TRENTON, N. j., April 3.-This morn
ing the resolution to go into a joint
meeting with the House of Assembly
to elect United States Senator again,
came up in the New Jersey Senate.
Senator Scovil addressed the Senate at
length, declaring that he could not sur
render his position without dishonor,
and that he would adhere to it to the
end. a vote to go into joint meeting
was then taken and lost by 10 to 8.
Two Senators were absent who would
have voted against the resolution
When the result was announced there
were misses in the Hobbies and the
greatest excitement prevailed. Senator
Scovil in his speech was particularly
severe upon Messrs. Cattel and Robin
son, of Camden, denouncing them as
having fourished and grown rich upon
the sutTerings OF the people in the recent
civil war. He offered to vote for any
man who entertained the views that he
did. He was not urging his own cleo
ton. He did not want the position
himself, but he never could and never
would submit to the dictation of any
party CLIQUE,
