The unseating, on Thursday of Field
(rep) in one of the Boston districts by
one majority, by the vote Of Ben Butler
aud all but nine democrats, is one Of the
most unjust and partisan acts Of which
Congress was ever guilty. 1t was accom-.
plished in utter defiance Of the legally
expressed and legally declared vote OF the
district, and even against the protest of
some of the ablest and fairest democrats
of the House-and accomplished, too, only
by the most reprehensible partisan meas
ures TO dragon democratic members.
The speech Of Congressman Frye Of this
district, in support Of Field. was pro-
nounced one OF the ablest and most cogent
ever delivered in Congress; and his hand
ling of Butler most effective aud crushing
But argument could not prevent the ac-
comphshment of the outrage-and its
accomplishment, too, by Buffers vote

leans who have heretofore regarded But

WASHINGTON, March 26.-Among the
callers at the Executive Mansion this
morning we're Matthews, Hor, Cameron
Of Wisconsin, Ferry aud McCook. They
called upon the President with reference
TO the speech Of Senator Howe They all
expressed more feeling in the matter than
the President and suggested the speech be
answered, fearing that to permit it to pass
in silence might be an admission OF its
whole ruth. The President took a diff
crent view Of the question, placing HIM
self on the ground that what he had done
ia the way Of official action was based on
his sense Of right, without thinking for q
moment what might bc the result as affect
ing him personally. He was opposed to
public response, prcIerring his acts b,
interpreted by his motives aud principles
lie had sough, to perform hi, duty and
with this he was content, no matter how
Others with prejudiced minds might view
his conduct All would recolect, he said
how bitterly Senator Howe had denounced
Lincoln toward the close Of his first term
and how others sought to prevent Lin
co'n's being nominated for a second term,
but notwithstanding al this he was re-
nominated aud became more popular than
ever The people having become better
acquainted with him appreciated MS con-
duct the more Hayes was perfectly will
ins to he Judged by the same tribunal.
he does not appear to be disturbed by
Howe's speech, thinking time will yindi-
cate him.
