solidate in grand reception of Mrs, Mcclellan.
The feature recently introduced into our system,
of treating the wives and babies Of high officers
of the Government with public consideration
and pomp, Is better suited to the atmosphere Of
monarchy and despotism than the free society

princes, being educated with an army they were
born to rule, and his military reception of his

the field to play lackeys to a lady, McClellan's

Election of Congressmen.

Election OF congressman.
Since the proclamation of the President,
calling an extra session Of Congress on the
4th of July, bill has been introduced in
the Assembly for the election Of Congress
men from this State, and on Tuesday was
passed. The elev lion is called for the Sec
ond Tuesday Of June next. The Republi-
cans endeavored to amend the bill so rs TO
REQUIRE that all Of the State officers should
be elected vt the same time, but failing in
this they voted to kill it. But subsequently,
after receiving sharp lecture from Conness,
the whipper in of that body, they voted q
reconsideration, and the bill finally passed
in its original shape calling for the election
of Congressman only. 1t is yet to he acted
upon in the S nate.
Much doubt exists as to whether there is
really vacancy in our Congressional dele
cation. 1t is true that Messrs. Burch and
Scott have served through two sessions Of
Congress since their election; but at least
four months have yet to axpire to make the
time two years since receiving their creden-
tials of election. If the last session Of
Congress had extended through the present
summer of course they would have retained
their seats; and is contended by some that
the calling of an extra session before the
meeting Of the next regular session does
not deprive them of their places. On the
other hand it is urged that the terms of
these gentlemen commenced on the 4th Of
March 80, (six months before they were
electetD and expired on the 4th of March
'Gl. We are no, yet satisfied as to which is
the correct position, but if i; be the latter,
it shows that The State is liable, upon the
calling of extra sessions, to he seriously in
convenienced. from time to time, in holding
special elections for Congressman.
There is another question involved in The
holding of an election now. Under the
census of go this State will be entitled
to three Congressman. but Congre has not
made the apportionmen', and if an election
is held now, we will have but two represen-
,aives for the next two wears, while States
that elect next year will obtain full repre-
sentaiion. This will not be fair. but how
is it to lie avoided! If the election OF
Congressman is held now, or permitted to
90 over until September can the Legisla
ture authorize (he apportionment not being
made) The election of three members, one
of whom shall take lis seat after the appor-
tionment. Can not some one learned in
the law give the desired information?
1t seemed, from the first action of The
Republicans in the Assembly, that they
cared little as to what might be right or
wrong in the election of Congressman, they
were governed 10y party considerations. If
they could bring on the general election
now. while the unsettled state of the public
mind might give them a political advantage
they would favor the bill; if not they were
opposed to it. Conscientious legislators
