Richmond District is 10 be Arranged-Cem-
mit,ee Gone 10 Marylnnd-kstiroad Bills
Disuosed OF by the senate; Disorder In that
Body-Another Allegheny Railroad Bill
Mr.. Lad,,s Bill 90 Give the Governor the
pswer OF Appointing Copruissioners OF
saIes-Notes Of PROCEEDINGS in che House OF
Delegates.
The Regdjusters are in high feather.
They consider the deadlockas good a.
ended. Their reliance Is upon Senator
Hale; but their understanding with him,
like the Graysor, resolutions, are differently
understood by the different parties in in
teresf. Mr.. Hale Ia OF opinion that the ea,l-
Gus altogether mfettered Massey in the
appointment Of clerks; cancus-men say
they did no such thing. Hale will proDa-
bly insist upon his construction, and there
il excellent authority for the belief that II
he does the caucus will yield the point. IL
they do Il will be under the conviction that
after making all concessions they can easily
beat Massey. 1t il incredible, after what
he has published. that Malone VIII allow
him TO be nominated for reelection to the
authorship. However that may be, the
fight Is to come off on Tuesday night next.
Mcssrs. Newberry and Williams did not
attend the caucus Friday night, and knew
nothing OF Mr.. Hale'smovements there I'M
tiI they took up yesterday mornings pa-
pers. Mr.. Lybrook was at the caucus and
made speech, which, without committing
him or associates 10 any positive action,
was in favor OF postponing the whole mat
ter till Tuesday night. BY that time he
hoped an agreement could be arrived at
.by which the authorship nomination might
he fought over and Massey given lair
showing.
The caucus committee appointed to pre-
pare.a plan for redistricting the Stale ior
members of Congress have laid of the
Richmond district as follows: Chesterfield,
Louisa. Henrico, PowhataD, Goochland,
Amelia, Nottoway, and the cities OF Rich-
mond and Manchester.
Norfolk district: southampton. Nanse-
mond, Princess Anne, Accomac, Northamp-
ton, Isle OF Wight, Surry, Elizabeth City,
Warwick, York, Norfolk county. and the
cities OF Norfolk and Portsmouth.
1t Is understood in some quarters tliat
nine districts will be laid of, and in case
the apporti0nment gives us ten mambers
the tenth one will be elected by the state
ut large. The Eighth district is abandoned
to the Democrats utterly.
Senator Atkinson and other members OF
the Joint committee on the Maryland
boundary line have gone TO Baltimore TO
meet the Maryland committee on its way 10
Richmond. Mr.. Atkinson is paired with
Mr.. Mayo.

DISORDER.
Business in the Senate was practically
suspended for half IN hour because OF the
disorder in the chamber. President pro
tenn. Wood did all that he could 10 sup
press IL, but with no great success for \
time. In sheer desperation Mr.. Hurt
moved TO adjourn. Lost. After that there
was a period OF comparative quiet. Senators
moving about from seat to seat and talking
TO friends in the priviledged seats were the
chief cause of the trouble.
