THE COMMISSION REPORTS

Certificates.
A STICT PARTY TOTE.
EEADLT ACTS WITH THE EEPDBLICANS
Testimony to be Taken Concerning Al
leged Ineligible Republican
: r: -t ! Elector. ,...-.. ,, r. n
Washikgton, Feb. 7. The Commis-
sion took a vote, at about a quarter to
4 o'clock, on "a resolution declaring
that they would take no further
testimony upon the certificate. ' The
motion was carried by a' vote of 8 to 7,
Judge Bradley throwing the deciding
vote.. The, Commission next voted on
a resolution to take testimony in the
case f the alleged ineligible Repub
lican Elector (Humphreys), and it was
Agreed to take-such testimony by a
vote of 8 to 7. The three Judges
voting in favor of the resolution being
Clifford, Bradley and Field. Judges
Strong and; Miller voied against it.
The five Democratic members of the
the last resolution, and also in favor of
iDg behir.d the' returns. The Com
mission meets at 11 o'clock to-morrow.
Argument to be heard on a Question
of Eligibility.
Washington, Feb'y 7. On motion
of' Mr. Justice Miller it was ordered
that no evidence will be received or
considered by the Commission which
was not submitted to the Joint Com
mittee of the two Houses by the
President of the Senate, with the
different certificates, except such as
relates to ti e eligibility of F. C. Hum
phreys, one of the Electors. Yeas 8,
nays 7. On motion of Mr. Abbott it
was resolved that in the case of Florida
this Commission will receive the evi
dence reliti u t the e liit i i'y of Fred
C. Humphreys, o.ic of the persons
named in certificate number fonr as
Elector. Yeas 8,' nays 7.
The Secretary ot the Commission
was instructed to inform the counsel
on the respective sides that at eleven
o'clock to-morrow it will be prepared
to hear argument on the question of
the eligibility of Fred C. Humphreys
as an elector. Humphreys is one of
the Republican Electors, and the
question raised as to his eligibility is
that, at the date of his election, he was
a U. S. Shipping Commissioner, which
is alleged to be such an office of trust
or profit, as to disqualify him from
acting as an Elector, but which office,
it is asserted by Republicans, he re
signed before the election.
A Happy Omen Kansas and Mich
igan Electors Kenner's Testimony
He Voted to throw out 10,000
Tilden Votes Wells Sick.
Washington, February 7, Justice
Clifford eat hearti!. and was cheerful
over his breakfast, b favorable omen
for Tilden. It is confidently asserted
that the Commission will consider the
Congressional Committee, which was
sent South, as a part of its machinery,
and accept the evidence taken and
the reports made by them, as going
to make up the case.
It is understood thattbecommission
will vote at 3 o'clock on the question
of the scope of evidence. Morton left
the Commission a few minutes ago,
and was carried away in his chair,
which was in waiting at the door. He
did not look particularly cheerful.
Green, the colored clerk of the Re
turning Board, and present Assistant
Secretary of the Louisiana Senate, was
excused until to-morrow. Wells was
too sick to come-to the Committee
Room to-day. t
The Committee on Powers and
Privileges Have W D Muse, of Kansas,
the elector who has been in Kansas
since 1870, but whose family lives in
Zanesville. Ohio. He pays taxes in
both States. ' i
Jacob . Den Herder, th e Mich igan
electbr. exhibited his naturalization
papers. .. ; , . ; ;
KenrJer, of the Louisiana Returning
Board; was examined. The bulk of his
evidence was that the Board felt
intimidated' ; but this did not affect the
action of the Board. He voted to
throw out more than 10,000 of Tilden's
votes. Some of the voters were kept
from the polls by intimidation ; others
wore killed, and others were made to
vote against their .wishes? r He- thinks
nwa thousand votes were ri Cast ? for
Tilden against the will of the voters.'

Senatork Grdotf7who has been suf
fering from severe: indisposition for
several days past, Vas in advocacy of
the bill recently iroduced by him to
create a Sinking. Tiaid for the liquida
tion of the indebtedness due the Gov
ernment by the ific Railroad. On
account of his plgical condition, he
was. unable to treat the subject as fully
as he desired. ATtfc'r leaving the Sen
ate he had a aevelfe, chill, and is again
confined to his eci to-night,; but his
physicians hope Jto have hioj.out in a
day or two. The Impression seems to
have been created, in some quarters,
that the bill now before the Senate, is
connected with Texas Pacific Bill, now
pending before tke House. Such is
not the case. TlifbefQre the Sen
ate, Jhas reference solely to the indebt
edness due from the Pacific railroads
already completed, while that offered
by Gen Gordon being a substitute for
the bill reported by the Judiciary Com
mittee. ' .

Chamberlain was inaugurated, was
illegal and revolutionary. That its

fore no legal publication of the returns

tion of Governor had taken pla3e.
An order was accordingly issued to
day restraining State depositaries from
paying any money upon the checks of
