The views . asenator respecting the cleo
ton of officer at that body at the coming
session are as follows: The senate
will contain seven new members
who were not a party TO the old eau
Gus, so that they will not feel bouzd by its
decision. A new caucus will therefore be
held by the republicans and democrats, too,
for the matter. and the decision of this eau.
Gus will be soguesed in by all. Interest at.
taches alone TO the republicans, they being
in the majority. The r publican caucus
will probably nominate Col. George Hook
er for sergeant at arms, George q. GOrham
for secretary, and James r. Young for exc
cutive clerk. There is believed to be no
foundation for the reports which have been
suTrent TO the effect that two or three sena-
tors will not vote for GOrham for secretary.

added something to the useful information
OF community that thrives by trading.
