The Beaato la overwhelmingly against Abbett.

Abbett by tt Assembly, and in the tolnt convention which tbo Federal law requires tha two hooaea to hold on th 25th Inst, both Abbott and Smith might be roted for.

aud neither would win an election, the Bepabllcane holding tho balance between them, i his, of coarse. Is the remotest kind of possibility, but it la on th fantaa-tie phases the etruKRl may assume before It la rr. For this week, however, the Legislature will hare plenty, apart from tho Senatorahip. to en-gag its attention. Tha otgaaUatioiu are apt to bo attended by some exettemeute and by eompltoationa that may not bo without their relatione to th Senatorial struggle.

Mr. emlth'a now almost open candidacy has prompted Senator Barrett, who wasted to be the presiding offloer, to retlr In hU behalf. Win-ton ot Bergen, who waa at one time a oontplon-ous aspirant for the pla. ha dropped out of eight. Miles Koea la urging drain forward, and Billy Thorn peon, the Olouooeter ro-trek boss, 1 anxious to promote Barker to the dais.

The better-Informed men think that there la no doabt that the handsome Adraln will grace tho big chair for the third Wlater. Th Speakership of the Assembly will go either to Flynn of Faaaalo or Lane of Union. Both ar oapabl men. Bnt Flynn suffers the odium ot being th starter at Thompson's rao track atOlouoeeter. aad area hia friends think It would not look well for him to sit ia tt presiding chair of the Hons.

Heeeomat hare the lead over Lane, however, and wagers ar mad at odda that ho wIR be chosen, btrong effort hare bee a made to Induce hint to withdraw, and be may do it after th eauona haa placed the fflee at hie disposal. Bat that ia doubtful. The enly other certain thing, or apparently certain thing, about the organisation ot either House la that bamnel Thompaoa ot Warren will be the Secretary of the Senate.
