Senates to pass the dav in wrangling over who. should be the President of that body. The minority held out as the ' day 'be fore, voting nine-for Carter. Aftera few ballots in tbe morning, the Senate adjourned till 2 o'clock. It became known to the Carter men that Senator Squire Farrar of this county, - had felt tbe pressure of his constituents ; and that he intended to vote with the majority, he seeing the futility of fur ther backing the Senator from Jackson There was no doubt at all that if. Sen ator Farrar were to east his vote for Senator Kuykendall, that. the matter so long pending would be settled and it was the intention to take a ballot im mediate.lyafter dinner yesterday, but , rumors fame to the leaders of the Kuy j kendall forces that a couple of their supporters w ve apt to make a break away " from their candidate, and there fore there was bo objection on the part of -either party to a motion for a recess. A short time after the first recess was , called it became evident that a settle ment of the difficulties was about to be made and" one recess after another-was railed, until at 5 o'clock the session fi nally got together for the final ballot which resulted in the election of Sen ator Kuykendall as President of the Senate. The result met with general satisfac tion and the feeling was that the prop er thing -was done by all those who bad been hoblinar out. Their" final action KepuDiican u tneir nrst was not. The Senate after adjournment arrang pel for a caucus of the Republican Sen ators to nominate minor officers of that l6lv and the final organ izatitui of that body will occur this morning.

Terrell, of Mar ion count v, sereeant at arn:, and Wil liam Smith, of Clackamas county, door keeper,, The pages for the Senate will be nominated by the President when the bodv convenes in the mornln-g. The proceedings ,of the eaueus passed ffwitJi a noticeable absence of fric- fion and the selection of the above can didates' for the .positions caused no dis agreements or wranglings whatsoever, as their choice was unanimous in each instance. The caucus lasted about one hmir. The selection of these men as sure their election. The Election of .President. Immediately after, the caucus be tween the Carter and, Kuvkendall fae-1 tions yesterday afternoon, the members j repaired to the Senate Chamber.
