The Cairo bulletin. [volume] (Cairo, Ill.) 1872-1878, 1877-02-03

The Presiding Justice--it 10 suggeseods
and think very properly. that the doors
now be opened, and that proper persons
be admitted.
THE FLORIDA CERTIFICATES.
Justice Bradiey-I understand there
are three certificates from the State of
Florida that have been sent to us. l
should think the proper course would be
to haye these three certificates read. and
then % each is read let the parties be
called upon to state whether they are OBJ
jected to and who are the directors. I'm
til We read those certificates or hear them
read we DO net know what we have be.
fore Us. After that time it will be time
to take such other order In regard to
proceeding a. may be necessary.
The Presiding Justice-I will adopt
that suggestion without vote.
Justice Miller-I had the pleasure, sir,
if it was pleasure, of listening to the
reading of these documents In the house
of Representatives. II the papers about
the State of Florida are read it will take
an hour to read them. The directors
names are signed to the papers making
the objection. l presume they will be
printed. Theyl certainly ought to be
printed, and then everybody can read
them without consuming an hours time
in doing that which every man will want
| to do for himself more carefully. think
if Brother Bradley had known, as l
know, the length of these papers, he
would perhaps withdraw his motion.
The Presiding Justice-Does Justice
Bradley withdraw his motion?
Justice Bradley--I did not made mo.
ton merely made suggestion.
PRINTING THE DOCUMENTS.
Representative Payne--I move that
the certificates with papers be printed at
as early an hour as possible.
The Presiding Justice-The motion
before the commission is that the three
certificates in the case Of Florida be
printed with the objection thereto. II
that is your pleasure you will say aye
quitting the question:. II is agreed to.
How soon can they be printed?
Justice Field-Should VIC not have
copies OF the paper presented?
The Presiding Justice-I suppose the
certifcates..and objections may be printed
In very short time. The secretary will
understand that the motion is intended
to. include tho certificates, the objections
and papers that accompany the ccrtif-
Gates, and nothing else. 1t is desirable
that they should be printed with as little
delay ~ possible. That matter being
disposed OF I am requested to inquire II
there is counsel present who will take
part after the managers or directors have
stated the case on one side and on the
other.
MIR. Evarts-Mr. President, MIR. Sena-
tor Sargent has come and will state
hat he has 20 say in that regard.
The Presiding Justice-I will with.
draw the inquiry as put and say to Mr..
Sargent that inquiries have been made as
to objectors, ~ M TEf p.
MIR. sargent-The directors, the per.
sons whose names are signed to the
papers, are Senators Conover, Sargent

oers OF the house, Tha.a nupral'- mann
opportunity up to this moment of con
sulting with these gentlemen to ascertain
which Of them will state to the commits
sion their objections. rgesh
The Presiding Justice-Two directors
may represent the case in this tribunal.
Senator Sargent-So we understand by
the rules.
The Presiding Justice-Who are the
two?
Senator Sargent-There has been no
opportunity for consultation to ascertain
which of the directors would present the
matter to the court.
The Presiding Justice-Please make
known to the commission as soon As con.
venient.
Senator Sargent-Ws will do so.
The Presiding Justice-Will MIR. Field
state the names Of directors on the other
side.
- DEMOCRATIC DIRECTORS.
= Representative Ficld-The directors to
the first return are Senator Jones OF
Florida and Senator Cooper and Repre-.
sentatiyss Thompson, jerks and myself.
Representative Abbott-Mr. President,
desire to inquire whether the motion
made in reference to printing covers the
printing of all papers that are sent here |
with objections, because it seems to me |
that we are to consider all tho papers
sent with objections, and 1t is just as ma
terisl for us to have those papers printed
80 that we can consider them as it is TO
have the objections themselves.
The Presiding Justice-I do not under
stand the vote. in that way at present
IL is that the certificates with obiec-
tons and papers which accompany Ger.
fifcates shall be printed, not all papers
hat may have been sent.
Representative Abbott suggest.
aen' that II we arc to consider the papers
accompanying the objections, tLey NAV
y some time be made apart OF the cause.
Inc objections themselves would hardly ,
De understood without the papers, and
We should have those papers printed or
put in such form as will enable us to act
,n them.
