Gen. Calhoun visited Judge Douglas shortly
after his arrival. They had long conversation,
several persons being present The Judge in
quired in reference to the returns from Delaware
Crossing. Calhoun made no answer Before
they separated the inquiry was again made.
Calhoun replied that the returns had been prop.
erly certified. Judge Douglas then gave him
some sworn evidence on the subject. Calhoun
read and turned pale. About o'clock in the
morning Calhoun sent to Douglass house that
he was convinced there had been fraud at Della
ware Crossing-fve hundred and forty votes be-
ing put down where only forty were cast-and
that he had made the correction In the record,
with the approval Of the President. He author
lied Judge Douglas, Mr.. Harris of Illinois, and
Gen. Quitman, to publish this fact.

In the Senate, on the test vote, Allen refused

Lecompton on the question Of It's passage. Pugh

The PoLYGAMIsT. - Since the arrest of
Coombs, alias Estes, for bigamy, the police
have succeeded in finding five women who
claim to be the wives of the rascal, aud this
morning the entire five were taken to the
Jail where Estes is now confined Tor want of
bail, and confronted him in his cell. Each Of
the live females claimed the prisoner as her
leige lord, and he, we believe, did not deny
the imputation that he had given to each his
solemn promise to be fond and faithful hus-
band. The scene was interesting but brief,
as the prisoner seemed to fear, like Macbeth,
while witnessing the procession Of kings, that
it might "stretch out till the crack OF DOOM"
and turned away to avoid the sight. Boston
