rho snenkersbip,

On Wednesday last, Messrs. Richardson and
Fuller Withdrew from the candidacy for Speaker
of the House of Representatives. The Republl'
cans held caucus and resolved to hold on to
Banks; the Democratic caucus adopted the follow
lowing resolution:
RESOLVED, That adhering TO the principles an
nounced Sy the Democratic caucus that nominated
Mr. Richardson for Speaker, and in view OF his
withdrawal as a candidate, we hereby nominate
for tho office Of Speaker of the present House Of
Representatives, the Hon. James l.. Orr, of South
Carolina.
"Thus it will be seen," says the Baltimore
American, ''that the partizan platform on which
MIR. Richardson was nominated was in effect re-
enacted, and Mr.. Orr placed upon it, the Demo-
cratic members thus persisting in what isgeneral-
" admitted to be the only real obstacle to the or
ganization of the House on national basis.
When the balloting was resumed Mr.. Or got the
same vote Mr.. Richardson had received. The
National Americans scattered their votes on
Thursday, but on Friday returned to the support
of Mr.. Fuller.

The February number of this periodical has
been received, so changed in typographical ap-
pearance that it required some inspection to recog
nize it. We are heartily pleased to notice this
improvement in the Messenger" and trust that
the enterprise of its worthy proPrietors may be
generously rewarded by largely increased pat
ronage. Under the iudicious management OF Mr..
Thompson the work improves with each success
sive number in literary merit, and becomes more
and more worthy Of the support and fostering en-
ccuragsment Of the southern people.

Tho Fun Spoiled.

Among other mean tricks now common among
boys and that we remember to have seen practlsed
in our school boy days by The big boys upon the
little ones, is that of placing chip upon the head
of one little shaver and inducing another to knock
toff, for the purpose of getting up. fight be-
tween good friends. With pretty much the same
spirit the Democratic papers never lose an oppor-
tunity to get up family quarrel among their OPP
ponents. and always endeavur to widen the breach
when the slightest matter Of controversy arises
Nothing pleases them better than to see friend
arrayed against friend and those who ought to be
''cheek by jowl," pulling each others ears.
We have rarely witnessed manifestations OF
such intense satisfaction as that exhibited by the
Democratic press at the prospect of grand blow
up in the American party in regard to the 18th
section of the Philadelphia platform. how
they enjoyed the sharp shooting of our Richmond
contemporaries, whispering 10 the one-"Hit him
again, Dick, he has no friends" and reminding
the other that 'last tags pzen." They hoped to
see the theatre Of action enlarged, until the party
throughout the State should be so divided and dis
tracied that concert OF action would be impracti-
cable. But their sport has been most cruelty and
unceremoni0usly interrupted by the action of the
American Council. That body, representing the
sentiment of the party in the State, antbortaivey
and we have no doubt finally settled the 18th seq
ton controversy, and the msmbers parted company
on good terms, determined to work together cor
daily and earnestly against their anltAmerican
opponents The "War of the Roses" which it
was fondly hoped would work disaster, has been
brought to close, and The Democratic editors
who grinned with satisfaction at the prospect are
standing In gloomy disappointment, with their
fingers ir their mouths.s

Leap Year.

Tho os.rung-,niuded" women OF the North
seem to be awaiting themselves of the privileges
of leap year in good earnest. We publish else
where an account Of their doings in Lowell, Mas
sachusetts, and we notice that in Aurora, Illinois
they have formally resolved that ''if they are not
married this year somebody ,ciA be 10 blame"
The ladies' Of the South are never disposed TO
woo the men, even during leap year, and if they
were disposed it would not be necessary. Their
modest worth, uurivaled beauty, and unsupported
virtue, render them so attractive that they are al
ways surrounded with gallant and devoted admi-
rers, and are never at loss for a husband when
they become tired of singe-blessedness. Bloom
erisni, pubc-lecturing, professional life and man
counting may strike the fancy OF the Lowell ANA
zons and suit the taste of the fast "gas" Of Auro
IA, but the ladies Of the South consider such prac-
tices more honored in the breach, and more appro-
pirate to men who wear The breeches.
