During the moraing houra a bill was passed to remove the politi cal disabilities of Gen Jos. E Jahnston, of Virginia. Carpenter has concluded his argu ment bdfore the commission, and Trumbull has presented the facts which his aide proposed to prove. It is now proposed to allow each aide four hours to discuss the case aa it tands. Allowing tht the Democrats are able to prove what they allege, and argue together its admissibility' and its effect, the commission decides to al ow tw6 hours a tide on the admitsi- bility of evidence, with the privilege of using any part of the four hours, and a lalf allowed each side on the main question. Chandler is before the committee on powers and privileges. He knew noth ing of the details of Brewster's resigna tion and reappointment; aim ply knew the facts and nothing of the motive.

He said it oc burred in Oktibbeta county; TheJ following is important as indie ative of the temper of the commission: After Trumbull had read hisibritf of the evidence, -and was proceeding with the argument, when Mr Evarts asked -what the order of the commision waa in regard to the time allowed the coun sel to argue as ; to the admissibility of evidence. -- - v Judge Trumbull: requested T thret hours. - ; - Judge Strong moed tbst the counsel be given two hours to argue as to the admissibility of evidence. ; ; - ' . Senator Shernun said the1 counsel would aid the commission, if they'd argue to Irt theevidence go in, subject to objection, and let th whole matter be discussed. If fimr hours and a half is insulficient, the true C4n be en Urged, but to frittvr awaj-, the time o commwuon by allowing argument on the admissibility of cenaiu evidence, i nncalid'fur, and to continue, such a proceeding, won d" be " t; make " the commisHi.tnn court of comoion pieas. Senator E m unds to ffer td i at order that (ouiel be ueaid on the wnole subject as the CA?e now stands, and that tour hours on a side be allowed. Commissioner Abbott . did not 'be lieve in mixing.upthe arguments on the offer of evidence and the merits of the case. Let arguments be hearxf first on this offer, and then. the. com mission could in secret session determine what they would do. Senator Thurman concurred in the views of Mr Abbott. Mr Evarts said it must not be infer red by their silence that they regarded the evidence offered as already in. ' Senator Morton said he preferred to go on with the case as it stood, and that counsel be given the time allowed them yesterday, four hours and a half on aside. The admissibility of evi dence could be determined after fur ther discussion. Senator Edmund's resolution was put to a vote and lost by a vote of yeas 4, nays 11. Judge Strong's resolution was then put and carried, that counsel on each side have two hours to argue as to the admissibility of evidence. Subsequently on motion ' of Judge Bradley, counsel were allowed to speak longer than two hours on this point, provided thy agree to have it taken out of the time four and a half hours each side giyen them to argue the merits of the case. A recess of thirty minutes was taken. On reassembling Judge Trumbull be gan his argument in favor of the ad mistibilifv of the evidence offered claiming that the commission has all the power of Congress, andean go to the bottom of the matter before it andJ ascertain every fact. He claimed that no man worthy of the high office of President or even of the position of constable of a paltry town would accept office on a title given him by William Pitt Kellogg. Mr Trumbull ia stating the case, said they would prove that Kellogg was dc facto Governor of Lou isiana during the months of November and December last, and that he was not duly appointed an elector. They would further prove that when the re turning bord canvassed the votes, they had no legal evidence of violence at the e ectiou and consequently had no tight to throw out votes ; that the supervisors of legislation omirted wil fully and otherwise, returns from cer tain polling places in their precincts ; that by the ret-urna actually made by the commissioners of election Kellogg was defeated as elector, by several thousand majority; that Kehogg when he certified to his own and the election of other electors, well knew that he was certifying to what was not true and in accordance with the returns, and that the issuance of the certificates to the so-called Hayes electors was in pursuance of an unlawful combination and conspiracy, of which Kellogg, Wells, Kenner, Casanave and others were the actors. Judge Trumbull read a printed brief, giving at great length, the reasons why the Kellogg certificates are, false and fraudulent. Among other things charg ed against the returning board was the forgery of the returns from Vernon parish. It was also charged that Le vessee, Brewster, Bursh aid two or three other republican electors were ineligible. The two first because they held offices of Irust and profit under the United States and the others State officers- Mr Carpenter- presented some au thorities as additional to the brief sub mitted by him, to show that Kellogg as Governor could not give certificate to Kellogg as am elector, and he argued that they must go behind - the j certifi cate to see that Kellogg was elected. Mr. Stoughten for. Republicans said, there were objections; which migkt as well be answered here. It would be remembered that when the vote of Connecticut was opened that her Gov ernor, Mr. Ingersoll, who gave the cer tificate headed the list' " It had been asserted that Gov. Kellogg was not the Governor fcf Louisiana He deferred to the decision in the Democratic case in Rhode Islandi nsurrcction as con clusive on that point. He said the offer presented was to determine by a search and scrutiny of all the. polls in Louis iana, so a - to certain what was the vote of the- State, holding the ac tion for the officers of that State foe naught, he would undertake to show that the Statutes ef Lousisiana. confer ed upon the board fall power te deter mine who were elected bv, the Votes of the States, and that the electoral col If ge had the power to fill vacancies in its body. He read from the rjecision Irt the Florida case by the Commission that it was not competent for them to go back of the action el the officers' of the State, and said.be could not con ceive that the question was open for argument now. - 'HEWS FROM GOTHAM. .
