The seat of SAMUEL Cole, Union, in the
18th Senate District, is contested by JAMES
H. EARNEST, Democrat, on the ground, main
ly, of illegalities of the soldiers vote.
In the Northwestern Assembly district,
composed of Ashland and the neighboring
counties, we learn that Mr.. GRAY, Democrat,
has the certificate of the local canvassers,
given on the basis of returns from only one
part of the district, while the full returns
show that STUNT, Union, is entitled to the
seat.
In the Assembly district composed of Mar
athon and Wood counties, where there was a
triangular fight, ii. w. REMINGTON has GER
tifeate of election, based on returns from
only one of the counties, but III. j. McRAITH
is really elected and will doubtless obtain
the seat. Both are democrats.
In the Union Senatorial caucus Tuesday
evening, FRANK N. STEWART, of Sank, was
re-nominated Chief Clerk, and NELSON VIII
LIANs, of Dane, Sergeant-at-A Arms by unani-
nous vote on the first ballot
In the Assembly Union Caucus. Hon. w.
W. FIELD, of Grant, was unanimously re-nom-
mated Speaker, and JOHN S. DEAN, of Dane,
Chief Clerk, by acclamation. Hon. A. VII
cox, of Sank, was nominated for Sergeant-at-
Arms, bv vote of ~ to 20 for J. r. CROSBY,
of Jefferson.
The following resolutions were adopted:
Resolref, That the Union members of the As
semhIy respectfully request the elective officers
| ed and wounded soldiers who have been honorably
discharged from the service of the United States
ProUIded, they are capable of diseharsing the du-
/ ties of the stations they aspire to.
Resolvtd That it is the of this caucus, that
in the appoint of the various assistant officers
of the Assembly, not more than one appointment
/ should be made from the same county, to the ex-
clusion Of candidates from other counties who may
be equally well qualified to discharge the duties oil
| the Office.
The Senate was organized by the re-elec
ton of the popular and efficient officers Of
last session, +. N. STEWART, of Sank, as Chief
| Clerk, and NELSON WILLIAMS, of Dane, as
Sergeant-at-Arms, high and deserved com
| plment. The vote was 20 for STEWART, to
for D. w. MAxoN, DEM, and % for VII
LIAMs to for ]. II. EARNEST, Dem.
The venerable and experienced presiding
officer, 1t. Gov. SPooNER, made the follow
ins appropriate remarks on the completion Of
the organization:
/ Gentlemen Of the Senate: quorum OF your
| body is present, and legally qualified to act, by
| having taken and subscribed the oath prescribed
by the Constitution and it is competent for you
to proceed to perfect your organization by the
1t becomes my duty, ez-ctfeiO, to preside at your
sittings. My experience, as presiding officer o.
seif.distrust which might other wise Justly in
dulge in the prospect of encountering those diff
: eultes which are supposed ordinarily to cluster
4 around the Chair.
Once and again have 1 been associated with
many of those who now fill the seats ON the ioor
of this chamber, in the relative positions which
now occupy and having witnessed how keenly
slive they have ever been to the obligation their
| position imposes, to preserve the honor of the
i state and of their immediate constituents their
own self-respect, and the self-imposed rules, en-
acted for the government of the deliberations OF
the Sena e, feel assured that the maint enance OF
| decorum and becoming dignity of procedure will
require little more of your President than the dis
| charge of nominal duties. And in the assurance
that the spirit of the past will be exhibited in
| the action of your honorable body during the
present session, take the chair, relieved of that
| apprehension which consciousness of my ina
bility properly to fill would otherwise occasion,
with the only pledge can give you, that, in far
as 1 may be called to administer parliamentary
law, il will be my effort to give to the law a fair
| construction and an impartial application.
In the Assembly, Hoa. w. w. FIELD, of
Grant, who presided over that body at the
last session with so much credit to himself
and advantage to the State, has been re-elect-
ed by the unanimous choice of the Union

served than it is flattering The vote was 65
