hSy@M Mr.. Pennington, OF New Jersey, VINO Dds o0en
elected Speaker is Republican, but not quite so black
as Mr. Sherman. It is understood, aad was, indeed
stated in the House Tuesday that he voted Tor
mont He is not one Of the sixtysx endorsers oil hep
er's hook Whether he is member of the Know NO
thing order or not cannot say. We rather tnnK ne
is or has BEEN He made himself very conspicuous by
his efforts to have Mr. Brooks of South Carolina, ex-
nelod IN account of the Sumner affair. Col. Brooks,
in his sneecb of resignation alluded to him the mem
Der from New Jersey-the prosecuting member-the
thumb-paper member-the Falstafan member, who,
Elo his nrototype was born about o'clock in the
morning. ETC.
Mr.. Pennington was the Governor of New Jersey
who affixed the Broad Seal" of that State to the
commissions of set of representatives to Congress who
were not deemed the true representatives OF the people
He was then Wing.
On Tuesday Mr.. Smith withdrew, and the Democrats
resolved to support Mr.. McClernand, of Illinois One
would have thought that after the strenuous aud united
efforts made by the Democrats to elect Mr.. Smith, the
Southern Opposition would have concentrated upon the
candidate brought out by the Democrats, but they did
not.
The result of the ballot taken on Tuesday an
nounced IS follows:
III; Mr. Pennington received ll6 Mr. McGlernand 81
Mr.. Gilmer 5 Mr.. Mcqueen 6 Mr.. Milson 6.
The Maryland delegation voted as follows MI Davis for
Pennington Messrs Hughes Stewart and Kunke for Nc
Cernand and Messrs Harris and Webster for Gilmer
The Baltimore Sun or Wednesday thus characteri-
yes the vote of Henry Winter Davis
The VOTE OF b. WINTER DAv1s.-Ths man. who gross

House Of Representatives: The act is foul calumny
reckless libel upon the citizens OF Baltimore and expnca
ina only by the violence and fraud of that club law
which prevailed here upon election day bis seat W OF

he has plunged to himself from the hdeous
which has pursued him to Washington IN the tes
m0ny taken the contested election of the State
Verify he has reward. Unfortunately Baltimore has
representation in the lower House of Congress.
Throughout this long contest the Democrats have had
nothing to accuse themselves Of If they have failed Of
full success they have not failed of doing their very best
to deserve it. They have forced the Republicans to
abandon Sherman and they have so sfted and ridded
them as to leave them but feeble ground to stand up on
before the people.
We have not yet got the vote of yesterday by which
Pennington was elected.
IS. 1t will be seen by the telegraph that the i'm
maculate Briggs, of New York, changed over to Pen
nngton, after pretending to vote for national man.
| The Price of Being Alone.
Commodore Stockton, of New jersey wealthy man
largely interested in iron works. writes letter in which
be states the price which is demanded of the South by
way of Black Mail for that is the true meaning of his
remarks.
He says that things cannot 60 on as they are going
without blow up the North must let the South alone
and as the price of that orbearance the South must lei
Pennsylvania and New jersey have just what kind o
Tariff they please. We won't steal your negroes but
you must give ten or fifteen Per cent more duty or
ron so that we can charge you several dollars more pei
ton for the rails you put your roads the materials
you use to make your ploughs.
i These are not Commodore Stocktons very words
but they convey his meaning as plainly as they can
They are the propositions Of free booter who stpate
price at which you can buy him off. We do not g.
for submitting to any such e1torton. We take it tina
Mr. Pennington, the speaker elect, is of the Tart
i School with Mr.. Stockton
