Adjourned.
One hundred and twelve members have
voted for Banks at different times, but several
OF these dodge about continually. careful new
er to vote so when it would decide the coz
test.
If Mr.. Banks falls there is good reason
now to believe that no organization can be
accomplished by majority vote for fort
night to come. There are about TWENTY-FIVE
New England men who aver that they will
never consent to yield to another, Mr.. Banks's
claims as the strongest candidate.
During the protracted struggle in the House
Tor Speaker not the least sign of i'll temper
has yet been manifested. On the contrary,
the best feeling has characterized its proceed
lngs. Conferences were held tonight among
the various members, but none can foretell,
III the most remote degfee, the events of to-
morrow. Some appear almost to despair of
effecting an organization. The friends of Mr..
Richardson have resolved to stand by him.
