that l have been
ranked among you personal friends.
Once more allow me to tender my sincere thanks
for this munifcent gift. | understand there was
no bull-dozing in the canvass, therefore | shall
not go behind the certificates, but am willing to
accept the result on the face Of the returns.
1t was very handsome testimonial from Mr.
Chadbourne's many friends in the legislature
without regard to party. Conspicuous among the
getters up of the affair were Messrs. Porter, Chad
bourne, Dr. Robbins, DIR. johnson and Senator
Webb.
