Mr.. Maynard withdrew, as a candidate for
speaker, to-day, because the Democracy could not
be united in his support. He aeknoledged the
cheap compliment as if il were serious.
Mr. Scott, of California. who was next pat up by
Mr. English, has no hope Of better success. These
various experiments are tried to gratify personal
vanity, and in the hope that all candidates will uti
matey unite in urging some combination which
may succeed. TIE stock of the most available men
has been already exhausted, and they are not inter.
ested in seeing some inferior negative adopted.

there is no probability that the Democrats, South.

All private conferences of the regular Opposition

speech fixing the responsibility Of the defeat of the
Post-Ofiice bill on the Democratic side and the

his motives as neither parliamentary nor gentle

upon his conduct as q gentleman was intended,
saying, if not denied, he would regard il afirma-
lively. Mr.. Grow, who had evidently spoken in a
parliamentary sense, answered that he might adopt
his own construction There was nothing In the
passage TO justify personal issue, though some of

Sundry orders were adopted.

Sundry orders were adopted.
Mr. French of Norfolk presented a remon-
STRANGE Of the Commissioners of the County
of Norfolk, against the transfer of the iursdic-
ton of the city Of Roxbury from the County
of Norfolk to the County of Suffolk
Orders Of the Day-Three bills were passed
to third reading.
The bill relating to traverse Jurors. and
equalizing the duty of such Jurors, came up
for action, when Mr.. Butler of Middlesex
moved to amend by substituting "allowed" for
required" in the first section of the bill, so
that it shall read "no juror shall be allowed TO
serve in the trial of causes more than twelve
days." and also providing for the repeal of the
18th section of the 18th chapter of the Revised
Statutes.
Mr.. Branning of Berkshire opposed the
amendment, and thought the bill itself was not
an Improvement ON the present system He
was i'll favor of having twenty-four men come
and stay about the Court during the term, be-
cause he was thereby enabled to become ac-
quainted with them.
MIR. Butler replied by saying that he was
willing to take the gentleman on his own
ground. Said Mr.. Butler, like to have twen-
ty-tour men stay about the Court, because it
enables me to find out their weak points; to
lind out who will vote for me at the next cleo
tlon and who wants me to vote for them and
so they think if they don't give a verdict in
my favor, they will lose my vote That IS
what they vulgarly call "horse shedding" up
in New Hampshire, and that is just what this
bill is designed to meet.
The second amendment was adopted.
MIR. Fisher of Norfolk then moved that the
bill be recommitted with instructions to report
new draft. The motion was carried and the
bill recOmmitted.
The other matters in the orders of the day
were advanced one stage.
Adjourned.
A host of petitions on the standing subjects
were presented
An order from the Senate, to consider the
expediency Of amending the Constitution so
as to abolish the Executive Council was
