THE SPEAKERSHIP.
of the Hon. J. G. BIai,

Nomination of the Hon. j. G. Blaine.
The Republican caucus was held last evening
in Washington. Messrs. 0. j. Dickey, Fitch,
Ketcham, and Bingham were chosen secreta-
hes. The Hon. H. l.. Dawes, in an eloquent
and impressive speech, nominated Mr.. Blaine
for Speaker Of the Forty-frst Congress, and
said:-
MIR, ChaIrman:-The office of Speaker of the
American House of Representatives is worthy
the highest am Dition. The third in rank under
the Constitution, 1t has become, in the eco
nomy OF our administration, second in honor
and power only to that of President.
This distinction is not little due to the illus
trous names associated with the discharge OF
its difficult and delicate duties, N ost conspi-
cuous among which is that of the distinguished
gentleman now about to retire so gracefully
from its responsibilities and honors. 1t was,
therefore, to me matter of unaffected diff
dence, but of unfeigned qualification, that any
considerable number of members of the Forty
first Congress considered ME worthy of that
high position; but when 1t becomes evident to
me thst the selection OF another would be
likely to be more acceptable TO a majority OF
those members, no earthly consideration could
induce me to longer occupy the position OF
candidate. ! embrace this opportunity to
publicly express my deep obligation to those
whose partiality have thus enjoyed. 1t only
| remains for me TO discharge the pleasant d1ty
OF giving expression to the choice which has
| thus become unanimous. do this, sir, In the
| full assurance that the office will lose in the
future none OF that dignity or lustre which has
| so distinguished II in the past.
With these remarks, 1t is hardly necessary for
me to say, that arise 10 move, as do now, the
| nomination, by acclamation, of the Hon. James
| G. Blaine, OF Maine, for Speaker OF the Forty
| FIRST Congrese.

consisted Of eight platform cars, two Of
which were partially loaded with railroad
iron. Seven cars went down, turning
over in the descent, and several were broken
10 pieces. The bridge is complete wreck.
A number Of men who were buried be-
meath the ruins were not got out for twenty
five or thirty minutes. The train that
broke through passed over the bridge IN

iron. The afternoon passenger train from
Louisville, with five cars full of passenger,
passed over the bridge about thirty min
utes before the accident.
The bridge will be sufficiently repaired
for trains TO run to-day.
