says: g Representative Piatt, Of Virginia,
served notice of contest upon Hon. John
Goode. Of Norfolk, for his seat in the
Forty -fourth Congress from the Second
district of Virginia. The contest is
based upon the fact that the returns
from Prince George county were thrown
out by the State canvassers on account OF
legal tecbnicalities in the failure to certify to
the returns on the part of the county clerk
and judges Of election. The throwing out
of this vote gave Mr.. Goode over 100 ma
jority."
