The Florida Fraud.

A meeting Of the democratic Congressional
Executive Committee, held in Washington,
yesteId az. resolution was passed, as the sense
of the committee, that it was proper an in!estl'
CATION should be made into the frauds 10 Flori-
da and Louisiana 10 connection with the Presl.
DENTAL election. and that the Judiciary Com
mitee of the House be requested to take such
action as will secure an investigation for the
exposure Of the facts.
The Washington Republican says MIR. Spring
err, Of Illinois, is evidently the leading spirit
in the movement, and be is not without numer.
Gus anxious advisers. He acts independently
of Montgomery Blair, but his partisan asso.
cates on tho floor of the House seem to be in
cined 10 their conversations with him, however
they may talk otherwise with other people, to
encourage him. But the most significant fact
yet elected in this connection is an apparent TO-
timacy between Mr.. Springer and Associate
Justice Field, Of the Supreme Court, who
seems also to be on terms of similar Intimacy
with Mr. Blair. Last night, when reporter
of the Republican called on MIR. Springer,
Judge Field, riding up to the front OF that
gentleman's residence, saluted him With the
remark:
"Holfoa old fellow; why didnt you intro
duca that resolution to day p
Mr. Springer reply was an invitation to the
Judge to dismount, when consultation fol.
lowed between them. Subsequently, when the
same reporter called on Judge Blair, at his
residence at the other end Of the city, Judge
Field also called there, and again Interrupted the
pursuit of information by the vicarious agent
of this journal. The coincidence Of the calls
struck the reporter at once as little queer, to
say the least. Judge Field, it will be remem
bered, was not member of the Electoral
Commission, although there was some talk of
his being selected for that duty instead of Jus.
tice Bradley.
