Contested Election Cases Disposed Of.
The House spent host OF the day in considering
contested election cases, and decided those OF Rice
OF Kennlcky and segar ofyrgina. Rice who is
democrat was contested on the ground that he had
during the war, given aid and comfort to the rebel
lion. 1t was shown, however, that he had been
offered anu oeclued prominent appointments in the
Confederate service, and that he had generally been
a Union man. Under these circumstances only seven
votes were cast against him. Segar was elected TO
represent the State OF Virginia at large, but the
House ruled that that state Is not entitled TO an
additional representative. About seven contested
election cases are still on the docket among which
there are 1ve, at least which will 60 over till the
next session, partly fOr want OF time and partly
because the contestants prefer them to go over o.

court was ordered, and after full and impartial
trial by officers OF the highest character General
Hitchcock being president, Colonel Belger was hon
orably acquitted Of all the specifications and the
charge. The Secretary Of War disapproved of the
verdict Of the court and instead Of directing them
to reconsider the proceedings, dissolved the cour
