Special Dispstoh TO The N Y. Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Friday, Jan. 6. 1860.
A NEW DEAL PROPOSED.

NEW DEAL PROPOSED.
Mr.. Miles's proposition for members to resign
and return to their constituencies received lin.
tied response from the Democratic side; and like
Mr. Winslow's for conference among the three
elements adverse to Mr.. Sherman, made no impress
sion on the House. The assumption of Mr.. Miles
that the whole Southern Opposition would unite on
Democrat for Speaker, if the Anti-Lecompton
men could be obtained, was not warranted by any
authorized declaration, and will not be sustained by
the fact
There was an evident pressure to-day to force q
fusion between the Democrats and Southern oppo-
sitioD, but there was no development justfying
such probability Immediately. In any event sew
era Of the latter will resist coalition, and though
should the plurality be granted the contest will be
close, and probably reduced to two or three votes
Mr.. Shermans friends are willing to take the
hazard, rather than protract the organization.
MR.. BRIGGsS POSITION.
Mr.. Briggs's speech left his position as undecided
as heretofore though with less significance, against
Mr.. Sherman. He did not deny having committed
himself in the canvass in favor Of Republican or
ganizaton.
THE BALLOT.
There was one ballot to-day in which Mr.. Sher-
man lacked three of an election Most pairs have
expired, there being only twelve absentees Mr..
Davis of Indiana obtained nine votes, after the
humiiating exhibition yesterday, among whom was
Horace Clark.
Mr. Schwartz, who has been sick for month
il Al L.
physician was induced to pair to-day, by urgent
appeals to his friends, being in unfit condition to
remain.
MIR. BROWN.
1t is positively asoertained that Mr.. Brown Of
Kentucky will not vote for Speaker under any cir
cumstances. He attains his constitutional age in
June.
Mr. Stallworth is expected INN ediateIy and his
presence win fill the House.
MR.. DAvISS SPEECH.
Mr. Bright of Indiana is represented as saying,
after Mr. Daviss speech yesterday, he would rather
vote for Mr.. Sherman than him.
THE BROWNSVILLE MATTER.
Reliable intelligence states that the recent re-
ports of attacks on Brownsville by Cortina and
gueIrias were mainly unfounded and exagger-
ated; that they we're designed principally for the re-
establishment of military post there, with large
collection of troops and expenditures, and to au-
thorize the calling out of Texas volunteers at Gov
eminent expense. Officers of the army write there
was no occasion for any alarm, and that the whole
affair was selfish contrivance.
THE DIsUNION MOVEMENT.
II 10 weIl understood NOW that Virginia will take
no steps to second the disunion movement, pro-
posed by South Carolina, and that Mr.. Neminger,
Commissioner of the latter, will effect nothing by
bis mission. Mr.. Wise's policy of contending for
Southern Rights inside of the Union, has defeated
the programme Of the nullifiers. Mr.. Pryor took
substantially the same ground here in his recent
speech.
ARIZONA.
There is no probability that Territorial Gov
eminent will be established over Arizona this ses
sion.
THE POsT-OFPICR SCRIP.
Most banks here holding hypOthecations OF
Post Office scrips, for advances, have agreed to
carry them until Speaker is elected. Necessity
compelled concession.
ADMISSION or KANSAS.
When Horace +. Clark asked the Democratic
side, to-day, if they would vote for the admission
of Kansas Immediately, not one answered afirma-
tively Mr.. De Jarnette of Virginia evaded the
inquiry by saying he would meet it when the ques-
ton was presented. All Northern Democrats sat
silent.
