present to contest his right. The credentials
he said, should be referred to the COMMITTEES

act as they believed Justice required.

sion WAS put to the House and decided I'D
yersly by 7 maj.

BELxKAr's BUILptSc.--One of the neatest
business houses in this city has Just been
completed by w. w. Balknap, Esq, on Sec
ond street, between Main and Johnson II
is built Of brick, seventy by forty -four feet
on the ground, and three stories high. Mr..
b. has shown his good taste, and set nm ex-
ample worthy Of imitation, by finishing the
front with pressed brick, which, of course,
give the building avery smooth and finished
appearance. The Iron front in the first sto-
~ and the iron window caps will attract at
tsnsion. They were made by Beatty, Long
4 Co.,, OF the Union Foundry, in this city.
The entire cost of the building was about
$3,ee0. Mr.. Belknap has spared no pains
or expense to have it u we'll built and well
Flashed building, and We think he has sue
ceeded..
The frst story is occupied by Henderson
i Satchell, Merchant Tailors, who have re-
Gently settled in this city, bringing with them
large and very dne stock of Cloths, Vest
ings, Furnishing goods OF all kinds, &c.-
Mr.. Satchell's long aud we'll tried experience
in the business enables him to promise some
OF the best work seen in this city.
The front room Of tho second story AIR.
Bclknap has finished of in handsome amp
convenient manner as an Office for his own
use. The other rooms are en- gagged for off,
ces, and oil of them supplied with gas fx-
iugs. 1t is most intercstiu " item to the
owner that the rents pay first rate per
centage on his investment

seiged by the teams Of those who have come
