The Speaker of the House had a certified copy of the returns from which Mr. llutledge's credentials could have been obtained. lt,sccmx that the only harm that has been done has been to delay Mr. Hutledge in receivingMiis mileage. This lias now been paid, and all is right. Death. I?~.. 1.' i nv: nut. j'j. iv. .miic.s, ot i;narieston, who was at one lime Hector of Trinity Church at this place died in Charleston last Thursday.
