J FHivid Dridley Field opened the case in
a 'siw'h of gi eaf 'importance. He was 'very
aggressive1 in respect to the frauds of the
Returning Boards.
Mr. Tucker had only forty-five minutes,
but he made an argument' worthy of a
great occasion. His effort is praised on
all hands, and has leen specially compli
mented by members of the Commission
of iKith parries. Mr. Tucker argued that
the State, or body juditic, and not the
.State authorities, aptwinted the Presiden
tial electors. That there were two things
in every election or appointment to office :
rirst, tlie elective franchise; second, tin
determinate function, which, last, in Fhr
ida, was vested in a' loard with limited
powers. L. Q. W.
Washington, Feb. 2.
When Mr. Tucker 'concluded, the Re

Justice Miller objected, and the Commis

It was noticeable that Field and Tuckei
treated the Commission as having judi
cial powers, while Kasson and McCrarv
looked upou them as a sort of grand po-
utical, committee. The Democrats ad
dressed them in courtly style as "Your
Honors,' and the Republicans said
"Messrs. Commissioners."

Morton remarked to-day, depends in

O'Coumn-, impelled by conviction of the
strength of the cast; and right of the cause,

.proposes to redu -e the salaries of mem
bers of Congress ; and then, losing his
temier at Holman's reply regarding his
(Waddell's) lack of experience, he charged
him with wilful misrepresentation of what
he said. Holman passed the remark
without notice, and continued his argu
