Correspondence q the N K. Fu. Star. l

 Washington, May 2I, 1854.

 V have been occupied in the House, during the whole of the present days sit ling, in the contested election in Kentucky. fine discussion presents nothing of public interest, lnasmueh as the argument and discussion were principally, if not entirely, confined to the legal provisions of the State of Kentucky as 10 the elective franchise. Mir. Marshall continued at some length, and concluded his remarks, in favor of the right of Mr. Letcher to take his seat. It was speech of great ability. Mr. Clayton fol- lowed ln very able speech on the same ssdc. Hardin also advocated, and, III our opinion, conclusively, the right of Mir. fletcher to take his seat. The majority of the people in favor of Mr. Leteher had clearly been shown to be 49 votes. The doubts which had arisen were, whether that majority of 49 were to be deprived of the effect of their votes, in returning their can- dldate, Tn consequence of an irregularity, or supposed irregularitv, in the mode, time or plan of taking their votes. Mr. Hardin contended that such ought not to be the case. A citizen's franchise, even were it an individual instance, IS matter of too much importance, to be lightly sacrificed. Connect this objection with the fact Of Rockers declining to deliver up the poll books, and you may, perhaps, see sstriae" as to the effect of party influence, both here and elsewhere. Mir. Sea-boam Jones re- pied in speech too technical and tedious to be borne at seq or on land, in which he proved nothing except the determination of the majority of the Election Committee, took at the names,) to have MT. Moore declared the duly elected member. The House adjourned before any final action was taken on the matter-of course.

 may further add that there IS no doubt Mr. Moore will take the seat.
