sires to let off when the room is crowd
ed, and there being but few persons
present tonight except lawyers and
judges, the time was not propitious
and not to his taste. 1t was the inten
zion of the Commission. in spite of the
forced adjournment to night, to it'll
the arguments were concluded.
There were seven hours and a
half remaining under the agree
ment to extend the time, but it
is quite possible that the Republican
counsel will not use all the time to
which they have a right. Only those
points which relate to ineligibiliiy oi
electors are regarded AS needing muc
argument. Democrats can gain moth
ing in any other part of their case,
unless the ruling in the Florida case
is reversed. The Commission no
doubt Intended in favor of a decision
to cover all the disputed States.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA.
Carpenter, on the rea>sembling of
the Electoral Commission this morn
ing, resumed his argument, contend
ing that the Constitution of the United
states forbade conferring judicial pow
err upon the Returning Board of Louis
lana, and that any law of the 5 ate
which attempted to confer such power
was void. The Returning Board. had
it possessed judicial powers, had gone
outside of its power. The statute re-
quires duplicate returns TO be made
within "a hours, and such returns
were not made within Is days. He
read from the report of HOar, Wheeler
and Frye, to show how this delay
could be taken advantage of to change
the result. and said they were pre-
pared to show that 10000 voters had
been DISTINGUISHED.
Senator Howe went upon the theory
that II the plainiitfs' agents commit
robbery d~efendants' agent may COM
init robbery. This was a matter tor

viou>ly quoted, and said: Won d

find himself elected by the very means
he condemned. He did not deny
there were wrongs perpetrated in the
South, but they we're produced by lille

thorough examination of this case by
this tribunal would doe TO re-

ments OF soldiers.
Trumbull said he supposed they
should now present evidence of fraud,

of the Returning Board, of which

were accused likewise OF sins OF ouis
sion, and proof thereof offered to I've

The question sprung up as to the
time to be allowed for argument On
the question a. to the admissibility OF
the evidence offered.
Thurman thought the case conld be
expedited by allowing the evidence to
go in, subject to oijectors, instead OF
frilleriiig away time IN The adnissipiii
ty of testimony. He Thought it was
making this Commission a Court of
Common Pleas instead OF a great tri-

at the end of ten days they might find

Bradley thought they should go on
in the manne similar to the course
pursued IN the Florida case.

so that when the Commission went
