The Congressional Election still at sea!
The Fredericksburg Arena of Friday last states, that
"lhe Sheriifs, at their meeting. on Monday last, were
unanimous in The opinion, that the election in Green
was not conducted in n manner conformable TO Law,
and that the polls of that county could not be received.
We understand they decided on laying a special state.

Gil. The Sheriffs adjourned to meet again on Monday
next. Surprising the vote Of Green TO be counted,
Colonel Banks majority is FOURTEEN in the District
In Justice TO Mr.. Slaughter and his friends, we deem
it proper TO say, that, in the event Of his getting The
return under such circumstances, he VIII, immediately
upon qualifying, resign his Sc at, and take The chances
of n new election. lie has no disposition TO withhold
the return from Col Banks, but has not, in fact, any
control over the matter. The whole affair is in the
hands Of the Sherifs, who are bound 10 net according
10 law, regardless of the wishes OF the Candidates
We understand, that no sort OF statement has been re-
ceived by the Executive; nor do we very well see, what
they have TO do with il, in making any such DECISION
The wonder is, in fact, how the sherlit' can hesitate one
moment, in giving the return TO MIR. Banks, IL IS said,
that the want of form consists in the commissioners not
being ssworn-Ought this to vitia,e the eleclion'-We
should think, that the Il. of r. will grant the seat to MIR.
Banks, whether Mr.. Slaughter resigns it, or not.

borne 1926, and Davis 9,4i0.-Words majority over
Claiborne 799-Eight counties remain to be heard from,
viz: Chickasaw. Hancock, ltawamba, Lauderdale, Pono-
Ia, Tunica, Tallahatclie and Wayne. OF these, Ponola
is said 10 have given a small majority for Prentlss, DC,
and Wayne, a small majority for Claiborne, &c. The
Sentinel slip says, that Tie official return Of wilkinson
shows an increase of 100 for Prentiss, &c. In which
case, Words present majority would be about 00O.-ltis
belle we'd, that Prentiss is elected; and that there will be
a close race between Claiborne and Word.

ranpement was also made with the Detroit Banks to OBJ
tain a million of specie from New York TO sustain the

The Pennsylvania of Friday last states, that the
Philadelphia Banks have actually begun 10 pay out sums
under a dollar in specie, and we learn that al a meeting
of the delegates Of the different banks held on Wednes'
day evening, a resolution was submitted by Mr.. Lewis,
the Cashier Of the Girard Bank: ~pledging The ihiladel,
phia institutions to a resumption in full on The lst Of
January next, not precluding an earlier resumption
should that be deemed advisable. The resolution was
not adopted, but it is said that the disposition was favor
able. Another meeting Of the delegates takes place IN
a few days, and we trust that then il will be fully consi'
dered, whethe Philadelphia gains in any way BY Tagging
so far behind other cities, in the important matter Of inc
resumption, so strongly demanded BY public opinion.
We congratulate our Compa,riot, Mr.. Baines, on his
Temperament in the Editorial field. We received on FRI
day last the first number of his American Constellation

ring the period that Congress and The State Legislature
are both in session, and tcice Il neck the remainder OF
the year, at s. per annum-very cheap-and there Is
no necessity for our adding, that it is a very able and
spirited Journal. We differ on one question only-.we
agree with him nearly the whole breadth OF the horror"
He has already "done the State some service he has
it in his power to serve her still more-and we trust, he
will receive, as he deserves, the generous support OF a
free people.
