FOREIGN EMIGRATION TO
THE UNITED STATES.

We extract the following from the
Senate's proceedings on the 18th inst.
The information is important, and
should be preserved by every man, as
amatter of reference for time to come:
especially when the subject of "foreign
influence" upon our civil institutions
is brought before the people for discus
sion, The following is the answer TO
MIR. Johnson's resolution upon that
subject:
A communication from the Depart
ment of State, in answer to the Sem
ate resolution of the 23d ultimo, TMr.
JoHNsoN's,l calling for all information
in possession ofthe department on the
subject of immigrants to this country,
and foreign paupers and criminals,se
here by other governments.
The answer Of the State Department
is, in substance, that the only docu-

mia, for six years from the 4th of March
next. The democracy in the Penn
sylvania Legislature was beset with art
full intriguers, by whom we feared it
might be divided, and the honest and
faithful representative of the Keystone
State sacrificed to treachery. TIKI

vote, DIR. Sturgeon received 70 vNes;
Cooper (whig) 40; scattering 10. For
the most part, the latter were natives.
Probably there was but one :ederalkt

HOUSE OF DELEGATES.
THURSDAY, JANUARY I6.
Reports from Committees were made.

Reports from Committees were made.
Mr.. Broadus of Culpeper, offered resoll.
ton that the House will, with the concurrence
Of the Senate, proceed on Wednesday, the 22nd
inst, to the election of a Senator of the U
States, to succeed Mr.. Rives.
Mr.. Leake moved to lay the resolution on
the table.
Mr.. Broadus hoped the House would not lay
the resolution on the table, unless some reason
be given for it. fit Were the intention of the
Legislature to make an election this winter
1t was high time that some initatory step had
been taken.
Mr.. Leake said the House had more business
on hand, than it could dicpatch by the 22nd
and it was not expected that the Legislature
would adjourn about the 22nd; and therefore,
there was no occasion for haste-besides, sew
eral gentlemen were absent, and they might not
be present on that day.
MIR. Broadus was not satisfied with the rea-
sons given for delay. BY adopting this resolu-
ton, timely notice would be given to those who
are absent, to be in their places. Mr.. b. dis
approved of the practice of postponing all i'm
portant business to the very close Of the session
Now was the accepted time The people ex-
pected action, and for one, he would carry out
their wishes.
Mr. Goodson would give one reason for
delay. The Wings had meeting last night,
and had concerted their action; and the Dem>
ocrats would meet to night, and be ready for
a fair fight tomorrow.
Mr.. Daniel of P. G.. suggested that there
were two contested elections undecided, and
II was not usual to 60 into important elections
while such was the case. He referred to the

panv. with amendments: one of which requires

HOUSE OF DELEGATES.
MONDAY, JANUARY Is,


Reports from the various standing Commit
tees were made: aa
Resolutions were presented:
By Mr. Farley, That the Committee of
Courts enquire into the expediency of providing
by law, that Constables' receipts shall not be
valid, or binding on their securities after the
expiration of three years from the dates Of such
receipts.
By Mr.. Freeman, That the Committee on
Finance enquire into the expediency of SO amen
ding the law in relation to taking the lists OF
the taxable property of this Commonwealth, as
to authorize persons to qualify to their lists Ell
Their before the Commissioner of the Revenue,
or single Justice.
Petitions were presented:
By Mr.. w. F. Turner, of citizens OF Jeffer-
son, asking grant to the Baltimore u Ohio
Rail Road, Of the right of way to some suitable
point on the Ohio.
By Mr. Hays, of citizens Of Lewis, in rela-
ton to new county of parts OF Lewis, Harrl-
son, Barbour and Randolph.
The report in the case of the Bath contested
election was taken up.
Mr.. Stovall moved to reverse the 18th Res
olution, which declares the vote of VIM J.
Jewell to be illegal.
Jewell was ouse-keeper and head of a
family and had been assessed with a part of the
revenue, for the payment Of which ne made an
arrangement with certain Lewis Payne before
the election--that he supposed said Payne had
paid the amount to the Sheriff, and as well as
he recollects, an interview upon the subject took
place between himself, said Payne and the Dep
uty Sheriff before the election. when the Dep
uty Sheriff agreed to look to said Payne for the
amount due-and that about two months ago
{the 18th August, l844) said Payne informed
him that he had paid his taxes
Mr. Stovall and Mr.. Leake contended that
this arrangement was such an ssactual pay
mentv as was required by the Constitution.
Mr.. Strother and Mr.. Witcher contended that
if this were payment, the provision OF the
Constitution was mere nulllty.
Mr.. Taylor of F. called for the previous
question that every member had
made up his mid on this question.
The motion to reverse was rejected-ayes
40, noes-z3.
The 18th resolution was then agreed to.
A message was received from the Senate
by Mr. Stanard, that the Senate had passed
the bill to pay the interest on TIE bonds Of the
James River Company guaranteed by the
State.
Mr.. Stovall moved to reverse the 18th reso-
lution Of the Commttee-which declares the
vote Of Hugh Mclaughlin to be legal.
Mr. mclaughlin married the widow Of
Otho Gum, who was entitled to life to largely
over 100 acres of land lying in Bath, werth
from 81 900 to $500, which was devised to
her BY her late husband, in the following
clause Of his will: ssAfter nv funeral expenses
and just debts be paid, | give to my beloved

quitable title for six months.

quitable title for six months.
MIR Strother justified the decision Of the COM
mittee, contending that McGuffin had only a
future right in the land, and could net demand
the execution Of the deed before the LIST -Jan'y
lS44-too late a day to bestow vote at the
succeeding April.
Mr.. Witcher admitted that this is one Of those
cases about which men, minds may differ. He
did not doubt but that an equitable title for six
months gives the right to vote hut in this case,
the question is whether McGtiin had any title
before the lst Of Jan'y 1884, From the .esti
mony, Mr.. w. did not believe he had any Ii
tie before that time, and consequently. he was
not a legal voter
Mr.. Leake and Mr.. Bowden defended the
legality Of the vote.
Mr.. Fulton of W., Mr.. Edlnands of H., ant
Mr.. Lee maintained its illegally.
The motion to reverse was decided in thu
negative; yeas 81, noes 67.
The 10th Resolution was then agreed to.
Mr.. Banks moved TO reverse the 18th Reso
luton, declaring the vote Of Thomas Smith il
legal
The contestant objected that said Smith wa
not 81 years of age; and no testimony was ad
dueed to remove the objection, and prove tina
the voter was of legal age.
1t was contended by Messrs. Banks, Davi
of O. and g. and others that il was incum5en
on the contestant to make good his objection
and not on the setting member to rebut it.
Mr. Garrett, Mr.. Broadus of Caroline, ant
others took the opposite ground, and contendet
that the principle asserted by the gentleman
from Green, was in the teeth of the leading
principles Of evidence. 1t would require thu
Contestant to prove negative.
The motion to reverse was rejected: ayes 81
noes II.
The llth Resolution was then agreed to.
1t being after O'Clock, on motion Of Mr.
Witcher the House adjourned.

The question inccntroversy was, whether
McGlaughlin's wife, under this will took allfe-
estate.
The motion to reverse was rejected, by ayes
and noes: ayes %, noes So.
The 18th resolution was then agreed to-
Mr.. Banks moved to reverse the 10th resotu-
ton OF the Committee which declares the vote
Ct Benz. Bird TO be legal
After some remarks by Messrs. Blick, oso-
vail and Witcher, Mr. Banks Withdrew his
motion, and the resolution was agreed to.
Mr. Stovall moved to reverse The 2Uth res
olution, which declares the vote Of Geo. ii.
benson legal.
benson claimed to vote upon title-bond ia
ted Goth April, lS43, for 200 acres Of land for
which he had paid the purchase money before
! the election and had had possession or 5
years.
/ Mr. Stoyall contended that, it not being
proven that the purchase money was not paid
| more than six months before the election, the
vote was bad. Mr. Leake, and some others.
took the same views.
Mr.. Witcher, and Mr. Strother, denied that
the payment of the purchase money before the
election, was necessary to good vote-all that
was requisite, was for the voter to have such
title for six months, as he could enforce in a
court of equity.
The motion to reverse, was taken by ayes

CONGRESS-.

The Senate.-The reporters of the
Globe Inexperienced the import ofthe
remarke ofMr. Archer yesterday touch
ingthe pending negotiation on the Ore
on question. He was understood by
the reporter to have said, "that, IN a
few days, the result of the attempted
negotiation on the part of the English
government and the United States"
concerning that question, would be
transmitted to the,Senate. The phras-
eology attributed by the reporters to
that senator misled the editor of the
Globe, whe commented at some length
npon so improbable aresult tot the nego-
tiation as the language imputed tothat
senator, if true, would have implied.
The senator from Virginia did not m
tend to have been understood as indi-
eating by his language anything as of
the character of the result OF that nego7
tiation. Mr.. Allen alluded also to
some inaccuracies in the report OF his
remark, which he rightiully attributed
to the difficulty of being heard BY do
reporters, in consequence of the unf
vorable position in which they are plsl
ced.
The Senate, to-day, passed the bill
from the House establishing uniform
time for holding the election for cleo
tors of President and Vice President
in all the states in the Union. The bill
was amended by the Senate, fixing
Tuesday next after the first Monday OF
of November as the day on which to
hold the election. Several other bills
of less importance were passed. The
postage bill was made the order of
the day on Monday next. The Sen
ate, after spending some time in the
consideration of executive business,
adjourned over till Monday next, to
enable the committees TO attend TO the
business before them
The first business in the House, this
morning, was an introduction of a res
olution by Mr. Preston King for the APP
pointment of select committee to ex-
anime and report whether any, and if
any, which of its members have been
engaged in fighting duel on account
of words spoken in debate, and giving
to said committee the powerto send for
persons and papers; also second res
olution, that if it should appear to said
committee that any members of the
House have been engaged in fighting
a duel on account Of words spoken in
debate on the floor ofthe House, then
instructing said committee to reportthe
facts, with resolution to expel any
member or members guilty of such
crime. After an Intellectual motion to
lay this resolution on the table, de-

Payne, Causin, and Mcdowell took
part; after which, thsy were LAID
