ALABAMA LEGISLATURE.
Organization Of the Senate-HOW ii was
Enected-The "WOOIlies" some.
what ObstreperOus--Ex-
citing Scenes.

MONTGOMERY, December 19.-Tbe
Senate yesterday organized permanent
ly, and elected Democratic officers. The
Northumberland announced that
the Senate, being duly organized, was
ready to transact business.
This early organization was brought
about by the mutual consent of both
parties in the Senate, by which the cleo
ton of Democrat from one district and
q Republican from another We're perma-
nently settled, and one Republican and
one Democrat were permitted TO contest
their seats in the usual way.
A message was sent TO the House an
nOuncing the permanent organization
of the Senate.
In the House subpoena duceS tecltDl
were ordered and motion submitted to
allow certified members from Ma
rengo to enroll their names on the jour-
nal as such.
This was furiously opposed by
the coloTed members, but prevailed.
The Republicans in their caucuses last
night and to-day showed some inclina-
ton to disorganize the Senate, by deny
ing on the floor of the Senate its right to
organize permanently on any other
DdSlS Ildu Ou u SlIlCL anu UDcIdl COLu pr
ance with the terms proposed by Attor-
ney-General Williams.
The Lieutenant-GOvernor attempted
TO adjourn the Senate without vote,
but the Democrats denied his right to do
so, and insisted on leaving the question
to a vote, which was had, and the Sen
ate adjourned till afternoon, when the
committee was appointed to hear and
determine contests.
In the House the Republicans would
not permit the journal to be read. They
insisted on sdjOurning Immediately after
the roll was called, and carried the point.
They have not abandoned their Court
house organization, but meet there each
morning and legislate until twelve
O'Clock, and then go to the Capitol and
assemble in a temporary organization
with the Democrats. The latter meet
only in a temporary organization,
marked out in the Attorney-G Generals IS
proposition.
1t is feared that the Republicans con-
template Withdrawing from the tempo
rary organization and establishing a
separate organization.

kinds of par value, S9,00O,000, worth at
the market price over s., 900, 900. One
condition of the settlement is said to be
that he is to have the first market bid
for 200, 200 shares of Erie stock here and
in London, which he is now believed to
control. Erie and Pacific Mail were the
center of interest, and were very active.
The former advanced from SO to 571,
closing at 57g. The advance was based
on the settlement Of the cOmpany's suits
with Gould. Fluctuations were wide and
frequent. Pacific Mail opened at Sl4,
advanced to S23, but finally declined to
763. In other stocks there was an early
advance of 491 per cent, which was

A Mrs. Charles Boone, Of Macon,
Georgia, recently attempted suicide by
cutting her throat, driven thereto by
the death of a beloved brother. He-
condition is considered extremely criti-
cal, as she has not tasted food for a
week, but the physicians are using eve
" endeavor within their power to adopt
some means by which the Cravings of
hunger may be allayed. On Saturday
number of physicians attempted to
insert a glass tube in her throat, and al
though she was firmly held, she man
aged to free one of her hands and jerk
the tube out. The Enterprise, from
which we CLEAN the above par
ticulars has the following Won
derfuI statement: "The vocal
chords are silent, consequently
no intelligent sound or word viii prOba-
bly, ever be uttered by her again. She
cannot eject the sputa and morbid Sc
cretions from her mouth and throat,
hence there is a constant dread OF suffO-
cation. She failed to cut the nerve OF
taste, and therefore Graves for food, as
she is hungry; she calls for something
to cool her thirst and for something to
eat, but she is unable to swallow. If
she sips little ice-water, il glides over
her parched tongue mechanically and
out OF the wound in her neck, which
affords her no relief She is thus tantal
lied from day to day. She often eX-
claims: am hungry" f" am staTv-
ing,u but the little muscles which con-
vey the savOry food into the phGTyVlr
are paralyzed, and she cannot swallow.
