THIRTY-FOU CONGR Es s.
FIRST SESSION.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
WEDNESDAY,. JAN. 90.

Mr.. CRAWFORD submitted the following pro-
position: That the House should elect Speaker
in the same manner il elects President, when
there is no choice by the people-each State being
entitled to one vote.
He said the House was bringing itself into con-
tempt, and that there less interest felt in the
action of the House by the people than there was
four weeks ago. an
He hoped If his proposition was not adopted,
that the President would prorogue Congress to any
day he might deem proper. n
Mr.. TODD said he objected to the proposition Of
Mr.. CAMPBELL because it would place the majority in
the power of the minority. He had made calcu-
lation and found that Is States would vote for Mr.
BANKS, 10 for Mr. ORR, and for Mr.. FULLER
with 8 scattering. Yet the population of the Is
States which would vote for Mr.. BANKS was far
larger than that Of the remaining votes.
He therefore preferred the adoption of the plu-
rality rule, as being more Democratic.
He moved to lay the proposition of Mr. CRAw-
FORD on the table.
The ayes and noes were then taken on the mo-
ton, with this result:
Ayes, 1856; noes, $50 Il was laid on the
table.
Mr.. CLINGMAN offered a resolution that after
three more ballots for Speaker, plurality rule
shall elect. 1G4
Mr.. CLINGMAN advocated the adoption Of the
resolution on the ground of necessity. No man
be elected by plurality vote unless he is the
choice Of majority. The third party, those who
vote for Mr. FULLER, can decide the election. II
they choose to vote for Mr. ORR he win be elected.
If for Mr.. BANKS, he win be elected.
He offered this resolution on his own response
bilty. 1t had been said that all who voted for it
would be responsible for the election of Mr.. BANKS.
He did not so regard it, 1t was the fault of the
majority If Mr.. BANKS should be elected.
He believed the power Of the Speaker was great
ly exaggerated in this contest
The committees could not control the action of
the House. The small committees had good deal
of influence, it is true--the Committees Print

The Fourierite Philosopher was accosted late
yesterday afternoon in the National Hotel, by
the Hon. Albert Rust of Arkansas, who in
quired if his name was Greeley" to which
the sapient philosopher responded, yes. Mr.. R.
then inquired if he was "a non-combatant?" to
which the philosopher responded, Cat the same
time rumaging his grey coat pocket for bot
tie of his backbone liniment,'D it depended
upon circumstances Whereupon Mr.. R. dealt
him blow with cane directly across that
portion of his head, awhere the hair ought to
grow" and the doctor fell PROSTATE. Several
other blows were struck and we learn that the
philosopher Showed signs of fight /" but made
no particular demonstration.
We do not understand precisely the nature
of the provocation for this Gas the philosopher
will write to the Tribune) "most brutal, saw
age, and unprovoked assault /" but we presume
it is the result of some indiscreet epistolary eff
fusion to the Tribune, for which the philoso-
pher has become SO notorious of late; and we
add, that if the !" devil got more than his due
this time, he has failed to receive his just pro-
portion on various.former occasions, and there
fore he ought to be content with moderate
show Of justice, and patiently apply his lini-
ment to the bruised scalp. It's lustre and bril-
liancy will soon be restored, and the philoso-
phic ideas will flow again in the accustomed
channel of Misrepresentation and personal
abuse

General Ca.,.

We learn that the General is grievously an
noyed at the persistent efforts of his personal
enemies to rule him off the track in the next
Presidential race, by circulating the rumor that
he neither desires nor aspires to the Presiden-
cy. The General thinks it is breach of ETH
quette'and good breeding for gentleman to
declare himself candidate for the Presidency I;
and, while he persists in saying that he is not
candidate, he is very willing to accept the
Office, honor, and emoluments. We concur
with the General in his etiquette, but we do
not think his is the party most likely to prac-
tice it Etiquette in such matters has long
since ceased to be considered by the Generals
political friends, and we would suggest to him
that, if he really desires the honor, he had bet
ter put the gaffies on, march boldly to the CEN
tire of the ring, and defy his antagonists.
