We understand that Mr.. Conner. the Wing
Senator elect from the counties of Hamilton and
Boone, has received notice that his claim to a seat
in the Senate will be contested. on the ground of
illegal proceedings in the election in one of the
townships Of Boe ne county. The alledged ille-
gallty consists in the fac, that the election was
not held at the usu;I place of voting and that the
change was made without authority of law. Y es-
to-day was the day for taking dispositions, &c.
