Parties in New York.

The New \ ork legislature has found some
difficulty in completing its organization. In
the senate where the republicans have eight
majority, everything is in readiness for work;
but in the house, where the Seymour party
has claimed majority, the parties are evenly
divided, and ballot after ballot for speaker has
stood Sherwood 60, Dean So. Dean is the
democratic candidate. Moreover, he belongs
to New York city and is a Fernando Wood
democrat, and therefore not satisfactory to all
those who have voted for him so steadily.
Wood, who is avowedly candidate for u. s.
senator, seems to have outmanaged even the
'Albazegency but it is plain enough that he
cannot be elected senator, and also that some
republican will be elected. A partizan of
Wood, writing from Albany to the New York
Herald, discourses as follows on the caucus
ing and balleting for speaker -
ALBANY, Jan. There has been the
greatest excitement imaginable this afternoon
over the contest for speaker An irrepressi-
BILE conflict has sprung up between a portion
of the New York delegation and the regency.
There has been a great deal of bitter talk be-
tween them. Richmond, Cagger, &C., were
given to understand that they must take Judge
Dean or republican, and that they should no
longer be dictated to by them. The talk be-
tween them was far from being mealy-
mouthed. The developments this evening
have satisfied me that the regency is not SO
fully identified in the game to trade Judge
Dean as supposed.
''During the session and Immediately after
the adjournment leading radicals we're circu-
lating the story that there was only one way
to organize the assembly, and that was to
have resolution offered to the effect that
Saxton Smith or Mr.. Trimmer be declared
the speaker of the house, and some other per-
son of the radical party be declared the clerk.
To this they always added that that was what
the regency wanted and were working for,
for the reason that the election of Dean would
be considered as advancing Woods chances
for SENATOR to which the regency were op-
posed, they desiring s. L. Church. OF course
this story spread like wildfire, and came very
near kicking up a universal row. The re-
gency managers found even Albany decidedly
too hot place for a short time. There is
unquestionably some truth in the statement
of the radicals Yet what the regency has
done has been exaggerated.
''rhere is great deal of jealousy against
Wood in some Of the rural districts, and of
course this is being used against Dean under
the charge that he is Woods representative.
The regency strength being entirely in the
country, they have been compelled to yield to
it more or less or lose their influence; but
that they have been considering the subject
of dropping Dean is manifested by private
remark of Mr.. Corning tonight, that thev
now wanted Saxton Smith. The conserva-
tives held caucus at the Delavan this after
noon. The only positive demonstration was
the frowning down of proposition to vote for
republican clerk, for sufficient support to
secure the election of Dean. Several prom
ises were made that this or that republican
would be absent tomorrow, and the house
organized. These promises amount to moth
ing.
'The republicans held a caucus in the
court of appeals room. Their whole force
was there, and were decided in standing firm
Several managers in the ranks of the con-
sentative republican side met at Weeds
house, and had long com ultation, and came
to the conclusion that there would be no or
ganization this week, and that matters were
not yet ripe for combinations that would be
successful. Thus the question stands at IL
tonight, with no chance of an organization of
the assembly tomorrow, unless some Won
derful deed is done before morning"
