A bill has been introduced in Con.

By a decision of the Supremo Court,
rendered on Friday of last week, an in
junction was granted against the clec
tlon commissioners appointed by tho
Constitutional Convention to conduct
tho election In Philadelphia on the 10th
Inst., restraining them from any further
proceedings j and the City Commission,
ers wero also prohibited from approprt
atlng or expending auy money for tho
use of the proposed election commission
ers in connection with tho vote to be
taken on the new Constitution. The
ground of the decision is that the Con
vention transcended its powers when It
prescribed a peculiar system for submit.
ting Its work to a popular vote in Fhlla.
delphla, Inasmuch as thu Legislature
had directed that public sentiment
should be tested by tho general election
laws of the Commonwealth. This de
cision indicates that tho election ou tho
lCth Inst., In Philadelphia as elsewhere
must be held under tho Registry law,
nnd tho same general system that is is
operation in ordinary annual elections.

noou and while there camplalncd of a
chilly feeling and returned to his heme.
There he was attacked with severe
pains In his limbs, and after taking a
warm bath retired. Heavy breathing
then attracted tho members of hlsfamlly,
who summoned Drs. Wharton and
Boyle, the former arriving before hia
death, and the latter only in time to
pronounce him dead of apoplexy.
Judgo Underwood was born u in Litch
field, Herkimer county, N. Y., and at
the tlmo of his death was 05 years of
ago. Long beforq,the war ho purchas
ed land in Clarke county, Virginia,
where ho for yean resided. In 1850 he
was a delegate to the convention which
nominated Fremont for the Presidency,

was forced tb1avo the State. Ho then

The repeat of the test oath nnd tlocla-
rntlon of general ammesty by thoHoue
on the 8th Inst, will be heralded as an
act of Just mngnanlmlty on.the part of
tho Republican majority. There are
very-few persons In tho South who will
bo benefitted by It. It was, however,
a measure which should have received
tho unnnlmous support of every mem
ber, but there were twenty-nine Repub
licans who were not yet prepared' to say
that all recollection or ourunnappy war
should be blotted from our statue books.
Ono or two little minds vociferously an
nounced that they would not favor a
proposition which would Enable Jeff
Davis to .take a seat In tho House This

Vice-President of tho lato Confederacy
should have tho-best seat in tho hall.

to take up the question of resumption
of specie payments on Monday next,
and continue the discussion until the
tho matter is finally settled. Tho sense
of tho Ssuatu clearly Indicates, that they
aro for resumption at thu earliest
practicable moment. Tho only difficul
ty is as to the modo of reaching It. The
impression Is that It will not be settled
until after the holidays.

Virginlus will be delivered to our navy

Newcastle. Dee. 10. The parties
found guilty of an ntterapt to rob tho
Bank of Delaware, Wilmington, on tho
7th of November, were publicly whip
ped here to-day. Great excitement
had been caused last nlghtby the report
that a'party had been organized In A'ew
York and Philadelphia to rescue, If
possible, the burglars during the night,
and in consequenco about sovetity-fivo
men were placed under arras by the
Sheriff. The attempt, however, was
not made. The gates nf the prison yard
wero thrown open at about 10:80, and
Carter and Hope wero placed In tho pll-
llory. Both bore this part nf their
sentence with great equanimity, and
seemed in no way disturbed, remarking
as tney were released from their uncoin
fortablo position that they hoped that
Delaware law had been sntlslleil so I u r
At 11:37 Lawler and Hurlburt wcio
brought out and sent to tho stock. The
first named seemed a trifle excited, but
Hurl but treated the whole affair as a
cood joke. By this tlmo a numerous
crowed, estimated as from 35 to 50,000
people, had collected around the prison,
making frantic effotts to gain a gllmpso
or tne two now undergoing metr punlsli
ment. After Hurlburt and Lawler had
been returned to their cells.the most Ira
portant, because the most disgraceful,
portion of their puishment, the whip.
ping, was commenced. The first man
out was Carter, who received his forty
lashes with stolid ludlfference.and who.
released from the post, walked firmly
and proudly back to the jail. He was
next chained to the stocks, and took
his punishment bravely. The next man,
uiwier, was brought forth white and
nervous, but did not flinch, and looked
defiantly upon tho multitude as thov
jeered upon him. He probably suffer
ed more than either of the others who
preceded him. Hurlburt received tho
rorty lasnes in tuo same characteristic
manner which ho had exhibited on the
pillory, seeming to care little for any
sentence. The excitement over tho
affair is simply wonderful. An extra
train mainly rilled with noted Phlladel
phlans was run from Wilmington, and
came over about 11 o'clock. All tho
Philadelphia and most of the New York
papers wore represented.
