Th simplest rules for ascertaining the nee; of eye-glasses are, firstly,' to note if yo are obliged to rciuovo small print o :v; objects further thnn usual from youreye in order to see them distinctly; secondly if you find yourself involuntarily moviu nearer to the light than wan usual wit you in order to read a letter or booli thirdly, if very small object* apj>car t be confused after you have looked n them for any length of time; fourthly if the eye*, after a little close attentio to anything, become ho fatigued that yoi are obliged to turn aside to give thei 9 relaxation; and lastly, if the sight on lira waking is very weak, and doe* not re ? cover its customary degree of force unti some time after. A* for the choice c eye-glasses, here are a few general rule to begin with: "In the first place, goo glasses ought never to magnify the object very much, but merely to show thcai t us clear, simple and exactly such a* the are.

On j nun could not be punished for another' t. ofl'ense. Suppose we take Milwauke it county, where the Democrats can giv i- f),000 majority, and 100 of us Bepubll o cans bull-doze another hundred Repub i- licans, and because of this the whole vot s is thrown out, would that be just? Th r Returning Hoard, had it possessed judi rial powers, had gone outside of its pow t er. The statute requires duplicate re r turns to be made within twenty-fou e hours and such returns were not mad n within iifteen days. He read from tit if report of Messrs. Hoar,Wheeler and Fry > to show how this delay could be taken tul 2 vantage of to change the result, and sail they were prepared to show that 10,00! t votes had been disfranchised, s Senator Howe went upon the theory tha il if a plaintiffs agents commit robberv th ;l defendant's agents may commit robber; Thirt was not a matter for Louisiana I 0 settle for herself. Ah it was, the wlioh s nation was interested in the laws. Tin Representatives and Senators mCongres may assist in making a President o the United States that her vote wouli q make. He read from the report pre . viously quoted and said, wouldn't Wheel 1 er wake un astonished to find himsel 'c elected by the very means he condemned p He did not deny there were wrongs per (j jietrated hi the South, but they wer urougui aooui uy me illegal acta b; a which fraudulent government waspu tr upon them, and denounced in bitte terms the four men acting an the Return I ing Board who fastened the Kellogg gov erntnent, through fraud and villain; upon the people of Louisiana II A careful and thorough exmiunatioi ? of thin case by this tribunal would d( i* more to restore peace to Louisiana thai it regiments of soldiers. Mr. Trumbull said he supposed the; should now present the evidence. Fraud irregularity and illegality on the part o the Returning Hoard were charged am 0 proof ottered W?-"lX5 produced. Kellogj (j and others were accused of tuns of omis j. sion and commission, and proof thcreo ofl'ered to be furnished to the tribunal. ? A discussion sprang up as to the tiiu< to be allowe<l for argument on the inter n locutory (|iiestion as to the admissibility e of the evidence. Judge Strong ofl'ered an order givinj f counsel two hours on each side to argiu j. the admissibility of the evidence. Mr. Thurman moved an amendmen making the time three hours. Rejectee , -7 to S. ' The proposition of Judge Strong wai t agreed to without division. n Judge Bradley moved that counsel oi; ( either side may take, in addition to thi 1 two hours allowed to discuss the inter locutory question as to the admissibility of evidence, such additional time as the] U w?; ucnuc, Ml uu HCUIIUICU ITUIII 1116 IOIII and half hours allowed yesterday foi n general deltaic. ,p The commission then took a recess. ie After recesa Mr. Trumbull proceedee |B with hia argument, saying that they wen brought face to face with the questioi whether a President of the United State! in to be made through villainy on the II part of the officials whose duty it" was t( issue certificates. There waa no othei tribunal to which application could b< made except this tribunal. He spoke o; . the tribunal aa a tribunal of the twe I house* of Congress. Could it be, he asked, that the constitution had made r( n. provision against the inauguration of 11 " President by forgery and fraud, and b) 8 conspiracy between the men who certifj " to hia election? He felt humiliated that, aa a citizen of thia republic he waa called on to argue this '? question before the national tribunal e It waa not before a canvaasing board e touching the election of a Justice of the ' Peace, but the National Congress, having ? power to go the very bottom of everv ? thing, that he appeared. There was sub >' mitted to thia Commission not only the ^ question who were the lawful electora '? but all the matters connccted with the l~ double return. When the act waa passed " a thrill went through the country, and 'J there waa a feeling that, whatever the 'j decision waa, it would declare the true , voice of the people. Should it be said II that when the law declared that thej should consider all questions connected # with the double returns, that it merely meant that they should do a simple sum in arithmetic and add up the returns u " one of the certificates? What the coun j try wanted was a decision as to who wai e lawfully elected, anel the country would not be satisfied with anything else e Hardly twelve months have transpired .. since a person came here knocking at the " door of the Senate with a paper signed e William Pitt Kellnm* i.? p> hiul been duly elcctcSJb the Senate. Did ? the Senate open its dfcrs to him? Win ~ he has stood there knocking ever since Kellogg pretended to be Governor, until I finally the Senate shut the door in hit ^ face and sent him away. Kellogt; then i* j. in no better condition than McEnery p* but you have got a certificate here from a a person claiming to to Governor? i 0 certified lint, ns it is called in the statute of the name* of persons elected electors What^ does that amount to? Did tin Constitution require it? The Constitution said that the electors should meet ir e their respective States and vote by hallo! ? for two persons, one of whom nt least ;* shall not be an inhabitant of the same * State with themselves, and that thejj should make a list of all persons voted for and of the number of vote? for each v which list shall l>e ligned, certified and ? transmitted, sealed, to the seat of the 5 General Government, directed to the I President of the Senate. The President of the Senate then, in the presence of tlu r Senato and House of Representatives 0 shall open all certificates and the votei nliall then be counted. That is all tlu electors have got to do. This is a right lH not inherent in the State but derivative from the Constitution of the United States, which is as much a part of tlu Constitution of every State as it is^ of it * Every word and every letter in this con ]t stitution is ns binding on the State ai '[ upon on the United States. Mr. Trurn lj bull referred to the unanimous report II made by tho Senate Committee in 1873 * and said, what was the result of that re port? The Senate and House of Kepre'{ (tentative* voted not to count the electoral d vote of'thoS'ate of Louisiana. Congress looked into it and its committee reported that the votes had never been canvassed by anybody having authority to canvaw them and the result was that the vote ol - the State of Louisiana was rejected. Justice Bradley?Who made the canr vass at that time? Mr. Trumbull?It was required to be - made by tho Returning Board which consisted of the Governor, the Secretary of State, the Auditor, and two other per t?ons, and there was a controversy ns to i. which was the true Canvassing Board. ,f Justice Bradley?It was held that the if proper Board had not made a canvass. Mr. Trumbull?It was not decided in the report of tin* Committee on Privil egw. Senator Morton?IIave you the wholi renort there ? Ia Mr. Trumbull?1 have. One ot tin points stated In that the persons who, it fact, made the examination and count liat I no legal authority to do wo. ' Senator Edmunds?Do 1 understand yon to say that the judgment of the Hen ate four yearH ago was on a question o : fact an to' what the real vote of tho penph J of Louisiana was? i. Mr. Trumbull?It is difticult to tell or e what consideration the Senators voted i The certificate oi the Governor of Louis il iana in that case was in the proper form 1 but for some reason both houses con e curred in rejecting the vote of Louisiana s so that, if this amounts to anything, it ii e a decision that a duly authorized certifi e cate of a Governor is not conclusive in i- the two houses of Congress. Senator Edmunds-?The resolution o adopted then was that all the objection? a presented having been considered, no electoral vote purporting to be Uiat oi - Ixmisiana should be counted. That was adopted by a vote of 33 to 10. Among r the objections was oue by Mr. Carpenter, e of Wisconsin, on the ground that there e was no proper return of the votes cast by 0 the electors in the State of Louisiana, - because there was there no Stato govern1 ment republican in form, and because no J canvass or count of the votes had" been made prior to the meeting of the electors, t Another objection of similar import was c made by Senator Trumbull, of Illinois. The Presiding Justice (interposing)? :> Yoil are entitled to the tloor, Mr. Trum* s bull; unless you yield, proceed. b Senator Kdmuiids (to the Presiding s Justice with soino asperity of tone)? f Do you mean to say that a member of the 1 Commission cannot make an inquiry. The Presiding Justice (authoritatively) - ?I say that Mr. Trumbull is entitled "to f the lloor. Justice Bradley (to Mr. Trumbull)?I understand that the decision of the Sene ate in that case went to the form the not r to point as to whether the certificate of t the Governor was not conclusive. r Mr. Trumbull read Gov. Waruioth's . certificate in that case, and said that - this one thing was settled by Congress, , and that was that the Governor's certili. cate, the same as that known as No. 1 in i this ease, might be overruled by the con) current action of the two houses. The i report of the committee was that the vote had not been properly canvassed. Now , we propone 10 snow tuai tne vote 01 , Louisiana has never been canvassed; that f the pretended canvass was a fraud; that J the paper* are forged, that the returns arc altered and falsified, and I would like to know if a count under such circumf stances is any better than a count made bv persons who had not any right to coaut. ? It the action of Congress is good for anv thing in that cane it must lie 7 binding on this commission. Mr. Miller?Allow me to make a point I which came up in the Florida case and to which I attach a good deal of importance. If the only thing that a Republit can Returning Hoard can do is to deter! mine whether certain poll* are to be counted or rejected, your argument is a h perfectly good one, but is it not also true that the jurisdiction of the Board in comi mensurate with the duties and functions ; which it has to perform, and is it not true that the one main fact which it has r to perform is to ascertain who arc the r electors and to declare that ? and can it r 1)0 said, that is, that the board in mistaken r in the lnw in some points while discharging that function that n mistake is so jurisdictional as to vitiateit* return? 1 Mr.Tiumbull?No,sir, I do not. con? tend for that. i Justice Miller?Then my suggestion is i that the jurisdiction of that Board is to ascertain and declare who were elected i and that all below that is the exercise of the means and mode of procedure. Mr. Trumbull?To that I cannot quite f assent. I assent entirely to the proposii tion that in any matter over which the > Board had jurisdiction and discretion to I ?.? IUI juufjuii-ia in uut IU lie UlHlUrUCU. i The point which I make is whether it is its duty to canvass and compile the vote. ' It is also its sworn duty not to take jurisI diction of a question or reject rote* nn, less a foundation id laid for it. i Mr. Trumbull next argued against the , legality c?f the Returning Board and inI Hinted that it was not competent for four i persons to act. j Senator Efimunnda?Your point is that no steps could be taken by the Re turning Board until the Board was full V ; Mr. Trumbull?No step could be taken , until the Board was full, they having ! authority to till it. l'ossiblv a diU'erent I rule might apply if they had not power I to fill vacancies; but the power being ? there constitutes the elements of i this .Returning Board, l>eing requirI ed to consist of persons of different po' litical parties, I insist that the Board can I not go on without filling up the vacancy. The, Presiding Justice notified Mr. i Trumbull that his time had expired, but, i in consideration of the various interrup tions to which he had been subjected, i some iurther time was accordcd him, I which he used in presenting objections to . the electoral votes of Brewster and LeviI see, who held Federal oflices at the time > of their election. I Justice Bradley?Do vou intend to i prove that they were Federal olliceholdl ers at that time ? ' Mr. Trnmhull?VPJ hit. ! Justice Bradley?And that they were officeholder* at the time they cant their i votes? i Mr. Trumbull?No; I understand that , the proof will show that IkewHter teni dered his resignation on the 4th of No* i vernber and that it was accepted on the , 16th, and that, very singularly, it was . accepted to take effect on the lth, some i twelve days before it was rend at the In terior Department. i Senator Thurman?Does not the law t of Louisiana provide that if an elector t who has been chosen does not appear by s a certain hour the remaining electors may ' proceed to lill the vacancy? I Mr. Trumbull?There is such u provis, ion in the Acts of 18GS. I Senator Edmunds?IJut you say that i the law is not in force. ! Senator Thurman?If that law wis in ; force and if Brewster didn't appear at i the time, then there was a vacancy under , that law ? i Mr. Trumbull?No. I do not consider ? there was. The statutes of the United t States make two provisions, one, is for t the tilling; of any vacaucy that may occur I in the College when the electors meet to i give the electoral vote, and the other is. . that when an election has been held nnd no choice has been made on the day pre\ scribed by law. In that case an elector - may be chosen on a subsequent (day, here : there was no choice, it was just as if two , persons had received the ?auie vote, oi as if there had been no election on the 7th day of November. Senator Thnrinan?is not the real i question whether there was any power I in the electors to fill vacancies or to sup1 pose the persons had been qualified but i had not appeared? Mr. Trumbull?Then if this statute of 1SC8 was in force the other electors could have filled the vacancics. Mr. Thurmnn?But suppose the law [ was not in force ? Mr. Trumbull?Then there is no law ' to (ill vacancics. Kepresentntivo IIunion?Kxcopt by i election. Mr. Trumbull?That brings up these i complicated statutes. The statute of 1872 provides for filling all vacancies by pop* i ular election: If that statute wa? in force llicae vacancies would have to li lilled by popular election. 1( tlie law c 9 1SG8 wan m force then the absence o then? two electors would give the other ? authority to fill the vacancies provide \ auy one had been elected. it the vote 1 of I^vissee and Brewster are to b counted, and if a man ia to be made I'res I idenl of the United Htatea by countini their vote* and the vote* of Louisiana ( then it in done by mere forms of law, con 3 trary to the principle!* of the Constitu lion of tho United State* and in violatioi i of the right* of tho people. , Senator Thurman?la there auy statut of Louisiana that require* the certilical , of tho Governor? Mr. Trumbull?There in a statute tlia , requires the Governor to commission al i ollicera except certain persona thereii named, and which do not include Presi dential elector*. Senator Thurman?That i* ibo law o i J8T2, But is there any statute requiring i him to issue certificates to Presidentia elector* ? Mr. Trumbull?No,air, not specially. Mr. Stoughton followed with an argu ment on the Republican side. Ho ex pressed hia surprise at the objection that the certificate of Governor Kollogg wai inoperative. It would lw remembered that when the vote of Connecticut wai counted her Governor, Mr. Inger*oll, wai Presidential Elector at Large and that hi* certificate had been received withou! objection. Such objections were liardlj suitable to the dignity of the occasion It had also* been objected to-day and the objection had beeu urged with t good deal of zeal, that Governor Kellogg was not Governor of Louisiana, and thai Louisiana wits governed by a militarj despotism. He supposed that that meant that a military force had been on the representation of Governor Kellogg tc the President ordered to Louisiana for iue purpose 01 suppressing insurrection. The learned counsel (Carpenter) wn* right when lie succeeded in Maying that without nucli aid the government, ol which Kellogg was the head, would have ken overturned, but the counsel should have rellected that the very fact that Gov. Kellog had made such application, und that it had ccen.grauted wax decisive evidence that he watt Governor of Louisiana, lie argued that the Returning Board wan a legal board aud had the power to ascertain the vote, and finally the certificate; it seemed to him the decision ol the commission in the Florida case determined the entire question here as to the right ol the commission to go behind the action of the KetBrning Board, and did not perceive that auv question, much less the main question, that was uow open for argument. He quoted against Trumbull's argument from the report by Senator Trumbull to the effect that neither the Senate or lloune, nor botli houses jointly have the power under the constitution ^to canvass the returns of an ejection and that the manner of choosing electors was left exclusively to the State, lie also quoted on the same point a letter receutly published from ex-Judge Church, of Sew York, vthom he characterized as a great lawyer and an upright Judge aud a pure politician. lie went on to argue that a State corrects the frauds of its own officers ami does not apply to Congress for that purpose and that Congress would best jhtloriu its duty by discharging it within its authority, leaving out frauds that are sometimes assumed and sometimes offered to be proved to be taken care of by the tribunals, who have the jurisdiction over them. Congress might have the power, but it did not have the right to disregard the highest legal authority of a state. Coming in tho course of lain argument to tho objection of the Returning Board of ljouisiana, for not having tilled the vacancy in thcBoard.hc said the law on the subject wan merely directory and that failure to obey the law did not interfere in any manner with the capacity or jurisdiction of the Hoard. If two or five members had been Democrats and had afterwards changed their polltics, would the Board be asked to cease to exist on that account? In conclusion he said: Talk to me about the outrage, frauds and disfranchisement of the voters. ^ There are two sides to the question, and if you sit here to go hack and canvass the votes, you sit here to administer the laws of Louisiana and you must administer them by learning who have been disfranchised and what was the lawful vote of that State in harmony with her laws, and not in harmony with the will of a party. Mr. Shellabarger next addressed the Commission on tne same side. He argued that the act ot 1S72 did not govern in 1870, during the Presidential election, and that the revisory act of 1870, which provided for a canvass of the returns by the Board and Governor, was repealed and was not in force in 1870, for that provision which made the Governor a canvasser for the purpose of election was inconsistent with the 54th section of the session act of 1870. which exoressly provided a different tribunal for all elections, including the Electoral College. It was also repealed by the repealing clause of the session act of 1870. The election law of 1872 applies to all elections and furnishes the machinery or means of' conducting all elections in the State, including ?the Electoral College, but it may be asked, said the speaker, "How can "you preservo and keep in force that provision of the act of 1870 reversing that of 1868, which pro viuen iur lining uie j^eciorai isoucge, consistently with that which you have just been Htatiog. 1 answer, tirst of all, that it is an exceedingly benign canon of interpretation; that a law in never repealed by a new act unlets either express* ly ho done or else the repugnance l>e hucIi that it would be impossible for the two acta to stand together, and in using this language I am but repeating the words of the Supreme Court of the United State* in announced on many occasions. Another interpretation is "this, that in cafes of doubt, whenever an interpretation would lead to consequences that are either ahnurd or hurtlul to the public welfare, that interpretation will never be tolerated un lew its escape ia impossible. The next step is this: Is it possible to escape the conclusion that under the legislation of Louisiana Louisiana was disfranchised. ai.d I invite the gentlemen on the other side who may suppose this act is repealed by which only the Electoral College can be filled, to show me some Htatute that forces upon you, either by direct provision or anv fair interpretation, the conclusion that Louisiana has been disfranchised in this process of legislation. There is nothing to repeal that Bection which provides for filling a vacancy under the laws of 1SGS and 1870. except the repealing clause of the act of 1S72, which says that all other acts on the subject of election laws are hereby repealed. In every case of doubt the practical construction that has been given the law is conclusive. This law has been practicallv construed as applicable to the Presidential election, for all elections that have been held since it has been on the statute book have in fact been held and conducted under it. The counsel proceeded to argue that Kellogg was the rightful governor of Louisiana, and continued as follows: Now I take the language of the Supreme Court of the United States. It is In these words, "It rest* with Congress to decide what government is the established ofte in a State, and when the Senators and Representatives from a State are admitted Into the coundls of the United States, the authority of the government nnder which they are appointed, as vfell as its Republican character ? is recognized by the proper Const if tional authority, ami its tleoiHioii in lii f inn on every department of the (Jove h went, and could not l>e questioned in il judicial tribunal. 8hellabarger next a gued that the Returning Board wo e legal body, und that the elector/* objec to were not ineligible. 1 come now, * i; the Counsel, to the rest question in I i, cafe, and really the only question tli is, and that one is decided by what ; have just decided in the case of Florl i and that in whether or not it in corn tent for you to go behind tho act of e Returning Board of the State 0 Louisiana for the purpose of lind out what happened in its exercise of t jurisdiction bestowed by tho statute 1 the threshold of thiH question. 1 w l to say that any intimation that when deny the power of going behind tho ti ing of that Board, we are thereby cov f ing frauds or seeking to escape acruli ( is I submit unutterably unjust. li 1 I not even a semblance of fairness in Jt ill become* my friend to talk to about this being an attempt to put a it into the Presidential Chair of the L'ui States by fraud. Wo hear them sayi t the divorcement of the legislative, Km ) utive and Judicial is incomplete, tl ! Congress could not exercise J ml it i. powers. At the very next moment, t i Counsel nays, oh, yew, you have judicial powers. You can do somethi I that quo warranto can do, and becai ' quo warranto can try this thing tl . can do it, Then in another case we ti i thepe geutlemen coming up and savi i oh, Mr. Kellogg is Governor of iJoti ; iana, and therefore he is not an elect and then the next moment you hu ' them coming forward and saying, oh, is no otlicer at all; he is not Uovert of Louisiana, but McKnery. 1 I now conclude tliia argument by ' allusion to what litis been the weight a burden on the other side. It is in regn I to tliia iillpcml nntrnwn in ?!?? Klntn : Louisiana. Why, gentlemen, can y shut your eyes to what is now, if nott ! snddest, certainly one of the undd chapters in American history. By acti count, through the aid of tien.8heridi it is now set down as part of your histc that in this blighted and blasted State Louisiana 4,0(10 and odd citizens li:i i been murdered?mnrdered by ylan, un dered by system, by organization; nil ; dered for the purpose of putting do' the right of the black man to vote, a that thing has been going on tin on ! three dark and terrible yearn, was my misfortune to go myself, in 18(50, to this State, hum the Congress of the United State*, ami took the testimony of hundreds of iu< and when 1 was taking it 1 literally s with my feet in pools of human blot shed in putting out the free governmt of the State of Louisiana, and they t put it out! Oh, right well and efl'ectual gentlemen of America, (that is a higl designation than "gentlemen of the (Jo mission"), remember there is one tr here to-night?the question whether tin laws mt)de in Louisiana in pursuance that 10.>d article of her Constitution, t joining it on the Legislature to uia laws for the protection of the rights the freeduien to vote. If you fail to c ecute these laws you will have stabl] your country in tliat place where we si taught from childhood the life of t country is to be found and to reside, wit: in the freedom and purity of t ballot-box.

FRO POKED SPECIE SILL. A bill has been dratted to meet hii stantially the recommendations of t President in his recent special messn with regard to early specie payiuen and submitted to him, as it probab will be to the Committee of Ways ai Means. Its provisions differ in fever respects lrom the suggestions of tl President, but it is thought he will n seriously object to the changes. The b provides for the use of theft) years' 4 p cent bonds already authorized by the a of July, 1370, and by the redemption a of Januarv, 1875. The amount of gree backs to be funded into these bonds $100,000,000, limited to $10,000,000 in ai one month. A further sum of $:i0,000,m in greenbacks is authorized to bo wit drawn in exchange for the subsidiary ai ver, and to this end the coin is be increased to an aggregate of $80,OW 000. including the $00,000,000 at preae authorized. The theory of the provisi< is that silver change will take the nla of small greenback ones and twos. The are limited by the act of 18C3 to $35,00* 000, but the amount outstanding is belt $30,000,000. No commission is allowi for funding or exchange of greenbac itu- for bonds or siltcr coin The expenses iTid- of engraving, printing, etc., of bonds are >rn- limited to 1 of 1 per cent.
