mandments, we will let that point go, and
merely inquire, on behalf of the public, wlmt
the certificate" was which was required"
and what il was that was received
I" of Russia" and what it was that
somebody was TO "hand over" Also
WHY, if Mr.. Marble sent this dispatch,
as there is every reason to suppose he did
and it contained nothing he would have been
ashamed to have others find out, he did not
sign his name to it.-But, OF course MI
Marble will explain.

Here Mr.. Marbe-or sOmebody-revels in
the tangle of his words. Some result" seems
TO have been "promised," and the writer
seems to think he "cannot be cheated" Some
thing is to be done "to-night," and there IS
figure "ten" named, and mysterious al
fusion to midnight" there seems to be
something about Democratic votes that
ELECTORS" have "agreed twas it, to
casts =; and there is something about
" distrust" and "chance," and something Is
evidently "cheap." Or was this all cipher,
and does it cover an entirely innocent trans
action9 OF course, Mr.. Marble will explain.
"Moses again, actually engaged, we regret
to say, in close and hard fight" aud plainly
in need of the "rope exercise" that might be
found at a ropes end:
To Colonel PELTON:
Downright unless but be Florida rope exercise may in
London 10 Senate France give TO Moses fight close Is fair

(SO sienature)
Somebody is to have " full powers; :" Moses"
is perfectly discreet" and Colonel Pelton is
apparently informed that ait will be taken
I" for granted that Rome is trustworthy"
Add to this the following dispatch to Manton
Marble, evidently from the Democratic head
centre
NEw-YoRK, 3.

The next day the following dispatch, singu-
larry like the former and yet so unlike that IL
could hardly have been merely repeated
message, was sent 10 Mr.. Marble:
NEw-YoRK, Dec. 4, C.
ITALIA, Fla. 4
MANToN MARBLs
Lima should important in once be concert council and
letter n trust YOU then very no Warsaw can Cox
done time him divided act only Bolivia with and consult
here.

This IL all very queer. There is no great
significance, perhaps, in the fact that Mr..
Marble used cipher. He had an undOubted
right TO keep his own counsel. But the hints
that escape even from his ciphers cannot fail
to arouse suspicion. The Florida Board
of Canvassers was sitting as court
representatives of both parties appeared
before it. This was all. When case Is ar
gued before the Supreme Court, do we have
cipher kilograms flying about, saying that
somebody is perfectly discreet" and
wanting to know if somebody else is
Trustworthy y; that something can be done
eff you can trust Fox" or Cox; and
giving repeated injunctiOns from Now-York
to "act only with Bolivia and consult here"
Why consult here What had NewYork
to do with the decision of the Florida Board
of Canvassers People have not forgotten
that Mr. Marble has never chosen to
deny that he held out bait to McLin.
Verify, the trail of the Oregon serpent seems
to be over Florida, and it looks very much
as il some dirty work had been done there in
which Mr.. Manton Marble had hand. VIII
