The case of Florida, upon which hiDgea the question as to who shall be President of this country for the next four years, his now gone to the Com ission ected I for the purpose of deciding the vexed problem, and the people- anixiously await their decision--' They can do no more, but still they expect this Commission to decide according to the law and facts in the case." as" all 'honest, conscientious tn bunals are bound to do. If they fail to give a just; and righteous decision, their only punishment will consist in the frowns and maledictions of an' out raged, and injured people. There is no law or force to punish them for a wrongful "action, for they are a law in themselves, and their decission will be accepted as final, if not as' just. If however, the Supreme Court Judges composing thit august tribunal wish to preserve, the confidence and respect of the Anfiencan people, tney.musi not decido in favor of "a riiao who has no right or title to the office. We' eay, emphatically, that fromt he evidence before them, they cannot give a decission in favor of Governor Hayes, and the most they can do, without viola ting: their patht, is to decide that no President has been elected by the peo plej and let Ihe election of that impor tant personage be thrown irito.

the National House of Representatives. 1 Itha3 been asmaxim of the law for all time.that fraud vitiate a deed or contract, and that being the caie. they are bound to decide pecording to theproors presented for their consideration. In Ldusiana; fraud, psrjury aid bribery have, been proved in such a manner as to leave no reasonable doubt of guilt, and the alleged perpetrators could be conyicted of these jnonstrous crimes before any impartial and unbiassed jury in the land. The testimony wa that of the clerks of the returning board, who were of the same political faith, with their employers, and were hired for the expressed purpose of cutting down a heavy majority, and of defeating the popular wjll.i As the matter now st-nds with the Florida Electors, we hold that the Commissioners are either lound to receive the certificates of the Tilden Electors, or throw out the vote of that State and refuse to allow it to be counted for either of the claimants.

The Constitution of the United States expressly declares that each State shall regulate tbe manner of electing her Presidential Electors. The laws of Florida have proscribed the manner in which the Electors shall be chosen. The Supreme Court of that State has decided that the returning board have failed to conform with the requirements of the law regulating counting the electoral the Hayes Electors, who hold these certificates, do so unjustly. In other words, they pronounce the certificate of the Hayes Electors to be -counterfeits, and the certifidates of the Tilden Electors as the only true and genuine ones in existence. The case is made out as clearly as it possible for anything to be proven and dark indeed must be the vision of those who can give a verdict in the face of such overwhelming testimony.

The Supreme Court in this country, has, heretofore borne a character, I which, for ability, honesty and impartiality, has been above suspicion. May they not in this instance disappoint tbe hopes and expectations of the people, and cause a cloud to hang upon their char acters for all time. THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF NORTH CAROLINA.
