Large Arrival ofLobbyists-The New Ha-

ness in Both Houses.
HARTFORD, Jan. 81.
Especial to the JOURNAL AND Coun1ERl
Another large influx of New Haveners was
apparent to-day, both of the morning trains
bringing number of these gentlemen. The
interest to-day, as yesterday, eentered prin-
cipally on the City Court judgeship, although
the noon train brought several gentlemen in
terested in other matters. The early morn
ing train was considerably behind owing to
the delay i'll waiting for the Middletown
train at Berlin, and when the members of the
''third'' house arrived business was proceed
ing and but little opportunity was offered
for "buttonholing." just previous to the
adjournment of the House Judge Harrison
announced that Immediately after adjourn
ment caucus of the Republican portion of
the New Haven county members would be
held. Then all was hustle and hurry hither
and thither, and the friends of the several
candidates began to put in their work in
earnest. Members as they emerged from the
House were surrounded and were appar emily
at the mercy Of the lobbyists. The merits
and dement's of the several candidates were
painted in glowing colors. But their time
was limited, and running the gauntlet the
gentlemen from New Haven county sought
safety and quiet in the ante-room of the
House. The door was locked against all in
truders, and those who were to decide who was
to hold the scales Of justice in hand in the
New Haven City Court for the coming two
years commenced their deliberations. 1t
was said before the caucus met that no petit
tions would be read and no names be pre-
sented, the matter having been thoroughly
canvassed. Judge Harrison, however, pre-
sented the name of Joseph Sheldon, and Mr..
Thorpe, of North Haven, that of Judge Par
dee. No one presented the name of Hugh,
Daley nor even his petition, which was
signed by a large number of our citizens
An informal ballot was agreed upon and
resulted as follows:

We had quite an exciting time here
Yesterday, a foot race between Gene
Akin and Johnney No,iser for the sum
Of $l37, the boys cleared the track, the
judges were selected, SO bills were
tiourishcd lively, the runners cameon the
track and everything was excitement.
They started at the crack of a pistol,
Akin got the bulge on Nosser and kept
it up to about - yards when he made a
misstep and fell down. Nosser ran on
out and the race was decided in his
favor. Akin's friends were not satisfied
and bet $40 and they ran it over, Akin
winning the race 10y three feet. The
boys are not satisfied yet and probably
will exchange some more money on the
speed of the two boys, they both run Il
good race and both will have fair
shake.

At the appointed time, the Governor
and few of the invited gentlemen ar
rived and gave out that any person in
tercsted in the welfare Of the territory
would have welcome hearing in the
discussion at the meeting. But upon
the arrival of ex Judge Barnes and Geo.
Walsh and some others who spoke for
the people it was readily seen that the
Governor was not anxious to push the
work he pretended to be working for,
hnt preferred to make showing mani,
puate the meeting in an interest to de
lay the matter Of division as long as
possible. We cannot learn of any parti-
cuiar difference of opinion between the
parties as to the mode of securing the
popular convention, ete., fur her than

governor is not, he has a wonderful
solicitude for the welfare of the people.
In other words, he feais that such divi-

likely do. The third-rate ward politi-
elan Of New Hampshire is now govern
