In the Senate it was agreed upon al
sides that the informalities presented ii
the protest do not effect the rights o
Mr.. Cameron to his scat, and it was helc
that the question of alleged fraud ane
corruption in the election properly be
longed to the Legislature of Pennsyl
vania, and not to the Senate. The reso
luton declaring Mr.. Cameron entitled
to his seat as a legally chosen Senator
was withdrawn, the Committee on Ju
dietary having been discharged from
further consideration of the subject
Here the matter rests.
Messrs. Bigler and Pugh received Q
letter this afternoon, dated yesterday
from the t~wenty-four members who hae
signed the protest denying Cameron
assertions, and saying that they coule
have obtained the signatures of othei
Democratic members to the letter bu
for their absence in consequence of the
adjournment of the Legislature.
