DIR. CLUTHEN'S REPLY,

On Monday night last, We received the

4 SPEAKER ELECTED

The prolrac,ed struggle for the Speak.
crship WAS brought tc close last evening
| by the election of Hon. n. Z. Banks
Nine full weeks were consumed before this
result WIS a;tsincd, and it was finally
brought aSnH: ly the adoption OF the plu
raIty rule. Although it is absolutely Ger
tain that there is a majority of represcn-
tatircs in the House who agree with Mr..
banks Oh the sectional questions which
now agitate the country, set it las been
demonstrated, again and again, that a por-
tion OF his own political friends would ncv.
or agree TO vote for him for Speaker, and
he.cc that he could never be elected Lv n
majority vote.
As we haye remarked, the contest was
finally terminated under the operation OF
the plurality rule. Tho votes taken du.
ring several days past had indicated ,ha,
Speaker could only be chosen by rcsor.
ting to that rule. There was strong re-
pungence amongst the national members
t" its adoption, moro especially after the
revolving declaration Of Mr. Banks as to
the test Of superiority in the races. The
southern Know Nothings manifested de-
termination against casting their votes for
the Democratic nominees not less persis-
tent than their refusal TO vote for Mr..
Banks. Gu Friday however. propositions
were made by Democrats to which the
southern Know N"things indicated u dis
position to accede-the one proposing Mr..
Oliver, an Old Line Wing, and the other
Mr. Aiken, n National Democrat, for
Speaker. The votes on these propositions.
compared with that given on the same day
on resolution declaring Mr. kanks the
Speaker, ZnY"d So little difference ,ha,
It Was exceedingly doulilui what would be
;hc Se2uh upon the adoption "frh- plural.
ltf rule. At this poin, Mr.. Smith, Of Ten.
nesee, believing that the chances Of Mr..
Aiken were at least equal to those Of Mr..
Banks, brought forward resolution for
The plurality rule. Mr.. Orr immediu,cI.
withdrew uncondi,ionaly his name as the
democratic nominee, and the resolution
was adopted. The result WAS, as We have
stated, the election Of Mr.. Banks by plu-
rsiity ofthreo votes--Mr. Banks receiving
l03 votes and Mr.. Aiken loo, six Ma.
,ional Americana throwing their votes on
Mr.. Fuller, aud four Republicans throw ing
theirs on Mr.. L. ID. Campbell. 1t is ap.
parent that " perfect union Of the national
members the four republicans voting for
Mr. CampbelD would have elected Mr.
Aiken by plurality Of three. Thus has
ended tho mos! extraordinary struggle
that has ever occurred. Although the re-
suit is one which every national man will
regret, vet rs the Republicans have known
majority ii the House, and therefore were
entitled to the Speaker, there is reason for
acqulescing. inasmucll as it enables the
machinery Of government once moro to
move on.

REPLY OF COL, BARNES.

The argument used by Col BARNES for
The State to keep aloof from Conventions,
Is the old fogy notion of the advocates of
retrogrcssion and mastery inactivity
The COL most surely must place an undue
amount OF Faith in the wisdom and correct
ness of the State, when he saws That the
other States arc all wrong and South Caro-
lima is right. Every State in tho Union,
every Southern State, is wrong in sending
delegates to Cincinnati, but South Carolina.
she is the cmbodiment OF wisdoa,-of politi-
cal sagacty.
II the advocates of the State being repre-
sented, have three arguments 20 support
their position. we are sorry We san find but
one to support the opposition and that is,
that we must adhere to the course we ha,e
ever pursued. We can prove this by Col.
BARNES own lcrlaralion He would be
willing for the State, through her delegates,
on the Isl Monday in May, to declare herself
in favor of the recollection If Gcnl Pierce.
