have known, on reflection, that Gov. CHASE
would hardly have approached the Doctor up
On this or any other matter in which he felt
an interest, because the Doctor is understood
to be in favor of Dir. DELANo for the United
States Senate. Gov. CHASE would therefore

CHASE made out during the early part of the

Senatorship, and to the postponement of the
election, the Columbus Fact, (opposition) says:

that should Chase be elected to succeed Pugh,

- HOUSE.
Mr.. Adrian caused to be read a paragraph
from the N. Y. Tribune in which it was said
Messrs Horace F. Clark, Riggs, Adrian, Briggs
nd Davis, of Ind, were elected with the aid
of Republican votes, with the un erstanding
that hey would assist the Republicans in the
organization of the House. He said he would
not engage in a personal controversy with the
Tribune.
Mr.. Adrian would not engage in a personal
controversy with any editor. He had great
respect for Mr.. Greeley and considered that
he had been misinformed by some evil disposed
party. There was rot a par t;cle of truth in
the Tribune's statement. He had made no
such pledge. and was under no such obligations
as were implied in the statement, but never
theless he. could imagine q contingency where
the interests of the country and his ow.. sense
of duty might compel him to unite with til.
Republicans in effecting al organization.
Riggs also denied the truth of the Tribune's
allegation, and on motion Of Mr.. Maynard the
House proceeded to vote for Speaker.
The House voted for Speaker amid much
excitement. The South Americans voted for
Smith of N c.. Various Democrats now seeing
there was a prospect of an election changed
their votes to him. Some made brief explain

on all sides. :
Nj. Morris, of Pennsylvania, Milward, Nix
on, Scranton and Wood who had voted hereto
fore for Sherman now voted fer SIN tn. Be
fore the result was announced there was a
change in the current of feeling.
Mr.. John Cocbr ne rose to give his reasons /
why he could not vote for Smith.
Several gentlemen endeavored to deprive
him of the floor by raising points of order on
him.
In conclusion Mr.. Cochrane changed his
vote to Mr.. Millson. He could vote for none
