CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DAY BOOK.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 29tl

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. goth.
10 the Editor Of the Day Bnoh-
Great difficulty seems still to exist in re-
gard to the election of Speaker in the House
OF Representatives, although, so far, the
chances are greatly in favor OF Sher-
man, the Republican candidate. Twenty
Jour Intellectual attempts have already been
made to secure an election, but it is thought
that no election will take place until after
he New Year-and, perhaps, not then.
This morning, Roger A. Pryor, of Virgil
ala, delved most eloquent speech in the
House, in defence of the rights of the South.
He was frequently applauded, and at the
conclusion of his speech, was congratulated
by numerous friends. 1t is believed that
Mr.. P's speech will be replied to to day or
tomorrow.
1t has been showing here for several days
past, and now while write, it has descen-
ded to the depth Of about four inches,
and is still showing. The merry sleigh bells
both yesterday and to-day. have been re-
sounding through our streets, much to the
enjoyment of pleasure seekers, who are ia
King advantage of the snow.
The present state of the weather prevents
quite number of ladies from pr omenlding
the Avenue, consequently business and The
usual liveliness of the city Is in degree
suspended, although | observed q great
many ladies and gentlemen in attendance at
the House OF Representatives this morning
The city at present is without its aecus
toned amusements in the way OF theatnca'
entertainments, &C., but we are promised a
hne treat next week i'll the dramatic line,
which, doubtless our citizens will avail them
selves OF.
On the I'D of February q fine statute Of
Washington, by Clark Mills, an eminent
sculptor, will be erected-on which occasion
the military OF the city will turn out and Il
grand time is expected.
A new company has just been organized

A LAZY NIGERIA correspondent Of the
Brooklyn "Evening Eagle" writing upon the
"absor bling topic of the day" thus describes
lazy niger -
In all my experience have never seen an
unhappy slave-except lazy one and they
are not always unhappy. Did you ever see a
lazy negro No, you have not; an ordinary
negro at the South is considered smart if he
does as much work in day ordinary
white laborer would do in four hours. The
LATEST white man you ever saw could not
begin to be as indolent as lazy niger, unless
he had three or four smart men to help him -
But even the LATEST niger has his happy mo-
ments, which he would enjoy hugely were it
