The House Of Delegates had another long and
animated session yesterday. They went through
the Report on The Frederick contested election
case and cave The seat OF Mr.. Gather to our friend
Carson, By The handsome majority Of 80. The
poll OF Frederick county, as expurga'ed by the
House, stands, John F. Wall, 1863; James II.
Carson. FOL: James Gather, 13l; Jonathan L0-
ve,t, 72I. We congratulate Mr.. Carson on hav-
ing 50 successfully vindicated his rights and those
OF his people, and on having settled many princi-
ples OF the elective franchise which have long
been source OF contention in Frederick. The
session is so near lis end that he will not be able
10 make very p, oflabl< business oft, Qhe "slar-
walton law" begins TO run lo-moHow.) He will
have it in his power next winter, we doubt not
10 prove himself valuable and faithful Repre-
sentative.
We here lake occasion 10 do justice 10 The in
dus,ry and ability Of The Committee on Elections
in the management of the contested election
Abou, 800 votes were in dispute, and the Com
n,tee's Report consists OF SO closely printed pa
oes-yet the House reversed their decision, as 10
one vote alone. owe may hereafter notice the
principles seilled)
The bill 10 provide for the revision Of the Cr-
mnal Code was reported from The Senate with
an amendment repeating The starvation Law. !"
Upon this question much discussion look place !:
after which, The bill and amendment were laid
upon the table.
The rest OF the day was occupied in the
discussion OF motion of Mr. Miller 10 re-
consider The vote of The House on Saturday,
indefinitely puslponins the bill for The e1-
tension Of The James River and Kanawha Ca.
nal 10 Buchanan. &c Near P. NJ, the vote
upon the reconsideration was taken, and was
announced as having been carried, GO TO 81. But
The poin, was raised, that in the absence Of MI
Syme OF Petersburg, some one had voted for
him in the affirmative, and that this vote should
be stricken off, leaving il a lie, equivalent 10 a
defeat Of The molten. On Mr.. SIS coming in az
forwards, and stating that he should have voted
in the affirmative 10 allow the friends of the bill
10 peIfec, il, and the absences being allowed 10
record their votes, the reconsideration was an
nounced as carried, G5 10 63. The question re-
curing upon the indefinite pusponement OF The
bill, the motion was LOST, 81 10 SIS. The bill was,
then, on motion Of Mr.. Lyons, committed 10
| select committee Of Is. The vote on The indefi
ne poslponement is not regarded as test Vote
as several gentlemen who voted against the mo-
ton explained that they did not thereby pledge
themselves 10 sustain The bill.
The voting on the reconsideration was SO close,

blusier and threats Of The destruction Of our sea-
board cities; and these had heretofore always
carried TOO much weight for our interests or ma
,ona honor. In the course Of this speech, which
YOU will perceive takes wide range, he brought
The Ashbnrton treaty under review, and tore II
literally 10 shreds. This is the ab!est effort Mr.
Allen has ever made in Congress; an effort TAX
ing the broad and truly American ground which
time will force upon all men Of all parties, who
really love the institutions Of America. From
the peculiar topics approached, j, will attract
more attention across the Atlantic than any
speech ever before made in the American Con-
gress. He concludes tomorrow.
MIR. Mangum interrupted him with question
which was very properly answered. The former
wished Mr. A. 10 say, whether he did or did not
know, that in lie suppressed portion Of the col
respondence lately presented 10 Congress, Mir.
McLanc had stated, that Lord Aberdeen had as
sured him that England lc0uId not take oftncc al
The notire. Mr. Allen, in reply said that as Mr..
M. knew as well, il not much better, Than him
self what the views OF Britain upon the sub
ject, he would decline submitting himself 10 be
catechised.
Four days ago, Wing Senator stated, but no,
in the Senate, that such assurances mad been 81
