Mr. Stephens and the Kansas Contest ed Election> • Tlie Washington Uftion ‘contains the folltiwing condensed report of the speech of Mr. Stephenson the resolution of the commit tee on Elections authorising that committee to end for persons and papers, and take testimo ny in the Kansas contested election case: Mr. Stephens, of Georgia,"opposed the res olutiou. He did not, however* question the power of the House .to exercise this extraordi nary authority. Gentlemen who addressed the House spoke ns if those who were adverse to the passage of the resolution were opposed to Sending for persons and papers. He was in favor of the fullest investigation of every fact which it was proper for the House to know in order to determine the particular point before it. He desired that the House should exercise the widest ami lullest latitude. In the case before the House, which was now sought to be obtained? He thought that if the question was sifted down ! it would be found to amount to this: that the proposition was to send for v. invessts* and by their testimony to prove the invalidity of the territorial government in Kansas, on the ground that the members of it were improper ly and unconstitutionally elected. In the character in which the House was siting, as a court, he was. in favor of bringing Witnesses here to throw light upon every ques lion before them into which they had a right to examine; but he contended that in this ease us a court, they had no right; and that it had taever been attempted to nssml a law by in quiring into the constitutional orgunizatioy of the body that passed it ihev mui no riglit to go back and inquire into Urn legaiit-y oi the election of the member- of the Tt n.a 17. .Such a question had never been raised in a court of justice, and for the reason taut i was a fir.nl-i- Htcntul maxim of 1 lie British law, hud down by Sir Ed Coke,and iliuslra eii in Biavksi me j mol enforced by every writer o the suiyoci, that it is the inherent right of every legisla tive aud paiiinientary body 0: sc! < the ques tion of its own organization for it.-elf. The Committee of i .kcuOns of tue House was examining into tiie ea.-e ot the •mo . , of Hon, A. 11. Reeder under tiie ei.o--e of the constitution which gave the House power to judge of the qualifications and return* tin-ir own members. Tliey had full power \o 0 this, but they had no power and no 1 ,g:.i i go into an investigation of tiie quxlifi no and returns of the legislature of L - , which purpose the committee n.-v, k- and tliority to send so persons and pi; m T question was a closed quetiou ou\ Reed-, was the constituted judge to decide a, and •> . had done so, and admitted and certified to! the legality oft e elect ion a..d ntn;n- ..f t-.i | members of that legislature T- c jmigme t| Was no appellate jurist ties ion to tin House <• i the Supreme Court, or any o.irn nil u The House, by attemptiiig it, would as--.; attitude and prerogative which bid no: g 10.. g j to it, and render itself a usurper. He was opposed to the inve.-tig *1 i* entered his protest against it, bee ns fcetting a most dangerious examjue o u ture. It was not only underiuujiiig l. ev y piUnr* of every State legislature, but it- was un dermining the fouijdatkm*stone of every Stale organization, and the wildest chaos wouiei en sue from such legislation lie re erred to the course of Gov. li* eder, and said that if his own statement was true, he was guilty of the most flagrant, gross, and culpable dereliction of doty that any public officer m the United States had ever committed; and that if the ter ritory committed to his charge had been iuva .- ed and overrun, and the qualified voters there driven from the polls, and he, the governor, had slept upon his post and disregarded his duty, what iufamy of degradation would be low enough to consign him to?

In the first part of this year, my wile had several small lumps make their appearance in her brea.-t; they continued to increase in size, until the whole breast became a diseased mass,and very painful. 1 procured the best medical aid in the city of Rome,and notwithstanding the earnest and faithful attention of our most skillful physi cians, she continued to grow worse and worse, until they gave the ease up as incurable, and advised amputation. 1 was advised by many of my friends, to visit Dr. Moseley, of Grillin, (la., which I did, and, astonishing as it may seem, l,e had her entirely cured within one month, urn! she is vi.i in good health! 1 Would advise ail who are afflicted with Seirrhus, and Cancerous affections to visit the Doctor with out delay, as 1 am satisfied by experience and observation, that he is the most skillful physician in the Southern States, in the treatment of that horrible disease- earn er.
