HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

MT. Boyd. introduced and presented the credentials of Mir. Thomas W. Newton, the member from Arkansas, elected in place oI Mr. Yell who IS at the head of regiment of volunteers in Mexico.
 Mr. Jones, of Georgia, objected to the oath being administered, on the ground that there was no evidence before the House of a vacancy having existed in the representation from Arkansas.
 The Speaker said the certificate was in due form, and asked the gentleman to put his objection into suitable form for action
 Nr. Jones moved to refer the certificate of election to the Committee on Elections. He did not know what right the House had to exclude NIT. Yell, to whom the seat be- longed, if he had not resigned 1t. All he wished was that the matter might be in- quired into.
 MT. Dobbin said lhe matter had already been before the Committee on ElectlonS.- The President had sent in message in re- Ialion to members who held commissions in the army, and that as soon as It could be printed, the report of the committee would be made to he House-probably- by Monday next.
 Mir. Jones believed that MT. Tells com- mis- ion in the army did not deprive him of his right to a seat on his floor under his commission as a Representative Of the 18th Congress. He hoped the subject would be referred to the Committee on Elections.
 Mir. Harper presumed the authorities of Arkansas had some knowledge of the sub- ject, and had acted properly in the premises.
 Mr. Gordon said the fact was notorious that NIT. Yell was Colonel in the army in Mexico, and that an election had been held by the people of Arkansas to fill his seat in this House Mir Yell had abdicated his seat. The Administration had large ma- jority in the House aud noting could be lost to il by the admission of Mir. Yeli's success ser, whose politics are Whig. He thought II best, therefore, to le. the member elect take his sea, now, and the committee could report on the subject hereafter at the ear- Hest practicable moment.
 MT. Houston, of Alabama, was of opinion tha, Mir. Yell was entitled to the seat still, if he had not resigned it.
 Mr. Graham said the lac, that a vacancy existed was so we'll known to the Legisla- ture, that that body had passed resolution proclaiming it, and in consequence new election was ordered.
 Mir Woodward, of South Carolina, spoke with ability in behalf of State rights. and the right of the seat belonging to MT. Newton.
 Mir Boyd had offered the credentials of Mir. Newton with pleasure, and believed the authorities of Arkansas were the proper judges of ths question, and they had given him certificate of election.
 Mr. Burt though, i, would be monstrous 10 deprive the new member of his seat.
 Mir Cotterell thought Mir. Yell was still a member, and ths. the subject should be sent ,o the committee.
 Mr Schenck addressed the House in sup port of Mr. tewton's claim 10 the seat.
 Mr. Norris moved the previous question ; and the resolution pending, tha, Mr. Newton should take the seal, was adopted--a few only voting against it.
 The oath was then administered, and Mr. Newton took his seat

At the residence of Joseph Casting, Esq, in this county on the l7th JannTy, i the 4th year of her age, Marg Eilea, infant Daughter of Mai. If. and Sarah A. Haralson. Thus has passed from this world of trouble oneo Of he fzirrst flowers to her Fathers house In Heaven; leaving dsconsolate father and mo her to .bswail Der loss.
 On the lst February, afer short illness. at the residence of her fafher, Cot Michael BUzeman, of Clark county, Ark. Mrs. Naacy P. Ross, wife oi Wm. B. Ross, aged about Ie years.
 The deceased was just arriving al the period ef wonanhoud when the mind becomes developed ; and hope, brightening days to come add charms to life and makes it attractive. She was proving to be all that her warnest friends could wish. It is a common remark, that when persons die their friends forget their faults, and remember only those traits of character that are pleasing and eommendabie. This may be 50 in the present ih- stance but if she had faults, they far ovsf- balanced by qualities of character most highly teemed n social life; and the mind in coniempla- ting her as she was, can but reflect on the amiabe, kind hearted, and intelligent lady who has died among us, regretted and Inourned, deeply moarned, by all who knew her. We are often disposed to murmur at the decrees of Providence. when think they interfere with prosperity convenience, and pleasure; and if in any event such marmurihg could be justified it would seem to be in els case where they have removed from this world one so well it. ted 10 soothe the asperities of life, and make those around her happy. She was meuber ot the Bap- tist Church and when sensible tha she was soon to die, though she wished to live yet she met desth calm and resgned-t had no terre-s to her; and her gentle spirit winged it's way from earth to the re- gons oi eternal bliss. Peace be io her remains.

On the other hand what the condition the democratic

They believe the forced upon their country and
that the duty of the admnstra to prosecute II toa
successful termination, and suitable indemnify in

think proper join the opposition on the Wilmot Pro-

The democratic party can plant themselves on the basis
their principles Swallowed forth in their measures of
national policy, and into the contest with arm bond Of
uaio only fearless the result but sure of the tn
umph their party in the Union, II not in the State
Them men, the democrats have acted prudenty and
wisely by retaining from expression OF opinion In favor
ofany particular man, leaving the selection exclusively to
the decision of national convention BY such course
one will be disageeaby disappointed, let who may be

will thus appear that the democratic party not only

not probable it will be disputed And yet nowithsand

The export of domestic cotton goods from this port for
the month ending October 81 has been follows:


Now here are these ingenious and enterprising Yam.
kee manufacturers (and by the term Yankee mean no

NOUS and cnterprsng people the face Of the earth;
and being So they the last to require any protection
on their abor) sending their fabrics TO every quarter Of
the globe and competing with the British manufacturers
even in the market of Calcutta, in spite OF the derena
duty Of Is per cent against them, which, according to
Mr.. Lawrence, was to exclude them entirely from that
market And behold, too, the encouraging increase Of
this export trade which, according to Mr. Lawrence and
his fellow manufacturers, to be utterly ruined by the
tariff OF 1916 We congratulate the shrewd and enter
prisng manufacturers OF New England on their fortu.
nate escape from the destruction which their federal
cles and leaders predicted would overwhelm them if the
present tariff went into operation. We them that
we sincerely rejoice in their prosperity, and the prospe
ty of all classes under the benecent action of the
system, and trust that may yet receive their
cordial support And do not doubt that the pockets
of Mr. Lawrence contain many substantial in IA
Of the advantages OF the present system that
which it superseded if his head does not We certainly
wish him no worse misfortune than to have the sombre
predictions in his Rves letters 80 happily dsproved by
the testimony of substantial facts
