chip.
There is no prospect Of an organization until the
Plurality rule is adopted and the chance Of It's adop

elected Congress cannot djonm over the holidays as
Joint resolution is required 10 do so aud THAI cannot
be had without organized House, with power TO

Cromwell ought he found among the people TO dis
peIse H. and indict the members who have from day

sentiments of DisunOn. Neither the Senate nor House
can adjourn more than three days without the joint
action of both Houses. This will undoubtedly be
avoided by Jaring off, and lesving the two Houses
without quorum the desire TO go home may bring
the House TO its senses and procure the election OF
Speaker.
1t j, more settled question than ever that neither
Democrat Anti-Lecompton Democrat Douglas Demo
cT8t, nor South American, can be elected Speaker.
Tlere is man in the Administration ranks who can
concentrate votes enough to procure an election,
plurality Of members are for Mr. Sherman, and they
viii not abandon him after he has been bitterly
sanlied They ray they will have bin or nothing.
IL Is asserted thus evening, good authority that
the Democrats will concentrate their vote upon Miles
Tay Tor u Louislana Monday, in which case Mr..
BOoOck will withdraw from the field Though num-
Der of Americans have expressed willingness to vote
for Mr. Iay lor 1t doubtful whether the entire South
American vote can be concentrated upon him. Al
though all extreme Southern man, he is entirely
ceptOnSble.
