The Organization of the Next Congress,

WASHINGTON, December 3.-Nearly all the South
American members of Congress are now in confe-
renee in reference to the organization of the House.
The probability is that they will agree not to vote
for the plurality resolution relative to the election
of Speaker, but put forward their own candidate
open to the sutfrages of other members of the
House. The Democrats will also probably agree to
vote for the plurality resolution, the design of
many being to unite these two parties ultimately
upon the American candidate

The New York Tribune suggests the

probability, that the bronze statue Of a
great man of modern times, which is
about to be set up in the State House
yard, Boston, will share the fate of the
fgure-head of Andrew Jackson OH the
frigate Constitution, some years since,
and he found some morning carrying its
head in that inconvenient way first in
uoduced by St. Dennis. We should
not marvel if this hint of the Tribune
were adopted by. its Black Republican
friends in Boston. The statue Of Web
ster can not be a very pleasant thing for
Il Boston man to look upon; as long as
the chair in the Senate once occupied by
that GREAT man is flIel by that blatant
a~emagogue and vulgar partisan, Henry
Wilson. Of, then, with the noble head
of the god~like Daniel, and supply its
place with hat Of Wilson, Burlinga'ne,

BARNUM ON THE AMERICAN EAGLE
P. T. Barnum delivered a 18th of July
Grafton at Bridgeport, Conn. Here is
an extract
The " American Eagle" is a considera-
b'eof a bird she fly forever--but
If every vagabond who can stuff ballot
boxes and swind1e his way into office is
allowed to pluck a feather if the Bird
Of Liberty is to be drspoiIed by unprinci-
pied politicians if she ia to extend her
wings "ver the slave trade and piracy ;
if she is to protect Republication and be
made responsible for all the crimes which
congressional, legislative and municipal
bodies can commit, she will soon be as
naked As a we'll dressed turkey.
