Mr.. Greeley telegraphs the Tribune,
VIM. Cullom was chosen Clerk to-day by
the vote of majority of nearly all the Re-
publicans and most of the Southern Amer
leans. The fact that he had fought the
Nebraska bill to the last, and lost his seat
in Congress. thereby endeared him to he
ant Nehraska men. 1t was deemed wise
not to risk the chance of defeat on Gov
Reeder's case on question of the compa-
rative regularity of the credentials, which
is Whitfeld's strong point, but to fight the
battle only on the merits and that at the
earliest moment. | know Democrats who
will sustain Gov. Reeder's claim to the
seat know no Republican who will op-
pose it.
