The Quito ok.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Tiie general
impression that argument before the
electoral commission concerning the
Florida case will be necessarily closed
to-day, is erroneous. Arguments on
the very important question of the adj
instability of evidence will be con-
cluded to-day, and the commission will
then hold u secret session for delibera-
ton on that question, but after the
announcement of its decision argu-
ments will doubtless be heard on other
points, 50 that the final decision of the
case is not expected until the latter
part of the week.
Enthusiastic partisans on both sides
express equal confidence as to the ma
ture of the commissions ultimate de-
cision, but the wish is evidently father
to the thought in all such predictions,
and dispassionate observers consider
the result Of the controversy as no less
doubtful to-day than it was two weeks
ago. The Democratic expectation of a
decision in their favor has been
strengthened by Littletield's and Mad
dox's damaging testimony against the
president of the Louisiana returning
board, but well informed Republicans
say that even if the electoral commits
sion concludes TO take their testimony
into consideration, they will lie shown
to lie utterly unworthy of belief. Lit
tletield has already been greatly broken
down by cross-examiration, and it is
predicted that Gov. Wells, whenever
afforded opportunity to testify, will he
able to prove that Maddox wholly mis-
repre- scented him.

Is to be a part of the evidence which c.
O'Conor Is trying to induce the COM

O'Conor Is trying to induce the COM
mission to consider. The testimony be-
fore the Fields committee, of which
Knott used to be chairman, has not
been reported to the House, nor any
part of il. No member of the commit
tee has any rights in regard to the use
of it which are not possessed by any pri-
vate citizen, but some one las culled
out of the mass Of testimony taken,
such parts of it as relate to Florida and
suit the Democratic case. For instance,
there are included parts of the testimo-
ny of telegraph operators, without cross
examination in all cases. Only those
extracts are made which, uncontradict-
ed and unexplained are supposed to aid
in some way the Democratic cause.
There are parts Of Chandler's testimo-
ny and rearsay stories and bogus tele-
grams. A similar pamphlet has been
prepared on the evidence in Louisiana
as the Florida document. He has intro
duced a part of the evidence of Kenner,
of the Louisiana returning board, show
ing his occupation and something about
the Vernon parish returns. No such
indecent abuse of tile powers of a COM
mittee, not of its rights, has ever been
attemI ted by any member of Congress.
The Republican members of the COM
mittee appear to be thoroughly scared
and overawed by Field, but they ought
to summon courage to have this bust
ness investigated and bring it before
the House, to find out whether the
Democratic majority will sustain such
proceedings.

commission, of which Senator Jones is

eddy be the most valuable document on
the silver qu~estion.that las ever been

pains to ascertain the exact amount of
silver produced in this country, and his
Investigations have been so thorough
t.iat his statistics will undo ultedly lie
universally receiv> d as correct.
