Mr.. David Dudley Field, the DISTINGUISHED
lawyer, and heretofore a republican, has been
nominated by the democrats for Congress to
fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation
of Mr.. Smith Ely, the new mayor of New
York. In a speech accepting the nomination,
which is equivalent to 40 election, as it is made
10 a strong democratic district, Mr.. Field said
that the electoral franchise, 10 fact its Very es.
sence, consisted 10 this-that every lawful vote
should be counted, and that 20 vote should be
counted that had not been cast. MIR. Field
will be an able auxiliary to the members of the
House of Representatives who have determined
that the man who received the greater number
of electoral votes shall b, President, notwith-
standing the radical bravado to the contrary.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1877-01-01

The most favorable indication of a peaceful
settlement of the presidential difficulty that
has appeared siuce that difficulty began, is, in
the opinion of some, the appointment Of MIR.
Copkling on the committee to devise q mode
for counting the electoral vote. MIR. Conkling
has kept his own counsel 90 the suit ct OF the
frauds Of the returning boards, aud may be,
and, we trust, is, rot SO blinded by party feeling,
or bouud by party ties, as to be unable to see
the right course. or incapable of pursuing it.

Mr.. HAYES wants to build up bite
party in the South. Nothing is easier. He
has but to withdraw his army Of invasion,
respect the constitution, economize the ex-
penses Of the Government, turn out the
sealawags and thieves who have disgraced
the American name, and he will have done
it. He can then go on sympathizing with
the "poor negro" as much as he feels is
good for him. No one at the South will
object to this.
