CLERK.-John Fl. Flagg, Esq. received, as
we anticipated he would, the unanimous re-
election to the Office OF Clerk OF the House.
the hearty "aye " when the vote was put, tes-
tifying the high appreciation of lis superior
fitness for the position. BY his energy and
thorough system in performing the dutie o
the office, he has given it more character than
it has had for years before
SENATE--The organization of the Senate,
ike that OF the House, was quite harmonious.
Henry Clark, Esq, was aglin compmented,
as he richly deserved. by an unanimous re-
election His repeated unanimous elections
since 1861, when he WAS first chosen without
his solicitation or knowledge, are the pleasant
evidence of Popularity-a popularity which,
far as the Senate is concerned, is no great
er, simply because that body is no more nu-
merous.
The election of Maj Peck as Assistant Sec
rotary, also by an un unanimous VOTE was AT un.
usual result But the Majors fitness for the
office. his military service, and his popularity
with those who had the pleasure of his person
al acquaintance, were recomme ndations so con-
vincing to prevail upon the minds of every
Senator, and silence all opposition.
SPECIALIZATION. John w. Stewards unan-
imous election to the office of Speaker, was
unusual inasmuch the Dsmocr IS did not
seize upon the occasion 10 show their little
strength and compliment their most prominent
representative. Mr.. Stewards address, on
taking the chair, is a model of neatness and
brevity. His appointments of Committees
give general satisfaction, and in a House
merous as ours, that is the most any Speaker
can do.
The CLExK's DEPARTMENT.-In our legisla-
tive proceedings will be found the appoint
ments of Assistant Clerks. Capt Clark and
Capt. Hartshorn are soldiers, the former serv-
ing IN the 18th Vermont Regiment, and the
latter in the 18th and l7th Regiment. One
OF the clerks to make up the Grand List, 1t.
Joel II. Lucia, served in the l4.h ana 18th
Regiments, and has given one arm to save
the country. Mr.. Dixon assistant clerk, snd
Mr.. Slnborn, clerk to make up the Grand
List, are civilians. The appointments are ju-
dIctious in every respect, Mr.. Flagg having
respect both to the fitness OF the app9intees ior
their dutie5, and the claims of deserving sol-
diers.
