If Banks should be elected, it will be vic
tory Of the Northern Know Nothings over the
Seward republicans in the fusion; if Fuller
should be elected, it will amount to q still
greater concession on the part of the Seward
ties. As it stands, Banks appears to be the
man, and with his election it will be virtually
decided that the black republicans (having
failed to buy out the Northern Know Moth
ipgs) have consented to be sold. And thus
we wind up the first week of Congress The
second will doubtless be marked with greater
results.

Mr. Ranks, therefore, falls short twelve
votes of On election, and there is an aggregate
OF IL Tty-nine scattering votes, or of dfty-six or
h't f-seven in full house, from which to pick
up these twelve or fifteen votes az the case
ray be. WIN not this have been accomplish
ed in the interval from Saturday afternoon
till Monday morning? Very likely; but not
X absolutely certain. The difficulty to be over
come is Fuller, Of Pennsylvania, and his
I friends. We find Fuller starting on Monday
with seventeen, and, closing up on Saturday
night with thirty votes. The other nineteen
n \ scattering votes, with perhaps an ex
ception or two upon pinch, are
n utterly impracticable for Banks; and the &C
y cessions to Fuller yesterday indicate no in
y tention on the part of his friends of quitting
:, the field Should they persist in sticking to
/ him, the fusionists, as last resort, may have
. to fall back upon Fuller, notwithstanding their
f objections to him as a consenting free soiler
. to the uitimatum of squatter sovereignty in
; Kansas whether it shall result in no slavery
or pro- slavery. Whether this is or is not the
beginning of daylight" discovered by
: Greeley, we don't know; but we presume it is,
though we think that Mr.. Fuller is but cloudy
t gimmering to the Seward league as last
resort. We are content, meantime, to rest
the chances of an election on Monday with
Mr. Banks. IF Weed, Webb and Greeley prefer
him to Fuller, they ought certainly to be able
to drum up dozen recruits from the floating
materials in the course Of two nights caucus
ing and log rolling.
The following table embraces the last vote
of each day from Monday, inclusive, upon the
three leading candidates.

CoSaREss-- Our SPECIAL DEspArcHEs-A
NICE ITEM OF CONTINGENT EXPENSES. --During
the last week our bill of extra expenses for
special telegraphic dispatches from Washing
ton, for Fix days, amounted to two hundred and
ninety four dollars. Add this to our share of
the Congressional reports and dispatches to
the associated press, the salaries of Washing
ton reporters, correspondents, &c, and some
idea may be formed Of the active capital re-
4ured for the news of daily journal like the
HERALD. This is the sort Of enterprise which.
set in motion by MIR. Bennett twenty years ago,
has worked out a revolution In the New York
press which has placed IL so far in advance Of
the journalism of every other city in the
Union, that there is no probability of any of
them overtaking US for the next twenty years
to come. The HERALD, as the pioneer in this
great newspaper reform, has been, and CONT
nues to be, 10 amply sustained by an intelli-
gent community as to justify extra expendi-
lures for early and exclusive intelligence
which, twenty years ago, would have been re-
xarded fabulous and foolish. Onward Is the
yyord. Nothing like bold and Independent
ure~s, sustained by liberal and Independent
people,

Mrs. E. K. Smith likes the people Of the
great West She says, in the Rhode Island
Schoolmaster: -.sz
sThe Western man has none of the vices of
thrift. He carries on operations upon SO vast q
scale that he casts out pettiness and meanness
wherever he goes. He does not higgle and
barter in q bargain. He measures distance by
miles, not feet. He counts money by dollars,
not pennies, He seems ashamed to come
down to pence. He buys dress for his wife,
and gets q few yards extra ; his own coat and
his shoes are all too large FOR him; his hat
slouches for the same reason ; it is as if the
imagination Of the man was akin to the vast
ness Of the rivers and prairies of the region
the soul quite gets outside of the body. He
must have elbow room-he must breathe
therefore, his house is large; the room large,
and sometimes uncomfortable. The bed is
high and wide; the teaeup ample, heavy, and
like the lakes, filed to the brim. a
