The result of the election for Speaker OF the House
has cnst melancholy gloom over the opposition par
~ which they aust wear at least for two years t
come There is no one to blame for this unexpected
defeat but themselves. Their eagerness to seize upon
every opportunity abuse the party in power and "a
stain the organization of the Congress as long as
possible has proven in the most unquestionable man
ner that as politicians, they ignorant uneducated'
and without tact TO manage, even were they IN the
majority, with sufficient warrant OF success.
On Sunday night and on the morning. OF MONDAY
the opposition counted with a certainty upon 'her
Speaker. In caucus they were the stronger OF the
two parties-and all that needed to ensure safe
~ 10 their ends was proper management; Dut this
they did net possess as the result has shown.
The Bell party on Sunday evening, held their last
caucus What was TO be done on the next day, and
who were the men that 10 play conspicuous parts
was then arranged and finally agreed upon.-Mr
Gushing of Massachusetts, was to sci the ball IN mo-
son, providing the calling of the roll that many OF
their own friends were absent from the House; the
object was 10 gain time. But in their frenzy they
had forgotten that this would also prove abortion
from the fact that the House. could not of ITSELF adj
iourn, and that Speaker, or Chairman must OF ne
cassity be first elected.
Mr. Claiborne of Mississippi understood the move
meat, and in very energetic and forcible manner
ex posed il openly to the House. Here was tact-the
very cunning that the opposition were prldng Their
success upon, was by their means converted into an
instrument that was destined crush them and their
hopes at once. For example, those members of the
House who for the first time had taken their seats as
representatives believed the charge to be correct and
turning from the support Of the party to which they
belonged their vote was threwn in favor of the oppo-
sitien candidate for Speaker.
The administration expected defeat. They knew
the contentious and distractions that were existing
amsng their party, and upon no other GROUND dlo
they build their hopes of success, but on the lRno
rance and impolicy of their opponents The OLD pro-
verb of the beggar was herefully verfed-"Hrve MN
rope enough and he will hang himself"
This session will be stormy one, and consequent
" one of the greatest interest There can be no es'i-
mate made Of how long it will remain IN session.
The matter and the materials that compose It's body
are of such stuff that until now there never has been
its equal Every question will resolve itself into par
ty,-and if any measure should be CARRIED, 1t will OF
necessity have to be by a party vote. So you at
once see how much chance the country has OF getting
any kind of relief.
At IL, today the President sends in his Message,
and at that hour the Express Mail leaves with II Tor
the different States. 1t is now near the time Gar
riases, and private conveyances are flying about IN
every direction. The lobbies and galleries OF both
Houses are already filled with an anxious multitude.
Specuatons as to the contents of the Message are va
nous but have no rea son, yet TO make counter
report on that head, frsm the one already IN your
possession.
must now close my article. BY this mail you
may expect copies of the Message.

NAsHISGToN, Sept 3, 1887
We are jus, IN the beginning Of series of wild, mad,
aaphilosophca and wicke! movements that will tend
more the disgrace Of country than all the oles
Of past times. The very first step at the opening OF
the lever House gave ample evidence that we have
nothing TO hope for from the opposition. In the very
face of all parliamentary usage their leaders attempt
ed 10 prevent the organization of the house by an art
fee so shallow so mean and untenable that they
drove into the arms Of the administration not few
ansophisticated legislators. lin the very outset-l
even before the representatives Of the people had or
ganized themselves as body to deliberate on the al
fairs of the naon the desperation Of the wings could
sodevelope itself as to go counter all usage, all law
and all common sense, what We to hope from them
on the great question Of the currency? Nothing, no
thing nothing but ncendiary speeches violent ergi-
vcrsatons, bingsga,c abuse, and blind defence OF
~. c.. n H..
the utmost extent, fear of their good deeds.
Have we any better prospects from the Saxons who
have driven out the Danes Their past doIngs tell as
Of coming trouble, deceit vlainy, corruption, be-
uayal Of the dearest rights and a complete control
over the public moneys leaving the currency to so tc
the devil and take care Of itself What has become
Of the theory Of the government Alas has taken
wings, gone TO better world and left the country a
prey TO unprincipl ed Office holders and wicked,
desperate minority.
We had hopes, some time since, Of the honesty and
integrity Of the minority. Now we have none. Had
you seen the doings of the first days session, you
would think in the same way. Ignorance Of fnan-
zal economy and commerce, combined with the mar
policy Of party wi be the great groundwork on
which the mea sures Of the coming session will be
based. SO soon IN business of the Message will
have been disposed Of and certain projects of bills
brought in will shew up the ignorance and party vio-
lence of our leg saors IL rs strange that the whole
Aodv of then, has not q rcdeemlnp quality about H.
