FROM the Aierandria Gazette of SATURDAY,.
Yesterday most exciting and even
disg-aceful scene occurred i'm the House
OF Representatives. The House was in
Committee of the whole. Mr.. Howard
OF Md. in the chair, when Mr.. Turney
OF Tennessee concluded his speech on
the Indian Appropriation Bill, which
speech had been wanton, continued
and personal attack upon MIR. Bell OF
Tennessee, for his course. Mr.. BelI
took the floor in reply. and commenced
severe reJoinder, asserting that Mr..
Iurney was the mere tool of others in
making this attack. MIR. Turney. Sit
ting directly in front of Mr.. Bell. rose
from his seat, and looking Mr.. B. in the
face said-"It is false "-wherennon
MIR. Bell struck Mr.. Turney, and blows
passed between them both The House
was Immediately in great confusion, and
the Speaker resumed the Chair, the COM
batants having been parted. Mr.. Mer-
Ger made an attempt to have a resolu-
ton passed requiring them not to pro-
coed further in the mstter-but the res,
olution was not carried. The House
then ordered by large majority, that
both gentlemen should apollo gise to the
House for their conduct, which thew
did, without, however, any apology to
themselves. and the House again went
into Committee. and Mr.. Bell resumed
and concluded his speech without fur
Their disorder.

w..
A novel question, and one of somewhat
difficult solution, has arisen from the
resignation by Col. Mallory of his seat
in the senate.
The case is this: Col. Mallory received
a majority of the votes at the polls, was
declared duly elected, and received a
certificate of election from the copstitu.
ted officer. He understood that his com.
pstitor intended to contest his election,
and.appeal from the decision of the PEG.
pie to the Senate. Though convinced
of the validity ofh election, yet desi.
rous to avoid the disagreeable circum.
stances invariably attending contested e.
lection, g. anxious above all things, that
the people should be represented by the
man they preferred, (Which might not be
the case if "checkmating'' Senate were
to decide,) he determined. as soon as he
heard of the intention Of his competitor,
to resign his seat. aud refer the matter
back to the people-the rightful jud ses.
He accordingly sent his resignation to
the Governor.
DR.. Scott, Col. Ms opponent, as soon
as the resignation was announced, not
being very DESTROYS, we suppose, to try
his hand again before the people, wrote
to the Executive, we learn, to prevent
the issue OF a new writ Of election. He
stated that he had given notice of his in.
tention to contest Col. Ms election
that there was no vacancy which, under
the Constitution, warranted a new writ
that he claimed the seat, and that the
Senate alone had the right of deciding.
This claim on the part of DR.. Scott,
denying the right of Col. Al. to resign,
raised question which has never before
been presented to the Executive. The
law is plain, that in every case of va.
cancy. new writ shall be issued but
here it is commended there is no vacancy
that one or the other of the candidates
is elected, and it is for the Senate to say
which.
The Governor, we understand, has had
the matter under consideration, and see.
ing the novelty of the question, has con-
suited the Attorney General. That Off
Ger we learn, 1--WE have had no CONVEX.
sation with him on the subject, } inclines
to the opinion that DO vacancy has oc>
Cured to authorize new writ-that
Col. Ms election was not perfected I'M
til after the expiration Of the time al.
lowed by law ioI giving notice of con.
test, and that consequently no new writ
can issue.
II this decision be correct, and we suppose
1t Is, Col. Ms resignation wa OF course null
and void, and he can claim and take his seat.
But as the time has already elapsed when
be could give his opponent notice of the
votes he would challenge as bad, and he must
accordingly come before. the Senate in the
contest under every disadvantage, that body
will, without hesitation, send the election
back TO the district, as that is clearly tb.
only means to prevent the people being chou
sed oui of their rights, and having o man 10
represent them for whom they have not
given their suffrages. Wh;g.
