Congressional Election.

It is understood tina. the Democratic
aud Conservative party Of the Third Dis
trict will vote for their candidate for Con-
gress-Hon Frank Hercford-at the cleo
ton to be held 90 the 22d Of August. 1t
was not intended at first to do SO, but 10
vote for Representative 10 Congress at the
October election provided for in the new
Constitution. The Republicans contend
that the Constitution not specifying the
day when the Congressional election is to
ba held, leaves them at liberty to vote for
their Congressman either in August or
October, believing that they can succeed
a, either, Radical House would give the
Radical candidate bis scat. The Courier
III speaking Of this matter has this to say:
"a proper understanding concerning inc
certificates to be issued by the Governor
has, we are advised, also been reached,
doubtless in accordance with the provls-
ions of the slimitel partnership" 1t
would no doubt be very hue, if either 10
October or on the ODD Of August at the
general election, the Republicans could
dnd no Democratic candidates in the field,
aud without reference to the legality OF the
election, vote for their men without oppo-
sitiou, receive certificates by virtue of the
bargain and place minority representatives
in Congress by trick. 10 defeat this
scheme the Democrats have determined to
vote for Congressman in August"
