Contested Election from PHILADELPHIA.

Contested Election from philadelphia.
One of the most extraordinary docu.
ments we have ever seen is Proclama-
ton, issued on Monday ,dst, by the Govern
or of the State Of Pennsylvania, declaring
{. j. lngcrsoll, to have been elected (at
the election held moro than year ago.
one Of the Representative from that State
III Congress. The feature of it which IS
in our eyes 50 extraordinary is not the de-
cision OF the Governor in favor Of Mr.. In
gersoll's right, but the fact of this procla-
nation being issued in the teeth Of the pro-
clamation issued by the former Governor
of that State, announcing the election Of
Mr.. Naylor from the same district; pro-
clamaton certainly excluding the effect Of
any posterior proclamation, and especially
Of a proclamation issued by a Governor
who had no official existence at the time
Of the occurrence, which he assumes to
proclaim
With the proclamation Of the Govern
or of Pennsy lyania, Just granted to Charles
j. lngersoll, we have nothing to DO. We
do not comprehend the propucty q such
document, nor do We see what legal call
there was for making such declaration.
The law says-act Of 9th June, 1872
that the Judges OF the election shall, within
twenty days, transmit to each Of the per-
sons elected, a certificate Of his election;
and, within twenty DAYS after the election,
certified copies shall be delivered to the
Secretary of the Commonwealth; and it
shall be the duty Of the Governor, ON

papers, that the clergy Of Richmond have
united m an address to the people of the
state, in which they urge upon the Cit.

of setting apart day, to be observed as a
!" Day Of Thanksgiving to Almighty God,

18th December tor that purpose. We
have long wished 10 see this good old New
England custom obtain in the Southern

may be carried out by other States, that

all secular affairs should be suspended, and
