OF TIE MARYLAND LEGISLATURE
HOUSE OF DELEGATES.
ANNAPOLIS, March Q, lS6

j.,
After the cars left this morning
Mr.. BARNES COMPTON, of the Special Committee
to whom referred the matter of election of
delegates in Washington county, submitted the fol-
lowing report:
That by the returns of the Judges of said election
it appears that James Coudy, Martin Eakle, John
G. Brining, George Freaner and A. r. Stake re-
ceived larger number of the votes cast than the
others voted for, delegates to the General Assem-
bly, Neither the fairness OF the election nor the
accuracy of the returns has been questioned by any
as far your Committee are informed; and
this being so, it would be their duty to report that
each and all of them entitled to their seats in
this House. with the privileges attached thereto as
delegates from Washington county, were it not
from the fact that the House has been notified by
Mr.. George Freanpr, one of them, that he had not
been three years Immediately preceding his cleo
tiOn resident of this State. He was therefore
ligible under the Constitution.
=, 10 the Committee the only question was whether
=. .9e person receiving at the time the next
hlSnest number of votes if qualified in all other
particulars; duly elected delegate? The Com
mlttee think not. There was no contest-and this
~ contemplated by both the Constitution and the
laws before one person be substituted in the
place OF another. The Committee are of opinion
that Tue speaker vi the House should issue his war
rant Tor new election to fill the vacancy in the
number of the delegates from WASHINGTON courtv
The Committee deem it due Mr. Freaner to saw
that soon as his attention called to the clause
in the Constitution affecting his case which hn oS
members of the House had overlooked, or forgotten
during their candidacy, he Immediately notified
the House of his relations to it, and rendered his
resignation of the seat occupied by him, thus Civ
ing testimony of his ready obedience to the law
comporting well with the industry, fairness and
ability with which he discharged the duties of a
Delegate, whilst he acted in that capacity.
The Committee recommend the passage Of the
following ORDER
That the Speaker of the House of Delegates issue
his warrant for an election to be holden at such
time as he may appoint mot inconsistent with the
laws of this State) IN Washington county, for
electing delegate to represent said county in the
House Of Delegates; and further, that the seat
cuped by George Freaner a delegate from said
county, be and is hereby declared vacant
GEoRGD II. MORGAN,

THE EpNUNDsoN AND HICKMAN DIFFr-

THE EDuUNDsoN AND HICKMAN DIFFI- CULTY.-The Washington correspondent of the Enquirer, writing on the llth inst, says:
 A fracas which occurred yesterday be- tween Edmundson, of Virginia, and lick man, of Pennsylvania, is the town~es!k of to-day. It appears that as Hickman was walking through the grounds leading from the capitol to Pennsylvania avenue, after the adjournment of the House. he met Mir. Keitt, of South Carolinia, MT. Boulgny of Louisiana, and Edmundson, in company, the latter of whom accosted him, saying, ''you made speech at Willard's Hotel the other night; when Speaker Pennington was serenaded, in which you insulted my State" Hickman replied, "I did make a speech on that occaS sion" when Edmundson struck him, knocking his hat off Vice President Breckenridge, who was near at hand with Mr. Keitt, interfered, and pre- vented the matter from going further.
 It is said that Hickman was armed. and the republicans express much dissatisfac- tion that he did not shoot his assailant, He has been so bitter in his denuncation of the South, and so whitening in his rili cule of southern chivalry, that great things were expected of him if he ever came into conflict with any southern representative. It is said, however, that Hickman would have defended himself if he had not been seized aud held by one of the ,gentlegen who interfcred.

The Exiled Free Negoes Returning into
 Slavery.

The northern papers have been busily as sailing the inhumanity of the act which e2- fled this unfortunate class from our State.
 We have now tested practically the law which relieved us from their presence, and tho free negroes have tested the life of free dom among the freedom shriekers at the North
 Our experience is of the most agreeable character, and the law has proven itself to be one of the very best on our statute book. Since ArkansaS has been made by that act strictly slave State, since all hope is cut off by statutory enactment of slaves here being liberated by will, or deed, unless the slave is carried beyond our limits in the lifetime of his owner and set free, there has been marked change for the better in the character of the slave population. There is no discontent and no disposition to shirk service due even to indulgent masters. We can safely recommend to our sister States the law as salutary and wise under existing circumstances. The conduct ofth northern abolitionists brought about the ne cessity of this law, forced us in self-defence to pass it, and the results they have forced into voluntary slavery large number of free negroes.
 Several of "the exiles" have returned and selected masters in thls city. Others have returned to other counties to our cer- tain knowledge, and those here report a state of facts which any one could have fore seen.
 All left here with plenty of money. A few months residence reduced them to penu- " and want. They say the abolitionists swindled them out of all their money and geve them in exchange only lip professions, tha; the free negro of the North has poorer fare and harder time than the slave of the South.
