was the resolution of Mr. bingham, to the
effect that the Senate be informed of the or
sanitation of the House by the election OF
officers, and on this Mr.. Bingham moved the
previous question.
Mr., Wadleigh arose and said that it was the
intention of the minority to extend this mat
ter by debate. and otherwise tn period which
would enable the minority to bring their sick
members, and he proposed to do his part in
the matter. He spoke nearly two hours in
a very rambling manner, and was called to
order when Il motion to adjourn was made
and the roll called. but was not carried.
Then came a motion to allow Mr.. Wad-
leigh to proceed, on which the roll was called
and decided in the negative.
Mr.. Holt of Manchester, followed, and oc-
cuped twenty minutes, and Mr.. Wilson of
keene, occupied fifteen minutes on the same
question.
Mr.. Fletcher of Nashua, moved to adj ourn
to Monday, 4 =. NJ. Defeated, 153 to l51.
Mr.. Ramsdel followed on the question.
The Senate met at 3 o'clock. A resolu-
ton was presented by Mr.. Film, that mes
sage be sent to the House by the clerk, in
forming that body that the Senate is organ
lied by the choice of Hon. Chas. II. Cam
bell for temporary presiding officer, and the
attendance of j. w. Currier Clerk, and
Luther S. Morrill, assistant clerk, and that
a vacancy exists in senatorial district No. !,

There probably never was so small party
Of representatives in any legislative body. In
the House of Representatives there were only
six and some of these have never claimed to
be labor reformers, but were elected on in
dependent tickets, and are simply disaffected
republicans who have considered themselves
agrieved by Mr.. Rollins or some of the lead
ers OF the party. l.. w. Cogswell of Hen
mixer, who was an opposition candidate to his
own brother on the straight republican ticket,
is man of marked ability, who owes his
election to being popular with his constitu-
ents. He is a brother Of Z. b. Cogswell,
one of the editors of the Concord Monitor.
IL 80 p. NJ. A general tillerbustering is
going on in the House with no propect of an
advance tonight. The democrats are abund-
antly supplied from the large hotel with
viands, and the contest may be continued till
morning. There is no prospect Of a ballot
for Governor this week.
