The SpeaIxership Struggle.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2y.-There have been many
private conferences to-day among the members of
the different parties in the House, with a view of
perfeeting the arrangements for tomorrow, re-
gardIng the Speakership. The prospect is, that if
the Republicans unite all their Sherman vote on
Mr. Pennington, he will receive several aceessions
from the anti-Lecompton Democrats, including
Mr.. Adrain. Messrs. Holman and Davis, of Indi-
ana, and Mr.. Allen, of Ohio, the three dissenting
western Democrats, have not yet yielded to the
persuasion of their friends to vote for Mr.. Smith,
OF North Carolina, nor is it probable they WILL ac-
cording to what is considered reliable information
Since Friday some gentlemen have been making
special investigation into the political antecedents
OF Mr.. Smith, with the design of damaging his po-
sltion as candidate for the Speakership. There
is no data for assertion as to the result of the
contest further than it promises to be decided with
in the present week, perhaps tomorrow

" WASHINGTON, January 2S.-The Republicans held
caucus this morning at the Capitol, in reference
to the Speakership. There was full attendance
but no result was attained, and many came away
before the adjournment, leaving others discussing
in brief speeches the subject under consideration.
In consequence of this non-agreement, the Republi-
cans will 60 into the House on Monday without any
particular candidate or agreement, as on the first
dav of the session.
There were one hundred and eleven members
present at the caucus. Mr.. Sherman proposed to
withdraw his name a candidate for Speaker, ex-
pressing the hope that his friends would follow his
example and cast their votes in another direction
There was question taken on the receiving of
his decension. 1t is represented that the discus
sion was marked by much spirit and earnestness,
and that a request was made that the gentlemen
present would not communicate to the press the
proceedings, which were considered in the nature
of family affairs. About nine-tenths of the mem
bers expressed their intention to support Mr.. Pen
nngton, while the others remained silent. They
rely on the votes of Messrs. Adrian, Riggs and
Reynolds, which, according to their calculation,
united with those who have supported Mr.. Sher-
man, would give that party precisely half of the
House.

enough so that in stepping from the chair, box or
