An adjournment having been affected un-
Ill Wednesday. members may become more
placabls under the softening influences Of
Christmas Dinners. and be willing to give
up their differences and unite in the election
of Mr.. Banks to the Spsakership. Mach as
such result is to be deprecated, he is un-
dou5ted!y she ablest man named by the op-
position.
Fuller and his friends still labor under
the miserable halluciration that the Demo.
Gratis will in the end come TO his support,
notwithstanding the effsctual quis!as given
to all such pretentions by the able, manly
and patriotic speech Of Cobb. of Georgia.
on Friday. The ihbtdehce on the part of
the men who ask Democrats to vote for Full
Ter IS surpassed only by the silliness Of one
or two Democrats who give ear to their pro.
positions Much as the Democracy are op-
posed to !he Republicans and their insane
attempts to spring serce sectional issues up
on the country, The gulf which separates
the Democrats from the dark-lantern Know
Nothings is as wide, deep aud inpassaH!e.
Above all. the Democracy must not be ask
ed 10 reward the treachery of Henry NJ. Full
Ter with the Speakership; he is not worth
quite that price. II those who. call them
selves Southern AtSierioans dnd themselves
in bad scrape, they need not in tEeir mis-
cries call upon Hercules to help them, but
mist get out Of it in the best way they can.
Had they relied on the National Democrat.
c party, the result in The House would be
very different. The Democrats most re.
spectfully beg leave to be excused from re-
lie9ihg thehi from the ruin which has 80
properly o4ertaken them. They offer no
alliance with the Know Nothngs of any sec.
tion, unless. paegsd Of their heresies, they
place themselves on Die pla form of the
Democratic caucus, sad come right into
the Democratic fold. These are the terms
no fusion, no coalition with Know Moth
ings.
l do not think the House is any nearer
an organization than il was on the day of
meeting. The kcpe of the friends OF Banks
to carry the plurality resolution, and thus e.
lect him. has tSlce failed, and will not per-
haps be tried again. Come of the Republi-
cans are opposed to tie adoption of the rule
and sustain their opposition by the argu-
ment that If they have no majority to elect
Il Speaker. they have aone for any practi
cal, purposes of legNlatiou. They have
made their stand on Banks, and are appa
rently resolved to stick to him to the last
gasp, which resolve is BY no means COM
foftGble to CamlBeIl of Ohio, anu a brace
of 5ther gentlemen who had not begun to
despair of thstt own chances for Speaker
ship.
The Hon, John r Edie, who congratu-
lates himself on having especial guardianship
and care Of the "g,est iron Interests of
Pennsylvania. votes for Campbell instead
of Banks. BECAUSE the latter is not sound on
profession! Col. Ede, I aim told, consid-
ers this ''smart dodge" and expects BY
his influence; and, of course; that Of the a.
foresaid "great iron interests" to bring the
friends of Banks over to Csohpbell. they
win hardly come. Had the Col. called on
me, I could have given HIM much batter
excuse for voting against Banks. He is
understood to have had, about The memora-
BILE year 1890, a particular aversion to coon
skins and hard cider. Opposition to him
on that ground would have been fair and
legitimate. But the tariff Where's "Tar.
iff Andy?" Things are thus at 9 dead
lock" among the Rnow NotbIEg Republi-
cans. and the legislation Of th5 country Is
postponed by their personal difficulties and
diAefences, which is.a rather bad begiAafng
for those who boast to be, par excellence,
the Arulers of America" q.
