The SPEAKER IN TUscANY.-The correspor-
dent of the Newark advertiser translates, from
the purest Tuscan, the following from the of !
cial journal Of that State:-
The new President of the Congress of the United States
elected after two months daily ballotng--sgnor N.
Banks-is negro belonging TO the republican repre-
eentaton of Massachusetts Al q man OF color and as
an abotionist he does not enjoy the sympathy of the
Southern representatives. The democratic party TO
which the administration Of President Pierce belongs
and the party Of the Know Nothines have, notwitn-
standing, little pleasure in this choice
Banks will certainly be obliged to go to
Europe, in order that he may prove the truth OF
the seeming paradox that black may be white
under some circumstances. Or, as he is repre-
sented to be acquainted with all the living
languages, he might write letter in very
choice Italian to the editor of IL Monitor TAs-
cano and put himself right on the record Let
us hear from Signor Banks

TIE CONTESTED ELECTION FOR CRY CoMP
TRoLLER-GILEs VERSUS FLAGG.-This case
will be brought on for trial this morning in
the Supreme Court, before Judge Roosevelt
and struck jury, composed of twelve of our
most respectable citizens. From the list of
forty eight names selected by the Commission.
ers Of Jurors, the counsel for the contestants
Of the disputed Office, struck off twelve each,
leaving twenty four from which the jury are to
be taken according to the prescribed form.
The case of Brandreth against Ferdon, for
the contested seat in the State Senate and
which was recently decided in favor of the
latter, is in many respects similar to that which
will come up to-day for adjudication in the
Supreme Court. They both furnish strong
proofs of the grossly negligent and loose
manner in which some Of our elections are
conducted.
We are glad, however, to perceive, from the
case now before the public, that revolution has
been effected in the process of trial, and we
trust the plan now adopted will be followed
hereafter particularly in cases where the con-
tested Office is one Of much importance. The de.
cision of the claim to contested seats by legis-
lative bodies is generally influenced in soma
degree by political considerations, aud it i
therefore almost impossible to obtain fair
and impartial trial. Where the questions 10
dispute are left to the decision of struck
jury, there is, however, every reason to ex-
pect that it will be just one, or that poltic-
will be ignored in their consideration. The
jurors in such cases will, as general thing.
be selected on account Of their character and
position in the community; but if they are
chosen for their political aflinities or predilec
tions, the balance between the contestants will
at least be preserved.

Mr.. FILLMORE AND THE KNOW NoTHINGs.-
Since the election in the fall of 1854, which
placed Myron II. Clark in the executive chair,
there has been at intervals considerable con-
troversy as to how Willard Fillmore cast his
vote-whether for the present Governor or
Daniel Ullman. We learn that this point can
be satisfactorily settled by letter. still in ex-
istence, written by Mr.. Fillmore in January,
1855, to Isaac Newton, the well known Quaker
of Philadelphia. This document, now that
Mr.. Fillmore is again on the track, becomes OF
no little value. It IL said, too, that the letter
contains the ex-President's views as to the or
ganization Of Know Nothings, and it would be
well to make them public at this time. The
original, and copy Of the original, are in
existence. viii Mr.. Fillmofe's friends pro-
duce the letter at once, and settle the question
as to his vote in 1854, and his views on the
subject of Know Nothipgism

POSTAL REFORM: OWED The POST OFFICE
The slOth Is like Q mail coach,
And travels very slow;
The tortoise, like post morse,
Along the ground doth go.
The msdern mail, much like a snail,
Crawls DER the beaten track;
The thief takes of our letters,
And he never brings Them back.
The lazy postman, like post,
Now loiters on the way;
The sleeping postman takes nap,
And SHORES the hours away.
The postboy's horn is heard ca :h morn,
As o'er the hill he rides;
The coach aud. six il in a dix,
And slower than the tides.
The carrier dove, With words Of love,
Flies onward fast and free;
The air balloon, both morn aud noon,
Scars high DER land Sea.
The locomotive aud the train
Defy both wind and storm;
Obstructives all must clear the way;
Look sharp postal Reform ~

C CLANCY, editor Of the k. n. paper in
Ellsworth, who has just sold out 10 the black
republican party, compliments Mlliken, the
late H. n. candidate for Congress in the East
ern District, as follows =
{" He is poor, weak, effeminate, ranting
aboliiionist, who swore himself into The Amer
lean party like Wilson, Banks, Foster & Co.,
of Massachusetts, and their inferior only in
spunk and intelligence. For one, we acknowl-
edge TO have been mnst basely cheated in our
estimate Of MIlliken. and had we known him
as well in August 1854, as we do now, we
might have saved ourselves fifty dollars in
cash, twenty dollars worth of hard work and
one, hundred and thirty dollars Of moriifca-
iion-:otal, two hundred dollars."
