REPORTED EXPRESSLY FOR THE TELEGRAPH. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Moaner, Feb. 10, 1882. The House was called to order at 8 o'clock, P.M. A large number of petitions were presented and properly referred. 11ZPORTS OF CONN:CUFFS Mr. SCOTT, (Judiciary General,) with amend ment, Senate bill entitled a supplement to an act relative to bringing suite by creditors and others against assignees and others.

Also, (same,) as committed, an act relative to operators and others in the employ of telegraph companies. Mr. BROWN, (Northumberland,) (same,) as committed; an act to attach Erie and Crawford counties to the eastern district of the supreme court. Mr. Ild'COY, (Election Districts,) as commit ted, an act to restore the boundaries of Lucerne township, Fayette county for election purposes. Mr. fit'CULLOCH, (same,) as committed, an act to change the place of holding the elections in the second ward, city of Harrisburg. CONTESTED ELECTION CASE Mr. SMITH, (Cheater,) from the special commit tee to inquire into the alleged undue election of Charles T. Abbot to a seat in the House from the seventeenth representative district, Phila delphia, made a report which was read as fol lows To JOHN Rows, Bsq. ' Speaker, and the num bers of the House of Representatives of the Oom- mowed& of Pennsylvania : The committee selected upon the petition of certain citizens of the Seventeenth representa tive district of Philadelphia, complaining of the undue election of Cuesms F. ABBOT, the sitting member from that district, to determine said contested election, respectfully report : That in obedience to a resolution of the House, they met in the east committee room on the six teenth day of January, A. n. 1862, and sat from day to day, Sundays * excepted, until the . seventh day of February, A. D. 1862, inclusive ; their sittings on the fuurth and fifth days of February having been, by the leave of the House, in the city of Philadelphia. The sitting member, with his counsel, A. Simpson, Esq., and the contestant, Robert M. Carlisle, with his counsel T. L. Husband azul J. M. Sprogrell, Esq., were before the committee and fully heard by them. The material allegations in the petition be sides that hereafter to be mentioned, are as fol low, viz : Arai. That "the tally list and other return papers" of the Fourth or Thirty-third regiment were sot signed by the judges and other officers ; there was no allegation however that these papers were not genuine. In the opinion of the committee the mere failure to sign these papers did not invalidate them nor deprive the party of the votes noted in thein, if the papers were in fact genuine, which is to be presumed in the absence of an averment to the contrary. Second. That for Robert M. Carlisle were cast eighteen hundred and fourteen votes, including one hundred and five "votes cast in the army;" that for Charles F. Abbot there were cast eighteen hundred and thirty-seven votes, in cluding fifty-nine "votes cast in the army," leaving an apparent majority of twenty-three votes for Charles F. Abbot ; but that twenty seven of the votes cast for said Abbot were illegal, and that therefore said Carlisle was elect ed by a majority of four votes; the names of the alleged illegal voters and the ground of the illegality of their votes being specifically set out, and the allegation being valid, if estab lished by proof. It appeared from the evidence and the admis sions of the parties by the petition and other wise, that for the sitting member there were in fact, cast, eighteen hundred and thirty-seven votes. Si) that if there be deducted‘from that number, the twenty-seven votes alleged to be illegal, he would still have eighteen hundred and ten votes. Upon an examination of the contestant's case, the election papers showed that six. votes were cast for the contestant by the regimental and staff officers in Colonel Bather's regiment : and that the officers of said election were the Colo nei of said regiment and other persons, whose character did not appear, and not the company tams of any "troop or company," as is pro vided by the act of Assembly. The same documents showed also that in the Twenty-seventh regiment, all the companies voted together; that a single set of officers con ducted the election of all the companies; that the character of the election officers, whether company officers or not, did not appear and that at this election, regimental and staff officers and members of the band voted. In this regiment the contestant received nine vote. The committee are of opinion that the votes given in said regiments are illegal, because the election was not held by the officers directed by law to hold them, and are, in fact, of no more value than if given at a poll held by the pri vates, or even by persons in no way connected with the militia. Besides, it seems to be rea sonably clear that the scope of the act of As sembly regulating the vote of the military, does not include persons who are not members of some particular troop or company, commanded uy an officer of no higher rank than a captain. However this may be, the first reason given seems to be indisputable, and on that the com mittee base their determination. These fifteen votes then being deducted from the number which the contestant claims to have received, reduce that number to seventeen hundred and ninety-nine, and leave a majority of eleven for the sitting member, assuming that all the votes alleged to be illegal are pro perly to be deducted from his count. As regards the allegation yet to be considered: It was admitted that all the votes cast for the contestant, were for "Representative," that nearly all the votes cast for the sitting member were for ' Assembly," a few being cast for him also;for "Representative," and that the votes gle4for the contestant for "Representative" 3 , outnumbered the votes oast for the sit member for "Representative." The mile HARRISBURG, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 11, 1862. gation was that "Assembly" is an office not known to our laws, and that "Representative' is, and therefore all the votes for: `Assembly" should be rejected; and this would result in the election of tiobert H. Carlisle. Granting the contestant's postulate, his conclusion is necersa rily correct. The constitution declares that the General Assembly shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives; and the acts of Assembly re ferring to the General Assembly, speak of the persons composing the two bodies as Senators and Representalivea. But the contestant did not point out to the committee, nor have the committee found any law mandatory or directory, declaring the tnan• nee in which the votes for this office are to be designated. When it is considered that the election laws are for securing Iti&exereise of our most Valua ble right, a rigntlYing at the foundation of our political system: and when it is considered that both the voter and the officers of the elec tion in the vast majority of instances, are not tamdiar with the construction of statutes, the committee believe that when the voter has fairly and clearly indicated for what office he designs to vote, neither he nor his candidate should be deprived'of the weight of the vote, because the office is not named in the precise words used in the law. From time immemorial in many, if not all the districts in this State, members of the House of Representatives have been voted for by the name "Assembly," clearly declaring the come mon judgment of the people that by that name they sufficiently manifested the office they in tended. It may be further remarked that whilst the laws with regard to many other matters have specifically directed in what terms the voter should indicate his choice, in this case there has been uo each ilirection„although it was, and had been for a long time, the general and notorious practice to vote for Representatives by the name "Assembly," both when the con stitution has been amended, and acts of Assem bly passed in relation to tide subject. Other reasons might be suggested, stowing that the term "Representative," may not be a more certain designation of office than "As sembly," and that the argument of the contest ant from this uncertainty might prove too much for his own case. The committee, therefore, report that Charles F. Abbot, the sitting member, had the great est number of legal votes for epresentative of the Seventeenth district of the city of Philadel phia, and ought to be admitted to said office.

The resolution was agreed to, and the House #uin Adjourned. Belling a Wife, A rich occurrence transpired on last Friday at the New York hotel, on C street, near Four and-a-half, and which, bat for the timely in terference of Justice Walter, might have re. suited in a tragedy. A sergeant in the Fifty-ninth New York regi ment some time since disposed of his wife, a buxom young Swier woman, for pecuniary con siderations, to a captain in the same regiment. Whether the transfer was 'to be perpetual, or was only for a limited period, we did notlearn; but, anyhow, the captain obtained possession of the moman, who, we presume, from the in difference manifested in the magistrate's office, was very well satisfied with the exchange of husbands. Pay-day came, and with it the ser geant's rent bill. The captain, who, by this time, had probably become tired of his bar gain, objected to poney up the amount he had agreed to pay. Sergeant very persistently urged thejustice of his claims, and Insisted on being paid for the use of his property. Atter considerable bickeriug between the parties as to the amount, the captain declared that the charge was exorbitant, and refused to pay anything for the woman, which so enraged the sergeant that he walked into the captain forthwith, and was met by him in becoming spirit. Swords and pistols were about being brought into play, when Justice Walter, who was sitting in an adjoining apartment, walked into the room in which the combatants were amusing themsevles, an I marched them both to his office, and comaelird tbettt to give 'secu rity to keep the . peace,.w - lainif they, did, What became . of thty 'woman, whether she fell to the captain's kbasscr.or returned to the embraces of her legal lOrd. 4 ,we did not learn.,— Hersittutgon, tit say tbeernakiiika very' &laic one.l-4f~o.l4o4iicani if f • ,I• BY THEIR ARREST OF GENERAL STONE.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. Ile following order was lamed from the War Department to day: WAR DAPA.RTAIRNT, /0 WAHRLNOToN, Feb. 10. Ordered that a person calling himself Dr. Ives, a native of a rebel State, whose brother, lately in the military service of the United States, is now an officer in the rebel army; and who pretends to be a special representative of the New York Herald for. Washington, be ar rested and held in close custody at Fort BF Henry ite a spy and for violating the rules as reg ulations of this Department In this: "That on Saturday the Bth day of February, 1862, against the public and well known regulations for the safe transaction ,of Congressional business, he intruded himself into the War Department, and into the chambers where the Secretary and his assistants were transacting business with mem bers of Congress, for the purpose of spying and obtaining war news and intelligence in regard to cabinet consultations, telegraphs, &c., for publication, which he knew was not authorised to be published, and having so intended, be conducted himself insolently, making threats to the Assistant Secretary, Peter H. Watson, of the hostility of the New York Herald against the administration of the War Department, unless he was afforded special privileges end furnished intelligence by the Department in re spect to cabinet consultations, telegrams, offi cial communications, and all news the moment it was received by the Department, in advance of, all other papers." The War Department is the place where the President, the Commander-in Chief of the army and navy, and his subordinates, the Secretary of War and other public officers, are earnestly engaged in the business of overcoming treason and rebellion against the Government of the United States. It is not a place where spies, or traitors, or for any person, bat for public purposes, can be suffered to enter or harbor.— Newspapers are valuable organs of public in telligence and instruction, and every proper facility will be afforded to all loyal persons to procure, on equal terms, information of such public facts as may be properly made known to time of rebellion. But no matter how use ful or powerful the press may be, like every thing else, it is subordinate to the national safety. The fate of an army, or doe destiny of the nation may be imperilled by a spy In the garb of a newsyaper agent. The nation is. in con flict with treason and rebellion, and may be threatened by a foreign foe. The lives and fortunes of twenty millions of people, and the peace and happiness of their posterity in the loyal states—the fate of public liberty and Re publican Government forever are staked upon the instant issue. The duties of the President and his secretary, of every officer of the Governmeat, and especi ally in the War Department and military ser vice, are at this moment engaged In urgent and solemn duties,the most solemn and urgent that ever fell upon men,and no news gatherer nor any other person for sordid an dtreasonable pur pose.' can be suffered to intrude upon them at such a time, to procitre news by threat', or 80' out special acts which the safety of the nation requires not to be disclosed. For these reasons the aforesaid Ives has been arrested and im. prisikned, and all persons so offending will be dealt with in like manner- •_l Piped.] t '• • FoitgeLaq of War* „ • Later From Mexico. 16.000 Allied Troops at Vera Cruz.

The report of the committee of conference on the bill to raise certain troops in Missouri and Maryland was taken up.

If- the currency of the country is to be of paper, it matt be on a sound basis. He proposed by this form of , an association of the people of the producers to turnis , t a currency for the country, and to have a currency based on gold and silver, which would pass in any part of the country. An institution of that kind would be Moat ser viceable to the Government, in regard to the national debt, mod also be of great ad vantage in its influence on the current rates of Interest, and would briug out large quantities of coin now hoarded up. High rates of inte rmit and exchange are a great damage to the country. He wanted the country and the peo ple to get out from under such a grinding op- pression as that of Wall street.

Pierpont de claring him elected. Mr. Fiegar based his claims on the twenty five votes castrforlim, contending that it was strictly ait gal election, and the only inquiry is, did the memorialist receive more votes than any other candidate? Mr. tiegar bad frankly stated to the committee, that besides Hamp ton the polls could not be opened in the other precincts of the Congressional adistncta, for the reason that they were in ti possession of the rebel force. The committee say there was not a full compliance with the Virginia election code. They do not however rest their objections solely on that, but ask if only twen ty-five persons voted for Mr. Seger, the polls not being opened throughout the district for the reasons stated, what evidence had they that if a full vote had been taken there would not have been an overwhelming vote against him. Mr. Szoaz spoke in defence of his claims. At every threshold . the question was raised whether loyalty should be stifled and treason recognized, countenanced and rewarded— whether rebellion should drive loyally to the wall and their transfix it, andObether the re bellion can rob any citizen of soy privileges under our glorious Constitution. As to twenty five votes only being given for him, he had to say that not a siogiet.citizen could be deprived of his right. He was here, not in his own, but in behalf of that part of his constituency, who, living in sight of the stars and stiipea flying from Forti cis Mentos, where the atom dashed round them and clung to the Ship of State.

THE RIOT& Atrraosirra are lightening the cords of their tyranny as the lines of the federal forces are closely hemming in every portion of the rebel territories. One of the last acts of these tyrants is the order punishing with death, the transmission of any information whatever, on any subject, to the north, with out the matter being first revised by efficera detailed for that purpose. Davis & Co., are unwilling io allow the fact of the social anarchy and personal deTeration now prevailing at the south, to be known tit the north, and therefore they adopt his espionage of the correppuuderice of their subjects as thesnrest means et prevent log thaeireulation of such information. It is only:another act of , . petty tyranny which will inenitsbiatead dtainish the evil which it inelbsio bide. -
