Not even a gre'ie -spot will he left of them. Mr. Hewitt, it iRallege(d, will testify that ho received three oilers from the Returning Board not to stcal the State from Tilden-for a consideration. The Electoral Commission, it is thought, will report upon the Elec tion in Florida to-drv. If the de cision favors Tilden the problem is solved, as he needs but one voter If Hayes captures Florida despite the decisiol of the Supreme Court and the admiission of Glen.

The (l(1lration bv the Speakeo is merely the anni ounce, meut of the result, and it muustrtand until the defeat:od faspirant contstis the election before the Legislature. The constitution provides that the Speaker of the House shall publish the voto. Then, and not till then, can both houses consider the regu larity or irregularity of the returns. A strict compliancO with the consti tution would have compelled even E. W. M. Mackey to declare hlamup ton elected, for no authority vested in the Legislature, before the d1ec'la ration of the vote, to reject anmy counities.

Just as Miss Neilson was leaving the delegate from Sirry was speaking, but he looked around to see her bofore she left, and as his eyes fell upon her he either forgot that he was speakcing or was struck dumb by the beauty of the actress. He stopped right in I the middle of a sentence, in the niidst of the most convincing part. of his argument, and in the mod eloquent portion of his speech, and seemed utterly lost for speech. The House of Delegates of Virginia fairly shook. It roared. This ro stored Mr. Clarke, and, like a man who had waked fromt a dream, he went on with his speech.
