The Pennsylvania Contested Election.

Mr.. Chandler, on Saturday, presented, in the
House of Representatives, the memorial of John
5. Littell (Whig,) claiming the seat now occupied
by John Robbins, jr. Oemocrat.) Mr.. Littell as
sers that the true vote in the fourth district was,
for Littell 6,31s, for Robbins $3.50, majority for
Littell 49, The officers conducting the election,
however, in the 'sdstrct of PENN fraudulentlv
returned 1901 votes, of which they declared 92l
were for John Robbins, jr., and ITO for John S.
Littell; whereas, in TRUTH the vote was 4S7 for
Robbins and 237 for Littell; "thus claiming, in
said district of Penn, a majority for Mr. Robbins
greater than the achole nuanber of uotes polled in
sad district for both The candidates together bq
tacenty-seuen."
tits we'll known that in this election the most
extraordinary frauds were practised, and of such
notorious enormty that some of the guilty parties
have suffered legal penalties for their misconduct
Mr.. Robbins taken from Mr. Cobb's vote. and
Mr.. Litteil added to Mr. Winthrop's, would have
defeated the election of the former as Speaker.

SMALL NOTES,

1t will be seen from the proceedings of the
House of Delegates, yesterday, that report of the
committee on Banks, declaring it inexpedient to
authorize the Banks to issue small notes, was re-
versed by the decisive vote of SO to At. Mr. Car
roll OF Grayson, Mr.. Morris of Cabell and Wayne,
Mr.. Claiborne of Franklin and other Democratic
members, proved themselves the warm advocates
OF change of the present absurd law on the sub
Ject Five members of the majority, in favour of
small notes, voted for a proposition introduced by
Mr.. Conway, prescribing as condition of granting
the authority to issue small notes. that each Bank
and its branches shall be constrained to redeem
the notes of each other at all their respective
counters; provision which would be fatal to the
proposed measure; for, with our peculiar system of
numerous branch banks, it would be utterly i'm
possible for any one of the mother banks in Rich
mond, or Norfolk, or Staunton, to cash the notes
which Northern brokers might at any time collect
and present in mass for payment. 1t would be far
better for the mother banks, if their interests alone
were in question, and far better for the communi-
ties amongst which they are situated, that they
should have no branches Then each could req
Oily redeem all its own circulation which, with pro-
per management, would soon command premium
in the Northern market as we'll as our own. But
If we adhere to the plan of having branches at all
the villages of the INTERIOR is manifesty imprac-
ticable to carry Mr.. Conway's proposition into eff
feet. Its adoption by the House, in connection
with bill to authorize small notes, would only be
tantamount to direct refusal to give the authority
and that is what majority of the people, it is per-
fectly known, would loudly condemn.
The effect OF the vote yesterday is to instruct
the committee on banks to report bill authorizing
the banks of the State to issue notes of less de-
nomination than five dollars. The bill will, of
course, be open to amendment, and may be scotch
ed in that manner. But we hope the distinct
voting OF yesterday will induce members to fore
60 farther opposition in the House, and let the
naked measure take its chance in our heretofore
impractcable Senate.

gE FIFTY THOUSAND PERSONS die an
nuay in England of consumption. In the New En-
gland States the proportion is in four or five In
Boston, probably, one in four. In the City of New
York, sixty-seven died in weeks i'll December, of
this disease. 1t is less prevalent in the more northern
latitudes, Russia, Canada, and among the Alps of
Switzerland, where the winters are long and and
there are fewer sudden changes.
No theory can be more welcome to the human mind
than the which establishes on good grounds the hope
for prolonged existence, ii the allegations of those who
at least entitled veracity may be believed there
is a preventative and remedy.
The great author of Nature has provided us with a
remedy for consumption and the diseases leading there

JOHN MITCHELL. THE IRISH PATRIOT,

l..
The Dublin Freemans Journal gives the following
interesting incident, which occurred on the occasion Of
John Mitche's arrival at the Cape of Good Hope
whittier he had been sent by the English government
from Bermuda:
Private letters have reached town, which give some
details OF the arrival and reception of John Mitchell
at the Cape of Good Hope The exied patriot reached
there Just at the time the good people of the Cape were
IN nsurfection against the Saxon the convict ques-
ton John Mitchell one Of the "convicts," and to
nm 1t was boon of no ordinary value to be transferred
from climate injurious to his health, to one in which
h r damaged constitution might become renovated
The good people of the Cape, however, had learned the
lesson OF resistance from their Mtches and were
IN iull acton when ours arrived They refused to ad-
mt the "convicts but when they learned that John
Mitchell was in the bay depuation of the leaders Of
the cape rebels-we beg pardon heroes for they sue
ceededNwated on the authorities and offered to receive
Mitchell as free settler" The authorities, we pre-
sumo, thought there Mtchells enough there alrea-
ay and refused to accede to the proposal OF the depu
tatlon, and John Mitchell is now again at sea, a
Wanderer on the ocean and an exile from his home
ne peculiar circumstances of the case were just of
that class to elicit trait of Mitchels character He SUI
ered from the success of the Cape insurgents but he
lett their harbor with exutant heart crying "Bravo
men ofth Cape!'
