Congress.

The House Of Representatives makes no
progress toward organization. On Friday
compromise resolution, proposing the cleo
ton Of Mr. Banks, together with other mi
nor Offices selected from the democratic and
American parties, was laid on the table.
The adoption Of the plurality principle
was urged by Mr.. Giddings, and elected
considerable debate.
Pending resolution providing that the
first business Of the day shall be To vote
twice for Speaker, without debate, the
House adjourned.
On Saturday, one ballot was held for
Speaker, on which Mr.. Banks received "a
votes, wanting eight of majority. \ de-
bate upon the subject of slavery ensued, ut
the close of which il was voted that no de-
bate should BE- in order for a week, except
by unanimous consent, or in case speaker
should be elected.
The Senate was not in session.
In the House. on Monday, after an inei-
fectual attempt 10 repeal the resolution cut
ting or all debate for week, resolution
was offered, that if no Speaker be elected
by Monday next, the membersshOuld resign.
This was laid ON the table. Four other
resolutions, proposing different methods Of
bringing the matter 10 a successful issue,
were offered and rejected. The llSth ball
lot was taken, on which Mr.. Banks lacked
: votes of an election.
Tuesdays proceedings are as follows
lIorsE. Mr.. Boycc ofitrcd resolution to
the effect that in view Of the threatening
aspect of our relations with England, indi-
eating the event Of startling news, il be-
hooved the conservative elements of the
House to unite at once for the election of q
Speaker.
The following is Mr.. Boycc's resolution;
Whereas, Our relations with Great Brit
ain are of the most threatening aspect, in
dicating that we may be upon the eve of the
most startling events, and, whereas, il is
the most imperative duty Of the House at
this juncture of imminent peril not TO alb
dictate it, great mission, but To fulfil it by
organizing, if possible, upon such basis as

of this House should unite in a sincere ef-
fort to elect Speaker, who shall represent
the great idea Of peace for ourselves and the
sword for the stranger.
Mr.. Stephens hoped that the gentleman
would be permitted to state the facts upon
which he made the announcement that we
are ON the eve of war. If il was 80 he
knew nothing about it. Objections were
made to any explanation.
Mr.. Tyson offered resolution that the
candidate for Speaker who shall at any time
hereafter receive the highest number of
votes from quorum Of members, he de
clarcd elected Speaker. Tabled.
