REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
The Republicans meet an hour hence in caucus,
on invitation of the Ohio Delegation, to consider
the policy of calling general Opposition or Repub-
lican conference. The Pennsylvania and New
Jersey Delegations both favor an Opposition call,
to bring in all the elements. which strict Repub
Ican call might not.
TIIR SOUTHERN AMERICANS.
II is now nearly ascertained that the Southern
Americans cannot cooperate, but with the exceP-
ton of the Maryland men, win support Hill of
Georgia, ifthe Democracy unite as they propose.
THE sPEAKERsHIP.
IL is believed that 1l6 votes will elect Speaker,
as heretofore stated in my dispatches. Three Dem
Ocrats will be absent, or nOn-yOting probably The
Republicans will only be short Of Frank OF New
York, who is sick, but still expected in time.
The principal Anti-LecomptOn members have
signified their readiness to support Sherman.
The Southern Opposition members are now hold
Ing conference. Much caucusug is going on

think the House will organize on Monday, and
organize on the right basis If not it will be the

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4, 1859.
THE SPEAKERsHP.
The Democrats, in caucus, have agreed to sup
port Mr.. BocOck of Virginia for Speaker to-mor-
row, ms the South Americans have Mr. Gilmore OF
North Carolina, while candidate has been agreed
on by the Republicans OF by the Aut-Lecompton
Democrats. Mr.. Sherman of Ohio and Mr.. Grow
of Pennsylvania will both be voted for tomorrow,
on the first ballot, and some think Mr. Grow will
lead, but do not. After ballot or two, the Re
publican vote will doubtless concentrate on the
strongest man. hope that most of the Ant-Le-
compton Democratic votes viii then be cast for
that man. do not despair of an election to-nor-
row, though the chances are against it.
THE CLERKsHiP.
If ANYBODY is elected Clerk tomorrow by our
side, John w. FOrney viii, l think, be the man, or
James c. Allen of Illinois, the present incumbent
SERGEANT NT-ARds.
For Sergeant-at-Arms, Henry W. Hoffman OF
Maryland, lately beaten for member by close
vote. is most spoken Of. If he should not be sup
ported by our side, think Mr.. GlOssbrenner of
Pennsylvania, late Sergeant, viii accomplish re-
election.
THE PRINTER.
Nothing is yet clear as to Printer or DoOrkeeper

There is a rumor that the Fire Eaters propose to
6llibusler tomorrow, and make speeches about
Old John Brown and Helpers book As such
speeches arr clearly out of order, prior to the cleo
ton Of Speaker, presume they will not be permit
ted. All signs forbode stormy sessions. II. G.
