+ Yesterday, the subject of electiflg 4 Post
master to the House came up, and Clserett mad;
speeches innumerable thereon. He Nm mos
soiicitous about saving to the State seven on,
dollar " It's ncne Of my particular business. tt
4 ne sure but 1 can stell him how he can save te
the state great lnany dollars And that ID
SIMPLY by keeping his mouth shut, At least once
IN aSwhiie. Thisc an be demonstrated with matb
einatical certainty. There are eighty-six Men,
bers in the House and forty.three In the Senate
the salary OF each being three dollars tlav.--
Inc aggregate per diem is, therefore, $3S7 The
CLERK hire, etc., will run the charges per day up
| TO considerably more than four hundred dollars.
and, with incidcntals, perhaps more than five
hundred. Now Claggett has already epoken "a
| least half IN day. His speeches have been s,ssy.
Moidy, pointiess, useless and voraceous Bsd
tt tsaae cost the State than t.eo hundred dol
ttss. Ii he continues through the session as he
has commenced, i suggest that the State credit
itself as follows: 99 as8sas
Bs cash for Glagset gas, sav.... 81. 900.
| But | think he will desist Already, as it
seems to a IMAM in the gallery, has he disguised
even the Democratic Members, and predict that
they will unanimously vote him bore.
This eternal ery, of expense ringing from De-
lnocrstic benches will be found run about forty
feet into the ground eia i.'
The Senate and House were organized yester-
day. on the basis of the Republican nominations
except that, in the House, there was no election
OF Postmaster. Mr.. Claggets introduced a reso
luton about the pay of officers. He fired off
too soon again-before even message had been
seit 70 the Senate, informngit that the House was
organized aud the resolution, on motion of Mr.
Gooddrell, was tabled 1t will be seen that the
design OF these Democratic Economists y is not
20 save money, but to clog the wheels Of govern
meht as much as possible Those of them who
suppose the people cannot see into this palpable
hunbug are unpardonably green
The two Houses met in Joint Convention tf,.
day at IL o'clock, for the purpose Of canvass;no

There were several .sscattering votes for
both offices, and quite number for n p Rusch
By other mistakes in his name, Mr. Rusch also
lost many votes After the votes were canvass
ed, the Governor and Lieutenant Governor elect
were sworn in, Chief Justice Wright administer
ing to them the oath Of Office. Governor Kirk
wood then delivered his Inaugural, of which
enclose you copy. / have no hesitancy in pro-
nouncing it one Of the most able documents
which ever emanated from the Executive Depart
ment Of this State 1t made the Democratic
members most intensely mad-not because its
spirit was unpatrotic or its arguments fallacious
but because, breathing a warm devotion
to the Constitution and the Union, it also forti-
fed the positions of the Republican Party with
most convincing logic, and placed the Democracy
completely on the defensive
should have said that, after the canvass was
announced by Lieutenant-Goyernor Favllle,
Member Of the House moved that e General
Dodge and Colonel Rabbitt be considered ,ciM-

The Judges have just drawn their terms Of
office as follows Judge Lowe years, Judge
Baldwin years, and Judge Stockton years
Gosernor Lowe will therefore be Chief Justice.
Some wag-1 think John Jones-suggests that
Baldwin's great weight will up-tM the Bench ~
understand Lew Kinsey viii be re-appointed
CLERK, but who will be Reporter is as yet un-
certain.

which was referred to the Committee on Charita-
BILE Institutions s I|J
Mr. Caldwell introduced resolution to print
the usual number of the Governors Message and
the Inaugural, Oh which Claggett made a flaming
spee ch, misreprescnting most palpaby the posi-

be bad, but l think Claggett shows himself to
be destitute both of ability and common hon
