field replies to the protest of the de-
featcd Conservative cand dat o s
against the extension of the time OF
voting and fraud in the late elcc-
tions here. AS to the extension OF
time, he says it was clearly tho in.
tent Of Congress that polls should
be kept open until all the votes were
polled, and this finds precedent in
the laws of Virginia.
With reference to illegal voting
he says he can only investigate that
when the registering officers make
their returns to him. He promises
to submit the claims Of the defeated
candidates to the convention when
it meets, and give both parties his
assistance in discovering any fraud
that may have been perpetrated. AS
to polls being kept open longest
where black votes were heaviest, he
says it is sufficient to say they were
kept open in all cases until all the
votes were poled.
He concludes thus "That threats
intimidation and actual violence, in
more than one instance, were, as
you alleged, resorted to by the
blacks to control the votes of persons
of their own race, is no doubt true.
Whether tho effect was to change
any considerable number Of votes
may be difficult to determine, but is
certainly a Legitimate subject for in
vcstigation, and if it appear that
such has been done it will be just
grounds for contegting the election .
