Iowa. We hear that the vote for Speaker
of the House was 81 Wing to II Loco. This
argues that the Wings we're all on hand, and
that the two " Possums' in the House did not
vote. But we have no direct or specific adj
vices. The Official majorities for the Loco
Foco State ticket are now said to be as fol
lows:
Governor-Briggs, 247 Sec. of State, G77
Congress-Leffler, $40 Auditor do 757
Hastings, 684 Treasurer do no
Our advices are to the 3D. Gov. Briggs
was inaugurated on that day. No time yet
fixed for choosing U. S Senators.

the venerable President, John Quincy

That Commissioners be appointed by the

FROM THE FAR WEST. We learn from
the Lexington (Missouri) Express Of the l4th
that an express had reached that place from
the company of Billiard, Hooke & Co.. trad
ers to Santa Fe, who were the last to leave In
dependence this season.
They had crossed the Arkansas, and we're
camped for the night south of the sand hills
on the Semrone, when one of those dreadful
northwestern snow storms, which are COM
mon on the plains, came up, and so alarmed
their cattle, that many of them broke through
the guard and made their escape
Some 20 head made their escape, and 3
mules persisted in the storm Being thus
weakened in their teams, the company were
compelled to return to the Arkansas, where
they have very good grass, rushes, &c, for their
stock.
1t was their intention, however, ifthe wealth
er continued fair, to move on to Bent's Fort,
$50 miles, with all the goods possible, and
winter there. BY doing so, they will be en-
abled to reach Santa Fe early in the
spring-liaH.

TEA AND COFFEE. According to the fol-
lowing paragraph from the Washington Union
the PTcsid snts suggestion to tax tea and cof-
fee is likely to be voted down by the House,
and with very little ceremony:
"Weare informed that six the Committee
of Ways and Means, three wings & three dem
ocrats, are innexibly opposed to the recon-
mending a tax on tea and coffee for war pur-
poses and the opinion is openly expressed by
the most influential democrats, that if a bill
be introduced for that purpose, it will not
receive fifty votes ip the House."
