Mr.. w. protesting against all the CLOSES and sub

cording TO right reason, and established usage are
entitled 10 vote for officers OF this House. on the
sembage OF new Congress- until the house Is or
ganizedl The answer 10 which question was that
a certificate Of election, in due conformity to law,
had ever and invariably been held to entiile mem
bers TO seats. Mr.. w. proceeded to quote az large
several authorities TO sustain this position, which be
considered impregnable. The first authority he
quoted was from Mr.. Bynum's speech ia the case of
Gholson and Claiborne, in which that gentleman
maintained that the certificate of the Governor Of
State was pd facte evidence not 10 be disputed OF

then quoted TO the same effect speech Of the late
Speaker Of this house, mr. Pokl Commenting
upon these and other extracts referred to by him. he
said that no SUNBEAM could be clearer than the de-
monstIaiion that according to all usage and univer-
sal opinion heretofore, the legal return was irreua

from your consciousness that he had in the Govern

representatives. from New Jersey, having precisely
similar certificates OF election you reject thus set
ting at defiance the law whose inIunctons you have

Amer some further observation, Mr.. w. took his
seat; and
Mr.. BfNUM; of North Carolina, rose apparently
for the purpose Of replying TO the allusion made by
MIR. WHITE to his speech in the case Of Claiborne
and Ghoson
The shades of evening had however, by this time
began TO fall, and there was general call for ad-
journment.
The CLERK stated il as his opinion that in the
present state Of the House (the roll having been only
partially called) no question could be taken either
by yeas and nays, or by teers, by count and that
no decision could be arrived at but by general con-
sent of the House.

THE DECLINE OF POWER.

Political power ofenlimes, like wheel separated
from its axe will maintain something IKE It's regu-
lar motion for season beyond the continuance OF
those causes which first gave 1t being and impetus.
But with the decline of principle political power
soon begins to feel its impetus weakened, and OF
certainty comes to dead stand in due time.
There is a moral-an ominous moral to be read
in the past history Of the party now holding the ad
ministration Of the federal government in their
hands as developed in their past control over the
House of Representatives, and compared with the
present probable strength Of tina, body.
In 1929, when the 2lst Congress was convened,
the strength Of The Jackson party in the iiouSe was
so overwhelming that the opposition could scarcely
rally 10 support any man for Speaker against MT
Stevenson, the administration candidate VI IVA
ballots he had 154-all but-4O!
In 1891 at the organization of the next succeed
ing House the administration were so strong as to
run several candidates for Speaker, having only TO
contend among themselves. But Mr.. Stevenson
was reelected without any party opposition:
Al The opening of the Odd Congress in 1888 the
opposition began rally again but OF the total OF
votes thrown, 2lS Mr. Stevenson, the adn.nislra, "a,
lion candidate, received l42, being majority OF 80
over all candidates
In 1895. at the opening Of the Path Congress, OF
OBS votes, Mr.. Polk had 1872 being 10 majority.
In 1897 al the opening OF the Extra Session, so
rapid had been the decline of political strength oil
'the party" in the popular branch Of Congress that
OF 224 votes, Mr.. Polk had but lIo-ana 10 , DC
in necessary to choice, il made him but MAORI
y7 And in this election, all the Conservative Re-
publicans of the House voted for him, or the admi-
nistration could not have elected Speaker at all
In 1899 the actual majority returned by Inc REQ
pe IS from to strong against the administrator;
and if men do but act up their convictions OF duy,
il is impossible for an administration Speaker 70 DC
elected
Is there not, in this decline OF party strength, an
obvious difference between Jacksonism as il was IN
1929 and up to 1886, and Van Burenism as u mas
been from 1886 TO 1897

OFFICIAL CHICANERY.

Mr.. c. ]. Ingersoll has, at last, obtained
proclamation from Gov. Porter, bearing date
the 18th ult., declaring that "Charles J. lnger-
soil has been returned as duly elected in the
Third Congressional District, on the 9th day
of October, 1888, as representative of the
people of Pennsylvania in the Congress Of the
United States, for two years, commencing on
the 4th Of March, 1889"
We consider this most extraordinary pro-
ceeding, and are unable to comprehend its
justice or propriety. Il is issued in the teeth
OF proclamation Of Gov. Ritner, who declar-
ed Charles Naylor duly elected before Gov
Porter had an official existence. Ii Gov Por-
ter can do this with IMMUNITY, why, then he is
competent to set aside every Congressional
election that has ever been held in Pennsyl-
vania since the foundation Of the government,
and declare the acts Of former members Of
Congress from that state to be void.

MR.. BENTON TRIUMPHANT.

The trouble IN the camp, we spoke OF In
our last, has been verified by the proceedings
Of the loco-focos in caucus. Mr.. Pickens
was first nominated for the Office Of Speaker,
and advocated by northern loco-focos. But
gentleman Of the same party thinking that
Mr.. Lewis of Alabama could carry some
votes that Mr. Pickens conld not, proposed
Mr.. Lewis This caused much agitation,
which resulted in the nomination Of Mr.. Jones
Of Virginia. He swept the course the first
ballot Still the difficulties were not settled,
and Sunday was desecrated by other orgies
Mr.. Cahoun's friends properly insisted upon
their rights to respectful consideration. But
Mr. Benton, who watches every movement of
his great rival, foreseeing the advantage Mr..
Calhoun would gain over him by the election
Of his relative Mr.. Pickens, entered the field
Of controversy, as we are informed, himself.
We are told that he openly denounced the
friends of Mr.. Calhoun, and conjured his
friends to "touch not the unclean thing
that he personally attended their caucus, and
reminded them of Gen. Jackson's denuncia-
lions of Modification. &c. Ii is unnecessary
to remark that Mr.. Benton trlumphed. Mr..
Calhoun's friends were thrust aside, and Mr..
Jones Of Virginia was urged upon the field,
as the party candidate for Speaker. and the
representative of Mr.. Benton, who is of
course gratified.
