Kasson and MoCrary. who represent tho 9e-
puboans, rpoke against it, but failed to COM
plete their arguments. They asked FOR more
tims to complete these rguments--evtdently
aiming TO delay the commission--but were re-
fueed this time.
Glr. OConor, representing The Democratic
party, moved this morning that certain evidence
affecting tho certificates from Florida be nd
mitted. This motion was opposed by Mr.. Evarts
This question was regarded as u teat one as to
the powers OF the co ommission, and clicited con-
siderable argument on both sides.
Judge Miller, fthe Supreme Court, moved that
two hours be allowed Tor argument on the piont of
the n imittance Of evidence. This point will prob
ably decide the Florida case, as that case depends
upon what latitude s allowed in the mater OF
evidence.
The probability is thstthe commission will de-
eide that 1t is court OF equity, and that it has
the power to examine fully into all the questions
that affect the voto of Florida, and to take evil
dence thereon.
The argument so far has been decidedly TO tho
advantage of the Democrats, and their confidence
has greatly increased over the action Of the COM
mission for the past two days A. L. q.

NOn-COmbnstible Wood.

The San Francisco Mail says cat a
melting Of the California Academy OF
Sciences last evening, Dr. Behr called
attention to a eucalyptus tree standing
in the grounds Of the old German Hospi-
tai, on Brannan street. The tree had
passed through the fire of August, 1876,
and exhibited the popularity of resist
ing the action of the fames-a property
we'll understood in Australia. DIR. Kel-
logg stated that eucalyptus shingles
were in common use in Australia, on
account of their being fre-proof 1t
was impossible to fire a roof made of
this material. There were some 131
species of eucalypti, but all seemed to
possess this non-combustible property
to some extent. Dr. Gibbon said that
the planting of trees in the public streets
would be an important means of check
ing confagration, and, as the euea[
yptus seemed to be peculiarly valuable
for that purpose and for building, the at
tention Of the public and timber-grow-
ers should be called to it"
