II. s. SENATOR.

Yesterday, new and most interesting
scene was presented iii the Legislature of
Virginia.
The two Houses proceeded to execute
the Order of the Day, by electing by jolRt
ballot, Senator of the u. 8. to supply the
vacancy occasioned by the withdraw val Of
Mr.. Eppcs.
Mr.. Jlmes Peasants, Col John Mercer,
(of Fredericksburg, son of the celebrated
Gen. Mercer,) and Gen. Armistead L.
Mason. (of Lpudoun, a son Of Gen. Ste
phen Thompson Mason,) were put in ncm-
nation.
The result of the first ballot stood
thus
Mercer 70, Mason 81. Peasants SO =
Mr.. p. being Withdrawn from tine I'd bal
lot, the contest lay between Mercer ana
Mason. The G ommittee on the part of
the II. of ID. to count the votes. reported to
that House that the ballots stood thus
Mason SO, Mercer IS, and a blank ballot
II this ballot were counted, Mason had
not majority Of the whole-f it were ex-
Guided, Mason was Of course elected.
The Speaker of the ri. of ID. decided
that as by the Yin rule of the House, ev, ~
member who was in must vote on tie ques-
ton one way or the other, it was imcompe-
tent in any one to put in blank ballot, and
therefore that the man, who had put in
this ballot, must be counted as a voter
lie therefore decide that Gen. Mason was
not elected-An appeal being taken from
the decision Of the Chair, the House confr-
med the decision with very slight opposi-
ton.
The House proceeded therefore to take
a new balot-and the committee retired
with the ballot-boxes.
IN the mean time, a new scene had ia
ken placein the Senate. The committee had
reported the result of the ID ballot, and the
Speaker was about to announce that Ma
son was elected-when a motion was made
to come to the following Resolution
ReSoiUsd, That the House Of Delegates
having declared the execution Of the joint
order Of the two Houses, for the election
Of the Senator Of the United States, incom-
plete, this House will again proceed to ex-
scute that order.
This motion was opposed on the ground
that the order Of the day had been exscu-
tcd--On division, this resolution miscar-
riod, there being for i, and against it.
\ further motion was subsequently,
made TO suspend the 9TH Rule of the
House, which forbids the same question
being brought twice into discussion-which
motion prevailed.
The following Resolution vas then sub.
mi.tcd:

coed farther % execute the Joint order Of

Guilty was then started, that as the II. OF

to inform them by Message that the Sen
ate were ready to proceed to execute the

At the request Of the Speaker, this for
mality was waived-thc ballots were taken,
and the Committee retired.
After some time they returned into the
Senate, and reported that the ballots stood
