CITY OF WASHINGTON.



The Senate had again short session yesterday, and
adjourned before o'clock until ~ o'clock on Monday.
In the House, the process Of voting for Speaker was
still continued. There were six more votes taken
making in all IS unayailing attempts to effect election
The wing phalanx stands united and firm for Mr. Win
throp In all the ballots except the last he stood at the
former number OF 1902; but the last ballot. he de-
scended to lol Mr. Potter. OF Ohio, to 70, when
the House adjourned, and principally by the operation of
the wing vote.
The most amusing part Of the whole proceeding Of the
session was the motion OF Mr. Chester Butler, OF Penn
sylvana to declare Mr. Winthrop Speaker Of the House
by resolution But of the assigned for it
was still more singular viz that Mr.. Coamer was now
running the country TO the expense of engaging the rail
road cars the North to carry the Presidents message
by express and that every days delay in the oanza
lion of the House mourning additional expense.
And because MI. Jacob Collamer chooses to make a
bungng bargain, therefore the logic is, that Mr. Win.
throp must be precipitated upon the House as their
Speaker But if Mr. Jacob Collamer is to be relieved
from his awkward and costly embarrassment, why not
designate Cobb or Boyd, Richardson Potter, any
other democratas the occupant Of the chair, well
Mr. Winthrop But when the wings so inpatient to
obtain Speaker to leap ut over all the heads Of
all the other members. and place him in the chair, why
did they hurry adjournment. and leave the plough
standing in the midst Of the fuTow the feld Was it
because they saw signs Of rising tempest which
threatened TO sweep Mr.. Winthrop himself from the
field
Thus whole week has passed in an unavailing at
tempt to elect presiding officer II is thus the
ton Of the public business has been delayed, the
Presidents message withheld from the public eye,
and Mr. Jacob Collamer is mourning considerable ex-
pense in employing express for which he has
ner OF USE
There has been advantage, however, in this weeks
prohaced contest There has been no i'll blood pro-
ducsd improper excitement no outburst OF passion
but the House OF Representatives has exhibited order
and dignity Of which would become the pami-
est days Of the republic. This contest however, has
been too long spun out. The public interests demand
settlement of the question: and we trust that the
democratic members, as they have the power, will
enter their noble hall on Monday morning with firm
resolution to effect an election They have the ma.
jority, and they ought TO exert it, We trust. too that
factious feeling and personal aspirations will be
permitted to break the power Of the democratic party
Many admirable Speakers might be selected from their
duty OF every to forget his elevation, and TO
for his countrydisabuse his mind of all ambition and
show, by his magnanimous and dsinterested conduct
that if he cannot win the chair he will at least deserve

other papers devoted 10 the cause Of monopoly.
The truth is, their camor upon the subject Of protec.
