HARRISBURG, Jan. 7, 1857.
Legislative Matters-Who is to be United States
Senator a-O6ice Seekers.
Both houses completed their organization to-day,
except few of the minor offices, which will be fill
ed in the morning. The committees will be an
nounced on Friday and all will be ready for bust
meas.
Tomorrow the House will draw the committee in
the contested of George R. Smith, of Philadel
pha city, (old) who fairly elected by three
Ority, but through mistake of the election officers
Of one of the precincts John Ramsey was returned
elected by seventeen. An effort is being made to
stave of the decision until after next Tuesday,
which day the Senator will be elected.
The grand fight among the democrats is between
John Robbins and FOrney. R,boins has the united
vote of Philadelphia, while Forney has the country
members generally Some Of the Robbins men from
the city swear vengeance ForDey, and say that he
cannot be elected If he does get the nomination.
knowing ones say they talk large to keep up the
price.
General Cameron and his friends are confident
that he can be elected over FOrney But have no
faith in any such opinion, and predict that Forney
will be nominated and that he will be elected by the
joint convention on Tuesday. The whole influence
of the incoming and the outgoing administration is
with Forpey.
The Speaker of the House, Mr.. Getz, is an amia-
BILE, genflemanly man, and promises well to make
good Speaker. The Speaker Of the Senate-the
Hon. David Taggsrt-is decided wag. His speech
on his election to the speakership was a curiosity
and kept the Senate in roars of Laughter.
About the greatest nuisance about the Capitol is
the hungry Office hunters running about the house,

Buchanan for appointments Nearly every demo
cratic member from the West wants to be Marshal

the convention on Tuesday next. Cameron will re

COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS AT HAvASA.-By the
letter Of our Havaoa correspondent, which we
publish elsewhere, it will be seen that trade con-
tinues very iractve in that market, in conse
quence of the uuwillingness of holders to sunmir
10 a further reduction in the prices of sugar.
while exchanges stUl maintained their advancing
movemant. The measures of the government to
relieve the community from the evils consequent
upon excessive speculation, are inspiring the
Ha5aneros with the hope of a continuance of high
prices Of sugars and stocks, SO that every man
may sell out what he now holds and realise q
profit But these things only show to us that
other peoples experience profits no oue. We,
too, have tried post notes as q circulating me
dium, In the times of Nick Biddle, and dearly We
had TO pay for it. In fact the Issuing of pre-
misses to pay, bearing interest at ten per ceat, is
oaly pst'ios eff the evil day. Tue six months
they have o RON must transpire, and then they
must be paid, with the addition of accrued in
terest Al that time stocks will be no higher in
value nor more ready of sale than now, and
sugars may be il a like position. We think tue
government Of Cnba has made mistake Ia au-
