By iho Baltimore American of last ovo iring, the reports of the "first gun" from Vnshington have reached us. It appears, that bill orte member of the 241 claimants frasnb'sflni, viz: Mr. Kcmpshall, a fede Tal member, from Now York. Tho Clerk. Mr. Garland, at 12 o'clock, nailed tho House to order. He said that if it Was the pleasure of the House he would read the names of the Members of the 'Twenty-sixth Congress from a list which lie had prepared for the occasion." There was a moment's pnnse, and no objection be .ing made, the Clerk proceedod to read the names from tho written list before him, be. 'ffinnitiff with the Maine delegation. "When the State of New Jersey was nam- ed, the Clerk toad tho name or Mr. Ran dolph. Uo then said that there wcro five contested seals in tho New Jersey delega tion, which, if it wan tho pleasure of the IIouss, he would pass over, leaving the sub Meet to tho future action of llio Housu. The first named of the-Pennsylvania del egation was then read, when the Clerk was interrunlad bv Mr. Maxwell, one of the New .TersevdeleMtion. Mr.JMaxwell cal led for the reading of the certificate of elco lion of tho five members. Goc'iior Pen ninirtnn's certificate! announcing iti? elec tion of the six Members, Messrs. Aycn:g Maxwell, Halsten, Stratton, Yorlce and Ran dolph, was then read. A debate made up of suggestions merely sprang up between Messrs. Maxwell of N"cw Jersey, Rives, Mercer and Wise of Virginia, Vanderpocl of New York, and several other Members. Mr. Mercer of Va. called for the reading of tho law of New Jersey. Mr. Rives of Va. calle'd for the reading of the names of the remaining members for (ho purpose of forming a quorum. ' Messrs. Hoffman of New York, Halsted, of New Jersey, Vanderpoel, of Now York, Mercer, of Virginia, Johnson, of Maryland, Biddle and Sergeant, of Pennsylvania, re monstrated in storng terms against the dis position to compel the disputed claimant from New Jersey to stand back until after I the organization, and contended, that as they wore in possession of the Governor's certificate they were entitled to their seats in the first instance, leaving it incumbent on those ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE to contest as a matter of course, leaving the fraudulant claimants, first decide the e lection of Speaker Ec 1 ! Mr. Bynum, of North Carolina, spoke nt length in reply to Mr. Ilalstead, in de fence of the conduct of Mr Garland, the clerk, in regard to the claim of the five Van Buren members from New Jersey who have not got . tho certificates of election. The Clerk, he hoped, would hold fast to his pres ent position. The Administialion members were but defending the people of New Jer sey in opposing their Governor. Ho had assumed a power over an act of the people of New Jersey who were here represented as well as the Governor. Mr. Galbraith, of Pennsylvania, defen ded in a masterly speech the same positions as those advanced by Mr. Bynum, and was followed by Mr. Craig, and others on the other side. Tius matters stood by the last accounts at the seat of government. The denoue ment of this singular state of things, brought on by federal FRAUD and USURPA TION of the deepest dye time must devcl ope. The hope's of millions of Freemen, however, rest upon the firmness and un flinching energy of the daraocralic mem bers. ORGANIZATION OF THE HOUSE. When we left the House to put our pa per to press, tho organization of tho body had been arrested by the Whigs. 1 he Clerk was permitted to call the roll, as is the usualcourse, until after he had called the name of tho undisputed member from "New Jersy. He then stated that, in regard to the other claimants of seals from that .State, thcro was a contest as to the validity of the different returns of members, which he could not decide, and concerning which after callincr through tho roll, and formin'' the House, ho would submit the state of facts, together with l5o documents, to the body. One of the Whig members imme diately demanded tho reading of tho com mission of the Governor, appointing the .minority members. This wa3 done. Mr. .Mercer then palled for the reading of a law in regard to the duty of iho Governor, with out permitting the certificates and proof on the other side to be road. Calls were made sfor the reading of all tho documents sent (o .the Executive olfico under the Slato seal, 'but tho Whigs precluded this by keeping ,up the argument of the case on the cxparte. evidence which tlioy had' drawn nut, and thus suppressing the' clear proof of fraud, coming in ihe most authentic form from the very ofilco and record from which the Whig claimants derived the false certificates, sought to make tho discussion turn on one sided view of the case. Nothing shows the weakness of tho cnuso of the Governor's appointees, nioro than this unfair mode of procedure. It shows that they cannot ven ture to have the whole transaction determin ed on its merits that they dare not subject tho validity of their own certificate to he tested by tho records of the Governor's office, of which it forms a part. They seek to intercept the case bv luwyer-likn chicane iuj aJl'iH oo .'ting to bo shon but what they show Ihcmoselvcs. Before tho House is half made, or the! issuo moro than half presented, the whole body of Whig orators deliver speeches ; and while they argue to convince tho House how it ought to decide, Mr. Halstead, ono of the Whig claimants, tells the body ho addresses, that "he will not consult to the decision of gentlemen here" &c. &c. This is nothing moro nor less than tho admission of a design on the part of Mr. Halstead, and the rest of the minority candidates, to force themselves on tho House in defiance of the majority of the body, precisely as they have attempted to compel the majority of tho people of New Jersy to recognize them as Represen tatives, although they Jiave recorded their suffrages against them. The broad seal of Governor Penninuton, according to Mr. Hai.3TEad, is to put down the will of the people of New Jersy as well as that of the Houso. A. broad seal will be found, wo trust, of as little effect when it certifies a falsehood, as when it is forged to make one. Globe. James Cameron, Esq. supcrintendant of the motive power, on the Columbia Rail Road, was shot with a pistol on Saturday last, at Lancaster, by a Mr. Middlcton, the editor of an Antimasonic newspaper pub lished at that place. Mr. Cameron having been libelled in tho columns of tho Antima sonic paper, ho went to the editor to obtain ro.'lress, when Middlcton drew a pistol and shot Mr. Cameron in the Abdomen. The wo'und it ?s hoped s not mortal, iliddlc- ton hafl been arrested and committed. The Canai Commissioners met at Ham burg ou Monday last, and the Board or Ap praisers on Wednesday. Mr. Grundy elected to ihe U. S. Sen- ale.We learn from the Nas'iHo Wing Extra that tho two Houses of tht" General Assembly met ii: Convention for th." Pur pose ol electing a U. S.

MISSISSIPPI ELECTION. The editors of the N. 0. Louisianian say in their paper of the lGlli inst. " We have conveiscd with a friend who has just arriv ed here from Jackson, the capital of Mis sissippi, who informs us that official returns were received at tho secretary of state's of fice from 21 counties, which give a majori ty of 2800 to Governor McNutt and tho de mocratic candidates of congress, an a gain of democratic members of the legislature."
