HOUSE OF DELEGATES.
WEDNESDAY, Dec. 20, lS43

Contested Election from King f. Queen.
The report OF the majority of the COM
mittee, concluding with resolution, that
the contestant, VIM. B. Davis, was en,i-
tied 10 be returned the delegate from
King g. Queen, and should be entitled to
his seat as such, came up as the order Of
the day.
Mr.. M'Rae moved to amend the resolu-
ton, by substituting the report Of the COM
mittee-which found in favor Of the slit
ing member.
1t appears from the reports, that at one
precinct, the Commissioners subducted
two votes from Davis poll--after they
we're recorded; and at another precinct,
erased arother, in ike manner-after
ascertaning that they were bad votes
by recalling and re.examinlng the persons
claiming 10 vote. These three votes sub.
tracteG, gave Lumpkin the minority, and
the Commissioners gave him the return.
Mr.. Davis contested the legality Of this
return, and gave Mr.. Lumpkin notice to
that effect. Mr.. Lumpkin gave a coun-
ter notice to Mr.. Davise, affirming the le-
gaity Of the return, and moreover con-
testing numerous votes recorded for Da.
Wis. The majority report decides that
the Commissioners had no right TO erase
any vote after recorded, and therefore,
that the return was improperly given to
the sitting member. The minority report
contends that the Commissioners, acting
in the capacity of judicial officers, were
fully empowered to strike off any illegal
vote, pending the election, therefore the
return was legal. This report goes far
Their, and admitting tho return to be bad 4,
contends that Lumpkin, having establish.
ed the illegahty Of various votes on Da-
Wis poll, is entitled to the seat, although
the return be bad.
Mr.. Taliaferro supported the report OF
the majority contending generally that
the Commissioners have no authority
whatever to erase any vote, after it is re-
corded. He confined his argument to
the WegaLiy of the return-snd on that
ground soley contended that the contes-
tant was entitled to the seat, until the
merits of the controversy were investigst.
ed, and it was ascertained who had a
majority Of the legal votes.
Mr.. Edging;on took different view
from that of Mr.. Taliaferro. lie contend.
ed that the Commissioners, who were
sworn to certify only the legal votes,
could not fulfil their oath, unless they had
control of the poll, until the election was
closed. IL they had not this authority,
they would have to swear falsely-if at
ter recording a vote, they ascertalned II to
be bad. But apart from this technical
view of the question, Mr.. E. urged that
on the merits, The sitting member was en-.
titled to his seat. He had proven. that
he had majority Of the legal votes
Not only the 3 votes referred TO were
proven to be bad, but 10 others were
/ shown to be bad; or at least the contest.
ing member had not proven them to be
good, and by the law, the failure to prove
them good was tantamount to the admis
sion that they were bad.

10 THE wB.Gs or VIRGINIA.

10 The NblGS Of filtGlAaA
TIE time ofthe Wig State Contention
changed
In compliance with what was under
stood to be the general wish Of the Wing
party 10 Virginia. The undersigned, com
posing The &c raj Wing Committee, 10
the past autumn, recomm n led TO the
Wings in the State, TO appoint dtlega,es
to assemble 10 CONVENTION in the city Of
Richmond, on the 22d day Of February
next, for the purpose OF framing Wing
Electoral Ticket, nominating delegates to
the Baltimore Convention, and consulting
upon any matters involving the interests
of the Wing cause: Accordingly, many
OF the counties and towns in the State
have appointed delegates to the proposed
| Convention.
Since tie meeting OF the Legislature
now IN session, there has been strong
and general expression in that body Of a
desire to bring its labors 10 an early ter
animation. The Wings, as is well known,
are at present minority ~ the Legisa-
iure, and TO them would attach but
small share of the responsibility OF
/ ngthened Sc sion. But they feel no de-
sire f. thwart-on the contrary, they
would by all means in their power, COM
palibIe with the public interests, give
their aid to the minority in attaining an
object which, in Common with them, they
regard Us highly useful and praisewor-
Thy.
| Animated with this sentiment, and DIES
irous to escape even the appearance oil
design to procrast nate the session to as
late period as the 22I Of February, ian
occasion on which, according 10 usage,
| IT vas expected shat The Wing members
would coz ptrate IN convention with the
Delegates s.nt from the People. s1e wings
IN the Legislature have recently adopted
the following Resolution
Resolred, That il is expedient TO hold
Wing State Convention in ihe city OF
Richmond to be composed OF members Of
the Assembly and of special delegates
from the several counties, on Wednesday
slhe 18th day Of February, 1914, instead OF
the 22d o. said month, as heretofore pro-
posed. And that the Central Committee
oil the State, appointed by the last Con.
venton, be respectfully requested to take
early measures for promnlgaling the same
10 the fullest manner TO the people OF the
STATE.
The committee take pleasure IN for
warding the object OF the above resolu.
ton, end they hereby make known 10
their wing brethren throughout the State,
THE FACT THAT THE DAY FOR THE MEET
ING OF THE WING SrATE CONVENTION Is
CHANGED FROM TIE 22D TO THE 7rn DAY
OF FEBRUARY, 1874.
Wings Of Virginia! we earnestly IN
vte numerous attendance o. the Porty
on this interesting occasion. Never were
its prospects more brigh: and cheering
Never were the presages of wing triumph
more distinct and striking. One united
and vigorous effort will ensure success
