At Sea Again.-The act of the Democrats
of the House, in settingat naught this morn
ing their previous caucus determination not
to adjourn until Speaker should have been
elected, was doubtless brought about by the
knowledge that quite number Of those who
vote for Mr.. Richardson were disposed to re-
tire from the hall, having opposed the pro-
tracted-sessiOn resolution in caucus, and being
in too feeble health to permit them to undergo
longer the terrible physical exhaustion result
ing from the excitement of twenty hours con-
tinuous session. By thus seeding they pre-
vented the election of Mr.. Banks, which would
have been accomplished by the failure Of
Richardson men to answer to roll call, as we
explain above, had the sitting been protracted
