Mr.. ROYALS card puts him in position
entirely different from that which we had
understood to be his position. 1t is identi-
cal with our OWE and the States, so far as
we can see. except that he will first do all in
his power TO convince the other delegates to
Cincinnati that Judge FIELD ought to be
nominated, whilst we would likely urge Mr..
SEYMoUR's claims first, and fall back upon
HANCOCK or BAYARD before yielding to the
FIELD men.
Let us have peace.

Judge Field.

We are glad to he able to announce that
our uptown morning contemporary does
not consider Judge FIELD the only mar
whose claims ought to be weighed by the
delegates to Cincinnati from Virginia. We
had supposed that ii was for FIELD first
last, and all the time; and such seems to
have been fhe general understanding in
Richmond. The letters from Mr.. LEWIS Z.
HARvIE, Governor KEMPER, aud others,
which 1t recently published, were called out
BIZ man who is not such a strong FIELD
man after all. Nor does he press Judge
FIELDS claims because he lately delivered
able dissenting opinions in several impor-
tant cases decided by the Supreme Court OF
the United States. Judge FIELDS friends
have expended hundreds and hundreds OF
dollars In having those dissenting opinions
printed In various journals In different
parts OF the country; but not because they
Intended to urge dissemination on account
OF those opinions. We quote:
"Itis proposed to rar him because his entire life
has been an assertion OF the proposition liat The
people OF the.United States have granted certain
defined powers only TO the Government OF the
Union and have reserved all o her powers In them-
selves and because II has been continued pr0tc
and ramonsfrapre against the proposition u mt the
Government Of he Union NAV lisurp at It's pleasure
powers which the people have refused 10 grant 10
and have reserved Ia themselves. His dss ntipg
opinions assert these propositions constantly. and
they sent throsgh the country TO show the peo-
pie thai this has been The doctrine OF bis life Heds
not maoe candidate because ne has given dissan,
ing opthkcns. but he Is made candidate because he
holds opinions on these vital n eaters OF the cha
racer Described. His dissenting opinions ire used
lust rs any letter on the subject that he may have
written, OF any speech that he may have made Is
used. 1Aas are used as evidences of what are his
views upon this ali-ini2ortsnt matter"
IL that ell, be In no wise differs from
Mr.. SEYN6u., or Mr. .BAyARp, or General
HANCOCK. Their "whole lives have been
an assertion OF the proposition tiat the peo-
pie OF the United States" de-, &C., (See
above.) But how did 1t happen that Mr..
LINCOLN appointed Mr.. FIELD Judge?
How did 1t bsppen that aansn holding such
opinions did all he could against the South
during the war, AMI was never suspected
OF having the least particle OF that sympa.
thy for the South which even Governor
SEYMOUR and Mr.. RAyARD We're suspected
OF entertaining.

How She Persuaded Him.

A day or two ago a woman enter
ed telegraph Office and said to the
receiver Of messages that she desired
to telegraph her husband, who wes
in Chicago, for money. He pointed
ner to The counter supplied with
blanks, aud told her the rate for 10
words she struggled away for
quarter Of an hour. and then handed
in The following:
Wont you please send me $40 By
next mail 2"
81 don't know whether tba. will
do or not, she said, as she felt for
her money. IF yoq were to receive
such q dispatch from your wife
would your forward her the money ?"
"Well-well, | might" be replied
in doubtful tones.
Now, you wait ] don't like the
dispatch at all, because / tried TO
keep i within 10 words. Ill write
another
She tore 1t up, walked over 70 the
counter, and IN three minutes hand
ed IN new one reading:
"Am out of food and fuel and want
ten dollars ss soon es you can get it
here. If you can't spare it | spou,
the parlor carpet.
That would bring the money from
me" said the receiver, as be read
the lines and marked the number Of
words.
Then | guess it will flom him.
Send it along, and if l don't get the
money inside Of two days you'll hear
somebody ripping up forty yards Of
