At that hour the Senators filed into the room, headed by Lieutenant Governor Dors- heimer, and took their seats around the Speaker's desk, The galleries were crowded, a large number of ladies being tn attendance, The Lieutenant Governor, as President of the Senate, presided, with Speaker McGuire seated on his left. ‘The Clerk of the Seuate then proceeded to read the minutes of the meeting of that body, where a Seuator had been nominated yesterday.

A RECEPTION TO SENATOR KERNAN, Immediately after the adjournment of the As- sembly Mr. Waehner, of New York, announced that Mr. Francis Kernan was in the building and would goon enter the Chamber to tender his con- gratulations, Shortly alter this announcement the recently-elected United States Senator, ac- companied by Governor Tilden and Lteutenant | Governor Dorsheimer, walked up the centre of the room and was received with cheers and clapping of hands, He ascended the Speaker’s rostrum , and made a very short speech, in which he thanked this Legislature for their support of him, and prom | ised in the furure, in hig new offizial position, to do allin his power for the best mterests of the At the conclusion of his remarks Mr. Kernan syrrounded by the members and submitted to the ual ordeal of handshaking.

All present knew that the struggle was to come on the second ballot. On the announcement of the result the democrats attempted to carry an adjournment; but tne Dawes men, elated with their gatn from 111 votes yesterday to 123, and grown confident of success determined to have another ballot, so they carried a call of the yeas and nays and. voted “down the motion’ to adjourn, and carried a motion jor another ballot, ballot, as on the first Dawes gained again siowly; he had only to gain 12 ‘Votes at the start and when the last name on the list was read he had gained 11 of them.

It 18 @ very common remark that Mr. Kernan was deleated for Governor in 1872 because he 1s a Roman Vathoile, yet there is n0 man in the State more itberal on what are generally assamed to be Catholic questions. In the Consututional Convention be favored the exclusion of sectarian Institutions from State aid, and Jor twenty years he has been a school commissioner in Utica, test{- fymg his faith in the common school system by | sending his own children to tne public schools, His private character and personal integrity are | above reproacn, PENNSYLVANIA—WILLIAM A.
