sous seat.
Resotrcd, I'd, That the standing rules
adopted for governing the last Seuate be

therefor the following:
No person claiming seat as Sena.
tor, 'hall be permitted TO vote upon any

The above rules to be in force until
otherwise ordered by the Senate.
We have also further agreed that the
following bills shall be passed before the
report of the Comnittee on Privileges
aud Elections shall be acted on in :he
case Of Messrs. BrOadwells and John

l. A bill providing for the call Of a

portlonment If delegates to accord with
the provisions Of the present apportion-
ment law, except that Hamilton county

defeat either of said bills, then the
reportof said committee is I've to acted up
on Immediately afier,he final action upor
all Of said bills. B. RANDALL.
The above is correct statement of lh'
arrangement between Mr. Randall an,
myself, and | fully acqulesce in th'
same. L.. SWIFT.
There was some feigned surprise O.
the Locofoco side on the offering of this
johnson said he felt his d lys were mum
bered When tell you have reaso
to believe Hamlin had hand in concoc
ting this olive branch, you will not won
der that have some dislrust. Th'
Wings. or enough of them to pass it, vii
vote for the resolutions. The vote in it
favor will probably be mixed-partl,
Wings and partly LocoCocos.
Had there been Wing in Randall
place. we should have had an organize
, long since, on the only proper basis
Messrs. Broadwell and johnson standir
aside until the committee reported {
their case.
The Locns have only held ou, becau
they had some hopes Of Randalls yiel,
ing right fur the sake of peace.
