The seat of the sentative for Pike
and Fulton will be again contested, al
the opening of the next session of the
General Assembly. This happens, we
understand, by the rejection of the votes
taken al the Atlas precinct, by the clerk
OF Pike county, for some alleged illegal
proceedings. The clerk Of Fulton not
agreeing to this exclusion, has given a
certificate of election to Gen. Hansen,
and the clerk of Pike has given another,
on his part, TO Mr.. Shaw.
The seat of the Senator for Pike, Full
ton, Morgan, and Greene, is involved in
this controversy, and the certificate OF
election has been given to Mr.. CarIin.
