THE LATEST NEWS,
RECEIVED BY
MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.
THE CONTEST FOR SPEAKER.

Frsn Our Own Correspondent.
WASHINGTON Monday, Dec. "a 1855.
Ttis morning Mr.. Letter explained that as he
had several times received two votes for Speaker,
bis position might be mis- understood. He was not
and would not be candidate
Mr. Stewart of Md submitted compromise reso'
utioDs, inviting the harmony and cooperation of all
national men, ard after applauding the position of
Richardson ard Fuller, he referred to an imputed
pirate of Banks 10 a speech made in Mains-"Let
the Uuion slide" When Mr.. Banks, who was out
at the time came in, he said he had never ex-
pressed opinion of Indifference as to the Union,
but referred merely to the contingency that
sectional aggression might weaken the affection Of
those devoted to it. he spoke elOquently Of
"the Union as it is and would fight against it's
enemies, here and elsewhere His speech made
fine impression bringing down the applause Of the
ball and the galleries.
Extra Billy" Smith was not satisfied with Mr..
Bsnks's explanation of letting the Uoon slide"
in sDy contingency; but Mr.. Grow promptly re.
torted by telling him that the South had not only
contemplated the contingency, but year after year
had threatened disunion in the most unqualified
terms. Mr.. Boyce attempted to interogate
Banks, but the latter re'erred him to the silent
course of Richardson as his precedent for not
answering Mr. Brooks Of G.. avowed himself
fully for the sentiment ascribed to Banks, and
would "let the Union slide in many contin-
gsrcies.
The Senate has adjourned till Thursday. The
House refused to pass Mr.. Shermsn's resolution
of Saturday, cutting off ell debate; and the ten
minutes rule is now prevailing
there is rumor in the House to-day of an iu-
tention 10 abandon Richardson alternately, and
form union on q new candidate, after getting Of,
though Bankss cause loses strength by this con-
cessien. Mr. Tyson said he had no. paired of.
Dir. Shorter of Ala r,se to signify his purpose Of
boiling Richard son, but before sitting down eaved
ip under the sharp drill of Kentucky Member.
1t was an amusing exhibition
The first ballot is just over. Banks Aas 1Ol-
seven votes short Of choice. Fdller's Western
votes went over to Pennington. Mr.. Nichols i'm

The adjournment of the House ("bich mas just
taken place. over to Wednesday, may help the or

suggested, and unite with Fallers supporters on

Mr. Banks is accuied of having said or certain
occasion that be would let the Union aide. Nay he
admits Il at he did actually iay 30, aud that IN
der certain contingencies he would let the Union
slide! At this the Members that vote for Rich
ardson hod up their hands, Nullifers and all, and
if they don't cry treason, they look unutterable
things. Let the Union slide Oh horrible
The Richardson men and the Pre-Slavery Know
Nothines, and the false pretenders are resolved
that the Union shant slide and to make all sure
and as a certain precaution against it, they are
determined to block the election of Speaker
Without Speaker the House cannot be organ
lied without an organization there can be no APP
prov riations without appropriations no pay and
how car the Ukion slide without pay We shall
see how long the Pro .Slavery and Multiplying Mem
bers will continue to give so dsinterested proof

Possession is said, sn1 Justly said, to be nine
points Of the law. Mrs Gaines has obtained de-
cison Of the Supreme Court Of Louisiana ordering
probate of the will under which she claims the
great landed property LEFT by her father, but the
pnrcbasers under another title are still in posses
ION. They have nine points Of the law to Mrs.
Gsness one. Plenty Of legal pretenses for holding
possession will not be wanting The very lapse Of
time during which the property has been held by
q title adve Sc to that of Mrs, Gaines, will be set
I'D az sinst her She may be put to the necessity
of fighting for possession inch by inch, obliged to
bring separate suit 10 recover each particular lot
Under these circumstances there is fair prospect
that the struggle may last twenty years longer

that period. However, such spirit and persever-
