forged electoral certificates is adverted to
very pointedly, showing that even if the vote
of Louisiana had been properly cast for Mr..
Hayes it was illegally counted for him by
reason of fatal informalities in the returns.
The extraordinary powers vested in the
returning board of Louisiana is the subject
of remark, and attention is directed to the
fact that that body practically has control of
the elections, and by arbitrary decisions can
defeat the will of the people at pleasure.
This power is SO unrepublican that it has al
ready created serious symptoms of rebellion,
and if not curtailed may lead to results not
at all pleasurable to contemplate.
The report as whole is q calm, temperate
document, evidently matured after the most
deliberate consideration. It appeals to no
prejudices. It simply presents facts that
have been we'll ascertained~ and draws the
conclusions from those facts that are newt
able. It will have a salutary effect upon the
public in more ways than one. It will con-
firm the conviction of nine-tenths of the
people that Hayes has no just title to the
Office he holds, while showing that the policy
of the Democratic party has been free from
faint, and that that party submitted to a
manifest defraudment rather than jeopardize
the peace of the nation.

THE LEGISLATURE.
A JOLLY LITTLE DEBATE TN. TEfE
SENATE LAST NIGHT,
Railroad Discrimination Almost Makes a
Rumpus-$1S,5OO for Enlarging the
Rochester Insane Hospital.-The Second
State Prison Very Dead-An Avalanche
of General Business.
THE SENATE.

The Senate had a lengthy session yester-
day, morning, afternoon and evening. A
large number Of bills were introduced, it be-
ing the last day but one on which new bills
will be received. A correspondingly large
amount of business was done in the way of
committee reports, and of local bills passed
under suspended rules. A few bills were
passed under the regular order, they being
chiefly of a local nature. At the evening
session the topic which monopolized the
greater portion of time was Senator D..
Bucks bill relating to railroad discrimina-
lions, and it being of reasonable, if not
even of a mild character, its friends hoped to
pass it. What appeared at first to be rather
a timid criticism of the measure, however,
rapidly developed into opposition of the
most decided character, and amendments
emasculating its salient features were adopt
ed until its author denied it's paternity, and,
on motion of the friends of bill, it was in
definitely postponed.

SPEAKER G1LMAN's sbill providing for q
commission to decide upon the site and
make the preliminary arrangements for the
location of second State prison, met an
ignominious fate in the House yesterday.
Mr.. Gilman left the chair some time before
the report of the committee came up, and
when tbs occasion arrived did all in his
power to gain his point. He had previously
labored hard, and yesterday he made a
special effort to secure favorable action. The
sentiment of the House was against him,
however, and bis bill was indefinitely post
poned. The speaker can congratulate him
self upon having made a gallant fight against
great odds, and upon having received the
support of q very respectable minority of
the House,

THE POTTER REPORT.

The report of the Potter committee, pub
lished in the GLOBE of yesterday, will COM
mend itself to the public generally, without
regard to party predictions. It cannot in
fairness be called a partisan document, for
there is little or nothing of partisanship in
it, 1t is simply careful digest of the evil
dence submitted-that portion of the evil
denoe that cannot or has not been impeached
with deductions drawn from the facts thus
presented.
In the matter of the Florida election, the
committee rely upon we'll and estab-
lished facts in their conclusion that the
Hayes electors were not legally chosen. The
report recites the various legal proceedings
had how the canvassers delayed declara-
ton of the vote until the last moment al
lowed by law, and then relates the iudg-
ment of the supreme court of
that State which subsequently decided
that the Hayes electors were not and
the Tiiden electors were elected. The iudg-
ment Of the court is further sustained by q
recital of the fact that the Democratic can
didate for Governor of the State procured a
re-canvass of the vote, and as result of that
re-canvass was declared elected by majority
of considerable dimensions.
To persons who sincerely desire to arrive
ut the truth in this matter it is necessary
only to peruse the document referred to. No
more conclusive proofs could be obtained
than the calm, judicial treatment Of the case
as relates TO the electoral vote of Florida,
If, after reading the brief report of the COM
inittee under this head, any man can say that
Hayes was honestly elected to the Office he
now holds, that man is past conviction Of
error.
AS to Louisiana it is very evident that the
committee has labored under doubts. The
character of the witnesses from that State
was not such as to inspire respect. Ander-
son, Weber, Mrs. jerks, and one or two
others were wholly unworthy of credence,
and though they created sensation in the
brief hour they stalked upon the stage, the
committee discards their evidence entirely.
as of no account whatever. Stress is laid
upon the fact. however, that while the Hayes
electors received three thousand votes less
than Packard, the former were declared
chosen. while tho latter was deprived OF

Mr.. SHANKs offered resolution in the
House yesterday, which was adopted after a
little debate, limiting debate to one speech
from any one member upon any one subject,
and restricting that speech to five minutes,
with two minutes for explanations. At this
stage OF the session such q rule is eminently
proper. Too many members wish to air
their eloquence Oh unimportant measures,
and often on matters Of general interest. A
man competent to be member of the legis-
lature ought to be able to compress his
views into fve-minute speech. If he can
not do SO he ought to be cholzed off.

On last Sunday German farmer, whose name
we were unable to ascertain, had runaway
which nearly cost him his life. He was slightly
under the influence of liquor and his team not
travelling fast enough to suit him, he got out of
the wagon, cut off a heavy branch of tree
with which he belabored one of the horses, at
the same time holding by the bridle The
startled horses not liking this mode of punish
ment plunged about for few moments. and
then started down the road at full speed. The
driver chung to the bride for short distance,
the hoofs of the horse striking him in various
places. His strength giving out, he was COM
PEELED to let co. and as he fell, the horses hoof
struck him over the eye, making bad cash,
and rendering him insensible. The team did
not run great way before they slackened their
speed, and were caught by a couple of gentle
men who were coming in the opposite direo-
ton, and who brought them back to where the
farmer was slowly returning to consciousness.
A rough application of snow brought him to
his senses considerably the worse for his late
experience, but with the determination to drive
that team home, which he did after the wound
on his head was dressed. It will probably be
some time before he attempts to whip his
horses il the same manner again.
