PRIVILEGES AND ELECTIONS.
WARRINGTON, Jan 10-The Senate Com.
mittee on Privileges and Elections met this
morning, and, at the suggestion Of Senator
Herman, ordered that General D. NJ. Frost
of St. Louis, be subpenaed to appear before
the committee to testify in relation 10 his
(Frost's) alleged ineligibility as Presiden-
tial Elector.
Mr.. Frost was chosen as an elector on the

souri, Electoral College met the Republican

votes than he (stiie) for the office of Presi
Dental elector for the Third District, Mis-
souri,, ineligible, but he was refused.
General Frost is graduate of the West
Point Academy, and served in the United
States regular army until the breaking out
of the war of the Rebellion. when he entered
the Confederate service, and the Missouri
Republicans claim that the political disabil
tiles which Frost incurred by his service in
The Confederate army have never been re-
and therefore he was ineligible to
