THE STRUGGLE FOR SPEAKER.

AAH ~ ROOOlSD iOAS 10 h&hhb Ie.
The following article from the Washington
Daily Globe, Of the 18th inst, will give ouI
readers some idea of the condition Of affairs
at Washington City touching the contest to
organize the House of Representatives;
although there are great many speeula.
lions in the House, we fear, as we predicted
last Tuesday, that the body will remain fol-
some time without head The position OF
parties renders it difficult to decide on this
very important appointment, even though q
majority, dsnterested rs far rs the individuals
composing it are concerned, should desire to
come together and make an organization Of
the House. The southern members, and
others associated with the Administration in
supporting the Kansas Nebraska act, by Sc
lectinN Mr.. Richardson, who was the leader
of the House in carrying that measure, have
shown their determination to nail their colors
TO the mast in defence of this great point of
policy on which the powers-thatbe have
staked their own fate and that of their adher-
ents. Mr.. Richardson staked himself on it at
home before constituency BY no means in
clined at first to sustain their Representative;
but having fought 1t through the last Con-
gress, and through his district at the last
election, he has been chosen rs the standard
bearer Of that party in the present Congress,
who are determined to rise or fall with it in
the great electiono of the next autumn.
On the other side are arrayed the great
body of northern men who were chosen by
their constituents for their avowed hostility
to the Kansas-Nebraska act. But this main
body, representing northern principles, opin-
ions, or prejudices, on the subject of the re-
peal of the compromises, is divided into three
sections, a genus of three spccies-Free-
Sellers, Know Nothngs and Democrats
These differ so widely about what at the
present moment may be considered practical
questions, that il will be hard work to bring
them together under the influence of the
greater attractive force of that issue, which
has commanding influence on the side of the
Administration, and those sustaining its lead
ing measure. Yet it seems to us more likely,
that those differing parties in the North, who
agree on the exciting subject, which all seem
determined to make sectional and carry into
the presidential election, will unite, than that
either of them will go over to the South or
that the South, rallied on Richardson, will
disband and join either of the sections of the
North.
We know the solicitude of the readers of
the Globe at distance to have even the con-
lectures of those who mingle in the scenes at
the Capitol, on a matter of so much interest
MS the organization of Congress, and we have,
therefore, hazarded our opinions. That the
organization of the House will be effected
after while, we have no doubt; but we do
not believe it can be done for many days TO
come-perhaps not for weeks.

rY Hon. John NJ. Bolts, having been rep
resented to the New York Herald by one of
its correspondents rs II candidate for Mr.. Ma.
sons place in the Senate, writes that jour
nal letter Of correction, in which he says
Il would MS soon expect an invitation
from the Emperor Alexander 10 take CON-
mand of the Russian forces in the Crmea,
as that ] could be elected to the Senate
by the present legislative body of my own
State"
1t is rather unlikely that Mr. B. will be
called into service by the present Legislature
of Virginia-but as Tom Ewing said when
he heard of Mr. Folks nomination for the
Presidency, "No body is safe now"

THE REFORM BILL.

The Dresden Spy, democratic sheet, has
a sensible article in relation to the judicial
Reform Bill" now before the Legislature, II
portion OF which we subjon
We learn that the bill called the Reform
Bill, now pending before the Legislature, is
quite radical, and Of doubtful constitutional
propriety. We understandable it not only
changes the practice of the courts, but that
it abOlishes the eonrts themselves. This
takes the country by surpnse-as no such
subject was agitated among the people in
the canvass last summer, IN this part Of the
State. The judges, chancellots, andsatorneys
general were cut off by the changes in the
constitution, in 1853. That was all legal and
proper. They have just been elected by the
people, and now in eighteen months after the
election, we are informed this reform bill pro-
poses to egislate them out of office. In this
part of the State it is charged as ademocratic
measure. We know not how this is, but
hope it is not, as it would certainly be
heavy weight for the Democratic Party TO
carry, and would be bad precedent. Should
the Assembly get in the habit, as each party
may prevail, of abolishing the Courts, and
thus adjusting the Circuits and districts,
throughout the State, so as to insure the
election of members of their own party to all
the Judicial offices, the integrity, dignity and
independence of the judiciary will be gone.
We can perceive no necessity for such
measure. The judicial officers have just been
elected by the votes of free people; there is
no complaint in this part of the State of a
failure by any ofthem TO perform their duties.

MR. FILLMoRE.-The people of Bardstown,
KY, have
Resolved that Willard Fillmore, "the Model
President" is our choice for the Chief Magi-
stracy of the United States in 1856, and that
we present his name to the American people
for that high Office "as one whom we best
love, most admire, and deem fittest for the
general needs"-confden that his election
would be hailed with qualification and delight
by the true men of all parties, who love the
Union, the Constitution and its compromises,
and in every section of the country wherever
our banner waves and our drum.beat is heard.
He has signaized his career by stern devo-
ton to the best interests ofthe nation, know
ing and recognizing no geographical lines
"no North, no South, no East, no Vest
his public virtue and large nationality, tried
by every test, yet sleeping step to the music
of the Union," regardless of the cries and
clamers of the Abolitionists and Nullifers,
fearing neither,and abhorring both, and trust
ing 10 the ultimate judgment and approval Of
a free and enlightened people.
