 The Action of the Senate in the Vote | for United States Senator Renders Joint Assembly Necessary To-day-l The JudSeships and County Com- | mfssfoners-Other Business. HARTFORD, Jan. IA Especial 1.-The e1- ,itement over the appointment of county and judges of the minor courts of the state continues unabated, and the members of the assembly will probably do very little regular business until these nominations are disposed of.
 The republicans held caucus after the today for the purpose of framing some plan of agreement with the democrats concerning the appointment of county commissioners, but no conclusion was reached. As regards the New Haven juigeships for the city court it now looks as if Judge Pickett would be re elected judge, with Hon. David Callahan as assist ant judge. Although Senator Fox has not, as has been stated, en- tered into any of the numerous reported combinations, he Is being re- quested by many leading members of the bar to take the position of city attorney, Senator Fox's friends are urging this office upon him, he being eminently qualified for the place, and urge that as he was the last democrat to hold this office, he should again fill it, if the appointment goes to the democrats. Attorney Dow will probably become again assistant city attorney, with the present clerk, Attorney Bishop, as clerk. The assistant clerk, who will be . democrat, will probably be either Attorney Philip Pond, 2d, or Attorney George W. Robinson, 8 son of Professor William c. Robinson, of the Yale law school.
 HAS regards the election of United States senator, both bodies of the general assem- ply took ballot at noon, which resulted in no election, the senate being tie. This makes 1t necessary to ballot in joint as- sembly to- morrow, when unless the un- expected happens, General Hawley will be elected ss United States senator
