red, owing to the deficiency of the black

vessels and the intense hue they dif

A well regulated and properly con

warm on Tuesday was out of the ques

tified that he resigned the office, ami
that his resignation was accented Oct

ceptance of his resignation. Mr. Mer

was accepted, and that until he

that he would call for the yeas and nays

Republicans' j)8ition. The Speaker
overruled the point of order against the

the House took a recess till 10 o'clock

THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION
The electoral commission stite the
grounds of their decision in the case of
Florida as follows: That it is not com
Ietent under the constitution and law.
as it existed at the date of the passage
of the aK constituting the commission,
to go into evidence aluinde. the taiers
opened by the President of the Senate
in the presence of the two Houses, to
prove that other persons than those reg
ularly certified to by the Governor of
Florida, according to the determination
and declaration of their apjointuieut
by the board of Stat iutnvHiserH, prior
to Uie time required forthe performance
of their duties had been appointed
electors, or uy counter proor. to show
that they had not; and that all proceed
ings of courts, or acts of legislature, or
of the executive of Florida, sulwequent
to the casting ot Uie votes ot the
electors on the prescribed day, are liiatl
missable for any such punose.
As to the objection made to the eligi
bility of Humphreys, the commission is
of the opinion tha't witnout reference
to Uie quesUon of Uie effect of the vote
of an ineligible elector, Uie evidence
does not prove Uiai he held the office of
shipping commissioner on the day when
the electors were appointo-d. The Com
mission declared that as a consequence
of the foregoing, and upon Uie grounds
before stated, neither of the i)ajers pur
porting to be certificates of the electoral
votes of Florida are the certificates or
votes provided for by the cousUtution,
and Utey ought not to be counted as
such.
The Hoaseobjections to the decision
were presented.

At ten o'clock Mr. McCrary rose to
discuss the electoral decision. Mr.
Clymer objected on the ground that no
quorum was present and the debate
was postponed till 1030, when Mr. Field
offered the following: Ordered, That
the countine of the electoral vote of
Florida shall proceed informally with
the derision of Uie Electoral Commis
sion, but that the votes of Call, "Yonge,
Hilton, and Bullock shall be counted m
the votes from Florida. Mr. Hale
moved as -an amendment: Ordered,
that the counting of the electoral votes
from Florida shall proceed in conformi
ty with the decision of Uie Electoral
Commission. .Mr. Knott offered as a
substitute an order reciting Uie lan
guage of the electoral act, that the com
mission might inquire into such peti
tions, depositions and other papers as
shall, by the constitution ana now ex
isting law, be competent; reciting also
the fact that in the Florida case the
Commission had decided and deter

two bouses in joint convention by the
President of the Senate; that certifi
