The Scene in the House.

The dull round of voting which has gone on day
after day in the House of Representatives for the
last eight days had not come to an end at the ad-
journment yesterday There was the same solid
Northern abolition vote fronting the Southern repre-
sentatves like fortress threatening their dearest
rights-the same stubborn divisions among the ma
jority-and the unyielding and dignifed bear
ing of the democratic numbers. The House of Rep
resenatives has in fact become great know nothing
and abolition caucus room and the public time is
squandered in vigorous but vain efforts to bring the
dominant power together on single candidate
Left to themselves the opposing advocates of respec

Meetings Last Night.

Pursuant to notice given there were meetings last
night of the Know Nothing party and of the Citizens
Anti-Know Nothing party at Dry Pond. The meet
ings were square apart and no Inconvenience
experienced.
The Anti. Know Nothing Meeting was addressed
by T. c. Miller, E. D. Hall, H. L. Holmes and Geo.
Houston, Esqs.
Mr. Miller lead off in frank and manly address
to his fellow citizens. Neither he the six other
gentlemen on the ticket with him, and with whom
he was proud to be associated, desired the office of
Commissioner from any view either to power or
profit. They had no private ends to serve, no per-
sonal interests to advance, no speculative profit in
view They went Tor principle, they went for equal
rights they went for no exclusive dominancy of an
order, they went for the best interests of the whole
town and of every good, law abiding man in it, and
their best efforts would be given for the promotion o.
these objects.
MIR. Hall, on being called for, said that he wal

MIR. Fuller of Pm.

The Fayetteville Argtss takes Mr. Strange 10 task
for his remarks here in relation to Henry NJ Fuller
If Pennsylvania, who seems to be the candidate OF
the Southern members of the order for the ONCE OF
Sneaker of the House of Representatives. How Mr.
FuIer NAV no1v talk in view of the Speakershp, is
more than we can say, but his anecedents are pre-
ciselv as stated by Mr.. Strange. The Congressional
elections last year in Pennsylvania were carried by
hitter anti-Southern stampede, and Mr.. Fuers elee
ton was carried, like all the others, by this move
ment nor can the special pleading of any class OF
his friends relieve him from the responsibility OF haV'
ing supported Johnson and Nicholson. The Argus
wants to know why, if the Southern K. N. Represen-
tatiyes meant to be unfaithful they did not go at
once for Banks We presume that there are degrees
even in ill.doing but apart from this, the Argus
affords another explanation Banks used to be an
old line Democrat-Fuller Wing, and although we
are told that old party lines have nothing to do with
the order, we all know better.
Mr.. Fuller is jolly good fellow, and clever
enough gentleman, on his sde but he is no more the
true, straight forward national man, in whom the
South can rely, than he is an angel. The K. N.
representatives from North Carolina certainly act
utranQelv, but so do those from other Southern
States and their action certainly exhibits the re-
markably warping effects of the association In which
thew have placed themselves by their connection
with an order essentially Northern in its leading ea-
tures and whose leading presses and men openly re-
pudate the only appearance of nationality in its So
called National Platform"

Congress.

Speculatons OF all sorts the order of the day,
still there is no Speaker. The scattering votes seem
10 have concentrated upon Fuller, but without bring
ing him above Al. The Banks men hold on hard
and so do the Richardson men. The n. 7. Tribune
and Times say that Banks friends will hang on to
the end and that end must be the election of their
candidate. Really there to be very slim
chance of their leaving him. Tt appears to be the
impression, in quarters, that resort 10 the plu
rality principle would result in the election of Rich
ardson. The members would be forced into imme-
date action and the smaller body of Banks oppo-
nents would be expected to to the largest,
or take the responsibility of eecting obnoxious
individual.
By the way, Mr. Banks. apart from his radical de-
feet upon the sectional issue, is, beyond doubt very
suitable mana of the very first ability, away
ahead of Fuller, Pennington or any of that crowd
indeed he has superior of his age in New England
Mr.. Richardson is natve-born Kentuckian, con-
neced by various ties, including those of interest

fectly familiar with al the business of the House
