Washington, Feb. 13 The Commis
sion met at 11 o'clock. Clifford an
nounced that two houra only should
be allowed lor each side, and that the
Commission waa ready to hear objec
tions to the Hayes' Electors certificates.
Senator McDonald opened, claiming
that the Hayes' Electors were not
egally elected, quoting, from the stat
utes of Louisiana, showing two sets
of Electoral 1 aws. Whether one law
was repealed by the other, or whether
they should run together, the proceed
ings of the Louisiana Returning Bjard
were alike irregular and unlawful.
House. The journal of Thursday
Feby 1st, was read to-day, and the re
gular daily order resumed at 12 o'clock
The Texas Pacific Railroad bill maybe
taken up next Monday by a two-thirds
Tote, and re-argued for a day. No
other legis'attun of particular import
ance is pending.
The committee n powers and priti-
eges are examining witnesses regard
ing Brewster's resignation.
Senate. Mr Patterson of South
Carolina presented the credentials of D
T Cortiin, claiming to have been elect
ed United States Senator from the .State
of South Carolin for the term of six
yeais from 4th jf march, 1877. ' The
credentials were signed by D H Cham
berlain as Governur of South Carolina.
They were read and placed on file, no
objection being nracfe to their recep
tion. M- Donald and Jrnks sre making a
strung CHse, and apparently a Btrong
mpret-sion on the court. There is no
change in the situation as indicated by
the expressions ot confidence by either
side. Each asks the other: "Do you
give it up?" and each answers, "KO 1"
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The House was engaged all day in
debate on the reports of the Florida
Investigating Committee, the majority
report declaring the Tilden Elector to
have been fairly elected and the mi
nority the Hay-a Electors-
There was but li'.tle interest in the
debate until Furman, of Florida, rose
and censuring his party aseciates in
the North for tne indifference which
it hd tliown to the results of the eiec-
tion in the South, and lor the blunder
it had made in refusing to admit
Pinchback into the United States Sen
ate from Louisiana. He declared that
though a staunch Republican he felt
it his duty to say that the Tilden Elec
tors had been duly elected in Florida,
and he characterizrd the Canvassing
Board of that State as a bold, unscru
pulous, fraudulent body. His speech
elicited much applau33 from the Dem
ocrats, who gathered around him and
paid close attention to his remarks.
With the understanding that a vote
should be taken to morrow upon the
resolutions of the Committee, the
Hou3e took recess to 10 to-morrow.
Confirmations: L. P. Lucky, for
merly the President's Private Secreta
ry,, as Secretary of the Territory of
Utah ; J. Ii. G. Pilkins, Marshal of
Louisiana, and Milner, Postmaster at
NewnantG. ;
Rear Admiral Geldeborough is sick.
Secretary Cameron and Gen. Sher
man have gone to New l ork.
Nominations : R. C. Kerr, Register
of Land, Jackson, Miss.
Morrill and Cameron are absent from
the Cabinet. .Nothing important was
done. ' . -
i Senate The political disabilities of
Reuben Davis have been removed.
' Conrad A. Jordan has been arrested
for refusing to produce Tilden's, Pel-
ton's end Hewitt's bank accounts; - "
The Executive St ssion has adjourned
Before the Committee on Powers
and "Privileges,' John Stiles, who was
appointed Clerk of the Interior Office,
produced a letter from Brewster, dated
November 4th, to the President resign
ing the office, to take effect that day,
and a letter from Chandler dated Nov.
16th, accepting his resignation to take
effect November 4th,'aleo a letter from
Brewster dated Dec. 19th, asking to be
reinstated. Secretary Chandlers wijl
he examined to-morrow.';- Maddojx'ft
fire. - Half a.' dozen
testify os to his integrity: ; -
The Commission Mr. Jenks con
cluded by" asking the Commission to
let the. truth' shine upon the who'e
transaction. "Jf , you do," , said he,
"g there t an be but one single result.
The wisest of men, the strongest of
men cannot make the false true. No
fI-e god should, be set up. Solomon
set up a false god to bis Cost. It you
attempt" to'" blind the eyes of this
mighty nation your edicts will be void,
fur history will know the truth and
record it. No, we want - to clear out
all ihia p!luiion 'and to purge the
uation of the d isgrace of the fraud of
this Returning Board."
Mr Hurlhut, one of the objectors to
cemficate number 2, of the Tilden pa
pers, after britfly reviewing the history
of L ui-iana for several years since,
claimed tht the Kellogg government
has been officially recognized by the
President of .the United States, and by
both Houses of Congiess. John Mc
Enery had not attempted to exerc se
the functions of Governor since 1874,
and now comes forward and attempis
to give certificates to the men who
claim to have been elected Tilden elec
tors. Mr Hurlbut read one of the cer
tificates to show its peculiar phraseolo
gy, and that McEnery did not sign him
Belt" as Governor, but used the great
seal of the State. He had no seal, nor
did he have any office. The fact being
settled that Kellogis the only lawful
executive f Louisiana, he would ask
the commission whether they had the
right or the time to investigate the
election in that State. He read from
the laws of Louisiana to prove his stste
ments.
Howe followed Hulbert on the same
side. '
The Commission adjourned at G
o'clock-
Jas Pelletier, of New Orleans, testi
fied before the committee on powers
and privileges. lie testified that he
was a waiter at the restaurant, where
on Sunday, Dec 3rd, the members and
Clerks of the returning btard dined,
and overheard the conversation be
tween Wells, Anderson and Littlefield.
He heard Wells say in reply to the
question of Littlefield: "No matter if
Tilden has a hundred thousand majori
ty in the State, the vote would be given
to Hayes, and that he (Wells) did not
care what would become of the Stat?.
