CHICAGO. Feb. 6. - The Tribune's
Washington special gives the follow
ing resume Of the points made in
Evarts speech. which was evidently the
work of master hand, and is q very
logical, comprehensive and clear state
ment Of his argument: The only evidence
for the Commission to consider is that
which gives to the basis of fact and
record on which the Governors certif-
cate is founded by the decision Of the
State Canvassers. Beyond this it can
not go. If this boundary Of final deter
minative State action be passed, there is
no limit to investigation. Until it is
ascertained how every man voted; if the
Governors certificate is forgery; or if
it certiies to falsehood, the Commits
sion can go back Of it, 30 the fact to be
certified to is the finding OF the lawful
canvassing authority. The States own
record of the result Of the election il con-
elusive. There could exist no adequate
power to 60 behind; that would of ne.
cessity be judicial in its nature. and no
plenary judicial powers have been con-
ferred by the law upon any tribunal ex-
cept one inferior to the Supreme Court.
The Commission is not court, and has
no power to adopt methods OF trials for
determining the rights OF individuals.
A quo ,caranto proceeding involves a
trial OF jury, and common law interposes
q barrier to the Commission assuming to
go to such an issue as to the alleged in
eligibility OF Humphreys, one Of the
Florida electors, that has been looked
into by the State Canvassing Board,
which examined him under oath and
found him to be qualified. There is no
act OF Congress for ascertaining whether
an elector ia qualified or not. Congress
can not entertain questions OF proof. II
disqualified elector passes the obser.
walton OF the voters and the guards Of
the State law, his vote must stand I'M.
challangeable. If the certificate should
show the electors were Senators o,
Representatives in Congress, their votes
could be rejected, because no element o.
extraneous proof would be involved, bu
the disqualification would be matter
of ocular and personal knowledge. The

in State Court, while duly appointed
electors are performing their duties. car
not affect the legality of their action; ne
