the question Of the contested election bs.
tween Wallace and Simpson, from the
Fourth Congressional District of South
Carolina.
At one time it was decided by vote
of 103 to 73 that Simpson had a priin,a
.fcia right to his seat, but the severe op-
position of desperate radicals brought
about a reconsideration of the question,
aud the report of the Committee was

This leaves the case open to contest,
