THE ORGANIZATION OF THE HOUS


From present appearances the Hon. Schuyler
Oolfax, of Indiana. Is destined to be the Speaker
OF the new House. His only opponent for the
nomination by the supporters OF the Govern
ment in the due prosecution Of the war, Is
MIR. Elihu Washburns, Of Illinois, who, though
deservedly g very popular member, does not
seem likely to divide the vote In the caucus to-
morrow evening seriously with Mr.. G.. The
latter owes his better chance Of election to his
admitted rnre qualifications and Il i ~ pre-
siding oflcer.
An effort will do ubtless be made by the op-
position TO run in some outside gentleman,
standing with Mr.. Colfax upon the war ques.
tions In issue; bat with Nessrs Webster, Cress-
we'll, Davis, and Thomas, Of MARYLAND, Ger.
tain to sustain Mr.. Colfax, as we believe them
to be, we do not perceive any chance for his
defeat.
The candidates for tho Clerkship already
known. are Messrs Mcpherson, of Pa; Sanl
Fessenden, OF Me-; Green Adams, OF Ky Kel-
sey, OF N. Y: Burlington, Of Mass; and Mr..
Etheridgs. OF Tenn, the CLERK of the last
House. 1t is impossible for any one to esu-
mate correctly in advance what is to be tho re-.
suit Of the contest for the Clerkship and other
elective office of the body; as little reliance
is to be placed on the promises Of politicians in

Colonel Medallion, in reply, spoke at some

thr; ughout the war that had pressed upon the
Fsltimore and Ohio Railroad company, and
the mastery manner in which they had been
trappled with and overcome. He closed By
proposing the health of John W. Garrett. ESQ,
PRESIDENT Of that company.
Mr.. VIM. Prescott Smith was again called M
TO respond to that toast, and went into a recital
Of the wonderful labors and exertlons of Mr..
g., TO which he attributed the company's sue
cess In performing its very large share in the
work of putting down the rebellion. In this
correction, Mr.. Smith paid warm tribute to
the patriotic whole-souled Unionism shown by
Mir. Garrett in the performance Of his arduous
duties.

Camden and Amboy road: Mr.. Steele, on be-

ties OF perfecting such through arrangements
without changes OF cars over long lines of

railroad managers had aided the Governments
military operations in all quarters of the loyal
States.
few ether addresses were made before the
company retired, at about ~ p. H., very happy
and well pleased with each other.

THE ARMY o. THE POTOMAC AM

1t is by no means wonderful that the New
York and other papers loudly deplore the
fasco that has resulted in The return of the
Army of the Potomac to their former quarters
near the south tank OF the Rappahannock,
which go .orcibly and painfully reminds the
public Of the similar ,fascos in permitting Lee
to escape at Williamsportsnd,ag again. in order

PeTer back TO MANASSAS before the advance of
Lee with scarcely more than a third IS many
men as Gen. Meade commanded.
so long sS our army III this quarter con-
Times to Be guided by its present councils In
the field, it is now clear it will fail to coma
mand public confidence; a requisite Of success
almost SIS necessary as that those councils
should command The confidence OF the army
Itself; which is now BY no means the case, as
was clearly demonstrated by the bitter and out.
spoken scoffing with which the order for this
last retrograde movement: was received by the
rank and file.
We apprehehd thai, though the forward
movement amounted 10 but a reconnaissance
IN force, its purpose was, certainly, 10 give Lee
battle wherever found. There can be NO mis-.
axe in this fact, though il Is now sought to be
denied.
We know, further that the season for sctiye
operations under oetire commanders In this
section has not closed as is being represented
by more or less newspapers. So, if Lee, rely
ing upon q continuance of the chronic hesitancy
that has n m irtad the cnnn.;Ir of Nam ro,ao
ventures TO reinforce Longstrest considerably
from his own army, which he has yet time q,
least to attempt, it is to be pres med that the
Government will promptly seek to make him
pay dear for his ,emerity; as our Army of the
Potomac, itself, is as ready at this moment to
move against him again, as it WAS when un-
dertaking SO to do a few DAYS since.
1t is not for as TO venture to suggest the
name Of a commander TO be relied on no, to
be afflicted with Discrimination to risk col
hsion with Lees army, Numbering, as that
does, scarcely more than q third, or, at most.
half as many men as ours. Nor can We with
greater propriety suggest the names of other
councillors for that General, whoever he NAV
be. In place of those Who ..saw snakes, tn II did
not exist at Williamsport and Culpeper, and
again, probably, at Mine Run. But we venture
10 assert the great unanimity of public opinion
~ the belief that our Army Of the Potomac
viii continue TO be utterly useless to the cauSe.
until others take their places. The nation has
othsr uses fer our armies than that of merely
<aakins fat places for Generals.
