THE House PRINrISG.-The hitch yesterday in

have grown out Of Mr.. Stanton's disposition to
secure chlnges in the law regulating the pay of
the Public Printer before CLOSING that officer and
Mr. Adams's disposition. If possible, to direct the
House printing into the hands Of those conducting
the NosionpI Fro. Of this city The fact that Mr.
Glossbrenner came within single vote Of Mr.
Defrees, can, however, hardly fail TO have tue
effect Of closing up the Republican-party ranks in
fave, of Mr.. D.. their nominee whose election we
anticipate to-day. Had ballot been taken yes
terday after p. m, MIR. 6. would have tied
his competitor; as about that hour Mr. Rnf!in.
who had been absent for some days, was again in
his seat. We believe Mr. GlOssbrenner has polled
all the votes he can possibly receive, for Mr.
Etheridge is pursuing the same course in this
election he pursued in that of the Speaker; and
we apprehend, will, under no circumstances, vote
for any Democrat preferrng instead TO see the
bittere't abolitonist the Republicans can start,
triumph through the fact that he holds out against
the policy pursued by the rest OF the American
party of the body.
