The question is now seriously mootcd in
political circles here, whether or net the mem
bers lately elected to Congress by the City
of Baltimore, will be admitted to seats in
that body, The Hon. Rcyerdy johnson,
who is now here, gives it as lis opinion, tlat
the fact will be fully established that no lo-
gal election has been held, and that protests
signed by thousand of legal voters will be
presented to Congress against these gentle
men being permitted to represent the Mon
umcaial City in the National Councils. 1t
is very clear that a large portion of the cit
izens of Baltimore were disGeanehised, and
it will be question for the consideration of
the House Of Representatives to determine
whether Messrs. Harris and Davis are le-
gally and constitutionally members, and en- ,
titled to take their seats. It is doubted if
their rejection would Be desirable to Balti-
moro as a community, as it you'd dcyolyo

election with additional elements Of excite

SUMMON health. This was the story which was pub
lisled in the evening pspers Of Saturday.
closer examination Of the body, however, disclosed
the fact that he had been murdered. There were no
less than fifteen stabs in his neck and breast, made
with come narow.bl aded sharp Instrument and on
his neck were signs Of 81 attempt at stranguation.
which was further proved By the fact that his lungs
were full Of air and his tongue prOtruded between the
teeth One Of the cuts had severed the iuguar vein,
and another nearly separated the vertebrF. Two Of
the wounds in the breast had penetrated the heart.
OF coursc an intense excitement was created. Dr..

MARRIED IN A DIssEcTING ROOM
Last Sunday night couple were married
by the Rev. DR.. Fisher at the Dancing
Academy, late a Medical College, on
Western Row, to which we have before
alluded. The prospective bride we learn,
had imbibcd q singnlarly romantic notion,
after reading the Gazette, of being welded
in place that had been rsc as dissec-
ting room, and so she swore to Glove honor
and obey" in the same apartments where
the dead had lain all CHASTITY and horri-
be in the cele elts f il e grave. Wheth-
er this rendered the connubial VOWS more
solemn we are unprepared to say; but
those flippant testers who declare matri-
mony and death closely allied might find
some basis on which to rest their theory.

COINCIDENCE OF INoUEsTs.-An in
quest was held yesterday on the body of
Mrs. Ann Jennings, a native of Ireland,
aged thirty years, found dead at 81 Girod-
street, First District. Verdict " Died of
apoplexy, caused by intcmperance.
An inquest was also held on the body
of Mrs. Julia Miller, native of Ireland,
aged twenty-seven years, found dead in
house at the corner Of Poydras and st.
Petcr-strect. Verdict, !" Died Of apoleXy,
caused by imtcmpcrance.
1t is worthy Of note that the two wo-
men, whose deaths are above recorded,
looked so much alike, that one could
scarcely be told from the other. Nor
does the coincidence end in their similarity
OF appearance. They were both married
to steam boat hands: their husbands We're
away when they died: they occupied
similar rooms, and the quilts which COW
cred their beds were of the same pattern
Furthermore, they died about the same
time, and the cause in each case was
alike!-N o. Picoyvne.
