and Elections on the letter OF John G.
Cohoon, delegate from NsnsemoDd,
was taken up. The committee report,
tina. in their opinion, the Office of coro
ner is a lucrative one under the 18th
section OF the Conslitulion--and that
an officer conducting the election can
not reform himself-and that Mr.. Go
boon is not entitled to his seat.
Dir. Murdaugh moved to amend the
Is! resolution by inserting that the Of
flee of coroner is not lucrative Office.
The amendment was supported al
some length by Mr.. Murdaugh,
(whose remarks we could not hear J
opposed by MIR. Rives of P g. and
gatived The 1st resolution was
then passed by the House, affirming
The iDeligibiliiy of cor5ners.
On The Cd resolution, Mr.. Miller OF
Pow remarked at some length upon
the importance ofihe resolution, as j,
annulled right of the people to selec,
whom they pleased 10 represent them
He moved TO lay it on the table for the
present, but the motion was ncgatived.
SIR. Murdsugh then moved TO a.
mend The resolution, by declaring that
an officer conducting the election, can
return himself
Mr. Rives Of P. G. opposed the
mendmen,, and read the law upon the
case The inexpediency Of the prin.
ciple was obvious from the reflection.
that each officer had the power of chal-
longing votes. and might exercise it to
his own benefit.
The amendment was negatived, and
the resolutions adopted.

Courts OF Justice on The petition Of the

WAS claimed by the Commonwealth
asking the suspension of execution on
the latter, if judgment should be obtain
