The Washington correspondents of ~ u.
bnQsa TinAs givss the following dseoriptiou
Of John Sherman, tho Republiean oGndidatl
for Speaker OF the House;
Nh. ShsSman h = tall, Slim, dslieat11y
formed man, with almost feminine fsataSus
dark, but mot very brilliant eyes. The intel.
lsctuai developments Of the head are mot very
prominent or strong. The forehead j. rather
Low but broad, the nose Ii slim, and : little
turned TO one side, the mouth small and in
harmony with the other features OF the faoe,
but IT. expression 10 what viii attract and
riyst the attention Of the stranger. II indi-
ostss great frnnsss and decision. His voice
ID rather weak and soft, bat 1hsrASSeristic
OF great sweetness, and though modulatsd on
very low ksy, II il easily hoard 10 any part
OF the immense hall and galleries. He ID
remarkably quiet-almost bsshful ID bic man
ner. He viii walk round . child or step into
the gutter rather than inoommode the hum
blest individual he meets upon the street.
SO gentle, unassuming and retiring is he that
gentlemen OF the 6re-eating school have
sometimes bssn tempted 10 assail him. But
they soon learned that they had roussd liz
on. That eye, gentle a. naidsn's, instantly
sparkles and blasss with scorohing intensity.
That voice, 20 low and gentle and sweet, In
stantly gathers volume and power. That
arm, % small shat : lady might envy him it,
possession, is now welded with the ponder
ous weight Of Hsrculss tho weak man, but
now 30 delicate, is instantly transformed into
giant. There ID no defiance or bluster or
menace in his voice or manner, but instead
thereof such calm, dignifed and lofty. bsar-
ing in the whole man, that his adversary
quAils before him. His intercourse with his
fellow members 10 characteristic Of tho man,
--Quiet, but frank, cordial, opsn, and warm
hearted. ! do not think he has 90 enemy in
the House,-indeed, il any man, over and
above all others, may be estsemed a. gen.
eral favorite, that man il John Sherman.-
His moral character is without blsmish,
and his political without reprossh. He il :
man OF indefatigabls industry, and Of % en-
ergy that never flags, or quaila before any
difficulty.
II elected, a. hope and believe he will be,
he will discharge the duties OF his high po-
sition with energy, decision, and Impartial
ity. OF that no one doubts, not even hin
most bitter opponents.

HouaH.--Mr. Miles (Dem.) was anxious
for Southern opposition union to Mr.. 6her-
man.
Mr.. Adrain was in favor Of the election of
q Speaker by majority vote, but would vote
for plurality rule in the event the House
could be organised in no other way.
Mr.. CLARK OF N. T., denied thas the Ls-
compton issue was dead, as WAS declared.
The Lecompton Constitution Was dead and
deserved TO die; and when it died it killed its
authors but the Kansas controversy is by
NO means ended. The English bill, which
passed both Houses, and remains in full
force, and the application for admission By
Kansas, which will be made o. soon a. the
House organizes, will encounter that at the
threshold. He desired to be informed wheth-
or the Democratic party of the House in
tend to resist the application Of Kansas for
admission. That is material point, which
affects the action OF all Anti Lecomptonits
Mr.. Curry was brought to the House from
bis sick room to vote for Speaker. A ballot
was taken, with the following result:

There was report current at Washington,
ON Monday, that the President will send 4
message to Congress opposing the admission
Of Kansas into the Union on the ground that
the requirements Of the English bill are that
q census shall be taken 70 ascertain what is
the population Of that Territory, and that
none having been taken, the Law has not been
complied with, and there 10 no legal knowl-
edge that Kansas has the required population
OF ninety three thousand. MIR. Parrott. the
delegate from that Territory, arrived at
Washington, on Sunday, and says that the
population OF Ksnsas 10 not less than one
hundred thousand. The prevailing opinion
is that there will be no organisation OF any
OF the Territories during this session, and
that If the Homestead and Kansas Admission
bills pass the House, they will not pass the
Senate. In retaliation for this, there will be
general slaughter in the House Of all Cubs
and other Administration schemes that orig
mate in the Senate. The two bodies will Be
IN direct conflict on ail political measures.
.nu an inoiscriminate onslaught will be like
y TO occur in both branches.-(C N. X.
