ANOTHER DAY OF NOTHING.
WASHINGTON, Monday, Jan. II, l95


WASHINGTON, Monday, Jan. IA, 1856.
The Senate met this morning, listened to a
PRAYER by their Chaplain, heard their journal read,
and instantly adjourned over to Thursday. The
whole duration OF the sitting may have extended to
fifteen minutes.
The reason for this unusual haste is to be sought
in some hitch in the caucus machinery with regard
TO the Printing. 1t has been once awarded to
Nicholson & FOrney of The Union; but that did
not work and Mr.. FOrney saw fit TO decline, leav-
ing the job (nominally) to Nicholson alone. Still,
there is some jar; for the election was to have been
held to-day; but the majority came directly out Of
caucus into the Senate to move and carry the ad-
journmeDt.
In the House there was call attempted at first
on motion OF John Wheeler, through fear that the
anti Banks men were absent in dangerous num-
bers. The call was voted down on the Yeas and
Nays but its object was attained by the time spent
in defeating it. Then the House proceeded to vote
for Speaker with occasional interruptions for per-
sonsl explanations, until the time for ad ournment
There are more Banks men out of the city just now
than Of their opponents, and the absurd and ruin
GUS practice Of pairing off operates continually
against US. Whenever Richardson man, a Fuller
man or stragger wishes to 60 away, he finds
some Banks man TO pair of with him; so that
practically all the opponents Of Banks act as one
party. think the Banks men should only pair
with their leading antagonists, the Nebraska De-
mocracy; if the Fuller men want to pair, let them
pair with the boilers and stragglers "Three
upon one" is not fair play.
Mr.. BRENTON took occasion to-day to change
his vote from Mr.. Bennett OF New-YOrk to Mr.
Thurston of K. I-yery much, l Judge to the re:
lief OF the former and the annoyance Of the latter
who is one of the most steadfast supporters Of Mr.
Banks. A little after, he rose again and made
speech about The TRIBUNE, which appears TO
have said something that stuck in his crop"
though be did not clearly make out what it was.
Without consulting any other Member, or asking
meeting OF his colleagues in the support of Mr..
Banks, (he is Chairman of their meeting), he rose
in his place on the 5th, and gave notice that he
should vote no more for Bsnks-a promise which
he has since kept. His apology is that he wished
TO Organize. Now if one mans throwing OF from
a candidate who had One Hundred and Five votes
10 one who had none, and was not In nomination,
is the way to organize the House, then do not
understand the matter. | bave no doubt that we

WHAT THE mARDs THINK OF 1T.

Such of our readers as may be curious to know
in what light the recent dive of the Softs is re-
garded by their rivals of the Hard faction will
read h interest an article given in another col.
umn entitled The Softs eating dirt at Syracuse"
and taken from The N. T. Daily Ne,es, the organ
of the Hards in this city.
That the S0fts have % eaten dirt" at Syracuse, is
what cannot be denied. But the Hards must not
exut too much over the Soits for that. Is not
that dirt which the SOfts have at last consented to
swallow the very same dirt which the Hards eat
habitually, and have eaten from the beginning
1t scarcely looks well in the Hards to hold up the
SOtts to derisiOn and contempt for having at last
consented to do that which the Hards have them
selves been doing all the time for eight or ten
years past Others may very justly feel for this
selfhumiliatiOn on the part of the Soits all the
contempt which The Ncns expresses. Even the
Hards may feel it too but decency ought to pre-
vent them from expressing it, The passion into
which The NeeS gets, reminds us of IN excited
colored gentleman whom we encountered the
other day, in our walk down town, venting
his rage at being choused out Of Il profitable job
by another gentleman of the same dark complexion,
by calling upon the bystanders to take notice that
his successful rival was "a niger
There are other things also which The Ners
ought 10 take into account. OF the utter ras-
caity of the SOfts there would seem TO be little
doubt vet without their votes how is the Kansas
Nebraska Democracy going to carry this State
Being such selfish individuals as they are. Of
course their votes not TO be had without u con-
sidcration. This, we take il, is the policy upon
which Mr.. Pierce and Mr.. Gushing have acted
and they understand these things very weH-in
placing the New.lork Custom-house in the hands
of the Sofia and il seems TO US that instead of
quarreling with the Administration for this Th,
Nexs ought to see in the new Soft programme laid
down at Syracuse, abundant reason to congratulate
the Administration on the wisdom of their policy
and the success of their maneuyer

We have not, Of course, very high opinion OF

that nothing but the most dreadful pressure could
have reduced them TO submit to 80 pitable hu-

ALBANY, Monday Jan. II, 1856.
Day is dawning. There is prospect for organ
zation Of the House Of Assembly, and that to-mos
row. But who will be the Speaker, who the Clerk.
who have charge Of the doors, &c, il not quite 40
clear. Mr. Foot's resolution of Saturday, providing
for adopting the plurality rule after three votes on
Tuesday morning, called up by Mr.. B. Smith.
when Mr.. Foot proposed several corrections, rather
than amendments, so that the plurality rule might
take effect tomorrow, instead OF week from to-mor
las it would under the reading Of Saturdays

This gave rise to various amendments and pro.
racted debate, the Know Nothngs insisting upon the
adoption Of the plurality rule instanter Time thus
consumed until long after the usual adjOurning hour
when Mr.. Foot hit upon more expeditions mode Of
coming to vote on bis resolution. Ii 10 with

Upon this he called for the previous question. His call
promptly seconded by oil parties, and his resou

The question now arises, Who will be- elected under
the Plurality rulel Mr.. Odell Know. Nothingj bss

the Re Republicans-33.
There were no indications this morning of a union
among the Democrats though l am sure the Repubi

Mr. Foot declared this morning that the presiding
officer belonged to the Democrats. The chances fay

New-York daily tribune., 1856-01-16

The american Democrat of Monday contains
letter from DIR. Walk, NJ. c., complaining that
though assailed in TIE TRIBUNE, he is not allowed
the privilege of replying through the same medium.
What would DR.. Walk have On Tuesday last we
published his reply which was sufficiently impudent
considering we had in our hands poorer evidence
than is afforded by his own handwriting, and the
testimony of some respectable citizens of his Dis
trict, to prove that his reply was false, end the
charges against him true. How, then, can Walk
and this American Democrat now have the assur-
rance to declaim about our allowing him to be
assailed iu our columns, and then refusing to let
him be heard in his own defense We respectfully
suggest to both the Know Nothing journal and the
Know Nothing NJ. c. that nobody has done any
thing to destroy all public consideration for that
distinguished Know Nothing except the gentleman
HIMSELF and that repentance and silence on his
part would, under the circumstances, be much
more becoming than buster.

Our method of responding to the lnsoient sssump-

has naturally enough encouraged the shareholders
to 60 on from one pitch Of insolence TO another that
this insolence needs only TO be met in spirit OF
manhood in order to appear the empty thing it Ia.
If the style of THE TRIBUNE appears to dough-
face journals little too demonstratve, it in our
comments upon gubernatorial messages and legis-

seem to depart too much from the kd-glove style
most suitable in their judgment for the handling Of
these delicate subjects,-We beg TO assure those
Journals that we have adopted this style not to graf

but rather in the hope of encouraging them TO VEN

When the Press of the North shall have generally
learned-and it is making rapid progress that way
to treat with the cool Indifference they deserve
the airs, assumptions, dictatorial, domineering
pretensons and empty threats of our Southern
brethren about disunion civil war, and the ruin Of
Northern commerce and manufactures, we shall
ourselves very willingly relapse into the same state
of cool indifference. Instead of showing up the
f,llies and nonsense Of our Southern brethren, we
shall be ready at all times to throw kindly vail
over weaknesses, which, being understood and
recognized as such, become proper objects OF pity
and commiseraton. A stranger who should visit
this city, and under the false pretense of being
person ofgreat wealth and consequence at home,
should run in debt TO our tradesmen turn the heads
of our women, and deceive the whole city, would

be neither necessary expcdient in the case ola
similar person who was well understood to be suffer

ings and great talk, as they imposed upon nobody,
would require no notice on the part of the Press.
