W| aaid oa tha morniag atter Governor Drew's inaugurmtioa that we diu not with a Democratic Legialature a IHnijm oratia Ketarning Board and a Demo- Governor, what was to prevent *U the defects attending the aatioa of Tilden eleotors from beiag thoroughly cured The mode of appaintiag electors is a matter partly of Slate law, tha Federal Constitutional provision being that (dec tors of a Slaw shall be appoiatad aa ibe Legislature thoreol abuil direct, and the requiraatenta of the Fedoral statute ia regard ta them extending only.to ibe fixing of tbe day and the inaaaer in which they ahaii vote, aad what sbalt be dona with the vales after beiag east. AH tha rail is within the domain of tbe Slate law, What, Ikon, are tke facts in regard to tba Florida vsta ? Tbry are that the Tildsn electors were appointed by a majorat of 91 votes, but owing to the | fraudulent aation of tba Returning : Board, tailed to reoeive the certificates. ! prescribed by the State law. It was aot their fanlt that they did not reaaiva them, but tbe fault of the Returning Board. On tha day proscribed by tbe Fedoral statuta, theea electors met *nd cast their rotas for Mr. Tildsn, iu lifoml compliaaae with the requirements of the Federal etatate. At a subsequent day tha Legislature of Flofida having pasted a statut • directing tha Returning Board to caavaaa the vote acoordiag to the 1 law af tbe State aa declared-by tbo preme Court, the count was made sud ths fact da&oitcly sud officially ascer tained that tha Titden oleotort rseeived s majority of 84 votes.

Indeed, nothing is more common in tha snnuls of lagislstisa tbau jast suoh laws a* is the oaa this Florid i, Legial itara will now doubtless pr cecd to pass. .i In England, unless oar little Isw learning fails at, thoy ware, oalied statutaa of sud have keea quite frequent fruui tba tarhest umea. la our atm Slate we dowht, ii any session of a Legislature pamee without enacting one of tiieee at Mates tn onre delects. Tha next oaws, ikon from ths Florida Legislature will ba lhat.it haa.pasacd a statute recognizing the Tildaa elsotora as bavikg been duly appvintod, and thair votoa .as bating beaa duly cast, and pardoning their luck of e:rtikoaiaa of appoint meat at iha time vt easting tucb votes. -iiti* i * Prafouled to them ia aaah abape a* : tbia wa da aot Nhewo that "atry Vve judgea of tba Suptume Court uf the l/atted States oaa ba found wbu, upon their oaths, will say that Mr Hayes is snutlad Io tbe vote af tha Klectoral Collage of Florida.
