CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION SACHUSETTS. SPRINGFIELD, Jan, 15, 1875. The election in the Tenth Congressional district to-day, to choose a successor to fill out the unex- pired term of the 1ate Alvah Crocker, of Fitchburg, Grew out a small vote, less than half that polled at the November election, which resulted in the choice of Professor J. H. Secleye, of Am- herst College. Returns from a majority of the towns show the election of Charles A. Stevens, of Ware, who was the defeated republican candidate in the Seeleye canvass, Four candidates were voted for—Mr. Charles A. Stevens, of Ware, republican: Lafayette Maltpy, of Northampton, independent reform; Professor Stock>ridge, of Amherst, a granger, and Henry M. Barleigh, of Athol, democrat. The total from thirty-two togyns gives Stevens 2,278; Maltby, 582; Stockbridge, 384, ana Burleigh, 2,081. Mr, Ste- vens’ majority will probably be doubled in the sinall towns yet to be heard from. Little interest was shown in the election except by Mr. Stevens’ personal friends and the demo- crats, the latter working industriously for Mr. Burleigh. IN MAS- | OBITUARY. HON, GARNET M'MILAN. Hon.

KERNAN FOR SENATOR, Exciting Debate at the Democratic Caucus Yosterday, Senator Jacobs and Tam- many Hall. A Division on Open and Se- ceret Ballot. i Mr. Kernan Nominated by Seven- ty-seven Votes. Signal Defeat of Henrv C. Murphy: ALbany, Jan. 15, 1875. The United States Senatorial contest here ts virtually settled, This aiternoon the democratio caucus was heid tn the Assembly chamber. The proceedings commenced at four o’clock and the final result was not reached until eight Three o'clock found the galleries of the chamber and lobbies of the Capitol leading thereto filled. Mem- bers of Assembly and Senators participating were also early in attendance. By the time the caucus ‘was called to order by Senator Jacobs further in- gress became-tmpossible. Old politicians here to-night State that they do not recollect ever being present at @ political gathering of similar import where so much inter- est was exhibited, Admission was obtained through tickets signed by Senator Jacobs, of Kings, and Assemblyman Waenner, of New York, of the Joint Caucus Committee. Seventy-iour Assemblymen and thirteen Senators answered the roll call. In addition to the privileged persons present on the floor were several politicians from New York city and different parts of the State, Among the famillar faces were recognized Secretary of State Willers, H. J. Ti!den (brother of the Governor), Congressman Bliss, Thomas Kin- sella, General Slocum, Commissioner Wheeler and William ©. Kingsley, of Brooklyn; ex-Sheriff O’Brien, General F. B, Spinola and Judge Dennis Quinn, of New York; Joseph Warren, of Bufalo; Henry Richmond, son of Dean Richmond, and others, who occupied seats on the floor. ‘When Senator Jacobs called the caucus to order there came @ hush of expectancy. The peculiar rumors floating around during the last few days led many to believe that a close contest might become a very decided wrangle. Senator Lauing, of Buffalo, elected to fill the unexpired term of the deceased Senator Ganson, presided over the caucus with dignity. His aa- dress urged harmony of action as the best guar- antee for the choice of @ proper candidate. came the anticipated and much talked of motion made by Mr. S. H. kammond, of Oneida, of a viva voce vote, Here was the frebrand which occupied the attention of the caucus in debate for three long hours. The Kings county delegation, how- ever, were evidently prepared for this event. Senator Jacobs rose immediately and offered an amendment to the effect that the caucus proceed in the usual form, and the im- passioned speech which he delivered tn support of bis argumerts exhibited good judgment and re_ search. His attack on the Tammany dictation Then | policy was received with applause trom a part o! | the assemblage, particularly his assertion. that boundless power 18 always followed by boundless corruption. He had hoped the influence of Gov- ernor Seymour would have been thrown in favor of party usuges. The principle of the secret bal- lot, ne contended, was right, and had been supported vy both parties. His allusion to precedents in tne election of Silas Wright in 1843, the contest between Dix ana Dickinson in 1845, the Seward battle and on other similar occasions, were very happy, and if addressed to a general auaitory instead of a party of oficial gathering would have worked very effectuaily in favor of the speaker’s side of the question. He levelled severe blows at the Tammany delegation and claimed an earnest desire to break the chain that bound them, he knew the gentlemen too well not to believe that its yoke galled them to their hearts’ core. He wished it put on record that if John Kelly owned the city of New York he did not own the Legisiature of the State. This attack on the leader of Tammany raised the ex- citement to fever heat, and atone time it was feared personal altercation might result from the controversy, Each gentleman irom vne New York Gelegation evidently, felt that ne had an opportanity of defending the leader | fixed upon us at this moment, and want to know ; House, to repel this accusation. A more bigh- over vivd voce, because it was rignt and proper, 1 went4p for Francis Kernan, and in five minutes tps Assembly chamber was cleared, THE PROCEEDINGS. ALPANY, Jan, 15, 1875. The democratic legislative caucus to nominate a candiaate for United States Senator in place of R. E. Fenton, whose term expires on the 4th of March next, met in the Assembly chamber at a quarter past four P, M, to-day. The lovbies were thronged with citizens, Senator Jacobs nominated Senator A. P. Laning as Chairman, which was agreed to. Senator Lanne thauked the caucus and stated the object of the meeting, saying that for the fist time in six years @ man who was in favor of Constitutional and representative government was to be elected. On motion of Mr. WazEHNER, Messrs, Faulkner and Schenck were appointed secretaries, Mr. HAMMOND moved that the caucus proceed to the election of a candidate for United States Senator viva voce, Hé said be nad im caucus for Speaker made @ similar motion, but it was ob- Jected to as unusual, and bis motion was voted down. This was, however, the course pursued at the last Joint caucus for United States Senator. It was the most simple gnd effective way. SENATOR JACOBS AND TAMMANY, Senator Jacozs (dem.) moved’ to amend by pro- ceeding to a ballot according to democratic usages in caucuses like this. He was surprised at tne Proposition made. He would not have been sur- Prised some weeks ago at @ proposition to take away irom democrate the protection of the baliot, but he aia not believe that now any general orders trom @ society in New York would be av- tempted to be carried out here. He reierred to the action of Governor Tilden in breaking down the power ofa society which had done so much to the damage of the democratic party, The pres ence of ex-Governor Seymour in this city had led him to believe tuat he would sanction and uphold democratic usage. He was in favor of tne ballot } and because we will get tae untrammelied vote of the voters, instead 01 the dictation vi any political society. lt would require bu gieat streted of im. agiuation to believe that a Goveruor might use nia power to secure the election of a favorite or himself as @ Senator, Against undue influence of. this sort the baltot attoras pro- tecuon. Again, @ great political organ.zatio: like that im New York, migit do likewise ‘Tuis usurpation uas always been hateiul to the cuuntry democracy. Staud by the balot, aud ail will result as it should. ‘he people had given this duty to ther representatives, and tuey must, | therefore, do as their coustituents would. As to the usage ol the party, he weut baok to i843, and read the recard of the party in tuese matters at | that lime, Notwithsvanding there was no cand- date opposed to Silas Wright, the leaders ol i party said, “Let us adnere to the party usage and | bave a baliot,”’ In 1845, Horatio Sey mous, aitaougo a viva voce vote Was proposed, oppused it, and a ballot was had. Ib 1807, for the drst me, a viva vace vote ‘was had, but then the democracy were in power in the uational goveru- ment, and it was deemed advisable to depart irom usage for certain reasons; but now tuere ure special reasons why a ballot shouid be taken, Several weeks ago a democratic Cuucus was neid 1p New York city, at which uone but New York city democrats were aliowed to be present. At that caucus candidates were named, and amoug them that jor United States Senator. Now, he wanted to break this chalu wuich galls even tne democratic representatives here trom that city. He wanted to ovreak tng dictation by a po- litical organization, and he appeaied to the democracy of the country to aid him in it He said if this was not done, the democracy might as well, here and now, Jicid up the power Wuich the people stand ready 1o puc in its hands. He had been a member of this Legisia‘ure tor nine years. He nad in these years seen the time when certaio men could walk | in bere and say they Owned the Legisiature situng here. He never wanted to see thut time again | While he was here. Now, ue wanted to say that the man wnom he was here to support should not tarnish hisame, If there iy @ man Who has the Jeast patriotism in his heart, he will say to Joun Kelly, li he does own New York ne dves notown tus Leuisiature. He knew Mr. Kelly, and asa) man he respected him; but he must know that as | representatives We must discharge our duties our- eelves, Adu not delegate them to any one else, JOHNSON DEFENDS TAMMANY. Mr. JOHNauN (vem.) did nu> agree with the | | gentleman when he said no man with patriotism could reject the baliot ior a viva voce vote, He be- lieved the viva voce vote was democratic usage or no usage. The geutieman said it was without precedent, aud yet in his. record he found two | recedents jor it, Kach representative, ne oe- lieved, was prepared to vote lor his candidate, and he did not velieve he woud rise in nis place and name @ man Whom he did not think ought to be elected. Asto the order rejerred to he had read i but thought it was merely a sugges- e also believed that if ~~ mem- looked on this oruer as dictation be has the Intelligence und courage to resist it. As to the caucus alluded to, why it was but reagouaole that those geutiemen should get together and consult and learn who Were the best Tepresentative men for them to support. ‘Tors was done ali over the State, iu every county, and it Was perfectly natural lor the caucus, 01 Consulla- lion alluded to, to agree upon the one man who had been named ali over the State by the press aud by the democracy for the position of United States senator. He said bis constituency was eu. titied to kuow how he voted on this as well as ail other questions, The peovie bave their attention u what we are duing. Thereiore he was in favor of @ viva voce vote. THE SPEAKER TAKES THE FLOOR, Mr. MoGuise said he regretted that he felt it his duty to say a word on this question. It had been seut abroad that this Legislature, especialiy the Assembly, was saci @ corrupt and venal bouy of Men that it cannot be trusted with the vallot. It Was bis duty, then, ag presiding officer of this | minded and incorruptible body of men never be- and dispenser of patronage irom Tammany’s | gates. Those who could talk themselves freely of the privilege, and put Mr. Kelly on a pedestal higher than Trinity churcn steeple. I have heard similar oratorical efforts used in exaltation of Tweed and other notorious members of the Ring when they held similar power. Politicians cringed and fawned here at this caucus to-day under lke inducements, Mr. availed | | Uberti Waehner’s response tv Senator Jacobs was a blow | well and adroitly delivered, He charged that Kings county had a dictator and a ring of its own, and the lieutenants of that clique were there on the floor of the House—alluding to Messrs, Kingsley, Kin- sella, Wneeler and other Brooklyn chiets, The re- tort courteous, with much gall in tt, passed be- tween him and Jacobs, and at one time the gentle- men faced one another a few feet apart in excited debate. The argument of the open voters was perhaps best summarized tn the assertion of Sen- ator Parmenter that the ballot was made for the private individual and the vind voce ior the repre, sentative men. @ vigorous speech also favoring an open ballot. There was comparatively plain sail- ing until Speaker McGuire took the floor and called = attention to the ramors floating around the pariors of the Delavan and flashed through the press of the State and the nation, charging the Kings county delegation with corruption. The gentleman was sorry to say he understood the Iriends of Mr, Kernan had cir, culated some of those reports, The speaker be- leved them entirely groundless, This speech was the signal for another oatburst on the part of Jacobs, an? he denounced in biting sarcasm any such unworthy {mputatton. Senator Fox next took the floor and made a speech in advocacy of Francis Kernan. He concluded with a lauda- tion of the character and abilities of the gentleman he designated “Honest John Kelly.” The allosion brought upon Mr, Fox the dangerous weapons of Senator Jacobs’ irony, The latter facetiously called attention to the vigorous bid which Fox bad made to. get back intov Tammany Hail, afver he had piteously been dragged in the | political gutter for some time. The debate then continued with Senators Lord, Parmenter and Johnson, and Assemblymen Daly, Brogan and Waehner on the side of an open ballot. Senator Jacobs did all the work in deience of the prinetple of secret ballot ana bore tne brunt of the contest with manly and eloquent Speech. Although the fortunes of the day were evidently against himself and his party bis adroit handiing of the question was very able. His sug- gestion a3 to an appointment of a committee of | five to examine into the charges of corruption being acted upon a few minutes recess was taken, when Senator Bradley reported as chairman that there was not the slightest foundation for the | rumors, At the conclusion of the debate a vote was taken on the resolution of Mr. Hammond, when the open baliot cause won by & vote of 76 to 13, This was a positive test of the strength of the Kernan and Murphy interests. A subsequent bal- lot for candidates in nomination gave Kernan 77, Murphy 9 and Hoffman 1. The nomioation being made unanimous cheers Jore assembiea here, ‘1ue people, by an unprece- dented majority, bad sent this body here, and yet, before We are here @ week, we are charged with being cor:upt. What is the reasun ior tuist He had no knowledge of any such dictation as had been re‘erred to by the gentleman from Kings (Mr. Jacobs.) He was prepared tuo vote viva voce or vy buliot, He was prepared to voie either way for that enlightened man 0: steriung integrity, Francis Kernan, (Appianse.) He was ready to vote just as this caucus determined. He looked upon the baiot as the safeguard o! our . Ine moment you remove the secrecy srom tae baliot thut moment you endanger our 11- stitutions ana our freedom. it ts said our coustit- ueuts Want to know how we vote. Who asks the question? Has avy man in Chemung asked now | aw going to vote? {1 80 I Know it not; but lam asked tue question in the hotels aud eisewhere by | otwers than by my Cunstivuents, and it 18 also | Known tuat @ junta in New York also wants to | Senator Johnson followed in | | this dictatorial demand? Not av ail. | most effectual way to prove ‘alse this foal and know how each man votes; and why: Let me iliustrate, The men in Chemung decide that I must vote 1or a certain man, and they imiorm me of 10; Say that uniess L so vote my political le 18 at an eud, Now are these my constituents who make | it is voly | four or five men who assume to speak tor my con- stituents. As to precedents ne claimed that they could be Made aud unmade at auy time. It has gone broadcast through the State that the in- judicious iriends of Mr. Kernan have said that this Legislature, or the lower branch of it, was venal and corrupt. They have sent this charge over the State broadcast. But such @ charge would out deter him from doing his duty, and yes can we, with this charge standing against us, gO into a@ second ballot? He thougnt not. He had hoped that some ar- rangement would be made wuich would produce harmony, but this has not been done, He would aud, on the autbority of Mr, Francis Kernan bim- self, that no man more emphaticaily condemned this charge than he, He, theresore, believed tue most unnatural charge was to go into an open vole. He would ve willing to make the ballot precedent, and he hoped @ preambie would be atiacned declaring that such shall be the mode to govern democratic caucuses hereaiter—so far as this caucus can make such a precedent. This, perha;s, would serve to denounce the charge of corruption. THE OPEN VOTE. Mr. HAMMOND disclaimed any knowledge of any charge oi corruption, He had made his motion for a viva voce vote, because it Was, in his opinion, the most convenient mode of proceeding, SENATOR FOX DEFENDS KELLY. * Senator Fox, reterring to the reierences to Tammany Hal and the meeting of the New York deiegation, could not see that in their consulting toge her thes had committed any great sin. If, in their consultation, they should seiect the right man, be himself would put tue collar of Tammany Hali on bis neck and go with them. He then pro- ceeded to defend John Kelly, whom he denomi- nated ‘Honest Joho Kelly.” He deciared that the best man to represent the democratic party of the State of New York in the United States Senate was Francis Kernan, of Oneida. (Applause.) THE POINT OF ORDER. Senator JaAcoBs rose to & point of order, and said the gentleman was not speaking to the question before the caucus, Settle this question, he said, and then let us discuss tue merits of the candidates. FOX RESUMES. Senator Fox said he would come to that, and proceeded to deiend the action of the New York delegation. THE WILL OF THE PARTY. Mr. WARHNER defended the New York delega tion, hurling back the charge that it was uoder the lash Of a master, That delegation recognized no master but the will of the democratic party, Senator Jacobs inquired what cnarge he re- ferred to. Mr. WAKEHNER—The charge of the New York dei egation wearing the collar of a master. Mr. Jacons—OD |! ts that all? Mr. WARHNER—That is all; and I will add that it 1s a well known fact that there 1s a master in Kings yy floor attempting to control the action here on this question. Mr. Jacops—Will the gentleman allow mer it | been maue vy men who are acting under tue dic ‘ that a committee be appointed, to consist of two | the Legislature had made such charges | See fit to violate that confidence. One ot these ' men who made these charges have made them to | trolled this caucus, could not elect its local candi- such ts the fact it ts the first time tt was acknowl- edged by 8 New Yorker that there was Drains in Kings county. ° Mr. WaEHNEB responded, He remembered that when, two yeurs ago, something Of this sort was said the geotlema, was ‘chairman of the Commit. tee of Ways and Means. He can now, if ne sees ft, measure his own merits in that respect, (Laugnter.) THE GENTLEMAN WITH BRAINS, Mr. Jacovs—I would inform the gentieman that when I spoke of braing I had no reierence to him. (Contunued laugnter.) Mr. HaMMOND offered an amendment in the shape Of a preamble to nis re: on, providing | that viva voce voting shall hereaiter be the mode of selec' ing candidates in democratic caucuses, Senator RaY questioned the propriety o1 this caucus attempting to make such a precedent. Senutor LoRD advocated the viva voce propost | tion as being most democratic,” and aot because | Jonn Kelly or John somevody else dictated it, He also denounced all charges of corruption as false, Senator JoHNson said the proposed preamble Was not now in order, Mr. HAMMOND then withdrew the preamble. Senator BRapLRY did not know of any rule or | any precedent to govern this caucus, but le did | kuow his convictions were that the only true way | to take this vote was by @ viva voce vole, He | spoke at sume length in advocacy of that mode a3 @ matter of pritfeiple. HOKATIO SEYMOUR NAMED. Senator PakMéNTER, alter alluding to the fact that he had hoped that Horatio seymour would accept this place, expressed uiumself in iavor of a viva voce vote. Senator Cor advocated the ballot. Mr. BroGan deienaed John Kelly from the charges made against him and aiso the New York delegation, Mr, DaLy also at some length defended the New York delégation. JACOBS ATTACKS TAMMANY AGAIN, Senator Jacoss, alter saying thut when the time came, 1 it did come to-night, to speak of Mr. Kernan, no man, even from New York, wouid pay i @ higher trioute to the ability and integrity of that | gentieman than he, referred to the remarks of Speaker MeGu:re, That gentleman, a ter extoiung | the sacredness of the ballot, had deciared { that im cousequence: o! rumors of corruption he felt tt his duty to go back on all that sacredness, @ll the hivh principles tnvoivea in the oullot, This surprised him, He never believed that Jeremian McGuire, Known througaout the State for is hon. esty aud integrity, would do that. Mr, Jacobs then took up each of the speakers who had fol- lowed him—Jobnson, Fox and Waehner—charging them with a tack of independence and witn being under the influence of Tammany Hall, He said, with much emphasis, that two members of tus Caucus hud sent broadcast eharges of corruption against the friends of Mr. Murphy. | He had declared that if 1t could be shown that | Mr. Murphy or his friends had made any corrupt- ing approaches to any ove ve would himsell come to-night and nominate Francis Kernan, He had Suid this to Speaker McGuire. He woud, he said, remind them that some gentlemen bad reputa- tions to sustain as well as others. Why were | these charges sent forth? Was it to aifect Mr. Murphy’s chunces of @ choice? Was it to frighten | men wno wanted to vote tor him from doing so? He said it was aue to Mr. Murphy and his triends to kuow that such charges bad been made, ‘and tauon of tammany Hall, SPEAKER M’GUIRE REPLIES. Mr. McGuire, in response, said tere nad been no charge of corruption made in this caucas agatust any member of this caucus either irom Kings county or elsewhere. These charges were made tn the bewspapers, and be did nos beleve there Was any truta in these charges. Mr. Jacops—If the gentieman did not believe there Was any truth in these charges, why does ue | violate a principle to disprove them ? | Mr. MCGUIRR thousnt be had made himself ; understood. What he had said was that in view ol these reports being current 1m the State he was ready to go into &b open ballot, a vivd voce vote, | so that the reports reierred to might be | effectually dissipated, Hts disposition here now was to act iD BucD @ Manner as to give satis. | faction to the democracy of the State and con- lound tts enemies, He had made efforts to secure | harmony, but they had failed, and now he had | only to act tor the best tatereste of the party. 4 COMMITTEE ON FRAUDS. On Senator Jacobs stating that the Kings county delegation desired, whatever the result might be, toat there should be an iuvestigation as to the truth of these charges of Jraua, he moved Senators aud three members o! the Assembiy, te investigate the charges, The motion was carried, and Senators Loid and Bradley and Kepresenta- | -tuves Scuuyler, Oakiey and Mackin were announced | as such comiittee. | REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE, i The committee retired and soon returned, when-| Senator BkavLeY stated the committee found | vhere was no foundation for any) such charges against the Brookiyn delegation; and that what | ever charges have been made Were made vy other than democrars, | KINGS COUNTY DEFENDED. Mr. Jacops said that a dist uisued member of | the Legisiatu.e tad told him that two peat bere of | asked him it ue imtended that his miormation shoula oe private, He said it was, and theresore | do not | members bad come to him and said he had | Merely repeated rumors; and yet, fo:lowing | the Speaker, we are to vivlate @ principle | and precegent to wipe out taese. unfounded Cuarges., Now, ifthere is po foundation in these charges why not give us the bailot as formerly? To say that we cannot have the ballot is to say that there has been merchandise iu the matter. The Intumidate the members here. What harm can de done? You «ive us the ballot and you satisty the | people that you have confidence in the iriends of | One Of the candidates. fo refuse the bailot you suy you have no confidence in them. [t will’ be chatged that, in retusing tuis ballot, 1t was seared the members bad been purchased. They wili say, if were a member of the Legislature | would in- | sist upon this right to tne ballot im the face of the terror raised against me. Yes, said ne, Kings county gave @ majority of 13,000, and elected all the democratic cand i- dates, and yet anotoer county, in which there 1s an organization, which, it seemed to oim, con- | dates, The sormer county comes here with a can- didate the peer ol! any man who can be named here, and she 1s denied the poor privilege of an honest ballot in Waich there can be no intimida- | tion, He warned gentlemen to remember thaf in doing this they do it to please whom they will learn to hate, and whose organization they wii come to despise. Tne report of the committee was received and the comuittee dischargea, THE BALLOT REJECTED. The question was then taken on Sevator Jacob’s Motion tv nominate by ballot, anu it was re- jected—yeas 13, nays 94. Messrs. Oakley, Ransom, Schuyler, Scudder and Stephens, from districts outside oi Kings county, voted in the atirmative. Mr. Bradiey, of Kings county, votea in the negative. The quesjion was then taken on Mr. Hammond’s motion ‘for viva voce humination, and it Was carried without a | discussion. KERNAN NOMINATED. R. M, SHERMAN, in a brie! address extolling the character of Francis Kernan, put him in nomina- tion, aud applause, Senator BRADLEY Seconded the nomination, and | also eulogized the nominee. JACOBS NOMINATES MURPHY. Senator Jacoss, attef aeprecating ‘he position taken by the caucus, which he said memoers would to-morrow regret, declared tnat the gen- tleman named for this bigh position would re- ceive a8 Warm a support irom the Kings county deiegation as irom any other. Kings county was | the same, 80 Jar as the piincipies of the demo- | cratic party are concerned, in the momen: of de- teat a8 sbe Was in the hour of victory. He tnen proceeded to eulogize Henry U. Murphy, and ap- pealed to the caucus to vote for him, declaring that if the Kings county delegation stood alone it | would vote jor Henry C. Murphy. 1 Mr. R, M. SHERMAN presented the resolutions | adopted by the democrats of Broome county, urging the nomination of Francis Kernan, and they were read as that county had no represen- | tative in the caucus.
