Seconilly, they aie-ert that if any pr?> visimis of the statute aa to proof of intimidation I were disregarded, such provisions were ?lirectory and not mandatory, and the failure to comply with them did not invalidate the acts of the ls?ar?l. Thirdly, they sho'v by a Uuited States Supreme Court decision and by an array of other high judicial authority that the law of 1872 can? not he interpret? ?1 to work th? n>?peal of the section in the act of Inox which pr< vid.sl for liliing VacaaSBBB in the F.Iectoral College. Foiirthlv. the failure to till the va. an.-v in the Ixtanl by the ap? pointment of a Democrat, they assert, was a disre? gard of a ?lirectory re*|tiircinent, reprehensible no ?loiibt, bnt not affecting the jtirisdictmn of the i board; numerous decisions are cited to sustain this posjli.iti. Fifthly, th?>y ?leny all the charges mtwle under this hea?l ?in partisan allegations. Sixthly, they argnc t'iat Congress, snd therefore th?'('?Im? mission, cannot a? into the question of in<-limbility ; iti th.? rases of the two electors Levisse and lire?vst, r, they claim that they were legally put in to ?ill vacancies and that they were eligible at the . time they voted, havuig previously resigne?! their I'd. ral '?tin-en they held at the time of the election. .Seventh!;., as t?) the electors holding State oili.es, they .leny that tiny were disipiali.ied. ?ml aascit that a State cannot add to the causes of ineligibilrty prescribed by the Federal Constitution.

F1EI.I? inVIN.i T.? ORiiAMZ.*" A BOLT. |by iBtsaBilB t<> nil* miBt-.E.l WA-niN'in.v, Feb. 11.? Th.-re has been general comment to-night over the action of the House to? day in passing the r?solution <?f tl.?? Florida Commit? tee, deflating Tildaa elected in that State, and over tiie u,v. .?fixation by Mr. Field's Committee of the qoestioB ut the iii.'ligiiulity of ..ir.i.'hal??-c. an elector from Illinois, when lbs \ otes of both of those States have been counted lor Hayes by the Joiut Conven? tion. Utic interpretation of the matter which possesses considerable plausibility is that these things are pan of a plan by which David Dudley Field and Ibs more extreme Tilden managers ho;??* to induce the Iloti.??* at some stage of the ?.?milling, in case the ?'oiinii.s.sioii decides Louisiana to he BBS*Hajos, to ?birlara thai there baa been n?i eb'Ction of President, and ?if one?.' proceed to elect Mr. Tilden. It is cer? tain that a number of influential Democrats here still assert tin? right <>f the House to do this at any stage of the procei-dings. They maintain that this right, being constitutional, cannot be taken away by the Kl.'coral lull. The same class of men talk about lin*-ikinj np the Commission by tbe resigna? tion of the Democratic ssenbsn ami Ibs refusal ?>f the Huii-e to li!l lbs vacancies. Kepublican? are not in tbe least disturbed by these imlicatnins. They tnl con t'nleii t that a large, number of Democrat-? will steadily oppose such measures and defeat th.-t:i by their votes if necessary.
