Independent" the reliable wash
ington correspondent Of the Philadelphia
North American says:
While the organs of the Adminstra-
ton have given ont Shat the treasury is
in a healty condition. and Mr.. Cobb has
informed his patty friends it can stand
siege of six months, we happen to know
that neither of these statements are well
founded. Tie last official 1balaspce in

four millions, which is nearly two mil
lions below the margin for smooth work.
ing with ordinary demands. Mr.. Cobb
recently advertised three millions of thel
reserve of the treasury notes for sale and
when thGpro rata distribution came to be
made, he proposed to arportion five mil
lions, or nearly the whole reserve at his
disposal. The bidders in New York pro-
tested against this singular proceeding
and the Secretary had to recedc yester-
day. These notes are Tess than o million
and quarter of the loan of lS58--now
advertised for sale constituting the sole
resources. except the small misccllane-
Gus items of Mr.. Cobb, in addition to the
regular revenue from customs and lands
Iftherefore the Post Office bill should be
passed any Jay, ne IS without Tie means
TO meet the deficit of last July, and tho
first quarter which expired on the 30th
September, to shy nothing of the million
due for pay and mileage. These three
items will require overtime millions down,
and If paid, the Secretary would find him
self without dollar to work the Depart
ment, except as the diminished imports
came in. 1t is therefore perfectly obvi-
Gus, as has been frequently suggested in
this correspondence that the AdminiGnnn
ton must finally yield the o1G
the House to relieve the
the governments. 1t is powe
its party, and therefore cann0t
other Americans have done. Bat iNtfi-
vidual members can be reached, and
they must be detailed for the service be-
fore long. Four abscntees would organ
ize the House tomorrow.

paS" The messages of the Governors of
New York and Pennsylvania, if the tele-
graphich reports are to be relied on, are
eminently conservative in spirit, and fair
in their protestations. Surprising that
they are correct indications of public
sentiment, it is encouraging to see the
two largest States of the Union exhibit a
disposition to observe the compacts of
the Constitution. Let us accept these
developments as hopeful signs of the flu
ture.

Reporting Progress on the Speaker

The Washington Star, Democratic
journal, thus sums up the'proeress as yet
made toward the election Of Speaker of
the Houses: fsE va f
Tho months balleting has proved
the determination of the Helper book
platform party to be content with the
election Of non other than Mr.. Sherman
--dm Cssar, dM nuiius. II has also demon
strated that there arc Democratic MEM
bers in the House who will vote for no
Southern Oppositiohist under any circum-
stances-others'ofth party who will vote
for no antiLecompton Democrat also,
that no Southern Oppositionist with the
exception of Mr.. Winter Davis) win vote
for Mr.. Sherman, and that some of the
Southern @ppesitionis will vote for no one
but one of their organization and lastly,
! that the anti-Lecomptonites who have
! not yet gone over to the Republican par
ty will vote for no one who can concen-
tratc nearly the whole Democratic and
South American strength.
The plain English Of all this is, that
no one can possibly be elected Speaker
by majority vote.
As the rules now stand. q dozen mem
bers acting in combination may post
pone vote upon the plurality rule UNI
