PROCEEDINGS OF THE SENATE

ALBANY. Jan. Q, 1877.
Speaker Sloan entered tho Assembly Chamber this
morning with his coat buttoned tightly around him,
his head we'll thrown back like man who mad done a
great public duty and proud OF it, and joyous
sparkle IN his eye, Of one who had escaped from
heavy burden aud ielt light and free air
more. He had not appeared in public
for several days, and was, consequently, the
observed OF most observers. Tho Chamber
full with medley OF people, for the list of stand
ing committees was expected to be given out, besides
tho appointments for postmaster, assistant sergeans-
at-arms bank messengers, page boys, &c. In all of
those u larger or smaller knot OF people felt
interest Hence tho crowd. Up to the last
moment tho Speaker kept his lips sealed to the
appointments he carried in his pocket. He was
buttonholed and bored and badgered, but he never
budged, and, with the exception of few prominent
members like Hustled, Fish and Strahan nobody knew
exactly whero he stood until the official announce.
ment came from Clerk Johnson's lips.
A MOMENT CONCERN.
1t was a moment OF painfully anxious interest when
the list OF committees handed to the Clerk read
He paused for few moments to obtain a condition of
profound silence. Almost every held his breath
and expanded tho ordco OF his catch the preg-
nant sounds. johnson read tho names in a cold
bloodcd monotone and as he read q smile
here and irown thero might be OBJ
served to pass the faces of the
members. Those who were particularly well pleased
ana those who were particularly disgusted were
to turn at right angles in their chairs and lean their
heads upon their hands-the ono class overcome with
list had been flushed it was clear, in the
language Of Old Prob, that there a storm area"
down In Tom Alvord's neighborhood. Tho reading
over, up rose the Onondaga sage with anything but
lamb!ike look In his eye, and said that who he
tee Apporionmen he must certainly decline to
THE lRREPREssBLE sPINoLA.
FRANK spinoia. who appears to have made up ms ms
mind TO goad poor Alvord TO DEATH said he hoped the
request would not be granted. 'rhe gentleman from
Onondaga," said he, sis too valuable man ana
want him on that committee wnere the vigor of his
intellect will have show. We cannot allow tho gen.
tleman TO resign, and hope the House will vote down
at this moment can be better imagined than described
whole lot but Spinoa appeared to think it the
Dne adapted for Toms ''vg0r OF intellect" Tho
Speaker put the question, and 1t was lost. Old Salt
was about TO make more desperate effort to break
away from the appointment, when Mr.. J. s. Brown,
Of Cayuga caught the Speakers eye and diverted his
Committee on Game Laws because there
trouble in his county about the killing of game, and he
was excused. Then, without pause and without giving
Mr.. Avord a chance say word, the Speaker
plunged right into the business Of reading the rest OF
the appointments.
