A Sharp ContesL-The .en, oc M,

A Sharp Contest.-The seat of Mr..
Whiting, Member of the Virginia House
of Delegates, from Henrico county, was
contested by John M. Bolts, the former
member After tedious and careful scru-
tuy, the Committee on Elections have deci-
ded that there appeared TO be tie between
the gentlemen, after suLracting all the ille-
gal votes. Now the Constitution of Virgin
la directs that in all cases of II tie the Sher-
if shall give the casting vote. The Sheriff
was now summoned, aud declared that he
should have voted for Bolts had the case
been presented to him. Mr. Whiting de-
INJURED to the efficacy of this decision that
the Sheriff was no freeholder, and therefore
could not give n vote. The House, how
ever, decided that The Sheriff in such case
acts rs high Judicial arbier and not as IL
mere rIecior, and on the strength of his de-
claratiOn have awarded the seat To Mr..
Bolts. II reflects credit on the House that
this decision is made by body friendly to
the National Administration, against one of
their own faith, and in ia, or of notorious
leader of the Opposition. This is at least
the second time that Mr.. Bolts has been
thrown out by illegal votes but admitted by
the House on the scrutiny of the poll lists.

cause il has been recommended BY the
PRESIDENT, and was favored by most of the
friends of the administration. IL was, they
said, almost as bad MS the Sub b-Treasury
scheme, and moreover was intended to ac-
c"h'''"onte poor uien, and thereby create
oui"us distinctions. After all these de-
h"nciatiohs, II so happens that Mr.. Web
sfer, who has travelled through the western
country, and seen how Things actually are
'here, has become satisfied that the meas
ure Is good one, well adapted to the exis-
tihg state OF the country, and he has not ON.

It's passage, but actually made speecb il,
the Senate to help it along. The wbies
are astounded, dumb foundered. The,
were to have had a comfortable little manic
out OF 1t, and resolutions had been prepar
ed to be fired off by the different whig Con.
ventions, ut this destructive, "Ioco foco"
scheme, rs they called il. But since Mr..
Webster has supported it, they nre chang
ing their opinion, and now beeis to think.
upon the whole, that 1t is about right. But
by the time they reach this Conclusion, they
are infurmed that Mr.. Clay opposed the
bill, violently opposed it. and was rather
sarcastic on the "great expounder Of the
Constitution" because he would not op-
pose it also. This puts the wings tn hum
ming and haw-ing again, till they finally
conclude that both their leaders are right.
That the bill is both good and bad at the
same time. But then they are dreadfully
disappointed in losing their panic.

Al aJaek.-We have never seen the
wings in a greater quandary. than they now
are st the passage of what is called the
Pre-emp,ion Law ,hroush the Senate. This
bill gives a preference, IN the sales OF the
public lands, to persons who are actual set
tiers, and have made improvements, rather
than to the large speculstors, who buy to
sell again. I, was denounced by the whe

Worthy of Notice.-Amoug others Of the
same sort, ihe following resolution was
lately adopted at meeting of democratic
republicans in Manchester, Hartford coun-
ty, and the sentiment is well worthy of no.
tce.
Resolved, That great cities nre great
sores on the body polite, asd their conia-
gious influence must he avoided both in
politics and morals: they wish 10 legisa,e
for the nristocracy, but democrats wish to
legislate for all"
This sentiment is both old and true. Mr..
jefferson plainly saw the malign influence
of large cities on our republican Institutions
and he forewarned his coun,rymen to be
on their guard; and every days experience
confirms the wisdom of his admonition. He
also expressed nm opinion, that if in mod
ern times the Lord had a chosen people,
they were the farmers and other working
classes. Every body knows that all France
is governed by Paris, and that all England
is governed by LONDON. What a lesson
We too, have great cities in our own conn.
try, (and they have their advantages)-bu
it betooves the mass of the people to see
that they exert ohly their due influence, and
that they never get to be dictators. When
this comes to be The case, good bye 10 e.
quail and exact justice-good bys to all
further attempts Mt self government.

The question of the election of Prentiss
and Word, of Mississippi, has been decided
in the House If Representatives, and those
gentlemen have been sent back to their con-
s,ituen,s. After the reversal of the decision
which The House had previously rendered in
favor of the claim Of Messrs. Clairborne and
Ghulson, no other mode Of proceeding was
left by which The shadow ofjnstice could be
done either to these latter gentlemen or the
people of Mississippi
The vote in the House was liz to III,
and the Speaker gave the casting vote a
gsinst the claim of Prentiss and Word
The House, however, was not full. -Four
democratic members, Kilgrove, Hamcr,
Snyder and Ripley, who would have voted
against the claim of Prsntiss aud Word,
were absent. Mr.. Mercer. whig, was not
within the bar whea the question was put,
and was therefore excluded from voting, but
his vote, says the National lniell'eencer,
" would not have affected the decision" from
xb;eb we infer ihs, he would have voted IN
the same manner with the Speaker.

protested in this bank Commonwealth foI
9IO.O 900 at a ,ime."
This assertion 10 q newspaper, Mr.. WEI
srER undertook to deny, with all possibI.
soIemniiy, in his place, as a SeHstor. He
says:
al do not recolleci, or believe, that any
note signed by me. or any bIll accepted by
me, OF by any agent or clerk of mine in nay
behalf, iods susr proh sted at that bank, o.
delayed in payment"
This was taken tn be an explicit denial
IN reply to il. we produced the recorded
fact. That fact was, that December 1, IS-
SO, DANIEL WEBSTER drew bill at Wash.
ington, on DAVID WEBsTEs Of Portland
for $4,000, nj six months. June IA.
1887, this draft was protested at the Com
monweal,h Bank, for oon-payment.
Mr.. WEBSTER now says he never owed
the bank. That is immateflal, whether j,
were so or not but he owed at the bank
this protested bill, aud this was shaving his
bills protested in this bank for $4,000 at n
time" precisely ns We affirmed.
The nature Of the transaction was also
such as to make it directly the debt Of MIR.
WEBSTER. Ne had drawn il where he had
no funds. and no right TO draw, and was
thus legally held as the original promisor,
without being entitled to notice. This is
shown by the letter Of the acceptor, DAVID
WEBSTER, who, MAY 20, 1887, informed
the bank on notice of the bill falling due,
that 81 gave it eEpressly for the aeeommoda-
tion of DANisL WEBSTER, and have his
promise that should not be troubled as TO
to the payment Of it,"
Mr.. WRBsrkR NOW affirms that tile n
mount Of this transaction is, that a bill
drawn by him and sent TO this bank, WAS
not duly paid by the acceptot, but was, of
course, returned upon the drawer, and duly
paid by him, on .he acceptor's nesleet.-
This is manifestlv unjust attempt of the
Senator to relieve himself Mt the expense Of
the credit off namesake, who never prom
ised to pay this bill, but accepted it without
funds, for the drawers accommodation,
whose business it was TO have taken it up
at maturity. The facts as to the other two
protested drafts, remain rs VIC stated them.
Our only object is to establish to the let
ter the truth Of the assertions In the Globe
respecting these transactions. We have
clearly done So, and exhibited the Senator,
by his own il-advis-d evasions, in n worse
position than we had originally any inten-
ton of doing. The charge Of " misrepre-
scnta,on and sheer falsehood," in this mat
ter, will sttach only where it belenes-tt
its author; the design of whose first denia
evidently was to make the public believ.
that no bill or note of his was etef protest
ed in the Commonwealth Bank.

The MAns.-The irregularity with which
the mails from New York, are received here
by the steamboats,, is cause of great incon.
venience and complaint to our citizens. For
some time past the boats have seldom
brought mails, although they have, almost
invariably, left New York for this place and
Providence on days previously advertised.
On Saturdays boat has left New York reg
ularly for four or FIVE weeks past, yet we
have received but one mail BY II, during
that time. When the boat does not bring
n mail on Saturday, the New York Morn.
ing and Evening papers of TINT day, aud
also the letter mnils, which are frequently
Of more consequence, are not received here
until Monday afternoon - delay Of thirty
six hours, after we might md ought to re.
ceive then--a fact which 10 rather provok.
ing.
On other days than Saturday the New
York evening papers and the letters then
mailed, il not brought by the steamboats,,
are not received until after an equal lapse
Of time.
We would cnll the attention Of the Post
Master in New York city, to this grievance,
with the full assurance that. so far rs it de-
pends upon him, we shall not have cause
to renew our complaint.
The LADy's BooK.-We have to acknowl-
edge the receipt of the January aud Febru-
ary numbers Of the Lady's Book, from the
enterprising publisher, Mr.. l.. A. Godey,'of
Philadelphia. The work is this year pub
fishing under the combined editorial man
ngemen, of Mrs. S. }. HALE and Miss LES
LIE; whose names are alone n sufficient
guarantee for its excellence, If no other
claims were adduccd but a reference to
an advertisement Of the work, in our col
umns, will show that among its contribu-
tors the names of many Of the most popu-
nr writers in the country are enrolled;
and the pages Of the work bear witness that
that enrolment is not vain aud empty
boast. Plates of the fashions prevailing in
Philadelphia, handsomely colored, are in
ench Of the numbers before US, and form, we
presume, leading feature Of interest to the
ladies. Each number during the year is
to contain similar plate, depicting the fe-
male form in the fashionable attire which
prevails in the city of bro,herly lo.e' at the
time Of its publication.
We should recommend the Lady's Book
as suitable, useful and very acceptable
present to almost any young lady, and one
which, by its periodical appearance, would
be constand reminder of the donor.
