resolution that a committee of five stockholders exclusive of directors be appointed to consider the ques tion of removing the library to the Mechan ics block and to receive any like propositions that may be made i Geo izrthrop took strong ground against removing the library from its present location 'Indeed he saw no good reason why the subject should be agitated at all The library is in good shape convenient to a large proportion of the members and sub scribers and the terms of the lease were such that the 'Association could not honorably leave there 1 Erwin Palmer said the Association had no right to move the library The As sociation had solemnly agreed to remain there for seven years from ebruary 1871 and common honesty required the Associa tion to drop the subject at once Canfield said his own idea was that they had better remain where tney were but he did not see that Mr resolution necessarily meant removal Mr Pond stated' that Thos McGraw the owner of the Mechanics block had made a proposition to the director of the library to fit up a room and give the Association free use of it for ten years and to pay a bonus of $500 per annum beside The directors had carefully considered the offer and had with the exception of Mr Griffin agreed that it could not be accepted at least until the ex piration of the present lease Speed said the Association was bound to keep the library where it is for two years longer and it could make no difference with the plain doty of the Association if Mr Mc offer were twice as liberal as it is Wm Jennison was tn favor of remaining where they were other things being equal but in order to fully disarm the prejudice of some of the members he thought it well enough to adopt Mr resolution Mr Pond said Mr McGraw had threatened to establish another bar library in case of failure to secure the removal of this one to his building Mr Lothrop said so far as he was con cerned he had not the slightest objection to Mr establishing half a dezen libraries if he wanted to The more of that kind of enterprise the better but he should cast his vote in favor of keeping this library where it is A vote by shares was then taken on Mr' resolution and it was lost by 55 to 21 John Ward suggested that It would be a good thing to hold a meeting of the Associa tion especially to discuss the removal Bition and he made a motion that the ing adj ourn to next Saturday at 2:30 forthat The motion' was down The Association then proceeded to elect officers for the ensuing year as follows: President Ashley Pond Directors

Cruelty to Aulunala About three yesterday a small span of gray horses attached to one of the Ba varian brewery wagons which was loaded with fifty five bags of barley were blocked at the corner of

and the roadway was decidedly slip pery A young man about twenty years old was the driver and proved to be the greatest brute connected with the establishment The horsefc worked evenly and nobly pulling until theiSmuscles stood out like ropes but they stir the load Then half a dozen men put their shoulders to the wheels and while the driver cruelly whipped Ms team they moved the vehicle a few feet In doing so however the horses slipped for ward upon their knees and back ward upon their haunches straining every nerve and wrenching every mus cle in fruitless tenacious efforts to hold their smooth and unprotected hoofs to the glaring icy pavement Officer Mullen ap peared and ordered the driver to throw off a portion of his load but the order was not obeyed until the wagoa had been pushed

this dis trict but up to a very late hour tbe clerk ot the court bad not issued the writ Chief Justice Carter It is believed was applied to and refuted to grant a writ THB MAJORITY REPORT THB SENATE COM MITTEE ON LORIDA Senator Sargent to day submitted to the Senate the report of the special committee of that body appointed to investigate the flec tion matter in lorids After reciting tbe resolutions under which the committee acted and retting out the election law of lorida it proceeds to state and discuss the action of the State Canvassing Board showing that it msde a preliminary canvass of the returns on their face giving to the Hayes electors forty five majority The Board then commenced to hear contests holding its sessions In pub lic Tne committee say that the course subse quently pur ued by the Board in this matter was exactly in cccotdance with its practice in 1874 when by written advice of the Demo cratic Attorney General and ef Democratic lawyers it went behind the returns for the benefit of the Democratic party The result of this canvass was 930 maj wlty for the Hayes electors The committee argue at length that this ccunt was legal and consti tutional and that the Board had a right to seek the true vote behind the returns under the statute which created it They say a stat ute enacted pro hono publico to prevent election frauds should tie ta netlcially construed The report then goes on to argue that the finding ef the Board is conclusive and cannot be re vised by a re canvass or reached by a writ of quo wan auto because tbe electors are functus officio or reversed by Congress becau the uoustitution lodges the whole power in the State A great many authorities are cited to sustain nese positions drawn however in mlnijterial certificate or who

Board and has no power to decide any thing It is argued that Congress may look behind his certificate to ascertain the facts ae a court may go behind the mere ministe rial cert fieate of clerks purporting to verify a judgment to see what the judgment really is but if Congress can revise the action of the Board it must go to the bottom of the poll and ascertain the true vote in ell the contested counties it would have to go as far as a court in a quo warranto proceeding Such an attempt would nut be made for there ie no time and any thing less wou'd be unjust fur going to the bottom of the poll the committee say would show according to evidence taken by them that the Haye electors hd more than 930 tn irlty i be report then proceeds to dis cuss the testimony in detail In Alachua County tbe committee exm Ined individual voters at both the Archer No 1 and No 2 precincts and the report asserts that instead of Republican fraud there was a Democratic fraud of over one hundred votes in these precincts The committee quote largely from testimony and presen a con fid erable amount of argument to support this assertion They also present to show that a railroad tria of passengers voted the Tilden ticket in Waldo although the citi zens of other States In regard to Baker and Daval Counties the committee say it is shown that the State Board decidea that tbe only legal return be fore them from Baker County was that of tha untv Judge ard bls that they so decided the first day and simply ihered to that decision lu the recanvass made under tbe order of the Supreme? Court They however previous to that order went to the prtcinct returns for the true vote but when the court made its order they recurred to the return which they had fi st adjudged to be tbe only legal one The committee claim to show that the county paper was In no sense a return and bad not at any time been treated as such and it could not be so treated because the persons necessary to make a legal canvass were not present as they were in Duval Conn tv which Democrats Insist is a parallel se The committee however claim to meke it very apparent that there is a vital dHterenee between the two cases and say if the face of returns is to rule it should rale in Baker County where at most there was misguided al as well as In Jackson where there was prt meditated rascality i Counting all the returns on their face and tsk ing even the pretend return made by the County Clerk of Baker will still leave Hayes a small majority The committee say tney cae fully examined into the election lu Duval County and found it honest but io Jackson they found evidence of 250 fraudulent Democratic votes which they proceed to set forth verv fullyl They state that they found many indications of fraud and much Intimidate ot voters at Precinct No 3 Key West in Monroe County In Monatee County they say the election was a Democratic farce Hamilton County tbe returnsof tbe elect jna vote were interlined

Abbott Hot and Gai field to present the House this high office recognized and agreed tn by all tbe people of the Repub lie can not be overestimated and leads me to express to Congress and to the nation my great satisfaction at the adoption of a meas ure that affords an orderly means of decision of the gravely exciting question While the history of our country In its earlier periods shows that the President of the Senate haa counted the electoral votes and declared their standing cur whole history shows that in no instance of doubt or dispute has he exercised tbe power of deciding and that the ro Houses of Congress have disposed of all such doubts and disputes although in no In stance hitherto have they been such that their decision could essentially have affected the result or the first time then the Gov ernment of tbe United States is now brought to meet the question as one vital to the re sult and this under conditions not best calculated to produce agreement or induce calm feeling in tbe several branches of the government or among the people: of the country In a case when as now the result is Involved in doubt it is the highest duty of the law making pow er to provide tn advance a constitutional or derly and just method of executing the Con stitution in this most interesting and critical clause of Its provisions The doing so far from beluga compromise of right is an en forcement of right and an execution of tbe powers conferred by the Constitution upon Congress I think that this orderly method has been secured by tbe bill which ap pealing to the Constitution and law aa a guide in ascertaining the rights provides means ot deciding questions of single returns through tbe direct action of Congress and in respect to double returns by a tribunal of inquiry whose decisions stand unless 'douses of Congress shall concur determin ing otherwise fins securing a definite dispo sition of all questions of dispute in whatever aspect they may arise with or without this law As all the States have votes and as a tie vote Is impossible It must be that one of the two candidates has been elect ed and it would be deplorable to witness an irregular coutroverey as to which of the two should receive or which should continue to hold the office In all pe riods of history controversies have arisen as to the succession or choice of chiefs of dtates and no pa ty or citizen loving heir country and its free institutions can sacrifice too much of mere feeling in preserving through the upright course of law their country from the smallest danger to Its peace on such an occasion and it caunet be impressed too firmly in the hearts of all people that true liberty and real progress can exist only through cheerful adherence to constitu tional law The bill purports to provide only for the settlemeht of questions arising from the recent elections The fact that such: questions can arise demonstrates the neces sity which I cannot doubt will before long be supplied of permanent gen eral legislation to meet cases which have not been contemplated in the Constitu tion or laws of the country The bill may not be perfect and its provisions may not be such as would be best applicable to all future occasions but it is calculated to meet the present condition of questions and of the country The country is agitated It needs and it desires peace and quiet and harmony all parts and all sections Its industries Are arrested labor un employed capital idle and enterprise paralyzed by reason of the doubt and anxiety attending the uncertainty of a double claim to the Chief Magistracy of the nation It wants io be assured teat the result of the election will be accepted without resistance from the supporters of the disappointed candidate and that its highest officer shall not hold his place with a questioned title of right Be lieving that this bill will secure these ends I give it my signature (Signed) GRANT Executive Mansion January 2J 18j7 THB RADICAL

counsel to "conclude the arguments and the court to charge the jury Mr Chipman finished the an naming up tor tbe prisoner and Mr Cheever closed the case for the people The court room was the scene of as tremendous a jam as that ot riday when the trial was begun and a squad poltnsmeu mesa kept constantly busy preserving order and keeping a path way clear for the accommodation of persons having legitimate business either in the court room or in the office At noon the court took a recess until 4 and long before the doors were unlocked the crowd began to surge into the corridor acx lous to secure the best seats At exactly 4 Recorder Swift took his place and so soon as the buzz consequent upon his appearance had subsided the pris oner was led in by Officer Robert McDonald and seated in the dock His father occupied a chair close at hand and the counsel on either side sat in their accustomed places at the bar table THICBABCS To the jury was as follows The case has been ao fully and ably argued by counsel and the facts are so few and the evidence so far aa it la material la ao short and must be so fresh in your recollection that I deem It unnecessary to comment upon the testimony but I shall confine myself to laying down some rales to guide you in ar riving at a correct conclusion In order to convict the defendant of the crime alleged against him you must be satis fied beyond a reasonable doubt that he killed McKeon that the act was unlawful and com mitted with malice aforethought The killing and that it was unlawful I un derstand not to be disputed Waa it com mitted with malice aforethought It is not claimed nor ia there any evidence that there waa legal provocation or excuse in this case and if you are satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that the defen Jant inten tionally fired the pistol when aimed at vi tal part of body it will be your du ty to find him guilty of murder Whether murder in the first of second de gree will depend upon whether there was an actual Intent to kill and whether the killing was willful deliberate and premeditated It is not necessary that the pm pose should have been formed at any particular length of time before the act waa committed If when the defendant encountered McKeon in the hall the defendant deliberately made up his mind to kill McKeon unless he would comply with his order or request then the act when committed would be mur der but if the act was the offspring of a sod den impulse growing out of irritation at Mc refusal to move formed hastily and without reflection then the crime was only murder in the second degree And while drunkenness is no excuse for crime if you find that the defendant was too Intoxicated at the time of the killing to understand wbat be was doing and to entertain the intent and form a clear and settled purpose to kill Mc Keon your verdict should be guilty of mur der in the second degree and if you have any reasonable doubt aa to whether the killing was murder in the first or second degree you should find it to be the latter But it is claimed that the shooting was accidental and it is admitted by the prosecu tion that it this be so the defendant can only be convicted of manslaughter To maintain this claim the defendant relies upon his state ment that while the pistol was pointed in the direction of tbe deceased and while he was endeavoring to uncock it the pistol went eff accidentally The statement ot the defend ant Is entitled to such credit as you think it deserves even in pref erence to the testimony ot sworn witnesses But you should remember that It is not given under the sanction of an oath and that the defendant is under the strongest Inducement to clear himself and you ought also to consider whether in consequence of his intoxication at the time the defendant was in a condition to fully comprehend what was going on or what he did so as to give an accurate account of it at this It is also for you to say whether it is possible or probable that the wound could have been inflicted In the manner in which it was if the defend ent was holding the pistol as be says he was or whether if it were to held the bullet would not have entered body in a different place or If it had entered where it did would not have taken a different direc tion It you have any reasonable doubt as to whether tbe crime was murder or man slaughter your verdict should be manslaught er i Some of the witnesses for the prosecu tion it is admitted are not of reputable char acter and they have contradicted one another in some parts of their testimony How much credit shall be given them is for you to say It is for you to consider whether they had any motive to swerve from the truth and how far their testimony in regard to the material points agrees together Where the testimony for tbe prosecution and for the defendant conflicts it Is for you to say which is most entitled to credit and which is most con sistent with the admitted facts or those proven to your satisfaction and with the con auct of the defendant both before and at the time he was at the house where McKeon was killed and which is most reasonable and probable It is your duty to weigh carefully all tbe testimony in the ease in a manner befitting the solemnity and gravity of the occasion and to render such a verdict as is warranted by the evidence and the law given youby the court The jury retired in charge of Officer Edward Ironmonger at a quarter past four The vast crowd settled down to quietly waiting aa if they knew a long time must elapse before a verdict could be reached Some peacefully slept i whlle others kept a wary eye on the door leading to the jury room 'The prisoner sat with bowed head and serious aspect speaking at long intervals and then only in response to questions asked him by his father or counsel At six Recorder Swift was seen to emerge from the jury room whither was said he had gone to inquire of tha jury what was the prospect as to an agreement All eyes were upon him as he again mounted the bench and directed Sergeant Reynolds to proclaim a recess until 9:30 That done the crowd filed slowly out and the court room was left to the wary Ironmonger eu premest of tbe spot for the hours that Intervened before the court again met The evening session was also largely at tended and the Interest grew space The court and counsel came a few minutes be fore the expiration of the recess and at ex actly twenty five minutes after nine a loud rap was heard on the jury room door from within Ironmonger's head disappeared for a moment and upon withdrawing it he an nounced jury have agreed your them come waa the reply The twelve men walked slowly to their seats and after the customary preliminaries the foreman announced the verdict of murder in the second Scarcely a sound followed that announce ment big with the fate of Maralne Smith The spectators moved a little uneasily on the benches but there was no demonstration of any kind The prisoner seemed entirely calm Hie first action was to take a chew of tobacco immediately after which he arose and held out his hands toward McDonald who waa approaching him with the handcuffs now ao familiar to him He was escorted bak to the jail followed a portion of the way by several hundred per sona but when the party proper turned into Gratiot avenue the yelling curious throng had scattered
