wisely-the proposition to suspend the Library

Correspondence of the Ashland Union.]

hASdINGTON, Cdu- IL, 1OOO-
Mr.. Eanori-It is current that all the
nominations pending before the Senate were
ratified on Tuesday, excepting that of Mr..
Grund as consul to Havre. Judge Breese be-
comes Marshal for the Northern District of
Illinois, and Mr.. Faulkner, of Virginia, Min
lister in France.
A debate on territorial powers is now in
progress in the Senate, distinguished for the
ability of the speakers and the thoroughness
of the exposition being given to the whole sub
ject. Mr.. Green closed a clear, logical and
powerful speech yesterday, which began early
on tho morning of the previous day. Mr.
Pugh is expected to reply to him, and the
universal desire to see the "giants wrestle" is
crowding the galleries with spectators. There
is a reasonable hope among Democrats that this
searching discussion, with those which mus
follow it at various periods of the session, will
and enable Senators to commend such an
equitable platform to the Charleston Conven
ton as will meet conflicting factions.
Every body is interested in an "Organiza.
ton of the House," but Government creditors
are especially loud in their pleas for the fual
eonsummation. 1t was believed by most per-
sons and by many members themselves, that
Mr.. Hamilton, of Texas, would take the va
cant chair on last Saturday. The same opin-
ion prevailed on Monday. But the anticipated
support of those South Americans and Anti
Lccompton Democrats who had not already
voted for him failed him, and, though Mr..
Hamilton is not yet withdrawn, Democrats are
actively canvassing the claims of other men,
to be brought forward as their leader. On
Tuesday events and rumors indicated the early
take his place as the Republican candidate
He was supposed to be able to carry the Re-
publican force, all or most of the Anti-Lecomp-
t%onites, and, if need be, two or three such
South Americans as II. Winter Davis Or EN-
erson Etheredge. But the programme would
not work, because one essential element of his
success was found absent when the hour of
trial came, and Mr.. Sherman was again in the
field yesterday. Mr.. Hickman cannot get
enough Anti-Lecompton votes to elect him,
sponsibility of doing it alone.
But they must organize soon- The outside
pressure upon them is too heavy to be born
long. The active efforts of national men, and
the present state of feeling in the House
as well as throughout the country, foreshadow
lit cannot be said beyond a dowbO an Anti.
Republican Speaker.
