Of appreciation. When Winter Davis was called,
be answered roubdly, "PenniDgtOn!" and was
greeted WI h storm of applause from the hoor
and galleries. This bathurst of popular sympathy
excited the chivaly, and Mr.. Burnett rose to dep
recate such disorder, forgetting how his own side
had just appauded Mr Briggs.
That vote seemed to settle the fate Of the day
and the Democratic crest dropped with deSponden
CIV. MANY Southern Democrats either declined
voting at first, or voted with apologize reflections
on Mr. Netherlands principles, while the Amer-
cans withheld their votes, cOnditIonally promising
to give them if decisive hut not otherwise. When
Nir. Riggs was reached he voted for Mr. McCler-
nand IN feeble tone, If ashamed of his mortify-
ing position. Finally, the roll was finished after
long delay by the Clerk, allowing time to whip in
refractory members. As Mr.. Riggs had given posi-
tive last night TO various parties that his
vote would be given for Mr. Pennington when it
cnuld elect, there expectation that he would
rise and change; but the Southern leaders for
bsde it.
The result was announced aud Mr. Pennington
lacked one vote Of an election. Mr.. McCernaDd
received only 81 votes. Nr. Winslow immediately
moved an adjournment, fearing that the next ballot
would carry Mr. Pennington into the chair. Our
friends demanded vote TO complete the Orgariza-
ton Mr.. English and other men, who were Of
Tended at the treatment of Mr.. McClernand, re-
fused TO adjourn, amid great confusion. The
Yeas and Nays were called and an adjournment was
voted down by large majority. Another motion
was made and sceoe of difOrder followed, with
nearly half the House on then feet vOcieratiDg.
Mr. Colfax called the attention of the country to
The factous course of the Democracy in preventing
the election of Speaker after a majority had re-
fused adjournment. Mr.. Stanton and others au-
nouDced that they were ready to SIT all night to con-
cude the work. Mr. Burnett stated that his friends
had determined a vote should not be taken; but no
resistance would oe made tomorrow. With this
understanding the Il ,use adjourned.
No doubt is entertained OF Mr.. PenningtOns cleo
fion though every appliance will be used to operate
on Messrs. Briggs aud Riggs. The former declared
if an adjournment yielded he would support
Mr. Pennington tomorrow; 80 did Me Riggs, as
soon as Mr.. McclerDand was dropped. One
object of the adjournment was to organize CON-
pmentary vote for MIR Winslow, who has been the
Dtm0CrdIc ledOer thrDt 90 tDe contest.
THE PRINTING INVESTIGATION.
The Senate Committee of Investigation on the
Printing matter, met to-day, and summoned Messrs
Wendell and Towers. They then adjourned till
Friday. Some refreshing developments are expect
ed from the inquiry, duplicating members of the
Cabinet.
Outside parties who have heretofore printed
Post Office blanks and other Executive work, have
refused to renew their contracts with Mr. Bowman
in order to embanass him IN fulfilling HIS obligations
THE PACIFIC RAILROAD.
The President has prepared special Message
recommending the Pacific Railroad, which will be
submitted soon after tie organization of the House.
He fayors no particular project.
THE MEXICAN TREATY.
Mr. McLane came t. New Orleans principally to
learn the prospect for the treaty before the Senate
and to communicate Information intended to pro-
mote its ratification. WthOutthis aid Juarez can
not maintain himself. He lie now considered as be-
ing on his last legs.
No documents were communicated with the treaty
10 the Senate, except brief letter from Mr.. Nc
Lane to the STATE Department which was of no
special importance.
