Special to the Richmond Whig.
Washington Eeb. 15 1 A. M.
The Commission sat yesterday from
10 o'clock A. M. till near 1 P. M.,
witn only a slight interruption. j
Mr. , Carpenter never appeared to
.more advantage than he did yester
dayrHa t was perfectly: refreshed,
and 4 went to his work with all his
wonted power and eloquence. Messrs.
Trumbull and Campbell were on Mr.
Carpenter's left hand; to his right
were the . opposing counsel, Messrs.
Evarts, Stoughton and Shellabarger.
Messrs. Jenks, Tncker and other De
mocratic counsel were also present,
making such an array of legal talent
as is rarely seen. ! , J
After Mr. Carpenter had concluded
then came the offers of testimony by
the Democratic counsel. This busi
ness was in charge of Mr. :Trambull,
.and the mere reading' of it consumed
over boo hour. The whole "proceed
ings of yesterday showed Jtbal the
Democrats had profited by their expe
rience in , the Florida case. . Their
movements yesterday were conducted
with a, precision that showed the
most careful preparation and study.
The reading of the document made
a very strong impression, as point
after point was offered to be proved,
showing the illegal, fraudulent, and
dishonest count of the Returning
Board, 1 ' After this paper was read
there was-a long debate and consul
tation by the Commission, ;whicti
ended, in an arrangement to . allow
time for arguing the question of the
admissibility of this evidence. Mr.
Trumbull opened the argument in the
affirmative, making' a speech of unu
sual power, and bristling with
strong points. Mr. Stoughton spoke
at length-oa; lhot Republican side,
and wis - succeeded- by Mr. Shella
barger:: t ; ; ..'': . " i
The greatest interest was sustained
throughout the day, and the court
roonfVai crowded nearly all day. I i
t Mr. Kvarta is to speak ' to-day and
will probably consume two hours.
Judge Campbell will conclude for the
Tilden electors. Both sides expect;
much from their respective cham
pions. It would ' be difficult, r how
ever, for any one to make a stronger
presentation of the case than has
already .been made by "Trumbull and
Carpenter The Louisiana case is so
strong that even Democrats are sur
prised by iC But for the extraordi
nary and unexpected decision in the
Florida- caaer none, would have a
; doubt as to the result in this. As it
is, however, the general feeling, of
the Democrats is not one of confi
dence.. .; "; -: . ; ' u
Mr. Hoar, the other day, in convert
sation in the House, called attention
to theiaot that thejpleadiBgs of the
Democrats in the Florida case had
not charged '.fraud, by the Board. 1
Yesterday, from the i bench, Mr.
Edmunds intimated: tpMr.Stonghton
that the offers of testimony in this
case differed from that of Florida in
charging' fraud," and that ; the Com
. mission would not-be concluded by
the ': former decision 1 These fact 8
were commented on 1 last night by
, Democrats, and Jed some to believe
that the Cottrt -would adopt a dif-
ferent ruling in respect to Louisiana.
1 ' ''.:.. .V L. Q. V. :
ripecial to Richmond Dispatch.
Washington, Feb. 14.
This morning when Carpenter had
concluded his masterly presentation
of the Democratic case, Judge Camp
bell asked to be allowed to. submit
testimony in support of the points the
Democrats proposed to prove. Re
publican counsel have held and acted
upon the conviction that the exclu
sion of evidence in the Florida case
precluded its admission in other cases,!
except as, to. eligibility of electors
iut here the Democrats obtained
their first triumph, and encourage
ment. . i r:i---rsit.5i?,-Y :- . ;
' i Justice Bradley thought ithedis
cussion oix the admissibility and on
the merits of the " ease should pro-'
ceed together, but Judge Strong
suggested that counsel state what
proof they proposed to offer, and
each Bide be allowed two hours to
debate the admissibility of evidence,
so that that question might be deci
ded before the general discussiop Vas
commenced.,. This first break in the
Republican front of the court was
followed by a debate among the com
missioners, in which every one, ex
cept Hunton, gave his views as to the
best mode of procedure1 It was
found that eleven of themf Including
Bradley, Strong, Morton, and Gar
field, were : willing to have the ques
tion of admissibility discussed and
that the general discussion . should
proceed.:; fti&cV 'ft;;i;;Vi- ;" --
Morton and Gaifield took care not
toTeommit themselves until Friday
after Bradley "had delivered himself;
so the break-was not real, though it
served the purposes of the Demo
crats.." " Tv - V
Trumbull and.Mernck were an
hour in reading the points proposed
to be preyed, whicL were drawn up
Very like an indictment And buried in
a multitude of legal phrases and rep-,
etitions - v-- ---- -' H--" '
Trumbull occupied two hours argu
ing upon the power and duty of. the
Commission, both under the Consti
tution and electoral act, to receive
evidence necessary. ' I
Some of the Commissioners, Mor
ton particularly, kept np a running
debate, with Trumbull interrupting
the thread of his argument and com
bating it by quoting authorities iK
conflict with it. i
Garfield's mind being made up, it
was not worth while to listen, so he
read the "newspapers, and he, with
Hoar and Morton, were often out of
the room. Once he took a few
mi antes' promenade with Hoar in the
corridor. . ';"'- ;- '''
Bradley wrote as if his life de
pended on it, and at adjournment had
accumulated about twenty pages legal-cap
of notes. , - '-1
The occurrences of to-day have re
vived a faint hope that the Commis
sion may 89 far relax its rule in the
Florida case as to admit some of the
more important testimony the Demo
crats may offer. They will meeVin
secret to-morrow after argument is
closed by Campbell.
