son, Assistant Clerk; J. T. Ford, En-
rolling Clerk; G. p. Church Engross.
ing Clerk; D. B. Hanna, Sergeant-at-
Arms; and Mr.. DeLashmutt door
keeper. All the above officers were
then sworn in by the Secretary of
State.
Mr.. Dolph, of Multnomah, having
persistently attempted to vote, de-
spite the mandates of the Senate to
the contrary, Mr.. Huston, of Lane,
in the afternoon, offered the following
Resolution, which was adopted:
ResoEred, That tho Clerk be directed to pre-
pare two ballots, containing the namo Of ].
N Dolph, and the other containing tho name OF
d. Powell and place tho same in box. That af-
ter well shaking the box he shall draw therefrom
Of said ballots, and the person whose name
Is written thereon, shall be declared the Senator
from Multnomah. whose term Of Office will expire
at tho June election in 1870 and the person whose
name Is on the ballot not drawn, shall be declared
the Senator from Multnomah. whose term Of oficc
expired at the June election in the year 1868.
Pending the adoption of this Reso-
luton the previous question was
moved, which had the effect to stop
further debate and kill several big
radical speeches that had been pre-.
pared for the occasion. The Clerk
proceeded to draw, and ID. Powell was
drawn for the long term which ex-
pires in 1870. So Dolph was left ont
IN the cold, and the country is thus
rid, for the present Mt least, of
noisy, unscrupulous, blatant dema-
gogue. We wish him much JOY in
his retirement to the shades of pri-
vate life. He can now ride Govern
ment mules at leisure.
The House today also effected n
permanent organization, by electing
John Whiteakcr, of Lane, Speaker,
by the following vote:
Alexander. Of Linn. Beers, Bryant, Benson.
Butler Chapman. Cox. Crooks, Davis, Cray. Gil
fry, Grant, johnson, Kirk, Louden, Neal, Powell.
Rinehart Ryan, Smith. Sites, Scoggins, Tandy,
Townsend, White. Waymiro.
GAzLEY, Is.-Alexander, of Benton, Appiegate,
Bensell, Burnett. Brown. Davenport. Denny. Elook
Garrett. Hoxter. jackson, Llehtenthaier, Minto.
Pendergast, Simpson, Trullinger. Taylor, White
aker.
Blank. I.-GaEley.
1t will be seen that Gov. Whitcaker
voted for his opponent; but Galley
did not return the compliment. 1t is
another instance of the folly of cast
ing pearls before swine.
w. J.. White of Clackamas was
then elected Chief Clerk; Mr.. More
land, of Benton, Assistant Clerk; F..
+. Tirk, Engrossing Clerk II. II.
Abbott, of Linn, Enrolling Clerk; \.
NJ. Synder, of Multnomah, Sergeant
alarms, and o. ii. Smith, door-kccp-
er.
1t will thus be seen that both
Houses arc now organized and ready
to proceed to business. They have n
good working majority in both
branches, and have the power,-and
will exercise ito pass good laws,
unless the Governor should resort to
the veto power too freely. If he at
tempts thus TO block the wheels OF
legislation, it is not at all improbable
that lie, too, will be unccremoniously
elected from Office; for there is no
doubt in my mind that he holds his
seat by trickery and fraud and that
the Legislature have the right to re-
move him and place Col. Kelly in his
place. lie would do well to keep his
eye peeled or this will be done.
