ALBANY, Jan. S-Midnight
Once 1t became known that the plans OF Murphy
and his followers had been successful in bringing
about harmony, all excitement about the Senatorial
question subsidized, and at the appointed time this
evening the two houses met in joint caucus.
Murphy took seat in the body OF the room, where
he could command q good view OF the faithful,
and made his way to the Speakers platform, where
he ensconced himself snugly on the steps. There
was
