WAsHINGToN, Dec II.
During the protracted struggle in the House
for Speaker not the least sign OF i'll temper has
been discernible. On the contrary, great good
humor has characterized the proceedings
Conferences are being held tonight among the
various divisions of the members, but no
ene cen even in the remotest degree foretell
the events of tomorrow Some are almost in
despair of effecting an organization. Mr.. Rich
ardson's friends are resolved to stand by him.
nor is it probable that by dropping him they
could concentrate larger numbe Of votes on
any other Democrat the anti-Know Nothings
and Nebraska platform being a bar to any ac-
cessions. 1t is understood that Mr.. Thoring-
ton will tomorrow again offer his resolution
providing for an election by plurality vote,
but it is not probable that it viii be adopted.
Mr.. Bayly. of Virginia, member Of the House,
is about starting for Havana.
The Government having sent instructions to
Minister Wheeler to recognize the new Near
aguan Government, but which could not have
been received by him before he did so, Mr..
Parker II. French, it is reasonable to suppose,
will not be received here as the accredited
Minister of that Government.
