MB. MXLWEIi AM) m. JiEUlXS.! A most disgraceful tramadol occurred in the houso of Representatives' bn Satur day last between Mr. M'Elwee of Bedford end Mr. Ilcgins of Northumberland. Mr. M'Elwco nlade somo remarks reflecting up on Mr. Ile'gin. Kir. iiegina retorting ebarply in hi reply, Mr. M'Elwee imme diately went to the seat of Mr. Ilegins and. called him a d -d puppy. Mr. ilegins replied, that if ho said so he was ad d scoundrel. Upon which Mr. M'Elwco spit In bis fade. Great oxcitemciit wzi created In the house in consequence. As soon as it could bo quieted, h resolution was intro duced appointing a committee) to onquiro lnto the facts of tlie case. Tho committee , repotted the cidencc, but defined recdm j mending any action. Mr. Flsruir of iMilla 'deldhia, however, immediately offered n Vesolution expelling Mr. M'Elwee from the. hoUBe, which, after considerable discussion, was adopted by a rote of 08 to 0. This is a plain Malemerlt of the facta as ivo -gather from the Harrisburg papers, and we re peat, that it was a most disgraceful transac tion on the part of Mr. M'Elwee, and wd cannot see how the houso could have done less than tako the step they did, and pre serve the dignity of tiic Legislature.
