TERRIBLE COLLIERY DISASTER. Ei?lilocn T)c:ul Uo<li??. Uocovorod?A Hcnrtrt'lldillK SffllC. A correspondent of the London Ti)nc8 writes fVom Bolton : In the course of their oxploration Messrs. Dickenson and M:?vtin came across the whole of the vightoeu bodies of those killed by tlie terrible colliery disaster ; lifteen of them were huddled together in :v group ; some were kneeling on the ground with their .... ? Aidiitir* V <*: > II ill 4 ) UUK'IO wore seated on the wagon way, anil had apparently awaited death with composure, while others again were lying on their faces, with their lingers deeply imbedded in the earth, testifying t<> the desperate efforts they had made to crawl out of the suffocating smoke. Mr. Dickenson states that if these poor fellows could only have managed to battle their way for forty yards further they would have been safe. Two others were found within twenty-five yards of a working that was clear from smoke, while the eighteenth was discovered within nineteen yards of what would have been a haven of safety. The tlow of water into the pit was stopped, and about seven o'clock the whole of the bodies were conveyed to the piteye, and placed in tubs, and covered with sheets ready for removal. The rumor that the bodies had been found spread rapidly through the district, aud some thousands of persons soon congregated around the pit bank. In order to allay the excitement which prevailed the police adopted a very pardonable nwc, and informed the crowd that the deceased would not be brought to the surface till liicltf?:i liinf wliieli hn.il the effect of considerably thinning the numbers of those present. The winding up of the dead bodies eommeneed at eight o'clock. They "were brought out of the pit in couples and propelled along a tramway into the colliery yard, where thev were placed on stretchers and carried into the joiner's sh< >p. One of the first, to be deposited on the bare ground vas Daniel Walker, the heroic fireman. He was in a partly nude state, with his hands folded over his breast, and his features as calm and peaceful as though he had been sleeping. The faces of the majority of the dead were not much swollen, while in not a few instances blood oozed from their eyes, nose and ears. All died from ^ asphyxia. There was not the slightest sign of a burn on any one. One poor fellow had been stricken down while in . the act of putting on his shirt. He had one arm through the sleeve, but the other portion was sti'l on his head when lie fell, apparently lifeless, to the ground, j The poor boy Shorrocks, who was found in his father's arms, had apparently passed into eternity without a paug of 1 pain, judging from the happy expression 011 his features. He was a tine looking j lad, even in death, and when he was lifted out of the tub and placed on the j ground with his safety lamp beside him, | there was a uuiw rsal expression of sym- j pathy. By nine o'clock the whole of the deceased had been placed in the work- I shop, and a number of women were at | one- introduced into the place for the purpose of making the necessary preparations prior to the bodies being placed iu . eoilins. The faces and feet of all the uu- j fortunate men were washed, after | which a few of their bereaved friends ; were admitted in order to testify as to j their identification. The scene was most ; heartrending, sufficient to try the nerves , of the strongest present. Collecting Subscriptions. A London barrister recently received i a letter from a school l>o:ir?l election ' agent to Ihis effect : " Sir?I am deeply | interested in procuring the return of Mr. j for the hoard, and, knowing your i views upon educational matters, have I taken the liberty of placing your name j upon his committee. I have further | ventured to put down your name sis a ! subscriber of live guineas toward his ex- ! penses, and unless von notify to me on j or before the ?th that you do not con- 1 cur in these arrangements, I shall take ! the further liberty of assuming that you > acquiesce in them, and that I may look j to you for the subscription recorded to your name." The barrister promptly replied : "Sir j ? I regret that 1 cannot accept the offers j made by you to me in your letter of yes- : terday. I may, however, mention -that I ; am deeply interested in raising a fund to j provide for the necessities of a destitute ! and deserving widow lady. Knowing j your charitable disposition, I have taken ! the liberty of putting down your name j as a subscriber for ten guineas, and since i bis dat qui citodaf, I shall, unless I hear ; to the contrary from you by midday to- ! morrow, venture to assume that you ac- i cept my offices on your behalf, and that j I may lo:>k to you for that amount of | sunseription. Early next morning came a messenger in haste, in a cab, bearing a letter from the agent. " So sorry, but the pressing calls upon his purse forbade him to accept Mr. 's kind offices." A Lucky Fall. Perhaps richer specimens, but certainly no more beautiful ones, have ever j been taken from any mine than are now beiug obtained from a recently discovered lodin Jimt iwu. The story runs that for months the miners, in going to and from their daily labors, have traveled . along a certain p ith, wearing the earth | a way to a rock. A vein was thus brought i to light which presented no attractions j t > tin* prospector, aud was trod upon as j of no account. A laborer, two weeks ; ag.?, swung a sledge upon his shoulder, j and started early in the morning for his ! accustomed toil on the mountain side, j Itc-aching the vein, he carelessly allowed the heavy stone breaker to fall upon a projecting point, and thereby detached j several pieces of the vein matter. The ' white character of the rock, and its glit- 1 tering particles disclosed to him one of I the richest mine* in the world. Liberally | full were the white specimens with bright particles of almost pure gold ; and, although a shaft has been sunk to the depth of nine feet, the rock increases in J richuess, and at the bottom very thin strips of wire gold seem to hold together i the fragmentary parts of the vein matter. Untold wealth is the sure possession of j the men, Virdeu and Griffin, who own this treasure vault of the hills.?Denver j A Trotting Team of Oxen. The Cheyenne leader pays: Dexter, ' the tamer of bovines, created a great.; sensation 011 the streets bv aimonrinc in ' a carriage drawn by four milk white oxen, all in harness and driven tandem.

Mr. Halo (Hep.), of Maine, rose to a privi> j leiced question and read a letter which had been i addressed to him from J. Madison Wells and . Thomas C.

Wells) was now on his sickbed. ) I Mr. Hale said his attention had been called In , j this letter to the matter. He had gone to the : j cell in which the prisoners were confined^ and ! had found it a damp, dark room into which a j gleam of sunlight could never penetrate, and t j which had to be illuminated by gas. The an i was poisonous, and one of the prisoners, an old j man over seventy years of age, lay on his bed ! of sickness. It was inhuman to keen them in | such a room, and he therefore offered a resolu] tion directing the sergeant-at-arms to remove : j the prisoners to a well lighted and well venti lati.-d room, where their health may not be i endangered. i Mr. Ce>x moved to refer the resolution to the | special committee on the election in Louisiana, , I with instructions fo report speedily to the j House whether such a state of affairs does exI ist as is stated in the communication of .T, I Madison Wells and Thomas C. Anderson, and it I was so referred. { Mr. Morrison CDcni.), of Illinois, chairman ol i j the special committee on Louisiana affairs, sub ; mitted the rciiurt of that committee, which con eludes with a resolution declaring that the i Democratic electors received a majority of the , votes in the State of Louisiana ; that "the pretended canvass and compilation of the vote foi electors by the board of returning officers v.as , ! withe) it authority of law, fraudulent and void, , and that the vote of that State cannot be count' ed for Hayes and Wheeler without con!ilining . and approving tbe illegal and fraudulent actior , of the said returning board. , Mr. Townsend (Rep.), of Pennsylvania, submitted a minority report recommending the , adoption of a resolution declaring that the . Republican electors have been elected in Louisi . ana. and that the election was examined into , determined, declared and promulgated bv th< . proper authorities of said State, under ail the forms of law and in compliance with the Con [ stitution of the United States. .

C. Iluinjihreys, \Y. H. HoKlen ant i Thomas \V. J.ong, as electors fur Presideii' r and Vice-President, would be a violation of tin i | Constitution of the United States." t I The Senate withdrew, so that the Housi - might consider and determine the objections As soon as the House had coinc to order. J Mr. Lvnde, of Wisconsin, moved that tin - House take a recess from Saturday until tei i o'clock Monday. i The Republican members objected to this i asserting that it was the duty of the body to gc ; on and settle the matter, and an exciting dis 1 eussion followed. During the discussion ai ; appeal was made from the decision of tin - ( Cliair, but the Chair was sustained bv a voteoi 3 15(! to 7l>, and the House by a vote of 103 t< 2 108 voted to adjourn. Mr. Field |l)em.J, of New York, for the pur 2 pose of bringing the Florida matter before tin i House in due form, offered the following order (frih rrd, That the counting of the electora votes from the State of Florida shall not pro eeed in conformity with the decision of tlx f ; Electoral commission, but that the votes oi ; j Messrs. Call, Yonge, Hilton and Pullock b? i" j counted as tlie votes from the State of Florid.' i* i for President and Vice-President of the Unitei t , States. 1 ! Mr. Hale [Kep. |, of Maine, moved an amend c | ment as follows: s j Order ai, That the counting f the electora - votes from the State of Florida shall proceet $ | in conformity with the decision of the Electora I commission. Mr. Hale made the point of order against ] : further amendments that under the Electoral < > commission law it was the imperative dutyof ? a i tlio House, at the end of the two hours' debate, ] lo voie on uio main qneBtion, wmcn wan i ~ whether the votes should be counted in con- 1 foruiity with the decision find that nothing in ] j the shape of delay, in whatever form presented, < could now arrest tne wheels of its decision. i s The debate closed after many exciting < ' speeches on both sides and the House pro- ] ceeded to vote on the question. The amend- i n.ent offered by Mr. Hale wr* rejected by yeas ] ~ ninety-seven, nays 107, and the original res'olu- 1 tion offered by Mr. Field was adopted by yeas ] _ IfiS. navs 108, a party vote, except that Mr. : i Vhitehonse, of New York, voted with the lie- } i ' publicans. It was then ordered, on motion of j' Mr. Field, that the clerk inform the Senate of j i the action of the House, and also that tho 11 _ i House is now ready to meet the Senate in the j hall of the House. * ? Mr. Seeley [Rep.], of Massachusetts, from j > the committee on Indian affairs, reported a bill 1 amending the act authorizing tho Seneca nation i i ; of Indians of New York to lease lands within 1 1 the Cattaraugus and Allegheny reservations. 1 Passed. j The House proceeded to the consideration of the report of the committee on the election in ; Florida, declaring that tho Tilden electors had .! ! been elected in that State. Wilson [Rep.], of Iowa, said lie did not want to be bothered with any such funeral business. Hopkins [Hem.], | of Pennsylvania, in presenting the report, spoke ' upon it, and Dunnell [Rep.], of Minnesota, who made a minority report, spoke in favor of that. " He defended the action of the Electoral commission in refusing to receive the report of the j majority as evidence in the Florida case. No tribunal in the world, he said, would receive it as evidence. It was simply an investigation * ; carried on by a partisan majority, handled for a purpose, and nafldled solely for the accom' j plishment of that purpose. i Mr. Purman (Rep.), of Florida, rose to dei bate the report of tbe Florida committee. Up " to that time no interest .whatever had been i ~ i taken in tbe debate, the other speakers having j j principally addresBea vacam uenenes. ?nt-a j lie began* bin speech, however, and it became . j ; evident tbat he favored the resolution of the . j ! majority, declaring tbe Tilden electors duly B ' elected, the Democratic members gathered i f I around him, and frequently interrupted his i speech by applause. He "said it was, without i j exception, tbe most peaceful election ever held ] ' i in tbe State ; and not one case of violence or j j disturbance on election day lias come to my i _ | knowledge. It seemed the peculiar privilege r ; of tbe Republicans to win under all tnese %ji* . | vantageous circumstances ; but it is a fact, sir, i which I cannot stand upon this floor and deny, i and every man, woman and child in my State ' j knows, that Florida was lost by the lie- i j publican party in the late election, and ' ^ that the Democratic gove^or and tbe Tilden j ' j electors were truly electea. I make this declaration now under the most solemn sense ' of public duty, and from an irresistable feeling I of obligation" to the people of my State who ] ' ! have a right to expect that, however partisan J j j their representative may be in his political . j faith, lie should at least, on questions of public ( j j fact, be an honest man. From the face of all ] p ! the county returns the vote in the State stood t . j fur Tilden electors 24,439, and for Hayes elec- , [ tors 24,349,"giving Tilden a majority of ninety. , f Ho explained how the changes in the votes were mado.

I t* THE JOINT CONVENTION. 1 5Ir. Adams, clerk of the House of lieprcscu- < , tatives, appeared at the bar of the Senate, and j < | announced the decision of the House that the ( counting of the vote of Florida shall not pro- ] < ceed in conformity with the decision of tbe < . Electoral commission, and also notified tho 1 Senate that the House was now ready to meet < ; the Senate in joint meeting. The senators i then proceeded to the hall of tbe House, and j i took their places. As soon as order was rei stored, the presiding officer, Mr. Ferry, arose j f and said : ( "The joint meeting of Congress resumes its ] [ session. The two houses separately have . considered and determined the objection sub- , 1 mitted by a member of the House to the de- ] i cision of the commission 011 the certificates from tbe State of Florida. The clerk of the Senate | . will now read the decision of the Senate." i : The decision of the Senate having been read ( ; by its clerk, and tbat of the House Lv its clerk, i t tlie presiding officer said: * I | ' The two houses not concurring in ordering j . otherwise, the decision of the commission will | ' stand unreversed. Tho counting will now t proceed in conformity with the decision of the ] . commission. The tellers will announce the | , voto of Florida." ] | Senator Allison, one of the tellers, there- j upon announced that the State of Florida had ( i given four votes for Ii. 15. Hayes, of Ohio, as [ President, and four votes for William A. , s Wheeler, .of New York, as Yicc-l'resident. i The Vice-President then preceeded to open j j tbe certificates and announce tho votes. ( I Georgia, eleven votes for Tilden; Illinois, | | twenty-one votes for Hayes; Indiana, fifteen < votes for Tilden ; Iowa, eleven votes for Hayes; Kansas, five votes for Hayes; and Kentucky, t > twelve votes for Tilden. ( Then came the certificate from the State of \ . Louisiana, showing eight votes for Hayes and ( i Wheeler, the presiding officer announcing that < the certificate had been received by mail, and | tbat no corresponding one had been received j bv messenger. The messenger api>ointed for , that purpose was Thomas C. Anderson, of the < ' returning board. This was authenticated by j ' Kellogg as governor, he being himself one of | ' the electors. The ccrtitlcate having been read, the presid- j ing officer handed to the tellers another certili- , cate from the same State, with a corresponding ) one received ny man, snowing eigni voies ior \ ' filden and Hendricks. This was authenticated ' by McEnery as governor of the State. Still a ! third certificate was opened aud read, a corre- j sponding one having been received by mail, with ' votes for Hayes and Wheeler, authenticated by | Deslondc, secretary of State. ' Another certificate, a burlesque, every name j; in it being that of John Smith, was read, crca' ting comment and indignation. Senator McDonald (I)em.)> of Indiana, rose and submitted an objection to the Hayes and L Wheeler certificates. The objection was based 1 on the ground that the Hayes electors had not " been duly elected, and that their election had ! been certified by William P. Kellogg, who " claimed to be, but in fact wan not. governor of : the State of Louisiana; that the returning board of said State was without jurisdiction, : for the reason that the laws of Louisiana con1 ferred no power on said board to canvass or ! compile the votes for electors: 'that the said ' board constituted lut four of the live persons ; required by law; that those four were of the ' same political party, and that there was a va. caucy in said board which the four members had refused to lill; that the four members of the returning board had full knowledge that a true compilation of the voles would have i .1 - ii...i. ? . i i niiu\>u luai him j iiiu;ii cjwivn.* u;ui i'cvu uhit i ! elected; that said hoard had offered for money | ' | to sell the vote of Louisiana: and that A. IS. I Levisee and 0. IT. Brewster of the Republican I ! electors had held olliecs of trust under tho government of the United States at tho time | | of their appointment as electors. ' Tho objection is signed !>v Senators McDon1 al?l (Intl. ), Stevenson (Kv.j, Saulslmrv (Del.), ami J'ogv (Mo.), and Representatives Jenks (l'a.), (iibson ("La.), Tucker (Va.), Levy (La.), | Ellis (J,a.). and Morrison (111.) Mr. Gibson (Demj, of Louisiana, also sent up objections to the Haves and Wheeler certili- _ ^ cntes, because: First, the government of \ Loui-iaun was not republican in form; second, I no canvass was made on which the certificate* . of election were issued; third, any alleged . , canvass ol the votes was an net of usurpation, ] fraudulent mid void: fourth, some of the electors were ineligible bv the laws of Louisiana, 1 i:nd were disqualified from being electors as j , | holding State otlice*.

M'-Donald and Kernati, and by ItepresenI tatives Jenks, Tucker, Gibson, Field, Levy and ; I F.gl ert. I Mr. Wood (Deni.), of New York, submitted further objections to the Hayes and Wheeler , certificates, on the ground that the electors were not elected as provided by tho Legisla- . 5 ture. Mr. Howe (Hup.), of Wisconsin, submitted , ' objections to the Tilden and Hendricks certi- , ates, on the ground that there was no evi- , ' ; deuce that those electors had been appointed in j such manner as the Legislature directed, while ' there wfis evidence conclusive in law that ; ' neither of them had been so appointed; also 1 I .... ti. . ......?i,<i ti.o? <li?rr. w!i? no evidence that 1 ' MeEnorv was governor of Louisiana in the year ' 1S7('i, while there was conclusive evidence that ' Kellogg was. during the year 187(1, and for sev1 eral years prior thereto, governor of that Slate, I and that ho was recognized as such l?v tlio : ' judicial and legislative departments of Louisi- | ' aim. and hv all tlio departments of tlio govern- i j | incut of the United States.

There being no further objection all i I of the certificates from y>at State, with the i ' papers nccompaniyng the same, together with ! the objections, will be now submitted to the I Electoral commission for judgment and de- i cision. ! he Senate will now withdraw to its "< chamber."' I The Senate thereupon withdrew. 1 The Klcrloral Tribunal. 1 The arguments on tlio question of eligibility on the Democratic side wore made by Judge Hoadley, of Ohio, Judge Ashbel Green, of Now b lersoy, "aud Richard T. Merrick, of Washington. c< Judge Hoadley insisted that the question of tl Humphreys' eligibility turns upon tho accep- s< tance of hiw resignation by Judge "Woods of the cl United 8tates circuit court for tho district of ' o Florida. HtunpbreyH asserts that ho resigned i ci in tlie fifth of October, and that Judge Woods n iccepted his resignation, and designated the i nf Hu? nnrt of T>pn?nr?n1fL hk flir* nrnn#?r I O [lersou to fulfill the duties of the oflice until his i a <uecessor should be appointed. At the time : ti Humphreys' resignation was sent to Judge j e Woods, the latter was in Newark, Ohio, and | ? from that point wrote to Humphreys. aeknowl- j g edging tlio receipt of his resignation, and trans- ! ti mitting to him his acceptation of the same. ! fi Hie point made by Democratic counsel is that i ti Hie appointment of shipping commissioner is i ti made bv the circuit court; that Judge Woods d is not tlio circuit court; that the court is not | ii bold in Newark, Ohio; that the matter of res- j f' ignation and the acceptation thereof has never a been spread upon the record of the court, and c that the successor of Humphreys has never t been appointed by the court. The other coun- I sel on tne same" side discussed generally the f value as evidence of the three different certifi- b cates made by the Republican and Democratic h electors, and dwelt at some length upon tho ic decision of the supreme court of that State 011 j t a mandamus cauG brought by Drew against I a Stearns, and also tho quo warranto proceedings 11 instituted by the Democratic electors. j Judge Shellabarger and Mr. Evarts followed for the Republicans, and Mr. Merrick closed for a the [Democrats. Judge Shellabarger observed e that the electors exercised an act of govern- li ment which necessarily terminated on the day d when they cast their votes. Mr. Evarts dis- e cusscd the eligibility question and the question t of validity in tho Tilden electors. ii Tho discussiou by .the members of the com- fc miMHion in Hcurui huhhiuu ih euiu to imvu uceii ; u very spirited, and two or three times a groat t depj of feeling was manifested. The Republican ii members desired to have the decision of the p commission s? drawn as to cover all the ques- s tions which might arise in the Louisiana and c Oregon cases, and thus practically settle those cases beforo they were referred by the joint p convention of tho two houses. It was against t this proposition that the Democrats made their f desperate opposition. \ There was no direct vote upon tho question t! of the eligibility of Humphreys, as Tlnirman, t Bayard and Clifford indicated their belief that a his*resignation was effected by his tender of it t: und the acceptance thereof by the judge of the v United States circuit court. * c The first resolution on which the commission c ruled was offered by Gen. Hunton, and simply c resolved that tho i ilden electors (naming them) v had been legally chosen, and that their votes ii nhould be counted for Samuel J. Tilden and v 1'homaH H. Hendricks. This was voted down, t [be vote being as follows : a Yeas?Messrs. Abbott, 1'aynrd, Clifford, Field, d Hunton, Payne and Thunnan. Nays?Messrs. Bradley, Edmunds, Frelingliuysen, Garlield, Hoar, Miller, Morton and i Strong. Then Mr. Garfield offered a resolution to the j, effect that the Hayes electors (naming them) H bad been legally chosen, and that their votes j, should be counted for Rutherford B." Hayes ^ uid William A. Wheeler, and that Senator id- u aiunds. Justice Miller and Justice Bradley be a ^ committee to prepare the decision of the com- ^ :nission to be communicated to the joint con- ^ mention of the two houses. This resolution was idopted by a vote of eight to seven, tho eight t] Republicans voting aye and the seven Demo- ^ :rats nay. j. The commission tlien took a recess for one j liour, and on reassembling the decision was tj read and signed by the eight commissioners a ivlio voted for Garfield's resolution. The seven j. ivho voted nay did not sign, as the law does not require theni to do so. The decision of the ;ommis:;ion sets fortli tho resolution of Garfield, .. uid a brief statement of the reasons therefor, I " ivliich in substance arc as follows: First?'I'llat the commission cannot entertain . evidence outside of the certificate of the governor us founded upon the determination of the board of State canvassers. Second?That the action of a State bv its legitluture or court, taken after the electors had . :ast their votes, cannot bo considered as determining who were appointed electors. , Third?The evidence presented does not 1 diow that Humphreys was a United States ship- ?' ping commissioner on the soventli of November. _ In considering the case of Louisiana, referred :o the Electoral commission by the joint contention, Justice Clifford announced the three lertificates that were before the commission , inder objection. For convenience, he said, [' ;hev had been numbered one, two and three, 'J uid" objectors to numbers one and three would e irst be heard. The opening argument on the part of the Democratic objectors against the reception of the Kellogg certificates was made bv Senator ( McDonald. It was an analysis of the laws of l] Louisiana, having or claimed to have a bearing i, m the powers of the returning board. j. Following Senator McDonald, Representative t lenks made an argument on the same side. Ho j: Humiliated the important points and presented ? m analysis of the action of the returning board t loudenming them for excluding the vote of j ;wenty-two polling places in order thnt the vote ( jf that State might be returned for Hayes. r Messrs. Hurl but and Howe, on the part of H lie Republican electors, claimed Jthat the gov- t ipon the action of the returning loarii, wad lonclusive, just an had been held in the Florida :aso. They said the Kellogg government had jeeii recognized by the Executive and Legisla- I ;ivo depart mentn of the general government, j, and therefore they claimed that John ilcEn;ry's certificate to the return of the Tilden elec- 11 ;ors had no more \v< ight than if it purported k :o come from an antediluvian monarch." ^ Ex-Senator Carpenter, of Wisconsin, opeued , for the Democratic elcetors, in arguing for the vholc case. lie protested as he opened that b 10 did not appear as counsel for Samuel J. ; I'ilden. He had voted against him once, and f this commission decided that there had been 10 election, should vote against him again. liut he was here as the counsel for ten thousand ,-oters who had been disfranchised by fraud in j, Louisiana and whose caso had been referred to his tribunal to inquire who and what persons * lad been duly appointed electors in that State. * Hiis tribunal he argued, was in the nature of a 5 egislative commission of investigation and r lad neither judicial nor executive functions, "or its conclusions were all subject to the re. isionary action of Congress. It was created ike those commissions out of which British egislation had grown to correct such frauds as f vas peeping out of the ballot box in England ind were appealing for triumph in this tribunal. *' He made an analysis of the collusive acts of K Louisiana and declared that the State had w failed to provide the requisite law and its n sleet oral vote must, therefore, be blotted out ? >f the electoral college. Mr. Carpenter said k hat Congress ignored the board four years tgo and declared if it was a fraud then it was 1 fraud now which this tribunal could not ritalize. r Mr. Carpenter spoke some minutes in support n if the proposition laid down by mm tnai tno " Presidential electors are Federal and not State 1< jftieers. He read from the State constitution of b Louisiana several sections asserting that they f< learly limit all judicial power to tno courts? d :'ne judicial power?conferred upon the retiming hoard must be regarded as fully unconstitutional. Mr. Carpenter said they would show, (] f allowed bv the commission, that not a single 0 larish in Louisiana sent to the returning board | ^ uiy evidence in the form prescribed by law for 8 lie purpose of throwing out votes on the g ,round of intimidation and violence. He read g from the report on Louisiana signed by Messrs. g Hoar, Wheeler and Frye, certain pas-ages. He j <aid that Mr. Wheeler would be, ho thought, fen* much surprised to tind himself counted in ?y a board which ho had joined in condemning . for doing a precisely similar thing. Mr. Carleister's closing appeal to tl# commission was : j not attempt to staunch blood with fraud, '' md invite the overthrow of our institutions," J1 Mr. Trumbull then offered the evidence on Lite Democratic side : ' First?That William P. Kellogg, who appears 1 is a, Hayes elector, is the same person who ivas iIrfarto governor of Louisiana. Second?That William P, Kellogg was not p appointed one of the electors of Louisiana in d IHTli, and that the certificate was untrue in n facts; and to show this ccrtiJed copies of the A lists of the commissioners of election. h Third?That the names of the supervisors of ri registration were fully and fraudulently omitted to the. return part of the votes in several parishes, and that 2,2G7 votes against Kellogg a irere thus omitted. ^ Fourth?That by the consolidated statement i !>f the supervisors of the registration it np- i pears that the said Kellogg received 3,'lf>'J ; ? votes less than each of tiie Tilden electors. j1 Fifth?That the returning board-wilfully and j K* iictimnr?nH nnnnfY.fi 9't.l vnfi?u 1 _ which were" not given in nnv precinct of the / State. "* Sixth?That the votes cast on the seventh of November as shown by the commissioners , have never been compiled nor canvassed, and , a that said returning board never even protended i to canvass these returns, and only canvassed -i the returns made by the supervisors. I J Seventh?That the votes given for electors j have never been opened by the governor of the j | State in presence of the secretary of State, the ; L attorney-general of the State and a district : ? judge at the seat of government; nor has ho i examined the returns and ascertained whether j any one was elected, but that he knew when he ! j executed the certificates to himself and others ; ?, that he and they had not received within 5.000 ; j of as many vote's as had beencastfor the Tilden | electors. * I Hi; proposed fourth to show that in Septem- ' her, 1*7G, Kellogg and others in the city of New ! Orleans, including the members of tho return- j ing board, entered into an unlawful and criini' al combination and conspiracy to cause it to bo certified and returned to tho secretary of l St.ite by the returning board upon their pre- I tended canvass, that Kellogg and others had re- | 1 ceived a majority of all votes cast at that elec- ; < tion for electors', whether such should be the : \ fact or not, and that the returning board, in | i violation of the law of tho State, on the tweu- j i tieth of November, 1H72. refused ti> compile a , statement of votes made by the comnii?sioners : of election in rogard to the election of electors, , ' ut they did canvass and compile only the msolidated statements and returns made to V lem by the supervisors of registration in the V jveral parishes ; and that the board altered, aangea, or forged the consolidated statements _ r returns of tno supervising registrating offi- E sr of the parish of Vernon, in the following lanner. tart Mr. Trumbull proceeded to state the grounds a te f objection to five of the Republican electors, nd charged that in violation of the Constitu- torn on they held oth'er offices when elect- tho d. Mr. Trumbull commenced his argument J?? rith a general discussion of the power of Con- thci ress and the commission to prevent an elec- | bed ion 01 me iremuuiu 01 uits united scales uy ?0 ^ rand. The commission, ho said, is a lcgisla- boii ive body, which need not be hampered by any roy echnical rules of evidence; therefore it could ecide for itself in regard to receiving evidence but 1 this case. He asked: Is this commission J1*1 urmed merely to add up figures or to examine i nd consider "all questions submitted and de- ccai ide according to the law creating it ? He held hat the two nouses of Congress have decided ! car hat the certificate of the governor in duo re& orm, as in the Kellogg-Pinchbaclt case, is not ^ linding upon Congress. All the committees, ly. ie said, who have visited Louisiana and report- not d to Congress for years reported that the renrning board had absolutely no power to do liar nything but count and compile the votes, and hat they have no jurisdiction in the way of re- Coa ecting votes, unless a foundation is laid. pic Mr. Stoughton followed for the Republicans, jji, nd said that in the Connecticut election Gov- [ ruor Ingersoll certified himself as elector-atEirge. He held that the fact that Kellogg's j* lemand for troops was granted was conclusive tisc vidence of his right of governor; that the re- mo: limine board had full power to act, and that t could act as well with four as with five mtm- the iers, and held that all questions in Louisiana re determined by the Florida case. Ho argued i j, hat the power to take testimony by Congress wit i for legislative purposes only, and not for the lurposes of an electoral count; planted him- mci elf on the letter of the law, and closed with H? harges of intimidation and blood. Mr. Shellabarger followed, also for the Reinblirnna in a lf?p-al urtnimpnt. Vielrl that 8m he returning board had a legal right to ait with our members, and defended the character of I bin Veils and the other members. He asserted hat the provisions about protoBts being at aciied%to the returns was merely directory, IB nd that these acts could be done at other imes?thiu to justify the preparation of affida- H its and protests in New Orleans. He said that ? ertain things, as violence and impossibility exused the failure or omission to do so, and proeeded to say that, under the maxim of law .liich holds that every officer is right until he i shown to be otherwise, the returning board fas right. He added that if wrong was done he defeated party had its remedy in the courts, nd ended with charges of murder and intimi ation. ' Why Advertise? People sometimes ask why does Dr. R. V.
