JERSEY Elociion.--An Intellectual motiouwa
made tins morning, TO suspend the rules IN or
der TO offer motion to print the journal and
papers connected with the proceedings of the
committee Of elections on the Jersey case.
1t is understood that the committee Of Flee
tions have determined To postpone all further
proceedings in the case until the middle of
Apr !, AMI to allow the commits one1 members
time TO take evidence in \. j. for the purpose
of proving that illegal and fraudulent votes
were given al the election and that the COM
missioned members were, IN fact, elected -
Should this fact come before the house in any
formal way, as it may. II must produce very
excited debate. The committee, it is said,
will not make any report as TO their proceed
ings so far Whatever may be the ultimate
report of the committee, it is certain that New
Jersey will not be represented during this
session. The case may possibly end IN re-
ierrng the election back to the people of n.
Jersey.
