LOUISIANA IN THE SENATE.

When the action of the Electoral
Commission in refusing to receive evil
| det,ce to show fraud in the counting o!
tho vote of Louisiana by Wells & Co.,
| was reported in the Senate, II sharp de-
bate took place, Il portion of which is
thus reported in the dispatches:
Mr.. Bogy referred to the proceedings
before. the Electoral Commission, and
! said the Commission in the case 81;
Florida laid down the rules tor its
guidance First, that they would not
! investigate anything which had trans
! PRED before or preceding the return
made by the Gov crnOr, excepting in re-
intion to the eligibility of the Electors.
Their decision left that question open
for investigation, by 4 vote OF to :. 1t
was of course believed Ivy the whole,
country that the same rule would be APP
piled to Louisiana. Who on earth
would have doubted the propriety O:
the application OF that rule, when it
had been enforced in the case Of the
State of Florida? That decision was re-
versed. We know that member CT
| that Commission, but yesterday, chuug-
ell his position on that subject, and
while it was competent in the State q!
! anime whether Electors were, or were
| not eligible under the Constitution OF
| the United States, when the motion
was made by the Senator from Della
ware, Mr.. Bayard, TO apply the same
rule to Louisiana, the decision was re-
versed. The case has been made SO
plain by counsel, 81 strong, SO irrCtuta-
BILE, that such an examination could
not take place without proving, beyond
the possibility of doubt, that more than
one Elector from that State was not en-
titled to the position of Elcctor, because
he was not eligible, and this decision
was changed by this Commission. Sir,
the names Of Jeflreys aud Marlborough
have come down to us for ages past GOV
cred with disgrace and shame, because
they were corrupt Judges, and the
uame of that nau who changed his
vote on that Commission, Justice Brad
ley, will so down to after ages disgrace
ed. His name will be associated with
Marlborough and Jeffreys, and it never
will tie pronounced without hiss

from all good men in this country.
Mr.. Morton said he had heard with
regret the remarks made by the Scna-
tor from Missouri, in regard to Mr..
Justice Bradley. Ii that Senator could
have heard the discussions Of the Eiec-
toral Commission, us he (Morton)
heard them, he would not have made
such remarks. The time would come
when tho opinions OF the members OF
the Commission would be published,
and he WAS sure the Senator would
then see he had done an act of injus-
tice to an able and conscientious Judge.

Senator Davis, when he was judge,
had Il shrewd way OF his own. Once at
indianapolis, which was within his cir
c;lit, lawyer named ketchum was
ready when his ease was called, but his
opponent was absent and had sent word
that he couldn't arrive for an hour or
two. ketchun insisted on proceeding
at once. The Judge demonstrated in
favor of the abscnti lawyer, but to no
purpose. SWELL, - said he, finally, ssit
you insist upon going on, Mr.. kctch-
UNI, you have, OF course, tue technical
right to do so; but if l were you
