MALLORY AU- THORIZED TO RETAIN HIS SEAT. Wasnixaron, July 8814 P. M. ‘The Special Committee of the Senate, in the case of the contested seat of Mr. Mallory, of Florida, have unani- mously agreed to report in favorof the sliting member, ‘The question to be decided was, simply, whether blank ‘yotes should be counted for or against the person being allotted for. Mr. Yuleo, the contestant, it appears, re- ceived, upon the first ballot, 29 votes out of 59—the ba- lance being cast for blank. This was the highest number be received, and no claim was set up a! the time that he wos elected. After several ballottings, Mr, Yulee was dropped, and Mr. Mallory taken up, who received a ma- jority of ali the votes cast. It was clearly proved before the committee, that the universal usage in Florida has eon in al! casos of election by the Legislature, to count ‘votes cast biank as against the person voted for; and this fact, together with the evidence that Mr. Yulee and his friends well understood this usage at the time, by con- tinuing to ballot till a majority was cast for Mr. Mallo- ry, was deemed conclusive, by the committee, that Mr. Mallory was entitled to his seat. Ihe question does not effect any other Senator’s seat, ax has been asserted. It is made aclely with reference tothe lawand usage of Florida. sees pa THE DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL CAUCUS AND THE PUBLIC PRINTING—HON. HUMPHREY MARSHALL AND GEN. SCOTT, ETC.
