The Hon. Roscor CONXKL of Utica was last evening nominated, after a spitited con- test, by the Republican caucus for U. 8. Sen- ator from this State for six years from the 4th of March next. The opposing candidates were the Hon. Ira Harris, the incumbent, and Judge Noah Davis of Albion, Orleans County—the Jatter being regarded by shrewd observers prior to the balloting as having the better chance of snceess. Mr. Coukling is a son of the Hon. Aurelean Conkling, late U. S. District Judge, and was never, we believe, a eandidate for any office until 1838, when he was chosen to represent the Oncida District in Congress by majority. He was rilected in 1860 by 3,563 majority; but run out in 1862—owing to treachery in the Republican ranks and the absenco of thousands of his comstituents in the ranks of the Union armies—Francis 2,833 Kerman (Dem.) having 98 majority. Uu- dismayed Dby this chec the Repub- licans again presented lim in 1%64; when (the surviving soldiers being now anthorized to vote, thongh absent in their country’s defense) he was again returned—beating Mr, Kernan 1,170 votes. Last Fall, he was, for the fifth time, a candidate, and was aga'n, after a most spirited canvass, chosen over 1 logz, (Weed Republican,) by 1,417 n Mr. Conkling is in the prime of life, a most effective debater and canvasser, an unfli Republican, and a most devoted and efficient chumpion of Protection to Home Industry. plbbaibbatded by The bill abolishing all laws which deny the elective franchise on account of color, in the itories, was passed yesterday by the Scnate, and, being concurred in by the House, goes to the President for his The Senate yest providing for anotl ginning on each 4th of March he measure has justly been demanded p:.»;.d the House bill &3 be- This the session of € ter. by people as a protection, and its necessity has | cutive usurpa- | heen already shown by the tions of Mr. Johnson during the tions of Congress.

Ina letter from the President of our Board of Emigation, the subject has just of some jointeaction being taken in the matter. The principal difficulty appears to be the ab- sence of competent authority in this city to British vessels—a diffienlty which it rests with Congress to meet, and which it is much to be desired shonld be provided for by legislation without delay. l_h. Johnson’s course in reappointing men to office whom he lad previously nominated, and who liad been rejected by the Senate, re- vealed a danger which it was necessary Con- gress should remove. The bill before the Sen- ate to regulate the tenure of offico prevents the President from arbitrarily removing offi- cers whom the Sepate has confirmed, but leaves him the power of suspending for misconduct, and appointing a temporary sue- cessor to the guilty person, and of sopplying vacancies that may occur daring the recess of the Senate. This bill was debated yesterday in the Senate, Mr. Howe arguing that members of the Cabinet should vot be excepted; but it was decided that the President’s power to re- move and appoint his Secretaries should not be interfered with. Even Mr. Johnson of ngry_luml admifted that the practice of reap- pointing men whom the Senate had rejected Was at war with the spirit of the Constitution. Go.n.

But Mr. Comell having exhausted neither his purse nor lis generous impnlses in the founding of the Uni- versity which bears his name, has erected an- other institution by its side, the benefits of which will be fot equally by the collego and the town where it is located. This is the Corncll Library, which was formally 0[;(:{1111 on the 201 of December before a large audience, composed of citizens of Ithaca and neighboring towns. Mr. Comcll having given a brief statement of the piogress, in his own mind, of the purpose which liad eulminated in the two educational establishments, presented the deed of the property and the keys of the building to the Trustees, making a strong appeal to them touching the management of the important trust. One of the speakers referred to the proposition made by Edward Everett, at the opening of the Boston Free Library, that each citizen should present to the institution some volume, by virtue of which he or she might elaim a proprietary interest in the future success of the enterprise, and suggested to the citizens of Ithaca u like course. 'This proposi- tion met with a general response, the most notable of the donations being that of the Rev. Dr. Strong, which included a complete set of The Gentloman's Magazine from Jan. 1, 1731 said to be the only complete file in thliu cm'mn-y: apd for which he had been offered £1,000 by the Astor Library of New-Youk, This Libiary make themsclves as conspicnons and vociferous | woman 1 | prisonme citizen, i unk At the i yoar for te one-hall o prison | our own | 18 erimi lish repc | has a su iouses, ¢ | tomed 1 has pro short, it fight in & oan undoubi The d s serving her twentieth term of im- nt, and another, the wife of a wealthy s kept therc » is helplessly v%s charge.

Y., Jan. 10—During the afternoon thy excitement over the Senatorial question was very great, As the time for the cancus approached it yag even mote intense, and the friends of Mr. Con| and Davis were equally sanguine. Johnu was on tho ground, but he seemed to take no interest except to make inquiries. It is un he did not make any bets. The Rupuhl'mnn- met at 7 o'clock, Senator Folger, Presi Messrs, Terwilliger of the Senate, and Caldwell of the House acting as Secretaries. On the calling of the roll it appeared that 27 Senators and 81 m of the House were present. An informal l)nllq;t"' then ordered. Before it was taken, Mr. Roberts op Oneida arose and nominated Mr. Roscoe for Senator. Mr. Roberts said that Mr. Co; course in the House of Representutives entitled him to recognition. As member of the Ways and Moang auld Reconstruction Committees he was true o hig party and his conntry. His further services in ing the vail from the massacre of Ball's Bluff, and jn showing up the Haddock bounty frands were also alluded to. His election was duo ap recognition of the youth and vigor of the great Republican party, as he was ita most brilliant exponent of these qualities, Me, Burroughs of Erie arose in behalf of Western New. York to present its claims, and said thot during the whole Listory of the State no Senttor had ever beon chosen from the section west of Cayuga Bridge—s section which last year rolled up a majority of 27,000 men, Asa representative of that section he presented the name of Noah Davig, an ablo lawyer and an upright Judge, who has been always true te the principles of the party. Since the com- mencement of the war no man had done so much to mold and gnide the sentiment of the people of hig seetion, Both by his pen and his tongue he had con- fributed to the National canse, and his services deserved recognition. Mr. Henry Smith of Albany said that if local considerations were to be consnlted his conuty should be recognized, for the valiant bat- tles of the Republican party had placed her among the pillars of that party. The candidate ho wonld name had been in both branches of the Legislature, amember of the Coustitutional Convention, and sa able and upright Judge. As Senator, although in sowe minor matters he may have differed with his ty, he had always remained true to the principles pn which he was elected. When Mr. Johnson held forth the whole power of the Government to sednes our Representatives from their principles, he stood firm and unyielding. That man was Ira Harris of Albany. Mr. Gibbs of Delaware placed in nominse tion the name of Judge Ransom Balcom of Bing- | hawton, Judge of the Supreme Comt, and indorsed | his cluims 05 a good and true Republican, deserving of recognition. Mr. Travers.of Westchester arose to place in nomination a man who needed no encominms —a man who did more than any other man to place victories on our banners—the foremost max of his party, and the editor of the leading jourmal of the conntry—Mr. Greeley. In presenting bis name he did it without any authority {rom Mr. Greeley whate ever. Mr. Greeley did not come here to seck votesy neither wonld he allow any one else to do so for him. The office must seek hin, not he the office ; and Mr. Travers hoped such would be the opivion of the can- cn3. They owed him the office for the work he has done in behalf of the party. None equaled him in mnmasking treason, and npone have given so hard blows for frecdom everywhere as Mr. Horsco Greeley. Senator Crowley, in aspeech on behalf of the coung men of the West, seeonded the nomination of Mr. Davisin a short and eloquent speech. Senater White scconded the nomination of Mr. Conkling, Mr. White’s first choice was George William Curtis, but as that able and eloquent gentleman was uof the field, he looked about and found that the man best fittod by his previous course and ability was Roscoe Conkling, The people of New-York wanted a voico in the legislative baMs, and the man besh fitted for that position was Roscoe Conkling. As the names of each of the gentlemen nominated were aa- nonnced by the Speaker they were greeted with loud applanse. ‘The informal ballot was then token amid no little excitement. Senator White and Representatives Tarbox and Shotts acted as tellers, As the members went up to deposit their ballots, the greatest curios- ity existed among the ontsiders, some of them ven turing inside the railings. As the votes were being” comnted, every one was conjecturing the result, and when Chairman Folger rapped for order, it scemed as if every oue held his breath. On the announce ment that Mr. Harris bad received 52, Davis 80, Conkling 33, Baleom 7, Greeley 6, and Folger 1, there was a great deal of twittering, and the Davis men tooked jubilant. Conkling's friends scatiered sronnd everywhere, and scemed {0 vio with Harris in look- ing after the interests of their nowinecs. Amid the confusion, Mr. Travers withdrew the nace of Me Greeley. A wotion was then made to go into another ine formal ballot but a friend of Mz, Davis moved to amend by going into a formal one which was carried, i additional hope in the hearts of the Davie men. Daring the voting in this b Mot the butten holers were busier than ever. As the votes were being counted everyone's eves were bent on the | tellors, and when the vole was announced it created some surprise especially among Coukling's fricuds It stood. Raleom 49 Folger Duvis.. It wa is's friends were wavering and the Davisand Conkling button-holsrs made desperate efforts to gain them for their nominee. During the wholo time of taking the next ballot, importuning the members was the prineipal business of the fleor. The Clerk announced the result, which was as fol- lows: o ——— ... 43 Balcom | another ballot was called, and during the voting the excitement increased to fever heat. As the tellers wero counting, members wero crowding around their desk. The ballot was announced, and it gave great hope for Mr. Coukling's friends. I¢ was: Coukling.. 53] Davis Hurri ® Two votes only wers wanted to give Conkling the Senatorship, His friends became ansions, and every Harris man was sarrounded by a Davis and Coukling canvasser, Every one was holding his breath, when (hairman Folger annonnced that one more vote was cast than there were members present. It was ® move to gain tine by some one. Another ballot wes then taken, and it resulted : - COnking. ..o A | folger. . i This nomination was greoted with lond applanse aud it was moved to make it unanimous, which was carried. After whicl: the caucus adjourned. After the cancus adjourned a great crowd of people repaired fo Me. Conklings room at the Delevan House. e attempted to nake a speeck: to them, bug the enthusiasm was so great that after speaking about three minntes he desisted. He thanked them for their congratulations and support, and whils he felt proud of bis success b had no fecling toward his opponents in the contest, or toward any one, Dut of the Kiudliest character. Never had ho seem a contest waged with so much good will gentlemanly feeling and uniform courtesys and so free from all personal and party Ditterness as this. The crowd still pressed close snd hecame so enthusiastic as to prevent Mr. Conkliog from speaking. In the coufusion Lyman Tremaine came in, and after offering his conmhdml‘u he hailed this triumph as an_angury of botter daye for the great Union party; it showed plainly thes henceforth the yonng, vigorous, live men its destinies, and the barnacles must bottom. It was a triumph, not of intelloct, against age and people of New-York would in the Senate Chamber in a would make the old State feel were then made by Gen.
