The Albany Deadlock.

ALBANY, July 9th.-In the Joint Conven-
tion to-day Astor explained that the reason
he and Others refused to enter tie conference
yesterday was that they had determined not
to enter any snap conference like that. If
the two men nominated were elected it would
throw the House of Representatives into
the hands of the Democrats. He voted for
Conklng.
Mccarthy argued that a majority had the
right to call caucus, and it was the duty
of the Legislature to fill vacancies in the
Senate,

Congressman could not be voted for at a
special election.
