MIR. Sweetzer introduced proposition re-
solving that inasmuck as the House could not
elect Speaker, that it adjourn until the lst
of January, 1850.
This proposition he defended in few re-
marks, and made some reflections on the
minority, who, he said, were responsible for
the dsorganization of the House.
The proposition was ruled out of order.
A proposition was here made to adjourn,
which was agreed 10, and the House adjourn
ed till tomorrow at i2 o'clock.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10, 1919


Another day has passed over our heads
and no progress yet made in the election of
a speaker. Where this is going 10 end no one
can tell but, repeat, that the nation, apart
from The delay in the publication of public
documents, is not a loser by this delay The
unorganiZed House is an excellent school for
young members, in which they can Practice
amiabiity and forbearance and study each
others characters, without rushing into end
less debates, which only serve 10 entangle
questions, and to fortiiy prejudices.
Mr.. Potter, of Ohio, after vain attempt
was made 10 unite the Southern Democracy
in his support, declined ; and Mr.. VIM. j.
Brown, the late Second Assistant Postmaster
General, who was turned out by Mr., Cola
mer, and has since been returned TO Congress
without opposition, was taken up in his stead.
All that was ascertained by the ballotting
for Speaker thus far was, that Southern De-
mocrat cannot be elected without Southern
Wing votes and that no Northern Wing can
be elected without Northern Democratic votes.
Parties, thus far, have tried their strength
and are satisfied that neither OF them is strong
enough TO take the lead. OF the Northern
Democrats who stand chance of election,
Potter and Richardson have been tried Nc.
Cernand stands no better chance than MIR.
Richardson. Strong, of Berks, Brown, of In
diana, and Disney, Of Ohio are now the only
candidates left. OF these | have no doubt
Mr., Brown is the strongest. II he is not
elected Tomorrow, or the day after, South
ern borderer may be presented; but such a
man can only be elected, on either side, by a
mixed vote of Southern Democrats and Wings
which would establish at once a permanent
geographical division, and be the fruitful
source OF contention ever after. Both parties
seem to comprehend this; and hence should
not al all be surprised il, TO morrow, there were
enough Southern Wings absent TO elect Brown.
They will act wisely in doing so; and will,
by their iorbearance, lay the foundation TO
permanent settlement ofthe question which
now threatens the safety of our institutions,
and the permanency of our Union.
OBSERVER.
7. 5. have from an undoubied source,
that Mr. James Johnston, (brolher of the
Governor,) who has just been appointed IT, S.
Consul TO Glasgow, will certainly be rejected
by the Senate, The Wings not the Demo-
Gratis seem 10 be most opposed 10 him. The
TACT is, that among the borers here for pur-
poses oil rejection, notice scarcely any one
but Wings, This seems to be after The fashion
OF French liberty-Equality and Eaiernity

date whose success would carry with il
compromise Of principle. He had stood pre-
pared, when his vote would elect Speaker,
10 make a choice between the gentlemen
nominated by the caucuses.
Mr.. Morse defended his proposition.--
Laughter, he said, was no argument agains
il nor was il an answer 10 tell him that 1t
was gambling transaction. The House, he
maintained, had right to select it's own
mode Of electing or choosing it's officers.
Mr.. Brown, Of Miss, wished to put an end
10 the discussion, and moved to lay the pro-
position on the table; which motion pre-
vailed.
Mr.. Schenck moved that the House elect a
Speaker by ballot. He said they could vote
90 times day that way, instead of the or
5 by the viva voce principle.
The proposition was then laid on the table,
by vote of yeas and nays, Of 1862 in the
affirmative and So in the negative.
Mr.. Bowie submitted the following resolu-
tions, which were read for information
Resolved, That the organization of thi:
House cannot longer be suspended without
jeopardizing the confidence Of the people in
their representatives and exciting their just
apprehensions that the spirit of party has
trumphed over the deliberative reason ol
this assembly.
Resolved, That each party, and every
member of each party in this House, is unde
the most solemn obligations tc cultivate q
spirit Of Cancellation and self-sacrfice, and tc
give up to their country their personal anc
party predictions.
Resolved, That a Committee of BE Sc
lected by ballot, who shall recommend tc
this House suitable person 10 fill the offic,
of Speaker of the House, and that the Com
mt,ee report by 10 O'Clock tomorrow.
The resolution was not pressed pending tht
following motion; Mr.. Wentworth move,
that the House proceed 10 vote again 70
Speaker.
AT this stage, Mr. Potter expressed hi
thanks for the hatering vote given him b,
the House for Speaker, and begged his friend
10 withdraw his name, as it was apparen
that he could not receive ma ajority. Th

FINE SHooTING.-Wiihin the past few
days, the sport on the ducking points, in the
vicinity of the city, has been exceedingly

taken by hundreds. The larger fowl, geese
and swan, are also said 10 be abundant, and
numbers have been killed.-Bdlt. Sun.

INDIAN CONCERT.

A concert was held at the Court House
on Thursday evening by Mr.. Youman, who
had under his charge young Indian Of
about % and his two sisters of about Is and
20 years Of age. They came from Cana
da West. Their voices were soft and melo-
dous, and well adapted to the old fashion,
ed tunes which they sung. The girls were
handsome for Indians. The younger, par
ticularly, had an expressive and intelli-
gent face, and we thought, an arched
and roguish leer on her countenance. Al
though the style of singing was plain and
simple, aud wanting in force and execution,
it nevertheless gave perfect satisfaction to
all present, and to the boys particularly
when they all expressed themselves in fa-
vor OF annexation to the United States.

G- Congress is not yet organized, nor
is the prospect of electing speaker for the
House nearer now than the first day of the
session. The great trouble is the question
OF slavery, and there seems to be no way OF
organizing unless some portion of the
Democrats or Wings absent themselves for
the purpose of making a majority of the
whole number present. Every proposition
for compromise has thus far failed. Should
the Democrats and the Wings OF the North
unite, or the Democrats and Wings of the
South do the same, the two great political
parties will be merged into sectional or
slavery and anti-slavery parties, which
every good patriot must deplore, and which
would eventually sever the Union.

such a character that the yield of the sugar cane
may b, doubled.
