A PRESIDENT. Continutd frtn Tint Tegs. being refused, they dftThenext best thing thee could, and obtained the certificates of the Attor ney General. mr. TntaMAv'e imqcirt. Mr.THURMAN said he would like to hear counsel on tbe point whether, If the Tllden elect ors had not voted, the Mete could, by process, la qalre Into the title of the Hayes electors. Mr. MERRICK took the groand that theSUte could make the Inquiry, and If the state her i:very, she (the State) oh Id stop it from them, whether there were others te wear It or not. In reply to(Mr. Edmuuda, he said the Legislature bad the power to Inquire Into the legalityor their election, and Its decision was stronger than the cert 1 neat e of the Governor. Certificate No. 8, he said, showed that the Til. den electors were sanctioned by the Legislature, and the courts, and the only canvass presented of the Totes of the State. He supposed the Cem. mission bad placed itself In a position to a deter m In at Ion of toe question who were the true rep resentatives or the people or Florida, and had limited Itself to the evidence contained In tbe pa pers presented by the President of the Senate, among which was thla statement of the vote of tbe Slate by eountles. Numerous authorities wereclted to show that tbe Commission was bound to receive the evidence accompany lag the cettlflcalea. Mr. MERRICK contended that the certificates whether they were signed by tbe Governor or by the Attorney General were but tbe an nouncement of an accomplished act, a fact eon snmated when tbe ballots had been deposited, and the element ot time wss not an essentlalona to their validity. It was not tbe canvass or the certificates that determined the rights of tbe people, bat tbe Totes cast. In relation to the judgment of cue errHfo he maintained that baTingbeen made as shown In the certificate the batisof the Governor's ac tion, It was btfore the Court as evidence of wbat were tbe laws of Florida, and to tell them that according to tbe laws or Florida tbe Hayes etec tors.wcre not appointed by the people of that State. That the Court heard the ease upon tbe lacts, and had found that tbe Hayes electors were notjand tbe Tllden electors were, chosen by the people of Florida.
