The SPEAKERsHIP OF TUE UNITED STATES
HoUsE OF REPREsESTATIvEs.-A long con-
test for the election OF Speaker is apprehend-
ed at the commencement of the next sess-
ion. Mr.. Etheridge, of Tennessee, it is said,
has no aspirations for the place. 1t is con-
coded that the choice must be made from
the South American members. Winter
Davis, if reelected, will be a candidate.-
Davis would undoubtedly give the Republic
cans the control of the best committees,
which is the particular thing they desire
The probability is, that the struggle tor the
Speakership will be as protracted as that
which preceded the election of Winthrop,
and be determined ultimately by resort to
the plurality rule. Mr.. Forney, of the Phil
adelphia Press, is candidate for Clerk Of
the House.

Sunday law, which forbids travelling or ri

House of Correction for six days. Last SUM-
day, the Mayor gave orders to the police to
enforce the law to the letter. During the
day, the officers obtained the names of the
owners and drivers Of sundry carriages, in
which persons were conveyed to and from
Church. Among those returned, was min
lister of the gospel, judge, legislator, and
several Of our prominent business men,
These gentlemen think it hard case that
such respectable citizens as they, should be
made subjects of the law.

nfA- Hon. Robert Dale Owens work on
Spiritualism is in press and will shortly be
published. The New York Herald says
ave have booksellers pamphlet announc-
ing forthcoming work, "of what is usu-
ally called the supernatural, and bearing
the ghostly title of "Footfalls on the Boun-
Diary of Another World, by Robert Dale
Owen, formerly member of Congress, and
American Minister at Naples" The subject
is allied to spiritualism, but is addressed to
all the various forms of voluntary spiritual
manifestations, instead of those evoked by
table tippers, rappers, and other mediums
And so another late prominent politician is
added to the list of public men who have
gone over in the flesh to that world of spir.
its to which Gov. Talmadge, Judge Ed
monds and host of others have been car.

The Corn and Hog Crop.

The Cincinnati Price Current gives a
summary of the intelligence from its Cor
respondents in the hog and corn regions of
the West. 1t says:
The corn crop in Ohio is much better
than was expecteda month ago, and, gen.
orally speaking, is a full average, taking
into consideration the greater breadth of
land planted. .... ......
In Indiana the crop is excellent, and in
all the Wabash country il unusually heavy,
the ears being longer, and better filed than
usual. Indeed, we have no complaints from
any portion of that State; in all parts the
crop appears to be satisfactory A good
crop OF wheat has been sown, and it looks
well. -.n
In Illinois, except from few counties in
the Northern portion of the State where it
was injured By frost, the crop is fair, in many
places good aud in all good rich corn lands,
heavy. 1T IL not vet fully matured, but the
present weather is very favorable. Ii is now
nearly out of danger, and generally exceeds
the expectation of the farmer. .s.
In Missouri. the crop is pretty good, though
like Iowa, we have not heard from many
points in this State. sI..
In Kentucky, the crop is represented as a fair
average, and is fully matured, the quality
being excellent. -..s---- b.. .-..s-r..
In Virginia, the corn crop, we learn, is a
partial failure, and not over two-thirds OF
last years crop. tta-s a...-
We have no very definite advices from
Tennessee, but from what we have, our i'm
preston is the crop is moderately good,
though in some places it is short, conse-
quent upon the drought. ..e..i.s.
In all the places We heard from, hogs are
being generally fed with great care and in-
dustry, and it is exceedingly difficult to
purchase stock hogs, showing that the own
ers feel satisfied they are fully able to feed
all they have. The reverse was the case at
this time last year. In some parts of Indiana
stock hogs are scarce and in demand, as
high as Al gross having been paid for them.
There seems to be no speculation going on,
and we hear of no contracts being made
The impression is general with the farmers,
that they will obtain high prices for their
hogs, but all those who went in so freely
last Fall, are now holding off. The indica-
tons are that the number of hogs brought
to market will be AS great as last year, and
that their condition will very much i'm

DOUGLAS PRosPEcTs.-A letter from WASH
ington says:
The result of the California election is a
fearful blow to Douglas, who discovers that
his peculiar doctrines have taken no hold in
any of the Free States. The Republicans
are not disappointed at Bakers defeat, be-
cause they made very little calculation on
election
Unless Ohio should go against the Repub-
leans, which no one here thinks even
possible, the Little Giant maycosidered him.

anxious for Democratic success in any of the
Western States here the friends of Doug

appointed. Douglas condition is pitiable
abandoned at the South by his party
friends, and unable at the North to obtain
recruits from the Republican ranks, he IS

stools. His vaulting ambition has oerleap-

INEBRIATE AsYLUMs-ProfD Dunbar is ac-
lively engaged in the work of establishing
an lnebriate Asylum in Maryland. The
labors, makes most earnest appeal in be.
half of such institutions. A large asylum
of that kind has been begun at Binghamp-
ton, under the charge of Dr. Turner and
we doubt not that after its beneficient in
fluences have been observed, many others
will be founded. 1t is well ascertained that
the appetite for intoxicating drinks, like
any other appetite, is hereditary, so that
sometimes a child is scarcely more to be
blamed for it than for having received a
consumptive weakness from its parents. 1t
is the opinion of the experienced men who
favor the establishment of these asylums,
that intemperance. particularly in its worst
stages, should he treated as disease. They
belive that with special treatment, it may,
in many cases. be cured, and in most cases
alleviated.
The demand for such institutions is very
great We have been told that DIR. Turner
has received several hundred applications
for admission, many of which came from
clergymen, ladies, aud other persons, occu-
plying most respectable positions in society
They have inherited an uncomfortable de-
sire for intoxicating drugs, or liquors, and
plead for reception into this asylum as
their only hope Of usefulness, safety, and
even of life. We believe that this treatment
of inebriates has been for sometime prac-
ticed in some of the European cities, and
with the most fattering success.

contrives to get to the house without passing
through the important city Of the county

Van Buren's time, the Democrats have
boastingly spokenof as "the only Demo-
