Overland News.

The overland mail, with dates from 81. Louis
to Dec. 12th has arrived.
The Union has very full reports of the PRO-
ceedings in Congress up to Monday evening,
Dec. 18th.
No Speaker had been elected. The Republi-
cans only lacked six votes of an election. TIE
Anti-Lecompton men of Illinois were acting with
the Democracy. Hickman, of ofPennsylvania, and
Haskin, of New York, have landed plump in the
ranks of the Black Republicans. Both say they
will vote for the Republican nominee rather than
for friend of the Administration
In the Senate Trumbull, Rep, of Illinois, said
he was in favor of deporting the free negro po-
pulation from the country-not to Africa, be-
cause of its great distance, but to some country
nearer home. He desired that this measure
might become the creed of his party.
In the House, on the 9th December, shoul-
der hitting scene like to have occurred. On that
day
Morris, of Illinois, ,Anti-Lecompton Democrat,
rising to privileged question. caused to be read
from the official report the remarks of Kellogg,
OF illinois, Republican, relative to the alleged
bargain between Greeley and Douglas, and also
from an article in the Tribune denying the tr1th
of the charge, in which Greeley while detesting
the doctrine of Douglas, says he admires his
pluck.
Kellogg replied tbs--hs .worla :
an infamous article in the 1r7ouns, as he was
anxious for the organization of the House. He
said he knew Greeley and Judge Douglas had
tria nd he
prosecute the issue.
Clark, of Missouri, Democrat, was called up
by remark of Kellogg, and pronounced false
charge that according to an arrangement, Blair
was to have the Senatorship ofMissouri. Greeley
he believed to be thief of mems characters
and unworthy of the notice of gentlemen
Kellogg disclaimed any charge against Judge
Douglas. He dealt with Greeley alone.
Logan, (Ill. Dem) regarded Kelloggs charge
as made with view to injure Douglas as can
didate for the Presidency, and depreciate him in
the estimation of the South by associating him
with Greeley, and from this time he would never
again notice his colleague who shields himself
from the responsibility of bringing proof to sup
port his charges. When he (Logan) made a
charge in the Legislature of Illinois anG was
called on for proof, he did not, like spaniel,
stink into the corner
AT this point, Kellogg, who was sitting near
Logan, deliberately advanced towards him as if
with hostile intention. Logan perceiviug the
movement put himself in the attitude of combat
The members at once sprung to the scene, some
seizing Logan and others restraining Kellogg,
amidst the greatest excitement among the mem
bers, and also all over the Hall.
After some further disturbance, Logan re-
sumed his remarks, eulogized the high charac-
ter of Douglas, and pronounced the charge
against him false in every respect.
McClernand, of Illinois Dem produced o
letter from Douglas, who branded the charge as
false.
Logan resumed, commenting in reprobation
upon tie course of the Republican party in H.
linois, and urging the Anti-Lecompton Demo-
Gratis to act with the Democratic party.

THE ALLEGED BARGAIN.-A short time ago
the Marysvile Express repeated the story that
Latham was working for Denver and expresss d
the ssnseless, ridiculous opinion that, if the
charge was true, Mr.. L. was acting dishonor-
ably 1t also, if we mistake not, intimated its
belief, if Mr.. L. was now found iavoring Gen.
Denyer's aspirations for the U. S. Senate, that a
bargain to that effect had been entered into be-
tween the two at the time Mr.. L. was nominated
for Governor. On the 3lst ultmo the Express,
in speaking of the Senatorial election, says:
" in the present instance there has been no
direct expression of opinions on the part of the
people. At the time the present Representatives
were nominated and elected no one dreamed
that vacancy would occur. Mr. Broderck's
death did not take place until after the election
Precisely. These facts were known to the
cypress at the very time it intimated the posi-
bility of said bargain being made between
Messrs. Latham and Denver If, at the time Mr..
Latham was nominated, " no ono dreamed that
vacancy would occur" in the U. S. Senate,
how could Messrs. Denver and Latham have
entered into the arrangement charged?
NEW YORK MUNICIPAL ELEcTIoN-Contrary to
general expectation, Fernando Wood has been
elected Mayor of New York over W. F. Have
meyer, Tammany candidate, and George Op-
dyke, Republican-beating Havemeyer some
3,272 votes, and Opkyke between six and eight
thousand. Wood was the candidate of the
Mozart Hall wing of the Democracy. We are
glad of this result. Havemeyer was Free-Soil
Van Buren Elector in ls4s, and materially aided
in the defeat of Gen. Cass, the regular Demo-
cratic candidate for President. Now he, the
regular Democratic candidate for Mayor New
York, is defeated by boilers. The poisoned
chalice has been placed to his own lips. Thus
may the Democratic party everywhere be pun
ished whenever it places in the leadership those
who have played the parts Of repentant rene
gades and traitors.

THR srxcERrrY OF THEIR FmESDsHrp.-

THE SIScERrrY OF THEIR FRIENDSHIP
In the early part Of the session, Mr. T. NJ.
REED was the favOrite candidate Of our
opposers for the position Of Public Printer,
and was gived the assurance that be wolld
be select as the champion who should
lead in battle the forlorn hope" But
mark well the OOd, friend REED When
the hour Of trial came, you found yourself
deserted, and there we're none so poor aS
to do you reverence" Flattered with
every hope and assurance, he did not receiU,
a rOte IN edEeE5 Yet should you not be
disgusted, for the course pursued in laying
you aside and taking up LLOYD Brook, Of
Vancouver, was rendered imperatively nee
essary by the exigencies of the occasion, it
being supposed that the members from
Clarke county, who voted for US, would be
unable to stand the heavy pressure brought
10 bear upon them, and, by this means, be
wheeled into opposition line, and thus Sc
cure their aid in effecting our defeat. But
again, as in the instance Of Mr. SMITH,
were our opponents frustrated, and we now,
in truth and all sincerely, thank these gen.
tlemen for their answering fidelity to us
under so trying a circumstance.
Our friend REED should find consolation
for the treatment received at the hands Of
some, by knowing that whilst they loved
him well" their hatred to US was so much
the greater, that the above course became
unavOidablY necessary.

be promoted, or the local interests Of 0lym-
