Coquett in the senate.
The senate did not sit on Saturday and the

On the first ballot the Illinois delegation and few
others, supported Rev, Mr.. Dodge, late of Spring

Tiffany, Episcopalian, who was chaplain Of the

the Goth congress, and the Episcopalians of the
9Th. The chaplain of the senate was Prcsby-

give them one.
